Chapter 37: Merry Flower Moon, Li Xingshou, a chic woman, Chen Guanren

After resting outside the city for two days, Yan Qing and Li Kui went out every day to inquire about the news, and sure enough, as Sanniang expected, inside and outside Tokyo, it seems to be tightly guarded, but in fact, it is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, everyone knows that the gang of Liangshan thieves has made such a big move, and they don't go back to the mountain immediately, are they still waiting to return to Tokyo for you to catch? But the Son of Heaven was furious, so the forbidden army and the soldiers and horses patrolling the city also made a show, strictly checking the passers-by.

After waiting for two days, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, just because the imperial court still wanted to face, so the lanterns were still on. At dusk on the 14th, the bright moon rose from the east, there were no clouds in the sky, Sanniang pretended to be an idle and cool official, Yan Qing pretended to be a Chengju, Li Kui pretended to be a little idle, and the three people were mixed in the fire team, taking the road to coax into Fengqiumen, all over the six streets and three cities, and sure enough, the night was warm and warm, just the game. Turning the street, the lantern shed is tied in front of the house, and the lights are hung in the race, shining like the day, it is the fire up and down the platform, and the cars and horses come and go to see people.

After arriving in the city, Sanniang took Yan Qing and Li Kui, followed the White Lotus Sect's code, and found a place to settle in the city. The leader of the fine work caught it and introduced it into the dark room, and Sanniang asked if there was any whereabouts of Chen Niangzi. Therefore, Zheng Ying was ordered to find Chen Liqing's whereabouts, so there are portraits of Chen Liqing in all states and counties of the White Lotus Sect, and the leader of the study has also visited Chen Xizhen's old house in Tokyo many times, but he has found nothing.

When Chen Liqing's whereabouts could not be found, Sanniang was depressed, so she ordered a group of meticulous workers to continue to inquire about the news, and then came out and turned around the royal street, Sanniang was in front, Yan Qing and Li Kui were behind. Li Kui saw that Sanniang's face was depressed and she didn't speak, and her heart was also irritable, so she asked Yan Qingdao, "Why is my sister-in-law like this?" Isn't it just that Chen's daughter can't be found? Yan Qing said: "I heard that Mrs. Chen is strong in martial arts, and the heroine of the lord, after being captured by the lord in the past, it is said that the two cherish each other, like sisters, just like me and you, do not fight and do not know each other, the lord values love and righteousness, and if you can't find Mrs. Chen, she is naturally unhappy." ”

Li Kui suddenly realized: "I see, why didn't Mrs. Chen see the lord later?" Yan Qing shook her head and said: "I don't know, maybe at that time, her father Chen was an official and a soldier, and the lord was the lord of Liangshan, so it was difficult to be caught in the middle." ”

Three people, one before and two behind, walked like this, unconsciously to a street, suddenly heard a burst of warblers and swallows of the shouting sound, looked up, only to see two lines are smoke moon cards, to the middle, see a hanging green curtain, hanging bamboo curtains, both sides are full of blue yarn, hanging two cards, there are five words on each card, wrote: "Song and dance fairy, romantic flower and moon kui." ”

When Sanniang saw it, she knew that this street was a place for fireworks in Tokyo, and after saying hello, she led Yan Qing and Li Kui into the tea shop to eat tea. After the three of them sat down, they ordered a cup of tea, and Sanniang asked Dr. Tea, "Who is the prostitute in front?" Dr. Tea said: "This is the head of the Tokyo Upper Hall, called Master Li." ”

When Sanniang heard this, she said secretly, sure enough, it was her, and then said: "Isn't it hot to fight with Jinshang." Dr. Tea said, "Don't raise your voice, your ears and eyes will be close." Sanniang called Yan Qing and whispered in her ear: "I want to see Master Li, secretly investigate, you can have a graceful song, I will eat tea here and wait for you." "Sanniangzi and Li Kui were eating tea in the tea house.

