Chapter 428: Hollow Valley Orchid

Everyone is an acquaintance, Sun Lin was afraid that they would make too much trouble in front of Wang Yue, so he said: "When you come to Nanjing, you must appreciate the beautiful scenery of Qinhuai, then it is really worth the trip." ”

"Okay, just follow your words, go together, go together." Wang Yue is also a travel enthusiast, and the Qinhuai River is like thunder, so of course he wants to see it.

Since he wants to visit Qinhuai, women can't take it with him, and under the resentful gaze of the confidential secretary Li Xuezhu, Wang Yue was hugged out of the door by everyone.

In fact, Li Xuezhu didn't understand the true meaning of swimming in the Qinhuai River, she just blamed Wang Yue for not taking her with her.

Cross the bridge to the opposite bank is the red light district, because it is very close to Anbu as a car.

"Don't call me an adult for a while, you are brothers, and this official will be a junior." Wang Yue said to them.

Mao Xiang, Fang Yizhi and others all nodded yes.

According to the requirements of the Ming Dynasty for incumbent officials, it is not allowed to visit the Qinglou, although this article is useless, and it has no binding force on Wang Yue. But Wang Yue still thinks that it is better to be low-key and not public. So Wang Yue changed into casual clothes, the kind of film and television props, which are more fitting and simple than the costumes of people in this era. The entourage only brought Yue Shun and four other guards platoon soldiers, but they were still wearing military uniforms.

From Mao Xiang and others to the south bank of the Qinhuai River from the stone bridge, this street is built along the river, and is connected to the opposite street by stone bridges.

Shops, houses row upon row, the street is parallel to the water and land, the pattern of the river street is adjacent, the building is exquisite and elegant, sparse and elegant, the street shops are lined up, the guild hall gathers, the houses are mostly along the street at the front door, the back door is facing the river, and some have also built a special street crossing building, it is really a Zhulan floor, and the catkins are singing.

Boats laden with jasmine, white orchids and other goods come and go on the river, and boats pass by.

Wang Yue looked around, and many plaques could be seen everywhere with names such as "Yunliang Pavilion" and "Songzhu Pavilion", but there were no familiar names such as "Yihong Courtyard" and "Lichun Courtyard".

Wang Yue was a little confused and asked, "Didn't you say that all of them are Qinglou Chu Pavilions here?" ”

Mao Xiang smiled mysteriously and pointed to these plaques with elegant words, "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." These are all ah! ”

They continued to walk forward and came to the gate of a courtyard with the words "Mei Xianglou" (the former residence of Li Xiangjun) written on a plaque, and said to Wang Yue: "This is it, the girls of this family are all talented, and there are several famous people in Qin Huai." ”

Mei Xiang Lou is the place where the Fushe and others often meet, and the owner of the building, Li Zhenli, was also a famous prostitute when she was young, and she was righteous and bold, and had close contacts with the literati of the Fushe.

At this time, behind the courtyard of Meixianglou, on the bank of the Qinhuai River, a canopy boat had just docked. A boatman standing at the bow of the boat with thick hands and feet tied the canopy firmly to the stakes on the shore with a thick rope, and then turned to the canopy boat urn and said angrily: "Girl, it has arrived, please go ashore!" ”

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a twelve or thirteen-year-old maid dressed in Tsing Yi came out, and she propped up the curtain and shouted into the boat: "Miss, it's here!" ”

Then a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman came out of the boat, and saw her wearing a light purple halo gauze dress covering her body, with peonies carved on the placket, and colorful embroidery on her chest; Three thousand satin-like green silk are tied into a beauty bun, a pair of peony beads and seven crystal treasures are embellished on both sides, gold lace burnt blue and white jade silk flowers fall in between, and the pink skirt swaying with beautiful brilliance.

There is a peerless beauty, the orchid lives in the empty valley, the head of the mantis moth eyebrows, the skin is like condensation, this woman is beautiful, but the beauty is hazy, the facial features and figure are perfect and impeccable, but under the subtle corners of the eyes, there is a trace of sorrow.

