When night falls, the liveliness in Yangzhou city has just begun, and the carriages are interspersed with each street to approach the red-clothed alley, the streets on both sides of the red-clothed alley are brightly lit, and the lanterns on the road are like weaving, like a mighty and unquenchable fire.

The famous Baihualou is here, Baihualou has driven a series of Qinglou industries, on both sides of the Red Clothes Lane, there is a faint singing voice of soliciting guests in the brothel of a Qinglou, and there are many girls with an average posture who stand at the door to solicit guests, and from time to time someone goes in and out, which is very lively.

In the private room of Baihualou, Cao Wei's chopsticks were pulled on the plate, and he picked a piece of braised chicken wings and spread it on the white rice, slowly put it into his lips, chewed it carefully, tasted it, and then raised a glass of wine to Pan Fu. Pan Fu looked absent-minded, looking out the window from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone?

"Xiude, will Shen Qing really come?" Pan Fu asked with a frown.

Cao Wei looked leisurely, didn't seem to be worried, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I wrote on the invitation that it is related to the Shen family's business, and now it is a period of fierce competition for the position of the head of the family, and there are only a few Shen family heads who support Shen Qing, Shen Qing is very anxious, as long as there is a straw, he will naturally grab it hard, so I expect him to come to the banquet." ”

"And what if he doesn't come?"

Cao Wei sneered: "If he doesn't come, it means that this Shen Qing is a stupid person, and there is no need for a stupid person to cooperate......

While speaking, there was a knock on the door, Pan Fu's face was happy, and he hurriedly went over to open the door, sure enough, it was Shen Qing, the eldest young master of the Shen family's big house, Pan Fu greeted him into the room and invited him to the wine table.

I saw that Shen Qing was wearing a light cyan satin robe, his forehead was slightly raised, he had a short beard, his body was not tall and very thin, his eyes were small but bright, and he looked a little anxious, and he looked like he was in his thirties......

Shen Qing sat on the right side of the table, and when he saw Pan Fu sitting opposite, a handsome young man was on top, so he knew that this young man was the one in charge, and he didn't go around in circles, so he came up and asked, "Your Excellency's invitation said that it was related to the Shen family's business, I don't know what it means?" ”

Shen Qing's appearance made Cao Wei more determined in his heart, and slowly raised a glass of wine to Shen Qing, and said, "Brother Shen, don't worry, please drink a glass of wine first." ”

Shen Qinghu looked at Cao Wei suspiciously, picked up a glass of wine on the table in front of him, and drank it all, not worried that there would be additives such as "five steps to pour" in the wine, it can be seen that he is still too shallow in the world, and he doesn't know where he gets his confidence, so he can rest assured that someone's personality is disciplined, if Zhou Xinggongzi and Cao Wei drink, at least bring a silver needle to try the poison.

"Brother Shen, do you know what kind of wine this is?"

I don't know if Shen Qing is a wine-making family and has excellent skills, or if the reputation of Drunken Immortal Brewing is too great, Shen Qing said without hesitation: "This wine has a spicy taste and mellow aroma, so it should be a drunken immortal brew." ”

Cao Wei stroked his hand and smiled: "Brother Shen is worthy of coming from a winemaking family, yes, this is indeed a drunken immortal brew."

Oh, by the way, it was negligence below, and I haven't introduced it to Brother Shen yet, this fat and lovely member is Pan Fu, the big proprietor of Drunken Immortal Brewing, and Cao Wei Cao Xiude, who is praised as "handsome and handsome, handsome among people", and studied under the supervision of Yu Shimei Gongbo. ”

Cao Wei's joking words made Shen Qing's expression froze, and he arched his hand to Cao Wei and asked, "But Cao Wei and Cao Xiude of the "Dark Fragrance Floating Moon Dusk"? ”

"I'm ashamed to say that it's just two poems, which made Brother Shen laugh." Cao Wei arched his hand, and there was no shame on his face.

"I have long admired the name of Brother Cao, and even I have copied more than one of my two Yongmei poems, and its artistic conception is far-reaching, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and Brother Cao is worthy of being the handsome man of Suzhou Mansion.

It's just that Brother Cao didn't invite me here this time not only to drink, but also to comment on poetry and lyrics, right? Shen Qing looked at Cao Wei and said lightly, Cao Wei himself is not worthy of Shen Qing's attention even if his poetry is good, but the Mei Yushi behind Cao Wei is weighty.

Cao Wei's expression was indifferent, he raised another glass of wine, looked at Shen Qing and said, "Brother Shen, your brother Shen Yun and Shen Gongzi are seeking drunken immortal brewing, I don't know if Brother Shen knows?" If Shen Yun really obtained the Drunken Immortal Brew, then ......"

Shen Qing's expression was straight, and then he was relieved, and he also raised a glass of wine, and said casually: "I don't know about it, but Brother Shen has opened up a foundation for my Shen family, and the blessing of the Shen family is also." ”

Cao Wei sneered and said: "I'm afraid it's not Brother Shen's wealth, if Shen Yun gets the Drunken Immortal Brew, then this handover of the head of the Shen family, I'm afraid there will be nothing to do with Brother Shen." ”

Shen Qing's face changed, and then he smiled bitterly and said to Cao Wei: "Since Brother Cao knows everything, it makes people laugh if he conceals it later, why does Brother Cao teach me?" ”

Cao Wei secretly scolded hypocrisy, the Shen family's infighting was something that the children on the street knew about, but Shen Qing allowed himself to pierce this window paper.

"Brother Shen may not know that the owner of Drunken Immortal Brewing is not only me, Brother Pan, but also the eunuch Huang Gonggong of Yangzhou Mansion. Since Shen Yun dares to move the drunken immortal brew, he will definitely be suppressed by several parties, what Brother Shen needs to do is to unite the head of the family in the agreement of the head of the Shen family and pull Shen Yun down, presumably the neutral faction of the Shen family will definitely fall to Brother Shen when they hear that Shen Yun has provoked so many forces. ”

Listening to Cao Wei's eloquent talk, Shen Qing also knew that this was an opportunity for himself. Supervising the imperial history and guarding the eunuchs, which one is not the one who stomped his feet and made Suzhou Mansion shake, I'm afraid Shen Yun himself doesn't know what kind of existence he provoked.

So Shen Qing got up and bowed to Cao Wei, and said with a serious expression: "If this can be done, I, Shen Qing, will make Brother Cao a brother, and become the head of the Shen family in the future, and the Shen family will also have one more friend of Brother Cao." ”

Cao Wei got up and returned the salute and said, "I still hope that Brother Shen will remember today's words, Brother Shen regards Cao Wei as a brother, and he will repay him a hundred times." ”

Shen Qing bowed to Cao Wei again, turned around and left the private room, you can't say too much about thanks, otherwise the taste will be different, no matter how much you say, it's better to do it!

Pan Fu's face was full of doubts, and he asked, "Xiude, when did Gonggong Huang become the owner of Drunken Immortal Brew?" ”

"Not yet, just wait for the meeting, I also invited Huang Gonggong, look at the time, and I'll come over later."

"You invited a eunuch to go up to the Qinglou?" Pan Fu looked frightened, pointed his finger at Cao Wei and asked sharply.

Cao Wei said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with the eunuch?" Do eunuchs have no human rights? ”

"You asked a eunuch to go up to the Qinglou?" Pan Fu muttered to himself, obviously unable to believe that Cao Wei did this, after all, this was an insult to a eunuch, especially since the other party was still a eunuch.

"This is not an ordinary eunuch, this is a town guard eunuch, a senior eunuch!"

"You invite a eunuch to go up to the Qinglou......"
