Chapter 157 Ten Miles of Smoke and Waves, Ruthless is the Most Zhang Tailiu
My heart says bad things are bad. Zhang Youqian, this guy, which pot is not opened.
When I came, I specially discussed the selection of gifts, and this kind of ceremonial visit can not be left empty-handed, and gifts are not too expensive. But this kid actually did such things as sending combs to monks, reading glasses to blind people, and avoidance ~ pregnancy condoms to eunuchs.
Zhang Youqian saw that Feng Ling was angry, and hurriedly changed his words and said: I'm sorry, I took it wrong. As he spoke, he took out the jade of a jade camel and said, as the so-called men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, not men and women wear camels, Father-in-law Feng, this camel is a perfect match for you.
I have dealt with Feng Linggan before because of the Hu Zongxian case, this Feng Linggan has always been the master of calculating and retribution, but today Zhang Youqian scolded him like this, he just looked slightly embarrassed and did not take it to heart.
Feng Linggan said that the two head catchers are really humorous, and our family has prepared a little thin wine in the butterfly boat, please inside.
The butterfly boat is one long and six zhang long, and it is very famous in the Qinhuai River area.
The painting boat on the Qinhuai River is a unique existence in the world, which is different from the centralized management of the brothel ~ courtyard of the Qinglou, the painting boat is also a variant of the Qinglou, and the owner of the painting boat is generally the famous local geisha.
These people are different from Qinglou*, in addition to being the signboard of the painting boat, they are also the owners of the painting boat, and they can freely dispose of their income, so they can generally come to this kind of painting boat, either rich or expensive, and the consumption is naturally much higher.
* At this level, it's not just a pure flesh business, and among some high-ranking guests, they care more about a spiritual exchange than a pure bodily fluid exchange.
These high-level*, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, blowing, playing and singing are all excellent, and the most famous of them is Qin Huai Siyan. These women are not from the rivers and lakes, and in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, they have found backers. In other words, those who have not found a backer have gradually been eliminated from the competition of Qinhuaihe.
When I came to the painting boat, I saw three or four people playing and singing in the inner hall, and a man and a woman drinking tea on the side table. I don't know if it's a coincidence, I happen to know this man, it is Xie Junfan, the son of the Xie family in Jinling.
When Xie Junfan saw me coming in, he stood up and said, Brother Su didn't say a word to his younger brother when he returned to Jinling, and his younger brother also arranged to catch the wind. I said that you are now one of the three princes of martial arts, and we can't afford to climb high.
Xie Junfan laughed and said that these are some false names made by my uncle with money, so as to find some convenience for me to walk the rivers and lakes in the future. Actually, you don't know what level I have, and I won't let you go today. Come, let me introduce you to our first beauty in Jinling City, Liu Jingrong.
The woman who drank tea with him just now gave a salute and said that she had seen two sons.
I looked at this famous Liu Jingrong, she was wearing a long skirt of tulle, her hair was combed into a bun, and her long hair was pulled up into a large vertebrae, hanging down on the side of her head, looking like a thousand kinds of style.
Feng Linggan also followed, saying that everyone was here, let's take a seat.
I was muttering in my heart, Feng Linggan invited us to dinner tonight, but Xie Junfan also appeared here.
However, after thinking about it, a large part of the Xie family's business in Jinling is silk, and Feng Linggan is a young supervisor of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which inevitably involves some interests.
Today, Feng Linggan invited us for the report letter in our hands, so we found someone like Xie Junfan, who we all knew, in order to have a buffer between each other. Moreover, with the presence of a third party, even if the talks break down, we will not save face for each other, instead of directly tearing our faces.
Three men, one woman, and one eunuch, five people were seated, and their own maidservants served beside them. Feng Linggan also calmed down, and did not mention the matter of the report letter at all, but instead led the topic to the battle between the Martial Arts Alliance and the Netherworld Sect on Fengyun Island.
Because of my personal experiences and their hearsay, the Battle of Fengyun Island became more full in my heart. It turned out that the contest between the Netherworld Sect and the Martial Arts Alliance was not only on Fengyun Island, but directly penetrated the entire rivers and lakes.
