Chapter Fourteen: A Nighttime Meeting with a Beauty

  Suddenly a huge and authentic Wudalang meat pie falls on your face from the sky, what would be your reaction?

  People who are careless will choose to take a few bites first without caring about anything. Cautious people will check if it's poisonous or not, then decide what to do with it. As for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder, they'll shout: "Oh no, why does it have to be Wudalang brand meat pie, can't it be Old Beijing crispy sesame meat pie?"

  It's clear that Jiang Xia is not a careless person, nor does he have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but he is cautious. Moreover, Jiang Xia's caution far exceeds that of ordinary people.

  Kang Qingyan's words that day were easy to guess, it was Liu Jin letting her persuade Jiang Xia to join the Gong Fang Pavilion.

  It only takes two thousand taels of silver to get a share of the Quanfang Pavilion, this is not just a pie falling from the sky, it's like a naked goddess falling from heaven... Wipe your mouth and tidy up your hair, let's continue talking about Jiang Xia.

  Although the time spent in the group fragrance pavilion was not long, this did not prevent Jiang Xia from having a simple estimate of the group fragrance pavilion. The group fragrance pavilion is located on the most prosperous street in Shuntian Prefecture, and there are more than 100 girls in the store, from ordinary to top-grade. The huge amount of silver needed for such a scale has already been negligible, and the super-strong human relationship hidden behind it is even more invaluable.

  But Jiang Xia himself knew his situation, although he was handsome and talented, with a brilliant mind. However, having just arrived in the Ming Dynasty for only a few days, without any money or connections, why would Lady Kang entrust such a good thing to him?

  She had already been expecting this for a long time. Jiang Xia felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and secretly thought to herself: "This woman still hasn't given up on her desire for me, and is even willing to spend such a large sum of money to entice me. How detestable! Should I give in to her, or should I give in to her, or perhaps give in to her?"

  Jiang Xia looked at Mrs. Kang seriously, he wanted to use self-hypnosis to turn Mrs. Kang into the ultimate beauty in his heart, but unfortunately, it ended in failure.

  Jiang Xia shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Kang Mama, you don't have to do this. It's impossible for me and you, even if you give me half of the shares of Qun Fang Pavilion... let alone giving me the entire Qun Fang Pavilion..."

  Jiang Xia gritted her teeth: "I will also protect my own innocence, and I absolutely won't let you succeed."

  Mrs. Kang was stunned after hearing Jiang Xia's words, and then she understood what Jiang Xia meant. Heaven has eyes, and although Kang Qianyan had some thoughts about Jiang Xia, she absolutely did not use the shares of the Qingfang Pavilion to entice him. Now that she had been refused by Jiang Xia in such severe terms, Mrs. Kang suddenly became a little angry.

  "Hum! Jiang Xia, don't be shameless. Your contract is still in my hands. Today, either you agree to become a shareholder of Qunfang Pavilion, and I will immediately tear up your contract. From now on, you will be one of the bosses of Qunfang Pavilion. If you don't agree, then you can forget about being a teacher at Shufang Academy. Get out of here and go back to being a servant, washing toilets every day!"

  It's all over, the relationship is ruined.

  Jiang Xia's heart was filled with anxiety. It was as if he was a fish on the chopping board, with one side being freedom and wealth, and the other side being dignity and character. In his heart, Jiang Xia silently recited a poem: "Life is indeed precious, but dignity is even more valuable. If it's for the sake of freedom, both can be abandoned. Hmm, good wet, good wet, truly a masterful hand at wetness."

  "Alright! I promise you, Mom Kang!"

  Kang's mother glanced at Jiang Xia, then pulled out two documents from her sleeve and said: "Come on, these are the deed to the Gongfang Pavilion house, as well as half of the ownership transfer documents for the maidservants, attendants, and young ladies. You just need to sign your name and stamp it with your seal, and then pay me 2,000 taels of silver. After that, half of the Gongfang Pavilion will be yours. If you don't have 2,000 taels, it's no problem, we can deduct it from the future profits."

  After finishing speaking, Mrs. Kang took out Jiang Xia's deed of sale from her bosom and said gently: "Sign it, as long as you sign it, I will immediately tear up this deed of sale."

  Jiang Xia looked at the deed of sale, then angrily picked up the pen and signed his name on the document. Carefully putting one copy of the document into his own bosom, he waited for Kang Mama to tear up the deed of sale before opening his clothes to reveal his muscular chest: "Come on, Kang Mama, I'm ready now. Have mercy on me a little, in this era... it's still my first time."

  Right. In this era of the Great Ming Dynasty, it was indeed Jiang Xia's first time, but in Jiang Xia's life, he had already forgotten how many times he had done so.

  Kang's mother looked at Jiang Xia's chest muscles, which were as hard and distinct as if carved by a knife, and suddenly breathed rapidly. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand to touch Jiang Xia's chest. This touch immediately made Jiang Xia have the urge to slap her flying.

  "Alas, I'm just not cut out for this kind of thing. No matter what, I just can't get past my own psychological barrier."

  Just as Jiang Xia was about to open his mouth to refuse, Kang Qingyan suddenly burst into a loud roar: "What do you take me, Kang Qingyan, for? Get out of here immediately! I don't want to see you again!"

