Chapter 273

"I want to thank you, Young Master. If I can be famous in history in the future, it must be thanks to you." Floating Fragrance's eyes were flowing with affection, which made her more charming.

Xu Qi'an knew what she was referring to. Since ancient times, there were many famous prostitutes who became famous because of their poems.

Any prostitute would be wild with joy at such an opportunity.

There were two kinds of people in the world who liked to compete for fame, scholars and prostitutes.

"What I want is your deep gratitude …" Xu Qi'an smiled and appropriately showed a little frivolity. "How are you going to thank me?"

The room was as warm as spring. He had drunk a lot of wine, and after sitting for a while, he already felt unbearably hot, so he took off his robe and put it on the round stool.

Floating Fragrance bit her tender and plump lips and said shyly, "Young Master, the night is long. Why don't you listen to me play a song for you first?"

Xu Qi'an was stunned. He knew that she had misunderstood him, so he smiled and did not explain.

Women in ancient times were still elegant. If you slept with them, they would say, "Don't worry, let me play a song for you."

Unlike later girls, if you slept with them, they would say, "Hurry up!"

After listening to the song patiently, Xu Qi'an had to admit that this Top Courtesan had some skills. She was excellent in both zither and poetry. He did not know about her poetry, but her zither playing was really good.

He, a person who did not know music, could also calm down and immerse himself in it.

Xu Qi'an took a sip of tea to ease the dryness in his throat caused by drinking, and then casually started a topic. "Miss Floating Fragrance is an outstanding beauty. Has no one redeemed you?"

This was obviously not a very pleasant topic. The Courtesan Maiden sighed dejectedly.

"How can a girl from the Musical House be redeemed so easily? Even if she met a lover, the Ministry of Rites would not agree. "

In fact, it was too expensive. It was difficult to redeem a popular Top Courtesan from the Musical House. Because she was a prostitute for the government, she had to go through a lot of procedures and bribe people, which cost far more than other Top Courtesans from the brothels.

"I remember arrester Wang said that the Top Courtesan from the ordinary brothels cost about 500 to 1,000 taels. The Top Courtesan from the Musical House might double, or even more.

What does 2,000 taels mean?

I have to save for 10 years without eating or drinking, and my income is still above average … With so much money, wouldn't it be better to buy a few beautiful concubines? "

Xu Qi'an subconsciously calculated in his mind and came to the conclusion that this deal was a big loss!

"That's true. With Lady Fu Xiang's beauty, even in Great Feng Capital, you wouldn't be able to find another like her," Xu Qi 'an flattered.

"Top Courtesan" to "Miss Floating Fragrance" and "Miss Floating Fragrance". "Courtesan" to "Miss Floating Fragrance" from "Miss Floating Fragrance" to "Top Fragrance". Qi'an to Floating Floating Floating Floating Feng.

Floating to to to to her, to to to to her, and her, and Floating, her to her to to to her.

To Master to to to to to. "Floating." Xu Qi'an once again heard about the legendary "Top Fragrance" of the capital.

He had seen countless beauties in his previous life. Now that he had seen Xu Lingyue, Chu Caiwei, and other almost flawless beauties, he really couldn't imagine how beautiful this Princess had to be to be the "Top Fragrance" of the capital.

"It's probably because of her status …" he thought.

"That Princess was born in a family of scholars in Jiangnan. When she was nine years old, she went to the Jade Buddha Temple with her parents to burn incense.

The abbot gave her a poem: "Born to shock all the beauties, Mu Xiyang with grace. Praised by the public as a national beauty, the soul of the world provoked the emperor.

"Since then, she became famous, and was sent to the palace at the age of 13."

Xu Qi'an asked curiously, "Then how did she become a Princess?"

Floating Fragrance stretched out her slender hand in her long sleeves, picked up the porcelain bottle with her fingers, and poured out the plaster. While maintaining the Phoenix Tail Zither, she said,

"Nineteen years ago, during the great victory at Shanhai Pass, the King of Zhenbei was the second greatest hero, so His Majesty gave him the" Top Fragrance "of the capital."

