The King of Beijing in the Red Mansion

Chapter 126: There is a Ventriloquist in the Capital

"It's normal, you don't have to worry about it."

Shui Rong did not think much of "Heaven on Earth". He originally opened this club to make some pocket money and to implicitly show his superiors his attitude of wasting time on trivial matters. As for the third point, there was very little entertainment in ancient times. It was nice to open an entertainment venue where he could drink and listen to music when he had nothing to do.

But now that Shui Rong has entered the court, the guild hall seems unimportant. As long as it can guarantee profitability and increase some income, it will be fine. After all, if Shui Rong really wants to make a profit, how could he sell dog meat under the guise of selling mutton?

The remaining part was used as a place to stay for the daughters of the Jiaofangsi.

Du Yuejiao's pretty face flushed, her beautiful eyes were full of water, she bit the boy in front of her lightly, and said hesitantly: "Boss, I have an idea. If it works, the business of the club will be better."

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows upon hearing that, retracted his head, and stared at the beautiful woman in front of him with a slightly puzzled look.

He had handed over all the affairs of "Heaven on Earth" to this little girl. If she had any ideas, she could just make her own decision. There was no need to report to him.

Du Yuejiao also understood what the young man meant, and said bluntly without hiding anything: "Boss, our guild is well-known, and I have a younger sister who also wants to live in the guild."

Shui Rong suddenly realized after hearing this that "Heaven on Earth" would not force customers to come in, and they were also protected by the guild. This kind of environment was like heaven for a girl living in a "prostitute" place.

And Du Yuejiao is one of the best among prostitutes. Even if she is not an oiran, she is called sister, but she is still a famous girl in the capital. If she is introduced to the guild hall, it will be equivalent to star effect, which is undoubtedly Adding fame to the clubhouse will naturally bring a steady stream of guests.

What Du Yuejiao reported to him right now was nothing more than that the man's ransom money was not small, which was a huge expense. Even if Du Yuejiao was a partner, she would not make a decision on her own.

Shui Rong was very satisfied with Du Yuejiao's report. After all, he could be generous to her, but this was not the basis for Du Yuejiao to act on her own.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong said casually: "Okay, you can do it yourself."

Anyway, all the affairs of the guild hall have been handed over to Du Yuejiao, and this little girl is also his own person, so he might as well leave it to her. Besides, this is an important matter, and it is nothing more than a matter of initial investment.

Du Yuejiao raised the corners of her mouth when she heard that, and looked at the boy with her eyes as moist as dew. She knew in her heart that this was just a casual thing in the eyes of the boy, but for Du Yuejiao, even a small gesture could make him feel warm.

Pursing her pink lips, Du Yuejiao said softly, "I do want to, but my sister is in a bit of trouble, so I need the help of the master."

Shui Rong didn't take it seriously. He reached out and took off the thin gauze dress that the beauty was wearing, revealing her snow-white shoulders. He smiled and said, "I will ask Ziying to come forward and offer a reasonable ransom."

The courtesans and the like are the signature of the brothel and are equivalent to cash cows. Anyone with a brain will never make a move rashly. Now that Du Yuejiao wants him to help, it is probably because the old brothel owner is greedy.

As the saying goes, the people should not fight against the officials. He didn't believe that the brothel owner would dare to refuse the favor, especially since she wasn't paying him.

Du Yuejiao didn't care about the gauze dress. Her charming eyes flickered and she said cautiously, "Boss, my sister is a red lady from Fengming Courtyard. A few days ago, a nobleman took a fancy to her and planned to redeem her."

Upon hearing this, Shui Rong's lips paused an inch away from the soft spot, and then he raised his eyes to look at the beauty in front of him.

No wonder Du Yuejiao reported to him, it turned out that she encountered difficulties.

For prostitutes, although they nominally sell their art but not their bodies, they have no say in matters when they meet the powerful. Shui Rong is familiar with "Fengmingyuan", after all, Du Yuejiao was born there, and he also knows the reputation of Yi Nianhong, the most beautiful woman in the capital.

It's just that it involves the powerful. Although Du Yuejiao is worried about her sister, the young man in front of her is the one close to her. There are some things she cannot refuse, and at least she has to get Shui Rong's permission.

Shui Rong naturally understood the reason and was very pleased with Du Yuejiao's lack of making decisions. It would be disgusting if the beauty in front of him didn't know what to say because of her status.

After a pause, Shui Rong took a bite and stammered amid the beauty's groaning: "Isn't it a good thing that someone redeemed her? Could it be that Miss Yi Nianhong is still thinking of staying in the brothel for the rest of her life?"

Although Shui Rong's words were blunt, they were true. Being redeemed was a way out for a brothel girl. Since a nobleman was willing to redeem her, what was there to refuse? She couldn't wait until she was old and ugly to be tasted by thousands of people!

Du Yuejiao raised her neck, bit her lower lip, and said in a trembling voice, "Master, you don't know that man's character is hard to praise. If my sister is redeemed by him, I'm afraid she won't live past the end of the year. I asked my sister to delay for a while in the name of consideration. Seeing my sister's firm attitude, the noble had to agree. But now it has been delayed for quite a while, and it can't be delayed any longer. If Master doesn't come, I can't help but go to look for you."

