At the same time as Gao Shishi and Liu Xian met, there were also two people in the Jingshi who were meeting, and the meeting place was quite elegant, called Bixiang Building.

The name of Bixiang Tower, but anyone with a little bit of literacy will know it when they see it, but it is from Zhu Xi's "Remembering Qin'e Xue, Mei Eryun Huai Zhang Jingfu": The clouds hang down, and the wind is bleak and the sky falls. The ceiling falls, thousands of forests and Qiongjiu, and an empty warbler and crane. The levy is slight, and the road is lost and lost. Increase the detachment of the rope, the river landscape, Bixiang pavilion.

Tonight, someone chartered this Bixiang Building and asked the popular prostitute Zhou Xiangyun to accompany a big butler of Gonggong Feng, whose surname was Xu Mingjue. And Gonggong Feng is none other than Feng Bao.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty each had their own set of work teams, and they were called "private ministers of each family". Each of these private ministers has a name and a name, and each is in charge of his own affairs. If he is in charge, he is actually a supervisor, responsible for handling food and cashiering silver. The upper room manages the lock key of the cabinet, and the secretary is responsible for the wholesale of documents and the transcription of documents. These private ministers can be eunuchs or normal people, such as this Xu Jue, who is a character with a wife and children. In Feng's mansion, he held the position of head of the family and won Feng Bao's trust.

And the person who contracted this building was Cao Dayu, the new household department.

At this time, the Fengge Luan Tower in the south is built extremely exquisitely and gorgeously, the carved railings draw the threshold, the silk curtain and the window, look at it like a fairyland. The style of Jingshi was originally different from that of the south, but after the middle of Jiajing, due to the frequent attacks of the south by the Japanese invaders, quite a few famous prostitutes from the south went north, and even brought the style of the south to the north.

Although there are more than 10 Fengge Luan Towers near Rouge Hutong, in the past two years, the loudest one is Bixiang Tower. is because the owner of this building is a popular prostitute from the south, who is both good in color and art, and has excellent skills. The prince and grandson, the wealthy giant, when they arrived in Beijing, most of them wanted to visit and kiss Fangze. Therefore, if you want to get her favor, you have to make an appointment in advance.

Just said that the owner of this Bixiang Building, named Zhou Xiangyun, has already booked a date with her for more than a month. Thanks to Cao Dayu's hard backing and great ability, he had important things to do today, so he squeezed in temporarily.

The sky has already darkened, and the bright palace lamps have been lit in the Bixiang Building. Cao Dayu and Zhou Xiangyun sat upstairs in the hall, gossiping sentence by sentence. After all, he is the identity of the official of Kedaoyan, and he still has to show face, in order to hide people's eyes, Cao Dayu took off his official robe and changed into civilian clothes. But from head to toe, one board and one glance, it is still the deputy officialdom. Zhou Xiangyun is actually only seventeen or eighteen years old, his eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and his skin is like clotted fat. Wearing a white skirt embroidered with a lake silk Suzhou, a plum branch embroidered on the left chest, and several plum blossoms on the top, which is exceptionally beautiful. Standing in front of the window, the weak willow supports the wind, a smile and a smile, all charming and moving.

Cao Dayu and Zhou Xiangyun actually met for the first time, and when they started to speak, they were still a little raw, but after a cup of tea, the two talked without cover.

"Master Cao, you said that the master who is coming today, what is his surname?" Zhou Xiangyun asked in a coquettish voice.

"Look at you, why did you forget what you just said?" Cao Dayu deliberately pretended to be angry, "I'll say it again, you remember clearly, the surname is Xu, Master Xu." ”

"Master Cao, you are in the middle of the matter, the celebrity is noble, this Master Xu is such a big official, it is worthy of Master Cao to slap him like this."

Cao Dayu frowned slightly: "How do you know that I am stammering him?" ”

"What do you need to ask," Zhou Xiangyun raised his two slender eyebrows lightly and giggled, "The people who come to the little woman are all just concerned about their own souls, how can there be someone like you, who entered Bixiang Building with a heart, but helped that Master Xu occupy a seat?" ”

Zhou Xiangyun had sharp teeth, laughing while talking. Xu is the privilege of beauty, after listening to this sarcasm, Cao Dayu didn't feel embarrassed, and laughed with him.

"Yue'er, refill the tea for Master Cao." Zhou Xiangyun shouted the little girl ring standing aside.

