1389 Interlude
Needless to say, the identity of another middle-aged man is now the current King of Yan Ye Qing. After being ignored by several wives in the mansion, Ye Qing subconsciously ran to Zhao Shichun's mansion because of Zhao Kuo's marriage, trying to find out whether Zhao Shichun now has the intention to make a family with him.
Whether it is the shopkeeper of Jinfeng Tower or the madam, he is still familiar with King Zhao Shichun of Wu. After all, the Zhao Song royal family is already small, and in the past few decades since the Jiangnan region, although it has grown a lot, it is probably a lot worse than the ones that are now, as they were.
In addition, King Zhao Shichun of Wu was a very prestigious royal family, and he had visited many places of elegance in Yanjing City, so the Golden Phoenix Tower is still a dizzy building. In fact, Zhao Shichun has visited many places. In this way, his identity was naturally known to some people.
Every time Zhao Shichun comes to Jinfeng Tower, the shopkeeper and the madam will respectfully welcome him in front of the door. Every time he greets him in front of the door, Zhao Shichun is surrounded by several people and walks in a high spirit.
But this is not the case today. King Zhao Shichun of Wu was actually one position behind another middle-aged man. Moreover, from Zhao Shichun's posture and gaze when he came over, it can be clearly seen that the middle-aged man walking in front was obviously the leader among the two of them.
"Sir, please..." The eyes of the shopkeeper and the madam were so vicious, but how could he not see the clues in just a few steps? So the shopkeeper, along with the madam and other friends, hurriedly bent down and asked Ye Qing with his back.
Zhao Shichun looked at the shopkeeper who respectfully bowed to Ye Qing and invited him, so naturally he would not take the shopkeeper's ignorance seriously. Instead, he smiled and hurriedly walked side by side with Ye Qing and said, "Prepare the best private room."
The shopkeeper turned his head and looked at Zhao Shichun and hurriedly responded, and quickly signaled the madam to arrange the girls and private rooms in the building, while he led the two of them to the Jinfeng Tower in front.
When Ye Qing and Zhao Shichun entered the Jinfeng Tower, the rookie Ye Wuque and Tuo Lei, who also saw the world for the first time, had already started to select girls among the flowers. Each of them was dressed in thin clothes and dressed in a variety of charm. The shiny girl made Ye Wuque feel a little embarrassed, while Tuo Lei felt like he fell into the flowers, and for a moment he felt that his eyes were not enough.
He could not have thought that there would be so many beautiful women in a brothel in Yanjing City, and no matter which one he looked at, it seemed that his mind would be swaying.
Ye Wuque, who was still holding the Tang Book on the back of his head, gave the two girls a little embarrassedly. One of the two girls immediately showed an excited expression on his face, and the other one looked a little surprised, obviously he did not expect that he would be left behind.
However, since the guest had asked them to stay, they obediently stayed to accompany the guest. However, in this way, the others who had already agreed could not be with them.
Tuo Lei's eyes were as fierce as a wolf, staring at the woman who was twisting the water snake's waist and walking towards him. The slightly reluctant woman walked quietly to Ye Wuque and sat down. He took the wine pot and poured wine for Ye Wuque.
At this point, the woman noticed that the handsome young man who looked a little embarrassed in front of her actually had a book on the back of her neck.
However, it seems that I have drunk a lot of wine. Although it is a bit embarrassing because it is my first time to come to this place, my behavior is quite calm and generous. Compared with other peers who come here to seek freshness and excitement, the woman feels quite good.
The other one, like a wild boy, seemed much more barbaric and domineering. After the woman smiled and sat down, the boy couldn't wait to hug the woman's waist, which made the woman laugh and resist with shame.
The woman's desire and shame made Tuole's heart tremble, and she couldn't help but lean her body towards the woman. Although the woman seemed a little hard to deal with experienced guests, she was more than enough to deal with the wild rookie in front of her. She laughed and filled the two wine glasses on the table with no sound. Then she forced herself to hold back the force from her waist and handed the wine glass to Tuole.
Tuole was obviously stunned. When he looked at the seductive red lips slightly opened and his charming eyes under the light, he unconsciously let go of the woman's waist, slowly took the wine glass in his hand, and then clinked the glass with the woman.
Ye Wuque, who was standing beside him, wanted to imitate Tuo Lei, but the woman next to him obviously did not have the intention of being enthusiastic to cater to him. She just sat quietly next to him, which made Ye Wuque feel a little hesitant for a while, so she seemed a little hesitant.