The King of Zhenbei was the younger brother of His Majesty, so it wasn't strange for him to give the "Top Fragrance" to the King. After all, the "Top Fragrance" was a beauty, but His Majesty had devoted himself to cultivation and had long since abandoned women … Xu Qi'an was curious about another matter.

"Who was the greatest hero?"

"Duke Wei. Duke Wei was the Commander-in-Chief of the three armies. If he wasn't a eunuch, the Princess wouldn't be the Princess." Floating Fragrance smiled and said, "What I said to Young Master is that there's nothing that can't be said. But once we're out of this door, don't talk too much."

As for the matter of Duke Wei, it was fine if ordinary people talked about it. After all, she was a receptionist working in a state-owned enterprise.

"So it's him …" Xu Qi'an suddenly understood. He had heard of Wei Yuan before.

He was too famous.

Although he was a eunuch, he was amazingly talented. He could govern the country with literature and quell rebellions with martial arts. If he hadn't lost a good chicken early, it would have been a piece of cake for him to be the top scorer in the imperial examination.

The two chatted from time to time. Xu Qi'an was well-versed in persuading people with persuasive words, which was a skill he had developed when he practiced interrogation skills.

After going around for a long time, the topic was finally brought to Zhou Li.

"This man is lustful, absurd, and has no knowledge. I don't like him. Every time he participates in the tea party, I just pretend that he doesn't exist," Floating Fragrance said.

"The Musical House is under the charge of the Ministry of Rites. He's just the son of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so I'm not afraid of him."

Xu Qi'an appropriately showed some curiosity and asked with a smile, "What do you mean by lustful and absurd? Isn't it normal to seek flowers and willows?"

"This matter involves some official secrets," Hua Kui's wife hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I heard it from other officials, so I know a little about it. If Young Master Yang wants to know, I'll tell you, but don't tell it to others."

Her tone was coquettish and pleading.

Xu Qi'an perfectly pretended to be flattered, expressing that he was just interested and wouldn't tell others.

"This matter starts from last year's Lantern Festival. That Zhou Li is an absurd person. He liked a girl at the Lantern Festival, and while there were many eyes, he went up and molested her, and even had people injure the retainers of the girl.

"Who would have thought that the girl also had a background, and was the concubine daughter of the Mighty Marquis. Originally, if it was just a concubine daughter, the matter would not be troublesome, but the problem was that the concubine daughter's mother was the sister of the Mighty Marquis's first wife.

"With this blood relationship, the concubine daughter was very liked by the mistress, and her treatment was not much different from the di daughter. She just lacked a status. "

Xu Qi'an quietly clenched his fists. "Then how was it handled?"

"The Mighty Marquis complained to the imperial court, and the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue wrote an explanation. The two sides argued for many days, and in the end, the Emperor ruled: Assistant Minister Zhou did not teach his son well, so he was given a year's salary and compensated the Mighty Marquis with five thousand taels. Zhou Li was grounded for three months, and if he committed the offense again, he would be severely punished. "

If he committed the offense again, he would be severely punished … these words seemed to strike Xu Qi'an's mind like lightning, and caused him to explode with inspiration.

Zhou Li had desired the concubine daughter of the Mighty Marquis for a long time, and because he had suffered a loss and been beaten, he was in a depressed mood. In a moment of heat, he had designs on the concubine daughter of the Mighty Marquis …

All the information he had gathered about Zhou Li was instantly summarized, and it was like a cornerstone that added to his plan.

So he sent people to kidnap the concubine daughter of the Mighty Marquis, and hid her in a private residence outside, planning to have sex with her … and then kill her to silence her … en, this was very reasonable.

"Of course, the goal is to frame me. I do not need to kill an innocent girl. This is the first draft of the current plan. I still have to discuss the details with Erlang. It has to be done naturally and reasonably … "

Seeing that Xu Qi'an was in a daze, the Hua Kui girl called out to him. Her pink lips slightly pouted, and she seemed to complain.

"Does Young Master want to sit with me for an entire night?"

Uh … I can't lose my virginity. If I don't sit for an entire night, do I have to do it for an entire night?
