Hearing the words, the little fat man was about to look closely, but Shen Miaoping suddenly handed the crystal pendant in front of him, and saw that the ant's limbs were instantly enlarged and every move was clearly visible, the little fat man suddenly turned his head back in fright, and could not help but widen his eyes. .

Shen Miaoping smiled and put the ants back: "How? To buy or not to buy?"

The little fat man blinked sluggishly, then nodded frantically in response: "Buy... buy!"

Shen Miao said flatly, "Do you know the Ducha Yuan? Send the money and crystal stones there today, and come to pick up the goods the day after tomorrow, the old man is innocent, I still have important things to do, so I will leave first."

The little fat man hurriedly grabbed him when he heard the words, and said eagerly: "Hey, hey, I can send you the money later, can you just give me the piece of your body?"

"This one on me?"

This is what he gave to Xie Yuzhi, of course not, earning money is important, but life is more important. No, Shen Miaoping shook his head slowly, pretending to be mysterious: "No, the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, they all said that they couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, let you Wait a few days for God to test your sincerity."

There is no bigger profiteer than Shen Miaoping in the world, and Zhang Yuanqing just now had to be willing to give in to the inferior, not to mention the fact that he had been hacked for 6,000, and the little fat man had to produce the raw materials himself, how could he make a profit.

Qian Tong didn't know about this matter, but he also admired the five-body aspect of the new boss. Shen Miaoping was rarely credited, and he was someone who would come up with things. In the afternoon, he specially invited a group of brothers to go to Chunxiaolou to drink, eat meat and see beautiful women. It is said to promote peer relationships.

Well, Chunxiaolou.

Shen Miaoping was still a little curious about what the ancient brothel looked like, he thought to himself that Xie Yuzhi would not be bored enough to send someone to stare at him if he stayed out of the gate all day long.

There is a curfew in Shengjing. After the fifth watch, people are not allowed to walk on the street at will. When Jin Wuwei was caught, he was going to play a board. The Qinglou Chu Pavilion was an exception. Now that the night is getting dark, the real noise has just begun.

The brothel girls are also divided into three, six and nine classes. The Northern Qu is the lowest class, while the Zhong Qu and Nan Qu are all elegant brothel girls. Unless you have their blue eyes, you can be the guest of honor, which is rare for ordinary dignitaries to see.

The lights were dim, and the number of carriages and horses on the street gradually increased. A low-key and luxurious carriage was parked beside Yong'an Lane. The driver's eyes were as sharp as eagles. Seeing Shen Miaoping's figure gradually disappearing from the crowd, he said respectfully in a low voice, "Second Master, Uncle entered the Chunxiao Building."

Xie Yuzhi took his eyes back and lowered the curtain lightly: "I know."

The driver said, "Do you want the villain to go and get the uncle back?"

Xie Yuzhi: "No need."

Coachman: "You just watched him go to prostitutes?"

Naturally impossible.

Chunxiaolou is located in Zhongcheng. It belongs to Zhongqu, and food and drinks are not included. Whether you can meet the oiran is also another matter. You must pay an entry fee of 300 yuan before entering. Qian Tong seems to be a regular customer. He came up to greet him: "Oh, Mr. Qian is a rare visitor, I'm finally willing to come today..."

In the middle of her speaking, she looked at Shen Miaoping, her fingernails stained with Dan Kou held the handkerchief and swung it in front of him, she could hardly see a bit of shyness: "What a handsome young man, I have never seen you in the Nu family before, you Is it your first time here?"

Qian Tong coughed twice in embarrassment: "This is my lord, the newly appointed censor of the city."

When Yun Niang heard the words, "Aah", she seemed a little surprised: "Why did you change your head again."

Qian Tong waved his hand and said: "Hey, the last one had his teeth pulled out by the little prince of Zhenbei Hou's mansion, and now he is still lying at home and dare not go out, quickly bring up the good wine and good dishes from your side, Lao Tzu patrols. I was hungry all day after patrolling the streets."

Below the Chunxiao Building is the hall with low tables. There are girls playing and singing on the stage. The sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly. Lower-level prostitutes will accompany guests below. The appearance of his skin, he thought through the information: "There is a new girl under the slave family, named Bing'er, who loves poetry, and I will come to the stage to perform in a while, and I hope your son will join in more."

Shen Miaoping looked around and found that there was nothing to see, she shook her head and said, "No, my family already has a wife."

Yun Niang chuckled, feeling that he was acting pretentious: "Look what the young master said, there are so many people coming and going in this Chunxiaolou, who is not a wife, and what is it that hinders? Binger has a wonderful face, if you want to be her The guest of honor, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Shen Miaoping grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table, pretended not to hear her sarcasm, and asked casually, "A wonderful face? Does it look good on me?"

When Yun Niang heard this, she thought to herself that she had never seen such a shameless person before, so she forced a smile: "Young master naturally looks like a tree, but how do you compare with women?"

After saying this, she twisted her waist and walked away. A small censor who was patrolling the city was not worth her troubles. It changed every day, every month, every month. There were so many princes and princes here, and they were too busy.

Qian Tong and the others were already seated, drinking and boxing was very lively, they saw that Shen Miaoping was sitting still with his arms in his sleeves and was more stable than a monk, so they could not help but say, "Sir, do you want to find some beautiful girls for you? It's lonely to be alone. of."

These few people are smart, but they are useless in the right place, and they did not inquire about the details of the new boss beforehand. If they knew that Shen Miaoping was the son-in-law of the Duke of Chang's residence, they would not dare to say such a thing.