In this war, both sides lost and lost, which led to a significant reduction in the power and influence of both sides in the rivers and lakes, and some sects that were originally affiliated with them wanted to gradually get rid of their control, or re-stipulate the division of interests, which neither side wanted to see.
Therefore, after the battle of Fengyun Island, the Netherworld Sect led by Xu Ruonan opened the stick mode, and the most influential of them was the existence of a death list announced by the Netherworld Sect. There are a total of ninety-nine people in the death list, but the specific details have not been announced, this move is tantamount to knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, so that some sects on the rivers and lakes that participated in the crusade against Fengyun Island are in danger.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Xie Junfan said, Brother Su, it is said that you have been to Fengyun Island, but I don't know if you can tell me about the situation at that time?
I didn't want to say much about these things, so I had to say that I went, but I was trapped in a cave, and by the time I came out, it was over, so I didn't see anything.
However, Liu Jingrong said, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it should be the day of family reunion, but you are talking about some vendettas in the rivers and lakes, what a big scene, why don't we chant poems?
Xie Junfan is a veteran of flowers and a famous son, I agree with this.
Zhang Youqian and I are extremely opposed, although Zhang Youqian is rich, but he hates reading, and I am a half-hanger, if I make poetry, I am afraid it will be embarrassing.
Feng Ling said, since everyone is unwilling to make poetry, let's be right. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is also a timely occasion.
Everyone applauded, and the five took turns to come out with couplets, Xie Junfan is a famous son, Liu Jingrong has her own attributes of a talented woman, and the limelight was robbed by the two, and Zhang Youqian and I only had to drink.
After seven or eight glasses of wine, I was also a little drunk, Liu Jingrong said, it was Su Gongzi's turn to come out with a couplet.
I glanced at Liu Jingrong, this woman is beautiful, she has a smile and a smile, she looks like a veil, she is very good at hiding her emotions, it is elusive, and Xu Ruonan's nature and Xie Junyan's frankness are even more different.
I said I wouldn't make a couplet.
Liu Jingrong said with a smile, I think Childe seems to be deliberately targeting Jingrong.
Feng Linggan also persuaded on the side, you can come up with any one.
I thought for a moment, thought of an uplink, and said slowly, Qin Huai ten miles of smoke waves, ruthless is the most Zhangtai Liu.
Xie Junfan said that Brother Su joined the union with the name of the word brand, and this link is good. On the side, Liu Jingrong said quietly, it's good, but I don't know how Jingrong offended Su Gongzi, and even made a couplet, and ridiculed me.
I didn't even say it was improvised, and I didn't mean anything against you.
Everyone began to do it right, Feng Linggan said that he couldn't do it, so he punished himself.
When the wine came up, everyone had no previous restraints, and they all spoke a lot more casually, only I was secretly vigilant, Feng Linggan was still gathering energy and making big moves, I have to be careful.
Liu Jingrong said that this couplet Su Gongzi is aimed at me, I am wrong, Xie Gongzi, Zhang Gongzi, you are right, whoever is right, I will feed you a sip of wine.
When Zhang Youqian heard this, he scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, but he couldn't think of the next link.
Xie Junfan laughed and said that Gonggong Feng had a treat today, and I, Xie Junfan, can be regarded as coming. I'll try it, the upper link is: Qinhuai ten miles of smoke, ruthless is the most Zhangtai Liu. I'll come to the next couplet: Jiangnan August mid-autumn, fun has its own interpretation flowers.
Liu Jingrong clapped his hands and said, the fairness of this couplet, Zhangtai Liu and Xie Yuhua are all word brand names, and they are also considered pairs. She gave me a blank look and said, but in the eyes of some people, I am a ruthless person, but in the eyes of Gongzi Xie, I am a wonderful person.
I knew she said me again, I laughed and didn't respond.
Xie Junfan leaned back and said that Jingrong was going to feed the wine.
Zhang Youqian suddenly slapped the table, and everyone jumped, and he shouted, there is.
What I asked?
Zhang Youqian said that I have a link.
I said in my heart that you didn't make a few couplets one night, this is going out to eat six walnuts, and there are actually couplets. Feng Linggan was also quite interested, and asked, what is Zhang Zhutou's next link?
