The tallest building in Flower Street is Xiaoqing Tower. Mu Nanjin stood on the roof, enjoying the cool summer breeze and releasing his spiritual sense to check the situation in Flower Street.
Apart from seeing some discordant and eye-catching images and hearing the sounds of sauces and brews, everything was beautiful.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a loud bang outside the city.
Mu Nanjin immediately used his spiritual sense to check the situation, and saw Feng Sinan and the people from the Six Gates capturing a black monster.
The monster was particularly cunning. After fighting with Feng Sinan and the others, it quickly dived underground. In addition, Feng Sinan needed to hide his strength for his own reasons, so he was unable to deal with the monster for a while.
After burrowing into the ground, the monster rushed into the city. Wherever it went, the ground shook, houses collapsed, and many people were affected.
However, the people did not know that it was a monster causing trouble, and they thought there was an earthquake in the city.
Mu Nanjin looked back at Xiaoqing Tower, then at Yixin Courtyard, which was not far away, and Chunfeng Pavilion, another brothel. Although these three places were considered dirty in the eyes of others, they were very expensive. If they were destroyed by monsters, it would definitely cost a lot of money to rebuild them, and the losses during the period would be incalculable.
Also, if someone dies in the building, we definitely can’t do business.
Mu Nanjin pondered for a moment, then jumped down from the roof. He introduced spiritual power to set up a defensive formation in Xiaoqing Tower, Yixinyuan and Chunfeng Pavilion. Any monster that wanted to sneak in would be attacked by the formation.
By the time she had set up the formation, the outer city had already returned to peace.
Mu Nanjin released his spiritual sense again and saw Feng Sinan and the people from the Six Gates chasing the monster, but because the monster did not come out of the ground, it finally escaped.
Feng Sinan had no choice but to return to the capital with the Six Gates.
The people from the Six Gates were still in a daze. It was the first time they saw a monster and they could not accept the fact that there really were monsters in the world.
Feng Si Nan arrived at Hua Street and saw Mu Nan Jin standing on the street waiting for them. He instructed Men Du and the others, "Although we didn't get rid of the monster, it was frightened and will not appear again in a short time. Everyone can go back and rest first."
"Yes." The gatekeeper and everyone else dispersed.
Feng Sinan stopped Mu Nanjin and said, "Guard Mu, everyone was injured just now, but you are the only one who is fine. You continue to patrol here until someone wants to change shifts with you."
Mu Nanjin: “…”
[He really is blaming me.]
【Then complain, complain. 】
[There is a saying that goes, the deeper the resentment, the deeper the love. ]
[Sooner or later, one day you will blame me to the point of being unable to extricate yourself, and that will be when you love me to the extreme. ]
Feng Simon: “…”
There will never be such a day.
After they left, Mu Nanjin patrolled Hua Street and went home.
At noon the next day, the Six Gates sent someone to exchange money with Mu Nanjin. However, when they arrived at Huajie, they couldn't find Mu Nanjin, so they sent someone to the Duwei Mansion to inquire.
Unexpectedly, Mu Nanjin was not in the Duwei Mansion either.
Captain Liu ran to the Mu Mansion to look for someone.
The housekeeper of the Mu Mansion said, "The young lady left before tea."
Captain Liu asked, "Do you know where she went?"
"Isn't she on duty?" The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right, she said 'I'm going to see the governor first' before she left. She must have gone to see the governor."
There were several black lines on Captain Liu's forehead.
Is this little girl going to help the governor wash his underwear again?
When he thought of this possibility, he quickly rode back to the Duwei Mansion and then went straight to the Dudu's Office.
Not seeing the fluttering white underwear, Captain Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
But he was worried, so he pretended to pass by the governor's office and took a look inside.
Inside the room, the governor was frowning as he looked at the red invitation.
Was this an invitation from an enemy?
Otherwise, why would he look so full of hatred?
Captain Liu didn't think much about it. Seeing that Mu Nanjin was not there, he returned to his own office.
Then, he heard Captain Liang read out: "I invite all my colleagues to come to the flower boat on Qingyu Lake to enjoy the lake, the moon, and the flowers..."
Captain Liu was puzzled: "What kind of flower is this reward?"
Captain Liang and his men laughed and handed the invitation to Captain Liu: "Take a look for yourself."
Captain Liu took the invitation and quickly glanced through it, his mouth twitching: "Mu Nanjin invites us to attend the Oiran Banquet the day after tomorrow?"
"We must go to the first courtesan banquet." Liang Baihu said with a smile, "But we can't wear Jinyiwei uniforms this time."
Captain Liu frowned and said, "I don't know what she is up to."
