" Hua…" As Tongtong finished her dance performance, the crowd below the stage began to clap thunderously. Amidst the applause, a middle-aged woman walked onto the stage. This woman was actually quite good-looking, and her figure was also very good. This was because she was the previous Courtesan Belle, and the current mother here, oh, she was called Aunt here. Her surname was Xue, and everyone here called her Aunt Xue.
Naturally, she was here to explain the situation. Today was Tongtong's big day, just like how the auctioneer would introduce the goods and raise the price before the auction.
Although it was sad, this was their reality.
" Next, our Miss Tongtong will play a song. If you are interested, you can bid before the song is finished. Although it sounds a little unscrupulous, the highest bidder wins…" After introducing how good Tongtong was, how good she was at the four arts, how she had a good figure, and how she danced beautifully, this Aunt Xue also entered the main topic and started talking directly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Tongtong walked to a zither and played a tune.
Xiao Rui actually didn't know anything about zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting. Other than chess, he basically only knew how to read books. This was because he had specially practiced for the Juren examination. He had opened nine out of ten acupores in zither and painting…he knew nothing about them.
But even so, he could hear the sorrow and sorrow in this woman's music.
But thinking about it, it was understandable. After all, this woman used to be a young lady of an official family. In the end, she had fallen to this point. It would be strange if she did not feel sad.
However, the guests who came here did not care about this. As the zither music started, the constant bidding sounds were already heard. The starting price of 50 taels of silver had also increased to 200 taels of silver.
The person who called out the number 200 taels was from a private room on the second floor. At this moment, he had already walked to the outer stage of the private room. This was a young man who looked to be around 25 or 26 years old.
Two hundred taels of silver for a girl's first night was already very expensive in today's society. One had to know that two hundred taels of silver was enough for a family of five to live for a lifetime.
If they went to some difficult places, they could buy a girl for only ten or eight taels. Two hundred taels was really not a small sum of money, so the others were a little hesitant.
After the 200 taels of silver, the young man was already full of himself and regarded Tongtong on the stage as his own.
At this moment, Tongtong, who was on the stage, also saw the young master. At the same time, she lowered her head. It was obvious that the two of them had long been in cahoots…
"One thousand taels!" However, just as the people around were about to compliment this young man, a light voice came from the first floor.
In an instant, everyone looked at Xiao Rui, who was hugging two girls with a bright face. After seeing Xiao Rui, the others 'expressions were not very good.
"Aunt Xue, can you quote randomly here?”Especially the young man who was originally determined to get it, he couldn't help but say to the brothel keeper, Aunt Xue.
However, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Rui, who was below, naturally heard him. He casually took out a large stack of banknotes from his clothes. Each of them was worth 1,000 taels of silver. This stack of banknotes must have at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even 100,000 taels of silver.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the entire building instantly fell silent.
" I'm Yan Junbin, and I've known Miss Tongtong for a long time. I hope that everyone will be magnanimous…" The young master upstairs looked at the wad of money with an ugly expression and said.
"Get lost if you don't have money. Is this a place for beggars?”However, before he could finish his words, Xiao Rui had already interrupted him and said directly.
Hearing his words, everyone in the building could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"You, you dare to insult me?" Hearing Xiao Rui's words, Yan Junbin's face turned especially ugly as he said fiercely. At the same time, a few burly men with fierce faces appeared beside him.
"Yan Junbin is the son of the Inspector General, Yan Peiwei. Yan Peiwei is also considered to be skilled in both literature and martial arts. He is the successor of the Jindao School and later passed the Jinshi examination.”Hearing this, Jiang Jiayuan came over and smiled at Xiao Rui.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hongyi had already thrown the wine glass to the second floor. Yan Junbin's expression changed drastically when he saw the wine glass flying towards him. He did not dare to think that these people would dare to make a move. A burly man behind him took a step forward when he saw the wine glass flying towards him. He swung his fist and smashed the wine glass with a bang. However, he was also shaken back. At the same time, everyone's expressions changed.
Although Li Hongyi, Jiang Jiayuan, and Wu Dexing were not experts, they were still second-rate experts. Not to mention these scumbags, it would be good if Yan Peiwei could even be a third-rate expert. Experts in the eyes of outsiders were nothing in their eyes…
However, this guy was really a hammer. Seeing Li Hongyi easily send that person flying, his expression changed drastically. He immediately wanted to let his men go down and teach Xiao Rui and the others a lesson.
But at this moment, a group of Brocade Guards walked over from afar…
" Your Excellency…" When he came to Xiao Rui's side, the Jinyiwei Chief Flag immediately asked Xiao Rui respectfully. Xiao Rui looked at him and he knew this person, Shen Lian…
Ever since Xiao Rui took down Prince Ning, he had also informed Qing Long, the commander of the Jinyiwei, that Shen Lian's achievements were not as good as the Prime Minister's. However, he had killed his colleague, so he was demoted to the Chief Flag. On the other hand, Pei Lun was promoted to the position of Deputy Thousand Households of the South Town's Fu Division.
" Let's go..." Looking at the respectful manner of the Jinyiwei to Xiao Rui and the others, Yan Junbin, who was on the second floor with a gloomy face, knew that he was doomed today.
It was impossible for him to have tens of thousands of taels in terms of money. He could not compete with Xiao Rui. In terms of power, it seemed that after Xiao Rui and the others knew his identity, they still disdained him. In addition, the Jinyiwei's attitude towards them at this time made this person understand that whether it was money or power, he could not do it.
However, after giving Xiao Rui a hateful look, he turned around and left with his men. When Xiao Rui saw him leave, he curled his lips and shouted loudly. When he opened his mouth, he couldn't do it. He was really a coward...
"Alright, there's nothing for you to do here. Do your job well.”Xiao Rui turned around and looked at Shen Lian. He smiled and said calmly.
After hearing Xiao Rui's words, Shen Lian immediately lowered his head respectfully and left with his men. Due to the unforeseen circumstances, Zhou Miaodan had already stopped playing the zither on the stage. Xiao Rui glanced at her and waved at Aunt Xue who was far away.
"I want to redeem her. Name a price!”
