Chapter 143 He is my elder brother
Xiao Yun said, "Leave the palace to me, you go stand outside the palace."
Xie Jing did not hesitate, and bowed before leaving the palace.
After Xie Jing left, Xiao Yun ordered, "Eunuch Li, send someone to search again, no matter where you go." Eunuch
Li took the order and led a group of guards to search, no matter whether the person could be hidden or not, no one was spared.
The concubines looked at the guards searching everywhere, all with puzzled faces.
"What are you looking for? Did the emperor lose something important?"
"I heard that the wife of the cavalry general went missing in the palace, and the emperor is looking for her."
"The emperor is really concerned about the cavalry general, and he made such a big fuss."
"You don't know this, right? He has already looked for her once before, and this is the second time. He even searched our palace."
"What does this have to do with you? Why do you even search our palace?"
"This is called killing a hundred people by mistake and not letting any one go. No matter whether the person can be hidden or not, they have to be searched."
The concubines were discussing, and Concubine Nian came out. She heard their conversation just now.
The general's wife went missing, and he made such a big fuss. What does the emperor want to do?
After Xie Jing left the palace, he sent Xue Yi, Leng Xiao and others to look for her separately, both inside and outside the city.
Xie Jing looked at the bustling streets. He promised her that she would not experience this again, but he still let her experience it.
I wonder where she is now and whether she has been bullied?
Xie Jing looked calm on the surface, but he was actually very anxious, fearing that he would be a step late and let Aning suffer.
Jiang Youning sat on the bed, looking at the closed room. If her cousin hadn't said that crying at this time was useless and would only waste the body's moisture, she would really cry for a while.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Jiang Youning raised her head and looked over, and saw the old procuress twisting her waist and walking in with a smile on her face.
"Originally I wanted you to receive guests tomorrow night, but some of those gentlemen can't wait, so you can receive guests tonight. As long as you behave and serve the guests well, I won't treat you badly."
Jiang Youning felt a chill down her spine after hearing this. Receive guests tonight, isn't that fast?
After the madam finished speaking, she called in two maids, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and looked young and pretty.
"Their names are Chunhua and Chunxing, and they will start to take care of you from today."
After the madam finished speaking, she ordered, "Help Miss Yunyao to wash and dress."
Chunhua and Chunxing responded in unison, "Yes, mother."
After the madam left, Chunhua and Chunxing walked to Yunyao from the left and right, "Miss Yunyao, it's time to wash and dress."
Jiang Youning glanced at Chunhua and Chunxing, thought about it, and stood up obediently to wash and dress.
It is obviously unwise to resist now.
Although Chunhua and Chunxing are not very old, their hair is very beautiful.
Maybe the madam wants them to go the pure route, so the makeup is not exaggerated or vulgar, but the acne is like a delicate flower.
It was dark when she was dressing up, and candles were lit in the house.
Jiang Youning looked at herself in the bronze mirror, but she was thinking that Xie Jing must be looking for her. He thought she was still in the palace and would never have thought that she had been smuggled out of the palace.
At this time, the madam pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Yunyao dressed up, she was very satisfied.
"Miss Yun Yao, it's very lively outside. All the guests who come here are young men with good marriages, and some are handsome. It all depends on your luck tonight. If you are lucky, your first guest will be a handsome wage earner. If you are unlucky, he will be an old man in his fifties. I only care about money."
Jiang Youning: "..." If you like money so much, why don't you sell it?
She loves money, but she gets it in a proper way.
The madam took out a face towel and put it on Yun Yao's cheek. After tying it, she said happily, "Okay, come out with me."
Jiang Youning saw that she could only go out with the madam. She also wanted to go out to see what the situation was here. Otherwise, how could she escape?
She followed the madam obediently and walked out of the room.
When she came out of the house, she found that this was the second floor. Just as the madam said, it was very lively outside.
When she walked to the railing, she saw a platform downstairs, and a group of people gathered below the platform.
There were tables in the prime position in the front, and the guests sitting on the seats were young and old, beautiful and ugly.
Most of the guests in the back were standing.
The people in the front were probably rich and prestigious.
Jiang Youning followed the madam and walked slowly to the platform. She looked at the madam walking in front, twisting her waist and swinging her handkerchief. Then she looked at her dress that was mopping the ground and raised the corners of her lips.
She stepped on the hem of her skirt and screamed, "Ah!" She threw herself towards the madam and fell down the stairs with her.
The guests below had been looking at Miss Yun Yao behind the madam, because the madam praised Miss Yun Yao so much that she was so beautiful, saying that there was no such a pretty girl in the entire Lanyufang.
As a result, they saw this scene, and everyone stood up from their chairs in surprise, looking curiously at Miss Yun Yao who was rolling down the stairs.
"Tsk, why did she fall? Is Miss Yun Yao a sickly person?"
"No matter how beautiful a beauty is, will she be disfigured after such a fall?"
"If she is disfigured, it would be a pity."
There were still three steps left. She would definitely not die from the fall, but it would definitely hurt.
