Xu Rong's Minister of Works was not a high-ranking official among the Beijing officials, but as soon as he was close to the ruling faction, more importantly, his father Xu Han, who was the only prime minister, had never mentioned the candidate for the left prime minister several years ago. Although Xu Han's authority was repeatedly narrowed under the participation of several princes and princesses, the prime minister had already reached the will of the emperor and ruled the people. Civil and military officials followed his horse's leadership and had a transcendent status. Xu Rong's status also rose with the rise.

There are many people from Zangyunfang who came to Zangyunfang today. When they saw Xu Rong coming forward to say hello, everyone knew that Xu Rong could wait for his bare hands to stay in the temple in the future and then curry favor with him. Xu Rong was also polite. He returned the gifts to the gifts he came to see, but was directly arranged on the first floor to be the eye. After a while, the courtesan came out and even savored him clearly, and could observe the beauty of the candidate courtesan.

"People are so angry that people are more angry." Wang Hu sighed a little, "He is only one year older than the student, and he took the exam one year earlier. Look at his virtue, isn't it because of his father? What kind of ability can he have? Lice are also ripe in the Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Works for a few years."

Liu Yuxin said that these playboys also like to compete, but in comparison, the Ministry of Justice is indeed more important than the worker, which is just a matter of opinion. He asked with a smile: "Why don't you curry favor with me?"

Wang Hu said disdainfully: "His father is the prime minister, his father is also the minister. He will not go together even if he has disagreement in politics!"

Seeing Xu Rong arrive, the plan is half successful. Since Xu Rong is willing to spend 4,000 taels to redeem Li Zhe'er, he doesn't mind spending more than 1,000 taels of silver to taste the sweetness first. Liu Yu, who was about to watch the show, suddenly found three big acquaintances coming in at the door. As soon as he came in, he looked around, looked up and saw Liu Yu, and ran towards this side happily.

Sui Yi and Li Mi led the young follower Hu Xuan.

"Brother Liu, I thought you would have been regained after getting married. I said it was a pity that I couldn't invite you to see the fun. I didn't expect you to meet you here." Sui Yi didn't care about any rules and directly moved a chair next to Liu Yu. "This is a good location, it looks bright. That young master Wang, can you move to the side so that my two brothers can sit down."

If Wang Hu is the kind of young master of the official family who is unwilling to reveal his wealth, Sui Yi would be the one who takes ten thousand taels of gold and spend money. This is the benefit of first making money and then becoming an official. Even if he becomes corrupt in the future, it can be said that he earned when doing business. It is really difficult to check the property these days. Liu Yu didn't want to invite him but didn't want him to make trouble. If Li Zhe'er's courtesan was contested by Sui Yi, wouldn't the plan to capture Xu Rong be ruined?

Li Mi and Hu Xuan also moved their chairs and squeezed Wang Hu aside. Wang Hu was a little unhappy, thinking that such a talentless and unambitious gentleman was rushing to get close to him, but in front of him was the young Yin of the Jingfu who had just given him fifty boards. His father and the fourth princess meant that he would be the first to serve in Jingzhao Mansion. Sui Yi was not guilty of him.

"Sui Shaoyin, I wonder if these two are?" Wang Hu saw that he was left alone, so he had to take the initiative to say hello.

Li Mi and Hu Xuan each reported their names. When Wang Hu learned that Li Mi was the commander of the Yunanmen Defense Department's Office, he was a little surprised because he had heard his father say that the most he could not afford to be the officials of the various Defense Department's Office. No matter who wants to be the crown prince to inherit the throne, it depends on the expressions of these people. Hu Xuan was a commoner, and Wang Hu didn't take it too seriously. Two of the three people were guilty. Wang Hu, who had always been above the top, was a little depressed. He thought that this gentleman was not simple, and there were many capable people around him, so he had to sit aside in a muffled voice.

Sui Yi smiled and said, "It is reported that Li Zheer has a talent that he has sacrificed himself to compete for the courtesan. That person is not... Brother Liu, are you?"

"What does Sui Shaoyin mean?"

Liu Yu didn't say anything, Wang Hu on the side asked first. Sui Yi glanced at Wang Hu without saying a word. Liu Yu asked, "Who did you hear?"

