"He...is a little different from those men..."

Miss Su was not angry because Zhao Hongrun touched her hair without her permission, because she felt that the look in his eyes was not lustful. Although he was eager, he was not like those men who wanted to strip her naked.

Confucius said, food and color are also the nature of food.

The real meaning of this sentence is that it is human nature to want to see beautiful things. In the most popular terms, it is to evaluate a thing by its appearance.

When it comes to targeting people, that is judging them by their appearance.

However, sex is not pornography. The root of sex is that it can be viewed from a distance but not played with. Beyond this line, it is no longer sex, but pornography. It means greed, wanting to fully possess something, and playing with it wantonly.

.

Although Zhao Hongrun's eyes were looking at her from beginning to end, he only regarded her as a beautiful thing and held a purely appreciative attitude. This is why Miss Su did not get angry.

On the contrary, she was a little curious, wondering why Mr. Jiang seemed to have not seen a woman for more than ten years.

"Pour wine."

"..."

"Pour wine."

"..."

"Pour wine."

"..."

For half a stick of incense, there was no communication between the two.

Zhao Hongrun only focused on admiring the white jade beauty in front of him one-sidedly, and asked the beauty to pour the wine for him.

I have to say that the wine that Miss Jing Su personally filled seemed to have a unique taste.

But his behavior made Miss Su dumbfounded.

"Hey, are you done yet?"

The little maid Lu'er couldn't help but single it out and accused her: "My young lady has poured more than a dozen cups just for it. You bad guy, who do you think our young lady is?"

"..." Miss Su didn't speak, she just looked at Zhao Hongrun.

It's not that she's angry, she just wonders why Mr. Jiang doesn't communicate with her in a word. He seems to treat her as an appreciation object from the beginning to the end. Although his eyes are not lewd, this cold and beautiful approach still makes people feel uncomfortable.

Somewhat difficult to accept.

"Am I just a decoration?"

Miss Su complained in her heart. The picture of cranes flapping their wings and singing loudly that Zhao Hongrun painted on the wall could be said to have touched her heartstrings. Therefore, even if Zhao Hongrun did not really guess what she was thinking, she could not bear it.

I can't help but want to know something about Mr. Jiang in front of me.

But I didn't expect that Mr. Jiang was too indifferent to the beauty. He just admired her beauty without any verbal communication with her.

"You guys are going too far, you know?"

The words Zhao Hongrun said made Miss Su and the little maid Lu'er a little unbelievable, wondering who was going too far?

Although they had different ideas, both Miss Su and the little maid Lu'er were offended by Zhao Hongrun's words, as if the thief was shouting to catch the thief.

"You guys, why do you think we are going too far? I'm not a waiter in a wine shop, so why do I have to pour you drinks all the time?" the little maid accused angrily.

"Because she lost."

"What's so good about your poor crane painting? You're so skinny that you'll fall down when the wind blows... My lady just lets you do it because of your young age... I'll just give you a drink. I didn't expect you to be like this.

You are so shameless, do you really think that my lady is a waiter in a restaurant?"

Lu'er's words made Miss Su blush slightly. After all, anyone who has some attainments in painting skills can see that the cranes painted by Zhao Hongrun are simply not on the same level as the cranes she painted.

This is the difference between an immortal crane and an ordinary crane.

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Miss Su and saw that she was blushing and embarrassed, so he didn't say anything and asked curiously: "Then what do you want?"

Lu'er tilted her head and looked at Zhao Hongrun for a while, then suddenly asked: "Hey, do you have money?"

"So straightforward?"

Zhao Hongrun was a little amused when he heard this: "It depends on how many questions you ask."

"Ten thousand taels of gold!" Lu'er said arrogantly: "If you have ten thousand taels of gold to redeem the lady, the lady will even pour you a lifetime of wine... But do you have it?"

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly.

Seeing his frown, Miss Su felt a little panicked for some reason. As if she didn't want to be misunderstood by him, she scolded in a low voice: "Lu'er, don't talk nonsense!"

She lowered her head, feeling quite ashamed.

However, the little maid Lu'er didn't feel ashamed at all. She pouted and said: "Miss, what's not to say? Who among the ladies in the building doesn't think so? Why don't you look for me while you are still a bastard?"

A suitable rich boy is your destination, are you really prepared to stay like this for the rest of your life?"

