() At this time, Yangzhou City is in October, and it is a good time to go to the hot and dry.

There is a shop selling herbal tea on the side of the road, Xue Tan came to Yangzhou, thinking that he had nothing to do when he went back, and there was no way to contact the helper mentioned by the sixth elder brother for the time being, so it was better to sit for a while, and when the scorching sun at noon passed, it would not be too late to go back to the heat left on his body.

Xue Tan smiled and asked someone to clean up the table, ordered herbal tea, and greeted the miscellaneous people, wanting to inquire if there was any place to go in Yangzhou City.

Qinglou is the most complicated place for the flow of people, and it is easier to find out the news, which Xue Tan knows better than anyone else.

"Little brother, do you know, in this Yangzhou City, what are the best girls? I have long heard that there is a talented woman in Yangzhou City, and she is very good at the piano. ”

When I was in the capital, I couldn't feel this kind of pain, but now when I arrived in Yangzhou City, I found that the things around me had already changed over time, and I was deeply touched by it.

"Oh, you're talking about the Kaichun Temple, right?"

"Kaiharuin? What is Kaichun-in? Xue Tan frowned and asked.

"It's also interesting to say, that Haichun Courtyard turned out to be an unknown place. It so happened that on that day, a man was drunk there, and he was caught by several turtle men, but he found that this man was penniless and was about to be beaten, and the man suddenly laughed, saying that they would not be able to do business, and they would inevitably decline. The old bustard was in a hurry, so let the man have a name, and let him go, otherwise he would be pressed here, and wash the lady's underwear day and night. ”

"In order to humiliate that person, that person really dared to shout, shouting and waiting with pen and ink, the old bustard thought that he was so powerful that he could report to the official if he was a big deal, and he was afraid that he would run away? So I called the little ladies and officials in the building, and wanted to see this person's jokes, which Cheng thought, that person is really a little capable, and wrote a line of poems with a few pens. ”

"The cursive script is wild and uninhibited, flowing clouds and water, the old bustard saw this, and hurriedly ordered someone to wait, and took the three words of Haichun Courtyard from that poem, and made the sign of the brothel, and the cursive script is still hanging in that Haichun Courtyard."

Xue Tan listened to this and pondered, it seems that this "Haichun Courtyard" is naturally going to go, if he doesn't go, I'm afraid he will miss a lot of news.

Seeing that Xue Tan was excited to listen, the little second also put down the rag in his hand and sat down to talk carefully.

"It's strange to say, since that person came, the business of Haichun Courtyard has been getting better day by day, and the door is like a market, all think that there is something hidden in this Haichun Courtyard, and want to come and take a look, which Cheng thinks, or that batch of goods, but they are here, and they have to appreciate the handwriting of that person,

Talk to comfort yourself. ”

"After a while, people's curiosity faded, and no one came, but I don't know when, suddenly a woman came, with a white veil on her face, only revealing a pair of willow leaf curved eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, hey, you don't know how charming it is, but ah, the little one just heard, how can I have such a blessing, go and take a look."

When the shopkeeper said this, he swallowed his saliva, and then said: "That kind of beauty, people think that they are here to find their husband who has lost his conscience and abandoned his home. ”

"If that person really came for money, wouldn't he have to sing songs day and night, and make enough money early to leave such a sad place? She didn't, she only saw one guest in seven days, and the old bustard was red-eyed, and he didn't dare to offend her, so he had to agree to her request. ”

"Half of the people who came came looking for her, and she took a peek, and if she saw someone with a pleasing face, she would be able to get this honor, if not, the old bustard would not be able to make money, and she would not be able to, so she would be thrown out. Do you think this person is to blame? ”

"If the guest officer wants to go, I will show you the way, don't let the old bustard who lost his conscience deceive, she saw that although there were many people, she couldn't make any money if she didn't see it, so she secretly neutralized the rules, if you want to see this girl, you paid the money first, and it should be the registration fee, five taels of silver!"

"That person is really vicious, if the girl is gone, the money will not be returned, when it is the tea fee, you can not be fooled, I heard a method, saying that every night, the girl will come out to the backyard to enjoy the moon, you have been going since then, lucky, caught up, can witness the demeanor of such a fairy, it is enough."

Xue Tan smiled, he also had a certain number in his heart, and after thanking the little brother, he rewarded some silver taels, and then prepared to go to the "Haichun Courtyard" to take a look.

After Xue Tan arrived in Yangzhou, he sat in a shady place on the side of the road to eat tea, and asked about the strange things he had heard by the way.

"You, from our side, after this street, there is an autumn water bridge in front, the autumn water bridge has passed, go west, walk twenty or thirty zhang away, you turn east again, enter the East Street Hutong, the alley mouth goes out, and the opposite side is the Haichun Courtyard."

Xue Tan remembered what the little brother had just said, and followed the route he gave, and after a while, he was sweating profusely, it was still too hot at noon, and he had to stop to rest, so he was naturally panting.

Just as he was resting in the shade, there was a strange fragrance around him, which was intoxicating and fragrant, and Xue Tan hurriedly looked up and saw only a figure

The beautiful woman, wearing a long muslin skirt, a blue waist, and a white cloth like a moon, walked in front of her, and disappeared into the alley in a blink of an eye.

Xue Tan hurriedly caught up, secretly rejoicing in his heart, could it be that he was really lucky to see the legendary "Daji is alive"?

When he really followed, the man had already entered a place, and when he looked up, he saw a black gold plaque with three big characters engraved on it: Haichun Courtyard.

It is said that this Yangzhou city is ten miles of fragrance, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, this place, even the peony is overshadowed, in addition to the taste of the soul, the magnificent pavilion also makes people overwhelmed, noisy, laughter, pushing the cup to change the lamp, the crisp sound of the dishes hitting together.

and the lady's gentle lark-like voice, the melodious chorus of the piano and the chorus are mixed together, which makes this chaotic market, but like a paradise, happy and happy, drunk and dreaming of death.

Xue Tan was about to go inside, but several ladies hurriedly stopped him, she paused, and was intercepted outside the door, and the lady hid her face and sneered.

"Yo, Childe, you don't look like you're here to have fun."

After saying that, several people glanced at each other, with shameful smiles and sarcasm on their expressions. "Otherwise, are you here to sell yourself as a turtle man? By the way, delusional to catch a glimpse of our sister's demeanor? We can say that if we come in again, we will not be able to eat and walk around, and we will be very unlucky! ”

As he spoke, he also lengthened his tone together, and entered the room with a smile to greet other guests, Xue Tan took a look, and there were all luxuriously dressed people, glamorous, drinking and laughing.

Looking down at himself again, the clothes he bought before leaving were too ostentatious, so in the morning, he changed into the rag green shirt he specially bought to wear, but it was also a little shabby, if it weren't for these people to remind him, he hadn't seen his gray face, and the beggar on the street was not much different.

He also knew that this Qinglou was the most powerful, even more powerful than the officialdom, and he had to watch from outside the door, this business was thriving day by day, and it also got a new table, it was not the narrow shop that Xiao Er said in his mouth, and now the Haichun Courtyard is very magnificent, more than the capital, and it is even better.

In front of the main entrance is a small poem written by the man when he was drunk:

The hibiscus sleeps in the subtlety, and there is no old chord in the pavilion.

The sound of insects is broken, the thin shirt is dry, and the gauze curtain is tired.

Listening to the light water outside the city, he was dumb and speechless.

When the words reach the desolate place, the desire to speak is stopped, and the withered flowers provoke who pity.

If there is no crescent moon on the sea, the spring of the river will be exhausted, and the long courtyard will be few and difficult to sleep.
