Chapter 5: The family is poor and takes his leave

"Young Master, are we going directly to Dangyang Academy? Liu Song, a scholar who has followed Liu Mingzhi since he was a child, carried a small book basket on his back and asked Liu Mingzhi with great interest.

Liu Mingzhi looked left and right, didn't pay attention to his scholar, he was so excited to study when he was sick, and his brain was still shrinking.

The streets of Jinling City are full of cars and crowds. The land south of the Yangtze River has always had the title of the land of fish and rice, and Jinling is the leader of the land of the south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Mingzhi nominally saw Jinling for the first time in another world, and the cries of the peddlers and pawns on the street were so beautiful, and the streets were full of all kinds of small stalls, which were so novel, and the stalls were selling all kinds of strange playthings.

"This young master, come and see, these things are all precious jewelry trafficked from Jingshi, even the concubines and princesses in the palace like it very much, young master, buy one, buy one for the lady, the hawker is laboriously boasting about his goods."

Liu Mingzhi took a hosta hairpin in his hand and looked at it, the hosta was obviously an inferior jade polished hairpin, without a round and transparent texture, Liu Mingzhi smiled: "If the concubines of the palace really use jewelry of this quality, the royal family will not be worthy of the title of royal." ”

"Young master, buy one, buy one and give it to the lady." The peddler looked at Liu Mingzhi's somewhat moved appearance and pouted softly.

Liu Mingzhi became interested: "Oh? Buy one and give it to the lady? Seriously? ”

The peddler was stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that the rich boy in front of him didn't play cards according to the routine.

"This young master doesn't want to make a joke about the villain, the villain means to buy a hairpin for his own lady."

"Wrap it up."

When Liu Mingzhi saw the appearance of the vendor, he didn't bother to joke with him, an ordinary hairpin was not worth a few dollars.

The vendor smiled: "The young master is happy, the villain must find the best jewelry box for you to wrap, young master, you wait." ”

"Wait." Liu Mingzhi's expression was fixed in a place in the stall, a wooden hairpin was stunned, the wooden hairpin was not brilliant, it can be said that it is ordinary and inconspicuous.

Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and pointed to the wooden hairpin in the corner: "Boss, don't want that hosta, replace it with that wooden hairpin." ”

The hawker looked at the two hairpins with some embarrassment, no matter how bad the jade quality of the hosta was, it was stained with a jade character, which was worth a few dollars of silver, and the wooden hairpin was ten cents the price of the sky, and the hawker knew better than anyone how big the profit gap in the middle was, and he was a little reluctant to hear that Liu Mingzhi wanted to exchange for the goods.

"That wooden hairpin will be calculated according to the price of the hosta, let's wrap it."

"The young master is really kind-hearted, compared to the eldest prince of the willow peel, the young master, you are really the most conscientious young master in the world."

"Bold, I actually called my young master Liu Papi in private, I think you don't want to mess around in the realm of Jinling." Liu Song suddenly became furious, pointing at the peddler and throwing a temper.

Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly, looking at Liu Song with some unhappiness, and didn't understand how Liu Song could suddenly become such an arrogant appearance of a villain: "Xiao Song, what are you going to do?" Don't apologize to the boss quickly. ”

Liu Song looked aggrievedly at his own young master who was angry at him: "Young master, the willow peel that this guy said is you, young master, Xiao Song is angry for you, young master!" ”

Liu Mingzhi pointed at himself incredulously, and then stared at the hawker tightly: "Me? Willow peel? ”

The peddler also looked at Liu Mingzhi in amazement: "Young master, you are Liu Mingzhi, the eldest son of Liuyuan's family?" ”

"If there is no second eldest prince outside Liuyuan, I think I will be that Liu Mingzhi." Liu Mingzhi said sympathetically.

The peddler trembled, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Liu Gongzi is gracious, it's all small nonsense, please forgive Liu Gongzi, the villain begs you." ”

Liu Mingzhi was stunned at first, then frowned, stared at the kneeling vendor tightly, and raised his hand to pull the wooden hairpin in the vendor's hand: "Xiao Song, give the money and leave." ”

Liu Song looked at Liu Mingzhi incredulously: "Young Master, this guy ruined your reputation in private, and you let him go so easily?" ”

"What else can I do? Drag him to the officer? Give the money and leave, just clear the money and goods. ”

Liu Song glared at the vendor kneeling on the ground unwillingly, then took out a piece of broken silver and threw it on the ground, following Liu Mingzhi, who had already walked away.

The peddler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead for the rest of his life, and then looked at the broken silver in his hand as if it were something rare.

"Komatsu."

"Young Master?"

Liu Mingzhi listened to the vendors who cursed him, pointed at the crowd and asked, "Did the master really tease the women of good families, beat and scold the elderly, robbed the children's snacks, and kicked through the widow's door as they said before?" ”

"Young Master, don't you know what you look like?" Liu Song wondered how his young master could ask such a strange question.

"It's been too long to remember clearly, help the young master review it."

"Young master, in fact, you are not a gentleman at all, they say that you beat and scold the old man because they don't know that the old thing is disrespectful to the old, stop the young master, you forcibly extort the young master for your silver, you rob the children's snacks because you see the children's snacks stained with dirty things, and want to help the children throw away to prevent them from eating bad stomachs, relying on the status of the richest man in Jiangnan, the young master can't eat anything he wants, and he uses to grab the children's snacks, these fools will spread the rumors."

"What's the matter with molesting a woman from a good family and kicking the widow's door?"