"I see……"

Zhao Hongrun suddenly felt enlightened.

However, it suddenly dawned on him that he found it a little funny to see the little girl asking for such a high price. Ten thousand taels of gold, converted into hundreds of thousands of silver, right? Even if this girl Su is made of gold, she is not worth the price.

?

"About one hundred and fifty taels of gold..." he muttered.

"Note: According to Zhao Hongrun's visual inspection, this Miss Su is about fifty kilograms (old kilogram system). Even if it is made of gold, it is only one hundred and forty-four taels of gold."

『??』

Suddenly hearing what Zhao Hongrun said, Miss Su and Lu'er felt a little confused.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun looked at Miss Su up and down, and explained thoughtfully: "I mean... Miss Su weighs about fifty kilograms, even if it is made of gold, it is only one hundred and fifty taels of gold...

…It works out to less than two thousand taels of silver…I can still get these two thousand taels of silver.”

Indeed, two thousand taels of silver is roughly Zhao Hongrun's monthly salary as a prince for four months. It's not too much, but it's not much.

"Bah!"

Before Miss Su could react, Lu'er angrily cursed: "You are only worth two thousand taels! Haven't you heard that beauty is priceless? A while ago, a rich kid wanted to pay five thousand taels of silver.

To redeem the young lady, the steward of a waterside pavilion didn't even look at it."

But when it comes to this, she has slightly changed her opinion of Zhao Hongrun. After all, Zhao Hongrun's attitude was very casual when he mentioned the two thousand taels of silver, which meant that the other person's family background might not be what she had guessed before.

"But no matter what, ten thousand taels of gold is still too exaggerated, right? ... I wonder how much silver Miss Su owes this waterside pavilion?"

"Eh? Does this mean you want to redeem your life for me?"

Miss Su was stunned when she heard this and looked up at Zhao Hongrun. The more she looked at his immature face, the more awkward she felt.

He was fourteen and she was twenty. The fourteen-year-old he seemed to be planning to redeem himself for the twenty-year-old her. No matter how you looked at it, this seemed to be a very awkward thing.

After all, in Miss Su's eyes, Mr. Jiang, who is only fourteen years old, is just a child. Can his words count? "Note: In ancient times, the nobles had twenty crowns, and the sons of common people had families in fifteen."

But looking at Zhao Hongrun's serious eyes, clearly telling her not to take it seriously, her heart was still beating a little.

"This... I don't know the details. I have to ask the manager in the building..."

She lowered her head, her cheeks flushed with shame.

"Well, this way..." Zhao Hongrun frowned and thought for a moment: "Go and ask... If I can do my best, I should do my best."

He knew that women like this who had the misfortune to end up like this would hardly owe much money when they were sold to a brothel. The problem was that when they redeemed their bodies, if the brothel couldn't make a fortune, they would definitely die.

Don't let it go. This is the key.

Of course, as for how to place Miss Su after she is redeemed, this is also a problem. You can't secretly hide her in Wenzhao Pavilion, right? If this is found out, the consequences will be much more serious.

But if you don't care...

Zhao Hongrun looked at the woman in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little tempted. After all, gentle and quiet women like this were the type he admired.

"Oh..." Miss Su replied calmly, her heart pounding.

But even so, she didn't take it seriously in her heart. After all, the words spoken by a fourteen-year-old child really lacked trust.

It's not that he doubts the financial resources of the other party's family. After all, almost all young masters who can say such things casually are from wealthy families. The problem is that even if he has the financial resources to redeem her, he may not be able to give her a good home.

Her age, her origin, these are all issues.

Because of this, Miss Su didn't take it seriously at all, she just thought this young master was quite interesting.

At this time, it was getting late and it was already dusk. Zongwei Shen Yu, who had never disturbed them from beginning to end, came over and whispered: "Sir, it's time, we should go back."

"Hmm."

Zhao Hongrun nodded. Although he felt reluctant to leave, after all, the Emperor of Wei had placed a ban on him. If he did not return to the palace at dusk, the token in his hand might be confiscated.

"Miss Su, I'll take my leave first... Lu Mu."

Zhao Hongrun stood up and bowed to Miss Su, then called Zongwei Lu Mu.

Lu Mu understood, and took out the fifty taels of silver ingots from the package he was carrying, and arranged them neatly on the table, a total of eight ingots.

Four hundred taels!