Strictly speaking, she is not a regular Qinglou woman, because she has not gone through the formalities, that is, she has not sold the deed, and she belongs to the free stage lady.

Her original name was Dong Bai, her family was originally in Suzhou, running an embroidery village, her family was good, but there were unforeseen circumstances, when she was thirteen years old, her father suffered from dysentery in the summer, the medicine did not work, and soon died.

The mother was not good at management, so she handed over the embroidery village to the man to take care of, and the mother and daughter spent a sum of money to build a secluded room on the bank of the Bantang River and lived a secluded life.

Two years later, when my mother checked the account of the embroidery village, not only did she not have a tael of silver, but she also owed a large amount of debt outside. It was obvious that the guy was playing a ghost out of it, but the mother couldn't grasp it, she was angry and anxious, and finally fell ill in bed.

Mother fell, Xiuzhuang went bankrupt, debts weighed down, and the burden of life fell on Dong Bai, who was only fifteen years old, as if she had fallen from the clouds into an ice cellar, and she couldn't open her eyes for a while.

The huge debt can be delayed, but the mother's medical expenses are imminent. Since she was a child, she has developed a lonely and proud personality with her mother, where she is willing to borrow from others.

In a hurry, he made a decision, agreed to the recommendation of others, and came to the painting boat on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing to perform and change his name to Xiaowan.

came to Qin Huai to laugh in order to reduce the pressure on the family and repay the debt. Although because of his beautiful appearance, his otherworldly temperament quickly became famous in Qin Huai. But her self-pity, self-pitying and self-loving nature will be exposed from time to time to offend some guests.

"Yo, Xiao Wan is here, hurry upstairs, Xiangjun has been talking about you. Hengbo, Yujing, and Tuo Niang have also been waiting for a long time. Li Zhenli, the owner of Meixiang Building, greeted warmly. Dong Xiaowan does not live here, but lives in Qinglian Ju in Diaoyu Lane, because her idol is Li Bai, so she calls herself Qinglian.

Dong Xiaowan frowned and said, "Aunt Li, who is here this time?" If it's a vulgar person, I'll still go back. ”

Li Zhenli sighed and said, "Xiao Wan, you have to change your temperament, so when will you be able to pay off your debts?" Besides, the eldest lady has already promised to ask you to accompany her. ”

Dong Xiaowan said anxiously: "You always agree to others without my consent, those well-dressed beasts, they hate it when they look at it!" ”

Li Zhenli said seriously: "Xiao Wan, it's not good to scold people behind your back, if someone hears it, it will be troublesome." ”

Dong Xiaowan got up seriously and said with a twist: "What if you hear it?" Kill me? Ate me? ”

Li Zhenli saw that Dong Xiaowan was really anxious, and sneered: "This time, it is the Mao Gongzi of the Restoration Society and the Fang Gongzi of Fang Mi who are here, are you relieved?" ”

"Why didn't Aunt Li say it earlier?" Dong Xiaowan sighed with relief and complained, and then asked, "Could it be that Mr. Zhang Tianru (the character of Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society) is also here?" ”

In her impression, although these people are talented, they have little wealth, and most of the time they follow the big man of the Fushe Society, even if they come by themselves, it is occasional. Today, I want to accompany myself with Li Xiangjun, Gu Hengbo, Bian Yujing, Zheng Tuoniang and other famous actors, this meeting is a bit big.

"Mr. Tianru went to Shengze and hasn't come back yet." Li Zhenli said: "According to the prince of Bijiang, he sent someone to inform him that a new friend will come to my Meilou to play and ask us to entertain him. ”

Dong Xiaowan said with confidence: "The one who can come with a few sons should also be a talent." Aunt Li, I'll go and meet Xiangjun and them for a while. ”

Mao Xiang and others invited Wang Yue to visit the Qinglou, of course, they had to send someone to greet them in advance. After all, Wang Yue is a high-ranking official, so he can't be lazy, and these girls don't all live in Meixianglou.