"Young master, you returned from the march in Bingzhou a year ago, and saw a woman on the outskirts of the city who was going to kill herself, so she kicked open the door of her house and saved this woman, but this woman is a widow who has died of her husband, as the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, young master, when you kicked the door, you were seen by a passing scholar, and it was spread out.

As for molesting women from good families, it is even more false, young master, every time you go to these famous green buildings in the Yanyu Pavilion, those beautiful women in the green houses are like flies around them, and the young master can't get rid of them if he wants to, and he still needs to flirt with the women of good families? Young master, you are nineteen years old and have not yet married a family, how many women are flocking to you in order to have a little intersection with you, anyway, what they say has nothing to do with you, young master.

Liu Mingzhi's face was unhappy: "You said that they surrounded me like flies, they were scolding me for." ”

Liu Song's face turned dark when he heard this, why is the young master's brain circuit so strange, why is the focus so different, and hurriedly shook his head: "Young master, Xiao Song dares to swear to the sky, Xiao Song definitely doesn't mean this." ”

Liu Mingzhi said lightly: "Then you send it, the young master looks at it." ”

Liu Song looked at the young master who asked him to start your performance in a daze, and scratched his hair anxiously, as if he was thinking about what I should do again.

Liu Mingzhi suddenly remembered that his predecessor actually died on the woman's belly, and asked curiously: "Xiao Song, do you say that the young master is lustful?" ”

"That guy is just in the middle of the sex...... Feeling.... Master of love, young master, you were born handsome, and the master has thousands of family wealth, and the young master has not yet married a wife, so it is natural to be a little suave. Liu Song stammered.

Liu Mingzhi sneered lightly twice, understanding that what his little scholar said was not necessarily true, but he did not force him to ask.

Gently smashed the folding fan in his hand: "Okay, since you said that it is reasonable to be suave, then let's go to the Yanyu Pavilion first and then turn around and rush to Dangyang Academy." ”

"Ah, young master, the master has instructed that Xiao Song must watch you arrive at the academy safely, you went out and turned around and entered the Qinglou prostitute, how can Xiao Song explain to the master."

Liu Mingzhi raised the folding fan in his hand and hit Liu Song's head heavily: "Fool, only God knows about this matter, you know it, I know, I don't say it, how can the old man know?" ”

"But, but Komatsu feels that this is a great trust from the master."

Liu Mingzhi paused word by word: "Entrust an egg, in a word, go or not?" ”

"Go, go, go, the young master will go when he says go, I will listen to the young master."

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, the girl who greeted them at the door saw Liu Mingzhi's master and servant from a distance. greeted him affectionately, "Young Master Liu, you haven't been to Yanyu Building for some days, but you think badly about the girls in our pavilion, and today you have to compensate for the injured hearts of the sisters." ”

Liu Mingzhi was not polite, his hands quietly stretched out to the buttocks of the two girls and patted them lightly: "Is it because my heart is hurt, or is there a lack of money to buy rouge gouache?" ”

The girl glanced at Liu Mingzhi charmingly, and her white jade fingers held up Liu Mingzhi's chin: "Young Master Liu, what do you say the slave family lacks?" ”

"It's all lacking, it's all lacking, today the master will compensate you well, make up for the soul, and make up for the rouge gouache, Xiao Song, take the silver."

Xiao Song pouted without speaking, took out two pieces of broken silver from the money bag and handed them to Liu Mingzhi.

"How about it, master, I am a miracle doctor, have you cured the heartache of your two sisters?"

The two girls put away the silver without a trace: "Young Master Liu's magic doctor, my sister and I's illness won't be cured soon." ”

Liu Mingzhi laughed twice, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "How can you solve your worries, only silver two, since the illness of the two of you has been cured, I heard that the girls in the Yanyu Building have excellent flute skills, how about the master want to see today?" ”

Before the two girls could speak, the old bustard of the Qinglou had already seen Liu Mingzhi from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him: "Isn't this Young Master Liu?" It's been a few days since you've been pampering our girl. ”

"Mother Wu is really joking, your rainy mansion is like a cloud of guests every day, what can I be considered to send Liu Mingzhi alone?"

"How can they compare to your identity as Prince Liu, to have your Lord Liu come to my Smoke and Rain Pavilion, it is a fortunate thing for my Smoke and Rain Pavilion to shine."

"Mother Wu, you are really good at talking, the master is happy to hear this."

The old bustard became excited now: "Young Master Liu is really happy today?" ”

"Happy, of course my lord is happy."

The old bustard turned around and exclaimed excitedly: "Everyone, all the expenses of the Yanyu Pavilion today are paid by Liu Gongzi. ”

Liu Mingzhi was stunned, what is it, pay the bill? I'll pay for it.

"Komatsu, did Childe say that I want to pay everyone today?"

Liu Song said timidly: "Childe, in the past, as long as you were happy, you would pay all the silver of everyone in the Yanyu Pavilion, but this time we only brought a hundred taels of silver when we went out." ”

"What's the matter, if you are happy, you will pay everyone, the old man's money is blowing in the wind? This loser's thing, how many soy milk fritters are there. ”

"Mother Wu, come here."

The old bustard twisted his plump body and came up: "What do you have to tell Young Master Liu?" How many girls do you want to accompany you? ”

"The master doesn't order any of them, and his family is poor, so he will say goodbye." After speaking, Liu Song, who was staring at the girl in the Qinglou, hurriedly walked out of the Yanyu Pavilion.

"What, I ordered ten girls to accompany me, and Liu Gongzi actually ran away?"

"I ordered two jars of bamboo leaves and green for fifty years."

The angry cries of the men came from the Smoke and Rain Pavilion.
