Chapter 428 – Dance

The deed of sale worth eight thousand taels ………. The Ming Yan Hua Kui’s autumn waves froze, and she couldn’t help but be flooded with mixed emotions such as relief, joy, and jealousy.

All the flower girl mood is equally complex, eight thousand taels ah, enough in the inner city luxury section to buy a luxury residence, the Church Department is known as the gold grotto, but spend the whole eight thousand taels for the famous prostitute ransom example, is really rare.

The officials are afraid to do so, while the merchants and tycoons are hurting for silver.

But Xu Yinluo did it, he lightly put down a whole eight thousand taels of silver.

What touched the hearts of the flower maidens most deeply was that the Floating Lady was terminally ill and her days were numbered. So this 8,000 taels of silver bought just the wish of a woman of the wind.

What man in the world could do this for a woman like them?

Xu Yinluo is different from other men ………. The hearts of all the Flower Leaders were softening as they looked at the young man in the Confucian robes with fascination.

“Hsu Lang ………”

Looking at the deed of sale on the table, Fu Xiang laughed and laughed with tears on her face.

It was originally owed to you ……… Xu Qi an sat on the edge of the bed and sighed.

Floating Fragrance looked at him softly, her pretty face flushed, and choked, “You didn’t have to come, I, I don’t look good right now.”

Xu Qi’an reached out and touched her cheek, his expression somewhat complicated.

“I have another wish.”

Floating Fragrance turned her cicatrizes and looked at the Flower Leaders, saying, “I would like to present a final dance for Lang Xu, and I implore my sisters to accompany me.”

The flower girls nodded.

Floating Fragrance revealed a smile before looking at Xu Qi’an, “Xu Lang, go to the outer hall and wait for a moment ……….”

After the people left, Floating Fragrance changed into a gorgeous layered red dress embroidered with reddish plum blossoms, and Mei’er combed her hair, put it in a bun, and put on a luxurious hair accessory.

The eyebrow pencil traced a delicate curve, the lip balm smudged out flaming red lips, and the blush restored color to her pale face.

Floating Fragrance gazed at the magnificent beauty in the mirror and spread a smile.

Six years ago, a stunning young woman came to the Department of Correctional Services, where she fell into the limelight as the daughter of a sinful minister, but with a special purpose in mind.

She practiced the zither and studied poetry, and became the flower girl of the Education Department, and her reputation as a showgirl spread far and wide.

Six years had flicked by, and it was time for her to end this life, but a young man burst into her world, like a light that split the dim sky.

The young man was not absent at the end of this journey to round her off.

Floating Fragrance rose, lifting her skirts, and ran out of the room, from the master bedroom to the outer hall, she ran through the long corridor, as if she had run through a period of six years, and at the end of it, met him.

In the hall, the sound of silk, bamboo and pipe music was heard.

Red dress solo.

It’s as graceful as a swimming dragon.

In the epilogue, she falls into Xu Qi’an’s arms.

The beauty in her arms raised her head, already in tears, miserable: “Xu Lang, I have to go, later ………..”

What I hope for is to leave a trace in your heart; what I am afraid of is my own insignificance and instant forgetfulness.

Xu Qi’an wrapped his arms around her and said softly, “In the future, don’t come to the Churchyard.”

It starts with you and ends with you.

For Xu Qi’an, it was also the end of a certain journey in life.

Fu Xiang smiled, never before bright and moving, like the graceful flavor of plum blossoms.

A wisp of a ghost drifted away, slithering off into the distance.

Inside the hall, Ming Yan, Xiaoya, and the other Flower Leaders whimpered and wept.

………….

Floating fragrance of the flower head of the death, the fame of the famous prostitutes completely washed out, waved goodbye to the career of the Department of the Church.

But her end is not bleak, Xu Qi’an appeared at the Education Department today and spent 8,000 taels of silver to ransom her and help her out of her pariah status. The news instantly spread throughout the entire Department of Correctional Services.

Spending 8,000 taels to ransom a terminally ill windswept woman, even a storybook couldn’t write such a plot.

Compared to Xu Qi’an’s throwing away money just to fulfill a beauty’s heart’s desire. The description of those talented scholars in the books, who often cut out a heart, is both pale and powerless.

For a while, the women of the Department of Education were all talking about Xu Qi’an, about the legendary Dafeng Silver Gong, the once Silver Gong.

The Church Office had always been a transit point for the spread of rumors, and in just two days’ time, almost all of the guests who were qualified to spend money in the Church Office knew about this matter.

