In the evening, countless lanterns were gradually lit along the banks of the Qinhuai River. From the Gongyuan Street of the East Pai Lou, to the Kuiyuan Building at the mouth of the inland river, to the west through the area of the lower street entrance of the Jewelry Gallery, all of them sailed out of a gorgeous lightboat.

These painting boats, which seemed very inconspicuous on the shore in the white day, were brightly lit at this time, and the slender and charming girls on the bow of the boat naturally made passers-by stop unconsciously. As for the regular customers who got off the car, many of them got on these boats and enjoyed the night in the sheng song and dance.

Even those who feel that getting on the lightboat is too ostentatious also have their place. All the way along the river is the river house water pavilion, the most famous of which is 14 buildings. Among them, Qingping Building, located at the intersection of Shengping Bridge and Zhongzheng Street, was once the favorite place for dignitaries and dignitaries. Only now there are fewer dignitaries and dignitaries living nearby, and there are few officials who really hold great power in the yamen east of Tongjimen Street, so this place has inevitably become a place where those wealthy businessmen and magnates in the vicinity spend a lot of money.

Standing in front of Qingping Building at this time, looking at the brilliant lights there, and listening to the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra from time to time, Xu Xun remembered the envy on his face when Jin Liu sent him here, and remembered the ambiguous expression when he explained this place to himself, he didn't know that this place looked like a luxury restaurant from the outside, but it was not as simple as the Kuiyuan Building at the entrance of Gongyuan Street.

Tonight's trip to the appointment came strangely, although Jin Liu persuaded him to dress up brightly, but Xu Xun was still in the green robe last night. He had barely reached the door when he was greeted by a shrewd man. This young guy was obviously well-trained, looked Xu Xun up and down, bowed down, and said with a smile: "Is the son casual, or is he seeing people?" ”

The so-called casual means that it is not predetermined, and he just picks a satisfactory seat; The so-called meeting people is naturally for the purpose of going to the appointment, so most of them are masters who need to be carefully flattered. Therefore, after the guy finished asking, he saw Xu Xun curiously looking at the noise downstairs, and his attitude became more attentive.

"See people."

Xu Xun saw that there were more than ten or twenty tables of eight immortals in the huge place on the first floor, and the place in the center seemed to be an old man and a young man playing and singing, and he couldn't help but think of the big hotels with orchestras or other performances in later generations. After retracting his gaze and spitting out these two words, he took out the big red thorn from his arms, and sure enough, as soon as the thing was shot, he saw the other party's color change, and then after looking at it for a while, he immediately bowed down deeply almost flatteringly.

"Childe, please come with the little one."

From the first floor to the second floor, all around is separated by various folding screens, although it is not as noisy as below, but after all, it is not isolated, standing at the staircase you can hear the sound of staggering and loud laughter. Xu Xun saw that the guy kept walking up the stairs in front of him, and he had to follow the steps. As soon as he ascended to the third floor, there were two well-dressed middle-aged men standing next to the two gates, and when he saw someone coming up, one of them immediately stepped forward, whispered to the guy, and turned around to open the door.

When Xu Xun entered with the guy, the two doors closed gently, and the noise below immediately receded like a tide, although there was a faint sound in his ears, but even if he listened carefully, he could only tell that there were rare people playing and singing in the box on the third floor. He followed the fellow again and walked a short distance when he pushed open a door next to him and made a gesture of invitation.

Although Xu Xun had been speculating about the origin of the big red thorn in his arms, at this moment, he keenly noticed that the guy pushed the door directly in instead of knocking on the door in advance. Therefore, when he entered the box, he found that although there were all tables and chairs in it, and there were even four boxes containing various snacks on the table in advance, but there was no one, he naturally did not feel strange at all.

"Childe, please be seated." The guy asked Xu Xun to sit down with a smile on his face, and then went to the side of the purse and took out a small and delicate purple clay pot to make tea, and then stood there and lowered his hand and said, "Childe, please stay here for a while, the little one will go down and let me know, and the tea and snacks can be taken at will." ”

Seeing that Xu Xun didn't have anything else to say, the guy immediately tiptoed out. As the door of the box was closed again, the room was suddenly silent, and even the sound of playing and singing that had been walking outside before could not be heard, and there was a lingering sense of irritability as people sat there. Knowing that this is because he doesn't know anything about tonight's master, he sipped the tea, Xu Xun casually took two pieces of dim sum to cushion his hunger, and then sat there motionless, but he thought about what Jin Liu said when he saw the big red thorn when he sent him.