Fortunately, the madam made a flesh pad, so Jiang Youning would be pressed on the madam when she rolled down. It was a little painful, but bearable.
The madam fell to the ground with her face on the ground, her head was bruised and her nose was swollen. She lay on the ground screaming in pain.
Hua Man Lou had held many auctions before, but this was the first time someone had fallen down, and no one had expected it.
When everyone reacted, the servants and maids came forward to help the madam and Miss Yun Yao.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"Is Miss Yun Yao okay?"
Jiang Youning stood up with the help of the maids and looked at the madam, "Mom, are you okay? It's all my fault. I made you fall."
The madam was furious, but when she saw Yun Yao's bright almond eyes, her anger was suppressed.
She was counting on Yun Yao to make money tonight.
She gritted her teeth and forced a smile, saying, "It's okay, let's go on."
Jiang Youning said worriedly, "Mom, does it hurt? Do you want to take a break before continuing?"
The madam endured the pain and said, "It doesn't hurt, we can't waste time."
Jiang Youning: "..." You are so dedicated~
The madam walked to the front of the stage with the help of the maid, looked at the new and old guests under the stage, and introduced happily: "This is the new girl of Hua Man Lou, she is very beautiful, she is soft and gullible, and she is also sweet-mouthed. The starting price is five hundred taels. The highest bidder will have Miss Yun Yao tonight."
"Mom, Yun Yao is wearing a face scarf and we can't see her face. How do we know if this money is worth it?"
"That's right, let me see her face first, and then we can make an offer, right?"
"Let's take a look at her beauty first, and see if it's the same as what mom said, that all men will like her when they see her?"
The madam smiled proudly, "Don't worry, guests, I promise. This money is worth spending, and if it's not worth it, I'll return the money."
This was the first time that the madam made such a boast, which made the guests present a little excited.
The madam added, "When the price reaches a certain level, I will show the guests Miss Yun Yao's beauty."
After the madam finished speaking, the guests in the audience began to bid.
"I'll offer one thousand taels."
"I'll offer one thousand five hundred taels."
"I'm afraid to offer two thousand taels."
The guests were so excited, which was all expected by the madam.
She believed that someone would definitely offer a sky-high price tonight.
Jiang Youning looked at the excited man in the audience, who started with one thousand taels and went up to eight thousand taels, and was completely dumbfounded.
What my elder brother said is true. It is normal for men to spend a fortune on women when they are lustful.
Jiang Youning scanned the guests in the audience and her eyes fell on a man in a brocade green robe. He was holding a folding fan and had a handsome face. The other men were bidding, but he was just a spectator, indifferent.
It was him.
She glanced at the madam, who was grinning happily. She walked down the stage with her skirt lifted.
There was a step on the right side, and she hurried down with her skirt lifted.
When the madam found out, Jiang Youning had already walked in front of the guest.
Jiang Youning ran straight to the man, and when she got in front of him, she grabbed the man's sleeve tightly and shouted, "Brother, I finally found you."
The call of "brother" stunned everyone present, and the old procuress was also stunned and stood there.
The guests looked over here with curiosity in their eyes.
The man in green was also confused by the call of "big brother".
Jiang Youning seemed to be possessed by a drama spirit, and choked up and said, "Brother, I am Ning'er, sob... I have been looking for you so hard."
The man looked at the woman in front of him in confusion, "What did you call me?"
Jiang Youning looked at the man with tears in her eyes, "Brother, you are my big brother, have you forgotten your sister?"
The old procuress reacted and winked at the servant beside her.
The servant understood, walked towards Miss Yun Yao, grabbed her arm and dragged her.
Jiang Youning held on to the man's sleeve tightly, crying, "Brother, don't you recognize your sister? I am Ning'er."
The madam also came over and said with a smile, "This young man, it's a misunderstanding, she recognized the wrong person."
After that, she winked at the servants, indicating that they should take Yun Yao away by force.
No matter how the servants pulled Yun Yao, Jiang Youning held on tightly.
The man lowered his eyes to look at the sleeve that was deformed by her pulling, and then looked at the crying woman.
During the dragging, the veil on Jiang Youning's face was rubbed off, revealing her delicate little face, her almond eyes sparkling, with tears hanging, which made people feel a little pity.
Seeing the woman's face, the man was stunned.
Seeing the man staring at her, Jiang Youning cried even harder, "Brother, I've been looking for you for a long time, and you don't recognize me after such a short time?"
The man stared at Jiang Youning's face for a long time, and suddenly asked, "You keep calling me brother, do you know my name?"
Jiang Youning paused crying, who knew his name, and saw the man waiting for her answer.
The madam pulled Yun Yao's arm, and there was impatience on her face with powder on it.
"Miss Yun Yao, you belong to my Hua Man Lou, where did your brother come from?"
Jiang Youning grabbed the man's sleeve and said, "He is my elder brother."
She said to the man again, "Dad always calls you an unfilial son."
When the man heard the word unfilial son, he was stunned.