In this era, the love story between a poor showman and a rich girl; the love story between a talented man and a famous prostitute can be regarded as two enduring themes.

But anyone who heard of this matter couldn’t help but praise Xu Qi’an for being affectionate and righteous, and spread the word about it with great gusto.

One by one, ten by ten, the city folk, the merchant class, the officialdom, all take this matter as the talk of the tea time.

…………

When Chief Counselor Wang was having his meal this morning, he heard his second son chattering about this rumor in the neighborhood.

“Eight thousand taels of silver, if I were to run it, I could double it in less than a year. Big brother, do you think this Xu Qi’an is stupid, if it’s just for the sake of holding a beauty.

“On the contrary, it’s a terminally ill one, so the eight thousand taels won’t go down the drain.”

Noticing his father coming in, Second Prince Wang immediately interrupted the conversation and lowered his head to drink congee.

The Wang family is a strict family, advocating no food, no words, and no sleep.

Chief Minister Wang sat down at the table, took a sip of porridge, looked at his second son, and asked, “What did you just say?”

Er Wang mumbled, “No, nothing ……..”

Chief Minister Wang waved his hand, “Just say, uh, something to do with Xu Qi’an?”

Seeing that his father was not displeased, Wang Erge said, “The Floating Fragrance Flower Leader of the Department of Education is terminally ill and cannot be saved by medicine and stone, and that Xu Qi’an spent 8,000 taels to ransom her just to fulfill the long-cherished wish of a beauty, which is really laughable.”

After commenting, he carefully asked, “What do you think, Father?”

Chief Minister Wang didn’t take any notice and silently finished his porridge.

Wang Erge was a little disappointed that he didn’t get his father’s affirmation.

Well, my father never talked behind people’s backs about right and wrong, but the thoughts in his heart must have been the same as his.

Head Minister Wang finished his porridge, took the handmaiden’s handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then wiped his hands, and said indifferently, “If you can spend eight thousand taels to ransom the body of a woman who is about to die, I respect you as a good man.”

Wang Erge was stunned and dumbfounded.

…………

The Vast Building.

“I didn’t see it coming, but he’s a smitten man.”

Nangong Qianru held her tea and smiled, unable to tell if it was mockery or approval.

“Infatuation may not be true, but amorality is.”

Wei Yuan stood on the overlook, his wide sleeves fluttering as he casually commented.

A few seconds later, he turned back with a huff and said, slightly depressed, “Earlier I deducted three months of his salary, where do you think he got so much silver?”

You have nothing to withhold his salary for what ……… Nangong Qianruo scrutinized his righteous father.

Wei Yuan lamented, “Life is all about peace of mind.”

…………

Hanlin Academy.

The plebeians sat in the classroom, the Hanlin Academy university scholar had not yet come, the plebeians sat in their respective seats and gossiped.

“Xu Yinluo is really affectionate and righteous, he even spent eight thousand taels to ransom Floating Fragrance’s body.”

“Floating Fragrance has long been terminally ill, and there’s no medicine or stone to save her, but Xu Yinluo is still willing to shell out the silver, just so she can get out of her pariah status before she dies.”

Although Xu Qi’an has resigned from the government, outsiders still used to call him Xu Yinluo.

What 8,000 taels, what ransom? Listening to his colleagues, Xu Zhi old head confused, said my big brother did what earth-shattering things?

Why is it that my elder brother has done something amazing and I, as a younger brother, don’t know about it?

Because and Wang Simu feelings warmed up very quickly, take the time to date, Xu Erlang has long been not to go to the Department of Education, so the news lagged behind, and did not know that eight thousand taels of ransom matter.

“But I’ve heard that many people are laughing at him; how is a dying man worth eight thousand taels? Xu Yinluo acted on impulse, and now I’m afraid he regrets it.”

“I’ve also heard that Xu Yinluo is doing this for prestige.”

Others take a different view.

Thanks to the fact that Xu Erlang was still in a state of confusion, or else these plebeians would have been sprayed with skepticism.

At this time, the sound of coughing sounded from the door, and the ancient and serious scholar of the Hanlin Academy, holding a scroll, entered the classroom.

The plebes were immediately silenced.

The Hanlin College University Secretary Ma Xiowen, known as a stereotypical serious, not party, not camp, to say that the official cultivation of pure fire it, he did in the fierce party dispute in the court steadily stood a place.

But he is also in the position of the Hanlin Academy University sergeant for decades not to move a move.

