Chapter 18: Younger Sister is Gentle

The raised eaves, the hanging tiles, the drizzle is like silk, and the hazy Jiangnan is stunning.

Step onto the bluestone paved streets and walk through the long alleys in the rainy season. People and cars come and go on the street, businessmen gather, bustling, shops on both sides, the goods in the shops are dazzling, on both sides of the street, the hawkers are endless, the drizzle is sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the prosperous Yangzhou city in front of you.

What a prosperous and picturesque Yangzhou city!

On the bluestone-paved streets, a man and a woman weave between the crowds of vendors. The girl was estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a costume, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and her immature face unabashedly revealing a naughty color. The man was wearing a cyan Confucian shirt, his appearance was handsome, and his bearing was extraordinary, looking at the girl who was constantly urging, his face was full of helplessness, but there was a deep doting color in his eyes.

"Senior brother, hurry up, hurry up, the temple fair of the City God Temple is going to end."

Cao Wei reluctantly agreed, and his pace increased slightly. This girl's name is Mei Qingrou, the only daughter of the teacher Mei Gongbo, she has been pampered since she was a child, but she has not developed a pampered temperament, she is usually extremely well-behaved, and she treats her subordinates gently and friendly.

Maybe it's because I've been alone, I'm overjoyed when Mei Qingrou knows that she has a senior brother, maybe because Cao Wei is a peer, Mei's gentle girlish nature is shown in front of Cao Wei, and she follows Cao Wei's ass every day, calling her brother sweetly, and Cao Wei has already regarded the innocent Mei Qingrou as her sister.

"Senior brother, is the wonton sold under the Chenghuang Temple in Qinyang County really so delicious? Is the clay figurine pinched on the riverside in the north of the city really look similar? What does the chicken in your hometown look like? Is the wife of Brother Pan Fu's family really that fierce..."

Looking at the girl who was constantly having problems in front of her, Cao Wei felt some pity in her heart, Mrs. Mei was frail and sickly, and Lord Mei was busy with official business, so the couple had no time to take care of her, Mei Qingrou began to be sensible at a very young age, took care of her own life, and even learned to take care of Mrs. Mei...

"Senior brother, Brother Pan Fu said that Xinghualou is the most interesting place in Qinyang County, can you take Qingrou to play if you have the opportunity?" Mei gently turned her face to look at Cao Wei, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

"......" Cao Wei was dumbfounded when he heard this, thinking that if the teacher knew that he had taken his baby daughter to visit the Qinglou, he would not have to strip himself naked and hang him up.

Hey? Why do you want to strip naked?

No matter what, such a danger must be nipped in the bud, so Cao Wei looked serious and said seriously: "Gentle, what Senior Brother wants to tell you now is very important, you have to remember that this world is never as beautiful as you think." You must not listen to Pan Fatzi's nonsense, Xinghualou is a very terrifying place, and the women in it have to endure countless beatings with sticks every day, and even be pricked with needles. And men have endless work to do every day, and life is better than death......"

"But Brother Pan Fu said that he wanted to die."

………………

The temple is located near the Baodai River and is open on the ninth and tenth days of every month.

It was only half noon, and the temple fair site was very lively, with lion dances, stilts, Yangge, dry boats, bamboo horses and other performances; A dazzling array of goods, dazzling and dizzying; The cries of selling one after another are endless; The smell of snacks in the nose is endless, and it goes away with the taste.

Cao Wei and Qingwen walked side by side on the street, and all kinds of acrobatic performances, delicious snacks, and mask clay figurines made Qingrou laugh. Gently holding Cao Wei's hand tightly, shuttling through the crowd of vendors, it seems that she will not pretend to be mature at this time, showing the innocence that cardamom should have.

Cao Wei looked at the girl in front of her, her smile was like a flower, she was cute, and she couldn't help but joke: "Gentle, there is a saying: If you have a beautiful smile, you will increase your longevity by half a pillar of incense." So in order to make your senior brother live a long life, you still have to smile more. ”

looked at Cao Wei softly and shyly, and before she could answer, she suddenly heard a voice say: "This statement is interesting, if I call a hundred beauties and smile at me every day, then wouldn't I be immortal?" ”

Cao Wei turned his head to look, and saw a tall young scholar holding a small gold-painted fan, looking at him with a smile. This little book grows extremely handsome, wearing a black robe, a brocade belt around his waist, and a brocade silk on his head.

There are two big men standing behind the little boy, with dark faces, wearing black business clothes, with their hands behind their backs, maintaining a look of not approaching people, at first glance, they are dangerous elements, if they are seen walking on the street today, they will call the police.

Cao Wei is a little unhappy, can he eavesdrop on others if he is handsome? If it weren't for the fact that you have two strong bodyguards, you would have to take a hundred taels of silver today......

Seeing that Cao Wei didn't speak, the young man looked at the gentleness standing next to him, his dark eyes rolled, and he suddenly said with a sly smile: "I understand, this brother Tai turned out to be casually made up, coaxing the girl next to him, presumably Brother Tai is a veteran in love." ”

The young man said softly, blushing, spitting him lightly, and secretly looked at Cao Wei's eyes, with some emotion in his eyes.

The young man clapped his hands and smiled: "I look at the beautiful scenery of the world, or the waves are magnificent, or quiet and elegant, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the smoke and willows paint the bridge, but how can it compare to the woman's long green silk hair and thin willow eyebrows." Life should be a big deal, go, I invite the two of you to go to Yuntianlou to drink. ”

looked at Cao Wei gently, waiting for him to make an idea, Cao Wei smiled faintly, and did not shirk, if there is a big wrong, please eat, or in Yuntianlou, which is famous for its expensive and high-end, he immediately made a gesture of please, and he will definitely be slaughtered today.

"Under the surname Cao Mingwei, the word Xiude, a person from Qinyang County, this is my junior sister gentle, and I haven't asked my son's name yet?"

"Under Xu Pengju, a person from Nanjing."

What? Xu Pengju? The son of Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, Zhengde inherited his father's title in the thirteenth year, garrisoning Nanjing and the governor's office of the Chinese army.

Cao Weiwei looked at Xu Pengju in surprise, this young man with pimples on his face, the more he looked at it, the lower his IQ became, he was actually the famous number one person in the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, hug his thighs first.

"Brother Xu Xian, have you considered finding someone to worship?" Cao Wei looked at Xu Peng with anticipation on his face.

Xu Pengju really couldn't keep up with Cao Wei's rhythm and asked, "Why is Brother Cao asking so much?" ”

"We hit it off at first sight, why don't we chop the chicken and burn the rice wine and worship the handle?"
