Chapter 104: Unbearable to Hear
Translator: 549690339
Jiang Ning snapped open his fan, smiling, “The one she hit was called Xin Qing. He’s such a dashing man…”
“And what about Jin Lian?” soone 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 ss.
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 beca 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 cos back, he sees the first brother killed, so he slaughters Jin Lian and Xin Qing, gets involved in a lawsuit, then runs away to Liangshan and becos one of the heroes! He’s known as the Tianshan Star, skilled fighter Wu Song!”
Jiang Ning clapped the block, “To learn the outco, 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 segnt, one more segnt!”
Jiang Ning said, “I don’t want to tell it, co back early next ti!”
“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 enjoynt 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 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 amazent.
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 ti and place.”
Wenren Zong said, “Alright, I’ll send soone with the banknotes and invitations when I return ho.”
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 soone else sitting in the corner, behind the screen.
Li Hongyuan’s handso 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 imdiately 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..”
