Zhou Chen was also very surprised when he met Meng Zhi unexpectedly. He was distracted just now, so he didn't notice that he passed by Meng Zhi's mansion.
Meng Zhi was different from others. He was the second best master of Langya. It was normal for him to pass by his mansion without concealing it and be discovered.
Normally, he would be interested in having a fight with Meng Zhi, but the situation and environment just now were not very good, so he would break up at the first touch and leave quickly.
Meng Zhi was also on Mei Changsu's side, and he had no worries that Meng Zhi would sell him out.
It was almost midnight, and Zhou Chen finally arrived at his destination, a street in the famous "red light district" of Jinling City. As one of the most high-end brothels in Jinling City, Miaoyinfang was naturally very easy to find.
Although it was almost midnight, Miaoyinfang was still quite lively.
Compared with modern society, there are really few entertainment methods in this era. Brothel is one of the most popular entertainment methods, followed by hunting, picnics, etc., which are basically played by rich people and are completely different from ordinary people.
Not compatible.
There are also casinos, but casinos cannot be opened openly and openly like brothels. They are all open secretly, but the traffic and popularity are obviously not comparable to brothels.
Zhou Chen took off his mask, threw away the outer robe, revealing the brocade clothes underneath, and walked out of the dark alley, with his hands behind his back, and walked towards the entrance of Miaoyinfang with a relaxed and leisurely expression.
"Sir, you are here, please come inside!"
When the boy at the door saw Zhou Chen, he immediately came up to him with laughter and bowed his waist in salute. His attitude was very respectful, which indeed makes people feel superior.
Zhou Chen didn't put on any airs, he took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it to the boy.
The young man took the broken silver very quickly, grinned exaggeratedly, and complimented loudly: "Thank you for your reward, thank you for your reward, sir, please come in."
Although most of the people who come to Miaoyinfang are high-ranking officials, 99% of them won't give them a second glance, and even fewer will give tips.
It’s not that the guests are reluctant or stingy. How many of the people who can come to Miaoyinfang have no money?
It's just that they don't take these boys seriously at all. Isn't it good to reward girls with money?
Zhou Chen just acted out of habit, and walked into Miaoyinfang with the compliments of the servant.
As soon as he entered, he saw the bustling lobby. There were many guests sitting in the lobby on the first floor. He just glanced at it and showed no interest.
Soon, a woman in her thirties, lightly wearing makeup and wearing a bright smile came up to her.
"Sir, you are here, is there a girl you know?"
Zhou Chen glanced at the woman who must be the Madam. She didn't know if this woman was a secret agent of the Jiang Zuo Alliance.
"I'm familiar with your girl Gong Yu from Miaoyinfang. I wonder if you can arrange for me to meet her?"
The Madam's expression froze, she didn't expect this rather strange young master to look for Miss Gong Yu as soon as he came up.
However, she soon smiled and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, Master. Miss Gong Yu is not feeling well today. She can't see guests or play. Master, you'd better find someone else. We at Miaoyinfang still have
There are many girls who are good at music, such as..."
Zhou Chen didn't wait for her to continue and said again: "Go and tell Miss Gong Yu that my surname is Chen and I come from Feiyu Courtyard. She will meet me."
"This..." The old bustard looked embarrassed.
Zhou Chen's eyes narrowed and he asked in a cold tone: "What? Can't you just send a message?"
The old bustard was startled. This young master, who looked very kind, had a cold face, which was really scary, so he immediately replied: "Sir, please sit down first, I will go and send a message."
The madam called someone over and asked Zhou Chen to sit down. Then he went upstairs and arrived at Gong Yu's residence. He knocked on the door gently.
"girl."
"Come in."
The madam pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Gong Yu wiping his guqin.
Gong Yu saw the madam coming in and asked, "Aunt Hong, is something wrong?"
"Girl, there is a young man outside. He looks very unfamiliar to me. He must be here for the first time. He said he is familiar with you and wants to meet you."
Gong Yu looked surprised. She had many acquaintances, but it would be strange for the young master who came here for the first time to say he was an acquaintance of hers.
"Did he say anything else?"
"He said his surname is Chen and he comes from Feiyu Xiaoyuan."
