Fang Jinshi waited for a while, and saw Wang Zongbi leading two or three shopkeepers out of the door, and when he saw Fang Jinshi, he came over and saluted: "I just thought that Brother Fang would not give me face, and he would definitely come over to cheer."

Fang Jinshi hurriedly returned the salute: "The official Wang personally invited, how dare I not come."

Wang Zongbi said with a smile: "An old acquaintance heard that you are coming, and I am waiting for you early in the morning." After speaking, he raised his hand and clapped his hands twice in the air, and a person immediately flashed out from behind the door: "Captain Fang, do you still recognize me?"

Fang Jinshi saw that this person was a tall man about thirty years old, and he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he had to say: "Please forgive me for not having a good memory, and I can't call my brother's name for a while."

This man said: "In the lower Tang Dynasty, I once met with Captain Fang in the tent of General Wanyan Di Gu Nai in Yunnei Prefecture, and it is normal for Captain Fang not to remember it when I am unknown."

Fang Jinshi then remembered that he was Wan Yanliang's subordinate, and he had indeed met him, Tang Kuo, as a general of the Jin Kingdom, ran to Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, at this time, and together with this Wang Zongbi, it was almost certain that even if this Wang Zongbi was not a Jin person, he must be doing things for the Jin State.

At this time, Fang Jinshi didn't want to be too cold, so he said casually: "It turned out to be General Tang, it's really a blessing."

Wang Zongbi said on the side: "Don't stand at the door and talk, let's go in, Brother Fang, have you ever brought a beautiful woman with you?"

Fang Jinshi said: "Of course there is." He walked up to the carriage and said, "You can all come down." ”

As soon as the curtain of the car was lifted, Baozhu was the first, Xue Ling was second, and Master Li followed them to the last one to get out of the carriage, they were wearing the same style of clothes, their faces were covered with white veils, they were all young women with good figures, even the height was about the same, Wang Zongbi looked at the three women in such costumes getting out of the car, and couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed: "Wonderful, it's really a good way, this method can only be thought of by Brother Fang."

Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Wang Daguan won't think that I have more beauties, right?"

Wang Zongbi said: "Where is it, how can there be a reason to dislike the beauty of many people, Brother Fang's blessings are boundless, it is really enviable, please come in." He said to the side, Fang Jinshi was not polite, and led the three beauties and Shi Quan Feng Wan into the door together, Li Bao stopped the carriage outside and did not follow up.

After entering the door and coming to the courtyard, Wang Zongbi said: "Originally, a special passage was arranged for Brother Fang's beauty to go upstairs, but now that you have been prepared, how about taking the stairs at the main entrance?"

Fang Jinshi said: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the king's officials."

Wang Zongbi and Tang Kuobi led the way, going upstairs from the staircase, there were already many guests gathered in the lobby downstairs, Fang Jinshi walked through the crowd with three women wearing the same clothes and covering their faces, which naturally attracted the side eyes of many people, Baozhu and Master Li were used to only seeing these people, Xue Ling was a little nervous, lowered her head and pulled the veil up, she took a slow step, and Master Li, who followed her, stepped on her heel, and suddenly stepped on her right shoe, making her take a few steps on one foot, Immediately, some of the good deeds deliberately made a loud noise, and more eyes were looked at them.

Master Li quickly whispered, "Ignore them, leave quickly." Saying that, he helped Xue Ling and hurriedly followed the jewel up the stairs, and Xue Ling walked upstairs to breathe a sigh of relief.

Fang Jinshi walked through the crowd with three graceful light gauze women, with a lot of face, and the eyes of the audience were watching him and the three women behind him, Wang Zongbi said: "Brother Fang is proud, and many people below are very envious."

Fang Jinshi said indifferently: "The officials invited me to come, they won't just come to compliment me."

Wang Zongbi smiled and said, "It's me who said more, a few please." He took Fang Jinshi to a room on the far edge of the second floor, and then said, "I have already instructed here, no one is allowed to come and disturb you, you can rest assured that you can enjoy the delicious food here, but after a while, people will only put the food at the door, and you need to send someone to bring it in yourself."

Fang Jinshi said: "As long as there is good wine and good food, there is nothing to trouble at all, and the officials have a heart."

Wang Zongbi nodded and said, "Miss Cui Niannu is preparing, wait a minute, you can open the window, you can see her, there are other guests outside, Brother Fang, I will be absent for a while."