Zhang Youqian said, Shanglian: Qinhuai ten miles of smoke waves, ruthless is the most Zhang Tailiu. I am right in the next link: Jinling is the eighth thousand-year-old king, and his longevity is only two Ma Feng.
Everyone looked at each other.
I said in my heart that Zhang Youqian had taken gunpowder today, and it was a gift, and it was a pair, which was obviously a rhythm to offend Feng Ling.
repeatedly made sarcastic remarks, even if a person with a good temper couldn't bear it, let alone Feng Linggan.
His face was gloomy, he got up slowly, and said in a strange manner: Su Zhukuai, Zhang Zhukuai, our family is kind and angry, and we invite you to come over, and I just want to make you two friends, but you do this, it will inevitably be chilling.
I talked nonsense all night, and finally got to the point, so I said, Gonggong Feng invited us to come, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as making friends, right?
Feng Linggan said that Su Zhutou is quick to talk, so I won't go around the corner. Our family used to employ unknown people, and if he recognized his godson in Songjiang Mansion, he would stab Lou Zi for our family, but his son was no longer angry, after all, he also kowtowed to our family, and our family couldn't ignore it. I didn't hear that Su Zhutou went to Songjiang Mansion, so he did a very happy thing.
I slowly stood up, stared at Feng Linggan and said, Long story short, just say your conditions.
Feng Linggan smiled, I like to deal with people like you, directly, you give me that letter, and in return, you bring back the back tone of Wu Saburo, and I helped you.
I said, what else?
Feng Linggan said, our family has been in Jinling City for more than ten years, and we dare not say that we dominate one side, and we finally have some weight in saying a word on the Jinling territory, which even the new governor may not be able to compare. You did me a favor this time, I owe you a favor.
I asked again, "That's all?"
Feng Linggan said of course, our family still has to send 10,000 taels of silver.
Zhang Youqian said 10,000 taels? Send it to Huazi, at least 100,000 taels!
Feng Linggan smiled and said that our family was an errand for the inner court and shared the emperor's worries, but it was not comparable to Zhang Gongzi's family's great fortune and rival the country, and this 10,000 taels of silver was also pulled out from between the teeth by our family's frugality. How's that, Su Catcher?
I began to hesitate, I couldn't get used to him.
If it was before, I would have hid and the well water would not interfere with the river water, but now I have promised Wu Saburo to bring these court moths to justice.
Choosing to cooperate, we will definitely have a smooth sail in Jinling, the martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River are inextricably linked with Feng Linggan, and choosing to refuse is bound to be like walking in the dark night, which is thrilling.
Feng Linggan was impatient and asked, how did you think about it?
I said lightly, I'm afraid I'll disappoint my father-in-law.
Feng Ling's expression changed slightly, and Xie Junfan sighed on the side.
I saw that it was not too early, so I said goodbye, the atmosphere was a little solemn, and when the painting boat landed, Feng Ling felt that he should never underestimate my determination.
It's late at night, and there are fewer pedestrians on the road.
I asked Zhang Youqian if there would be trouble rejecting Feng Linggan like this.
Zhang Youqian said, I'm afraid that you will agree to him. Because I have already promised others that I will slaughter Feng Linggan with my own hands.
I said in my heart that there was still such a thing, and asked him what was going on, Zhang Youqian closed his lips tightly and did not squeak.
A cloud floated in, obscuring the full moon in the sky, and the street of Confucius Temple was empty. Apparently someone cleared the place in advance.
I glanced at the end of the long street and said to Zhang Youqian: Feng Linggan really looks up to our brothers, and he actually prepared such a big gift for us.
Feng Linggan negotiated without success, so he took our lives by thunderous means. The two immortals are right, some things can't be discussed, and it will be more direct to solve the problem by relying on fists.
The funny thing is that we are still worried about this and that, and now that we have been driven to a dead end, we realize that it is the rules to fuck and live.
I also secretly made up my mind in my heart that surviving tonight was Feng Linggan's death.
I asked, "Are you ready?"
Zhang Youqian nodded.
The two smiled at each other and joined forces to rush into the boundless darkness.
