Chapter 55: Initialization of the plan

“Nu Jia wants to thank you, if in the future Nu Jia can go down in history, it will definitely be due to you.” Floating Fragrance’s eyes flowed with tender feelings, becoming more and more delicate and charming.

Xu Qi’an knew what she was referring to, since ancient times, there were quite a few famous prostitutes who were famous for their poetry for generations.

This is an opportunity that any windswept woman would be ecstatic about.

Two kinds of people in the world love to compete for fame, the readers and the prostitutes.

What I want is this gratitude from you …. Xu Qi’an smiled, appropriately showing a bit of levity, “How are you going to thank me?”

The room was as warm as spring, he had drunk a lot of wine, and after sitting for so long, he already felt hot and dry, so he took off his outer robe and rested it on the round stool.

Floating Fragrance bit her delicate and plump lips, and shyly said, “Sir, the night is long, so why don’t you first listen to the slave play a song for you to help the pleasure.”

Xu Qi’an froze, knowing that the other party had gotten the wrong idea, and smiled without explaining.

Or was it the ancient woman who was so elegant that when you came to sleep with her, she would say, “Don’t be in a hurry, let the little lady play a song for you.

Unlike later girls, you go to sleep with her and she’ll say: screw faster!

After patiently listening to a song, Xu Qi’an had to admit that this flower girl had two brushes, the qin and poetry were both excellent, I don’t know about the poetry, but the qin playing was really good.

He was able to quiet his mind and immerse himself in it, even as a man who was not in tune.

Xu Qi’an took a sip of tea to ease the dryness in his throat caused by drinking, and started a topic in a casual tone, “Miss Floating Fragrance is a woman of great color, is there no one to ransom you?”

This was obviously not a very pleasant subject, and the flower girl sighed grimly:

“How can a girl from the Ministry of Education be redeemed just by saying she’s redeemed? Even if she meets a lover, the Ministry of Rites won’t agree.”

In fact, it is too much money, the Church Department when the red flower girl is very difficult to redeem, because it is an official prostitute, to go through a whole lot of processes, up and down the point, the cost of silver is far better than other greenhouse flower girl.

I remember Sheriff Wang said that a flower girl in an ordinary green house is about 500 taels – 1,000 taels. The flower girl of the Church Department might be double that, or even more.

What’s 2,000 taels?

I’ll have to save up for ten years without eating or drinking. I’m still earning a moderate income. …. With this much money, wouldn’t it be better for me to buy some good-looking concubines?

Xu Qi’an subconsciously did the math in his mind and came to the conclusion that this business was a bloody loss!

“That’s also true, with Miss Floating Fragrance’s beauty, even in the Great Feng Capital, you can’t pick the second one.” Xu Qi’an bragged.

The flower girl snorted and laughed, her heart rejoiced, while her mouth said, “Gongzi don’t make fun of people, the first beauty of this Dafeng capital is the Zhenbei Wangfei, and people are nothing more than a bushy willow.”

The self-reference changed from slave to family, and the relationship became more intimate, with a bit of petulance in the tone.

Princess Zhenbei? It was this woman again. Xu Qi’an had once again heard of this legendary number one beauty of the capital.

In his last life, he asked himself to read countless beauties, and now that he had seen Xu Ling Yue Chu Cai Wei and other almost flawless beauties, he really couldn’t think of what degree of beauty this princess had to be in order to hold the title of the first beauty of the capital.

Eighty percent of the identity aura, right …. He thought to himself.

“The princess was born in the south of the book family, nine years old, along with her parents to the Jade Buddha Temple incense burning, the presiding officer presented her with a poem: out of the world shocked by all the fragrance, graceful pouring all the sunshine. All the people respected into a national color, the soul of the earth to cause the emperor.

“From there, he became famous and was sent to the palace at the age of thirteen.”

Xu Qi’an curiously said, “And how did one become a royal concubine?”

The Floating Fragrance Flower Leader stretched out her slender jade hand gathered in her long sleeves, her orchid fingers twisted the porcelain bottle, poured out the qin cream, and said as she cared for the phoenix-tailed zither:

“Nineteen years ago, after the great victory at Shanhaiguan, when the King of Zhenbei was the second most meritorious official, His Majesty presented him with that first beauty of the capital.”