However, it was said that Yan Qing went to the head of Master Li's door, opened the green curtain, lifted the bamboo curtain, turned into the middle door, and saw a bowl of mandarin duck lamps hanging, and on the rhino skin incense table below, there was a Boshan bronze incense burner, and the incense was spewed out in the furnace. There are four celebrity landscape paintings hanging on the two walls, and there are four rhino skin chairs under it.

Yan Qing saw that no one came out, and turned into the patio, which was another big guest seat, with three small beds carved and exquisitely carved by Xiangnan wood, covered with purple brocade mattresses with falling flowers and flowing water, hanging a good lamp in a jade shed, and placing strange antiques.

Yan Qing coughed slightly, only to see a maid turn out from behind the screen, and when she saw Yan Qing saying a thousand blessings, she asked Yan Qing: "Where is my brother's surname Gao?" Yan Qing said: "Sister Xiangnan, please ask your mother to come out, Xiao Ke has something to say." ”

The maid's name was Mei Xiang, and after listening to Yan Qing's words, she turned out of Mother Li after a short time of entering. Yan Qing invited her to sit down and bowed her head four times. Mother Li said: "Little brother Gao's surname? Yan Qing replied: "The old lady forgot, the villain is Zhang Yi's son, Zhang Xian's is that he has been outside since he was a child, and he will return today." ”

It turned out that there were the most people with the surname Zhang surnamed Li surnamed Wang in the world, and the pious woman thought about it for a long time, and under the lamp, she didn't recognize people carefully, so she suddenly saved and shouted: "Aren't you Xiao Zhang idle under the Taiping Bridge?" Where did you go? Many times do not come! Yan Qing said: "The villain has always been away from home, and he can't come to see each other. Now serving a Shandong guest, some of them are furniture, and they can't be exhausted. He is the first famous rich man in Yannan Hebei, and now he is here: one will enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival, two will come to Beijing to save relatives, three will buy and sell goods here, and four ask to see the lady. How dare you say that you come to the house to go in and out, just ask for a drink at the same table, and be satisfied. It's not a lack of idleness, but the man really has a thousand taels of gold and silver, and he wants to give it to the house. "That pious woman is a good person, she loves Jinbao, and when she heard Yan Qing's words, she moved her mind and hurriedly asked Master Li to come out and meet Yan Qing.

When you look under the lamp, you have a good look. When Yan Qing saw it, she bowed her head, and there is a poem as evidence: Fang Nian's reputation is the crown of the green building, and the jade appearance is rare. Envy the Supreme Zeng Close, He was ashamed of the strong man and bowed his head.

The pious woman said and prepared carefully, and Master Li said, "Where is that person now?" Yan Qing said: "Only in the front door teahouse." Master Li said: "Please come to the cold house to worship tea." Before Yan Qing could answer, she only heard a handsome official come out of the curtain, and only said, "Does my sister want to see a guest?" I'll just avoid it. ”

Yan Qing raised her eyes and saw a handsome official standing under the door, with red lips and white teeth, spring in the corners of his eyes, and skin as white as snow. At a glance, Yan Qing was slightly surprised: "There is such a handsome little Langjun in the world." ”

When Master Li saw the man come out, he hurriedly coaxed: "It's my mother's old acquaintance, meet him, invite him to have a cup of tea, and you will wait for me in the inner room." The handsome official smiled, which suddenly surprised Yan Qing even more, just because he smiled so good-looking, I only heard him say: "Since it is an old acquaintance, and I have heard that it is the first rich official in Yannan Hebei, then I also want to meet it." ”

The pious woman was displeased and said: "You are a guest, and the official is also a guest, how can you meet guests according to the rules of the industry?" The handsome official said: "It's okay, I just look at it and don't say it, it won't spoil my sister and mother's good things." Master Li persuaded the pious woman: "Since he wants to see him, he will introduce one or two, go out, and make friends all over the world, presumably the official will not mind." ”