When Gong Yu heard this, she stood up suddenly. Even the guqin in front of her was knocked to the ground by her. This guqin was her favorite guqin, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she asked Aunt Hong nervously.
"He, he really said that?"
Aunt Hong was very surprised. She had never seen Gong Yu act so panicked before.
"Yes, that's what he said."
Gong Yu suddenly became even more panicked and didn't know where to put his hands.
"Quick, take me to see him."
Aunt Hong looked shocked: "Girl, this is not good."
She meant that Gong Yu shouldn't go downstairs to meet people, but Gong Yu misunderstood her meaning.
Gong Yu immediately lowered his head and looked at his clothes, then quickly took the bronze mirror next to him and took a look. Seeing his attire, he seemed very dissatisfied.
"Yes, it's too bad for me to look like this. Aunt Hong, go and bring him here."
"Bring it to you, girl?" Aunt Hong was even more surprised. Who is that young master to make Gong Yu so nervous?
"Yes, Aunt Hong, come over quickly. Don't keep him waiting. I'll tidy up the room first."
Aunt Hong was pushed out of the room by Gong Yu in confusion. She began to wonder who the young master downstairs was that would make Gong Yu so rude. At the same time, she was also wondering whether she should tell Mr. Thirteen first. After all,
These people are all under the control of Mr. Thirteen.
But I thought that Mr. Thirteen had gone out not long ago and had not come back yet. There was no way to tell him, so I could only follow Gong Yu's instructions and go downstairs to take Zhou Chen.
"Mr. Chen, Miss Gong Yu invites you."
Zhou Chen followed Aunt Hong upstairs. When he passed by a half-opened private room, he happened to see what was going on inside, and a smile appeared on his face.
He was an acquaintance. He had seen him before when he was a child. He was the prince in the past and the current Prince Ji.
To be honest, if we want to say who is the smartest, the most transparent, and the most comfortable in the entire drama "Nirvana in Fire", then King Ji is definitely the one.
It is no exaggeration to say that Prince Ji is definitely the object of admiration for countless people in modern society. He has truly achieved the level of Prince Xiaoyao and is a role model for countless princes.
He had great wisdom and knew how to advance and retreat. Not only was he able to protect himself in front of the suspicious Emperor Liang, he was also able to do his best to help many people in need.
He clearly knew that he was being used, but he was still willing to be used.
If it weren't for Prince Ji's cooperation, many of Mei Changsu's plans would probably be difficult to implement.
The most important thing is that he deceived almost everyone, and finally Mei Changsu noticed it.
Considering King Ji's character and hobbies, it is completely normal for him to appear in Miaoyinfang.
Born into a royal family, if he had no interest in the throne, Prince Ji's life would actually be the most comfortable.
Although there was also the music of silk and bamboo upstairs, it was obviously much quieter than downstairs. Zhou Chen followed Aunt Hong, and the place he passed became quieter and quieter, until he came to a doorway, and Aunt Hong stopped.
steps.
"Miss Gong Yu is inside. Mr. Chen, I will send you here. Please come."
After saying that, she twisted her body and left slowly.
Zhou Chen stood in front of the door and knocked softly.
Gong Yu, who was still looking in the mirror inside the house, heard a knock on the door. He was surprised but also quite panicked.
She had not seen Zhou Chen for three years, and she often missed him in her heart. Now that she could really see Zhou Chen, she felt very uneasy.
But she still took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door gently.
The next moment, she saw the person she had been thinking about.
Seeing Gong Yu looking at him blankly and saying nothing, Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said softly: "Aren't you going to let me in, or are you just going to talk to me at the door?"
Gong Yu reacted, his face turned slightly red, and he immediately said: "Sir, please come in."
He led Zhou Chen into the room, and then pointed to the lounge chair next to him: "Sir, please sit down."
Zhou Chen looked surprised: "You also prepared lounge chairs here?"
Gong Yu whispered: "I thought that the young master would come to Jinling sooner or later, so I prepared it so that if the young master comes to my place, he can use it."
In fact, she also likes to lie on this recliner, because it was invented by Zhou Chen. Lying on it, she feels that she and Zhou Chen are closer.
