Chapter Eighty-Six: Going to the Feast

When the sky was slightly bright, there were already many people standing on the south gate side, and in addition to people, there were all kinds of noisy livestock chirping, and the smell was naturally not very pleasant in summer.

"Xiang Seven!"

A shrill voice shouted, and with the sound of the horse's hooves, the gatekeeper of the southern gate rode over.

A young man who was laughing with a few people at the doorway hurriedly ran over.

"Lord Zheng, you're here." He nodded and said.

The tall, thin man on the horse raised his eyebrows and pointed at him with a horsewhip.

"Why hasn't it been cleaned yet?" He said.

Xiang Qi didn't dare to speak, so he hurriedly responded, and turned around to greet the others.

"You sweep it yourself, do you want everyone to get started with this city gate?" Zheng Menguan shouted, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at a few people over there, "When you draw taxes and get cards, you run fast one by one, and there is a lot of work on the city gate, why don't you see it?" Raise you idlers! ”

A few people were scolded and did not raise their hands, and they went up to the city gate in a disorderly manner.

The man exhaled indignantly and looked at Xiang Qi, who was already cleaning with a broom.

"You slackers!" The man cursed, flicked his whip and turned away.

Seeing him leave, the scattered officials gathered.

"Where are you angry again?"

"I must have been kicked out by the young lady of the Qinglou again..."

Everyone talked about making fun of them to get angry, and saw that the young man over there was still sprinkling and sweeping.

"Xiang Qi, don't sweep it, it's a pile of and urine when you enter the door for a while, where can you sweep it." They shouted.

The man didn't seem to hear it, and still swept his head.

"Xiang Qi too, what are you doing here to suffer this grievance."

"Yes. Let your father-in-law contribute some money. Which gate to go to is not good. Not to serve the cattle at this south gate."

"That's it, there is such an old man, what kind of little official should he be, just enjoy the happiness at home..."

"What an old man, that's a father"

"Isn't that better, it's closer than my father-in-law."

They joked and joked, Xiang Qi over there didn't seem to hear it, but the cleaning efforts were getting stronger and stronger. The speed is getting faster and faster, and there is a cloud of dust and smoke in front of the city gate, so that those who are waiting to leave the city can't help but cover their mouths and noses to hide.

This little official is not bullshit in the eyes of the official family, but they are not bullshit in the eyes of these little officials.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses to avoid it, but no one dared to complain, but they could only swallow their anger when they were swept a few times by Xiang Qi.

After a while, the city gate opened, and people inside and outside the city surged, but the first to come was not people, but groups of pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks.

Xiang Qi was still sweeping his head, and the group of domestic animals were driven by, and soon there was a stall of and dung on the ground. Pedestrians dodged, disturbing the pigs and sheep. Running around, Xiang Qi on the side couldn't help but step on it, and even his clothes were spotted.

"Damn!" Xiang Qi finally got angry, "It's not enough to be angry with people, you have to be angry with animals!" ”

He slammed the broom dustpan in his hand to the ground and walked away.

When the day was bright, Xiang Qi stepped into the house, and the people in the family saw it or gave a hasty salute or didn't see it at all, Xiang Qi was also accustomed to not care, and went straight into the house and threw down the clogs and entered the door.

"Why did you come back?"

The woman's voice came from within.

"Didn't they all come back at this time?" Xiang Qi said, with a little surprise on his face, "Why does the lady think..."

"Can it be the same today? Brother Xu, they are coming today. The woman interrupted him and came out of the inner chamber.

She was wearing a new dress, wearing a butterfly pendant, and was wearing a pearl pendant on her ears, delicately smearing grease and powder, and her eyebrows and eyes were all smiling.

It's just that when he saw Xiang Qi, the smile on his face flew away.

Xiang Qi's face was already full of surprise.

"Why are you getting dirty and smelly again?" The woman frowned and waved her hands and shouted, "Who let you enter the house like this?" Get out of the way and wash! ”

"How did I get so dirty and smelly, you still don't know what to do?" Xiang Qi said in a sullen voice, "Didn't you let me go to the South City Gate?" ”

He didn't dare to speak out loud as he lowered his head and walked out.

"Hurry up, you go outside to pick up Brother Xu and them, so as not to bother looking for them." The woman shouted again.

Xiang Qi raised his head and glanced at the woman, his face was pale, and his eyes could not hide his hatred.

The woman took the mirror and looked at the sideburns, but did not see it.

Xiang Qi withdrew his gaze and bowed his head and walked away.

At this time, Xu Maoxiu and others had already walked out of the door and were crossing the Hongqiao in the city, when they heard a female voice laughing and shouting Lang Jun under the bridge.

At this time in summer, there are many painting boats in the river, there are female prostitutes who accompany the benefactor, and there are also female relatives who spend the summer in ordinary people.

Xu Maoxiu and the others didn't care at first, but they couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the familiar voice.

"Lady, look, it's really Lang Jun and them." The maidservant shouted, waving at the seven men on the bridge.

"It's my sister."

Xu Maoxiu and the others all rushed to the side of the bridge and leaned in.

There were three women standing on a small light boat, and they all looked up at them.

"Where is my sister going?" Xu Maoxiu asked, and after asking, his eyes had already seen the young man standing at the stern of the boat.

Qin Thirteen bowed to them from afar.

"Let's go to the ship's feast." The maid smiled, squinting her eyes and smiling while looking at Xu Maoxiu and the others, "Langjun is wearing new clothes today, are you going to the banquet?" ”

Hearing her say this, several men were a little uncomfortable, and reached out and tugged at their clothes.