Shui Rong frowned when he heard this. He thought that Yi Nianhong was too arrogant and unwilling to submit to others.

As for Du Yuejiao, Shui Rong not only likes her charm, but more importantly, she knows herself well. Based on her understanding of Shui Rong, Shui Rong will not care even if she sends someone to the palace to ask for his help. It's just that her identity is destined not to be revealed in front of others. She will only feel her existence when Shui Rong remembers her.

Now Du Yuejiao could not help but go to the palace to find her. It was obvious that he cared about that pinch of red. This reminded Shui Rong of Du Yuejiao's previous resentment. He was afraid that there was more than just jealousy.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong felt inexplicably unhappy. He grabbed her jade back with both hands and raised his eyebrows, "Why, you are very familiar with Yi Nian Hong, and you care so much about her?"

Du Yue gave Shui Rong a glare, saying that the boss was really something and his subordinates didn't know how to behave properly.

Du Yuejiao nodded her head and said with a somewhat melancholy tone: "When I was in Fengming Courtyard, I often discussed music with my sister, and my sister often helped me, so our relationship was very good. In my heart, I treated her as my own sister, so I took her seriously. Otherwise, I would not bother the master even if I had a hundred guts."

Shui Rong pondered for a moment after hearing this, thinking that this little girl was sensible and should be rewarded. Otherwise, how could he expect others to give their hearts to him? Regardless of whether Du Yuejiao was innocent or not, now that she was with him, she was his woman.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong asked: "What noble person? Tell me about it."

In the capital, there are only a handful of people whose status is more noble than Shui Rong's, but as a prince, things will become complicated if he shows up.

If that nobleman was not one of the most powerful people in the capital, he would have helped her because she was his "friend" and Yi Nianhong's entry into "Heaven on Earth" would have brought benefits.

Du Yuejiao's eyes were filled with joy when she heard this. She knew that since Shui Rong had asked, he must have some intention, so she replied, "That person is the Marquis of Haining."

"hiss"

Du Yuejiao cried out in pain and looked at the young man with her clear eyes full of reproach.

Shui Rong noticed the strangeness of the beauty, and knew that he had gone too far before. He swallowed and said with saliva, "My dear, I didn't mean it."

Du Yuejiao's face flushed red, and she pouted her pink lips and said, "I don't blame you, but I'll just be more careful next time. It hurts!"

Shui Rong did not refute what he said.

After pacifying the beautiful lady, Shui Rong asked, "Is it the Marquis of Haining himself?"

Du Yuejiao listened to Shui Rong's serious tone and didn't understand what he meant for a moment, but now that the boss asked, she could only nod her head and reply, "It's the Marquis of Haining himself."

Shui Rong smiled when he heard this. He was just looking for an excuse to deal with Marquis Haining, but he didn't expect that one would be delivered to him.

The Daqian Code clearly stipulates: "Any official who has sex with a prostitute shall be punished with 60 strokes of the cane. The matchmaker shall be punished one level less. If the official's descendants (who should inherit the family patronage) have sex with a prostitute, they shall be punished in the same way. Those who have sex with a prostitute and drink alcohol shall also be punished under this law."

It is quite normal for officials to have prostitutes nowadays, but it is generally not publicized. Besides, all men have such hobbies, and no one will use this as a reason to criticize them.

But right now Shui Rong just lacks a reason. If he makes some plans based on this and expands the matter, everything will fall into place.

Shui Rong was thinking about this, and then he said, "Please ask Miss Yi Nian Hong to come over later. I have something to ask her. If it's reasonable, I don't mind helping her."

Since he wanted to make a plan, he needed to invite someone over. In addition to asking some questions about Marquis Haining, he also needed his cooperation.

Du Yuejiao didn't notice him when she heard that, and shouted outside. Lian'er came in. After Du Yuejiao told her to send someone to invite the person, Lian'er didn't stay long.

Shui Rong didn't say anything when she saw this. It was obvious that this little girl still understood the situation and the most important thing at the moment was to take good care of herself.

Seeing this, Shui Rong didn't say much. He stood up and reached out to gently press the beauty's head.

Du Yuejiao lowered her eyes and took a look. She knew what the young man meant. She raised her charming eyes and glared at him. Then she untied the green auspicious cloud brocade belt with her bare hands, tucked her hair around her ears, and lowered her head.

Shui Rong made a gentle sound, lowered his eyes to look at the beauty buried in her head, stretched out his hand to help the beauty hold the green hair around her ears, and felt comfortable.

There are people in the capital who are good at ventriloquism, and Yuanchun and her friends are really hard to match.

Chapter 127 Shui Rong: He is everywhere

"Miss, here comes the red girl."

When Du Yuejiao heard Lian'er's voice outside, her closed almond-shaped eyes opened a little, and her rosy face was startled.

This place is quite far from Fengmingyuan, and it takes an hour to go back and forth. How come you got here so quickly? Could it be that you were so engrossed that you didn't pay attention to the time?

Thinking of this, Du Yuejiao hurriedly shook her head. After more than an hour, the young man must be a god.

