Chapter 143: The Assassin
The five most beautiful women in red, each of them has some amazing faces, especially the woman in the middle, who is even more beautiful and suffocating.
The guzheng sounded softly, and the woman in the middle sat half-sitting on the zither, and her enchanting and moving posture accompanied by a beautiful voice became the most dazzling figure today.
The four women in red danced lightly, and their red sleeves joined forces, shaking everyone's hearts.
Since ancient times, it is no wonder that heroes have beauties and many disasters, which reflects not how much evil women have, but that men are often weak-willed and difficult to resist when facing beautiful women.
Most of the people present were powerful disciples, and there were never women around them, but when they saw the beautiful shadows on the high platform, they were completely sucked away.
"Buy one and go home" Mingyue looked at the five women in red, and persuaded softly, there is not a single dancing girl in the house, it is really boring, these people look good, you can pass the time when you are bored.
"No money"
Ning Chen shook his head without hesitation and said, his salary was set by the eldest grandson himself, and it was just enough for the expenses of the mansion, and he didn't know how the eldest grandson calculated it, and he didn't have any excess left.
Mingyue was a little frustrated, this is indeed a big problem, they really don't have money, she has been an emperor for more than seven years, and it is the first time she has seen such a miserable marquis, the salaries of court officials are generally fixed, and there has never been a bad guy who even has to be managed.
After a while, the selection of the Oiran began, and as expected, the result was decided by the vote of those present.
It's just that this ticket didn't come for free, but was bought with silver.
The five women in red on the high platform are all well-known Qing people in the imperial city, and there are a large number of suitors, among which there are extraordinary magnates, and the matter of sprinkling silver has never been a problem.
"Give you ten taels, let's play with it" Ning Chen took out a small ingots and handed it to Mingyue Dao.
"I'll choose the one in the middle" Mingyue took the ingot, very happy.
"Ling Gongzi gave three hundred taels of silver, and voted for Miss Liu thirty votes"
"Li Gongzi gave 700 taels of silver, and voted for Miss Chu 70 votes"
"The son-in-law gave 1,000 taels of silver......"
......
One voice after another sounded, holding out an astonishing number, I have to say that these noble children in the imperial city are all rich people, and spending a lot of money is not just talking.
The land of fireworks has always been a bottomless gold cave.
"Ming Xiaogongzi gave ten taels of silver, and voted for Miss Liu"
At this moment, a surprising voice sounded in the corner of the banquet, everyone was stunned, and subconsciously looked at it, and the waitress who reported the number was slightly condensed and quite nervous.
On the second floor, Su Feiyan was also stunned when he heard this voice, and immediately got up and walked to the curtain, looking like two figures in the corner of the banquet, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, it turned out that he had already come.
In the corner of the banquet, Ning Chen felt the gaze from the second floor, looked up, and smiled faintly.
In the final result, the woman in red who stroked the kite in the middle won with an absolute advantage and seized the name of this year's Oiran.
"Liu Ruoxi, good name, it's a pity" Ning Chen glanced at the woman on the stage, sighed lightly, and didn't say anything more.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, when her face withers, in the land of fireworks, the higher she is held, the heavier she will fall in the end.
The fate of the oiran in the past dynasties will not be too good, it is an honor to be able to marry a powerful person as a concubine, and if you are unlucky, it is very likely that you will be swept away after your face is old.
This soft sigh was Ning Chen's pity for the fate of a beautiful woman, but there was only this sigh.
Everyone has their own path, he doesn't want to change anyone, today, she strokes the kite on the stage, he admires it below, this is all their fate, that's all.
At this moment, above the second floor, a steady and heavy voice sounded, "Su Wen Ruoxi girl has also learned the Amazing Dance, why don't you dance for everyone?"
"This mention yì is very good" In another box, a voice also came out, agreeing.
During the banquet, everyone immediately echoed and asked the new Oiran to dance a shocking dance for everyone.
"If you are sorry to be ugly"
On the high platform, Liu Ruoxi saluted everyone, and her beautiful face was slightly weak, which made people can't help but feel a desire to care.
The next moment, the red clothes rose, the long sleeves covered the face, and the light steps danced, slow at first, and then faster and faster.
The dancing red clothes are like the most beautiful butterflies, in this most beautiful year, trying their best to bloom their brilliance.
The dance is the most difficult dance in the world, in the past, Su Feiyan danced the world, and today it reappears, and it is still amazing that people can't take their eyes off it.
Everyone was fascinated and admired this splendid elegance, and after tonight, it will be unforgettable.
"Huh"
At this moment, a bright sword light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, stabbing at the dancing shadows on the stage, so suddenly that everyone did not react.
Ning Chen saw it, but he didn't make a move.
On the second floor, Su Feiyan didn't make a move, with the same calm gaze, ruthless and indifferent.
Time seemed to stop, and on the high platform, Liu Ruoxi's eyes shrank fiercely, and her face was discolored, but she couldn't do anything at all, she could only watch the sword light get closer and closer.
This is the coldest of worlds, and under the calculation and scheming, the life of a weak woman seems so worthless.
At the last distance, Liu Ruoxi had closed her eyes in despair, perhaps, this result was also good.
