The next day, it was a break.
Xu Qi 'an and the others all got up a little late. They stretched their muscles, had breakfast in their rooms, and then gathered in the outer hall in twos and threes.
Jiang Lvzhong slept with a plump little Top Beauty last night, and this morning, he wished he could treat Xu Qi 'an as his own son. It should be noted that in tea parties, Top Beauty usually looked down on Warrior, and Jiang Lvzhong was from Jinluo, the night watchman. How could he go to tea parties with a group of merchants and pawns?
In addition, the Musical House was the territory of the Ministry of Rites. The night watchman and the civil officials had always been at odds, so it was not good to force them to sleep with the Top Beauty. Therefore, the higher the night watchman, the less they liked to go to the Musical House. They all hung out in other brothels.
"No wonder people say you are the Top Beauty Killer." Jiang Lvzhong patted Xu Qi 'an on the shoulder and smiled with a ruddy face.
"Top Beauty Killer? When did I get such a strange title? " Xu Qi 'an was puzzled. "What?"
"The story of nine women fighting for a man has spread in the capital," Jiang Lvzhong said.
"My reputation has been ruined … But Top Beauty Killer is a Top Beauty Killer. It sounds better than being a prostitute …" Xu Qi 'an remembered that it was the night when the nine Top Beauties visited him when he was catching the fox demon.
At this time, Li Yuchun came out, full of energy.
"Boss, how did you sleep last night?" Song Tingfeng greeted her.
Li Yuchun nodded slightly. "Not bad, but a little noisy."
Xu Qi 'an complained in his heart, "I thought you would say," But the rhythm of shaking the bed is not consistent enough. "
When Fu Xiang woke up, the stinky man who didn't care about her at all had left. She got up with the quilt, yawned lazily, and took a bath with the help of the maid.
"Lady Ming Yan just sent a message, saying that she invited you to the Green Pool Courtyard for a drink at lunch," the maid said.
"One who is unaccountably solicitous must be hiding evil intentions …" Fu Xiang thought secretly and said lightly, "Got it."
She wiped her white and soft body, put on a light white dress, put on a fox fur coat, and sat in the warm bedroom reading for a while until lunch.
…
In the Green Pond Courtyard, Courtesan Ming Yan held a banquet in the hall and invited six or seven courtesans, including Fu Xiang.
Each had its own merits.
Those who were beautiful might not be able to be the top courtesan, but those who were beautiful and talented would definitely be able to be the top courtesan.
"I heard that Prince Xu wrote a poem in the Imperial City denouncing Minister Sun of the Ministry of Justice. Sisters, have you heard about this?" Fu Xiang drank some wine as she talked about the interesting story she had heard at yesterday's banquet.
"Prince Xu is composing poems again?" The courtesans were immediately interested.
At night, Courtesan Young Ya sat at the banquet and heard about it. She took over the topic and recited it with a look of admiration. She smiled like a love-struck fool.
"Not only is Prince Xu talented, but he is also extremely daring. He just challenged the Minister of Justice in the Imperial City and humiliated him."
"It's not just humiliating him. Once this poem is published, Minister Sun's reputation will probably …"
This topic should be stopped at this point. It could be a light or heavy offense for a state-owned enterprise's receptionist to make presumptuous remarks about a minister. Moreover, they were all plastic sisters. It was impossible for them to confide in each other.
Thus, the topic shifted to Xu Qi'an. Most of the courtesans present coveted Xu Qi'an's poetic talent. As for his health, no one knew except for Fu Xiang.
"Sister Fu Xiang, that Prince Xu … how did he behave tonight?"
The courtesans snickered.
Fu Xiang frowned. It was impossible for her to say something like "that stinky man is a beast."
If she really said it, this group of coquettish bitches would spread the news at night. At that time, people would laugh at her for being vulgar and damage her reputation.
After pondering for a moment, Fu Xiang had an idea. She used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of vegetable leaf from the plate, then picked out seven bones from the vinegar fish and placed them on the vegetable leaf.
After doing all this, Fu Xiang smiled sweetly.
