Chapter Two Three Smiles
Feng Niang and Lu Xiaochai were both stunned for a moment, and the scene became quiet.
After all, Feng Niang came over the wind and waves. How could she be scared by Chen Xian's sudden voice? After being stunned for two seconds, she raised her hand and pointed at Chen Xian, raising her neck like a cock-fighting voice and shouted: "What are you saying enough? Being a scholar?"
She is known for her fierce business in her brothels, and now she speaks very quickly: "Don't say you are just a scholar who has been deprived of his fame. Go and inquire about what are the identities of my regular customers in Huancai Building!"
Seeing that Chen Xian was stripped of his skin for a few words, Lu Xiaochai felt uncomfortable when she was afraid that he would be stripped of his fame and fortune. So she bit her teeth and wanted to interrupt and help her. Suddenly, a cold hand was pressed on her shoulder, suffocating the words in her mouth.
"Haha!" Chen Xian smiled. He pressed down on Lu Xiaochai's shoulders with confusion on his face. After the latter sat down, he whispered in her ear: "Xiaochai, I'll do it."
"Why are you laughing?" Feng Niang was frightened by Chen Xian's sudden laughter. Could it be that this kid was crazy when he stayed in prison?
Thinking of this, she looked back at the two waiters standing behind her holding a wooden stick, and felt relieved, so she continued to work hard: "Laugh, just laugh, I see that you are so poor that you are already suffering from ignorance. You see no future, maybe it is better for you to gain ignorance..."
Chen Xian completely ignored Feng Niang's humiliation, but instead sat down quietly to add tea to his and Lu Xiaochai's teacup.
Feng Niang's narrow phoenix eyes were wide open. Chen Xian not only ignored him, but even made tea? What did he think this was? Who did he think he was?
"I'll ask you to drink!" For a moment, she felt that Chen Xian's ignorance of her was a naked insult, so she stomped forward, raised her hand and hit the tea on the table.
"Ba." Her hand had just raised, but her wrist was tightly held.
Chen Xian snorted lightly, pinched her wrist and stood up.
"You want to know what I laugh at?" He let go of Feng Niang's wrist, and the latter hurriedly took two steps back and hid behind a waiter who was eyeing him and looked over.
"A smile, you violate the five normal and eight virtues, are unkind and unrighteous and rude. If a guest has a disease but does not keep it, it is unkind; if you expose a person's scars and add insult to injury, it is unrighteous. If you speak out a red mouth and a vicious tongue, you are aggressive, it is unrighteous."
"I laughed again, you are a brothel's mother in vain, but you don't understand the nature of destiny, and the way of nature is the way of Tao. I and Xiaochai are in love and ritual. This is the way of heaven and human relations, but you go against the heavens."
"Sanxiao, your Feng Niang claims to be a brothel for more than ten years and has seen countless people, but she doesn't know the truth that 'the clothes are originally for covering the body. I hope you are shameless at this time, and I advise you not to forget the foundation of others, so that you can find the fig leaf'."
After hearing this, Feng Niang opened her mouth but didn't say anything for a long time, as if she had not organized a counterattack language yet.
Lu Xiaochai looked at Chen Xian in a daze, feeling that the image of this lover was a little taller than before. How could this be the insulting scholar he knew? Could it be that he really changed his sexual desire in the center of prison?
"Miss, Miss!" Xiaoli's cheerful voice came in from outside the door, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a little maid who had not yet melted from snow and rushed in.
"Buy medicine back..." As soon as Xiaoli entered the house, he saw the confrontation between Feng Niang and Chen Xian, and his cheerful voice became stuttering: "Miss, I bought medicine back..."
She put the medicine on the small table next to the door and tiptoed to exit. However, Feng Niang glanced at the little maid with her narrow eyes and scolded impatiently: "If you buy it, go to decoct the medicine! What are you going to do when you go out now!"
"Oh!" Xiaoli got the order and grabbed Yao Fei and escaped.
