There were a lot of people coming to the church tonight, most of them were dignitaries from the business community in the capital, and Yao Qianshao was very happy to welcome them back and forth. Everyone knows his relationship with the Song family in Jiangnan, and also understands his current status, so they are naturally warm and cordial with him.

The table he sat at was in the middle, the best place to watch the play, the food on the table was fresh and exquisite, and the tea was also a freshly brewed high-quality dragon well, which was full of fragrance.

Yao Qianshao took a sip, and looked up to see Mengqiu on the stage, this one is called "Heroes Club", Mengqiu played Zhou Yu is very handsome, which provoked everyone in the audience to be ecstatic, and the call was enthusiastic for a while.

Yao Qianshao also looked happy in his heart, and as soon as he called for a reward, someone approached to talk back. I saw that his expression seemed to be happy, and he immediately got up and left, and it didn't take long for him to appear in a private room on the second floor.

Mengqiu was performing on stage, but he watched Yao Qianshao's every move.

There were three people in the private room on the second floor, one of whom was sitting at the table and the other two were standing on the side. Seeing Yao Qianshao coming in, he respectfully turned sideways and got out of the way.

"Lord Shizi, when did you arrive? Don't call anyone to pass it on, so that I can go and meet you. Yao Qianshao walked over to the seated person and bowed.

The man turned his face and smiled, it was Chen Jiang, the prince of the Hou Shizi of Molan Beiling, who was injured in the case of private salt not long ago, "I'm in a hurry to listen to the play, Boss Yao sit down and tell me about the play." ”

Yao Qianshao was naturally very happy, he sat down, rested one arm on the table, and leaned towards Chen Jiang, "Lord Shizi, this is called 'Heroes Meeting', which tells the story of Cao Cao's strategists to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, but he was separated. The focus of this play is on Zhou Yu's body, not only deceived the strategist, but also deceived Cao Cao, borrowing a knife to kill people, which is very powerful. ”

Chen Jiang nodded, dragged a grape and threw it into his mouth. "Who is this little student, so handsome."

Yao Qianli followed his gaze and looked at Mengqiu, who was playing Zhou Yu, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "This is Mengqiu, now the singing Xiaosheng Hongjiao in the capital, have you seen it, there are so many people today, but they are all coming for him." ”

Hearing Yao Qianshao say this, Chen Jiang was obviously more interested, leaned over the fence, and carefully looked at the people on the stage.

Yao Qianshao beckoned, and a subordinate came over with his ear.

"How many more are there in Mengqiu?"

"Two more."

"Tell him to come to see me when the play is over."

The next person left in response, and Yao Qianshao added new tea to Chen Jiang here.

"I haven't had time to greet yet, how is the prince's health? Can the wound recover? ”

Chen Jiang's eyes still fell on the stage, but his body leaned back, he took the tea cup in Yao Qianshao's hand and took a sip, "What, I'm worried that if I die, you and your Song Mansion will be unlucky?" ”

"The prince knows me, I'm just a businessman." Yao Qianshao smiled gently, "The same is true for Song Gate. We just want to do a good job in business, and we are all happy for each other. He took out a brocade box from his bosom, which was decorated with gold leaf and inlaid with translucent jade beads, which glittered in the candlelight, and was worth a lot of money.

Yao Qianshao put the box in front of Chen Jiang, Chen Jiang squinted, and opened a small slit with one finger to take a look, it was full of precious and excellent jade agate, and the top was also covered with a silver ticket, a huge amount of smacking silver ticket.

Chen Jiang was obviously satisfied. He accepted the brocade box and smiled, "Today's play is good, Boss Yao's meeting is really interesting." ”

"I will tell my father that you take good care of me."

"Thank you, Lord Shizi." Yao Qianshao thanked him, and he felt a little proud in his heart. There are so many people in the Song Sect, but they are helpless about this matter. Fortunately, I made friends and maintained it in the past, and I got to this son, and now I have made such a big contribution, see who can underestimate myself again, and who will speak in the future.