Du Yuejiao could not help thinking too much. Her bright eyes looked at the man lying on her body. Seeing that he was unmoved, she bit her lip and reminded him softly, "Boss, my sister is here."

It happened that they arrived just in time for the service. Even if she hadn't entered the house, she could tell what had happened just by imagining it. Lian'er was the same, she didn't know anything at all. In this situation, she could only urge them a little.

Shui Rong didn't care when he heard that. He raised his hand and slapped him, saying in a clear voice, "Just ask Lian'er to take the people to the compartment to rest."

He was in the middle of doing something, how could he give up halfway? He didn't want to ruin his mood. Besides, the other party was asking him to do something, so how could he not understand this little rule?

Du Yuejiao snorted softly, and glanced at the young man with her watery almond-shaped eyes in reproach.

The young master is the same, he always likes to beat her, but she doesn't hate it and always feels a little strange.

Du Yuejiao bit her lip, squeezed out her strength, raised her head and shouted to the outside of the house: "Lian'er, take your sister to the partition to rest, I, ah, will be there in a moment."

Following a disgusted groan and intermittent words, the person outside the house seemed to realize something and left with slightly messy steps.

At this moment, Du Yuejiao's pink face was as red as blood, her pearly teeth were biting her pink lips, and her bright almond eyes were looking at the young man lying on her with anger.

She was replying, how could I bump into her?

Shui Rong lowered his eyes to look at the beauty, and seeing her angry eyes, he couldn't help but feel proud. He didn't know why, but when he knew there was someone outside the house, he became excited...

After about a cup of tea, the tent finally became quiet.

After a while, a pair of tender feet landed on the ground, ignoring the embroidered shoes, and walked to the table on the carpet. She picked up the teacup in her bare hands and started drinking.

After taking a breath, Du Yuejiao looked around with her watery eyes. When she saw the Jinqian red floral bodice that had been casually dropped, she went forward to pick it up.

"Don't you want to take a break?"

Shui Rong, who was leaning on the couch, looked at the beautiful woman who was lacing her belt and couldn't help but speak. This little girl was so soft before, but her spirit recovered in a short while. It's really a field that can't be plowed badly.

Upon hearing this, Du Yuejiao glared at Shui Rong with her dewy almond eyes and said in a tender voice, "Boss, my sister is still waiting in the cubicle!"

She also heard the messy footsteps from before, which showed that the other party knew the situation in the house. If this was delayed for too long, she would become a laughing stock in the future.

Shui Rong didn't care. She thought that taking a break at this time would be good for her body and mind. She would just wait. Even if she had to wait for a whole day, she still had to wait.

Seeing this, Du Yuejiao didn't say much. After tidying herself up, she coaxed Shui Rong up with some sweet words and carefully helped her change clothes.

After a while, both of them were dressed neatly. Du Yuejiao took a breath and asked in a slightly inquiring tone, "Boss, let's go over now!"

Shui Rong didn't care when he heard that. He glanced at the beautiful woman's charming face, smiled, reached out and picked up an embroidered handkerchief and handed it to her, jokingly saying, "Why don't you be more careful? Wipe the corners of your lips!"

Du Yuejiao was stunned for a moment, her three-inch tongue curled up, and she immediately understood. Her originally charming face became even more beautiful, and her pair of almond-shaped eyes were full of moisture.

What do you mean by careless? It's just that the young man is full of blood and energy, and it's overflowing.

Shui Rong chuckled and immediately took back the handkerchief, as it was no longer needed at the moment.

After they finished tidying up, the two men went to the compartment, lifted the curtain and went in, only to see a beautiful woman sitting in front of a desk.

"Sister, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Du Yuejiao walked forward and greeted him with a smile, and Shui Rong also saw clearly this famous courtesan in the capital. She had a head of black hair tied up with pearls and jade, a jade hairpin inserted diagonally in her temples, and was dressed in a rose-purple Liuxian dress. She had red lips and white teeth, and she was radiant with color. Her dignified appearance revealed an indescribable sense of charm, and her starry eyes were twinkling with starlight, and were a bit cold, as if revealing an indifference that kept people at a distance.

Two completely different temperaments merged into one, if nothing else, the visual impact is unique, no wonder the other party can become the oiran.

Yi Nianhong looked at the beautiful sister in front of her, and a faint, imperceptible blush appeared on her delicate face. Before, outside the house, she heard the indescribable sweet humming sound. Being in a place full of worldly affairs, how could she not know the reason even if she was dressed in pure white?

After exchanging pleasantries, Yi Nianhong, under the introduction of Du Yuejiao, came to Shui Rong. She bowed gracefully and said in a clear voice, "I greet you, sir."

The voice is charming in its tenderness, seductive in its softness, like the cry of a kite and the cry of a phoenix.

Shui Rong nodded slightly and greeted her, "Young lady, you are Yue Jiao's sister. There is no need to be so formal."

When Yi Nianhong heard this, her slender willow-leaf eyes moved slightly. From these words, she could feel that the young man in front of her had no prejudice against her sister. No wonder her sister praised him so much.

After a light response, several people sat down.