After saying that, he asked Yan Qing to go back to the teahouse to invite someone to come. Yan Qing went to the teahouse and said the news in Sanniang's ear, and said that a handsome official was invited to meet inside. Sanniang smiled when she heard this: "This is interesting. ”

At that moment, Li Kui took some money and returned Dr. Cha, and the two followed Yan Qing to Master Li's house. Entering the middle door, please go to the big guest room, Master Li moved forward with his hand and asked: "Zhang Xian talks more about elegance in the right time, and now he humiliates the left side, and the pavilion is bright." ”

Sanniang looked at the master Li, and sure enough, the country was beautiful and fragrant, and there were all kinds of styles, but she didn't see the handsome official Yan Qing said when she looked left and right. Sanniang smiled and said: "The mountains and villages are lonely and unheard, and I am very fortunate to see the flowers." ”

Master Li invited to sit, Sanniang and Yan Qing sat on the left, and sat as guests; On the right side of Master Li, the main seat accompanies him. Just because Li Kui was rude, before entering the middle door, Sanniang ordered him to wait under the porch.

Zi held the tea, Master Li personally changed the cup with Sanniang and Yan Qing, not to mention the fragrance of the tea. After tea, Master Li said: "I have a guest from Shandong here, and he is also a general local rich man. ”

Sanniang smiled: "I'm going to make friends, and my sister can be introduced." Master Li called Mei Xiang to invite.

When I was young, I heard a burst of laughter like silver bells, and when the curtain was raised, a handsome official came in, and under the same eyes, Sanniang's face changed, she was surprised and delighted, and stood up and said, "It's you!" ”

The handsome official was smiling, but Sanniang was also stunned when he saw it, and then he smiled and froze: "It's not me!" ”

Yan Qing, Master Li and the others all looked at the two of them in amazement, but seeing that the two were slightly embarrassed, Master Li smiled and said, "It turns out that the two of them have known each other before, so it saves a lot of trouble." As he spoke, Master Li immediately stepped forward and grabbed the official and led him to the table to sit together.

Sanniang stared at the handsome official: "You made me look so hard." The handsome official just hung his head and didn't dare to look up. When Master Li saw it, he was suspicious: "Could it be that the two of them had any grudges before?" Don't make a fuss with me. It's still right for my mother to say that on this Fengyue field, it's better for guests to not meet each other. ”

At that moment, Master Li smiled, ordered to bring wine and food, and said to Sanniang: "Those who come to me are all guests, all of them are here to have a good time, some unpleasant things, and I will talk about it later, tonight we will talk about wine, only talk about Fengyue, not those unpleasant things." ”

Sanniang then smiled and said: "This is natural, seeing Brother Chen here, how happy I am in my heart, how can I be unhappy?" The handsome official didn't speak, and after Master Li persuaded him, he raised his wine cup and drank.

After three rounds of drinking, I wanted to hide it, but I saw Menzi come to report: "The official family came to the back." Master Li hurriedly got up and said: "Actually, I don't dare to stay together, I will definitely not come to the Qing Palace in the coming day, but I invite you to come here and talk about three cups." ”

Sanniang also said: "Since my sister has something important, I will leave first, and I can see my sister, and my wish is enough." After that, he said to the Chen official: "I am fortunate to have found Brother Chen here, and I have a lot to say, so it is better to find another place to sit less." Then Chen Guanren gritted his teeth and responded.

At that moment, Sanniang and the others said goodbye, Sanniang and the Chen officials took the lead, Yan Qing turned to the middle gate, and pulled Li Kui to walk. Out of Master Li's door, through the small royal street, throw into the Tianhan Bridge to see Aoshan. Playing from the front of the Fan Tower, you can hear the sound of the sheng spring upstairs, the drum music is noisy, the lights are suspicious, and the visitors are like ants. Sanniang said: "This is a good place." Then he pulled the Chen official to go up to the Fan Tower, found a pavilion to sit down, and instructed Yan Qing and Li Kui to sit downstairs, take some wine and food, and enjoy the lantern and drink with the Chen official upstairs.
