Chapter 382: No Bad Debts
In the past, it was a comparison of the number of flowers to determine who was the oiran, but in the end, the competition was not about the number of flowers, but about the silver.
In a utilitarian society, the choices made are also different, since they all take the amount of silver to talk about things, these people present are not polite, put the Oiran on the bidding table, compare who has more silver, you can make your favorite woman become an Oiran, and by the way, you can also enjoy the gentleness of the Oiran, this is the time to compete for face.
The old scholar on the other side didn't get up to speak, maybe in his opinion, he could give a few thousand taels of silver, and it would be enough to get Liu Ruyi, and it didn't make much sense to give out more silver.
Tianxianglou will never allow anyone to come out to make trouble, Liu Ru is not only the annual Oiran in Jinling, but now his reputation has reached the capital, and he must maintain this reputation, and Liu Ru came out to run for Oiran, the purpose is not to create fame, but to use Liu Ru to accomplish some kind of political purpose.
"Who pays 20,000 taels?" Ru Niang looked up in the direction of the second floor, but saw that on the second floor, there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man, with an outstanding momentum on his body, like a little lion, facing the people below.
Because this young man was only in the crowd before, others didn't pay attention to him, and now that he suddenly gave out the money, others knew that this "little child" was a big man with a big shot, but they still didn't dare to believe that this young man could come up with so much silver.
Ji Ning looked over, but saw that the young man was quite heroic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, not as weak as a little girl, he was completely a lively little Zhengtai, with a fan in his hand, a lupine scarf, and jade around his waist, he looked like a little gentleman.
Men do not gradually reach adulthood until the age of sixteen or seventeen, and at the age of fourteen or fifteen, although there is only a difference of one or two years, the childishness in the body is still very obvious, especially in an era when adulthood is generally earlier.
Ru Niang said angrily: "Which doll dares to come out and talk nonsense? Do you have any silver for 20,000 taels? ”
Because Ru Niang's attitude was very vicious, Ji Ning thought to himself: "This young man is not Tianxianglou's trust, but it seems that he wants to come out to make trouble, but I don't know if he can really come up with so much silver, looking at his outfit, it is obviously also a wealthy and noble family, and it is likely that after the nobles, in a place like the capital, people are not good-looking!" ”
"Who says I don't have any money? Isn't it just 20,000 taels of silver, I'm out, I like this young lady named Liu Ruye very much, she looks very dignified and steady, more charming than those flashy young ladies, she deserves her name! ”
The boy spoke earnestly, as if he had said it after careful consideration.
The guests present burst into laughter, if it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who said this, they didn't think it was unusual, mainly because the childishness of this boy was too obvious, saying that he was fourteen or fifteen years old, it might be that he overestimated his age, it was likely that his age was not thirteen years old at all, just an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.
"A child, I haven't even grown my hair, do you know what I like and charm? After you have a few years later, and the hair on the top and bottom have grown, come to a place like Qinlou Chu Pavilion to look for flowers and ask willows, and then others will not laugh at you! ”
Someone next to him was sarcastic, obviously the boy was despised by others, and it was a great irony, which made the boy's face blush.
Ru Niang, as the person who came out of Tianxianglou to preside over the Oiran Conference, many words could not be said by herself, and some things needed to be said by some irrelevant people.
Ji Ning knew that this sarcastic remark was actually given back to the young man by Tianxianglou, they didn't want to do this business, and they didn't care whether the young man could come up with 20,000 taels of silver, just wanted Liu Ru to follow the previous rules.
The young man was looked at by everyone, his face was very ugly, and surprisingly, there was no one else around him, as if he was a little boy from a certain family, who ran out to play by himself, but he came out to find something good, and was noticed, and others still looked down on him, and he was not convinced.
"I have money, and I can run for Oiran, why not? Didn't you say that the first three nights of the Oiran belonged to the person who helped run for the Oiran, so I paid 20,000 taels, did the first three days of Liu Ruyes belong to me? ”
The boy was still quite persevering, and when he said this, the first thing that everyone present thought was: Even if you strip Liu Ru naked and send her to your bed, what can you do to her? Do you have what it takes?
Ji Ning looked at the young man, he was wondering what the identity of this young man was.
"Don't make trouble, if you make trouble again, I'll blow you out!" Someone wanted to go over and grab the boy and send him out of Tianxiang Building.
Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, the old scholar who had not spoken on the third floor suddenly stood up, waved his hand and said, "Slow!" ”
Ru Niang changed her face and said with a smile: "This distinguished guest, what do you command?" ”
"Since someone gave money to help Miss Liu run for Oiran, you didn't even ask, and you just wanted to drive people away, why is this? Do you think that he does not have so much silver? The old scholar's voice was very thick, as if he also had a sense of arrogance and righteousness, and he actually came out to help the young man speak for him.
Ru Niang had an idea and said, "What does Mr. Feng mean by this?" Could it be that he knew that someone came out to make trouble, maybe Liu Ru couldn't get the Oiran, and he had to think of another way to make Liu Ru the Oiran? But this young man can't come up with 20,000 taels of silver, so that's what makes Yixiao and generous! ”
Many of the people present who watched the excitement knew that they were at an absolute disadvantage in the competition for the Oiran, so they were more keen to see the excitement now.
"Yes, why don't you let this little boy take out the silver, maybe he really has so much silver?" Someone started to heckle.
Ru Niang felt that she was under a lot of pressure, and finally she waved her hand and said: "Okay, this little boy, you are a distinguished guest, so many people speak for you, you can take out the silver, otherwise...... I'll let you in and out! ”
Ji Ning would belong to the "bystander", which was originally something that had little to do with him, but he took advantage of the chaos to quickly sweep the faces of all the guests below, and soon he noticed that there were many people who were not good, and there were several mysterious people on the first floor, although they were dressed in men's clothes, they were obviously women. Ji Ning saw a bearded man and thought to himself, "Why is this person's face somewhat similar to Princess Wenren's?" ”
Just when Ji Ning focused his attention downstairs, the little boy shouted: "I have silver, but I don't bring it now, you can find someone to go to my house, I will let someone give you the silver, and I will never pay the bill!" ”