…
"December 29th. I haven't written a diary for a long time. I've already burned my old diary, but I'm not a decent person. Hmm, today, Yuan Jing (crossed out), I've already respectfully addressed him as His Majesty, so I can't leave behind any evidence of disrespect.
"His Majesty has pardoned me from the death penalty. I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Rites committed suicide in the dungeon of the Ministry of Justice … Ha, this is the ending that everyone wants. But Wang Shoufu was kind enough to fight for an ending where his whole family was exiled. He didn't have his whole family executed, and he didn't have three tribes. I asked Wei Yuan why he didn't hit me when I was down, and Wei Yuan said that it was not a gentleman's behavior to end one's family.
"You don't even have a penis, and you're still a gentleman (crossed out)? Wei Yuan is not a bad person."
"December 30th. Today, I went to the academy to visit Erlang. Erlang told me a lot, and I'll extract the core content: these bastards. Today, they'll test on policy theory, tomorrow on poetry, and the day after tomorrow on the Four Classics. It's either you or him. What the hell are they testing on?
"It seems that the academic pressure is really great. Even Erlang can't take it. I feel that he's in the same state as I was in the second half of my senior year … I can't remember it. It's a shadow in my life. Every day, what the hell are they testing on? "
"December 31st. I feel that Fu Xiang is becoming more and more gentle and considerate towards me. Is this the legendary 'affection grows with time'? No, no, I have to give her the cold shoulder for a few days. Tomorrow, I'll change the Top Courtesan. "
"January 1st. Miss Ming Yan is really great. Her body is really flexible when she practices dancing. There are all kinds of positions that you can't think of, but there's nothing that she can't do. I can't stop wanting to. She was also very satisfied with what I did, because she said, 'After serving your excellency Xu, I realized that when I lie down, my knees can touch my shoulders.' "
"January 2nd. Today, I started writing a novel. Because I promised Lingyue that I would write an interesting novel for her to read, I named the first novel in my life 'The Sky of Fate'. I remember the beginning: Little Bing's results in junior high school weren't ideal (crossed out the entire paragraph). Once upon a time, there was a pair of grey-haired childhood sweethearts."
"January 3rd. Today, I accompanied Shangfan to row a boat. This princess is a little delicate, unruly, and willful, but she's easy to fool. She's not scheming, and she trusts me very much. I successfully swindled a famous painting worth 20 taels of gold from her. Then, I gave it to Father Wei. "
"January 4th. Today, I chatted with Princess Huaiqing and talked about the impact of the Sampo Case on the situation in the imperial court. Then, she invited me to compete with her. She's actually at the peak of the Spirit Refinement realm … I seem to have discovered something. As everyone knows, the Spirit Refinement realm can't lose one's virginity. This is the same for both men and women.
"Well, I'm not talking about the fact that Princess Huaiqing is still a virgin. Of course, an unmarried princess is still a virgin. What I mean is, with her talent, she shouldn't be stuck at the Spirit Refinement realm. Maybe she did it on purpose, so that she wouldn't get married. I saw the ambition of this princess. If she was born in my era, she would definitely be a domineering female president. "
"January 5th. I heard that I went to see Princess Royal yesterday. Princess Shangfan was angry at being cuckolded by her boyfriend. She pointed at me and scolded me for being an ungrateful servant, even though she had rewarded me with a famous painting a while ago. I said that Princess Royal rewarded me with 200 taels of silver. When she heard that, she actually gave me more money … How f * cking wise. I didn't take advantage of her. I made a shuttlecock for her. There's no such thing in the palace. Shangfan was having a lot of fun. She dragged me to play with her until dusk. It was really an empty day. "
"January 6th. I took Xu Lingyin and Chu Caiwei to Osmanthus Restaurant for dinner. The two terrible females actually ate five taels of silver from me. I felt that I lost a lot. After getting along with them for this period of time, I found something not so good. Chu Caiwei is 18 years old this year, but it seems that she hasn't awakened to love. She's very slow when it comes to relationships. When I flirt with her, she blushes, but she forgets about it after turning her head.
"Either I'm not handsome enough, or she hasn't awakened to love yet. I think it's the latter. After all, I've never seen anyone who is more handsome than me. Nangong Qianrou and Erlang are beautiful, not handsome.
