When it was almost dusk, the gong of the state government office sounded, and Lotte returned to the official residence to change into the dress of a scribe, and left the state government under the envious eyes of his colleagues.

Caizhou City is surrounded by water, this Yang Song is not only a successful businessman but also an elegant person, and the place to entertain guests is not in the city, but on the flower boat far outside the city.

Out of the state office, the first time he came to Caizhou and had nothing to do, Shakuchi came to the front, and now Lotte is also a celebrity, although it is not as beautiful as in the peace, but there must be someone around to use it to decorate the façade.

As soon as Shakutanchi was talking to Lotte, a servant dressed as a servant came to Lotte and asked, "Your Excellency is Mr. Le, and the little one is instructed by my Yang official to lead the way with Mr. ”

After asking for some questions, Lotte learned that this person was a servant of Yang Song's family, and he was afraid that Lotte would not be able to figure out the place when he first came to Caizhou, so he specially sent to guide Lotte.

While walking with the servant, Lotte asked some questions, and when it was nearly dusk, he came to the riverside pier, only to see the lights on the river, and there was some scenery. Although the Qinghe River is a traffic waterway, there are many boats and boats, and there are some scenery where the flowers and boats gather on the shore, but compared with Caizhou, a place that extends in all directions, it is immediately much inferior.

The servant stopped, pointed to a flower boat on the shore and said, "Over there is the building boat that my lord has purchased, and the wine feast is set up on this floor!" ”

Lotte looked at the big ship with a visual length of about ten zhang, there are two cabins up and down, and the appearance of the flower boat can not be seen clearly in the twilight, but from the hanging lanterns, you can see that there are lacquer paintings, which are far more luxurious than those trickster flower boats by the Qing River.

"My family officials are also engaged in the trading of tricksters, so they bought this boat!" The servant said again.

As he spoke, Lotte followed the servant aboard the ship and led him to the second floor of the ship, while Shakushichi was placed on the shore and waited.

There is a large circle of splendid curtains on the second floor of the flower boat, and there is the sound of orchestral silk and bamboo inside, and Lotte enters Yang Song sitting on the main seat, and he doesn't know what to say about the joy, and he is looking up and laughing.

There were also four lazy scribes in the cabin, each sitting in a non-formal seat, all of them between thirty and forty years of age.

Hearing the footsteps, Yang Song turned his head to see Lotte, got up and arched his hand and said: "In July, I have not seen Mr. Le in March, I heard the news yesterday that Mr. Xiao came to Caizhou to work, and Yang was very happy!" ”

"That day, I was a wanderer in the Art Fair Garden, and I was offended, and I hope that Yang Guanren will forgive me!" Not familiar with this Yang Song, Lotte hurriedly returned the courtesy, and smiled again: "In the next county, the officials of the county are invited, and today they are invited by Yang officials, how can Le not come to meet!" ”

"What did Mr. Le say, Mr. Le's actions that day can be described as a real celebrity, and my garden is also famous among literati and scholars because of Mr.'s visit!" Yang Song said with a smile, and then introduced to the few people in the cabin: "Now I will introduce you to a little celebrity!" ”

Lotte went upstairs and the like, those guests saw that Lotte was no more than ten years old, and he looked like he was just a state student, how could Yang Song be so polite, and they all wondered in their hearts that they were guessing the origin of Lotte.

Yang Song smiled and said: "This is the owner of the Peach Blossom Nunnery in Pingyu, the Peach Blossom Langjun who everyone admires in the dust, you have heard a lot about it, let a few of you take a look at Mr. Le himself today!" ”

Listening to Yang Song introduce himself like this, Lotte was extremely helpless in his heart, not to introduce his poetic talent, but to introduce his reputation in the dust, which is to boast about himself or scold himself.

"It turns out that Peach Blossom Le Langjun is disrespectful and disrespectful!" Hearing Yang Song's introduction, the four of them got up one after another, but they didn't underestimate Lotte.

"'I once whipped a famous horse because of drunkenness, for fear of being amorous and tired of beauties.'" One of them said softly after seeing the salute, with a bit of regret in his eyes: "I heard that Le Langjun has this half-syncopic poem in Pingyu, but Fang Mou felt that Mr. only made the first half of the syncope, and the second half was missing, which is really a pity!" ”

I copied a poem in order to save some wine money, but I didn't expect it to come to Caizhou in a few days.