  Jiang Xia was taken aback, and in her heart, she silently said: "What? Is that it? Can't this woman even...?" Ah! Does the term 'impotent' apply to women too?!

  But anyway, Jiang Xia didn't dare to linger any longer. While tidying up her clothes, she said: "Auntie Kang, you are a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering and difficulties. I'll take my leave first."

  After walking to the door, Jiang Xia couldn't help but stick his head back into the room and say: "Kang Mama, actually if you're really feeling lonely, I suggest you try going to the kitchen to pick a cucumber. That thing is not only the right size and hardness, but it also comes with its own texture. The housewives in my hometown are said to use......"

  "Get out!!!"

  The sound wave blew Jiang Xia out of the Wenyun Building. Jiang Xia immediately ran out of the gate of the Wenyun Building in a flash.

  Mrs. Kang in the Wenyuan Pavilion was panting heavily, her high and bulging chest rising and falling with an astonishing arc as she breathed. Finally, when her anger had slowly dissipated, Mrs. Kang muttered to herself: "Bastard, if I hadn't just gotten my period, you would have been done for today. But don't worry, you can't escape the palm of my hand."

  Jiang Xia rushed back to his room, closing the door behind him. He patted his chest with a lingering fear and whispered, "What a close call! Women in menopause who don't drink oral liquid are indeed fierce. Fire prevention, theft prevention, and wife prevention - this saying is really true."

  Walked over to the table and sat down, picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, Jiang Xia took a sip to calm his nerves.

  After putting down the teacup, Jiang Xia took out the deed from his bosom and examined it carefully. Although he wasn't very familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the content of the deed seemed to be in order on the surface, and Kang Qingyan had indeed transferred the ownership of the Group Fragrance Pavilion to him.

  "Really, Zhen sent half of the White Mansion's flowers to me?" Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment before touching his own face, and with a pained expression, he muttered to himself: "Alas, Dad and Mom, who made you give birth to someone as handsome and charming as me? Isn't this forcing me to come out and harm people?"

  After a busy night, Jiang Xia was ready to go to bed. As he walked to the bedside, his gaze caught sight of a piece of Xuan paper on the desk, which seemed to have some writing on it.

  Jiang Xia walked over and picked up the paper to take a look.

  "One smile and you've seen him, two smiles three smiles and you see even more."

  The beautiful handwriting didn't have a signature, but Jiang Xia naturally understood that this was left for her by Cui Nian Nu.

  Three watches. That is, from 11 pm to 1 am.

  A woman is having a clandestine meeting with a man at such an ungodly hour, what does she want to do? Doesn't she know that I am a noble person, a person of sentiment, a person who has transcended lowly tastes?

  It's only right that a gentle and charming man should tell stories to help a girl who can't sleep in the middle of the night. As a man with gentlemanly demeanor and chivalrous spirit, it is also his duty to do so.

  Jiang Xia's heart struggled slightly for a moment before suppressing the excited emotions and happily walking towards Nian Nu's residence.

  At this time, it was around three watches. Jiang Xia came to the door of Nianslave's residence and gently pushed the door, finding that it was not bolted.

  At the third watch, a lonely girl with a spring in her heart. Jiang Xia muttered to himself: "As a young man with dreams and pursuits, I should rescue countless beautiful girls from the scorching loneliness, this is my responsibility, and it should be my eternal pursuit."

  "Niang nuo, wo lai le..." translates to "Girl, I'm here..."

  Jiang Xia pushed open the door and entered Cui Nian Nu's room.

  The room was pitch black, with no candlelight to be seen. Suddenly a fragrant breeze swept in, and Jiang Xia opened his arms to welcome the warm, soft, and delicate body into his embrace. However, what he received instead of the enchanting and alluring figure he had imagined was a powerful and forceful kick that struck him right in the chest.

  "Bang!" Jiang Xia was kicked by this foot and fell backwards against the door.

  Then Jiang Xia suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and the countless experiences he had been through told him that there was a sharp blade beside his neck.

  "Ah, great heroine, spare my life! I have an elderly mother at home who needs to be supported, and a baby who is still breastfeeding. As a man, I'm both father and mother to them, and all I do is support my parents and raise my children. I've never done anything wrong, and every day I help old ladies cross the street. If I find five cents on the ground, I'll even hand it over to the police uncle. Please, spare my life! My life isn't worth much..."

  "Sister, don't hurt him!"

  The candle in the room was lit at once, and the line of sight suddenly brightened up.

  Jiang Xia suddenly found that it was a woman in white clothes who held her neck with a short sword, and the short sword was clearly unsheathed, extremely sharp.

  But just as the candlelight lit up, taking advantage of everyone's eyes not having adapted to the sudden change in light, Jiang Xia suddenly moved. He tilted his head and his body pounced towards the woman in white like a nimble monkey.

  The woman in white didn't react before Jiang Xia had already struck the acupoint on her waist, causing her to feel a sharp pain. The long sword in her hand fell to the ground. Since Jiang Xia knew she was skilled in martial arts, he quickly used both hands to pin down hers and then used his legs to press down on hers, holding her body tightly beneath him.