"No matter what she does, we have Lord Kan and his men to help us. We can't do anything about it."
Captain Liu asked, "Did Mu Nanjin also invite Lord Kan?"
"Not only did we invite Lord Kan, we also invited Lord Governor."
Captain Liu thought of the governor who was just reading the invitation and felt both amused and angry: "Only Mu Nanjin would dare to send this kind of invitation to the governor."
Captain Liang hugged the captain next to him and asked with a smile: "Do you think the governor will go?"
"Well... I don't think the governor will go." said the captain on the left.
The captain on the right said, "I also think the governor won't go. He never likes to join in the fun."
Liang Baihu asked: "Shall we have a gamble?"
Captain Liu quickly stopped him: "If you don't want to be punished by the governor, don't bet on the governor."
Captain Liang smiled and said, "I was just saying it casually, but I won't really bet on the governor."
Captain Liu put down the invitation and asked, "Where is Mu Nanjin?"
"She has gone to the palace."
"What is she doing in the palace?"
Captain Liu didn't remember that Mu Nanjin had been summoned to the palace, and it was not her turn to be on duty in the palace today.
"She said she was going to deliver the invitations."
Captain Liu couldn't help but raise his voice: "Send an invitation to the palace? Who did she send the invitation to in the palace? Who is she on good terms with in the palace?"
"If you don't know, then we don't know either."
“…”
Captain Liu thought about it and the only thing he could think of was Princess Xueyu. Ever since the incident with the Jade Face Pill, Princess Xueyu had a very good impression of Mu Nanjin.
He once met Princess Xueyu by chance, and Princess Xueyu specifically asked him about Mu Nanjin's condition.
However, Captain Liu would never have imagined that an invitation exactly the same as theirs would be placed on the dragon table in the imperial study.
When the emperor returned to his study after court, he saw the invitation on the table and asked the chief eunuch, "Who sent this?"
The chief eunuch called the young eunuch who was guarding the door of the imperial study. The young eunuch looked confused and said, "To answer your question, sir, no one came to the imperial study this morning, and no one sent an invitation."
The chief eunuch pointed angrily at the invitation on the dragon case and asked, "What's wrong with the invitation on the case?"
When the young eunuch saw the invitation, he knelt down with a thump and said, "I really have never seen anyone enter the imperial study."
"you……"
The emperor interrupted the chief eunuch and said, "You will know who sent it when you open the invitation."
"yes."
The chief eunuch waved his hand at the young eunuch and said, "Go away."
The young eunuch was afraid that he would be beheaded if he walked a step slower, so he quickly retreated.
"Oiran banquet?"
The emperor couldn't help but think of Mu Nanjin.
If he guessed correctly, the invitation was given by Mu Nanjin.
The emperor laughed.
Mu Nanjin must have been certain about his attitude towards Princess Chen before she sent him the invitation.
【The emperor saw the invitation. 】
The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard Mu Nanjin's thoughts. Is this little girl nearby?
[He should come to the Oiran Banquet, right? ]
[If he comes, there is no need to worry about the security at the scene. ]
[If someone causes trouble, I will just yell: Protect the emperor——]
Immediately afterwards, countless figures jumped to the door of the imperial study and surrounded the study.
At that moment, the eunuch chief was shocked.
“…”
The emperor looked at the secret guards, the imperial commander, and the royal guards filling the entire courtyard, and suddenly felt powerless, and was both angry and amused.
[Hahaha, yes, that's right, it's like this now. I just need to shout "Protect the emperor", and all the guards will come out from all directions to protect the emperor. Then not only will the emperor sitting on the brothel boat be safe, but even the people in my brothel will be safe.]
Mu Nanjin was almost laughing in his heart when he realized something was wrong.
[Uh… Speaking of which, why are the secret guards, royal guards, and imperial guards all here? Are there assassins here? ]
Everyone: “…”
They wanted to kill someone.
[Since there is an assassin, let Brother Tianyuan deal with it. I will go and deliver the invitation to the Queen Mother and the others.]
Mu Nanjin left quietly.
emperor:"……"
She also wants to invite the Queen Mother and others to see the Oiran?
The emperor waved his hand with a headache: "Everyone go down."
"Yes." The secret guards, the commander-in-chief, and the imperial guards left the imperial study as quickly as possible.
The chief eunuch secretly glanced at the emperor's face and was unsure whether the emperor should attend the courtesan banquet or not.
The emperor took the invitation, looked at the time on it, and put it in the drawer.
Then he picked up the memorial submitted by the Six Gates Supervisor and flipped through it. After reading it, he frowned and said, "A demon is causing trouble..."
Are there really monsters in this world? Of course there are.
There was one standing at the entrance of Dengxing Pavilion.