The officials of the Hanlin Academy, the plebeians, his deepest impression was that he was calm and peaceful.

As the plaque hanging in his hall reads: but seek peace of mind.

After a class lecture, the Hanlin Academy university scholar Ma Xiowen, looking around the crowd, a rare and pleasant color, smiling:

“Readers, it is not the book that they read, it is the reasoning in the book. However, the reason is not only in the book, but also outside the book. This official listened to you discussing Xu Yinluo spending eight thousand taels to ransom herself for the flower girl of the Education Department, you discussed for half a day, can you discuss what reasoning is there?”

What sense can that make?

“Sentient?”

“Treat money like dirt?”

The plebes guessed.

Ma Xiowen, a university scholar at the Hanlin Academy, smiled and shook his head as his gaze fell on Xu Xinxin, saying, “Resignation, what do you think?”

Xu New Year frowned, inexplicably remembering when his big brother knifed his superiors and he went to visit him in prison, his big brother had said, I’m not impulsive, I’m just looking for peace of mind.

In retrospect, everything he did afterward was just seeking peace of mind.

Xu New Year said in a deep voice, “But seek peace of mind.”

Ma Xiowen, the university scholar of the Hanlin Academy, swept his eyes over the crowd, “Remember this sentence, no matter what heights you can go to in the future, this official hopes that you and others, keep it in mind, but seek peace of mind.”

………..

After the duty was dispersed, Xu New Year returned to the mansion, mindful of what he had heard during the day.

Entering the inner hall, he saw his mother sitting dumbfounded at the table and asked, “Mother, where is my elder brother.”

The aunt ignored him.

“I’m here ………”

In the side yard, Xu Qi’an beckoned.

When little old me came over, he whispered, “Don’t you mention the floating incense in the house.”

Xu New Year scrutinized his big brother, “What happened to Tifu Xiang.”

“The point is not floating incense, the point is eight thousand taels, aunt today is like a Xianglin sister-in-law, eight thousand taels eight thousand taels, murmured all day ………”

As he spoke, Xu Qi’an pinched his brow and got a bit of a headache.

Who is Xiangling s wife …….. Xu New Year muttered in his heart, then, he lifted his chin and faintly said, “I just want to talk to big brother.”

“What?” Xu Qi’an asked.

“Life and death have their own destinies, there’s no need to be too sad.” Erlang Xu comforted.

If you don t know how to comfort people, don t comfort, it sounds like you are talking about sarcasm ……… Xu Qi an nodded his head and hmmm.

Floating incense’s bones he has been buried, deliberately led Zhong Li back, and then took Chu Caiwei, outside the capital to find a good feng shui cemetery burial.

By chance, I heard Chu Caiwei say one thing, since the sword state back, Yang Qianfeng likes to tell stories, and everyone will talk about what he did in the sword state.

The senior brothers of the Si Tian Supervisor cooperated and shouted loudly, praising Senior Brother Yang for being unrivaled in the world.

Yang Qianfeng was just happy.

But with Xu Qi An’s eight thousand taels of ransom at the Church and Workshop Department spreading to the Si Tian Jian, Yang Qian Yao is not a storyteller, and in the past few days, the people at the Church and Workshop Department have seen a white shadow appearing from time to time.

………..

After the evening meal, Xu Qi’an knocked on the door of little old brother’s room and said, “Write me the record of the late emperor’s rising that you have memorized in the past few days.”

Xu New Year, who had drunk the tranquilizing soup and was planning to rest, pushed and shoved, “Wait for me to remember more.”

“No, remember too much and you’ll sift through details that you don’t think are important, I detected this fault of yours the last time I looked at Yuan Jing’s starting book.” Xu Qi’an said unhappily.

“What’s wrong with that?” Erlang Xu didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he was doing.

“Whether it’s important or not is up to me, not you.” Xu Qi’an walked over to the table, spread out his pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and urged:

“Come here quickly, big brother will sharpen your ink himself.”

Xu New Year had no choice but to go to the desk and sit down, putting up his pen to write, he had read a lot of the late emperor’s starting records one after another over the past few days, and he had memorized them all in his mind.

If he writes again in a few days, he does cut out some of the dialog that he thinks doesn’t make sense, otherwise it’s just too much work.

But if he wrote it now, he could restore what he had written down as it was.

Half an hour later, Xu Erlang put down his brush, gently shook his hand, and pushed a dozen sheets of rice paper to his elder brother, “Alright.”
