Chapter 345: Yunniang, let

~14 min read 2,697 words

【Although Chenxiang has complaints in her heart, thinking of Su Yun's friend, she reveals a cold smile on her face.】

【"Chenxiang is here, greetings to Young Master Guan." The etiquette is done thoroughly.】

【Chenxiang and Hu Yunniang are both top courtesans of the Moon Splendor Pavilion last year.】

【Chenxiang has held the title of top courtesan for two years, and the guests and connections she has accumulated are deeper than Hu Yunniang's.】

【When the two women hadn't made a name for themselves, they were sisters, and their sisterhood was deep. Last time Hu Yunniang was able to win the top courtesan title as a dark horse, it was because she was pushing behind her.】

【Su Yun, this Su family young master, became the most generous guest of the two women through Chenxiang's introduction.】

【This time, Chenxiang's talent and "set poem" have been prepared.】

【The top courtesans of the Moon Splendor Pavilion only set eight seats in the past, which was very rare.】

【Today's Flowers Banquet is different. In the past, the three families ranked separately. Now, the three families of Moon Splendor Pavilion, Purple Xiao Pavilion, and Qimo Spring Workshop each send twelve top courtesans to attend the grand event and decide the top ten rankings.】

【Whether it is the scale or the intensity, it far exceeds the past.】

【The Moon Splendor Pavilion attaches great importance to this grand event. If they can enter the top ten, not only will there be a reward of ten thousand gold.】

【There is also a "redemption" qualification.】

【Counting the decades of style of the Flowers Banquet, this is an unprecedented thing.】

【Top courtesans are the cash cows and treasure bowls of brothels, how could they easily let go.】

【This is simply a fantasy. Not to mention the Moon Splendor Pavilion, the other two families, the girls inside didn't dare to believe it, so they inquired around and learned that they also offered the same conditions.】

【Having the qualification for "redemption" can obtain a "good person" status. For those top courtesans who are trapped in the dust, talented and beautiful, and sought after by thousands, it is like a ray of light in a deep pool.】

【This matter is once in a lifetime, perhaps it is the only opportunity for them to escape the sea of suffering!】

【Some top courtesans even wept with joy upon hearing this good news, not hesitating to scatter thousands of gold, just to fight for this only opportunity in their lives.】

【If it is for freedom, thousands of gold can be thrown away.】

【Precisely because of this, the Flowers Banquet gathered top courtesans like Su Shishi, Sister Nihuang, and Gongsun Gongsun Niangzi Gongsun.】

【The top courtesans don't care much, it's just an addition.】

【Chenxiang and Hu Yunniang, in order to prepare for the Flowers Banquet, have already exhausted their savings for many years and made a desperate gamble.】

【Chen Xiang and Hu Yunniang had long since exhausted their savings of many years, staking everything on a single throw to prepare for the Gathering of Fragrant Flowers.】

【She wanted to grow old silently in this place of smoke and flowers, but she was unwilling, not wanting to sink into the silt.】

【Although she interacted with people in the Moon Splendor Pavilion, deep in her heart, she was unwilling to "go with the flow" with everyone.】

【How can a phoenix associate with cold crows.】

【This Flowers Banquet, for Chenxiang, is undoubtedly a desperate gamble.】

【Facing Su Yun's invitation, you just shake your head gently, having no intention of getting involved in this top courtesan competition.】

【"Xie Guan is shallow in talent, I'm afraid I can't take on the heavy responsibility of Young Master Yun."】

【Su Yun remembers clearly that you won six consecutive games against Chen Jiuyan last time.】

【Seeing your firm expression, Su Yun's disappointment is beyond words.】

【You continue: "Last time it was just a good sentence I got by chance, Xie Guan really has no confidence to make a poem that is not inferior."】

【Su Yun says anxiously: "This time I just need Young Master Guan to help, I, Su Yun, will follow your lead in the future."】

【Chen Yong hears this, his expression stunned, not expecting the Su family young master to make such a heavy promise.】

【You still say: "Sorry, Young Master Yun, I really can't do anything about this."】

【Chen Yong didn't expect your refusal to be so direct, without any room for maneuver.】

【Li Shuwan and the others are silent, seemingly pondering.】

【Xie Xuan's face also has a bit more anger. Su Yun is so humble for you, what did he count as before when he interacted with Su Yun?】

【Hu Yunniang's face also doesn't know what expression to make. She has always been at ease with everything, but now the Flowers Banquet is coming, and she is anxious in her heart, so she doesn't know how to speak for a while.】

【Chenxiang's face has a bit more impatience. They have been waiting hard, just hoping for your arrival.】

【If they delay any longer, I'm afraid they will really miss the opportunity to take the stage at the Flowers Banquet.】

【However, you are unwilling to agree.】

【Chenxiang walks over gracefully, with a cold look on her face, squeezing out a smile: "And Hu Yunniang have already prepared the topic, why don't Young Master Guan take a look first."】

