Liu Baishi was even more curious about what this strange young man was going to do with it.
But seeing that Su Changan didn't say it directly, Liu Baishi naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to continue asking, so he said: "More than 20 meters, I bought a lot just in case. And this thing is considered a rare item in our Great Xia, but I heard from the merchant that it is not considered a rare item in Persia, and in recent years this skill has spread in the south, but it has not yet reached our capital, so it is not considered valuable. If you want it, Baishi is willing to give it to you."
After saying that, Liu Baishi looked at Xier and said, "Xier, go get the 25-meter bright flame wire."
Xier nodded, looked at Su Changan strangely, then turned and left.
I really came here to ask for that thin thread.
Wow, is there really a man who can resist the charm of this lady?
The little maid was filled with surprise.
But since the lady has given the order, of course I have to hurry and get the things, there is no time to delay.
Su Changan was happy when he heard that he could get this length of open flame wire. After all, he didn't expect to get it so easily.
But looking at Liu Baishi, Su Changan continued, "I have another unwelcome request."
Liu Baishi immediately said, "Master, just let me say it. If I can do it, I will naturally do my best to assist."
Su Changan smiled and said, "Can I see the device that Miss White Lion used to hang you when she was dancing that day?"
Liu Baishi was stunned for a moment. She was not the kind of woman who was full of confidence and thought that all men in the world would fall at her feet.
During the previous Mid-Autumn Festival, wasn’t there a couple kissing, but the man didn’t even look at her?
But usually, people who came to see her either came to watch her dancing or wanted to drink with her. Why was this person like this?
Or is it because you are too embarrassed to say it directly, so you keep it like this? ?
After all, it's the same to tell my mother these things, so why should she come to see me specially?
Thinking of this, Liu Baishi felt that the man in front of him must be a thin-skinned young man, otherwise why would he ask for the card of Prime Minister Li to come to him, and then he only wanted the bright fire wire and the mechanism. So after thinking for a while, he said: "Young master, do you want to see Baishi perform the flying dance? If so, Baishi will prepare and can perform for you."
Su Changan shook his head and said, "Miss, you misunderstood. I just came to see the device that hangs you. I will go back after I see it. Miss, your dancing is indeed beautiful, but I will definitely do it next time, definitely next time."
The little maid Xier also came back with a cloth bag at this time, but when she heard Su Changan's words, she was a little surprised, because it was the first time she heard someone reject a young lady like this!
Liu Baishi was also stunned for a moment and looked at Su Changan with a strange expression.
Su Changan saw that Liu Baishi had misunderstood something, so he smiled helplessly, pointed at the sign and said, "Miss Baishi, you misunderstood. I'm not here to have fun. I really just came to buy some of those silk threads and take a look at the device. I need these things for what I'm going to do, so I came here specially."
Liu Baishi glanced at the sign, then looked at the masked young man with an even stranger look.
Chapter 167 The Queen has no mercy on women!!
Is it true?
But what I want, I just have to ask my mother for.
Liu Baishi looked at Su Changan with confusion.
Su Changan felt Liu Baishi's gaze and felt a little embarrassed.
But he also understood why Liu Baishi looked at him like that.
After all, you came to a brothel, and you really came here to do business. Especially when you met an courtesan like Liu Baishi, you didn't even come to watch her performance or anything, but just came to ask for things. It was really rare.
Su Changan was helpless, looking at Liu Baishi and explained, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Miss Baishi. I have a wife at home, so I made such a sign. Otherwise, I can't explain it clearly to my wife. Especially since she is a jealous person, you can't mess with her. Otherwise, the girl is so beautiful, I must have a good chat with her, and I want to see her famous piano skills in the capital. My wife and I have seen Miss Baishi dancing with this Minghuo silk before, so I wondered if you have extra Minghuo silk, so I specially asked for the jade sign before coming to see you."
Xier walked to Liu Baishi with a cloth bag in her arms. Naturally, there was a fire thread inside the cloth bag.
But Xier looked at Su Changan and, how should I put it, she didn't quite believe what he said.
Because ever since she followed the young lady, she has never seen a man who could refuse her own young lady.
However, the other maids did not dare to think too much about it, after all, it was the noble man who could bring the jade token to see the young lady.
Even a young lady cannot be provoked easily, let alone a little maid like her.
Liu Baishi was a little surprised. He and his wife came to see
Thinking of this, Liu Baishi couldn't help but look at the words "I'm very beautiful" written on the sign. She inexplicably thought of the woman she saw on the Mid-Autumn Festival, who was the one she could never reach.
But if you think about it carefully, that is a woman, how could it be the person in front of you, and that person’s partner is also a man.
So I thought about it and felt that I was overthinking, so I stopped thinking about it.
However, thinking about what he had just said, he felt that he had been a little too sentimental, and felt embarrassed for a moment, so he said apologetically: "Bai Shi was overthinking, and it should be Bai Shi who apologized to the young master."
Su Changan glanced at the bright fire silk in Xi'er's arms and asked, "Miss Baishi, how much did you pay for these things? I can use more silver to buy them. It's really bad to take them for free."
