Jiang Ning snapped open his fan, smiling, “The one she hit was called Ximen Qing. He’s such a dashing man…”
“And what about Jin Lian?” someone asked.
“Ah, Jin Lian is a real beauty,” Jiang Ning grinned, “her elegant makeup and neatly coiled hair, gold hairpin slanted and thrust into her raven locks. She called her maidservant, opening the trunk, getting a set of simple clothes, and dressing up like Xi Shi.”
Li Hongyuan frowned.
What a mess.
Obscene words and songs, unbearable to the ear!
But the tea guests listened with wide-eyed fascination.
They asked eagerly, “And then? What happened after she hit him?”
Jiang Ning smiled slightly, “After that, they became lovers, and together they killed the first brother.”
“How did they get together?” The tea guests were impatient, “Please tell us clearly! How did it happen, and why did they kill the first brother? How did they kill him?”
“Well, that can’t be told in detail.”
“Why not?”
“Because it needs to be harmonious. Here, skipping ten thousand characters, you can use your imagination.” Jiang Ning put down the fan, picking up a cup to take a sip of water.
The tea guests were speechless.
“If we used our imagination, why would we pay to listen to the story?”
“I was telling about the heroes of Liangshan, but you insisted on the story of the first brother and Jin Lian!” Jiang Ning argued, “Vulgar!”
Tea guests were embarrassed: “We were waiting for you to talk about Wu Second Son, can you tell us now? Will the first brother die in vain?”
“Of course not.” Jiang Ning laughed, “When Wu Second Son comes back, he sees the first brother killed, so he slaughters Jin Lian and Ximen Qing, gets involved in a lawsuit, then runs away to Liangshan and becomes one of the heroes! He’s known as the Tianshan Star, skilled fighter Wu Song!”
Jiang Ning clapped the block, “To learn the outcome, tune in for the next episode.”
“What? That’s it?”
The tea guests had been enjoying the story, their blood boiling, and they hadn’t had enough. They called out, “One more segment, one more segment!”
Jiang Ning said, “I don’t want to tell it, come back early next time!”
“We’ll pay, one silver coin per person! There are over a hundred people here, so that’s more than a hundred coins for you to tell just this one story. You won’t be at a loss!”
“Even if it were a thousand silver coins, I wouldn’t say it,” Jiang Ning said, “I tell these stories purely for enjoyment and not for making money.”
“What about ten thousand silver coins?” A serious voice spoke up.
Jiang Ning looked towards the speaker.
It was Wenren Zong.
Everyone gasped.
So extravagant.
Ten thousand silver coins just to listen to a story?
There was no comparison, not at all.
Jiang Ning wheeled his chair over, and laughed, “If the Thirteenth Young Master is willing to give me ten thousand silver coins, I’d be happy to do a private performance just for you.”
Wenren Zong said, “Consider it done.”
Even Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan looked over in amazement.
Was he serious?
Even to these wealthy young ladies, ten thousand silver coins was no small sum.
Jiang Ning said, “Once the money arrives, Thirteenth Young Master can choose the time and place.”
Wenren Zong said, “Alright, I’ll send someone with the banknotes and invitations when I return home.”
Jiang Yan and Jiang Ning were both left dumbstruck by the exchange.
“I object,” said a voice.
Li Hongyuan stood up.
It was only then that everyone realized that there was someone else sitting in the corner, behind the screen.
Li Hongyuan’s handsome face was quite unique in Chang’an City, unforgettable after just one glance. Jiang Yan and Jiang Ning recognized him and dared not look directly at him, hastily saluting.
Wenren Zong also immediately bowed, “Your servant pays his respects to His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yu.”
Li Hongyuan ignored them and said directly to Jiang Ning, “You’re not allowed to perform stories here anymore..”