【"Otherwise, we and Young Master Su Yun waited so long, wouldn't it be waiting in vain..."】

【Her tone has a bit more "sarcastic" meaning.】

【Zhang Yunzhi frowns slightly. There is no reason for "forced buying and selling" in the world. This matter has nothing to do with Xie Guan, and whether to help or not, Xie Guan had already refused before.】

【You don't speak.】

【Chenxiang ponders: "If, Young Master Guan is afraid of not being able to do it, that's fine."】

【She looks at Hu Yunniang: "Yunniang, let's go."】

【Chenxiang's tone is getting worse. Waiting for Xie Guan for so long for Su Yun, she has long had resentment.】

【You raise your head slowly, your face still calm.】

【Chen Yong strokes the civet cat in his arms, his eyes flashing with playful light. He knows deeply that if you were not born as a humble concubine-born son, but a prominent junior of the Nine Great Clans like Xie Yuan or Xie Renfeng, this top courtesan of the Moon Splendor Pavilion would definitely not dare to be so presumptuous.】

【Su Yun finally interrupts Chenxiang's complaint: "Chenxiang, that's enough. We didn't come here for an argument."】

【Chenxiang doesn't speak anymore. Su Yun is the biggest gold master of the two women now.】

【In fact, for this Flowers Banquet, Su Yun has long been fully prepared, whether it is the massive gold and silver needed to buy "flower hairpins" for the top courtesans, or the topics he bet on the two top courtesans, they have long been set, and he has invited many poetry society people and even Academy people to write poems.】

【However, even so, he always feels something is missing, not feeling the exclamation he felt from the residual poem Xie Guan wrote in the Hongjing Courtyard.】

【Su Yun sighs: "I disturbed you."】

【Li Shuwan also speaks at the right time, "Young Master Yun, now the Flowers Banquet is about to begin, it is indeed too late to let Young Master Guan improvise poetry."】

【Su Yun hears this, can't help but recall the two hours you were delayed on the road.】

【He originally planned to invite Xie Guan to the Moon Splendor Pavilion first, and make poems under the whispers of a group of top courtesans.】

【Now, time is not enough, the Flowers Banquet is about to open, Xie Guan just arrived, there is no time!】

【I was actually confused!】

【Su Yun can't help but laugh at himself, he actually had too high expectations for you because of the residual poem his grandfather mentioned. You are just an ordinary scholar reading silently in the small courtyard, how can you be required to write wonderful poems every time?】

【"I was abrupt, let's leave it at that."】

【Su Yun is also a straightforward person, since he knows there is no result, he has turned around and prepared to leave.】

【Hu Yunniang wants to speak but stops, one side is a close friend who has helped her repeatedly, the other side is Su Yun.】

【Facing this Xie Guan, she didn't have high hopes like Su Yun, just comforting: "Young Master Yun, please don't worry, the poems we prepared are also from the hands of the Academy's great scholars, the chance of winning is not zero."】

【Su Yun nods slowly: "That's all it can be."】

【Everyone prepares to leave.】

【Chenxiang, about to leave, restores that cold state, her chin raised slightly, laughing: "Young Master Guan, see you at the Flowers Banquet."】

【The carriage goes further and further, eventually disappearing from sight.】

【Everyone came in a hurry; everyone left in a hurry.】

【It seems like just a spring rain blew by.】

【Xie Yuan looks at the sound of horse hooves going away, can't help but ask: "Brother Guan, this Young Master Su is now a figure of the wind and clouds in Bianjing, he treats you so sincerely, it is really rare."】

【"Whether it succeeds or fails, it is actually a favor."】

【"Refusing like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have any intersection in the future."】

【You just shake your head gently, without any explanation.】

【Su Yun's grandfather, Su Jing, seems to have a different heart for you. The lame old man respectfully calls Su Jing Master, and the killing intent he radiates is more intense than Shen Kuan's.】

【You don't want to have any involvement with the Su residence.】

【Xie Yuan jokes: "Brother Guan, you are really amazing. Today you only saw two top courtesans, and you made them anxious for you."】

【You shake your head helplessly.】

【Li Shuwan suggests: "Let's set off too, the Flowers Banquet is about to begin."】

【Xie Ling has long been impatient, she is afraid of missing the opening performance of the Moon Splendor Pavilion's top courtesan, Sister Nihuang.】

【"Set off quickly."】

【The few board the carriage and head to the Flowers Banquet.】

【Chen Yong goes alone, as a prince, he has to go to the Invite Immortal Pavilion.】

【Li Shuwan, Zhang Yuzhi, and Xie Ling ride in one carriage.】

【Xie Yuan quietly pulls you to another carriage behind, his eyes revealing a trace of inexplicable "ambiguity."】

