Chapter 128 Xue, Feng, Wei and Sun take turns performing
Miss Mingxiang is not only extremely beautiful, but more importantly, she has an extraordinary temperament, just like a lady from a noble family who has been raised in seclusion.

"As expected." Chen Ran nodded secretly. "Without something special, it would be hard to make such a big name."

Ladies from noble families, unless they meet someone with the best character, are always dignified and polite. Even when they are doing sexual things between husband and wife, they grit their teeth and refuse to make a sound.

As for romance and interest, don't even mention it.

Maybe they are beautiful and talented and can be called goddesses, but there is an old saying that goes, "Behind every goddess, there is a man who is tired of eating puffs."

The girl Mingxiang in front of him had the beauty and temperament of a lady from a noble family, but she was also a woman who could talk about romance, so naturally, many men flocked to her.

"You are so ignorant." Chen Ran sneered at the group of playboys vying to show their courtesy. "If you were given the opportunity to travel a few hundred years later, there would be girls like you who like to play everywhere."

Faced with the pursuit of everyone, the beautiful girl Mingxiang handled it appropriately. She neither ignored anyone nor deliberately showed her intimacy with anyone.

"She's at a pretty high level." Chen Ran said, "If she could travel a few hundred years into the future, she would definitely be able to make a living."

"Ms. Mingxiang is truly an extraordinary woman." Liu Xianglian, who was standing by, exclaimed, "She is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she also understands national affairs and has something to say. What a pity."

"What are you regretting?" Chen Ran teased him, "Being proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting is what they have been trained in since childhood. It is a basic talent. Those who can't learn it well are entertaining guests. As for understanding national affairs, it is nothing more than what they heard when they were entertaining ministers in the court before."

Liu Xianglian was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he thought about it, it was indeed true.

How could a woman who stayed in brothels all day know about state affairs? It was impossible for the emperor to learn from Duke Hun De and ride his horse to chat with her after dark.

The only ones who could chat with him were the white-haired ministers who appeared righteous during the day but had lustful eyes at night.

Thinking of this, Liu Xianglian suddenly felt that the food was not fragrant anymore.

"One thousand taels!" Xue Pan shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

He was so excited that the pimples on his face seemed to glow. He stared at Miss Mingxiang with red eyes and shouted, "I'll pay one thousand taels to accompany you, Master Xue, tonight!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence all around.

Miss Mingxiang, who had been smiling like a flower and acting as if everyone was her friend, suddenly became gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Xue Pan's character has always been like this, arrogant and domineering. When he came to the capital, he was still as domineering as Jinling. "The most famous boat girl in Jinling City doesn't cost more than a thousand taels!"

"How dare this country bumpkin act like a big shot in the capital?"

All the young masters looked at Xue Pan with unfriendly eyes, "Get out!"

Xue Pan was furious and was about to shout and fight, but Jia Lian hurried forward and pulled him back, "You are new to the capital and don't know the rules here. Sit down first and talk."

If you throw a brick on the street at the feet of the emperor, the person you will hit will either be a royal relative or a civil or military noble.

If you come from outside, no matter you are a dragon or a tiger, you must first bend down and behave like a human being.

But Xue Pan was a young man who didn't understand any of this. He struggled to shake Jia Lian off and start fighting.

Suddenly, his eyes looked at Chen Ran not far away.

Feeling Chen Ran's half-smile, he instantly calmed down, sat obediently on the chair, picked up the wine glass and drank with his head down.

The young masters felt that this country bumpkin had given in and looked down on him even more.

Miss Mingxiang was angry because Xue Pan didn't know the rules. She thought that they could talk about this matter when he came for tea. How could she tell it to everyone in public?
If she agreed, her reputation would be ruined immediately and she would no longer be worth anything.

But he is a rich man after all, and one thousand taels for one night is as good as gold and cannot be let go.

In order to prevent the young masters from taking advantage of the situation to continue to make trouble, she drove away the rich man and took the initiative to change the subject. She walked to Chen Ran and bowed with a sweet smile, "I have heard of your name for a long time. I am not very happy to see you today. Let me offer you a drink~~~"

'Looking for me to cover?'