"I just said don't change into new clothes, and it's not a blind date." Xu Bangmao muttered.

The river was turbulent, Cheng Jianniang smiled at them, waved her hand, and the light boat quickly crossed the Hongqiao.

"Lang Jun must have gone to see old acquaintances." The servant girl laughed and looked back.

Seeing that Xu Maoxiu and the others were on the red bridge, they turned around and were still stopping to watch.

"There are five rainbow bridges along the way, and the largest one is just outside the city." Qin Shisan said, walking slowly, because the boat was shaky and unstable, he had to be supported by a small servant.

"The lady used to go out with carriages and horses, but today look at the scenery of this waterway." He laughed.

"It's different." Cheng Jianniang said, looking at another arched bridge.

"Last time, I was going to invite a lady to play." Qin Shisan smiled, "I didn't expect the lady to cure me so neatly." Didn't give me a chance to please Lu. ”

Cheng Jianniang turned her head to look at him and smiled slightly.

"That's also the cooperation of Gongzi Qin." She said.

Qin Thirteen was stunned, and immediately laughed.

Next to the riverbank. Pedestrians are being driven away. It is better to avoid a team of carriages and horses.

"Stop."

Suddenly, a clear voice came from the car.

The well-trained carriages and horses immediately stopped, and the guards in front and behind were also vigilant.

The people who were blocked off on the street were laughing and laughing, and the shops on one side were still hawking.

There were no pedestrians on this side of the river, and the curtain was lifted, revealing the face of a young man.

The king of Jin'an looked at the oncoming boat in the river, getting closer and closer, and seeing more and more clearly, the young men and women on the boat stood side by side. Laugh at each other and blink an eye.

The king of Jin'an couldn't help but turn his head to chase after him.

"The king of the county?" The attendant asked in a low voice.

King Jin'an retracted his gaze and waved his hand.

The convoy continued to move forward, the beaded curtain swaying in the wind making the side of the boy looming in it.

The so-called boat banquet is naturally on the boat, the river breeze is cool, and those silk and bamboo songs are much more graceful than usual.

"How?"

Qin Shisan asked, looking at Cheng Jianniang who put down the dishes and chopsticks opposite.

"Not bad." Cheng Jianniang nodded in praise.

Qin Shisan looked at the untouched wine on her table.

"The lady is also sick, so it's inconvenient to drink?" He asked.

"It's not." Cheng Jianniang said, looking down at the wine bowl in her hand, the juice in it was cool and smelled fragrant. "It's not a good wine."

The prostitute who was stroking the piano on the side couldn't help but laugh.

"Lady, our family's wine is famous in Beijing." She said. "Maybe it's a lady who can't get used to it."

Qin Shisan's face was slightly displeased and he glanced at the prostitute.

The prostitute hurriedly bowed her head and confessed, and she couldn't hide a faint smile while looking at her female companions.

This little Langjun is very caring, and he is not allowed to say this kind of thing.

"Yes, it's really hard to eat." Cheng Jianniang nodded and said, getting up.

"There are still good songs and dances here." Qin Shisan hurriedly said, "It's still early, it's better to have some fun." ”

Cheng Jianniang had already stood up and saluted with a smile.

"That's next time." She said, "Didn't you say it was a wine banquet this time?" ”

Qin Shisan also got up with a smile and walked with her one after another.

"Rokuro is leaving." He said suddenly.

Cheng Jianniang hummed.

The corridor of the painting boat is narrow, and the two of them are almost parallel to each other, so they can't tolerate the help of the little guy, but fortunately, Cheng Jiaoniang didn't walk fast.

"He's going to the Northwest." Qin Thirteen said again.

Cheng Jianniang hummed again.

The two of them walked out of the cabin, where the boat was already waiting, and the women on the other side reached out to help.

"Cheng Jianniang." Qin Thirteen shouted.

Cheng Jianniang, who had already stepped on the pedal, looked back at him.

"Can he invite you to a banquet?" Qin 13 asked.

"Then I don't know what to say, I'm not him." Cheng Jianniang shook her head and said.

Qin Shisan looked at her and smiled, and then laughed.

The boat paddled lightly, and the woman over there saluted again, and Qin Shisanlang was busy returning the salute, and saw the boat go away.

The carriage drove into the house, Qin Shisan was helped down by the little servant, waved his hand back to continue to support the little guy who walked him, and slowly walked inward.

"Thirteen."

The familiar voice suddenly sounded, and Qin Shisan, who was distracted, stopped his feet and looked up, only to realize that he had approached the inner courtyard and saw his mother standing at the gate of the courtyard, shaking a small fan and looking at him with a smile.

"What a coincidence, I met you back." Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Where did you go to play?" ”

"Mother, why can't you get tired of this kind of trick of chance encounters?" Qin Shisan smiled, as if he was a little helpless, "You want to ask me how I played, right?" ”

Mrs. Qin smiled and covered her face with a fan.

"Oops, Thirteen is so smart and seen through again." She smiled at the servant woman beside her.

"Yes, madam, even if we are stupid, we can see through it, not to mention Thirteen Langjun." The servants laughed.

Mrs. Qin laughed even more.

Qin 13 looked at his mother's smile, and he also smiled slightly.

Unlike in the past, my mother's smile was even more hearty.

That's right, it's changed, it's all changed, there's no way around it.

"How are you playing with that little lady?" Mrs. Qin asked with a smile.

"Good." Qin Shisan said, his smile spread, and he raised his feet and stepped forward.

It's just that he stopped and looked up at the sky, how did this luncheon go by a little faster.