【"Show you a good treasure!"】

【You feel strange, Xie Yuan lowers his voice in your ear: "Brother Guan, do you remember the sister I told you about last time."】

【In your mind appears what Xie Yuan said in the small courtyard at that time, "That sister is plump, her figure is plump, and she is a little older than us. When she sits on top... I heard Xie Houer say it is a white jade Guanyin sitting upside down on a lotus, the whole body is floating, it is really a fairy who won't change." "Brother Guan, you come and try when you have time..."】

【Your face is stunned.】

【Xie Yuan has pushed you into the carriage, laughing: "Although that sister said she would be with me forever, I naturally won't give her to others, but Brother Guan, you and I are like brothers, naturally we have difficulties together, and have blessings together."】

【You are pushed into the carriage in a daze!】

【Xie Yuan doesn't come in, but instructs the coachman to drive.】

【He shouts outside the carriage: "Brother Guan, you have to cherish sister, she is most afraid of pain..."】

【Xie Yuan laughs.】

【Xie Ling lifts the carriage curtain in front, looking at Xie Yuan, her mouth curling, "Xie Yuan, what are you laughing at? This lewd and ugly look."】

【Xie Yuan gets into another carriage, "Xie Ling, none of your business!"】

Muzhu sits quietly in the carriage.

Hearing the footsteps coming from outside, her white jade-like hands unconsciously cover her plump chest, her heart beating like a drum, the exaggerated amplitude rising and falling, and her expression is also dyed with a touch of nervousness and shyness.

Especially when the voice of her own young master, Xie Yuan, rings out, "Show you a good treasure!"】

Muzhu's cheeks are instantly flushed, secretly shy in her heart, this so-called "good treasure" clearly refers to herself.

Recalling not long ago, under the careful arrangement of Gongsun Gongsun Niangzi Zhuge, Muzhu became the concubine-maid of Young Master Xie Yuan, and that night, dots of bright red remained on the white cloth.

Selected by Gongsun Gongsun Niangzi Zhuge since childhood, Muzhu is not only graceful in figure, gentle in temperament, but also knows how to be considerate and take care of people.

Serving the young master, she has long been prepared.

Muzhu's heart is actually full of "sweetness." Young Master Xie Yuan is not only handsome in appearance, but also a young master who is deeply favored in the residence, with a bright future.

Moreover, he has not experienced the feelings between men and women, and the two can be said to be "mutually affectionate," and Xie Yuan favors her even more.

Although Muzhu was born humble and dare not hope to sit in the position of a legitimate wife in the future, being taken as a concubine is already a great honor for her.

Now, Young Master Xie Yuan is in his prime, first understanding the affairs between men and women, curious about this matter, and feeling happy, relying on her more and more.

This should have been a happy thing!

However!

Not long ago, the young master suddenly proposed that he wanted to share such joy with Brother Guan.

When these words reached her ears, she instantly cried like rain, "Brother Yuan, I am already your person, how can I do such a thing? Even if it is a brother, it shouldn't be like this..."

Xie Yuan's attitude was firm, "I am like brothers with Brother Guan, mine is his, no need to distinguish between you and me."】

【"If you are so determined not to agree, so unkind to my brother, then there is nothing to say, and you and I don't need to see each other again."】

Muzhu knows Xie Yuan's temperament deeply, and with Xie Yuan's status in Gongsun Gongsun Niangzi Zhuge's heart, if there is a dispute about this matter, only she will be wrong.

There is indeed a precedent in the residence of giving maidservants to old coachmen and slaves.

In the end, she was forced to agree to this matter.

Xie Yuan said happily: "This is my good sister."】

Thus, this scene appeared.

Muzhu is now in the carriage, waiting shyly for the young master's "Brother Guan" to arrive.

Thinking of what is about to happen, Muzhu's face is even more flushed, "In this carriage..."

She hasn't tried this kind of thing in the carriage yet.

Moreover, who is this Xie Guan, I don't know if he is tall, short, fat, or thin, if he is ugly, full of sores... if he is someone who doesn't know how to cherish fragrance and pity jade... only knowing how to mess around with brute force...

Her heart can't be calm.

At this time!

The carriage curtain is pushed open, and someone is squeezed in.

The young master's words ring out outside the carriage, "Brother Guan, you have to cherish sister, she is most afraid of pain..."】

Muzhu swallows her saliva, secretly saying "It's here!"】

There is one more person in the carriage, and the carriage moves slowly.

Muzhu sits in the carriage, her face nervous, not daring to look up.

After waiting for a while, there is no movement.

She looks up timidly.

Only to see!

The youth is wearing a plain robe, his figure as straight as a pine.

His jet-black long hair is tied with a jade hairpin, and the light falling through the gap in the carriage curtain reflects half of his cheek, which is extremely handsome and delicate, and his eyebrows reveal an indescribable elegant aura, making people feel good.】

"What a handsome youth!"】