When Mu Nanjin delivered the invitation to Feng Sinan, he saw Heitan still standing at the door, so he walked over and tore off the talisman paper: "Why are you still here?"
Heitan said angrily, "I let you ride every day, and I also send you up and down duty, but I am fixed here but you don't care about me, you have no conscience, little girl."
Mu Nanjin didn't ignore him, he just forgot about him for the time being: "I'll ask Xu Bo to prepare a basket of green grass for you."
Heitan snorted, "I'm very unhappy. No matter what you say to comfort me, it's useless."
Mu Nanjin was silent for a moment, and then said, "This morning I asked Uncle Xu to go to the horse farm and pick out a beautiful mare..."
This is a carriage prepared for Xu Bo to go outside the city to cut weeds in the future. Moreover, with the carriage, it will be much more convenient for the mansion to go outside for purchases in the future.
Heitan snorted twice, then rushed back to the Mu Mansion as fast as he could and came to the stable where he used to stay.
When he saw that there was really an extra animal in the shed, he ran over excitedly.
When he saw clearly what kind of animal was inside, the smile on his face froze.
"Mr. Black, why are you in the stable?"
Xu Bo, who was preparing to feed the animals in the stable, asked him with a smile.
Heitan pointed at the animal inside and said angrily, "It's a donkey. It's a donkey."
Xu Bo was stunned for a moment: "Yes, it's a donkey. What's the problem with it being a donkey?"
Heitan became even angrier: "Mu Nanjin lied to me."
Xu Bo was puzzled: "How did the girl lie to you?"
"She said she asked you to buy a mare this morning."
Xu Bo nodded and said, "Indeed, they asked me to buy a horse, but it was too expensive, so I bought a donkey instead."
Black Charcoal: “…”
"Ah uh - ah uh -" The female donkey walked up to Heitan and sniffed him. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she bit his sleeve excitedly.
"Don't bite my sleeve." Heitan pulled his sleeve angrily, but was afraid of tearing it, so he didn't dare to use too much force.
The donkey loosened his sleeves and licked his face with her tongue.
Heitan's eyes widened: "You, you, you..."
Xu Bo smiled and said, "This donkey likes Mr. Hei very much?"
Then, Heitan rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Mr. Hei, Mr. Hei..." Xu Bo was stunned and shouted anxiously: "Zhenzhu, go call the doctor quickly, and find the girl back."
It was already 3 p.m. when Mu Nanjin returned to the Mu Mansion, and only then did she realize that Heitan had fainted.
After asking what happened, she found out that the dignified first-class horse king actually fainted...
For this reason, Heitan hid in the house for a whole day and night and did not come out, because he was too ashamed to see anyone.
Mu Nanjin was focusing on the matter of the oiran and had no time to care about his business. She had been looking forward to the day of selecting the oiran for a long time, and finally the day had arrived.
Early in the morning, the top prostitutes in the major brothels in the capital would get up and dress up, and the madams would put all the precious jewellery and expensive clothes on the top prostitutes.
After noon, the dressed-up top performers will parade through the streets with the team so that everyone can witness their style and demeanor, so that the people can decide who they think will be the top performer.
At night, people can throw golden flowers to their favorite top performers.
The top prostitute who gets more golden flowers will be the new oiran.
The first golden flower in each person's hand is obtained for free. If you want to give more golden flowers to the top card, you have to buy them with silver. Each golden flower is worth one or two taels of silver. The shape of the golden flowers bought with silver is different from the golden flowers in the hands of the people.
When the Oiran Banquet is over, the top performer and the Oirans can exchange the gold flowers they purchased for silver.
In order to get more money, the top prostitutes in each brothel tried their best to show themselves. When parading in the streets, they would use all means to show off their beauty or perform striptease to attract everyone's attention.
Of course, not every top prostitute is like this, for example, the top prostitute of Yixinyuan is different. She plays music in a carriage, and the windows of the carriage are made of white gauze. People on the street can only vaguely see a beautiful figure through the gauze window.
Although the person inside could not be seen clearly, everyone's attention was still attracted by her, and they could not control their bodies and moved along with the Yixinyuan carriage.
The women who were originally standing on the street and cursing the top stars as shameless bitches couldn't help but stop shouting and stared at the woman in the car in a daze.
"Who, who is that girl?"
Someone walked over and said with a smile: "That's the top girl in Yixinyuan. Please be so kind as to give her a golden flower."
The women nodded subconsciously, and only came to their senses after the carriage had gone away. Then they found that there was a small flower folded with gold paper in their hands.
Thank you Banxia and Bi'an Meishang for the reward, mua [asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a monthly ticket]