"Young Master, this thorn is extraordinary! Those adults and men worship each other, if they are not acquainted, most of them just take the famous thorn and throw it, which can be regarded as a full courtesy. But according to the customary rules, you can only use the big red name thorn during the New Year's holidays. But if this is not the time of the New Year and the winter solstice of the Lantern Festival, there is only one type of person who can be stabbed with a big red name, and that is the one who has ordered Hanlin! ”

Since his family knows his own affairs, Xu Xun understands in his heart that those two sentences are certainly the works of a great man full of courage, and his left-hand cursive writing is also practiced by many years of hard work, but it is easy to fool Xu Yuan, who is not a serious jinshi, and it is easier to fool the people of the Xu family, and it is not difficult to make those officials who should be praised by the Tianfu Ya, but if you really want to say that a Hanlin can invite him here with a big red name because of this, he will never be so arrogant. After all, that Wu Qigongzi was just introduced to him, and Liu Fucheng and Fang Zhizhong only asked a question or two curiously, and no one made a fuss about this.

In the Ming Dynasty, such as Tang Yin, Xu Wenchang and other famous people in the literary world, they all hit their heads and bleed in the imperial examination officialdom, which shows that the name of the literature may not be really useful in front of those who are officials. Others just speculate about the lyricist because of the meaning of the word, and feel that the person is full of ambition and justifiable ambition. When he really wanted to look for it, where would he find that figure that was rare to see for thousands of years?

In his thoughts, he suddenly heard a soft click from the door, and immediately looked up. The next moment, I saw that the door was gently pushed open, and the guy he had just met bent over with a smile, and from behind him, several young girls rushed in. I saw that they had a big red Luo wipe on their foreheads, a big red Luo pin gold group jacket, a green Luo painted cloud shoulder, and a gold-painted peony flower on their boots, which looked extremely charming.

The five of them all have their hair combed and fairy buns, the oldest can vaguely see the fine lines at the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, and the younger ones are still a little childish, but what is exactly the same is the kind of smile that is just right, which makes people feel happy at first sight. The first four people all held different musical instruments in their hands, including pipa, guqin, jade flute, and small drum, and the last one had a ribbon tied around his waist, but he didn't take anything. After approaching, they didn't wait for Xu Xun to have any questions, and at the same time curtsy with a smile and called out to the son.

Seeing that Xu Xun was stunned for a moment and looked at him, the guy at the door immediately smiled and nodded and said, "It's still early at this hour, and the son will slowly enjoy the singing and dancing for a while." ”

As the door closed, Xu Xun saw that the girl with the ribbon smiled and said good fortune to the other girls, and then held a gold book in front of him, he had to reach out and take it, but countless thoughts appeared in his heart in an instant.

Therefore, when the girl came closer, consciously or unconsciously, and the large snow-white slippery piece on his chest was less than an inch away from the tip of his nose, the book in his hand unconsciously loosened, and fell to the ground with a snap. By this voice, he hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the girl's snow-white soft wattle rushed ahead again, and even intentionally touched the back of his hand. Although he withdrew his hand as if he had been stung by a bee, the other party still didn't seem to give up, and took advantage of the time to get up.

Finally the girl smiled and left a little, Xu Xun sat down with an unnatural face, opened the book and ordered a random tune, the girl smiled slightly and returned to her original position gracefully. As the beautiful sound of silk and bamboo orchestra sounded in the small box, Xu Xun breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and glanced around quietly, but his back deliberately left the back of the chair several inches, and the whole person's sitting posture was stiff no matter how he looked.

Although Xu Xun was rich and noble in his previous life, he was already a famous grass master at that time, and for many years after he was down, revenge was the foundation, how could he have the energy to go to Fengyue Field to mess around? As for those memories after being reborn, there are certainly many who are brave and ruthless, but they have never set foot in this kind of place. What's more, now that the master has not arrived, the main dish has not been served, but such an appetizer is coming, maybe just to see his reaction, how can he not be vigilant?

Beware of beware, but watching the girl dance in a small place with the beat of the music just now, he still gradually settled down and appreciated it. The kind of movement that seemed to be soft and boneless, but seemed to be extremely powerful, coupled with the little tricks that approached and teased from time to time, seemed to raise the temperature of the whole room by a few points, and when the drum beat suddenly climbed to the highest point, there was a faint shout outside the door. His eyes, which had been squinted, immediately opened, but he looked towards the door.
