Entering the rivers and lakes for the first time Chapter 16 Xin Ya Ge
The calligraphy and painting jewels hidden in the flower stone gang are hidden in the hidden warehouse at the bottom of the transport ship.
During the previous robbery of Huashigang, two boats were smashed through the bottom of the boat by pointed logs, and countless jewels fell into the river. It is precisely because of this that the Manichaean people directly discovered the location of the jewelry, saving a lot of time.
At this time, in Jiangning City, Fang Baihua was listening to a sect member report on the harvest of this operation.
Listening to the exaggerated figures, Fang Baihua's heroic face became more and more gloomy. These dog officials, in the name of Huashigang, wantonly expropriated and extorted, and then used the looted money to open up all joints, and the officials protected each other and oppressed the people.
Just listening to the report, there was a sudden "crunch", and a young man pushed the door and walked in, it was Xu Ziling, who is now quite famous in Manichaeism.
Since Xu Ziling offered a plan and participated in the robbery of Huashi Gang, Fang Jie, who acted very aggressively, unintentionally spread it, which made many people in the sect full of good feelings towards him. After all, it was a capital crime for the Emperor Gang to be exposed, and Xu Ziling, as a dog-headed military advisor, would definitely be wiped out by the Nine Clans if he was discovered.
Seeing Xu Ziling come in, the sect member immediately stopped reporting. Xu Ziling didn't care, walked over and hugged Fang Baihua's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Baihua, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all kinds of Mid-Autumn Festival parties will be held along the Qinhuai River, how about you accompany me to take a look?"
Since Xu Ziling, who has made meritorious contributions, has robbed Huashigang, he sometimes makes some intimate moves with Fang Baihua. And Fang Baihua also accepted this "younger brother" and did not resist his actions, but also did not cater to him.
But I heard Fang Baihua say lightly: "Why don't you go to your brother who is the king of Guangping County?" With him as a companion, isn't it majestic? ”
Xu Ziling looked at her Gujing Wubo's eyes, and explained with a smile: "I am just playing with him, I can't afford to mess with him as the king of the county, so I can only follow his wishes, and now he has left Jiangning and returned to Bianliang."
Fang Baihua looked at the bill on the table and said softly: "You let Fang Jie go with you, I won't go, I don't like the noisy environment."
Xu Ziling sighed in disappointment and went out to find Fang Jie.
Seeing Xu Ziling leaving, the Manichaean sect looked at Fang Baihua and saw her nodding, so they continued to report.
Listening to this report again, Fang Baihua was a little distracted. It's not that she doesn't want to accompany Xu Ziling to the Mid-Autumn Festival party, nor does she dislike the noisy environment. Because she has things she has to do, there is no time to focus on these things that have no "meaning".
In fact, she also likes Xu Ziling, a young man who has been treating her very well for some reason. Xu Ziling treats her as a sister, why doesn't she want this smart and lively brother.
She is not a few years older than Fang Jie, but she is a generation older than him, and the things she has been exposed to since childhood are also a higher level. She knew how difficult it was for her brother or her family's plans to succeed.
With the world as an enemy, how many people have been successful since ancient times?
She also wants to have fun like Fang Jie and Xu Ziling, but she can't. She has been a strong person since she was a child, although she is free and easy by nature, she has a strong self-motivated heart and can resist great causes. It is precisely because of this that the elders of the family also like her very much, treat her very well, and give her a heavy responsibility, so that she has a transcendent position in the family.
When she learned of her family's plan, she instantly seemed to be a different person and became more and more mature. She also knew that she had to shoulder the fate of her entire family. Bearing such a heavy burden, even if you are free and easy, you can't get rid of it.
Because of her power and martial arts, the people around her, and even her nephew Fang Jie, all respected her. Only Xu Ziling made her feel some different kind of friendship, but she didn't have time to think about it, she needed to raise a lot of grain and grass to transport to Jiangnan to prepare for next year's plan.
In a daze, Fang Baihua listened to the report, then waved his hand, signaling the person to leave, and then fell into deep thought.
In the palace of Bianliang City, the emperor heard the news that Hua Shigang was robbed, but the escort team was almost undamaged, and he was really angry with Yang Zhi and others, and dismissed him from his post and investigated it. However, the absence of a portrait is just a piece of paper, and it has never served any purpose.
In the evening, on the streets along the Qinhuai River, Fang Jie put his arm on Xu Ziling's shoulder and introduced him to the most memorable place in Jiangning City.
Whenever night falls, the banks of the Qinhuai River become a beautiful scenery. All kinds of wine shops, tea gardens, green houses, inns compete for beauty. The colorful buildings and the clear moonlight reflected on the water surface of the Qinhuai River outline the scenery like a fairyland on earth.
This place of bright lights and wine has made many students who passed by here stay here forever when they enter Beijing to take the exam, obsessed with drunkenness.
Walking and walking, I came to a huge pavilion, but I saw that there were three big characters written above the main entrance: "Xin Yage".