"Ding"
The sound of the piano finally sounded, and the assassin's sword was affected, deflected by three inches, and a sword pierced Liu Ruoxi's shoulder, and blood spilled down, blooming brilliantly.
During the banquet, everyone finally reacted, and several generals immediately rushed forward and fought with the assassins.
In the corner, Ning Chen was still drinking quietly, as if this qiē had nothing to do with it.
"Why don't you go up and help?" Mingyue asked softly.
"No," Ning Chen shook his head and replied.
"Oh" Mingyue nodded, not asking any more.
Behind the curtain on the second floor, Su Feiyan looked at Ning Chen, who was always indifferent in the corner below, her eyes narrowed slightly, she was a good fate, this self-control and coldness made her impressed again.
There is no doubt about Liu Ruoxi's charm, and the suddenness of this sword cannot be predicted, but in this case, this martial marquis of Great Xia can still be indifferent, if it is not really cold-blooded and ruthless, it is really too calm and terrifying.
It turns out that there are really men in the world who can resist the temptation of beauty.
It's a pity that Fan Lingyue sent this secret.
If the hero doesn't save the beauty, the rest of the scenes will be difficult to perform, Su Feiyan's fingertips plucked the strings again, a song broke the liver and intestines, and on the high platform, the assassin was imprinted in the heart by a military general's son, blood spurted out, and he fell straight down.
The scene was chaotic for a while, but Ning Chen and Mingyue were still sitting quietly in the corner, watching this farce.
"Childe, Miss please"
After a long time, a young girl dressed as a maid came up and saluted respectfully.
"Yes"
Ning Chen got up, without any surprise, he had never thought that this was just an ordinary Oiran conference, Su Feiyan would definitely send someone down to invite him, this was undoubtedly a thing.
The maid walked in front, Ning Chen pulled Xiao Mingyue to follow, because of what happened just now, everyone's attention was attracted, and no one cared about the departure of the three of them.
On the second floor, behind the bead curtain, there were two people sitting, one was Su Feiyan, and the other was Liu Ruoxi.
Looking at it closely, Liu Ruoxi's expression was a little weak after the injury, and she looked more and more moving.
After Ning Chen and Mingyue came, Su Feiyan spoke, "If it's a pity, you go down first"
"Yes" Liu Ruo bowed and immediately retreated.
Su Feiyan poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Ning Chen, and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "What does Childe think of Ruo Xi?"
Ning Chen picked up the tea and said lightly, "Miss Su should know the origin of the subordinates, no matter how beautiful a woman is, it is useless for a person who comes out of the palace."
"What if Gongzi has never been clean?" Su Feiyan said suddenly.
The "bang" teacup shattered, spilling Ning Chen's hand, and a trace of blood overflowed between the broken porcelain, which was extremely dazzling.
"The girl said and laughed" Ning Chen took the hand towel handed by Xiao Mingyue and wiped it gently.
"Ming people don't say secret words in front of them, and Feiyan never likes to joke about business" After speaking, Su Feiyan poured a cup of tea again, handed it to the former, and said softly, "If you have reached the age when you should leave the cabinet, you will have to be sent out sooner or later, if the son doesn't like it, it will just be bought by other powerful disciples, and eventually become a plaything."
Su Feiyan's words are very cruel, but it is also a fact, women always have a time of old age and decay, and the woman who came out of the land of fireworks has a disgraceful identity after all, and is destined to not get a good death.
However, today's Liu Ruoxi is at the moment of peerless elegance, and there are not a few people who want to take it into his arms.
The tea was delicious, sweet and bitter, after Ning Chen took a sip, he put down the teacup and said calmly, "What's the matter with me?"
After speaking, Ning Chen got up and said, "If Miss Su has nothing else to do, I will leave here, the hour is not early, and Mingyue still has to rest."
Su Feiyan was slightly stunned, came back to his senses after a while, smiled softly, and did not hold back, and said, "Qiu Lan, send my son a ride"
"Yes," a woman in Chinese clothes walked in and answered.
"Don't be so troublesome" Ning Chen spoke, refused to send him off, and led Mingyue away.
After the two left, Qiu Lan asked puzzledly, "Miss, why don't you keep him?"
"We know too little about him, and rashly co-opting him may have the opposite effect, but I didn't expect him to be so indifferent to the things that are regrettable, and he doesn't hide it at all" Su Feiyan's eyebrows frowned slightly, this fateful marquis is far more difficult to deal with than imagined.
"Then what if it's a pity" Qiu Lan thought about it, but couldn't help but ask.
"Send it to the Hou Mansion, if the Hou Mansion does not accept it, bring it back and hand it over to the matchmaker, whether to pick up the guest or give it to the powerful and let the matchmaker arrange" Su Feiyan carefully packed the tea set on the table, not caring much.
"Bang dang" In the box next door, the sound of something falling sounded, which made Qiu Lan frown unhappily, this girl's burden was getting bigger and bigger, and she dared to eavesdrop on them.
In front of the tea table, the corners of Su Fei's cigarette mouth bent a beautiful arc, and half of his face was covered by the hanging green silk, which made it difficult to see clearly. I1387
