The evening breeze blows the ripples of the lake.

A bright moon in the sky is reflected on the surface of the lake, sometimes blurred and sometimes clear against the rippling water, as if you are in a dream.

In this beautiful scenery like a fairyland on earth, in the middle of the lake, a huge double-decker painting boat is quietly moored there, and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo music continues to come from the painting boat.

"Master Hou! This ship is bigger than the one we sat on! ”

On the terrace on the second floor of the painting boat, a stunned man dressed as a small man was looking at the big boat under him, and he couldn't stop admiring it.

"Nonsense!" Beside the stunned man, Xiao Han was looking up at the bright moon in the sky in a daze, and when he heard the words, he turned his head and glared at the stunned man and said, "This is the largest painting boat in the entire Yangzhou City!" Can it not be big? ”

"The biggest, no wonder ......"

The stunned man scratched his head embarrassedly, and then suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou!" This ship is so beautiful, you say that if we take it back to Chang'an, will we envy others? ”

When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Will you envy others and dare not say it, but drown you in the middle of it, this is certain!" ”

Sometimes, Xiao Han really admires the brains of this guy!

I don't know if it's a big toy that floats? Still thinking about driving it back to Chang'an?

Not to mention entering the Yellow River all the way, even if it is in the canal, if you are unlucky and encounter a little wind and waves, the capsizing boat is also said to be overturned, and when the time comes, the people on this painting boat will not be able to run.

Not wanting to pay attention to this tenacious guy, Xiao Han sighed, slowly returned to the cabin, and then lifted a corner curtain leading downstairs to look at the situation below.

On the first floor of the painting boat is a huge room.

In the center of the room, a group of dancing girls were dancing hard, sweating through their colorful clothes, sticking to their bodies, outlining a moving figure.

"Ahem, I can't watch it, at least not tonight......"

Not daring to delay the business, Xiao Han took his eyes off the dancing girl with great perseverance, and then looked around, only to find that in the hall on the first floor, there were really many people who had the same "hobbies" as him!

Phew, these shameless people!

Of course, there are so many people here, and not all of them are perverts, at least some of them pretend to be the same as decent men and gentlemen, just talking to each other, occasionally glancing at each other.

After his eyes turned around the hall and focused on contempt for those hypocrites, Xiao Han withdrew his gaze, took a step back, and sat lazily in his chair, waiting for the start of tonight's show.

————

As the nominal host of tonight's banquet, Steward Xue was standing at the bow of the ship with a spring breeze on his face at this time, greeting the wealthy businessmen and giants who boarded the ship from afar, with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

"Boss Zhang? Hurry up, hurry up, inside please! Today I have specially prepared my favorite Mingqian tea for you, which is brewed with spring water from the West Mountain! ”

"Boss Liu! Hahahaha! I haven't been to your place in a while, what's new on the dock lately? ”

"Nonsense! Poorly cared for, poorly cared for......"

greeted these friends from the business circle on weekdays one by one to the boat, and before Steward Xue could find a place to sit down and breathe a sigh of relief, after a crisp silver bell, another boat came on the lake.

"Shopkeeper Yin? Oops, you can come, it's really fluffy, fluffy! Ziyi, come here, this is the big shopkeeper of Yangzhou cloth shop! ”

Standing up straight, with the faint light of the lantern next to the boat, Steward Xue recognized the person at a glance, it was the big shopkeeper of Yangzhou Cloth Company! Surprised, he hurriedly called out to Ziyi to greet him.

"Come, come! Reach over! Tied tightly! Shopkeeper Yin, be careful, let people help you over! Steward Xue nervously commanded the boat to come over, for fear of falling into the shopkeeper of the cloth shop.

However, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop looks quite old, but his legs and feet are still very flexible.

didn't need the boatman's support, he boarded the painting boat from the boat in a few steps, and then smiled and bowed his hand to Steward Xue and Ziyi: "Steward Xue is too polite!" It's too late tonight, rude, rude! ”

Seeing this, Steward Xue hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare!" Yin's shopkeeper has a lot of affairs, and being able to come here is already enough for Xue to save face! Where dare to ask for something?. ”

"Haha......" The shopkeeper of the cloth shop laughed when he heard this, turned around and waved to the boat when he came, and then said: "Forgive the shopkeeper Xue, these two are the nephews and nephews and daughters-in-law of the old man, and they have to follow the old man to see the world, hey, I'm causing you trouble......

"No trouble! No hassle! What did the big shopkeeper say?! ”

Steward Xue turned his face blank, as if complaining that the shopkeeper of the cloth store was too polite! waited until the other party smiled, then laughed, and then stretched out his hand himself, wanting to pull the people on the boat to board the boat.

A pair of men and women on the boat stood up, the man was clear and handsome, and his temperament was extraordinary! And although the woman was covered with half of her face, just by looking at a pair of eyes, she knew that she was a stunning beauty.

It's just that after the two of them got up, they turned a blind eye to Steward Xue's outstretched hand, and with a light tiptoe, they fell on the painting boat like two butterflies.

Seeing the two of them behave, Steward Xue's eyes immediately froze, but he soon returned to his enthusiastic appearance at the beginning.

"Haha, the two of you are really talented and beautiful! When I see you, I suddenly feel old! By the way, this is our family's big shopkeeper in Chang'an, Ziyi! I just arrived in Yangzhou recently, and you are all young people, so you should get closer to each other. ”

Shaking the hand he just stretched out, Steward Xue's face did not look half embarrassed, he has been in business for many years, and this kind of faceless thing in the eyes of outsiders is really not worth mentioning in his eyes!

"Purple? Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! When the young man on the boat heard Steward Xue's explanation, his uninhibited smile paused, and then he put away the folding fan in his hand and casually waved it at her.

Ziyi smiled at the two gently, but did not return the salute at all, but simply and politely said, "Fortunately!" ”

"Huh?"

Seeing the purple clothes with needles in the cotton, the smile on the young man's face gradually solidified, but before he could attack, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop had already inserted between the two.

"Ahem, it's windy here, Xiao Yin, accompany me to take shelter from the wind." The shopkeeper coughed twice, pulled the sleeve of the young man's shirt, and pointed to the cabin of the painting boat.

"Yes, yes, it's too windy here, Shopkeeper Yin go inside and rest for a while!"

Shopkeeper Xue probably sensed something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly followed behind to play a round.

Seeing this, the young man had no choice but to glance at the purple clothes, and stretched out his hand to help the shopkeeper of the cloth shop to walk into the painting boat.

On the contrary, the masked wife beside him was quite kind, and first cast an apologetic look at Steward Xue and Ziyi, and then followed him into the painting boat.