However, the woman obviously noticed the rookie's intention and asked first, "Is this the first time I'm here in Jinfeng Tower?"
"That's right." Ye Wuque said subconsciously.
The girl smiled sweetly and poured wine for Ye Wuque again. With the first conversation, there were various questions and answers next, but it was obvious that compared to Tolei's domineeringness that made it difficult for the woman to deal with, Ye Wuque seemed extremely harmonious.
Zhao Shichun and Ye Qing came to the largest private room on the second floor. Not far away, four or five women wearing tulle were scattered in the corner, playing in a very low voice, so that the music flowing under their fingers would not disturb the guests' conversation.
Zhao Shichun obviously had a familiar woman here, and even helped Ye Qing advise another woman to accompany him. During the whole process, the shopkeeper of Jinfeng Tower was waiting at the door of the private room, and everything was busy with the extremely skilled madam.
As Zhao Shichun waved his hand and signaled, the shopkeeper and the madam who left the door of the private room were talking quietly about Ye Qing's identity at the stairs.
"You can actually let the King of Wu be your companion. This person's identity is not simple." At this time, the shopkeeper seemed to dare to breathe.
"Yes, there are not many people who can be accompanied by the King of Wu in the entire Yanjing. Who will this person be?" The madam also replied in a low voice.
The shopkeeper shook his head and murmured, "No matter who it is, you have to be careful to serve tonight. You must not make any mistakes. You must satisfy everyone. Our signboard cannot be easily smashed."
The madam nodded, and she understood the thoughts of the shopkeeper. Now, it seems that only Jinfeng Tower and Xiyu Tower are running side by side in Yanjing City, but some other brothels are also quite popular at this time, and they are very interested in competing with them and bringing some famous and famous officials and nobles to them.
Of course, the madam knows her heart
Ming, if you want to catch up with the two brothels in Lin'an's Jinfeng Xiyu Building for a while, you may have to work harder for the rest of the brothels. After all, it is easy to build a brothel, but it is not so easy to train a well-educated and kind daughter. Even these are not something you can easily train with just spending money.
So the madam still has this confidence. In the short time, except for Xiyulou, it is probably difficult for other brothels to train some lovely people who make guests feel at home in a short time.
After all, many of the women in their brothels were trained by her, and some of them were brought from the distant water town of Jiangnan. These women are deeply loved by guests, and many times, there will be a woman being bid by several guests to compete for her.
When I thought of the madam here, for some reason, I suddenly thought of the two boys whom she came in specially today. It was obvious that they were the first time they came to the brothel.
Now, after adapting to the environment and atmosphere of the brothel, the two teenagers have gradually become more calm and natural, and the topics and attention have gradually shifted from the woman to the topics they are interested in.
Just as men have different preferences for women, the guests who come to brothels also have various identities and classes. But no matter what, in addition to romantic and ideals, some literati also like to talk about military and national affairs under the admiration of women, so there are countless people who attract women's favor.
Therefore, many women in brothels not only know how to recite poems and essays, but also have some military and national affairs. Especially when they encounter the high-profile talks of some literati and famous people, they often listen to their ears and digest them after some digestion, and their opinions when they talk to other guests.
In short, the women in the brothel are very good at chess, calligraphy, painting, chanting poems and essays, but they are also a little involved in military and national affairs, but now the topics of the two teenagers are completely beyond their scope.
Although it was also a military and national event, the military and national event that the two young men mentioned was completely different from the military and national event they heard other guests talk about.
Because no guest would talk about military and national affairs like family matters, especially the tone and attitude of the two, which was exactly like the state affairs between Song and Meng, and the family affairs of them. For example, between words and conversations, they could decide the relationship between Mongolia and Song.
The two women looked at each other secretly and realized the incredible and funny things about the two teenagers in front of them. In their eyes, the two teenagers simply wanted to show their views on major national affairs in front of them, but obviously they used their strength in the wrong place, and did not mention some of the internal and external troubles of the Song court, nor did they mention the strength and desolation of Mongolia. Therefore, listening to the conversation between the two teenagers made the two women feel ridiculous and childish.
Especially the handsome young man, he had a book of Tang on the back of his neck. At this time, he started with the book of Tang as an argument. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong Li Shimin was respected as the Khan of the Khan, and now Mongolia can follow this imitation.