Chen Ran smiled and raised his wine glass. "I am also happy to see Miss Mingxiang."

Both of them were professionals, drinking a glass together with formal smiles.

At least it looks harmonious.

The most common thing at a bar where young people gather is jealousy.

Seeing that Miss Mingxiang looked at Chen Ran differently, someone immediately sneered, "There is a number one scholar every three years. There is one more when the special examination is held. What's so rare about it?"

Chen Ran looked over and saw the person who spoke was Feng Ziying, the son of General Shenwu.

"Mr. Feng is absolutely right." Chen Ran was also amused by such stupid words. "Tomorrow when I go on duty, I will tell all the top scorers what Mr. Feng said."

In an instant, Feng Ziying's face turned pale.

He drank a few cups of horse urine and got dizzy, and offended so many top scholars with just one sentence.

At this time, there were at least a dozen top scholars still serving as officials inside and outside the court!
One of them is even a cabinet minister.

If anyone is dissatisfied and tries to hinder their family, wouldn't Feng Ziying be a traitor?

Or is it for a sister?
Feng Ziying was already sweating coldly.

In his mind, he was already thinking about how his old father broke his legs after the incident.

"Brother Chen."

Except for Xue Pan and others who really didn't understand, the other young masters naturally understood after two years of being in the industry.

Those who had average or even grudge relations with Feng Ziying were all laughing secretly, waiting to see him make trouble.

Those who were on good terms with him, such as Wei Ruolan, had already come over with wine glasses and wine pots, smiling and saying, "Ziying drank too much horse urine, and he has lost control of his mouth. Don't bother with such a rude man."

Looking at the nobleman pouring wine for him, two lines of subtitles floated across Chen Ran's eyes.

"Wei Ruolan was born into a family of military merit, and was skilled in archery and horsemanship. In order to gain fame, he abandoned his newlywed wife Xiangyun and died in a competition for archery."

'Note: You can modify one of the words.'

Chen Ran looked at Wei Ruolan who was pouring wine for him. "I've been here for so long, but this is the first time I've heard of Shi Xiangyun. It seems that she will marry this boy in the end."

This man was handsome and dignified, the only one who was slightly inferior to Liu Xianglian in the room.

"What do you call me, brother?"

"Ruolan, the unworthy son of the Wei family." The two men raised their glasses and faced each other. Chen Ran's eyes fell on the thick calluses on the pads of his index finger and thumb. "It seems that Brother Wei is a good archer. He is a man of both civil and military skills."

Wei Ruolan, who had never thought that she could be seen through at a glance, had a slightly stiff expression and pointed away subconsciously.

He really didn't want anyone to know that he was practicing martial arts in private, especially the people from the Wei family!
As for the original ones, they were naturally the so-called grudges among wealthy families.

Fortunately, Chen Ran did not ask any more questions. They drank their drinks and sat down.

The matter of Feng Ziying's nonsense was exposed here.

The festival is over and the box is bustling again.

The group of noble sons clinked glasses and joked with the girls who served them drinks, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

The most eye-catching one is Chen Ran.

The reason was simple, simply because Miss Mingxiang simply sat down next to him, poured wine and served food for him, smiling sweetly and being very enthusiastic.

If it were Xue Pan, he would probably have been drooling from laughing at this moment.

But although Chen Ran had a smile on his face, he was secretly alert in his heart.

'If someone shows kindness to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.'

If you like handsome guys, Liu Xianglian and Wei Ruolan are both super handsome, and the other sons of princes and nobles are all above average. Even Jia Lian is a handsome fair-faced guy.

If you really want money, you should look for Jia Lian. I estimate that the dinner he is treating you to today will cost a huge sum of three to five hundred taels.

Not to mention their status and position, they are all descendants of royal families and nobles, and are much stronger than Chen Ran.

"Could it be that the girl knows that my strengths are my specialties?"

Whatever the case, something must be wrong.

