After crossing, I was miserable.

At this time, in the room of the leader, the servant hurried over.

"Sir, there is still no sign of Master Zhang. The madam has brought people here."

After he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

"Xiao Li, get ready, it's your turn soon. You know I can't do anything about it, so don't hate me. If you follow Prince Wang, you will have endless wealth and glory in the future."

He looked at Su Luoli without even looking at him, and after saying that, he patted Su Luoli's shoulder and left.

"Sir," Xiao Qi said anxiously.

"Put on your makeup." Su Luoli just glanced in the direction of the door and said without any expression on her face.

At this time, Qian Duoduo was still immersed in this cheerful atmosphere, drinking wine leisurely.

He smacked his lips and felt that the wine was too light, not at all as strong as the ones in later generations.

I was thinking about whether I should try some wine. After all, drinking is something that is better enjoyed with others than alone.

Ah, speaking of drinking, I think of barbecue. Although there are barbecues and other foods now, the taste is really not that good. One day I should discuss with Shopkeeper Zhou whether I need to open a barbecue restaurant again.

At this moment, a cheer came from downstairs.

A man in red came in, his hair was only slightly raised on the top of his head, and most of his long hair was down. He had just the right eyebrows, a pair of fox eyes, and a veil.

The veil is actually very thin, and through the high nose bridge, one can still make out the general outline of her appearance, but there is a kind of mysterious beauty that is looming.

She is dressed in red, looking extremely charming, so beautiful that it is hard to tell whether she is male or female.

When the man in red gently took off his veil, the only sound was the sound of people taking a deep breath.

"The daughter of the eastern family, if she grows one inch taller, she is too tall; if she loses one inch, she is too short; if she puts on powder, she is too white; if she puts on rouge, she is too red. Her eyebrows are like emerald feathers, her skin is like white snow, her waist is like a piece of silk, and her teeth are like pearls. Her charming smile can fascinate Yangcheng and enchant Xiacai."

The man in red walked gently to the center of the stage and played the piano softly.

The melodious piano music came out from his fingertips and the whole audience was silent.

The sound of the piano is gentle and continuous, like a mountain spring meandering out of a valley and flowing slowly.

The previous atmosphere was completely changed in an instant.

If the previous bustle was the sound of enjoyment belonging to the mundane world, then the piano sounds now are like running water in the mountains, and the situations may sound lingering and sad, or like the gurgling of springs, or like the ringing of bells on galloping horses.

Its reverberation is of moderate length, and is most suitable for expressing solemn and simple lyrical music. The sound of the zither is like the gurgling water under the bridge, the clear cry of a solitary wild goose flying by, and Yi An's gentle sigh.

Completely different conception.

What a talented person.

Qian Duoduo thought that such a talent should not fall into the hands of anyone.

So he called the shop boy and asked about the bidding specifications.

The bidding format is very simple and crude, the highest bidder wins.

Qian Duoduo was very confident about this, so he told the waiter that no matter how much the other party offered, he was willing to offer one hundred taels more than the other party, with no upper limit.

The waiter looked at Qian Duoduo in surprise, agreed, and hurried to find the madam.

The madam was silent for a while after hearing this: "Are you sure you didn't hear it wrong?"

"Yes, it was that young master who specifically called me in. He first asked about the rules, and then when he heard that the highest bidder wins, he looked relieved. Then he told me to call out the price, and no matter who bids, it must be ten taels of silver higher than the other party." After saying this, he lowered his head slightly, waiting for the madam's instructions.

"Have you seen this gentleman before? Was he Xiao Li's previous guest?"

"I've never seen him before. Judging from his accent, he's from another place." The waiter replied respectfully.

"Oh? How does he look and talk?"

"He's not bad looking, a bit delicate. Judging from his clothes, he must be from a wealthy family. But he looks a bit young, so I guess he's someone's son."

After hearing this, the madam breathed a sigh of relief.

"Keep an eye on it. As long as the money is in place, go ahead."

"Yes".

The waiter then returned to Qian Duoduo's room on the third floor and brought a sign with the room name on it, which was used for bidding.

The madam looked at Su Luoli downstairs and said, "It can't be any worse than the current situation."

After Su Luoli finished a song, he quickly stood up, bowed slightly, and slowly retreated.

Immediately, the audience was dissatisfied, and then the store's madam came up.

"Everyone, everyone. I'm very glad that you all have come tonight. As you all know, our leader Su Luoli is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a little knowledge of poetry and lyrics. I am grateful for your care. Tonight, right now, I want to find someone who is destined to spend the night with me."

"Ahem, everyone knows our rules. I won't say much, so as not to delay your night of pleasure. The starting price is five hundred taels."

After he finished speaking, there was a roar from the audience.

"I'll give you five hundred taels,"

"I'll give you five hundred and fifty taels,"

......

The prices below are also getting higher, but the increases are all small.

"One thousand taels, our young master will pay one thousand taels." Someone shouted from three private rooms on the third floor.

The waiter looked at Qian Duoduo, who nodded slightly and said, "One thousand taels, to make it an even number."

After saying that, he drank his wine leisurely.

Although this wine is light, it tastes much better than tea.

"One thousand taels, one thousand taels from the orchid room."

Everyone gasped.

This is Xiao Qi who was beside Su Luoli and secretly ran back to Su Luoli's room.

"Sir, it seems that Master Zhang has returned. I see someone has offered a price of one thousand taels."

Su Luoli frowned slightly. What Mr. Zhang? He must have run away with her money long ago.

Even if he didn't run away, the money I gave him was definitely not one thousand taels, and it couldn't have been borrowed by him. If he came back, there was no way he wouldn't come here first.

Su Luoli said: "Go and find out what kind of person he is."

"Ah? Isn't it Master Zhang?"

After asking this, Xiao Qi saw that the young master frowned, dared not speak, and ran away in a hurry again.

After a while, he came back, "Sir, sir, the price has been raised to two thousand taels. I heard that it seems to be a foreigner. He has been bidding with the Minister, but there is no one around. It is Xiao Li who is bidding in his room."

As long as he is not the son of the Minister, there may still be a glimmer of hope.

Xiao Qi looked at the young master without saying anything and ran away in a hurry again.

When I got to the front, I heard the madam shouting, "Three thousand taels for one time, three thousand taels for two times, do you have more? If not, three thousand taels, Xiao Li's woman will belong to the young master of Lanhuajian."

Qian Duoduo was drinking slowly and leisurely.

I thought to myself: "Comparing money with me, you little bastard, I can't kill you."

"Five thousand taels, our young master will pay five thousand taels."

There was an uproar downstairs. Everyone knew that the young minister had already spread the word that he was determined to get Su Luoli, but he didn't expect that someone would show up halfway.

The waiter looked back at Qian Duoduo. Although the customer indicated that he should keep bidding, the price had already reached five thousand taels. He didn't know if he still had the money. If he didn't have the money, and he was acting like a big shot, not only he but himself would be in trouble.

So I asked tentatively: "Sir, should we raise the price?"

"Oh, what a hassle. Keep raising the price. Six thousand taels, so we can save the trouble."

The waiter swallowed his saliva and said loudly: "Lanhuajian---six thousand taels."

Just when everyone was discussing the five thousand taels, Lan Huajian, who had been raising the price all the time, unexpectedly raised the price again to six thousand taels.

Now everyone is curious about the person in the Orchid Room. Who is he and why is he so rich?

Prince Wang, the Minister of Lihuajian, was so angry that his teeth itched. He had emptied all his money to get five thousand taels, but he ended up with someone even more shameless. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go."

Then, everyone saw Prince Wang leaving with a group of servants.

"Six thousand taels."