Fang Jinshi said: "The officials of the king have been busy in advance, and we don't bother you here." ”

Wang Zongbi opened the door and went out, Fang Jinshi saw that the furnishings in this house were simple, there was only a table and a few stools, there was a screen at the door, and there was nothing else, he walked over and opened the window, and under the window was the backyard of the Huibin Building, this yard was not small, there was a big pond, which was full of lotuses, and two small boats were parked on the shore of the water, and a wooden platform was built in the lotus bushes of the pond, and many flower pots were used around the wooden platform, and a table and a stool were placed in the platform, and a piano and an incense burner were placed on the table. I think it's a while for the world-famous Cui Niannu to perform on stage in this lotus bush.

Fang Jinshi said: "Wait a minute, you can stand in front of this window, and you can watch Cui Niannu's piano skills." The three girls all came to take a look, and Baozhu said: "It's a little far away here, I don't know if I can hear the word card she sings clearly." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "This is easy to say, as long as you don't take off the veil on your face, when Cui Niannu starts singing, I will lead you to listen closer, it's nothing, if you want to sing and play, I can also tell that Wang official to let you go on stage." ”

Baozhu said: "This is still free, in front of the world-famous capital Ershu, how dare I get an axe." ”

When Master Li heard her say this, he couldn't help but glance at her behind her, and at this time, someone said outside the door: "Captain Fang, Captain Fang." ”

Fang Jinshi heard the voice of Tang Kuobi, so he walked out of the door, and waited outside the door for Tang Kuobi, who didn't dare to come in, to see him come out, bowed down and said, "Captain Fang, there is still fun below, I'll take you to take a look." ”

Fang Jinshi looked back, and then asked, "What's so fun?" ”

Tang Kuobi knew what he meant by looking back, and stepped forward and said, "This is fun, Captain Fang can go alone, you don't have to bring people with you in everything." ’

Fang Jinshi thought that Shi Quan was there, and it would be nothing for him to follow this Tang Kuobi to go upstairs elsewhere, so he went back to the room and talked to Shi Quan, and then followed Tang Kuobi downstairs.

The two walked downstairs, and Tang Kuo argued, "Captain Fang, do you like to gamble?" ”

Fang Jinshi shook his head: "This is not my favor, General Tang, don't call me any captain anymore, this is not the northwest At that time, I had already left the army for a long time." ”

Tang Kuo argued: "Then it's good for me to call you Fang Gongzi." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "It's okay, General Tang, aren't you under the tent of General Wanyan Di Gunai, how did you get to this Bianliang City in Tokyo." ”

Tang Kuobi said a little proudly: "A few days ago, when I was in Beijing, our Jin Guoliang Mansion wanted to find someone who knew Fang Gongzi, I accidentally learned the news, so I volunteered to come, thanks to Fang Gongzi's blessing, I can come to this prosperous Bianliang to have a while." ”

Fang Jin Shiqi said: "What are you Liang Wang of the Jin Kingdom looking for my people to do?" ”

Tang Kuo argued: "King Liang Wanyan Wushu has always loved talents and cherished talents, saying that it is quite a bit of Meng taste, thinking that Fang Gongzi fought a few great battles in the northwest before, and someone recommended you to King Liang, so he personally came to Bianliang thousands of miles away, and came to meet Fang Gongzi You came." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Is the Liang prince of your Jin Kingdom also here?" ”

Tang Kuo argued: "Isn't it just Lord Liang who took you upstairs?" You still ask me. ”

Fang Jinshi suddenly realized, it turned out that this Wang Zongbi was not only a Jurchen of the Jin Kingdom, but also the King of Liang of the Jin Kingdom, Tang Kuo was a real person, and he told him everything, Fang Jinshi said: "Are you the Liang prince of the Jin Kingdom a Han Chinese?" ”

Tang Kuo argued: "Of course not, Prince Liang is a member of the royal family, and his natural surname is Wanyan, and he likes your Han things, so he gave himself a Chinese name." ”

Fang Jinshi just wanted to ask something more, but Tang Kuobi suddenly said, "It's here." ”

Fang Jinshi raised his head and looked, it turned out that he and Tang Kuobi were walking and talking, and unconsciously let him take him to the boat on the shore of the pond, there is a wooden railing on the shore, which can lead directly to the boat, and there is a green-clothed maid standing on the left and right sides of the railing, Tang Kuobi stopped and the other party entered the stone and said: "Fang Gongzi, please." ”

Fang Jinshi looked at the trail and asked, "Do you want to get on the boat?" ”

Tang Kuo nodded and said: "That's natural, otherwise what am I bringing you here for, Lord Liang personally went to invite four people this time, and the other three have already come, just waiting for you, Young Master Fang." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I don't know if it's those four people, can you talk to me?" ”

Tang Kuo argued: "Wait a while, you will definitely be able to meet the other three, besides, I don't know other people's names, Fang Gongzi, there are still people waiting for me to sit in the village, I will send you here, and I will say goodbye." He bowed, turned and walked away.