"I have to continue working hard. My previous experience tells me that if I had hooked up with Chu Caiwei earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble. After all, in this day and age, those who can help you are your friends, and those who can help you a few times are your girlfriends.
"Of course, it's the same with hooking up with the princess. It's just that the repercussions are too great. Princess Huaiqing's status is too high, so it's a little difficult. I can try framing it. The ending would probably be the execution of her entire family, right?
"After all, according to the style of this era, I'm not doing what's done. I'm the princess's gigolo. Don't talk about human rights. "
"January 7th. Baldy Hengy Yuan came to me and asked me to borrow money … I really want to take back my words of 'come to me if you have any difficulties'. Will he return the money? Bullshit, you're just a stinky monk living in a nursing home. Where would you get the money to pay me back? Sigh … Forget it, I'll just treat it as charity. By the way, during this time, the situation in the imperial court has become more and more unpredictable, and the partisan struggle is in full swing. This may be Yuan Jing's (crossed out), and His Majesty is happy to see it happen. "
"January 8th. Xu Qi'an, Xu Qi'an, you're about to reach the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. With such a good aptitude, you shouldn't be obsessed with women. You should seize the time to practice. As a witness, from today on, I won't accompany the two princesses, Chu Caiwei, Xu Lingyue, or go to the Musical House to sleep with any top courtesan. If I violate this oath, I'll be cut and punished forever. "
"January 9th. Listen to music at the brothel."
…
That morning, Xu Qi'an was summoned to the Sharp Spear Hall by Yang Yan of Jinluo. Yang Yan, whose face was as cold as a sculpture, said straightforwardly,
"My foster father intends to promote you to be a silver gong."
"Duke Wei wants to promote me to be a silver gong?" Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, and then he felt the joy of being promoted and getting a raise in salary, reaching the peak of his life, and marrying a fair, rich, and beautiful woman.
First of all, a silver gong's monthly salary was ten taels of silver, which did not count some hidden income. Even if he bought a house in the inner city in the future, Xu Qi'an could still support the family's expenses with his Second Uncle.
Secondly, a silver gong had great power. Not only did he have a direct gong to order, but his position was also more stable, because even Jinluo had no right to dismiss a silver gong at will.
Finally, a silver gong was responsible for the night patrol work in the imperial city. This also meant that Xu Qi'an could freely enter and exit the imperial city in the future, and it would be more convenient for him to see Huaiqing and Lin 'an.
This was good for him to cultivate feelings with the princesses, and he could hug their legs.
"We have to wait for the capital inspection," Yang Yan said, "The night watchman also has a capital inspection, and he will be personally inspected by my foster father. The promotion and demotion of the night watchman will be during the capital inspection. Let me tell you first. "
Xu Qi'an's first thought was: to buy a house.
After finishing dinner, Xu Qi'an put down his bowl and chopsticks and coughed, "I have something to announce."
His family looked over, and only Xu Lingyin was immersed in her own world, gnawing on a chicken leg.
"After the capital inspection, I will be a silver gong. Of course, this is not the main point. The main point is that I plan to buy a house in the inner city. "
His aunt and Xu Lingyue, the mother and daughter pair, had their beautiful eyes shining brightly. Their excitement was far greater than that of the second uncle Xu and the ignorant Xu Lingyin.
After all, after living in the inner city, the security environment was strengthened, and there were very few cases of women being raped on the streets. It was not that the yamen's quality had improved, but they would have some concerns.
Furthermore, the shops in the inner city were far from comparable to the outer city. The things they bought and the food they ate were all a grade higher.
At night, Xu Qi'an lay on his bed, his thoughts wandering.
"I was able to get promoted and get a raise because of my contribution to the Sampo Case and Princess Pingyang Case, and also because I was good at flattering. Wei Yuan liked the famous painting that was framed and sent to me. He saw that I was so good at things, so he will definitely train me.
"So, even if I have outstanding ability and have a leader to train me, I still have to know how to conduct myself. Tomorrow, I will go to the yamen to make a list of houses to buy, and choose houses one by one. I still have more than 7400 taels of savings, so it should not be difficult to buy a three-way house. "
As he thought about it, he fell into a deep sleep.