Mengqiu's body is light, his singing voice is graceful, and his face is even better, it is really a pleasure to watch his play, especially when he is complacent.

Yao Qianshao couldn't help but smile happily on the stage, but Mengqiu's face flickered.

When Mengqiu took off her makeup and came up to thank her, Yao Qianshao was still talking happily to Chen Jiang. When he saw Mengqiu at a glance, he hurriedly stood up and pulled him in front of Chen Jiang.

"Look, isn't that a wonderful person?"

Chen Jiang looked at Mengqiu and was obviously very satisfied, and he actually rewarded a string of extremely precious agate bracelets at once.

Mengqiu smiled and continued, "Thank you for your tip, I don't know what to call it?" ”

"This is Master Chen." Before Chen Jiang could speak, Yao Qianshao took the first step to give up his seat and pushed Mengqiu to Chen Jiang's side and sat down.

Mengqiu just smiled and put the agate bracelet on his white wrist.

"Mengqiu thanked Master Chen." Haruko behind her had already prepared a pot of hot wine, and at this moment, she was following Mengqiu's meaning and resting it on the table. Mengqiu took the wine glass and filled it and handed it to Chen Jiang.

Chen Jiang took it in his hand and drank it all.

"It's the first time I've been in the capital, and I don't know what's interesting, what fun does Boss Dream know?"

In the face of this kind of scene, Mengqiu is very familiar and calm. "The capital is the most interesting place, where you can have fun. My friend in Dongcheng opened a new restaurant, and there are all kinds of things that men like, I wonder if Chen Ye is interested? ”

Chen Jiang stared at Mengqiu's smiling face, nodded with satisfaction, and the group went downstairs, boarded the carriage and headed for Dongcheng.

The place is not far away, but a few streets away, the façade is very ordinary, but there is no hole in the door.

It is a large courtyard with three entrances, and the door is a luxurious restaurant, the aroma of wine and coriander fills every place, the glass wine cup, the red gold wine pot, the jade dishes, in the meantime, the small servants hold the exquisite delicacies in their hands, the hot and fragrant delicacies, and the footsteps are light and shuttle between the pavilions and elegant houses. Further inside, there are casinos. The rich young master embraced the beauty, cruising happily between the various gambling games, throwing a lot of money, the extreme excitement made people red-eyed, and the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry were even more dazzling against the background of the candle flame.

Chen Jiang followed Mengqiu all the way to see, and he only sighed in his heart the wealth and extravagance of the Central Plains people, although he was born in a noble, but in the past, he followed Chen Tuo to gallop on the battlefield, and he didn't make friends with people for fun, and he had never seen such a crazy and exciting scene. Everything around him made him unable to take his eyes off, and he couldn't wait to rush into it, but because of his status and status, he looked calm on his face, and it was not good for a Central Plains actor and businessman to see a joke.

After passing the drunken gold cave, and walking inside, it gradually quieted down. I only heard a soft and soft voice in the distance, accompanied by the beautiful sound of the pipa, drifting over with the wind little by little.

Finally, I came to the innermost courtyard. The pavilions are full of laughter, and the graceful figure is reflected in the window, accompanied by the trembling curves that seem to be nothing, which can immediately arouse the vulgar desire of men, and even the breath is stagnant.

Chen Jiang was stunned, and it wasn't until a beautiful woman came over and pulled his hand that he came back to his senses.

Yao Qianshao and Mengqiu looked at each other and smiled.

"This is the Yunmei girl of Yuhuanlou, the top brand here." Mengqiu said, and said to Na Yunmei: "This is a noble son, quickly open your Paradise Hall and lead us there." ”

Yun Mei nodded coquettishly, and the maid beside her had already run all the way to do something. Her pair of white and tender hands gently climbed up to Chen Jiang's hand, her beautiful eyes were like water, seductive, and a string of pearl necklaces on her snow-white neck hung on her whiter chest, and then down, there was a dark shadow.