Everyone wants to know how to write the second half, but this is not the first time that someone has asked themselves such a question. Lotte thought about it, and for a while it was better to answer it. In the blink of an eye, he said in his heart, there are still three years before Fang La's rebellion, and it is not too late to make up for this second half of the rebellion by then.

Thinking of this, Lotte suddenly found an excuse in his heart, and said: "I got together with friends that day, and I was drunk for a while, and then I was drunk to death, but I woke up and found that I couldn't remember the second half of the sentence anyway, and I had to do it." ”

"I see!" Yang Song and the others were stunned.

"Mr. Le has the legacy of Taibai, but he does not have the amount of wine that is too white!" A scribe laughed.

Lotte smiled bitterly: "Ashamed, ashamed!" ”

"Poor heavenly words, in their sleep!" The middle one shook his head and sighed, and sighed again: "There is the excitement of the first half, why do you need the second half to correspond, as Mr. Le once said, incompleteness is also a kind of beauty!" ”

Even when these words came here, Lotte couldn't help but be stunned. Another person in the dust is really gossiping, no wonder the family is often the best to get the news.

Yang Song smiled, waved his hand and said, "We might as well get Mr. Le drunk tonight, maybe Mr. Le can find the second half of the poem from the dream in his dream!" ”

Immediately, everyone burst into laughter.

After Lotte met with a few people, under the introduction of Yang Song, he knew that these four people were surnamed Wu, Feng, Han, and Li, or businessmen or wealthy families with thousands of acres of fertile land, all of whom were worth some money, and they were all educated in the state, and they were all Confucian scholars, and they were the only ones who were the most shabby.

They all sat down, but Lotte found that there were six seats in the room, and it seemed that one of them had not yet arrived.

"Let's take a seat!" After a few people sat down, Yang Song waved his hand and said, "Bring a few sisters!" ”

Scribes get together, have wine and food, and have female dancers to accompany them, which has become a fashion in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Brother Yang can't, and Brother Zhang hasn't come!" The scribe surnamed Han blocked the way.

Yang Song said with a smile: "Although Zhang Suo is older than me, he is my sister-in-law, and his own family is not polite!" ”

Who is this, Lotte has naturally never heard of it, although the guest is as he pleases, but he is a newcomer, and he is young, how can he not wait for others, and he is busy with a statement in the mouth of a scribe surnamed Han.

At this moment, only the footsteps of Deng Dengden could be heard downstairs, and several people speculated that it was the one who came.

After a while, only the sound of footsteps stopped, and a subordinate said respectfully outside: "Official, there is a female servant on the shore asking to see!" ”

"What kind of female singer, there is a female singer on this ship as an accompaniment?" Hearing that it wasn't his sister-in-law coming, Yang Song raised his eyebrows: "No!" ”

Hearing Yang Song speak like this, the servant did not leave, and said: "If you return to the official, the female official also knows it, and she is the teacher of the Yanliu Pavilion in Beicheng!" ”

"Huh?" Yang Song raised his eyebrows: "Yang didn't invite her to come to help the fun today!" ”

The servant replied: "The teacher said to the little one that they came here because they heard that Mr. Le came to the official to feast and drink!" ”

"Mr. Le is really a famous man!" The literati surnamed Feng stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up to Lotte: "A hundred years ago, Liu Sanbian was at the right time, and he may not be as dominant as Mr. ”

Hearing the words of the scribe surnamed Feng, everyone also laughed, but there was no hint of ridicule in the laughter, and some were full of envy and amazement.

Yang Song set his eyes on Lotte and said, "What does Mr. Lotte think?" ”

With a female singer to accompany him, how could he refuse, and besides, he said that his reputation and fame were not spread by the sisters of the Ling family, Lotte said: "The person who came is a guest, and besides, she is a weak woman, since you are invited, you can't refuse it, and I hope that the official will allow that sister to come!" ”

"Sure enough, he is a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, no wonder the tricksters love Le Langjun so much!" The scribe surnamed Han said with a smile.

