The meandering Slender West Lake is dotted with dozens of illuminated pleasure boats.

There are celebrities who are wandering and watching prostitutes dance and sing.

There are chivalrous warriors in the rivers and lakes, using swords as pens and dancing vertically and horizontally.

There are weak scholars, who write colorful chapters and spread them all over the country.

There are also ......

It's not very urbane!

Not far from the Mingyue Tower in the center, there is a smaller scale, but it is also a gorgeous painting boat of a three-story ship, called the Pearl Pavilion.

Tonight was not chartered like the moon boat, so there were many people.

There is a seat in the verandah on the third floor, and a young man is holding an oiran in his arms, laughing loudly, describing how wanton!

After floating on the canal for twenty days, the boy only felt that the birds were getting moldy.

Therefore, when I arrived in Yangzhou Mansion today, I first came to the Slender West Lake.

It's a pity that the best Mingyue Tower was chartered first, and he could only come to the first-class Pearl Pavilion this time.

Originally, I also wanted to charter the venue, but unfortunately now it is not as good as before, and I am shy in my pocket......

The big-headed young man laughed uncontrollably while holding the top brand of the Pearl Pavilion, Jin Yue, and at the same time he was also a little depressed in his heart, quite lonely as a tiger falling into Pingyang, and the silver was not enough.

However, this trace of loneliness is fleeting, his family also has a business name in Yangzhou Mansion, and after the silver is spent, he will go to Ming'er to get some.

Thinking of this, the boy indulged in pleasure again.

Back then, he was more stubborn on the Qinhuai River, and Slender West Lake didn't come back a few times, but he was not a guest anymore.

On the several cases in front of him, there are Yangzhou delicacies such as "boiled dried silk", "osmanthus salted duck", "stewed crab roe lion head", "Pingqiao tofu", "vinegared mandarin fish" and so on.

When I was in the capital, I was depressed in the face of the peerless beauty, and I was left behind......

The Pearl Pavilion top brand Oiran Golden Moon girl in his arms, the flower name is obviously imitating the top brand of the Ming Moon Tower, and the Pearl Pavilion painting boat is only one point worse than the Ming Moon Tower.

It is conceivable that the appearance of this golden moon is not vulgar, and its reputation is not shallow.

However, the real Yangzhou Mansion celebrities rarely visit this Pearl Pavilion in the open.

If it weren't for the fact that Jin Yue and Mingyue were sixty percent similar in appearance, this low-level painting boat that made a living by selling skin and flesh would not have been able to make such a big deal at all.

Many people who are destined not to get the No. 1 Oiran of the real thin West Lake, and covet its beauty, so they choose to come to the Pearl Pavilion and spend a lot of money to taste the golden moon, which is six points similar to the bright moon.

If it weren't for the Jiangnan Admiral's Mansion standing behind this Pearl Pavilion, the backstage of Mingyue Tower would have been helpless, and Mingyue Tower would have already found someone to set fire to this shit-like chicken nest.

But even if it is a chicken nest, Jin Yue, the top brand Oiran, also has to be faced.

As the saying goes, it is necessary to be a good watch, but also to set up a memorial arch.

When dealing with guests, she will also show the grievances and helplessness she deserves, but after all, she bows her head and does things......

This set really makes many people like it.

It's just that Jin Yue didn't expect that the big-headed young man in front of him was generous, and the price was five hundred taels of silver, but he would be so anxious that he began to move his hands and feet under the corridor.

As Jin Yue, he was supposed to sit in the boudoir and serve the guests......

In this way, everyone only said that this big-headed young man was deliberately humiliating people.

The appearance of the golden moon girl smiling is even more pitiful......

"Uncle, why don't you let Jin Yue play a flute with you?"

Seeing that the big-headed young man was eating hard, but one hand lingered on her, Jin Yue said with a smile of shame and indignation.

