Chapter 1486: Even as a Ghost, He Is Also Romantic

The southeast is a beautiful place, the capital of the Three Wus, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.

The willows and painted bridges, the wind curtains and green curtains, and the scattered houses of 100,000 people.

Hangzhou is still so prosperous. Since the last college entrance examination, Jiang Hao came to Hangzhou again a few months later. This time, his mood is obviously different. Last time, it was for the imperial examination, and this time, it was to subdue the demon.

Before entering the city, Jiang Hao took back Luo Zong's purple gold gourd, drove a carriage and stayed in a restaurant, then packed up, changed into a brand new robe, held a folding fan in his hand, and walked to the street like a handsome young man.

Now it is late autumn, the weather is just right, and the streets are crowded and lively. Seeing noon, Jiang Hao walked into a luxurious restaurant.

Before entering the restaurant, Jiang Hao glanced across the street. Across the street was the largest brothel in Hangzhou City, "Yuxianlou".

As soon as he entered the restaurant, a waiter came up to greet him. Seeing Jiang Hao's clothes, the sachet and jade pendant on his waist, he knew that this young man had a good family background. He immediately nodded and greeted him: "Are you dining alone or meeting friends?"

"I'm alone."

"There is one last table on the second floor. Do you want to reserve it?"

"Oh~ Is there anything special?" Jiang Hao asked in surprise.

The waiter was amused. He was still pretending to be innocent with me. How many people who come to our restaurant to eat don't want to see Miss Yuxian's beautiful face.

"Are you from another place?"

"Jinhua."

"Oh, so you are a young man from Jinhua Prefecture. Have you seen the 'Yuxian Building' opposite us? Miss Yuxian gets up at this time every day. The second floor is right opposite Miss Yuxian's dressing room. If you are lucky, you can see Miss Yuxian's beautiful face." The waiter lowered his voice.

"Who is Miss Yuxian?" Jiang Hao asked.

Hearing Jiang Hao's question, the waiter immediately became excited.

"Miss Yuxian is the most beautiful girl in Hangzhou. She is so beautiful. How did those scholars praise her? Yes, she has willow eyebrows, almond eyes, a beautiful face, bright and charming, and a natural beauty. Moreover, Miss Yuxian is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers and tea. She does not entertain guests easily. Anyone who wants to enter her hall must be favored by Miss Yuxian."

"Miss Yuxian has too high requirements, so naturally many people don't have the opportunity to see her. However, Miss Yuxian gets up at this time every day and may show up on the balcony. If you eat on the second floor, you may have the honor of seeing Miss Yuxian."

Jiang Hao nodded to show his understanding, "I was wondering why a friend introduced me to your restaurant for lunch. I didn't know there was such a rule. Let's go to the second floor."

The waiter laughed, "Sir, there is a rule on the second floor. No matter how many people there are, you have to pay at least two taels of silver to occupy a table."

Hehe, there is also a minimum consumption.

Jiang Hao reached into his sleeves and pulled out a five-liang silver ingot, which he threw directly to the waiter, who hurriedly took it.

"Good wine and good food, please come." Jiang Hao said as he went upstairs.

"Okay, I will make sure to arrange it for you."

The waiter followed him upstairs and led Jiang Hao to a table on the second floor. Jiang Hao saw that several tables on the second floor were already full, but people's minds did not seem to be on the table, and their eyes were all staring out the window.

Jiang Hao turned his head and found that the second floor of the restaurant was just opposite the second floor of the brothel. Although they were separated by a street, the situation on the opposite side could be seen clearly.

There was a circle of balconies facing the outside of the second floor. A group of young and beautiful women in gorgeous clothes were sitting on the balcony, talking or flirting. The atmosphere was very lively. Occasionally, they would look at the restaurant and then laugh for a while.

Jiang Hao thought, no wonder,

Such scenery would naturally attract men who would not be in the mood to eat.

The food and wine were very rich. He poured himself a drink while the others were eating and chatting, all paying attention to the opposite side.

Just then, someone suddenly whispered, "Look, look, the window of Miss Yuxian's house is open."

There was a commotion in the restaurant, and people stared with wide eyes and stretched their necks to look.

"She is so beautiful, without makeup, just sitting there is so beautiful."

"Her lazy look is intoxicating, it's worth a drink." After saying that, someone picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp while looking at the beauty opposite.

"Ah, I'm so lucky today, this meal is not wasted."

Hearing the voice, Jiang Hao also turned his head to look over, and saw a woman sitting by the dressing table in a flash, only showing her side face, and a little maid behind her was styling her hair.

Although only 70% can be seen, it can be seen from this side face that this woman has a beautiful appearance.

Hearing the noisy voice on the opposite side.