"Master." The red lips opened lightly, and the person who called was soft. Chen Jiang grabbed the beauty's hand, and with the other hand, he directly pulled the beauty into his arms, turned his head to Mengqiu and said, "It's really a good place, let's go and come together." ”

There is everything in Yunmei's Bliss Hall, which is simply the epitome of the entire Yuhuan Building. Chen Jiang and Mengqiu, Yao Qianshao were happy inside, and the door was guarded by his two guards.

Yun Mei is the best at singing, with a round and coquettish voice, every note is delicate and full, like a cool and clean summer lotus leaf with crystal dewdrops, plus she is slender, but exquisite, and there is a strong style scattered between walking and laughing, which is almost about to hook Chen Jiang's soul.

Yao Qianshao only coaxed Chen Jiang to be happy, while Mengqiu was sometimes joking and laughing on the side, and sometimes singing two paragraphs with a bright voice.

There is a strong incense burning in the Hall of Paradise, which is a little choking at first smell, but the more it can help people to make people happy, and make people forget to return.

The incense of bliss is placed in a floor-to-ceiling gilded flower incense burner, and the ultimate fragrance is wafting out from it, turning into smoke and dust, into a dream, and into the quiet sins of this world. Mengqiu stroked the incense burner, squinted and looked over, two men and a woman under the east window were playing a game of wandering.

After a while, Yao Qianshao came back from outside, brought back a small servant holding a tray, and said to the guard at the door: "The two of you have worked hard, this place has its own guards, it is very proper, you can rest assured." I've opened another private room next door, so I'd like you to take a break and have some tea. ”

The two looked at each other, bowed their hands, and one of them said: "We were ordered to protect the prince, but the prince was injured the day before yesterday, and the guards were already unfavorable, and now I dare not leave my post without permission." Yao Gongzi is kind to me and the two of us, so there is no need to bother. ”

Yao Qianshao persuaded two more words, and when he saw that the two of them were resolute not to accept, he stopped being verbose, and ordered the servant to present the tray, "This is the newly made refreshments I ordered the store, let's use some of them." Yuhuanlou's dim sum is not necessarily eaten if you have money in the capital. He smiled enthusiastically, and motioned for the servant to hold the tray closer.

The two of them were about to excuse themselves, but at this time, the door of the Paradise Hall suddenly opened, and Mengqiu walked out of it, and was very happy to see Yao Qianshao at a glance, "The fifth master is here, the prince asked me to look for you, saying why haven't you come back for so long." Yun Mei said a riddle, the prince couldn't guess it, so he asked you to guess it. ”

As soon as the door of the Paradise Hall opened, the rich aroma came to the face, and the laughter of men and women overlapped, and the room was warm.

Mengqiu glanced at it, and saw the tray in the little girl's hand, and took it back quietly.

"It's just that you're here, help me persuade these two, the best snacks, it's too wasteful not to eat them."

Yao Qianli wanted to be a good friend of this prince, and even the attendants around him didn't want to let go, and he was considerate and helpless.

Mengqiu smiled, he turned around and took the plate of refreshments, stuffed it to the two, took Yao Qianshao's hand and entered the Paradise Hall, "Fifth Master, isn't this over." ”

Yao Qianshao was a little helpless, but when he heard Chen Jiang's voice, he hurriedly trotted in.

The two of them looked at each other at the door, just that, since it is the enthusiasm of others, they can't be ruined, just eat.

It was already late at night, Mengqiu was singing songs on the side in the Paradise Hall, Chen Jiang was still in excellent spirits, hugging Yunmei, playing dice with Yao Qianshao, winning or losing once was a gold ingot, of course, winning more and losing less, which made him happy, and the beauty of the kiss was scattered.

Just as he was happy, there were suddenly two loud noises at the door, and before everyone could react, the door of the Paradise Hall was violently pushed open, and the two guards crawled in with their mouths full of blood.