The big-headed young man was stunned when he heard this, spit out the chicken bones in his mouth, looked at Jin Yue in a daze, looked left and right, and finally looked down at the crotch of his pants, and said suspiciously: "Here?" Not really, right? ”

Jin Yue almost vomited a mouthful of her aunt's blood, gritted her teeth and said, "It's playing Xiao music!" ”

When the big-headed young man heard this, he was very sorry, and then shook his head and said: "It's better to watch the drama than to listen to that stubbornness, heart and liver baby, you don't know, uncle, I love to watch dramas like "Sun Xingzhi Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" and "Jiang Ziya Beheading the Gods". It's a pity that you don't have one on board, otherwise I'll show you a single order. ”

Jin Yue: "......"

The old lady singled out your father to make trouble in the heavenly palace, and watched your mother kill the ghost, and seal you a big-headed ghost!

After scolding in his heart, Jin Yueqiang smiled and took the hand of the big-headed ghost away from between his legs, and begged: "Uncle, let's go into the house......"

Who knew that this big-headed ghost shook his head like a rattle, and said: "When I came down from the capital, I was almost crazy in the house, what did I do when I entered the house?" Don't go, don't go! ”

His mother was afraid that he would come, so she did the same, and specially chartered a boat to send him south, which made him miserable!

With such a lively temperament, he almost didn't suffocate him!

Right now, the Elysian Demon Dance is being staged in the lobby on the next floor, and the dance is really charming.

It's the best bite of this big-headed boy!

Where will I go back to the house now......

Seeing the excitement, the angry hand forcibly slipped in again......

But I didn't want to, but I annoyed a half-grown teenager on the opposite side of the third floor.

This half-grown boy was originally a child of a famous family in Yangzhou, and his family education was strict, but at the age of twelve or thirteen, he should not have appeared here.

It's just that he is naughty by nature, and when he heard someone talk about the good of the Pearl Pavilion's top brand Jin Yue, he moved his mind.

Knowing that the Pearl Pavilion was going to stage the Heavenly Demon Dance tonight, I finally saved up enough two hundred taels, so I wanted to take the opportunity to come and see and understand, and by the way, I would achieve good things with Jin Yue, and I would go back and brag with others, I didn't want this Golden Moon Oiran to be robbed by a pig's head for five hundred taels of silver tonight.

Although his family is a wealthy family in the world, it is impossible to give too much monthly silver to the underage children of the clan. These two hundred taels have already been saved by the teenager by frugality.

If you can't see it out of sight and don't worry about it, it's okay, but the pig's head actually pulled Jin Yue to sit under the corridor on the third floor, watching the Heavenly Demon Dance from a high position, eating like a pig, not to mention, one hand has become the hand of An Lushan!

Looking at the innocent-faced Jin Yue squirming and struggling, his eyes full of pity, the half-grown boy just thought that this innocent girl was bullied by the pig-headed scoundrel, and the fire that was already holding back in his heart became more and more violent, he casually picked up a silver tray containing melons and fruits, and then walked around the corridor to the opposite side, without saying a word, while the pig's head was looking up and laughing, a tray smashed into the pig's face......

"Boom!!"

……

Bright Moon upstairs.

Jia Qiang looked at Xu Zhen speechlessly and said, "Fangzi, the Xu family wants Fangzi, I'll give it to you, do you dare to take over?" Can your Xu family keep this recipe? ”

Xu Zhen was even more speechless than Jia Qiang, and said bitterly: "Second Master Qiang, according to your old meaning, my Xu family bought back the Feng family's ice cellar, and not only the Feng family's ice cellar will be given to you, but even my Xu family's ice cellar must be handed over?" Second master, you didn't have a penny, so you gave the ice cellar of Yangzhou Mansion to Bao Yuan'er? How can there be such a truth in the world! ”

Jia Qiang hated that iron could not become steel and said: "I just praised you for being a rare talent, but now it will be a rat's eye again!" You only see the ice cellar in my hands, but you can't see that the ice produced can sell well, and the profits you get from the Xu family are several times that of before? ”

Xu Zhen smacked his lips and said, "Although Yangzhou Mansion is not small, if you want to say how big it is, it will not be enough." There aren't too many people who actually use ice. Second Master Qiang, you ......"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It's not simple, reduce the price." Nowadays, ice is too expensive, a piece of ice in shakufive costs fifteen taels, and a bowl of ice is nearly thirty yuan, which is too expensive, even ordinary rich people can't afford it. Drop the price three times, with the wealth of Yangzhou, you will definitely earn a lot! ”

