105 Shakedown (1)
Although turtle Gong had been hit, it was not angry at all. It smiled and said respectfully, ”
“Please wait a moment, I’ll go now. Young master yang has graciously come, if this wife knows, she will definitely be very happy.”
Xu Qi ‘an visited Fu Xiang every few days, and the courtyard had long recognized him as The Courtesan’s Lover. The gatekeeper was arrogant and cold to other guests, but he did not dare to neglect Xu Qi’ an.
He wished he could kneel and lick her boots.
Xu Qi ‘an led the night watchman into the courtyard. The fragrance of the plum blossoms wafted in the corner of the courtyard, and the white walls and black tiles were quite elegant.
When the courtesan heard that Xu Qi ‘an had booked the entire place, she immediately asked the maidservant to put on exquisite makeup and wear a long pink dress that dragged the floor, revealing her delicate collarbones and fair neck.
The White chest wrap was faintly visible under the tulle.
Fu Xiang personally accompanied him, pouring tea and wine for Xu Qi ‘an. Occasionally, she leaned in and chatted with him, smiling like a flower.
The other copper gongs were envious.
Floating fragrance was a rather famous courtesan, and after the song “dark fragrance floating moon dusk” was released, her value rose.
He heard that he no longer accompanied guests, at least not for ordinary people.
Even so, there were still many guests who came to the Ying Mei Pavilion to drink, listen to music, and play tea every day. This was because Fu Xiang would occasionally come out to be the head officer and organize everyone to drink.
After three rounds of drinks, Xu Qi ‘an gave song tingfeng a look and stood up.”My fellow colleagues, I can’t drink much, so I’ll rest first. You guys can play.”
The gongs did not have any objections. They exchanged glances and laughed.
Fu Xiang’s eyes flickered, and she gave Xu Qi ‘an a strange look. Then, she let him leave with her arm around her shoulder.
…..
After taking a bath, Xu Qi ‘an sat lazily in a white unlined garment, twirling a wine glass in her hand.
“Mr. Xu rarely brings his colleagues over for wine.” Mo Shang, who had just finished his bath, was sitting on the bed a little further away. He tilted his head and wiped his hair.
Her skin was warm and smooth, and her face was flawless. Under the flickering candlelight, she looked more enchanting and mysterious.
Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of wine and sighed, “”A few days ago, the two of you took a fancy to me and wanted to recruit me as your Emperor, so we had a fight in the Yamen.”
Fu Xiang got off the bed. Her dress fell down and covered her long, snow-white legs. She hugged Xu Qi ‘an from behind and chuckled.”Are you jealous?”
“Red eye has existed since ancient times.” Xu Qi ‘an did not deny it.
“Mr. Xu, you should have said so earlier, so that I could entertain your colleagues for you.” Fu Xiang said regretfully.
She didn’t pay much attention to the other gongs during the meal.
“No need.” Xu Qi ‘an smiled.
He was not lacking in interpersonal skills. He held Fu Xiang in his arms and tilted the glass. The cold wine flowed down Fu Xiang’s white neck.
“It’s more enjoyable to drink like this.” Xu Qi ‘an laughed and lowered his head.
The smell of alcohol was gone again. Xu Qi ‘an left the master bedroom with the excuse of going out for some fresh air. He went to the wine room to take a look. His colleagues were playing games happily in the music, as if they had opened the door to a new world.
In fact, as long as they were given enough silver, the maids in the courtyards of the education workshop would not refuse. This had been the case since ancient times.
Xu Qi ‘an jumped onto the wall, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and set it on fire.
He raised his head, and two streams of clear air shot through the night sky, disappearing in a flash.
All kinds of fate energy appeared in his vision, and the world became colorful.
Xu Qi ‘an had learned from Chu Caiwei that jade green represented demonic energy. That night, when he was patrolling, he had clearly seen the green light flash across the sky above the Imperial Academy.
This meant that there was a demon hidden in the Imperial Academy. It was a bold guess, because the Imperial Academy was a place where high-ranking officials and nobles usually drank for fun. Such a place actually hid a demon.
But that was the truth.
This time, Xu Qi ‘an kept in mind the principle of “you won’t die if you don’t seek death.” He didn’t try to spy on the Directorate of Celestials, in case he was blinded by the director again.
He swept his gaze across the sky above the Academy Square. All kinds of colors flickered in his sight, but there was no demonic Qi.
“The demon has left … Or is it hidden with a special method?” Xu Qi ‘an jumped off the wall and returned to the boudoir of the floating fragrance courtesan.
……
Fu Xiang was curled up in Xu Qi ‘an’s arms, her bright eyes blinking.”Mr. Xu, can you redeem me?”
Talking about money would hurt feelings … Xu Qi ‘an in sage time was unmoved.
The courtesan’s wife twisted her body and said coyly, “”I just want to be a concubine, I just want to serve by your side.”
Xu Qi ‘an touched her head and ran his fingers through her hair.”Don’t mess around, our sincere feelings shouldn’t be mixed with the stink of money.”
Fu Xiang’s eyes reddened as she sobbed. you just want to play with me for free. When you’re tired of me, you’ll kick me away.
You even found out? Xu Qi ‘an thought in surprise.
He said helplessly,”you’re the courtesan of the Imperial Academy. It’s impossible to redeem you without four to five thousand taels.” Furthermore, the Ministry of Rites might not agree to this.”
“I’ve also saved some money over the years, and I’ve asked around. It will only take three years for Tong Luo to buy a courtyard in the inner city.” Fu Xiang hugged him and pleaded,”Mr. Xu, please redeem me.”
The inner courtesan not only knew how to act coquettishly, but also made full use of her capital. Her exquisite and curvaceous body was close to Xu Qi ‘an.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very pitiful.
Xu Qi ‘an frowned, but it was not difficult. He had met this kind of girl in his previous life. She knew how to act coquettishly and buy this and that (luxury goods). Xu Qi’ an could handle it.
He was just a little curious. For a famous courtesan whose career was booming and who was in the prime of her life, it was still too early for her to change her ways.
