The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Li Yang was proud, the bidders were fierce at first, but then slowly subsided, just because the price was no longer affordable by ordinary wealthy people. Peony smiled and watched the money increase bit by bit.

In the end, there were only two people bidding. One of them is the servant next to Li Yang, while the other is a big and three rough guy.

Li Yang beckoned the boy back to his side, seeing that the price had reached three thousand taels of gold, he stretched out four fingers lazily: "Four thousand taels."

The five-year-old man retreated behind Jiang Chao, and said in a low voice, "Master, that guy is clearly provocative."

Jiang Chao felt depressed and indignant. Originally, he was determined to get the peony today. Although he was already drunk, he vaguely knew that four thousand taels of gold was not a small sum. He doesn't have that much silver at all. Hearing what Daniel said, that person was provocative, and Liu Min's haughty and disdainful eyes appeared in front of Jiang Chao's eyes again. He gritted his teeth: "Five thousand taels!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around was shocked. In the whole world, there is no price tag of five thousand taels of gold for a famous prostitute. Li Dong snorted, and looked at Jiang Chao earnestly. Seeing that although Jiang Chao was dressed in expensive clothes, he couldn't compare to him. He was sure that the other party was slapping his face to make him fat, so he waved his hand indifferently: "Six thousand taels."

"Seven thousand taels." Jiang Chao gritted his teeth. When I looked at Li Yang again, I just felt that the person sitting on that seat had changed, and it was the number one scholar who rode his horse through the streets today and was proud of his spring breeze. There is only one thought in my heart, if I compare, I must compare him.

"Eight thousand taels." Li Yang said angrily.

"Nine thousand taels!" Jiang Chao smashed a teacup.

Li Yang was extremely angry in his heart, and he also saw that this person was deliberately against him. He said: "Add another dendrobium pearl."

Jiang Chao saw that he was no longer just called gold, and then looked at the wine cup in front of him, and suddenly he was more than half sober. He couldn't get out nine thousand taels of gold no matter what. Not only that, if Jiang Quan found out about this, he would have to beat him until he couldn't get out of bed. But now that everyone is watching, is it necessary to abstain in such a desperate way? At this moment, he has been aroused by Li Yang to be competitive, and his actions are always faster than reason. He looked up, just in time to see Peony on the second floor looking at him. Those eyes were full of smiles, as if they were gentle encouragement, but also like silent ridicule. His heart fluttered, and he said proudly, "Ten thousand taels!"

There was no more sound around.

Everyone looked at him like a fool, but Jiang Chao only stared at Li Yang. In his eyes, Li Yang was the distraught Liu Min at the moment, and he had nothing to do with him.

Although Li Yang is a playboy, he is well versed in the rules of the Land of Fireworks. Although beauties are good, 10,000 taels is too expensive, and 10,000 taels can already buy a lot of young orchids with clean bodies. After much deliberation, it is really not worthwhile. Although he was angry in his heart, he still smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then the young master is not too popular, Miss Mudan, I'm sorry." After saying that, he cupped his hands and turned around to leave. However, when he walked to the door, he couldn't calm down after all. With a pair of vicious eyes, he told the boy next to him: "Check out the man just now, young master! Robbing a woman from me will make him regret it for the rest of his life!"

After Li Yang left, Mudan laughed lightly: "Young Master is willing to spend a lot of money for Mudan, Mudan is really touched. Please send the bank note to my mother downstairs, so please come to Mudan's boudoir for a little gathering."

Bank note? Jiang Chao came to his senses suddenly, and looking at Mudan's gentle blue eyes, for some reason, he broke out in a cold sweat. He naturally knew that he had no extra money to pay Mudan, but Baihualou was not completely helpless in Beijing, so what would happen if there was a disturbance.

At this moment, the big-bodied little servant next to him said, "My young master is too hasty to go out today, and he didn't bring any money."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter. The first night when I came here to buy peonies, but I didn't bring any money, so I laughed out loud when I said it.

Mudan looked at him with great interest: "But Baihualou doesn't have credit rules, why don't you get the money first, then we can talk about it?"

The teasing of these words made Jiang Chao furious. He had no taboos when he drank alcohol, but when he saw Mudan's face full of sarcasm, he jumped up and cursed: "It's just a bitch who deals in flesh and blood! See how money is open!" , and said that he loves a talented person, hypocritical! Slut!"

Mudan's complexion changed, and a group of guards with knives and sticks suddenly poured out around her. Mudan socialized a lot on weekdays, and dignitaries were willing to sell her face. Some of these guards were sent by nobles to protect Peony. Surrounding Jiang Chao tightly at this moment, Mudan said indifferently: "It seems that the son is here to make trouble, or is he trying to take advantage of the trouble to renege on his debt? Baihualou treats repudiating guests according to the old rules," she nodded her chin as a sign In the past: "Do you want to keep your left hand or your right hand?"

Jiang Chao was startled, and was about to rush up immediately, cursing, "I'll kill you bitch!"

The guards were not willing to let him, and subdued him to the ground a few times. Upon seeing this, Daniel panicked and said, "Miss, you're so precious! My young master doesn't want to renege on the debt, so I invite you to go to Jiang's mansion in the capital. My young master is the second son of Jiang Shangshu's mansion. You can take the young master's token to get the money."

The people around were talking again, Jiang Shangshu's family style was upright, but he didn't expect that the son he gave birth to was such a rascal. Everyone couldn't help but think of the rumors about Jiang Susu during the Lantern Festival a few days ago, and they really knew what people knew but didn't know what they knew.

Peony's eyes rolled: "In this case, Mom, please take some people to Jiang's mansion, and everyone present, please be a witness with me, this young master Jiang spent 10,000 taels of peony here tonight. When Young Master Jiang brings the silver, Mudan will naturally have a long talk with Young Master Jiang all night long." After finishing speaking, she couldn't bear to look at Jiang Chao anymore, and walked away.

Although Mudan is a brothel girl in Beijing, she has a lot of influence and influence, and knows many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and how many people want to sell her face. Therefore, he really didn't take Jiang Chao's status seriously.

...

At night, Jiang Ruan closed the book and prepared to rest, when she faintly heard crying outside. She rubbed her forehead: "What's the matter?"

Zisu got up and brought her hot water: "I don't know, it's just like this, Luzhu has already gone out to inquire."

Just as she was talking, Luzhu had slipped into the room, saw Jiang Ruan and Zisu looking at her, and said, "It seems that someone from Baihualou said that the second young master owed money."

"The money you asked for came to the government." Zisu couldn't hide the disdain in her words, and finally there was a resistance in her heart to a place like Baihualou.

"The madam and the master quarreled violently." Luzhu smiled slyly, "The madam wanted to redeem the second young master with silver, but the master said that he didn't have that much money. The madam cried and quarreled with the master."

Jiang Ruan smiled: "Madam really blamed him." It is true that there is no ten thousand taels of gold in Jiang's mansion. The mansion looks magnificent, but in the end it is just an empty shell. What's more, a few days ago, for Jiang Chao's scientific examination to manage Mr. Zhao, the Jiang family paid a large sum of money. Although it was in vain in the end, the money was actually spent.