Fang Jie put one hand on Xu Ziling's shoulder, and the other pointed to the plaque in front of him, and said to Xu Ziling with a smile: "Brother Xu, this is the best place in Jiangning City. Whether it is a self-proclaimed talented son or a hero on the rivers and lakes, when he arrives here, he walks in with his head held high, and walks out with his waist supported by the wall. ”
Saying that, he suddenly touched Xu Ziling's thigh, which made Xu Ziling couldn't help but tremble, and regardless of Xu Ziling's murderous eyes, Fang Jie said with a smile: "Looking at Brother Xu's appearance, he is still a chick." Today, my brother is the east, you just have to let go and play. ”
Xu Ziling took Fang Jie's hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't let Brother Fang break the bank, I don't like this kind of place very much, if you want to go in, just go in, I'll wander around this street for a while."
Fang Jie was unhappy when he heard this: "Brother, you will embarrass your brother." Such a good place, how can my brother enjoy himself here. If you want to be that noble person, and don't want to lose yourself to this dusty girl, then my brother will order a few clear people with you, listen to the music, and see how the dance is? ”
Seeing that Fang Jie was also kind, Xu Ziling no longer refused, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay to go in and have a look." Hearing this, Fang Jie laughed, and slowly walked into Xin Yage with Xu Ziling.
Entering the hall, the four-color hue makes people's eyes shine, and only the red, purple, yellow and green four buildings come into view. Xin Ya Ge one pavilion and four courtyards, corresponding to the four colors of red, purple, yellow and green, are in charge of the four stewards respectively. The four courtyards are Rosewood Garden, Crape Myrtle Garden, Spring Courtyard, and Green Calyx Garden. Among them, the "Green Calyx Garden" only has the Qingqi people, which is the most special.
There are four half-aged and many women in the hall. The half-aged in a red shirt saw Fang Jie and the two come in, her eyes lit up, and she greeted her: "Isn't this Young Master Fang?" You are a dead enemy, how many days have you not been here? Ping'er thinks that you don't think about tea and dinner? ”
Fang Jie smiled and teased: "Really? I heard that Ping'er's business is booming, and I can't close my legs, I'm afraid I have forgotten about it a long time ago. ”
The woman in red laughed and said, "Which sons and brothers, how can you have Young Master Fang, your ability is great, and it is only a matter of three or two teas." Ping'er really likes you. ”
Fang Jie laughed twice, pulled Xu Ziling over, and introduced the woman: "This Xu Gongzi, the first time you come here, you can find him a few Qingqier to sing and play, and let him smell the fragrance." Also, his expenses are all on my head. ”
The woman in red is also a person-like figure, where can she not understand Fang Jie's secret words, she glanced at Xu Ziling a few times, and said with a smile: "This son is not very old, so the slave family will find a few young girls for him, who are of the same age, and can enjoy themselves."
Fang Jie smiled secretly, patted Xu Ziling on the shoulder, and walked towards the red pavilion by himself.
Xu Ziling had never experienced this kind of battle, and looking at the cool dress and slightly aggressive eyes of those women, he suddenly felt a little untenable.
Seeing that Xu Ziling's face was standing still and not speaking, the woman in red smiled and said, "Young Master Xu, come with the slave family."
Xu Ziling nodded when he heard this, and followed her towards the green pavilion.
But I saw the woman in red whispering a few words next to a woman in green. The woman in green came over and said, "Young Master Xu, you are really lucky, we have a new Qingqi in the Green Calyx Garden, and we haven't received guests yet, so I am also right with you." Besides, how about calling two more girls with good singing voices with you? ”
Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "As long as the new one comes."
Seeing that he couldn't help but say something, the woman in green had to nod, took Xu Ziling up to the green attic, and entered a room, asking Xu Ziling to wait for a while.
Xu Ziling entered the house, and the surroundings were all green style, the screens, tables and chairs, and door curtains were all green, and even the cups on the table were green, the color was light and turbid, and they were all extremely exquisite, which made people feel like a spring breeze in it.
Sitting on the chair, Xu Ziling smelled a fragrance in the air, turned his head and looked, there was indeed an incense lit in the corner of the wall, its fragrance had a slight psychedelic effect, and it was a commonly used incense in Qinglou.
After waiting for a long time, I heard the door being slowly pushed open, and a graceful woman in green walked in with her head bowed while holding the qin.
The woman trembled slightly and saluted Xu Ziling, only then did she slowly raise her head and look at Xu Ziling, and found that he was a handsome young man who might be younger than herself, and her anxiety suddenly disappeared.
And Xu Ziling also saw her face, and she was also slightly stunned, with thin lips and beautiful nose, slightly drooping eyelashes, a pair of dark eyes, and a snow-white and delicate face, which was quite cute.
Seeing that the young man saw that he was not moving, the woman's snow-white face was covered with a touch of red, and she said softly: "Slave Qingzhu, first present a song for the son." With that, he turned around and walked behind the screen, ready to play the piano.
But I heard Xu Ziling say: "I just saw tears in the corners of the girl's eyes, could it be that she was coerced to come to this Xin Yage?"
The woman's hand, which was about to put on the strings, trembled slightly, and said softly, "The slave family is naturally voluntary." With that, he began to play, his jade-like fingers sliding over the strings, emitting a delicate note.
Although Xu Ziling didn't understand the rhythm, the sound of the piano was in his ears, which immediately made him clear and relaxed. Gradually, the distractions faded, and he just listened quietly to the woman's playing.
