Chapter 564

On the other hand, Zhao Ping, the owner of Huaxianglou, was in a dilemma.

Just now, He Ting, the county magistrate of Qinhuai City, who was also his brother-in-law, sent someone to tell him to cancel the Xiahe Poetry Meeting in seven days.

The so-called Xiahe Poetry Meeting was actually a banquet that Huaxianglou was going to make money from Zhihua.

After all, Huaxianglou had created such a great situation for Zhihua and spent a lot of money, and it was time to reap the rewards.

Zhao Ping was still waiting for the day of the Xiahe Poetry Meeting, ready to make a fortune. For this reason, he not only invited the local wealthy businessmen and sons of Qinhuai City, but also the sons of noble families in the surrounding counties.

If this was cancelled, the reputation of Huaxianglou would plummet, and the "reputation" that had been accumulated with great difficulty would also be gone.

In the future, it would not be so easy for the girls of Huaxianglou to "raise the price".

But if it was not cancelled, it would probably offend the Duke of Anguo.

After all, the Duke of Anguo said to Zhihua in public today: "The girl is really pretty."

Maybe he has taken a fancy to Zhihua.

After all, the reputation of the Duke of Anguo for being lustful is no secret.

It is too tactless for Huaxianglou to "sell" Zhihua's virginity just because the other party takes a fancy to her.

Of course, if the Duke of Anguo really takes a fancy to Zhihua, Huaxianglou will naturally offer Zhihua obediently. This is a good opportunity to make friends with the Duke of Anguo. If the reputation and reputation of Huaxianglou are gone, it will be gone.

But the key is that it is uncertain.

Whether the Duke of Anguo takes a fancy to Zhihua is all speculation by others.

If he doesn't take a fancy to her, he cancels the poetry meeting, which will not please both sides.

Of course, the solution to this problem is also very simple.

That is to ask someone to ask Chen Mo himself directly.

But this is also stupid.

It's just like giving gifts. Who would directly ask the person you want to give it to what kind of gift you like?

Or be frank and give money in person.

This has to be done in secret.

That is, to get the job done, it can't be too direct.

"It's difficult, it's difficult." Zhao Ping felt a headache.

The servant next to him saw that his master was in trouble, and immediately suggested: "Master, why don't you invite Duke Anguo to participate in the Xiahe Poetry Festival? If Duke Anguo comes on that day, it means that he is interested in Miss Zhihua. Then we can just take advantage of it and send Miss Zhihua to Duke Anguo's room. It won't be..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ping kicked the servant and called him a fool.

The servant didn't understand.

Zhao Ping immediately spoke.

Going to a brothel is not a shameful thing.

Many aristocratic families even forbid their children from entering brothels, thinking that this is a matter of damaging the family's style.

For example, Duke Anguo is lustful, but you can't say he is lustful to his face.

And with his status and position, if it is spread that he went to a brothel, it will also damage his reputation.

Now you personally invite him to the brothel, what's the difference between this and spitting on his face.

However, the servant's words also gave Zhao Ping an idea.

Since we can't invite in the name of Huaxianglou, we can invite him privately.

The venue can also be set at Huaxianglou.

If the invitation is used as an excuse, Zhihua can thank Anguogong for saving her life that day.

In this way, not only can the matter be concealed, but we can also find out whether Anguogong really likes Zhihua.

As long as Anguogong declines Zhihua's private invitation, the Xiahe Poetry Meeting can be held as usual.

"Go, ask Zhihua to come over." Zhao Ping admired his own brain.

"Yes."

Just as the servant was about to leave, Zhao Ping hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait, I'll go in person."

If Zhihua is really liked, then the other party is the one that even he has to curry favor with.

In Room No. 3 of Huazi.

Zhihua had just finished bathing, and the maid was combing her hair.

As the most popular courtesan of Huaxianglou this year, Zhihua is naturally served by someone.

The maid smiled like an aunt and said, "Duke Anguo must have taken a fancy to you, sister Zhihua, otherwise he wouldn't have said those words in public and asked where you are from, sister."

Zhihua was very nice to the maid and asked her to call her sister.

"Don't talk nonsense, Duke Anguo is such a person, how could he take a fancy to a brothel girl like us." Zhihua said.

"Sister Zhihua, I'm not talking nonsense, it's rumored outside that Duke Anguo has taken a fancy to you, sister Zhihua." The maid said with envy, "If sister Zhihua is really favored by Duke Anguo, it would be so happy."

"Happy?"

Zhihua muttered to herself, and just as she was about to tell the maid not to say anything no matter what was said outside, a charming voice sounded outside the house.

That was the madam of Huaxianglou.

"Mom, is there anything?" Zhihua asked.

"Daughter, the boss wants to see you." The madam said.

"Mom, wait a minute. I'll be here soon." Zhihua said.

Soon, Zhihua met Zhao Ping, the owner of Huaxianglou, in a private room.

"Zhihua is here. Please sit down." Zhao Ping stood up and invited Zhihua to sit down. He was very respectful, but there was also a flash of surprise in his eyes.

In the years since Huaxianglou was established, Zhao Ping could say that Zhihua was the most beautiful among all the courtesans.

Zhao Ping was reluctant to hand her over to someone else.

You know, the courtesans of Huaxianglou over the years, except for those who were redeemed, ended up warming his bed.

He would not touch the virginity of these courtesans because they wanted to make money for him.

But after they lost their virginity, it would be his turn to taste them.

"What does the boss want to see Zhihua for?" Zhihua asked after she sat down.

"Then I won't hide it from you." Zhao Ping drank a sip of tea and said, "Zhihua, there is an opportunity for a person to become a phoenix. Do you want to seize it?"

"Are you talking about the Duke of Anguo?"

"That's right. It's said outside that the Duke of Anguo may have taken a fancy to you. I also think there is such a possibility. So I thought, it just so happens that the people of the Duke of Anguo stopped you from being frightened today. You can take advantage of this opportunity to invite him out alone to thank him. If he is invited, what to do, I don't need to tell you, you should know." Zhao Ping said.

"Boss, you are too kind. How can a big man like the Duke of Anguo take a fancy to a slave like me?" Zhihua said.

"Don't underestimate yourself. At least I think you can do it. And it's okay if you don't succeed. You can try it. If you succeed, you can say a few good words for me in front of the Duke of Anguo." Zhao Ping said with a smile.

"Then Zhihua will give it a try."

The moon was high in the sky, and Chen Mo took Yue Ruyan to attend the Xiao family's family dinner.

Yue Ruyan seemed very reserved. After all, she and Xiao Yunxi were both Chen Mo's women, but now this was Xiao Yunxi's home, and all around were Xiao Yunxi's elders and juniors.

However, although she was reserved, as a martial artist in the supernatural realm, she was not afraid. She responded when she had something to say, and kept silent when she had nothing to say.