"Who else should I tell you?" Sui Yi said, "Now anyone who has come to Zangyunfang knows that Xu's surname is 4,000 taels to redeem Li Zhe'er, she doesn't do anything. This time she actually took the initiative to ask the brothel to compete for the courtesan. If Li Zhe'er had no such scene, would Zangyunfang suddenly make such a big move? "

Liu Yu said angrily: "I'm asking who you heard about what you said has something to do with me."

Sui Yi smiled and said, "Actually, I'm guessing. You won the shooting that day, and Li Zheer promised to sweep the bed and wait, so she went back to sweep it shyly. I don't know what the sweeping was like, what did you put on?"

Hu Xuan reminded on the side: "Let the pigeons."

"Yes, it's just a pigeon. Later, she sent you an invitation. Unexpectedly, you took the fourth princess with you. When the fourth princess said she wanted to make you a good thing, Li Zheer's expression was clearly willing, but you gave up again after winning. If you hadn't been interested in this time, she would be willing to bend down to compete for the courtesan? I was a little suspicious at first, but now seeing Brother Liu, you came uninvited. Is this doubt a confirmation?"

Liu Yu looked calm and did not answer. Sui Yi smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry. Since I'm here, how can you disappoint you? As long as you say, no matter how much money you have, we will be able to grab the courtesan today!"

"No need, I don't care who you want to compete today, but I have only one requirement. Li Zheer will appear later, and you are not allowed to compete."

Sui Yi was quite surprised and said, "Why is this?"

"The reason will be explained later, but today you can do it as I want."

The preparations for the courtesan election in Zangyunfang were almost done, and the guests were almost filled with the entire city. The women who performed the dance at the venue retreated. The madam, the maid, made a polite look, and then brought the twelve ladies who were running for today to the courtesan election together with the maid. Li Zhe'er's figure was hidden among the crowd. The pale blue dress did not look gorgeous, and looked more like a little girl. As soon as she appeared, many people turned their eyes on her. Looking at her by many eyes, Li Zhe'er was a little panicked and kept hanging her head lightly.

A voice came from somewhere and said, "Madam, did you win the beauty and the maid into the room? It's so satisfying to sleep with the same sleep!"

There was a burst of laughter in the audience. The madam's mother smiled and said, "Studying a good night with the beauty, wouldn't it be a pity to have a third party present?"

Xu Rong, who was only three feet away from the platform, stood up, waved his folding fan and smiled, "I'm not saying this, I should not spend a good night with a beautiful woman, you should not be more beautiful than before. If you bring the maid into the room and enjoy it, that is the real blessing of the whole person in life."

Liu Yuxin said that Xu Rong was really unsatisfied. He could win Li Zheer's first three nights and had to add a maid to enjoy the blessing of the people. Li Zheer's maid was only fifteen or sixteen years old and did not look beautiful. She could only be said to have a normal appearance. With Xu Rong's eyes, he would not have fallen in love with Xu Rong's mentality at this time. Li Zheer used to be arrogant. If he had to share favor with a maid with a humble background when he broke his body, this was also a disguised ridicule, and it could make Xu Rong feel a sense of pleasure of revenge and fulfilling his wish.

The madam said: "Since even Mr. Xu said so, I had to make an exception once, but those who won the beauty's return would have to pay an extra ten taels of silver."

Unexpectedly, the maids were placed on the table by the madam's words, and their expressions were a little unparalleled. At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door. Several turtle men in Zangyunfang seemed to be arguing with someone. After a few quarrels, they heard crackling sounds. Then they saw several men in Hu's uniform, tall and tall, and looked at them with a fierce look.

This is also part of Liu Yu's plan. These Hu people are all pretended to be sergeant of the Imperial Guards, and some even go to the north of the Great Wall for many years to conduct secret talks, which can be said to be more like the real ones.

When the madam saw someone who was not an official sect came in, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Masters, this is the place of the official family. Please come back quickly and don't cause any official trouble."

"Why are you going to let other brothels go in? If you change it, you will be turned away? Do you look down on us and are afraid that we can't afford to pay?" A "Hu man" at present took off a wallet from his waist with a strong northern accent, threw it on the ground, and his pockets spread out, gold scattered all over the floor, "Is this enough?"

Xu Rong didn't expect someone to make trouble today and said sternly: "Why are the common people who are easily entering the office? If you want to come in, it's better to take the imperial examinations as the only one to get fame and fortune!"