Xu Zhen was moved when he heard this, his eyes rolled, and he still shook his head and said: "Second Master Qiang, it stands to reason that what you said is good, but Fang Zi is not in his hand, even the ice cellar must be handed over, and the lifeblood of the Xu family is in your hands. Even if I agreed, my old man and my eldest brother would not agree! ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said lightly: "Xu Zhongluan, I don't force this matter. The reason why I am looking for your Xu family to cooperate is only because in the plum garden, I saw that you performed well and did not seem to be mediocre. In addition, the Xu family already runs the ice house, so they thought about it, don't bother the two masters. But if the Xu family is not sincere, then forget it. If buying and selling is not benevolent, let's drink. ”

When he said this, Xu Zhen became even more distressed, crying and laughing: "Second master, second ancestor!" If you really have such a recipe in your hand, and then cooperate with others to reduce the price and sell ice, my Xu family still has no way to live! Spare more, spare more...... Spare me a little more, I'd better go home and convince those old stubborns, right? Second Master Qiang is from a big family in the capital, so he can better understand my difficulties. Just beware of being distressed, distressed ......"

Seeing Xu Zhen say this with a shy face, Jia Qiang warned in disgust: "Put away your commotion quickly, or I will kick you off the boat!" What's wrong? ”

Xu Zhen smiled and smiled embarrassedly: "I saw that Second Master Qiang was not interested in such a beautiful Oiran, and I thought it was ......."

Seeing that Jia Qiang's face was getting darker, he hurriedly said seriously: "Second Master Qiang, I'll be honest, I really want to work with someone like you, Second Master." But the condition given by the second master is absolutely unacceptable to the adults in my family, please ......"

Jia Qiang waved her hand to interrupt Xu Zhen's words, looked at him and said, "You can tell your family that the ice house will not only operate in Yangzhou Mansion for a living. Jinling, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Zhenjiang...... All the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River will be spread! ”

When Xu Zhen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Second Master Qiang, in the ice houses in these places, the Xu family can also participate in the shares?" ”

It is absolutely impossible for the Xu family itself to dominate the ice house in these places, and it is difficult for the strong dragon to suppress the ground snake.

What's more, compared with the local snakes in various places, the Xu family is not a strong dragon.

But Jia Qiang can, Jinling is the old camp of the four major families, and there are old ones in other places.

In addition, as long as the Zhen family says a word, Jia Qiang can simply go flat in these places.

If you can bring the Xu family with you, then the Xu family can immediately become a township and sublimate into a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River!

It's a pity that Jia Qiang is not a fool, and sneered: "What do you want to do?" At least, not now. ”

Xu Zhen was greatly disappointed, so he heard Jia Qiang say again: "However, I can consider you coming forward to support this mess." ”

When Xu Zhen heard this, his face froze, and there was no longer any frivolity on his face, his heart was pounding, and he looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Second Master Qiang, what are you talking ......about?"

Jia Qiang didn't bend around again, looked at him sideways and said: "Except for Fang Zi's palm in my hand and the secret ingredients are matched by my people, all the rest of the processes, including ice making, ice storage, and ice extraction, are in charge of a series of processes." Do it step by step, Yangzhou Mansion is cooked, and you will go to Jinling Mansion. When Jinling Mansion is cooked, I will go to Suzhou Mansion. If you do things well, you have your own future. Don't worry that one day I will change the hexagram, because if I really break off the cooperation, I will also lose a lot. ”

When Xu Zhen heard this, his face changed again and again, Jia Qiang gave him time, and said: "Of course you can't make the decision on this matter, you can go home and discuss it with your family, and in three days, I will get an answer." Or, do as I say. Or, I will use the ice cellar, ice room and manpower left by the Feng family and make it myself. It's just that at that time, don't blame me for not leaving your Xu family to live. ”

The cold sweat on Xu Zhen's forehead flowed down, the situation was stronger than people, and when he met such a person, he was full of scheming and had nowhere to go, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Dare to ask Second Master Qiang, how to divide shares?" ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, but just as he was about to answer, he suddenly frowned and turned his head to look out the window......

Strange, how can the screams from outside be so familiar?
