Meng Dong
Chapter 29
As soon as Xu Weidan's words were spoken, they immediately aroused discussions among the surrounding people, and most of them nodded in agreement. After all, although the promise made by the treasurer of money just now seemed affectionate, compared with it, Xu Weidan's answer seemed a little bit more serious. It is more normal and more in line with the state of mind of most people present.
This is Qiwu Hall, the most romantic place in Jiangling City.You can talk about poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting here, and even if you are not interested in these, you are just greedy for beauty. The promise of a lifetime seems absurd.
Not to mention Xu Weidan, none of the people present would marry a prostitute back home as his wife in order to win a temporary victory?They came to this Qiwu Hall to add some fun to their lives, so why bother to cause trouble for themselves.
Not to mention that Xu Weidan was born as a general. The old general Xu is upright and well-known in the Chu State. Xu Weidan usually eats, drinks, and has fun. In the eyes, he pampered his only son properly, but the matter of marrying a wife was related to the style of the Xu family, so how could Xu Weidan challenge the majesty of his old father.
The shopkeeper Qian obviously thought so, so after Xu Weidan conceded, he was not surprised at all. He dared to challenge Xu Weidan because he came prepared.Maybe he couldn't compare to Xu Weidan in normal competitions, but with the price he dared to pay for Jiangliu, not to mention Xu Weidan, there were not many people in Jiangling City who could do it.
He stood up straight, with a confident smile on his face, and focused his eyes on the gauze curtain a few steps away: "Since Mr. Xu has conceded defeat, today's competition can be regarded as the result. I will look for it later. The steward in this hall will redeem the girl first, and we will discuss the marriage after the girl regains her freedom. It would be best if the girl is willing to go to the capital with me in the future. If not, we can also set up another mansion in Jiangling City , everything depends on the girl's wishes."
Having said so much, the result of today's competition is no longer in dispute.After all, one of the two people in the competition is willing to go, and the other doesn't seem to care too much... Xu Weidan is playing with the flagon in his hand with his head down in boredom.Thinking about it, the son of Xu's mansion has never seen any kind of woman before, and participating in this competition can be said to be a novelty for a while, so it is too uneconomical to ignore all costs.
Yan Hong folded his arms and finished reading the "True Confession" of the shopkeeper Qian. He felt that he had some fun coming here today. He was about to drag Meng Dong back to the mansion when he turned around and found that Meng Dong beside him was frowning, his face full of tears. It is rare to see him like this. Yan Hong couldn't help but feel a little funny, and poked him on the face: "Why is this expression, is it because he is not reconciled to Xu Yudan? If you put it in your eyes, you won’t feel that there is nothing shameful about losing today. He always only does what he thinks is worthwhile, and he looks romantic, but he is actually the most sober.”
"Mr. Xu, I don't need to worry about it. In his eyes, it's just a matter of getting a new love earlier, not a big deal." Meng Dong smiled, and turned his eyes to the gauze tent that had been exceptionally quiet all along, "Isn't the lord the last one?" Good at knowing people, then tell me, how would she choose Jiangliu?"
"Huh?" Yan Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't understand Meng Dong's question.After all, the facts are already in front of our eyes, not to mention that Xu Weidan has already conceded defeat, what kind of temptation is the words of the money shopkeeper just now for a woman like Jiang Liu who is forced to fall into prostitution.
She is still considered the number one card in this Qiwu Pavilion, and countless people are flocking to her, and she can still stick to her bottom line and be a clean lady.But in a few years, there will always be someone new to replace her in this museum, who is younger, more beautiful, and more talented, and among those young masters who pursued her like Xu Weidan, there are still a few who remember getting old and fading. she.
At that time, in order to survive, the things that I refused to do at the beginning will eventually have to compromise. Even so, there will be no good ending in the end.
Therefore, if she can marry into a wealthy merchant's family with an innocent body, it will be the best destination she can imagine in this life. What reason does she have to refuse?
Yan Hong pinched his chin and thought for a while, then glanced at the shopkeeper Qian again: "You don't like that Qian?"
Meng Dong followed his gaze, and nodded calmly: "Although the shopkeeper Qian seems very sincere, I also believe that what he said at the moment is sincere, but after all, people's hearts are changeable, right? Who knows if he also said the same thing when he married his wife and concubines back home? Who dares to say that their fate today will not be the future of Jiangliu?"
Yan Hong frowned slightly, and finally nodded: "It's really not a good thing to disregard the kindness of old people in order to please new people." He stretched out his hand and squeezed Meng Dong's face, "But Jiang Liu is just an ordinary person who can't help himself. Girl, and what is before her may be the only way out of the quagmire in this life, why should she refuse?"
Meng Dong lowered his eyes slightly: "Who can tell for sure."