What surprised the two women even more, and even ridiculously was that the boy who looked wild and had not yet eliminated, and looked like a boy who came to Yanjing from the grassland, actually seriously thought about the handsome boy's proposal.
"You mean...incorporating the Great Mongolian Kingdom into the territory of the Song Dynasty?" Torei asked with a frown.
"What's wrong? Meng and Song are family. Although they have gathered and dispersed for thousands of years, it is undeniable that there is indeed an inseparable connection between the grassland and the Central Plains. Even if there are vast mountains outside Yanjing City, you must know that it is the Central Plains that have taken over the rear of the grassland for thousands of years, so that nomadic peoples can gallop freely between the world." Ye Wuque seemed very confident when talking about these things, and even there were some shadows of Ye Qing between his eyebrows.
Holding up the wine glass and drinking it all. While Tolei continued to ponder, Ye Wuque continued: "Yes, Gobi, Snow Mountain, and Grassland can give birth to a powerful nation, but without this thick soil in the Central Plains as support, relying solely on Gobi, Snow Mountain, and Grassland are like rootless trees, which are difficult to evolve and develop at all. And more importantly, poverty and war will never be escaped. Yes, for thousands of years, the war between the Central Plains and the Grassland has never stopped, it seems that it is because
Because of these wars, the relationship between the Central Plains and the grassland is inseparable, and even blood is thicker than water. Without the Central Plains, if the grassland is adjacent to the vast sea, it will pass without external troubles. But... can you still see the prosperous times today? Can you imagine that one day, the grassland will also have huge cities no less than Yanjing City? Obviously it is impossible. So in my opinion, instead of fighting with the sky alone and fighting with the earth, it is better to join forces with the Song Ting to conquer the heavens together!"
"Man conquers nature?" Tuole asked subconsciously.
Ye Wuque nodded seriously: "This is what my father said. When he said that man conquers nature, I believe that man conquers nature."
"The court will not give us what we want, nor can we give them whatever the court wants. Everything depends on us begging, right? So I think... in this way, it is not as easy as we snatch it." Tolei thought for a while and changed the subject.
"Not all, this is the time, and now the Song court is strong. Although the Great Mongolian Kingdom is quite strong, it will be pale in comparison with the Song court. Do you know that once the war begins, the grassland will become poorer. What else can you stop it?" Ye Wuque smiled and said with a slight nerd at this moment. He said confidently: "You said your father just asked you to come to Yanjing City and visit my father by the way. But after thinking about it, I felt that... your father's no conditions and purpose are just the purpose and conditions." u2028 "What conditions? What purpose?" Tuo Lei asked.
The woman next to the two was confused at this time. They had always had little understanding of what they said, and they were even more confused. Who were they talking about the conditions and purposes? Could it be that their father could be the masters of Song and Mongolia?
"Young Master, are you talking about the conditions and purposes you mentioned? "The beauty sitting next to Tolei, who was originally on her red lips had been transferred to Tolei's mouth at some point, especially her clothes seemed extremely messy, and her whole body was almost searched by Tolei who had just looked like a wolf and a tiger.
"Of course, we are discussing with the court." Ye Wuque replied.
Looking at Ye Wuque's serious expression, the two women looked at each other again and saw a smile that could not be held in each other's eyes.
They were obviously puzzled, a small
The young man, where did he come from such a tone? He dared to be so serious and discuss the topic of how the court should do it seriously. Haven’t they ever thought that the court would not pay any attention to them at all? What they said... is completely nonsense?
"Does the young master think this suggestion from Song Ting... and the Mongolians will hear it? Do they think what the young master said... is reasonable?" The woman next to Ye Wuque finally couldn't help but say.
The two women obviously would not believe what the young man they accompanied, nor would they believe that their words and choices could determine the fate of the Song court and Mongolia.
After all, no one would believe that including the powerful Mongolian country in the territory of the Song court would be like the plays of these two young men, like playing house.
But what made the woman a little dumbfounded was that Ye Wuque had actually looked at his companion after thinking for a while and said solemnly: "I think this is the only way to stop the killing."
"Do you think we Mongols will definitely lose?" Tuole asked with his eyebrows raised, his eyes also becoming sharp.
"If you are stronger than us, your father will probably not let you come to Yanjing alone." Ye Wuque, the nerdy Ye Wuque, didn't care at all about Tuo Lei's doubts and vague anger. He only cared about what the truth was.
