Chapter 33 Found it!
"Looking at the two young masters, maybe this is the first time you have come to our Yicui Building? In our Yicui Building, the most unmissable thing now is Miss Ning Bing's tea party!"

"Miss Ning Bing is beautiful and fragrant, bah, she is both excellent in color and art, and is proficient in poetry and prose. She is a first-class oiran in Zhongjing."

"This kind of beauty and talent, in our Jiang'an City, is a rare event in a hundred years! If it weren't for such a big event as the Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine's visit, how could she come to our Jiang'an City! Two young masters, don't miss this opportunity!"

Walking on the road, the old bustard began to sell Ning Bing girl's excellence, and Xu Dapeng was very excited when he heard it.

Xia Jingyun even felt that if he didn't stop him, Xu Dapeng would be willing to give her a smile when Ningbing girl spoke, and then have a hearty dream with the quilt at night.

Naturally, the bustard also noticed Xu Dapeng's appearance, revealing his expected pride.

But when she cast her eyes on Xia Jingyun, she found that this handsome young man was still calm and calm. He was obviously a veteran who had experienced it before, and he immediately paid a lot of attention to it.

Soon, the two arrived outside a courtyard.

An independent two-storey building surrounded by a small yard surrounded by green bamboos, even if the autumn wind is bleak, it is not less elegant.

There is a sign hanging at the door, with three big characters [Green Bamboo Courtyard] written on it.

There are still guards standing by the wall without looking sideways, highlighting one to let everyone sleep at ease, and at the same time highlighting the detached status of this big oiran in this Yicui building.

It is said that there will be arcade poetry competitions in Zhongjing City, but Jiang'an County obviously cannot afford such a scene, and only used money for the primary election.

At the gate of the courtyard, the old bustard bowed his waist and stretched out his hand, smiling all over his face, "Please come to the two young masters."

Xia Jingyun nodded slightly and strode in.

On the first floor of the courtyard, there is a wide hall with more than ten tables, and seven or eight of them are already seated at the moment.

Seeing Xia Jingyun coming in, many people looked sideways, obviously recognizing this young man who was born at the literary meeting two days ago and shined brilliantly.

Xia Jingyun, who was originally calm, glanced casually, and his pupils shrank instantly.

At the table in the middle of the first row, he saw Zheng Tianyu who was dressed in white and looked at ease.

The first son of Sishui Prefecture also saw Xia Jingyun, smiled gracefully, and nodded as a gesture.

His actions, which were the focus of everyone, also made other people who hadn't noticed Xia Jingyun look sideways, and attracted more people's attention.

Xia Jingyun also nodded slightly, then picked the only table left and sat down.

Every table has tea money for sitting. The one where Xia Jingyun and the others are sitting is already considered remote, but it still needs ten taels of silver as a base.

While taking out the silver, Xia Jingyun sighed with emotion, as expected, the brothel is a cave for selling gold!
A young man took the money and bowed away thankfully, but turned back after a while, and said in a low voice with embarrassment: "Young master, Miss Ning Bing said, please stay away today."

Xia Jingyun narrowed his eyes, held down Xu Dapeng who was about to start spraying, and said with a sneer, "Open the door to welcome guests, and pick out guests?"

The servant took out 50 taels of silver, "Miss Ning Bing said, our temple here is too small to accommodate the grievances between the two young masters. Please come back tomorrow, no matter how nice she is to treat you. This small amount of money is considered an apology."

This is euphemistic, but the meaning is clear.

Everyone knows the grievances between you and Mr. Zheng, if you two fight again in a while, we will not be able to suppress it here, so you should avoid it for a while.

Xia Jingyun had a half-smile, and put his words clearly, "Then why didn't Mr. Zheng leave, but me?"

The boy's expression froze, Xu Dapeng snorted coldly, "Tell your girl, if brother Gao Yang leaves, I won't wait."

The servant glanced at him, "Young master, please go ahead."

Xu Dapeng:
"Let's go!"

Xia Jingyun got up straight away and walked outside.

Well, I didn't forget to take the money, 50 taels, don't waste it.

The people behind cast surprised glances, then looked at Zheng Tianyu thoughtfully, and looked at the backs of the two, their expressions turned into sarcasm.

On the second floor of the small building, the little maid hurried in and said in a low voice, "Miss, that Mr. Xia has already been driven away."

Many men in Jiang'an City fantasize that one day the girl Ning Bing is wearing a green dress, and the clothes gently spread out the exquisite curves on her body.

The lotus steps move lightly, the front peak is high, the back peak is warped, and the middle gap is vaguely invisible.

She hummed casually, crossed her hands over her hips, closed her skirt, sat in front of the dressing table, and immediately revealed an exaggerated and attractive shape behind her, picked up the eyebrow pencil, and drew her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror.

The little maid hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Girl, I don't think you need to do this. Mr. Zheng didn't say anything himself, and he even took the initiative to say hello to that person. Why should we be such villains? It will also make people think that we have broken the rules."

Miss Ning Bing ignored her, and slowly painted her eyebrows, before she said calmly: "The hands of a big man have never been stained with such chores, and there will naturally be caring people who will take the initiative to help him. He will be happy when you do it. If you still need him to speak, then you are not sensible."

"But."

"There's nothing good about it. If you damage your reputation, you will also damage the reputation of this Yicui building. I will return to Zhongjing in more than [-] days. It has nothing to do with me."

She looked at this little maid who was loyal to her, and confided in her heart, "People here think how I am in Zhongjing City, don't you know my situation? I am not young now, I don't have a name on my body, and I don't have many stories. If I come here this time, if I can firmly grasp the first son of Sishui Prefecture, it will be a good thing to talk about when I go back to Zhongjing City in the future, so that I can elevate my position a bit."

