Chapter 6: Empty Hands
Ten days passed quickly, and when the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the sky, Han Xu opened his hazy sleepy eyes.
"I slept like this again after a boring day." Han Xu washed his face with warm water, thinking that sleeping was the fastest way to pass the time.
"Master, where are you going today?"
Opening the door, Lin Feng was already in the yard, the carriage was ready, and the gold-plated carriage was wiped spotless.
Han Xu walked straight to the door opposite the mansion. There was a simple bun shop, and the bun seller was an amiable old man.
After spending many years together, the old man became familiar with this rich kid who had no pretensions.
Han Xu left two taels of silver and returned to the carriage with a basket of hot steamed dumplings.
"I went to Fengxuan Pavilion yesterday. That little girl from Qing'er seemed a little unhappy. Let's go to Wanhua Pavilion today." Han Xu put on a white feather cloak and got into the warm carriage with the steamed buns in his hands.
"Got the order!" Lin Feng stepped onto the carriage, whipped his whip, and drove two tall horses slowly toward the east of the city.
Compared with Fengxuan Pavilion, Wanhua Pavilion is more elegant.
There are small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, and the sound of the piano is wonderful, unlike the fireworks in the world.
Most of the women here are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and most of the literati in the royal city like to hang out here.
In particular, many young masters from official families like to come here to have fun, as if they are wearing an elegant coat for their affairs.
"Mr. Han!" As soon as Han Xu got out of the car, the girls greeting him at the door gathered around him, each giving what he thought was the most charming smile.
"Is Qing'er here?" Han Xu asked with a smile, which made the girls look dim and somewhat disappointed.
"Sister Qing'er is naturally here, but..."
"Just what?"
"Master Wang Ran is here today, and he asked Sister Qing'er to accompany him by name. He is drunk and crazy inside. Even Aunt Xue can't do anything to him."
"Young Master Han is going to find Sister Qing'er right now. I'm afraid it will irritate Young Master Wang." A girl said kindly.
"It's okay. Am I still afraid of him?" After Han Xu finished speaking, he strode in.
Han Xu had two purposes in going to Wanhua Pavilion tonight, one of which was Wang Ran.
As soon as Han Xu stepped into the hall, he heard Wang Ran's scolding coming from the box on the second floor.
"Aunt Xue, why don't Qing'er come over? She's just a bitch, why should she pretend to be noble in front of this young master? If she can accompany that good-for-nothing Han Xu, why can't she accompany me? Or do you think I'm not as good as that good-for-nothing? "
Aunt Xue said: "Mr. Wang, you are drunk. Let's do this. I will let Yinyin and Xiaoling wait for you to rest. These two girls are also stunning and have not yet left the court. How can I guarantee your satisfaction?"
"I'm telling you, it's useless for anyone but Qing'er to serve you today. In three moments, if Qing'er doesn't kneel in front of me, believe it or not, I will tear down your Wanhua Pavilion?"
"Young Master Wang, although my Wanhua Pavilion is a land of romance, it cannot be demolished just by others' advice."
When Wang Ran heard Aunt Xue's slightly cold voice, his heart trembled. He thought of his father's instructions, but he immediately forgot about them. He just came to use alcohol to cause trouble today, and no one could stop him.
Speaking more broadly, how big a backstage can a brothel have.
"Since you don't understand current affairs, that's fine."
Before Wang Ran finished speaking, the door was kicked open.
"Who is making noise here and disturbing my master's enjoyment?" Han Xu walked in as if there was no one else around. Seeing Wang Ran in the room, he was surprised and said, "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Wang. Could it be that the water in the lake that day It’s too cold, so you come here to drink to keep away the cold?”
"Is it you?" Wang Ran's expression suddenly became complicated when he saw Han Xu.
Ten days ago, Han Xu forced him to fall into the lake with a few words. This incident almost became a joke in the public and made him lose face. He originally wanted to take revenge, but then he learned that his sister Han Luoling was about to be named a concubine. Unexpectedly, How can I take revenge if Rinpi wants to enter the palace?
It can be said that the person he least wants to see at this stage is Han Xu.
He came here today just to put pressure on Wanhua Pavilion and get Qing'er to vent his anger, but Han Xu also came.
He even kicked the door open and stood in front of him as if he was watching a joke.
"What? Shouldn't I come?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Of course we are looking for Qing'er." Han Xu said matter-of-factly, "Aunt Xue, please inform Qing'er and ask her to wait for me in the room. I will stay here tonight."
"Mr. Han, where is this place?"
"It's okay, just go ahead. Mr. Wang is also a romantic person, and he will definitely not do anything outrageous."
Aunt Xue bowed and saluted, then walked away with small steps.
Wang Ran's whole face turned green. He had been making trouble here for a long time, using both soft and hard methods, but he didn't even see Qing'er's face.
As soon as Han Xu arrived, he said he wanted to stay in Qing'er's room.
Han Xu's romantic reputation can be said to be resounding throughout the royal city. If he wants to stay in Qing'er's room, he will naturally not just play the piano and talk about poetry. There is no need to guess what he is going to do.
When Han Xu spoke, he did not lower his voice, and the guests in the entire hall could hear him clearly.
"It seems that Qing'er, the purest of the four oirans, cannot escape Han Xu's clutches."
"Haha, Han Xu really lives up to his reputation as a romantic and talented man. He is a veritable killer of courtesans."
"Poor Mr. Wang Ran, he made a mistake in making the payment. In the future, even if Miss Qing'er is willing to accept customers, he will have to use second-hand goods."
Listening to these discussions, Wang Ran clenched his teeth tightly. Looking at his appearance, Han Xu wanted to laugh.
So, he walked to Wang Ran with pity and said, "How are you, Prince Wang? If the wine is not enough, I will order a few more for you?"
"You..."
"What do you mean by you? If you have the guts, hit me!" Han Xu said arrogantly, and then he deliberately moved his face closer.
"Do you think I dare not hit you?" Wang Ran was about to do it.
"Of course you dare not. Don't forget that I am not only the son of King Han now, but will soon become your Majesty's brother-in-law. My sister loves me the most. If she hears that I have something bad happened in the royal city after entering the palace, do you think you can still keep your nine clans?"
Han Xu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Wang Ran's head, and he really calmed down.
As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Han Xu is a waste. Now he can jump around with his status, but things are unpredictable. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Seeing Wang Ran loosen his fist, Han Xu smiled, put one hand on Wang Ran's shoulder, slowly pressed him on the chair, and said: "The wine here is good, you enjoy it slowly, I still have to accompany Qing'er, can't let the beauty wait for a long time."
Wang Ran's body trembled faintly, obviously trying his best to restrain the anger in his heart.
At this moment, no one saw Han Xu's other hand gently wiped behind Wang Ran and put a black sign into his sleeve.
"When I was bored, I downloaded this ninth-level skill from some thief. I thought it was useless, but it came in handy at this moment. It seems that learning more things is always good for you."
Han Xu sighed in his heart, and then ignored the sad Wang Ran, and walked out with his head held high.
He was still very busy tonight, and he had to go see Qing'er.
And, Han Luoling, who arrived at Fengling Post Station thirty miles away from Wangcheng.
