Chapter 80: Beauty Trap
If it were someone else, for a male prostitute to compare himself with the ninth prince, the King of Qi, it would be a crime of disrespect.
But that person was Jiang Jiu, and Lu Yunyang was just delighted after hearing it.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiu changed the subject and said, "Not as pretty as Lu Yunyang, and not as heroic as Zhao Li. Young Master Linlang is still a little short of that."
Lu Yunyang glanced at Zhao Li coldly.
Since he came, Jiang Jiu has had another competitor in his life.
Just as everyone was surrounding Master Linlang and exclaiming in surprise, even louder exclamations came from the other side of the street.
"Master Yiyun is here, look at Master Yiyun..."
Perhaps Young Master Yiyun was more popular than Young Master Linlang, as all the women on the street ran away in an instant.
A float came not far away, and on the float sat a man in white. His clothes were white, his hat was white, his belt was white, and except for the blue hairpin on his head, there was almost no other color.
It is elegant, but it gives people a funeral feeling. I have to say that if you want to look pretty, you should wear mourning clothes and white clothes, which really looks good.
His float was in a mess, as it was littered with women's purses and sachets.
When Master Linlang appeared, at most everyone cheered for a while, but when it was Master Yiyun's turn, the women went crazy and rushed over like a tide, crowding at both ends of the street.
And not only women, but also many men, rushed to watch and chase.
Jiang Jiu also saw it, his eyes widened: "So handsome, he, he is really handsome."
At this moment Jiang Jiu instantly became a little fan girl.
"Tsk!" Lu Yunyang turned his head and wordlessly hooked Jiang Jiu's chin with his fingers to close her mouth. "You're drooling. Are you really that handsome?"
This time Jiang Jiu had to admit that Master Yiyun was indeed much more handsome than Lu Yunyang.
"He is prettier than you. He is more handsome than you. Look at his face shape, high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and his eyelashes. Why are they so long..."
As he spoke, Jiang Jiu also untied his sachet and was about to throw it towards Master Yiyun's float when he was angrily intercepted by Lu Yunyang.
"You've been with me for so long, and you've never thought of giving me a sachet. It's your first time meeting him, and yet...how can you be as superficial as these ordinary women?"
Jiang Jiu pouted and glanced at Lu Yunyang: "I don't like you, why should I give you a sachet? Besides, we have known each other for such a long time, and you haven't given me anything."
At this time, the flower car downstairs passed by Jiang Jiu's restaurant. Master Yiyun inadvertently glanced at the second floor, nodded slightly, and the flower car stopped.
It turned out that Master Yiyun and Master Linlang invited me to go on a boat trip together.
There was a large flower boat parked on the river. After Master Linlang met Master Yiyun, the two of them walked one after the other.
On the flower boat.
At this time, the boatman of the flower boat shouted loudly: "Two gentlemen invite you to play chess. Is there anyone who wants to play? Today, we only invite one person."
Although the price is not mentioned, it is definitely not low.
Jiang Jiu asked Zhao Li quietly, "How much does it cost to play chess?"
Zhao Li stretched out a finger.
"One hundred taels?" Jiang Jiu exhaled, "Not a small amount, about the same as Chu Yu and Ni Chang's prices."
Unexpectedly, Lu Ming added: "One thousand taels per hour. If you win, you will only receive one hundred taels. However, no one has won so far."
"Oh, a lot of money. Their bosses must have made a fortune thanks to them." Jiang Jiu guessed.
Lu Ming glanced at Lu Yunyang quickly and said nothing.
Lu Yunyang asked curiously, "Do you know what they do?"
Jiang Jiu laughed, but he was also a little angry: "They serve people. To put it nicely, they are called 'duanxiu', and to put it bluntly, they are called 'nangong'. They are so good-looking that it is hard to tell whether they are androgynous. It is more likely that they are popular with both men and women."
In ancient times, there were no men serving women. In modern times, they would be ducks.
Jiang Jiu was too embarrassed to continue explaining, as Lu Yunyang's sour tone seemed to be full of jealousy.
"You know a lot."
Jiang Jiu saw that Princess Qi Yang could not resist her beauty, so he took her maid and boarded the flower boat.
Jiang Jiu excitedly grabbed Lu Yunyang's wrist and said, "Look, the fish is on the hook."
Lu Yunyang smiled proudly: "Of course, Yiyun has come out, it's hard not to be hooked."
Jiang Jiu was slightly startled, then he understood immediately. He stared at Lu Yunyang with burning eyes: "Is Master Yiyun your man?"
That brothel was not opened by Lu Yunyang, but Master Yiyun was indeed Lu Yunyang's subordinate. He was gathering intelligence there, just like Nishang.
The flower boat sailed away, the people on the street dispersed, and Lu Yunyang returned to the couch.
"You're smarter than I thought."
Jiang Jiu pouted: "You are the one who brought me out to see the excitement. There are Master Linlang and Master Yiyun. The handsome man must be out for Princess Qiyang. The beauty trap does not distinguish between men and women. It's fine as long as it works."
Lu Yunyang held a glass of wine and smiled with satisfaction. He was proud of the success of his plan and also proud of Jiang Jiu's intelligence.
"She actually dared to hurt you, so she must pay the price to avenge you. What are you going to give me to thank me?"
Jiang Jiu, however, was not very appreciative: "If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have targeted me."
Thinking about it carefully again, if Lu Yunyang wasn't there, Princess Qi Yang might have directly arrested her and interrogated her.
Then he changed the topic: "Thank you, of course I have to thank you, what do you want?"
Lu Yunyang pointed at her sachet: "This one?"
But Jiang Jiu was very stingy: "No, this was embroidered for me by Haitang. She gave it to me, how can I give it to someone else?"
Lu Yunyang was upset. Who was it that wanted to throw the sachet to Yiyun just now?
"Then can you sew one for me yourself?"
Before Jiang Jiu responded, Xia Zhi at the side couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jiang Jiu's face became visibly embarrassed.
"I, I can't."
Lu Yunyang was not quite convinced: "You don't know how to do needlework?"
Zhao Li, who had been monitoring Jiang Jiu, was now looking up at the sky, down at the ground, and out the window.
"I really can't. Since I was a child, all the needlework in my family was done by Aunt Qian and Xia Zhi. I don't have to worry about clothes, so I only need two or three sets to change. As for the wedding dress, I bought it."
Jiang Jiu confessed honestly that it was not shameful not to know how to do needlework.
Lu Yunyang chuckled and said, "You are honest. If you don't know how to make it, you can learn. I must have you embroider the sachet yourself. I am willing to wait for you no matter how long it takes."
Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes speechlessly and was about to refuse when he saw Lu Yunyang take out a gold hairpin from his sleeve pocket.
"I'll give you this in exchange."
The gold hairpin is a butterfly style, wrapped with gold wire and decorated with a red agate. It is very beautiful and Jiang Jiu liked it at first sight.
"For me?"
Lu Yunyang's sparkling peach blossom eyes were filled with an indulgent smile.
"I wanted to give it to you on your birthday..."
I didn't expect the assassination incident to have been delayed until today.
After receiving the golden hairpin, Jiang Jiu had to agree to make a sachet for Lu Yunyang.
Things went smoothly. Princess Qi Yang did not come back at night, and Prince Qi's Mansion even went to the flower boat to look for her.
The princess's maid told them that the princess was drunk and asked them not to disturb her.
It was not until three days later that Princess Qi Yang got off the flower boat. She was almost carried off the boat by someone.