The maid sighed faintly, and said softly: "But how does the girl know that Mr. Xia can't help you fulfill this wish?"

Miss Ning Bing stood up, looked downstairs from the window, and looked at Zheng Tianyu's handsome face and calm demeanor, "Since it's a gamble, it's the safest bet!"

"A dog's eyes look down on people! It's too much to bully! Brother Gao Yang, we can't just be so cowardly!"

Walking out of the small courtyard, Xu Dapeng chattered indignantly as if those mocking gazes were still on his back.

Xia Jingyun smiled nonchalantly, "Then what do you think is the best way to deal with such a low-minded person?"

Xu Dapeng was taken aback, Xia Jingyun sneered, "Naturally let them know that they have dog eyes and regret it too much! Making trouble will only make you appear incompetent."

He came to inquire about the news, so it is a good place to be busy with the oiran, but it is not impossible there.

He was thinking about where to go to find out the news in his mind, and as he walked forward, a figure suddenly walked out of a small courtyard by the side of the road.

"Master Xia, my young lady invites you to talk, I wonder if you would like to honor me?"

The sound is crisp and sweet, like the sound of a clear spring.

Xia Jingyun looked at the girl in front of him. Although the hair accessories were vulgar and the makeup was terrible, with his sharp eyes that he had cultivated for many years, he saw a superb figure under the dim light of the lantern.

He said calmly, "You know me?"

The girl nodded, "At the literary meeting that day, my young lady was also on the sidelines, and she saw Mr. Xia's charming demeanor. This time, she saw the young master coming out from Sister Ning Bing, so she took the liberty to come here, and hope that the young master will appreciate you."

Xia Jingyun looked to the side, "What about my friend?"

The girl said: "There are 31 sisters in the building tonight, and a total of 24 will receive guests tonight. I can help you recommend which one this young master likes."

Xia Jingyun's heart skipped a beat, "Are you familiar with your place?"

The girl nodded, "My young lady is very beautiful, so I have a lot of leisure time, so I have some understanding."

Xia Jingyun decisively took out the 50 taels of silver and stuffed it into Xu Dapeng's hands, "Brother Bo Yi, see you and me tomorrow!"

After paying the money, he followed the maid into the yard. The yard is called [Linhuayuan]. In Xia Jingyun's opinion, the name is more charming than the Green Bamboo Courtyard over there, but the furnishings inside are far inferior.

The surrounding scenery is monotonous, the walls are mottled, the lights are faint, and the figures sway slightly in the autumn wind. Although the sweeping is very clean, it reveals a sense of loneliness and desolation. It doesn't look like a place where guests often come in and out.

"Please take a break, my lord. I'll go invite my young lady."

"Since I'm here, I don't mind anything, the girl just sit down and talk, why bother to pretend."

The "servant girl" was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "I never thought that Mr. Xia is not only amazing in writing, but also amazing in insight, but the little girl is self-righteous."

She bowed profusely, "Yunxian has seen the young master."

Then he invited Xia Jingyun into the room, sat down on the round stool, and said softly, "Would you like to drink wine or tea?"

Xia Jingyun looked at the attractive figure and the ordinary face in front of him, and smiled playfully, "I have many doubts in my heart, and if Miss Yunxian can't clear up my doubts, I won't dare to drink whether it's wine or tea."

"The son is so frank, it seems that the little girl is not frank enough."

She stood tall and looked at Xia Jingyun, "The little girl was abducted when she was young and sold into the prostitution. Although she was forced to die, she was temporarily innocent, but now she has reached the age of twenty-eight, and she is unable to resist her master. I came here to admire the young master's name, and I also want to ask the young master to redeem the little girl."

She turned around and took out a box from the side drawer, which was filled with copper coins and broken silver. "Over the years, I have worked hard to save 47 taels of silver. If the young lady goes, the master will definitely not let her go, and will add more money. But if the young master goes, with the young master's current momentum, the old master may be willing to make a relationship. If it succeeds, the young lady will pay back the money for the young master as soon as possible."

You want me to use the bus for private use, Xia Jingyun thought to himself.

It's not right, if it's as she said, it's still innocent, it doesn't count.

But I just came here to inquire about the news, what's the matter with abducting a girl?

"But what benefits can I get?" Xia Jingyun's expression was calm, without any emotion or tendency.

Miss Yunxian paused for a moment, gritted her silver teeth, and in the basin beside her, she removed the clumsy makeup, revealing a face like a lotus in clear water. The bright face instantly lit up the room.

She bent her knees and bowed profusely, "Yunxian is willing to serve you around me from now on, without asking for any status. I hope you can help me."

Xia Jingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, and still sat upright with a heart of stone, "I don't lack women, and I don't want a woman by my side now, and I don't have such a big face to ask for something from the owner of this brothel."

Before the venomous snake that was peeping at him was caught, he didn't dare to trust anyone easily, especially this kind of person who came forward on his own initiative.

Miss Yunxian, who was still kneeling on the ground, raised her head, her eyes flickering in prayer, "I can help you."

Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows.

"Young master must come here to inquire about something. Yunxian grew up in the building since he was a child, and he helps out in the building on weekdays, so he knows the situation here very well."

Xia Jingyun looked at the woman in front of him, and said calmly, "How do you know that I'm not here to do something that men like?"

"Because in the eyes of the son, there is no desire in the eyes of those men."

These words made Xia Jingyun look squarely at the girl in front of him.

He pondered for a moment, turned his heart, and asked, "Then from last night until now, have you ever seen a person with an injured right arm in the building?"

Miss Yunxian thought for a while, then shook her head.

Just when Xia Jingyun felt a burst of disappointment, she heard Miss Yunxian continue: "However, I know that someone used wound medicine in the room last night, and the dose was quite a lot."

Xia Jingyun's eyes froze instantly.
