It was already evening when they arrived in Tokyo, and the city was already filled with lanterns.
Compared to Qinghe County, Tokyo was already extremely prosperous, with a population of a million. There were rows of inns and restaurants, and the Grand Preceptor's Residence was located in the middle of the bustling city.
The entrance of the Grand Preceptor's Residence was heavily guarded, and soldiers carrying gleaming sabers, spears, swords, and halberds patrolled back and forth. After Ximen Qiao submitted his name card, the gatekeeper came out to welcome him warmly.
Cai Jing was in the manor and was very happy when he heard that Ximen Qing had come to visit. He was the most satisfied with this godson of his. He immediately gave the order that a banquet would be held tonight to entertain Ximen Qing.
Ximen Qiao followed the etiquette of a godson and knelt down to this controversial figure in history. Cai Jing was a talented person who had been prime minister five times and was also a capable general of Wang Anshi's reform. Of course, he was also a corrupt official and was known as the leader of the six thieves of the Song Dynasty.
Cai Jing, who was sitting on the armchair, walked down and helped Ximen Qiao up. After examining him for a while, he kept saying that Ximen Qiao looked like him when he was young.
After dinner, Ximen Qiao sat down and recounted how Chen Wenshuang had pawned the brothel to save his father.
Cai Jing pondered for a moment and said," This matter is easy to handle. Father will go and talk to His Majesty. As for the brothel and fertile land that he has pledged to you, my son can take them. He was originally a sinner, and it is already a great kindness for him to save his family.”
Ximen Qiao was overjoyed when he heard that. It was really a fortune that fell from the sky.
. "Thank you, godfather!"
"My son, you don't have to be so polite. It's rare for you to come to Tokyo. You can go out and take a walk tonight. Tomorrow, I'll call a few people who you might need in the future to have a drink with you.”Cai Jing said.
Ximen Qiao threw the Mind-Reading Spell over.
Cai Jing: " I've already helped you transfer Chen Wenshuang and his family's assets to you. Why don't you hurry up and do what you should be doing? I'm going to have fun with my new concubine."”
Ximen Qiao hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying that he wanted to go to the streets to see the bustling Tokyo.
Ximen Qiao had a hundred thousand strings of silver in his pocket. He brought two servants to the streets and began to stroll around. In a short while, they arrived at a magnificent brothel.
The brothel madame came out with a smile on her face. Seeing that he was dressed luxuriously, he must be either rich or noble. She hurriedly brought Ximen Qiao to a luxurious private room.
"Young Master, are there any familiar ladies? If there is, I will call it for you. If it is your first time here, tell me what flavor you want, and I guarantee that I will find it for you.”The brothel keeper said with a face full of spring breeze.
"This Young Master's taste is very simple, I only want the best!”Ximen Qiao said loudly.
The brothel madame's face was troubled when she heard this. She said," Young Master, the top lady here is not so easily invited. In fact, Miss Li's ticket appointment is already on the fifteenth of next month. If you have the intention, you have to pay a deposit of 500 taels of silver first. I'll set a date for you."”
A deposit of five hundred taels of silver for a meeting? How much would it cost to sleep? Ximen Qiao thought that this was too expensive. What kind of golden branches and jade leaves were so expensive?
"This young master wants to see your top lady, Miss Li. Here are five thousand silver notes.”Ximen Qiao took out a banknote from his pocket.
The brothel madame immediately beamed with joy and trotted away with the silver notes.
After a while, he ran over and said," Young Master, you are really lucky. Miss Li has agreed to talk to you about romance, poetry, and stringed bamboo in two hours."”
Just this? Five thousand taels? There was even a time limit of two hours. Damn it, wasn't this just robbery? How much would it cost to do it? Ximen Qiao's heart ached for the five thousand taels of silver. Five thousand taels of silver was enough to buy a few women in Lion Restaurant to be his concubines.
"Madam, lead the way. This young master will go and meet her now.”Ximen Qiao decided to spend 5,000 taels to see how beautiful she was.
"Yes, Young Master. Be careful of the steps as you walk upstairs.”
This was a very large room. Ximen Qiao was still in front of the door when he heard the sound of a lute coming from inside. A woman was singing in a melodious voice.
When he opened the door, he was stunned. His first reaction was one word: worth it! How could there be such a beauty in the world!
She had a peach blossom face, jade-like skin, a willowy waist, and a phoenix bun. Ximen Qiao really couldn't think of any words to describe her, so he just stood there in a daze.
"Young Master, come in. Why are you standing outside?”The woman giggled and stopped playing the music.
Only then did Ximen Qiao come back to his senses. He opened his golden folding fan and walked over. He bowed." I'm Ximen Qing. I've long heard of your name. Now that I've seen you today, it's true that meeting you in person is better than hearing about you in person."”
"Young Master is too polite. Do you know my name? I have seen you before, but it has been blurred. Young Master is indeed handsome and handsome.”
"Miss must be Li Shishi!”Ximen Qiao only knew the most famous prostitute in the Song Dynasty, so he made a wild guess.
"Young Master is so nimble. I am Teacher Li.”Li Shishi also looked at Ximen Qiao with a dazed expression.
Ximen Qiao cast the Mind Reading spell.
"Who is this Ximen Qing?" I know most of the hedonistic sons in the capital. It's my first time seeing a young master who's so generous and shockingly handsome. My heart is beating fast.”
