Chapter 37 Does He Need My Gift?

On the day of the promotion, Su Han and I drank a few cups of wine and didn't wake up until the next day at 9:00 p.m.

"Where's Su Han?" Xie Chengyi felt that his mind was still a little unclear.

"Mr. Su has already gone back, and I didn't disturb you since I saw you were still sleeping." Zhan Li responded.

Xie Chengyi nodded, "Yeah, okay."

As soon as he stepped out of bed, he saw the gift on the table. He looked at Zhan Li and asked in confusion: "What is this——"

Zhan Li immediately replied, "It was the gift sent by the old lady, the lady and the concubine. Oh, and even the eldest lady, the second son and the third son sent gifts. The old lady said that according to the rules of the Xie family, the good luck on the first day of the wedding must be given by the family."

Xie Chengyi couldn't help but laugh. His grandmother seemed to be paying more and more attention to these formalities.

"All given away?" Xie Chengyi seemed to have thought of something.

Zhan Li nodded, "Yes, although the Second Miss is far away in Hangzhou, the concubine has also sent people to prepare it."

Xie Chengyi looked at the gift dimly, "Where is Yimeiyuan?"

The smile in Zhan Li's eyes froze. Miss Aying?

Does she need to prepare?

It is necessary to say that she is my cousin after all.

only,--

"Not yet..." Zhan Li replied, looking at Xie Chengyi's expression.

Xie Chengyi pretended to be indifferent and said coldly: "She can't give you anything good anyway, so it's better not to accept it!"

Zhan Li: ...

***
Before he knew it, Xie Chengyi had walked to the gate of Yimeyuan.

Xie Chengyi took two steps forward, then turned back and murmured, "Shouldn't she come to see me?"

He broke off a branch and pretended to explain: "After all, this rule was set by my grandmother. Maybe she doesn't even know about it."

So, I turned back.

And so on...

It wasn't until the maid from Yimeiyuan came out and saw Xie Chengyi that she was startled and quickly bowed and said, "Prince."

Xie Chengyi nodded pretending to be calm.

Then, he walked into the yard.

"Good luck to the prince." Su Jian had just come out of the warehouse when she saw the prince who was looking for something.

Seeing Su Jian coming over here, Xie Chengyi immediately straightened up and asked cautiously, "Where is your girl?"

Su Jian quickly replied: "The girl went out early in the morning!"

Xie Chengyi couldn't help but be startled, "Out? Where did he go?"

"The girl said she was going to buy something, but she didn't say what." Su Jian replied. She could tell that Miss Aying had been acting mysterious when she went out recently.

"Buying things?" Xie Chengyi asked thoughtfully.

Su Jian nodded, "Yes, the girl said it is very important."

Xie Chengyi's heart was even more moved.

"Does she know the rules for sending gifts in the Xie Mansion?" Xie Chengyi asked briefly.

Su Jian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I told the young lady, and she said she had her own plans."

After hearing this, Su Jian was a little confused and murmured, "Isn't he going to buy something for the prince?"

"It's not an important matter, why spend money." Xie Chengyi said indifferently.

Su Jian nodded and said, "After all, it is the rule of the mansion. It doesn't matter whether it is valuable or not, the thought should be there."

Xie Chengyi turned around and left slowly.

***
West of the city, teahouse.

"Girls, today, a very important person is here to teach you a lesson, so you must not be careless." Sister Hua called out to the girls she brought with her and spoke loudly.

The girls were whispering to each other, their eyes full of disapproval and contempt. They were already the most sought-after courtesans in the capital, so why should they suffer by listening to other people's nagging?

"Sister Hua, what kind of extraordinary person do we need to learn from? In this capital, besides Su Yin, who else can be called an extraordinary person?" Chunhua sat sideways with her orchid fingers slightly raised, looking very charming.

Qiuyue covered her face with her handkerchief, frowning slightly, "That's right, Sister Hua, what's the point of this guy? Can't he go to Yihong Courtyard and tell us alone?"

When the other girls saw that the two sisters in the lead had such complaints, they couldn't help but agree with them.

Sister Hua's eyes narrowed, "You guys, when will you be able to be as capable as her? This title of the capital's most beautiful woman cannot be shaken by others."

After hearing what Sister Hua, who had seen a lot of things, said, the sisters suddenly became interested.

The next second, outside the screen, a woman with picturesque eyebrows and eyes stood with her hands bare and her face covered with a veil.

"Miss Wanwan, let's start." Sister Hua said with a smile.

Wanwan's eyes were full of smiles. "My dear sisters, I have a question. Whoever can answer it will keep the one hundred taels."

"One hundred taels?" In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up. That was one hundred taels, which was equivalent to the annual reward of an unknown prostitute. Who wouldn't be jealous?

"What's the problem? Sister Wanwan, please tell me. As long as it's not poetry or songs, we can give it a try!" Chunhua looked straight at Wanwan and said with a smile.

Everyone agreed, "That's right." Wanwan smiled, "This question is exactly what the sisters are best at. How can we make men linger?"