"Brother Han said he laughed!" Lotte is helpless and a little self-deprecating.

The servant got Yang Song's words, and hurriedly got off the boat to lead the teacher Pan'er into the flower boat, and when the teacher Pan'er entered the cabin, a light and elegant rouge breath immediately came, and Lotte saw that he walked like a willow swaying, with a white face and soft skin. The eyebrows are slender and picturesque, and the eyes are as bright as stars. Qiong's nose and mouth, the corners of her lips slightly curved upward, with a little sad smile. The face is delicate and refined, without the slightest smell of fireworks in the world.

This Shi Pan'er gives people a sense of grace and refinement, worthy of being a first-class famous trick in Caizhou, and has a lot of looks and Sister Lan, but Sister Lan gives people the feeling of fragrant, unrestrained and enchanting, this Shi Paner gives people elegance and freshness, and the temperament of the two is different.

"The little woman has seen Yang Daguan, but it was abrupt to come today!" Shi Pan'er came to the cabin to greet Yang Song first, and then exchanged a blessing.

Yang Song is a businessman who ushered in the send-off, and his words are naturally very smooth: "I hope that Miss Er can come, and Yang is also happy!" ”

Five of the six people on the boat have seen it, only Lotte is alone, Shi Pan'er also asked knowingly, and said to Yang Song with a little coquettishness: "Today, the concubine made a post to invite Le Langjun to go to the slave house to eat and drink, but I didn't know that Yang Daguan also gave Mr. Le an invitation, knowing that Mr. Le would not save Yang Guanren's face, the concubine asked people to investigate, only to know that Yang Daguan set up a feast here, so she took the liberty to come, and asked the big official not to blame!" ”

Yang Song is also an elegant person, so naturally he can't deal with female actors.

Shi Pan'er said again: "Please also invite the big officials and concubines to recommend, which one is Peach Blossom Le Langjun?" ”

His expression was half serious and half teasing, and Yang Song opened his mouth and said: "The people in this banquet are all people that the girl knows, which one is the face?" ”

Shi Pan'er set her eyes on Lotte, moved her small steps to Lotte, and Yingying was blessed: "The official is Peach Blossom Le Langjun?" ”

Lotte bowed his hand slightly and saluted: "Le Moujie County Ya Xiao, I really don't dare to be the name of Langjun!" ”

While speaking, Lotte looked at a pair of jade feet under Shi Pan'er's skirt, and then realized that this Shi Pan was originally wrapped in feet, no wonder he walked like a lotus leaf in the wind.

Just when Lotte's voice fell, I only heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs of the flower boat again, and then saw that the servant came upstairs again, Shi Li said: "Official, there are a few more young ladies outside, all of whom claim to have come to Mr. Fun!" ”

After a pause, busy with his own master to blame, the servant said again: "These young ladies are all first-class female dancers in the city, Li Meiniang, Sister Jiang Li, and Heng Yuer are among them......"

This servant has been listening to the flower boat, as a turtle slave of the trick family, how can he not recognize the female trick in this city, and almost all the first-class famous tricks in Caizhou City have arrived.

Hearing this, several people at the banquet looked at Lotte in unison, with a look of surprise and a little smile flashing in their eyes, Lotte couldn't help but touch the bridge of his nose, and Shi Pan'er's eyes showed a little displeasure but disappeared in a flash.

"I'm afraid of being amorous and tired of beauties!" The scribe surnamed Li laughed and said to Lotte: "Mr. is not affectionate, and he is also a beauty who has exhausted the world, and he is really a gentleman!" ”

Yang Song couldn't laugh or cry, his own flower boat is also raising female tricks to make a living, today I invite Lotte to a banquet in addition to befriending Lotte, but also want to ask Lotte and his own female singer to write a poem, but I didn't expect that there are many female singers in the city in the name of Mu Lotte.

Although he is the master's family, he still has to ask about Lotte's meaning, and he is also a businessman, and it is easy to say that one or two girls in the city are good, but how can he refuse when there are many people, and he will laugh at himself in the dust. Xiang Lotte asked, "What does Mr. Lotte think?" ”

Lotte naturally couldn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Does Yang Guanren think Le dares to refuse?" ”