Sure enough, after pretending to be enthusiastic, Miss Mingxiang confided her true feelings, "I have long heard of the fame of your mansion's Pingling perfume, and the sisters in Piaoxiang Pavilion also like it very much. I wonder if I can sell it on your behalf in various pavilions in the capital?"

So that's why, you are interested in the perfume business.

Produced by Ping'er and sold by Xiangling, the perfume brand is called Pinglingxiang.

It is indeed easy to make money from women, and her fame has spread to brothels and brothels.

"Miss, you've got the wrong person." After drinking a few glasses of wine with me, you want to be a middleman and make a profit. Next time you have such a good thing, remember to notify me. "My wife is in charge of this matter. If you have this intention, you can go and discuss it with my wife."

The ignorant little girl might have really gone to Qin Keqing to discuss business.

But Miss Mingxiang had been through a lot, so she could naturally tell that this was an excuse.

He immediately displayed his charm and was passionate.

He even hinted that he wanted to discuss literary knowledge with the number one scholar and talk about his shortcomings.

Chen Ran is similar to Prime Minister Cao in this respect and likes good families.

I have no interest in a profession like Miss Mingxiang, no matter how beautiful she is.

The princes and nobles who used to be the center of attention wherever they went, all looked unhappy when they saw this scene.

Feng Ziying, who had lost face before, spoke again, "I wonder what important matters the top scholar has been busy with recently? Are you planning to arrange for a few prefectures to contract taxes?"

When they heard the word "tax package", everyone had different expressions.

Many of their families were involved in this matter. They spent huge sums of money to obtain the right to farm taxes, but when they went to collect taxes, they caused a huge commotion, and even in some places, they sparked civil unrest.

If you want to make money, then you can definitely make money.

However, the energy consumed and the large number of forces offended are hard to describe in words.

The ups and downs during this period are unknown to outsiders.

At this moment, facing Chen Ran who raised this matter, I didn’t know whether to thank him or hate him.

Before Chen Ran could say anything, the door of the box was pushed open.

He is tall and strong, with a face full of flesh, droopy eyes, a big nose and a fierce look in his eyes. One can tell at a glance that he is not a good person.

"Everyone, I'm sorry." The visitor forced a smile and bowed repeatedly. "Sun is late, please don't blame me."

"The eldest son of the Sun family is here." Jia Lian greeted him warmly, "Hurry up and take a seat."

Then he introduced to everyone "Jia family student, the son of Sun Youji of Datong Prefecture, Sun Shaozu."

Naturally, no one looked down upon someone of this status, and everyone looked at him with contempt.

Not to mention that Sun Shaozu doesn't even have an official position now. Even if he was the so-called guerrilla general of Datong Prefecture when his father was still alive, what would he count for in front of all those princes and sons of the royal family?

All of their fathers and grandfathers were officers in one of the twelve battalions of the Beijing Army, and at the very least they were generals.

Of course, the one who should have been in the spotlight should have been the Jia family, which had controlled the Beijing military governorship for many years, but unfortunately the men in the family were not up to the mark.

Jia Lian warmly entertained Sun Shaozu and brought him to Chen Ran to introduce him, "Zihou, this Sun Shaozu is a disciple of the Jia family. Please take good care of him in the future."

Every time he mentioned "Jia family disciples", Sun Shaozu's face twitched unconsciously.

Chen Ran understood that this was a way of suppressing the anger in his heart.

"No wonder Jia Yingchun was tortured to death. How much humiliation did she suffer in the Jia family?"

Looking at Sun Shaozu, who was as strong as a beast, Chen Ran took the initiative to smile and said, "So you are the descendant of a general. It just so happens that I am preparing to suppress bandits recently. If General Sun is free, how about coming to help me?"

Sun Shaozu grinned.

He felt that Chen Ran was a good person. He was a general who always spoke highly of the general. It was rare to give him such face in the capital. "Don't worry, sir."

He pounded his chest muscles hard, with an arrogant look on his face, "What are these mere bandits? My lord, just watch me kill them all!"

At the same time, two lines of subtitles floated before Chen Ran's eyes.