This is exactly what the sisters have been thinking about. Apart from anything else, this is what they are good at.

"I know how to do this! Pull him into the house, call him good master, good brother, and it will be over soon!" A woman raised her handkerchief and said loudly.

Chunhua laughed at her, "Who would come a second time if you did that? If you linger, I'm afraid you'll forget to leave..."

Everyone laughed.

Qiuyue raised her eyebrows, "If a woman can act coquettishly, a man will immediately become arrogant! This is not easy to do, just be sweet, show weakness, and praise more!"

Wanwan smiled faintly, "This girl does have some ideas, but they are not the most relevant ones."

This is really difficult for everyone.

"Miss Wanwan, we are a brothel, not a teahouse. If you want to attract men, you should be straightforward and talk about strategies!" said a woman nonchalantly.

Wanwan stood there reluctantly, "Sisters, this man's coquettish attitude is the most deadly."

"Why are you trying to refuse but still accepting?" Qiuyue stared at Wanwan in a daze.

Wanwan said calmly: You can keep him hanging, but you can’t keep him hanging forever; you can give to him, but you can’t keep giving to him forever…

After Wanwan demonstrated a few small scenes easily and briefly, the sisters present were all staring with their eyes wide open. Not to mention the men, even the women who were used to seeing such charming scenes could not resist and they all showed respect to Wanwan.

Sister Hua looked at the women with satisfaction as they became more and more focused, and she was convinced of the feasibility of this business.

After an hour had passed, Wanwan stood up again, as if the charming and charming person just now was not her, "Let's stop here today..."

Everyone was still not satisfied with what they saw and really wanted to learn a few more moves. With such a provocation, customers came one after another, and no one can resist money.

"Miss Wanwan, can you teach us privately? You can pay for it separately?" someone asked.

Sister Hua glanced sideways.

Wanwan still sat there gracefully, smiling sweetly, "I have my own rules, which cannot be broken. Consider this hundred taels as money for me to treat everyone to snacks and tea in Sister Hua's name. You can spend whatever you want downstairs today."

After everyone had left, Wanwan stepped out sideways.

Sister Hua looked at her with great satisfaction.

"Sister Hua, how is it?"

"Otherwise, it can be said that Huo Aying is a unique person. Just these tricks are enough for them to digest for a while." Sister Hua looked at Aying with great appreciation.

Ah Ying finally relaxed a little, "After all, this is an opportunity given by Sister Hua, so I have to do my best."

Sister Hua sighed with regret, "It's a pity that you don't become an oiran..."

Ah Ying looked at Sister Hua with gratitude, "Everyone has their own aspirations. I am already very satisfied now."

Sister Hua nodded.

"By the way, Sister Hua, you know a lot of people, could you please help me?" Ah Ying's expression was slightly solemn.

"Don't be so polite. Since you pleaded for me in front of the prince, I owe you a life!" Sister Hua said solemnly.

Ah Ying said quietly, "Can Sister Hua ask the human traffickers to help me find out about a man named Qingye? If you have any information about this man, I'll pay you any amount of money!"

Sister Hua was startled, "Who is this person?"

Ah Ying's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyebrows were hurt. "My brother."

Sister Hua was quite shocked. "Don't worry, your business is my business. I will send someone to inquire about it when I get back. However, we have limited ways after all. If you want to find him quickly, you'd better use the power of the prince!"

Ah Ying smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Sister Hua for your frankness and for your concern."

When we returned from the restaurant in the west of the city, it was almost Yin time.

When they were almost reaching the Marquis' Mansion, Aying finally remembered what Su Jian had told her.

"Uncle Tian, ​​please go to Hanmo Hall."

***
As soon as he arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, Su Jian came to greet him.

"Girl, you're back!" Su Jian looked anxious.

Ah Ying asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Su Jian hurriedly replied, "The prince came to Yimei Courtyard early in the morning. I said you were out shopping, and the prince asked me if I had reminded you of the rules of asking for the head of a bride?"

Ah Ying raised her eyebrows, "Does he need this little thing from me?"

Su Jian was a little embarrassed, and asked after looking at his face, "Did you buy it?"

Ah Ying pointed casually, "Here, I bought it!"

Su Jian's face lit up with joy, "That's good, that's good, as long as it doesn't involve writing brushes, ink, paper, or inkstones!"

Ah Ying was stunned.

Su Jian looked at Ah Ying's expression and almost cried, "Could it really be a pen, ink, paper and inkstone? The prince hates writing or reading the most!"

Ah Ying said calmly, "You will soon be entering the imperial court, why don't you hurry up and make up for your shortcomings! Send him over and say that the prince is good at fighting and writing, and should be a role model for men in Northern Jin! As for the words that the prince doesn't like to play with literature, I will just pretend I didn't hear it!"

Su Jian: Uh... (She won’t be beaten, will she?)

A Ying: Guess why I don’t take the initiative to cater to your heart?