Seeing that Tolei was still staring at him, Ye Wuque continued to state the facts and said, "Your elder brother, second brother, third brother, who do you think they are willing to surrender? What happened since the New Year can actually explain the seriousness of the problem. At that time, aren't you afraid that your three brothers will be unfavorable to you after your father's death? You are so young and have no strength, so just take you..."
"Brother may harm me, but second and third brother..." Tolei frowned and said.
"Hehe, it's actually similar. At that time, you have no place to go except to Yanjing. So..." Ye Wuque smiled mysteriously and said, "I think your father asked you to come to Yanjing at this time not to broaden your horizons and see how prosperous my Song Dynasty is, but to make you seek the protection of my father. In this way, you may save your life..."
Just as the two of them were discussing the major affairs of the country and the two women were stunned, the door of the fairy room was suddenly kicked open by a drunken man. Behind the drunken man, there were several fierce thugs, who were looking at the four people in the room fiercely.
Ye Wuque and Tuo Lei frowned and looked up, while the two women beside him were frightened and screamed. Then the woman next to Ye Wuque showed a panic and slowly stood up, looking at the drunken man staggering towards her.
"Young Master Li..." The woman saluted with a trembling tone.
The man named Mr. Li had a red cheek with a grin. After glanced at the woman, he turned his eyes to Ye Wuque and Tuolei, and said vaguely: "I want to see who has the courage to compete with me. Don't you know... he is the one who is going to be included in the mansion?"
Mr. Li said as he slowly walked to the opposite side of Ye Wuque, with his eyes that looked red because of being drunk, staring at Ye Wuque tightly.
Tuo Lei frowned with some concern, looked at the four men who looked like thugs who followed the man in, and then looked at Ye Wuque, who was extremely calm at this moment.
"Since you want to pick her up to your mansion, why do you have to let her stay here? There must be someone who comes first and then arrive in everything?" Ye Wuque asked with a hint of innocent expression.
"Why, do you want to compete with me?" Mr. Li pressed his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and wanted to use his condescending posture to put pressure on Ye Wuque.
But the nerd Ye Wuque didn't care about this so-called pressure at all, let alone the drunken young master Li in front of him. Even his father Ye Qing sometimes scolded him with a calm face. He always looked like he didn't care at all.
"Are you robbing her from you? I'm not interested. I'm just here to have fun today." Ye Wuque glanced at the woman who was a little nervous next to him, speaking as usual, and didn't care about anyone's feelings at all.
"Then do you want her to accompany you tonight?" Mr. Li raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Is it related to my interest in her? Could it be that I can't choose her? Since it's the girl from Jinfeng Tower, then I can choose whoever I want? Of course, if you like it, then you can come here earlier, so why should you come here and steal people now? Such a fierce attitude wouldn't it disturb our good mood?" Ye Wuque said as if nothing had happened. He didn't care about the vicious men at the door.
Moreover, when I was visiting Yanjing City or having dinner with Tuolei, when I saw some weak scholars, Tuolei always said how powerful the warriors on the grassland were. Even when he was proud, he would also say that he competed with his father's Qiexue Army, such as he could deal with several Qiexue Army soldiers alone, etc.
What Tolei said was somewhat boasting, but the nerd Ye Wuque believed it. After all, he had only read intrigues in books, and none of the people in the palace dared to tell lies in front of him.
So at this time, Ye Wuque, because Tuo Lei was around, naturally seemed very confident and didn't care about the fierce and evil khan at all.
But obviously, this drunk Mr. Li is more confident than Ye Wuque. After all, in addition to his identity, there are several thugs behind him, and he is facing two young boys. He will not believe that he can't even deal with two boys.
Just as the confrontation began in the private room, the sword was tense, the clerk of Jinfenglou hurriedly reported to the madam that Mr. Li had broken into other people's private room and wanted to steal the woman named Hua Niang.
The madam who heard the news was shocked. Since the New Year's Day, the Hua Niang has only been with Mr. Li almost every day, so it can be seen that Mr. Li is very fond of this Hua Niang, and the Hua Niang is obviously interested in Mr. Li, but for some reason, Mr. Li, who has been clamoring to redeem her for the Hua Niang, has not redeem her for the Hua Niang.
So during these days, the guests who often come to Jinfenglou know that the flower girl has almost been occupied by Mr. Li, so other customers will not easily find the flower girl. But today the two young rookies who brought in personally actually ordered the flower girl.
"What's wrong..." the madam asked nervously.
Chapter completed!