Liu Baishi was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "Young Master, you don't know, these are all given by that Persian merchant. Baishi doesn't know the price, but from what the Persian merchant said, they are cheap and not expensive, so you can just take them. I think you respect your wife at home, so you dress like this and buy this brand from Baishi to buy this Minghuo silk. It should be used for something very important. Baishi admires the relationship between you and your wife, so just take it as Baishi's token of appreciation."
Su Changan looked at Liu Baishi.
Otherwise, she is the most beautiful girl. She is well-educated and well-mannered.
Being afraid of your wife, you claim to respect her at home.
And you said it so appropriately.
But since Liu Baishi said it was a free gift, I couldn't just take it for free. But since Liu Baishi didn't tell me the price, I couldn't keep any money for myself.
Thinking of this, Su Changan curled his lips. If he had known earlier, he should have gone to Dianjiangchun to get two sets of rouge when he went out today, so that he could have changed directly.
Su Changan was wearing a mask, so his expression could not be seen.
But Liu Baishi had seen many people, and seeing Su Changan's current state, he must be thinking about how to get it for free, so he immediately said: "Young Master, do you still want to take a look at the hanging mechanism?"
Su Changan heard this and nodded immediately: "Yes."
Liu Baishi smiled and said, "Follow me this way."
After saying that, he gestured to Xier.
Xier was stunned for a moment, then put the cloth bag in her arms into Linghua's arms.
Linghua picked it up subconsciously.
Just as Su Changan was about to say something, he saw Liu Baishi had already walked to the door and was leading the way.
Su Changan was helpless, but he let Linghua take it first. He definitely couldn't take it for free. He would think about it later.
There is a staircase in the backyard of the Shihua Pavilion, which leads directly to the third floor of the Shihua Pavilion.
Liu Baishi said that the device was on the third floor. When he went to dance, he would go directly from the backyard to the third floor, put on special clothes, and dance the "Flying Dance".
This was not a secret in the industry. After all, people in other brothels also did this, so Liu Baishi did not hide it.
When Su Changan followed Liu Baishi to the third floor.
The flower pavilion was bustling with activity.
Because the man who was wearing a strange mask and holding a sign just now actually had Miss Chang'an's writing.
This matter is much more serious than his sensationalism.
And it's only a moment
Not to mention the guests in the lobby on the first floor.
Even everyone in the private room on the second floor knew about it.
Among them, naturally, were Xun Kuang and others.
Xun Kuang frowned, "I said that person looked familiar. I felt like I've seen him somewhere before. And since he was able to get Miss Chang'an's writings, maybe you and I know him."
Yuan Ruxi said helplessly: "You have been talking about it since you found out. Besides, if someone has it, it is theirs. Now that it has been given to Miss White Lion, what does it have to do with you?"
Xun Kuang frowned, "Yuan Ruxi, you are a scholar in vain! Those are the writings of Miss Chang'an. Any one of them is shocking. I just cheated the cat doctor. Ahem, I begged for a packet of medicine. When I opened it, I saw the sentence 'Ask the world, what is love? It makes people pledge to each other in life and death'."
"Now there is another sentence to read, how can I remain calm? Don't forget, even if the teacher wants a piece of writing by Miss Chang'an, it will cost a lot, let alone us."
Yuan Ruxi held the wine in his hand, and recited this poem, sighing with emotion: "All things in the world, love reaches its extreme, life and death are promised, how deep is the love."
Yan Shu and others heard this sentence for the first time, but when they heard it, they were immediately surprised.
Although the words and sentences are straightforward and the language is simple and natural, this simple sentence, as Mr. Yuan lamented, expresses the profound feelings of all things in the world.
The three of them looked at each other in shock.
When it comes to poetry and prose, Miss Chang'an is truly the best.
Several girls from the flower garden, although illiterate, knew a few words and had read a few books. When they heard these words, they felt inexplicably sad and felt that the word love was truly great.
One of the girls silently wrote it down, thinking that she would write it to Sister Bai Shi when she had time. She loved Miss Chang'an's poems the most.
Especially since this sentence has never been mentioned by anyone, I think only Lord Xun and the others know it. Sister Baishi will definitely be happy at that time.
Xun Kuang shook his head and stood up and said, "I'll go wait outside. Even if I can't see Miss White Lion, I can go up to the masked man and ask him what the text is about. And I definitely know that man!"
Having said this, Xun Kuang walked straight outside.
As soon as I walked out, I saw many people in the private rooms on the second floor coming out one after another.
Some of them, like Xun Kuang, wanted to know the content of the text.
Or you may want to buy it directly.
Others wanted to know where it was taken from.
It's not surprising that these people do this. It's really that Su Changan's writings are too precious. Even a random sentence in them is incomparable to the poems created by other students.
That's why everyone behaves like this.
Of course, there are also people who buy now with the belief that the price will definitely go up in the future.
After all, after Su Changan marries His Majesty, the price will be different.
Xun Kuang looked around and found that the man should not have come out, so he thought of waiting at the fence on the second floor.
And the third floor at this time.
Liu Baishi had already brought Su Changan and the other three to the third floor.
On both sides of the third floor directly above the hall are devices with open flames hanging from them.
Su Changan looked at the device.
Liu Baishi also gave a brief introduction on the side.