The woman turned her head slightly, and her pair of high eyebrows and phoenix eyes glanced at the restaurant side lightly, with a charming and cold look.

This woman has skin as white as snow and bright red lips. The most attractive thing is her eyes. She exudes a cold temperament from inside to outside. When she looks at the men in the restaurant opposite, it is as if she sees a group of ants and bitches. There is a bit of disdain in her coldness.

"Wow~ So beautiful, this look is so seductive!"

"No wonder she won the Hangzhou Flower Queen three times."

"She is charming and beautiful. If I can spend a night with her, I will be willing to die."

"To die under the peony flower, I will be romantic even as a ghost!" Someone shook his head and chanted.

Jiang Hao sneered in his heart after hearing what these guys said. They are all a bunch of bitches who are despised by others and still say good things.

If you really spend a night with her, I am afraid you will really become a ghost under the flowers.

Because this woman is the chief steward of Wutongshen who is in charge of the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and her strength has reached the level of ghost king.

If you want to sleep with her, you may have to pay a heavy price.

Jiang Hao opened his eyes and scanned the woman's body, and found that there was no ghostly energy on the woman's body. He immediately used the power of the City God to check. At this glance, the woman immediately had nothing to hide. Jiang Hao discovered that the ghostly body on the woman's body had already disappeared. Condensed into essence, it has definitely reached the level of Ghost King.

Not only her, but the maid next to her who combs her hair is also a ghost, and her strength has reached the level of a high-level ghost general.

Fortunately, the other women in this building are ordinary people, otherwise Jiang Hao wouldn't know if the men in Hangzhou City are enough for them.

Back then, Grandma Dryad only dared to set up the place of harm in the wilderness like Lanruo Temple, but this woman was lucky enough to set up the place in the city.

Jiang Hao estimated that they relied on the power of incense and vows to protect their bodies. It was extremely difficult for other monks to identify their identities, so they dared to be so blatant.

This can also understand why she doesn't love money, because she really is not short of money. How can a woman with the strength of the Ghost King be short of money.

The discussion in the restaurant became louder and louder. At this time, a guy dressed as a rich man stood up, walked to the window and shouted to the other side:

"Miss Jade Fairy, I am Ma Wencai of the Ma family. I have passed the scholar examination. I wonder if I can come to the girl's room to drink wine and talk about poetry and painting?"

Marven just finished shouting and looked at the opposite side with a confident smile.

This Ma Wencai is quite handsome. He is wearing a gorgeous brocade robe. He can tell at a glance that he has a good family background. His identity has just been revealed. He has been admitted as a scholar. He is rich and talented. He feels that he is worthy of the beauty of the Jade Fairy. .

The woman opposite didn't move at all, but the little maid walked to the window. Ma Wencai looked at it and immediately said with a smile: "Miss Caiyun, did Miss Yuxian agree?"

This little girl's name is Caiyun.

The little girl turned her back on Ma Wencai and didn't say anything. She just pulled the window and closed it with a snap.

People were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Brother Ma, I've had a big meal today, hahaha."

"The bet that was decided before is a bottle of wine as a penalty. The waiter will bring the wine." Someone shouted.

There is everything in the building.

Then Marvin was standing by the window with a look of displeasure on his face, thinking to himself that he was just a prostitute, and it was so unreasonable to drag him like that. However, when the guy turned his head, there was just a smile on his face, and he returned to his table and said:

"It doesn't matter. I, Marvin, am willing to admit defeat. I drank this bottle of wine, but I remember there is a talent selection meeting tonight, but someone wants to participate with me."

"How do you want to bet?" someone asked.

"It's easy to say, if I am selected, you will pay for all subsequent expenses." Ma Wencai said.

If you want to drink wine and discuss poetry with the oiran, it will cost a lot of money. You can easily spend hundreds of taels at a time.

Several people looked at each other, and someone asked: "So what if you lost?"

"Haha, it's easy for me to lose. I'll charter a flower boat in the West Lake in the evening, and all the expenses will be mine." Ma Wencai said.

Upon hearing this, several people felt that they still had a good chance of winning, and they all agreed.

Jiang Hao listened to the conversations between a few people and knew that there was some kind of talent selection meeting that night. He guessed that it was a entertainment show in the brothel. However, he just happened to continue to explore the details of the woman, so he decided to come over that night to have a look.

After dinner, I took a walk on the street and bought some things. Then I walked into a theater and enjoyed a local Hangzhou opera. In modern times, this kind of opera has almost been lost or has changed beyond recognition. Maybe I am the only one. Only those who travel through time can appreciate the Tao.

At the end of the show, Jiang Hao rewarded him with a ten-tael piece of silver. The class leader and the actors were all impressed by the young master's generosity and thanked him profusely.