After talking for a long time, Shopkeeper Qian still didn't get a response, and the excitement that should be watched was almost over, and the spectators around gradually lost interest, and scattered in all directions to find their own fun.Xu Weidan drank the jug in his hand, and glanced at the shopkeeper Qian: "The shopkeeper Qian has finished speaking, so can I go?"
As he said, he turned around and looked at the gauze curtain behind him: "It's not easy for Miss Jiangliu to have a good relationship today, and I wish you happiness and health in the future. Let me leave now."
The figure who had been sitting upright inside the veil finally reacted, she got up slowly, lifted the veil covering it with one hand, and walked out steadily.
"Young Master Xu," a soft voice sounded, stopping Xu Weidan's pace, and Jiang Liu walked out from the gauze tent, with a gentle smile on his face.She bowed to Xu Weidan, then nodded to the shopkeeper, "It is really Jiang Liu's blessing to be so favored by the two young masters. But since the two of you are here for Jiang Liu today, what is the last choice?" , Jiang Liu can still do it, right?"
Xu Weidan raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile: "Naturally."
From the moment Jiang Liu walked out, shopkeeper Qian on the other side locked his eyes tightly on Jiang Liu, reluctant to move away. After hearing her words for a while, he hurriedly responded: "It's natural, it's natural, it's been agreed before." Now, everything should be based on the girl's wishes."
"That's good." Jiang Liu frowned, and smiled softly. Her back was straight, and she looked thinner, gentle and dignified, but she was a bit alienated. She walked to Xu Wei first. In front of Dan, he gave him a deep salute, then straightened his body, and said, "I have always been loved and sympathized by Mr. Xu, and it is Jiang Liu's admiration. Jiang Liu has heard Mr. Xu's blessing just now, so Jiang Liu wishes Mr. Xu a happy life in this life. Have fun."
Xu Weidan looked at her calmly, then suddenly laughed, and saluted seriously: "Thank you, miss."
Jiang Liu smiled back at him, then turned around, and looked at Shopkeeper Qian who was standing by her side all the time. Shopkeeper Qian met her gaze, his face flushed, and he looked very excited. He couldn't help but licked his lower lip: "Girl, I..."
"Jiang Liu was forced to fall into prostitution due to the downfall of his family. He has seen the warmth and coldness of the world, and he knows what kind of end people like me will end up in." For me to divorce my wife and remarry, Jiang Liu is naturally very grateful, but he can't accept the young master's deep affection."
When she said this, she bowed deeply to Shopkeeper Qian: "Jiang Liu is still in the living room here, if you come to Jiangling City again, young master, you can come to the building and Jiang Liu will play the piano and sing for you."
"Girl, what do you mean?" From the beginning, the money shopkeeper looked like he was sure of winning. He thought he had done his best, and the promise he made to Jiang Liu was beyond the reach of anyone present. , but he didn't expect to be rejected at this moment, his face was full of disbelief, and he almost wanted to step forward to question.
But the Qiwu Hall is not any other place after all, since Jiang Liu came out of the gauze tent, a few servants were guarding not far away, if the shopkeeper Qian made any drastic moves, he would be asked to leave the hall immediately. Shopkeeper Qian also knew it well, barely restraining his astonishment, and asked repeatedly: "If the girl has any dissatisfaction with what I said just now, you can just raise it. As long as it is what the girl wants, I will do my best to satisfy it. Shang, I have little savings, if the girl marries me, she will enjoy good fortune in this life."
"Thank you for your kindness, young master," Jiang Liu said with a smile, "I also believe in your promise. However, even if he was forced to fall into prostitution, Jiang Liu still remembered the teachings of his father that day, that in life, one should do something and not do something. So , Young Master’s kindness, Jiang Liu dare not accept it.”
After finishing speaking, she nodded towards the two men in front of her: "That's all for today. If the two young masters are still interested in another day, I don't think Jiang Liu is boring. If you come to the door again, Jiang Liu is willing to entertain the two again." bit."
After speaking, regardless of the reactions of the two present, he turned around and went upstairs without looking back.
Shopkeeper Qian stood there in a daze, unable to believe that he came today so full of ambition that he would end up like this. His throat trembled, and all kinds of emotions were accumulated in his heart, so he didn't know what to say for a while.
On the other hand, Xu Weidan who was at the side was much calmer. He touched his chin with one hand, watched the direction Jiang Liu was going away, and smile lines slowly formed on his lips. He turned around and walked towards Yan Hong and the others, shouting Said: "My son has worked hard today, so I count on our prince to entertain us today."
Yan Hong looked him up and down, then looked at the treasurer Qian who was still at a loss, finally turned his head and leaned into Meng Dong's ear and said slowly: "You people in the Wu Pavilion are very interesting."
