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 Courtesan last night, and this morning, he wished he could treat Xu Qi 'an as his own son. It should be noted that Top Courtesans usually looked down on Warrior at tea parties, 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, and the night watchman and the civil officials had always been at odds, so it was inappropriate to force them to sleep with the Top Courtesan. Therefore, the higher the level of the night watchman, the less they liked to go to the Musical House. They all fooled around in other brothels.
"No wonder people say you are the Top Courtesan Killer." Jiang Lvzhong patted Xu Qi 'an on the shoulder and smiled with a ruddy face.
"Top Courtesan 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 Courtesan Killer is a Top Courtesan Killer. It sounds better than being a prostitute …" Xu Qi 'an remembered that it was the night when the nine Top Courtesans 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."
After wiping her fair and soft body clean, she changed into a light white dress and put on a fox fur coat. She sat in the warm bedroom and read a book for a while, staying up until lunch.
…
In the Green Pool Courtyard, the Top Courtesan Ming Yan held a banquet in the hall and invited six or seven Top Courtesans, including Fu Xiang.
Each had its own merits.
Those who were beautiful might not be able to become the top courtesan, but those who were beautiful and talented would definitely be able to become the top courtesan.
"I heard that Young Master Xu wrote a poem in the Imperial City, denouncing Minister Sun of the Ministry of Justice. Have you heard about this?" Fu Xiang drank some wine as she talked about the interesting story she had heard at the banquet yesterday.
"Young Master 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 face full of admiration. She smiled like a love-struck fool.
"Not only is Young Master Xu talented, but he also has the audacity to challenge the Minister of Justice in the Imperial City and humiliate 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. It was impossible to talk about his health. Most of the Top Courtesans were interested in Xu Qi'an's poetry.
Thus, the topic turned 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 Young Master Xu... How did he perform tonight?"
Fu Xiang frowned. It was impossible for her to say, "That stinky man is an animal."
If she said it, this group of coquettish bitches would spread at night. At that time, people would laugh at her vulgarity and damage her reputation.
Fu Xiang frowned. She picked up a piece of vegetable leaf with her chopsticks, picked out seven bones from the fish, and placed them on the leaf.
After a moment of contemplation, Floating Incense 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 fish and placed them on top of the vegetable leaf.
After doing all this, Fu Xiang smiled sweetly.
"December 29th. I haven't written in a diary for a long time. I've burned my old diary, but I'm not a decent person.
Today, Yuan Jing (crossed out), I've already addressed him as His Majesty. I can't leave any disrespectful evidence. "His Majesty spared me 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 everyone wants. But Wang Shoufu was kind enough to fight for his family to be exiled.
"His Majesty has pardoned my death sentence. I heard that the Ministry of Rites Minister committed suicide in the Ministry of Justice's underground prison to escape punishment … Heh, this is a conclusion everyone wants. However, Grand Secretary Wang is still quite kind, fighting for his entire family to be exiled, not having his entire family executed, not having three clans exterminated. I asked Wei Yuan why he didn't kick him when he was down. Wei Yuan said that it was not a gentleman's behavior.
"You don't even have a penis. How can you be 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. Let me extract the core content: these bastards. Today they 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?
"It seems that the academic pressure is so great that even Erlang can't stand it. I feel like he's 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? "
"December 31st. I feel that Fu Xiang is becoming gentler and more considerate towards me. Is this what they mean by 'love grows with time'? No, no, I have to ignore her for a few days. Tomorrow, I'll change the Top Courtesan. "
"January 1st. Miss Ming Yan is so good. Her body is so flexible when she practices dancing. There are all kinds of positions that you can't think of. I can't stop myself. She was also very satisfied with my actions because she said, 'After serving your excellency Xu, I realized that my knees can touch my shoulders when I lie down. "
"January 2nd. Today, I started writing a novel. Because I promised Lingyue that I would write an interesting novel for her, I named the first novel in my life 'The Sky of Fate'. I remember the beginning: Little Bing's grades in junior high weren't good (crossed out). 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 capricious, but she is easy to fool. She trusts me very much and I successfully tricked her into giving me a famous painting worth 20 taels of gold. 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 is actually at the peak of the Spirit Refinement State … I seem to have discovered something. As we all know, the Spirit Refinement State cannot lose its virginity. This is the same for both men and women.
"Well, what I want to say is not that Princess Huaiqing is still a virgin. Of course, an unmarried princess is still a virgin. What I mean is that with her talent, she should not be stuck at the Spirit Refinement State. Maybe she did it on purpose to not get married. I saw the ambition of this princess. If she was born in my era, she would definitely be a domineering female CEO. "
"January 5th. I heard that I went to see Princess Royal yesterday. Princess Shangfan was so angry that her boyfriend cheated on her. She pointed at me and scolded me for being an ungrateful slave. She clearly 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 is no such thing in the palace. Shangfan had 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 a meal. The two terrible females actually ate five taels of silver from me. I felt that I lost a lot. After getting along with them during this period of time, I found something not so good. Chu Caiwei is 18 years old this year, but it seems that she is still in love. She is very slow when it comes to relationships. When I flirt with her, she will blush, but she will forget about it in the blink of an eye.
"Either I am not handsome enough, or she is not enlightened. I think it is the latter. After all, I have never seen anyone who is more handsome than me. Nangong Qianrou and Erlang are beautiful, not handsome.
"I have to continue working hard. Previous experience tells me that if I had hooked up with Chu Caiwei earlier, there would not 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 is the same to hook up with the princess. It is just that the repercussions are too great. Princess Huaiqing's rank is too high, so it is a little difficult. I can try to frame it. The ending would probably be the execution of his entire family, right?
"After all, according to the style of this era, I am not doing what is done. I am 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 are a stinky monk living in a nursing home, where will you get the money to pay me back? Sigh … Forget it, I will just treat it as charity. By the way, during this time, the situation in the court has become more and more unpredictable, and the partisan struggle is in full swing. This may be Yuan Jing's (crossed out), which is what His Majesty is happy to see. "
"January 8th. Xu Qi'an, Xu Qi'an, you are about to reach the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. With such a good aptitude, you should not indulge in women. You should seize the time to practice. As a witness, from today on, I will not 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 will 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 include 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, which will be personally inspected by my foster father. The promotion and demotion of the night watchman will be in the capital inspection period. 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, eating 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 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 that they would have some concerns.
Furthermore, the shops in the inner city were far better than those in the outer city. The things they bought and the food they ate were all a grade higher.
That night, Xu Qi 'an lay on his bed, his imagination running wild.
"I was promoted and had a raise because of my contribution to the Sampo Case and Princess Pingyang's 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.