Some people even wondered if this man was interested in the singing role.

When he walked out of the theater, it was already dark. Jiang Hao walked directly to Yuxian Tower. The place was brightly lit at the moment, and it was many times more lively than during the day. As soon as Jiang Hao came over, the woman in charge of entertaining at the door saw him, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Judging by the way he is dressed and the accessories on his waist, you can tell that this person must be rich.

Just the jade pendant around his waist is worth hundreds of taels of silver.

"Hey, this handsome young man, you are a rare visitor, don't you know what to call me?"

The woman approached Jiang Hao, shook her handkerchief, and reached out to grab Jiang Hao's arm, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

"My surname is Jiang."

"It turns out to be Mr. Jiang, please come in and invite me in."

After letting Jiang Hao sit down at a table in the hall, Jiang Hao took out a piece of silver and put it on the table. The woman's smile became even stronger, and she touched the door with her hand and the silver disappeared, "I will serve you a table of wine and food. Please wait a moment." wait."

After the food and drinks were served, the lobby was very lively, with dancing and music on the sidelines. A group of women on the stage waved their sand sleeves and danced gracefully. The guests were bustling and happy.

Jiang Hao was still at another table in the hall and saw Ma Wencai and his friends whom he met at noon.

at this time,

Suddenly there was a "bang" sound.

The music stopped immediately, the dancers floated to both sides, and a woman in her thirties walked onto the stage. At first glance, this woman looked like a delicate and clear person. She must have been a beauty when she was young. She was Yun Niang, the person in charge of Yuxian Tower.

"Everyone, every three days, our Jade Fairy girl will select talents here. The Jade Fairy girl will ask questions, and everyone here will answer. If there is anyone who suits the girl's heart, you can go into the girl's room and sit across from her to drink tea. Let’s chat and have a heart-to-heart talk. As for what happens next, it all depends on your ability, hehehehe.”

With just a few words from this woman, people were captivated by her thoughts.

At this time, someone stood up from the audience. He was fat and wearing a brocade robe. It was obvious that he was a rich man. The man said in a rough voice: "Don't you spend money to get these flowery things? I am willing to pay 500 taels and let Miss Yuxian sleep with me tonight."

Yunniang smiled. She was not surprised at all when she heard the other party offer 500 taels of silver. She pretended to sigh with regret, "Alas, I am greedy, but our Yuxian only loves talented people, so I can only follow her."

"Okay, now the selection of talents will begin."

At this time, a little maid came with a note and read crisply: "Miss Yuxian said that today's theme is "Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting, Poetry, Wine, Flowers and Tea". You can write one or more poems. Naturally, the more the better, and the higher the quality, the better. As for the results, all the works will be read on the spot, and everyone can comment on them. Miss Yuxian also has her own judgment in her heart."

The servants came out with pens, ink, paper and inkstones and distributed them to each table. People began to think hard.

This topic is neither difficult nor hard. Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers and tea are topics that people often write poems about, but it is not easy to write a good one. After all, the predecessors have written so many poems, and almost all the good words have been written.

Jiang Hao thought about it, smiled in his heart, and had an idea in his mind.

He took out a pen and wrote on the paper. This time it was not an imperial examination, so he used beautiful running script.

He finished writing quickly and handed it to the servant next to him. The servant immediately took it and gave it to the little girl on the stage. Everyone else was surprised. Everyone else was still thinking hard, but this person had already finished it. It wouldn't be a random poem. This person was the first to hand in the paper to show off.

The little girl took the poem and scanned it, raised her eyes to look at Jiang Hao, and then read it crisply.

"A song sung by a soulmate lasts for a hundred years, leaving behind a name that has left a name in the world after all the worldly affairs.

The wild geese flying over the flat sands sing the aspirations of the scholars, the fishermen and woodcutters in the mountains and rivers ask for peace of mind.

The light melody makes me drunk, and the broken strings wake me up.

Even if there are thousands of strands of true love, who will listen if Ziqi is not here?"

When everyone heard it, they thought that this poem was well written, with quotations from classics and full of charm, and it was definitely a new poem that they had never heard of, and they immediately looked at Jiang Hao with a new eye.

At this moment, Jiang Hao shook his hands again, and the second poem was completed.

Everyone else looked at him in surprise, and the servant brought the second poem to the stage. The little girl was also surprised and immediately read it.

"Silent smoke rises, black and white clouds and rain.

Finding her eyes to search for clever strategies, concentrating on secretly maneuvering.

There is no boat at the end of the mountain and the water, but the road turns and the peaks return to a different world.

In a small space, the world is a dream, and even if you think twice before making a move, you will be happy."

Just then, a window in a room on the second floor opened halfway, revealing half of a woman's face, looking at the handsome and elegant man in the hall downstairs.