Fang Jinshi stood on the shore, seeing that the boat was not big, but it was very delicate, and he didn't know who was inside, he groaned, walked up the path, and came to the shore, and a green-clothed maid standing at the railing saw him coming, greeted him and asked, "May I ask if you are Fang Gongzi or Mr. Dong?" ”

Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment, and then replied truthfully: "Under the surname Fang." ”

The maid got out of the way: "Fang Gongzi, please." ”

Fang Jinshi followed her to the side of the boat, and he pretended to be casual and asked, "Are the other three here?" ”

The maid said: "Lu Ye and Xin Ye have been here, and Dong Ye has not been here." ”

Fang Jinshi snorted, he knew from this maidservant that the prince of Jin Guoliang had completed Yan Wushu, that is, that Wang Zongbi personally invited four people, in addition to him, there was also a surname Lu, one surnamed Xin, and one surnamed Dong, and I don't know what kind of people they were.

The one surnamed Dong hasn't come yet, and he doesn't know if the two people who came first are still on this small boat, and they have already left, he thought about walking, and followed the maid on the boat, and the maid walked to the cabin door and lifted the bamboo curtain on the door for him: "Young Master Fang, please come in." ”

Fang Jinshi didn't think much about it, bowed his head and drilled in, although the place in the cabin of this small boat is not big, but the decoration is extremely luxurious, the ground is covered with a precious Persian carpet, the wall is hung with famous calligraphy and paintings, the cabin including the top is all treated with tung oil on the surface, and then carefully polished, giving people a sense of luxury, the wall is placed along the wall root of the row of very small white porcelain pots, all kinds of small flowers in it are carefully planted with each other, the cabin is in the middle of a low table, on which a celadon potted plant is placed.

The whole room was filled with the smell of fragrance, and the cabin was also separated by a sparse beaded curtain at the back, Fang Jinshi saw a young woman in blue sitting with her back to him in front of a dresser in the corner of the cabin, she was taking a piece of red paper, gently putting it into her lips in the mirror and biting it, and after a short pause to take it out, her lips were dyed red.

The woman didn't look back, and said lightly: "Young Master Fang, please sit down, I'll make up my makeup." She put down the red paper, took the brush on the dresser, and traced her eyebrows in the mirror.

There were no chairs and stools in front of the low table in the cabin, probably to make people sit on the ground like people before the Han Dynasty, Fang Jinshi had to kneel in front of the low table and said, "Thank you, girl." ’

The woman tracing her eyebrows there thinly, and said, "I heard that Gongzi Fang is from Jiangnan?" Her voice was very soft, with a hint of murmuring.

Fang Jinshi said: "In the lower state." ”

The woman sighed and said, "That Gongzi is still half of my fellow villagers, the little woman from Yuezhou." ”

She chatted with Fang Jinshi word by word, and soon drew her eyebrows, she put down the brush, turned around and stood up, stretched out her hand to lift a bead curtain and stood there, Fang Jinshi looked up at her face, this woman is extremely beautiful, but she is not like the beauty of Master Li that catches people's hearts at a glance, but it is an indescribable flattery, she has a little smile on her face, but Fang Jinshi can't feel it, this smile comes from her heart, but a fake smile for the sake of laughing, her complexion is pale, The most is not as morbid as Li Shishi and Liang Cuirong's pathological whiteness, this woman is especially good at makeup, for example, Fang Jinshi has seen all women who can wear makeup, her whole face looks extremely pink, Fang Jinshi saw that she only wore the right earring, and the left earlobe was missing, and she didn't use her hair to block it, but directly let it be displayed in front of others.

Fang Jinshi saw her left ear and couldn't help but say, "It turns out that you are Miss Cui." Because Master Li told him yesterday that Cui Niannu is also known as "Half-eared Jiao Niang" because of this defect in her ears, which is her unique mark, in fact, even if Fang Jinshi doesn't see her defect, with her beauty, she should be able to guess that she is Cui Niannu.