Cao Dayu took a sip of tea and said in a sneering manner: "Xiangyun Nushi, do you think that the lower officials are ...... Oh no, do you think you don't have the heart to pity the jade? Then you'd be wrong. As soon as I entered your door, I was stunned. ”

Zhou Xiangyun pursed his lips and smiled: "Then Master Cao, why do you want to give it to others?" ”

"Since I'm the master today, I should always be a bit of a gentleman, right?"

"What a gentleman's style," Zhou Xiangyun smiled teasingly, "You are also a gentleman, although the grade is not high, but the Taoist official...... It's not too small to say that it's small, but today it's a little woman to stammer, which is also a gentleman's style? ”

"You!" After receiving this robbery, Cao Dayu's face was a little unbearable, and he said stupidly, "This official has something important to discuss with Master Xu today, how can you talk nonsense like this." ”

"Yo, look, the 'official' is unhappy," Zhou Xiangyun said in a tone of Cao Dayi, but he got up, walked to Cao Dayu, bent down and gave a salute, and said: "The slave family is so offensive when he speaks, isn't this a compensation." ”

Looking at Zhou Xiangyun's shy demeanor, Cao Dayun turned his anger into joy again, and turned around and said: "Just you, a little goblin, and a capable man, when you come here, your bones can't be called two pounds." ”

Zhou Xiangyun pursed his lips: "Master Cao, the slave family can't hear what you say, is it to promote the slave family or demean the slave family." ”

"Of course it's lifted." Cao Dayu said, turned his head to Yue'er Yahuan and said, "You go downstairs and call my housekeeper up." ”

After Yue'er went for a while, she brought a half-old man up, carrying a gift box in his hand.

Cao Dayu took the gift box, sent it to Zhou Xiangyun with both hands, and said: "These are a few pieces of jewelry, it can be regarded as a meeting gift, please Xiangyun Nu Shi Xiaona." ”

Zhou Xiangyun took the gift box, opened it and took a look, only to see a pair of jade bracelets, a pair of earrings, a chest, and the green glow and glow were all high-quality jade. Seeing such a valuable gift, even Zhou Xiangyun, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Master Cao, how can the slave family afford such a valuable gift."

"I thought that the building number of the female history is called Bixiang Building, and it is green, so I chose a few kinds of jadeite, which is trivial. There are also two hundred taels of treasure money here, which can be regarded as fat powder money for you. ”

Cao Dayu's shot was so generous, which really moved Zhou Xiangyun. She snorted and said, "Master Cao, you spend so much, how can the slave family repay you." ”

Cao Dayu waved his hand, and the steward retreated.

"As long as you accompany Uncle Xu tonight and let him go back with joy, you will repay me."

"Who is this Master Xu?" Zhou Xiangyun asked again. This time, she was no longer flirting, but inquiring solemnly.

Cao Dayu pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know Gonggong Feng?" ”

"Father-in-law Feng, which father-in-law Feng?" Zhou Xiangyun shook his head blankly.

"It is today's celebrant supervisor Bingbi eunuch and Dongchang palm seal Feng Bao."

"The slave family has been in Beijing for a short time, but they don't know this big man." Zhou Xiangyun still shook his head.

Cao Dayu felt a little angry in her heart, but after thinking about it, she was originally a Qinglou woman in Nanjing, and she had only been in Beijing for a short time, and it was normal not to know about the prominent figures in Beijing officialdom. So he raised his voice and asked: "Who is the emperor today, you should always know, right?" ”

"This is not difficult for the slave family, the current emperor is Emperor Longqing." Zhou Xiangyun replied seriously.

"What about this Gonggong Feng, what's the matter, the eunuch Bingbi beside Emperor Longqing, a big celebrity."

"Ah, the people around the emperor!" Zhou Xiangyun's expression immediately became solemn: "Master Cao, you said that he was here tonight?" ”

"It's not him, I'm talking about Grandpa Feng, it's Master Xu who came up tonight."

"What is the relationship between Master Xu and Grandpa Feng?"

"Master Xu is the big butler of Grandpa Feng."

Hearing that Cao Dayu had been around for a long time before he came up with this relationship, Zhou Xiangyun said in his heart: "In the final analysis, it's just a shrimp hanging on the dragon's tail." But on the surface, she complimented: "I said how can Master Cao be so cautious, it turns out that he is a character who has stepped on the imperial city and shaken." ”

"It's good to get it." Cao Dayu let out a sigh of relief and said, "At this time, Master Xu should also arrive." ”

Zhou Xiangyun regained her relaxed and lively demeanor, she said: "Please rest assured, Master Cao, tonight, I want Master Xu to have fun here at the slave house, but it's ......."

At this time, I could only hear a shout downstairs: "Master Xu has arrived!" ”