The tense atmosphere was dispersed by Xiaoli. Feng Niang looked at Chen Xian squintly, as if she was thinking about something, while Lu Xiaochai nervously clutched her sleeves, her head slightly drooped and did not dare to say anything.
Only Chen Xian, who had just blocked Feng Niang and couldn't speak, brewed a cup of tea for himself and tasted it leisurely.
"Chen Xian, I can keep you for a few nights." After a while, Feng Niang seemed to be relieved. He walked to Chen Xian in two steps, looked at Lu Xiaochai, who was bowing his head and said calmly, and then slowed down his tone: "Do you know that if it is for Xiaochai's good, you should not be obsessed with her anymore."
"Feng Niang! I'm born..." Lu Xiaochai spoke as soon as she spoke, but was interrupted by Feng Niang's hand.
"Xiaochai even took out the money for herself for the sake of you. If she followed you again, would you live like this for the rest of your life? In a few years, she will be old and lose her lust and will have no money to earn money. How can you stay?" Feng Niang obviously still cherished the courtesan whom she had worked hard to cultivate. When she said this, she sighed quietly, as if she felt something.
"Feng Niang, how much is Xiaochai's worth now?" Chen Xian answered the question indecently.
Feng Niang looked at Chen Xian in a little surprised and said, "Xiaochai was picked up from the road during the flood in the early years. Although she was not a music citizen, she is still the top star in our Huancai Building and the courtesan of Hangzhou City. I have always treated her like a daughter..."
Chen Xian raised his hand: "How many?"
"Two thousand taels." After Feng Niang finished speaking this number, she pinched her waist contemptuously, as if she was waiting to see Chen Xian's subsequent shocked expression.
Chen Xian frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at the brothel with his eyes burning, and said, "It's good if I redeem her for three months?"
"Three months?" Feng Niang was happy. She reached out and shook her hand in front of Chen Xian, reminding her: "You hear it clearly, it's two thousand taels, not twenty taels!"
As if she heard a huge joke, she laughed harder and violently. Finally, she said with trembling whole body: "Don't say that if you give you three months, even if you give you half a year, you can't get this number together."
Chen Xian ignored her sarcasm and contemptuous laughter, but turned his face to look at Lu Xiaochai. This woman was the first ray of sunshine she encountered in this strange world, and also became the only person he missed in this world, and the first bond between his strange soul hundreds of years later and this world.
Chen Xian stared at Lu Xiaochai with his eyes, and said slowly without even raising his head: "Two thousand taels, this is what you said."
Feng Niang felt that the scholar in front of her was indeed crazy, but then she thought that the scholars valued the most, and this might make him discouraged and give up, so she said, "Yes, if you can't make up the two thousand taels of silver within three months, you will die of this heart. Don't bother us Xiaochai again!"
Chen Xian grinned as if he was in a state of terror, then looked up at the madam and threw a sentence that surprised Feng Niang: "But I need to borrow the east wind from Huancai Building."
Speaking of this, he was afraid that Feng Niang would disagree: "You and I will share the money you earn from lending your place. If you earn enough 2,000 taels of silver, you will destroy Xiaochai's contract for selling your body. How about it?"
"What are you borrowing from the east wind?" Feng Niang was stunned. I am a brothel here. Could it be that he wants to sell himself here?
Thinking of this, she glanced at Chen Xian's face, and felt that this kid had a sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, white skin and weak body. If he really sold himself, he could sell it at a good price, but it was a dream to make 2,000 taels of silver in three months by selling himself!
Lu Xiaochai obviously thought of a relationship with Feng Niang. She raised her hand in surprise to cover her mouth and nose, and persuaded anxiously: "Chen Lang, you must not do this. If someone knows, what kind of face do you have to be a human being?"
"What?" Chen Xian glared and scratched his head, then realized that the two of them had a wrong intention, so he burst into laughter: "It's not what you think."
"I won't sell myself, and I won't affect your business in Huancai Building." Chen Xian stretched and said in a plain tone: "It can even make you crowded and full every day."