Shen Miaoping raised her hand to pour the wine, elegant and boundless: "Aren't you people?"

When a group of men heard this, they laughed dryly, waved their hands quickly, and moved away from him by the way: "I can't wait for a man to be a man, and the clerk's building is opposite, sir, you have gone to the wrong place."

"Okay, then I'll go to the opposite side, and you can drink slowly."

Shen Miaoping was too lazy to take care of them and felt that the brothel was just like that, it was no big deal, she got up and shook her sleeves and was about to go home, but at this moment, someone suddenly stopped him from behind: "Hey! Brother Shen is the one in front. ?"

Hearing this, Shen Miaoping paused and turned around in doubt, but saw that the person who called him was a rich young man wearing a red robe and brocade boots, with a round face and small eyes, and a bookish girl with a beautiful appearance was also in his arms. A normal-level brothel woman.

I know from memory that this round-faced peasant-eyed man is Liu Zhenhu, the eldest son of the Marquis of Wu'an family, who is the second in the current class. It's just that he doesn't deal with the original body very much, and he always thinks about Fa'er to find his fault. Thought I met here today.

Shen Miaoping was stunned and cupped her hands with meaning, "It turned out to be Brother Liu, I am disrespectful."

Liu Zhenhu didn't return the salute, and walked towards him with the girl in his arms in his arms. He limped a little while walking, but he accidentally fell off while running a horse in the suburbs of Beijing a few days ago, and he just laughed and said: " Brother Shen, you are truly blessed with double happiness. First, you married that Erlang of the Xie family and became the son-in-law of the Duke of Chang's mansion, and then you got to be the second-ranking flower. It really makes me feel ashamed of being second in the list."

These words sounded mysterious and tight, first of all the matter of Shen Miaoping's entry into the family, then he said that he had won the third spot, clearly telling others about his nepotism, and using his second place status to push him.

The visitor is not good.

Liu Zhenhu's voice was so high that many people around him heard it, and his eyes on Shen Miaoping gradually became subtle. There are many literati and writers in the room. The corruption in the imperial examinations has just subsided, and his words undoubtedly pushed Shen Miaoping to the forefront of the storm. , any answer is wrong.

Seeing that Shen Miaoping was speechless, Liu Zhenhu looked him up and down, and said with surprise: "Yo? Your Majesty has given you an official title? The imperial censor of the city? The street patrol? !"

Qian Tong and the others on the side only recovered from the explosive news that "Shen Miaoping is the son-in-law of the Duke of Chang's mansion", and they were stimulated by the contempt contained in the words "touring the streets". Soldiers, how could they have good temper, they immediately patted the table and stood up behind Shen Miaoping, glaring at Liu Zhenhu.

Qian Tong eagerly said in a low voice, "Sir, do you want the little ones to beat this man with a mouth full of feces to vent his anger?"

Shen Miaoping said, "Okay, you guys hurry up and knock down his mouth full of teeth."

"Forehead… "

Qian Tong smiled, scratched his head, and was silent for a moment in embarrassment.

Shen Miaoping sneered, "I knew you didn't dare, so go away."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Zhenhu and smiled decently: "Thanks to the sage's attention, he personally gave me this position, and it is also my honor to be able to protect the safety of one party. At first glance, you thought it was Jiang Hongyuan, the number one scholar in this department."

There are two layers of implication: first, the official position is bestowed by the sage, and there is no shame; second, Liu Zhenhu is only second in the list, and he is even more flamboyant than the champion.

When Liu Zhenhu heard the meaning, he twitched the corners of his mouth without smiling, but he quickly thought about how to make Shen Miaoping look ugly.

However, Shen Miaoping was unwilling to argue with the idiot, he knew that the situation would definitely be unfavorable to him if he stayed any longer, he didn't see that the eyes of the literati who were looking for fun were about to tear him apart, so he immediately made an excuse to leave: "Ah , unfortunately, I suddenly remembered that there is still something at home, and next time we meet, I will have a drink with Brother Liu and say goodbye."

Damn, I'll take Qian Tong to the door of the brothel to wrap his sack, and I'll call him out!

"Hey, what are you going to do? Later, the two girls from Chunxiaolou, Yinfeng and Xueyi, will come out to compete poetry and perform. It would be a pity not to see it."

Liu Zhenhu said that he would let go of the woman in his arms, stepped forward to block his way, and then stretched his voice and suddenly realized: "Oh~, is it because I was afraid that Xie Erlang would catch you here for fun, and in a fit of anger, he would put you to rest. Is it done?"

Before he finished speaking, there was laughter all around, and a scholar who had already fallen out of the class said coldly: "Of course he is afraid, otherwise this official position may not be guaranteed!"

Shen Miaoping seemed to be the target of the public, but he did not panic at all, shook his head and smiled, "Brother Liu is right and wrong, I married Xie Erlang because I liked him and respected him in my heart, and naturally I would not find others to block his eyes. It hurts his heart, it's really a new official taking office here today, I invite you brothers to have a drink, if it wasn't for Brother Liu, you stopped me, I'm afraid I'd be home now."

Liu Zhenhu smiled contemptuously: "It's just nice to say, maybe you came here to sneak a peek at the beauty, you can't eat it, you can just take a look."

Playing jokes with Shen Miaoping was like going into the toilet with a lantern and courting death.

"If Brother Liu really falls in love with someone one day, then in this world, except for her, no matter how beautiful the skin is, it will be fleeting for you."
