"There, there! Don't dare to be, don't dare to be ......" Guo Renjie's rare old face turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand and modestly excused himself, and then couldn't help but look at Shi Yuan curiously: "But...... Brother Shi, what are you asking for? ”

Glancing at the Qinglou women who were pulling and pulling not far away, Shi Yuan smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just a little curious...... There are so many green buildings in Jinling City, is there no one in charge of the officials? ”

"Tube? Why bother? Do you know how much tax money these green houses have to pay a year? Guo Renjie said hello to a girl next to him.

"But...... The number of green buildings is a bit too much, right? This...... It's always a little too immoral, isn't it? Brother Shi tried hard to get rid of a woman with heavy makeup, and asked at the same time.

"Alas...... It can't be helped! Originally, this Qinglou was controlled by the government according to the rules, but because of the war with Beiqing a few years ago, the treasury was emptied back and forth, and the people were not able to make a living...... Now that the saint has no choice, he stopped the war, but someone has to make up for the money owed, right? ”

When Guo Renjie said this, he sighed slightly, and then continued: "In recent years, the taxes in various places have become heavier and heavier, and we merchants who do business don't know how many times the taxes and silver paid have risen...... And these brothels in Qinglou, which have the fastest money, the attitude of the officials is naturally to turn one eye open and close one eye, only if they are willing to pay the money, they don't need any formalities......"

"Oh? According to what Brother Guo said, the emperor of Nanqing did not give up his plan to conquer Beiqing! ”

"Who knows? However, looking at it this way, it should be about the same...... I don't know how many days of peace I have to live......" Speaking of this topic, even Guo Renjie, who usually giggles, couldn't help but be full of emotion for a while.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, I'll go to Fenglai Tower in front!" Finding that he seemed to be a little disappointed, Guo Renjie hurriedly shook his head, and once again returned to his previous heartless, grinning appearance, pointing to the Fenglai Building in front of him, and said with an expectant expression.

"Speaking of which, my old Guo hasn't been to this Fenglai Building for a few days! Hehe...... "Looking at the brightly lit Fenglai Tower, Guo Renjie didn't know what he remembered, and the smile on his face was a little obscene.

And Shi Yuan only woke up from Fang Cai's thoughts at this time. Listening to Guo Renjie's words, I followed his eyes, but saw an extremely bright attic not far away, and the lights were in full bloom at this time...... Although there is still a distance away, you can already hear the singing and dancing in the attic, and the sound of warblers and swallows.

"Brother Shi, don't you want to tell me, why did you come to this Fenglai Building?"

Shi Yuan nodded, and was about to raise his feet forward, but Guo Renjie, who was beside him, asked the previous question again with a smile on his face.

"I'm here to find Miss Shen!" Brother Shi shook his head helplessly, but still opened his mouth to respond.

"Nonsense! Look at what you have in your hand...... Guitar, of course I also know that you are here to find Miss Shen, otherwise why would you ask Master Lu to make this thing for you? I don't believe that Yingyue Shimei will really let you come to Fenglailou to find a girl...... I'm asking you, what are you doing here to find Miss Shen? Hearing Shi Yuan's perfunctory answer, Guo Renjie couldn't help but roll his eyes a little dissatisfied, and his tone was very excited.

"This ...... I'm here to apologize! Shi Yuan hesitated for a long time, and finally said helplessly.

"Apologize? What apologies? Could it be that Brother Shi, what have you done to be sorry for Miss Shen? But...... Then you should also apologize to Lin Shimei, right? Why did you go and apologize to Miss Shen? What's going on here? Under Shi Yuan's intentional or unintentional secrecy, only Qinglu and Lin Yingyue, as the party concerned, knew about the assassination. Shi Yuan's answer made Guo Renjie even more puzzled.

"What do you care about so much? Are you going or not? Shi Yuan pretended to be a little impatient, and said to Guo Renjie angrily.

"Go! Who said no! It's rare that Brother Shi, you invite you to visit the kiln, I naturally want to go! I'm going to get seven or eight girls to drink with me tonight!" Guo Renjie said as he hurriedly kept up with Shi Yuan's pace.

Yes, under Guo Renjie's constant questioning and threats, Shi Yuan proposed to treat himself, which made Guo Renjie follow him. Of course, as the eldest son of the Guo family in Jinling, Guo Renjie did not take these small money in his eyes. It's just that he is really a little curious about Shi Yuan's attitude, what kind of thing will it be that makes Shi Yuan prefer to pay money and not say?

In addition, because Shi Yuan hadn't shown him the flower post sent by Shen Wei, he was also a little curious about how Shi Yuan met Shen Wei. You must know that although this Shen Wei is the Oiran of Fenglai Tower, she has never seen guests! Unless...... She herself is willing!

Although there are indeed a lot of scandals between Shen Wei and Shi Yuan, what poems are passed on across the river, excellent works are given to each other, and they invite each other to the boudoir...... And the most noteworthy thing is that at his father's birthday banquet that day, Shen Wei kissed Shi Yuan in public. But Guo Renjie didn't see it about it...... This is also what he has always regretted. Now, although he doesn't know why Lin Yingyue asked Shi Yuan to come to Fenglai Tower, Guo Renjie doesn't care about this, he is only interested in the relationship between Shi Yuan and Shen Wei......

And this time, isn't it a chance to find out?

Guo Renjie thought in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, the two came to Fenglai Tower. Guo Renjie is naturally a regular customer here, so he pulled a few girls into the car and walked in. As for Shi Yuan, he got rid of a few girls with heavy makeup and followed a few people.

Walking into Fenglai Building, Shi Yuan looked around, but saw that the scene in this building was still the same as last time. On the tables and chairs on both sides, there are still men sitting in twos and threes, talking and laughing with the girls who are adding wine on one side, and of course, there are also hands and feet. On the stage in the middle of the building, where the bright moon bead lanterns were hung, there were several women dressed in tulle, dancing to the music......

Although this is the second time I have come, I can see the scorching light in front of me, as if it were day, and it is a luxurious scene. Brother Shi still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Speaking of which, he has recently become famous in Jinling City, and when he came in, there was no shortage of women who frequently looked at Shi Yuan. There are slightly bold, even unscrupulous throwing winks at him...... Of course, there are also sons who came to Fenglailou like him, looking at him with contempt...... Now, his name is preceded by the words "Lin family's grandson-in-law"!

"Look, isn't that Shi Yuan's kid?"

"That's right! Didn't the old lady of the Lin family promise Miss Lin to him? How dare you come to this Fenglai Building? ”

"That's it! What scum! It's not worth it for Miss Lin! ”

"Brother Huang, aren't you all married? Isn't this still coming to this Fenglai Building? ”

"Can marriage be the same as having a marriage contract? It's not the same! Besides, the girl is as beautiful as a flower, and the yellow-faced woman in my family ......"
