Chapter 66: One hundred thousand taels of ransom
"A test? What test?"
Wu Yuan also became interested.
The young woman immediately said with a smile: "The test is if you can match up with our Phoenix Restaurant, or if you can write a poem that impresses our oiran, you will be qualified to compete with other young masters for the opportunity to spend a night with the oiran."
Wu Yuan couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard that there were so many broken rules.
"You've already sold it out, and you're still pretending to be aloof. It's really troublesome." Wu Yuan deliberately said bastard words in order to appear more coquettish.
The young woman was not surprised at all. Any young master who comes out to play has no temper.
The bigger your temper, the more extraordinary your background, and the easier it is to entertain you.
"Young Master, we courtesans are not prostitutes, but they are still in perfect condition. Or should we say that they are courtesans? Because here, they are just like a green lotus, which comes out of the mud and remains unstained, so it is valuable."
The young woman spoke very directly, but she also knew how to capture a man's appetite.
Wu Yuan also smiled, "That's true. It makes people's hearts tickle. Today, this young master, the oiran, is going to make a bet. Let me see what kind of match it is."
Behind them, Yan Fei and Yan Miao watched Wu Yuanzhen go towards the oiran, with complicated expressions.
But there was disappointment in his eyes.
The young woman led Wu Yuan to the main hall, where many tables were set up and all of them were full of people.
Although there was food and drink, you could tell at a glance that these people were thinking about the pairs hanging above.
There are many pairs, and they are all quite deep.
There is no ink in my stomach, so I really can’t say it.
Wu Yuan took a casual look and focused on a room on the second floor.
The door to the room is open, so you can just see the excitement outside.
Wu Yuan also saw at a glance Wu Zheng, Prime Minister Wen, and another person sitting in the room.
The man looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was.
It was Yan Fei who saw the confusion in Wu Yuan's eyes and immediately whispered in Wu Yuan's ear: "That's Qiao Dashan, the Minister of Industry."
Minister of the Ministry of Industry?
Wu Yuan was a little surprised.
But in the blink of an eye, he looked at these three people with narrowed eyes.
Preparations for the construction of his instant noodle factory have begun this afternoon, with the Ministry of Industry being the main force in the construction.
From this point of view, it was not a good thing to see Qiao Dashan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, drinking with Wu Zheng and Prime Minister Wen.
At this time, Yan Fei added: "Qiao Dashan is Prime Minister Wen's brother-in-law."
When Wu Yuan heard that there was still such a relationship, he knew that this Qiao Dashan was destined to be on his opposite side.
It seems that the construction of this instant noodle factory will not be smooth sailing.
The three of them were chatting while looking at the excitement below, looking aloof and uncomfortable.
In Wu Yuan's position, he didn't have to worry about being discovered.
Moreover, even an acquaintance might not recognize his appearance without looking carefully.
"Is there any way you can get close to them and get some information?"
When Yan Fei heard Wu Yuan's words, she shook her head solemnly, "There are two masters over there, they are difficult to deal with, and they are very vigilant."
At this time, Yan Miao suddenly volunteered and said: "I have a way, just leave it to me."
Without giving Wu Yuan and Yan Fei time to object, Yan Miao had already slipped away.
As for what Yan Miao will do, Wu Yuan and Yan Feiduo don't know.
Yan Fei wanted to pursue him, but she was worried about Wu Yuan's safety, so she had to let Yan Miao go.
"Where has your maid gone?" the young woman asked curiously.
Wu Yuan prevaricated casually: "Go to the latrine, go and pick off the first couplet, I already have the right one."
Seeing Wu Yuan point casually, the young woman was a little speechless.
"Master, why don't you write it down first so that others can be convinced." The young woman said with an apologetic smile.
Wu Yuan sneered, "It seems like you little bitch doesn't believe me, so whatever, I told you to write it."
The young woman was not annoyed, she pulled her already low chest, picked up the pen on the table and waited for Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan is not wordy either. The first couplet is, "The green water is originally worry-free, but the wind wrinkles the face."
"The second couplet of my young master is that the green mountains are not old, but the snow is white."
The young woman who wrote the novel had no expectations for Wu Yuan.
Because Wu Yuan really doesn't look like a talented young man, he just looks like a young hooligan who has been in the society for a long time.
But as soon as the second couplet came out, the young woman was immediately shocked.
Finally, with Wu Yuan’s reminder, I quickly wrote the second line.
"The young master is really talented, and the little girl admires him."
After that, the young woman hurriedly found someone to hang up the couplet, so that everyone would see it.
As expected, the second couplet shocked everyone as soon as it came out.
Even Prime Minister Wen, who was watching the excitement on the second floor, couldn't help but praise after seeing this pair: "I never expected that there are such talented people in this land of romance."
Wu Zheng curled his lips in disdain, "Most of them are just poor scholars. Not surprisingly, they are here for the oiran."
Qiao Dashan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, his eyes lit up when he heard the word oiran.
"I heard that the courtesan of Phoenix Restaurant is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is born with a body fragrance that makes butterflies dance for her. She is called a flower fairy descending to the earth."
When Wu Zheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I did spend a lot of money to find this oiran, but if Mr. Qiao likes it, I have an idea."
When Qiao Dashan heard this, he immediately became energetic.
"The Second Highness is joking. Others don't know, but I know that the owner behind the Phoenix Restaurant is you, the Second Highness. How you want to deal with this oiran is a matter of more than just one sentence."
Qiao Dashan's original intention was to make Wu Zheng stop going around the bush and give him the oiran as soon as possible.
Wu Zheng sneered, "It's a pity that this courtesan is very arrogant. Even I don't have the power to influence her. Otherwise, this woman may have to die to realize her ambition."
"How can this woman be so strong?" Qiao Dashan was very surprised.
Wu Zheng nodded, "That's natural, but as long as Mr. Qiao likes you, I can still find a way to help Mr. Qiao win the beauty."
"Then thank you very much, Your Highness. If this is the case, I will definitely not disappoint His Highness the things you have entrusted me with."
Wu Zheng was not surprised at all by Qiao Dashan's words. If he had not known Qiao Dashan's character, he would not have held a banquet here.
"Although this oiran is arrogant, he is determined to find a talented man. If Mr. Qiao can match these pairs and write a few good poems, wouldn't this beauty be easily captured?"
Hearing this, Qiao Dashan said angrily: "Your Highness, please don't ridicule me. You can ask me to do construction, but you can ask me to recite poems and write poems, but it will be difficult for me."
"Look what you said, isn't our Prime Minister Wen still here? In addition, I also invited a talented man from Jiangnan to come over, and I guarantee that Mr. Qiao will shine tonight."