Zhenbei king is the current emperor’s own brother, reward beauty is not strange, after all, that beauty is certainly talented, but the current emperor is dedicated to cultivation, has long been not close to women ….. Xu Qi’an was curious about another matter:

“Who was the first major contributor?”

“Duke Wei, in the beginning, Duke Wei was the commander of the three armies, if not for the fact that he was a eunuch, the Wangfei would not be the Wangfei.” Floating incense laughed: “What I said with Gongzi, is the thing no one can not say lei, just out of this door, do not talk about it more.”

About that Wei Gong, ordinary people talk about it, after all, she is a hospitality staff working in a state-owned enterprise.

So it was him…Xu Qi’an suddenly realized that Wei Yuan was a person that Xu Dalang had heard of.

It’s too famous.

Although this person is a eunuch, but the amazing talent, literature can rule the country, martial arts can calm the chaos. If he were not a eunuch, it would be easy for him to be a scholar and a chief minister.

The two of them chatted on and on, Xu Qi’an was well versed in the art of baiting, a skill he had honed back when he had practiced hard on his interrogation techniques.

After half a day of beating around the bush, the topic was finally brought to Zhou Li.

“This person is horny and absurd, his chest is not a bit of ink, the slave is not happy, every time he participates in playing tea round, the slave will pretend that he does not exist.” Floating Aroma said:

“The Ministry of Education is under the authority of the Ministry of Rites, and he’s the son of a Minister of the Household, and the slave is not afraid of him.”

Xu Qi’an appropriately showed a few moments of curiosity and asked with a smile, “Where do you start with being horny and ridiculous, isn’t seeking flowers and willows the norm.”

“This matter involves some official secrets,” the flower girl hesitated and softly said, “I also heard other officials talk about it and only know a little about it, if Mr. Yang wants to know, I will tell you, but don’t spread it out.”

A tone of voice that seemed petulant and pleading.

Xu Qi’an appropriately pretended to be flattered, stating that he was only interested for a moment and would never spread the word.

“This matter has to start from last year’s Lantern Festival, that Zhou Li is absurd people, Lantern Festival fancy a girl, take advantage of the crowd of eyes, they went up to molest, but also let people injured the female side of the escort.

“Who wants that girl is also a background, is the Marquis of Wei Wu’s concubine daughter. Originally, if it was just a commoner daughter, things would not be troublesome, but the problem is that the commoner daughter’s birth mother, and the Marquis of Weiwu’s wife is a sister.

“With this layer of blood relationship, that concubine daughter is quite liked by the master mother, and the difference in treatment between her and the first daughter isn’t that big. It just lacks a name.”

Xu Qi’an quietly clenched his fists, “How was that handled?”

“Marquis of Weiwu sued the Imperial Court, the Minister of the Ministry of households wrote to explain, the two sides tug of war for many days, and finally His Majesty ruled: Zhou Minister of poor teaching of children, one year’s salary, compensation for the Marquis of Weiwu 5,000 taels. Zhou Li is grounded for three months, if there is a recurrence, severely punished.”

If there is a repeat offense, it will be severely punished …. These words seemed like lightning striking into Xu Qi’an’s mind, causing him to burst with inspiration.

Zhou Li coveted the Marquis of Weiwu concubine female beauty for a long time, because a while ago ate a loss, was beaten, the mood of bitterness, the brain under the heat, and played the Marquis of Weiwu concubine female idea ….

The information he had previously gathered about Zhou Li was summarized in an instant, like a cornerstone, adding bricks and mortar to his plan.

So they sent someone to take the concubine daughter of the Marquis of Weiwu captive, hidden in a private house outside, intending to lust …. Afterward, they killed her to silence her …. Well, that makes sense.

“Of course, the purpose is to plant evidence, I don’t have to kill an innocent girl in someone else’s house, this is the first draft of the plan for now, and the details will have to be discussed with Erlang. Be sure to make it natural, sensible and reasonable ….”

Seeing Xu Qi’an staring blankly, the flower girl called out to him, her pink lips slightly pouting, seemingly petulant and complaining:

“Is the gentleman going to sit with someone all night?”

Uh…I can’t break my body yet…if I don’t sit all night, can’t I still do it all night?

PS: About two or three more chapters and Squire Zhou’s storyline will be over.

Also, I’ve been having a bit of trouble updating lately, I never get around to updating in the middle of the day, so I’ll start back up tomorrow.
