Chapter 131: Qin Huai Singer
The old man sent by the Geng Mansion to take care of the drunken Fenglou was supported by two girls and came out drunk.
Seeing that the turtle slave was beaten to a head full of green bags, the old man was about to get angry, but when the old bustard muttered a few words in his ear, his wine suddenly woke up nine points, and his back was full of cold sweat: this hundred households surnamed Qin are ruthless, and more than ten thugs are not his opponents of the brocade army, and that's it, even the famous four sons of Jinling are also deflated, and Qin's Taoism is not comparable to that of a stunned Qing!
Wen's martial arts are not people's opponents, thinking that there is Geng Xiangxiang standing behind him, the old man has made up his mind not to suffer the immediate loss, and walks over with a smile on his face: "This young talent must be Chief Qin?" Sure enough, the hero is good! In the past few days that Chief Qin has taken office, the little young master of my master's Geng Mansion has celebrated his birthday, and the old man is so busy that he doesn't have time to go to pay his respects, which is disrespectful and disrespectful! β
Lao Duguan pointed out the background of Geng's mansion, of course, he hoped that Qin Lin would retreat despite the difficulties.
The good ones don't come, the ones who come are not good, Qin Lin has already planned, and said with a haha: "It turned out that the old housekeeper was busy for a while and forgot to pay the usual silver, and the official didn't care about you in front of Geng Mansion, but now that the official has come to collect it in person, this regular silver will still be handed over - otherwise, the official's face will be a little unpleasant." β
After speaking, Qin Lin's eyes were half-narrowed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he sneered again and again.
Lao Du Guan sighed in his heart, he has been a housekeeper for decades, and was sent by the master to preside over the drunken phoenix building, scholars, farmers, industry, commerce, civil and military officials, three religions and nine streams have seen a lot, knowing that this guy opposite is a black-hearted master, he dare not fight head-on, so he had to tactfully say that there is not enough money on the counter now, and he will hand it over to the hundred households in a few days.
Qin Lin smiled, today was originally a knock on the mountain and a tiger, and the final result had to be convincing Geng Xiang behind the drunken Fenglou, and now he didn't care about himself, and he was limited to sending the regular practice to a hundred households within ten days.
When Qin Lin walked away, the old man dared to scold in a low voice: "Go back and tell my master, look at you as a hundred households, can you fight the master of the three products!" β
As soon as Qin Lin was angry, he came out of the Drunken Phoenix Tower and led people straight to Tianxiang Pavilion.
Tianxiang Pavilion is on the side of the Zhenhuai Bridge, close to the Qinhuai River, the refreshing and refreshing green tile powder wall, hanging two blue light gauze lanterns, the hazy light and the river waves, the moonlight contrasts with each other, and the artistic conception is better than the golden and brilliant drunken phoenix building.
A few turtle slaves at the door were all dressed as domestic servants in green clothes and hats, with a signature smile on their faces, seeing Qin Lin coming with a large group of brocade-clothed soldiers, the turtle man wearing a green turban greeted him, and asked unhurriedly:
"This chief, but is the new Master Qin of the Gengzi Institute?"
Qin Lin nodded quite reservedly, a little surprised in his heart.
Gui Gong immediately smiled into a chrysanthemum, bent down and stretched out his hand to lead in: "Please, please come here." β
The group of Gengzi Institute was a little puzzled, compared to Zuifenglou, the attitude of this Tianxiang Pavilion was too good, right? However, just Qinglou, are you still afraid that he will eat a lot of brocade official schools? They all followed Qin Lin in.
Contrary to the magnificence of the drunken phoenix building, the decoration of Tianxiang Pavilion is very elegant, the entrance is a pink wall, carrying the big characters of four thin gold bodies in the early spring of the south of the Yangtze River, bypassing the wall and suddenly opening up, the flowers and trees in the huge courtyard are sparse, the small bridge in the middle is rugged, a flower, a tree, a tree and a branch are scattered.
I don't know how many pavilions and pavilions, each one is a flying eaves bucket arch, and the long eaves corner is hung with a horse palace lamp, which rotates non-stop, and the light emitted reflects each other with the moonlight.
Before Qin Lin could finish reading, a fair-skinned woman with rich makeup greeted her, and she giggled when she heard it: "Chief Qin is here, and the humble house is shining!" I should have come to visit you a long time ago, but I didn't take the liberty to bother you when you were training in the East Garden, oops, I can look forward to you today! β
This woman is about thirty years old, and her face has a seven-point spring color, and she is the old bustard Lu Cuihua of Tianxiang Pavilion.
Lu Erling sneered in the back, waiting to see Qin Lin's liveliness: Lu Cuihua, this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Tianxiang Pavilion, the old bustard, is a well-known spicy goods in Jinling, four years ago, Gengzi all Ren Baihu officials have a lot of background, and there is also the backer of Beizhen Fusi behind him, so he wants to move this spicy goods, and bring people to collect the routine.
As soon as he entered the door, he was scolded by Lu Cuihua and bloody, and the hundred households were so angry that they wanted to start fighting, but before they could do it, the gods of Shuntianfu, the Imperial History of the Patrol City, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Jingwei Command Department all came, and they were all here, and they were good at persuasion, and they sang with a red face and a white face, and the hundred households had to go back to the house with a disgraced face, and within a few days, the boss sent an official document, and he was transferred to the far miasma ground in Xiangxi.
No, Qin Lin has also embarked on this road, a lesson from the past...... Lu Erling was full of joy and wanted to see Qin Lin unlucky.
As everyone knows, Qin Lin greeted each other, and before mentioning the usual things, Lu Cuihua patted her head and said, "Alas~ Mother-in-law, why am I confused again?" I haven't paid this month's regular money yet! β
After that, a stack of Wanyuan tickets with a denomination of five hundred taels was handed over to Qin Lin.
Qin Lin nodded that there were seven, and raised his eyebrows: "This number, it doesn't seem to be right?" β
Lu Cuihua laughed: "Three thousand taels is the norm, and the other five hundred is the new official of He Xi Qin, and my Tianxiang Pavilion is the pilgrimage ceremony." β
As soon as these words came out, all the official schools were dumbfounded-yes, did you hear it right, is this still the fierce and vicious spicy Lu Cuihua? How did a tigress suddenly turn into a good bunny?
Lu Erling only felt that his heart was about to break, and he wanted to cry, is this surnamed Qin the king of heaven, Laozi, you Tianxiang Pavilion has the former Nanjing Criminal Department Shangshu as the backstage, how many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials of his old man are all over the world, and he actually wants to be soft on a hundred households in brocade clothes, you, you really live up to my hard work!
Suddenly, my heart moved, and I thought that Qin Minglei behind Tianxiang Pavilion was surnamed Qin, and Qin Lin was also surnamed Qin, didn't he have any relatives, and he deliberately made a show for others today?
Lu Erling was flustered and couldn't help but think about it, but Qin Lin was born in Qizhou, Huguang, and Qin Minglei was a native of Linhai, Zhejiang.
Qin Lin was even more inexplicable, and secretly thought to himself: Isn't it that I also have the legendary king and overlordship, from now on, what kind of bull will see my old man, and he will immediately weaken his knees and bow down?
Lu Cuihua was extremely enthusiastic: "Chief Qin, please here, the second floor of our Tianxiang Pavilion facing the river is the most good place to watch the moonlight, since you are here, don't miss it." β
Waiting for Qin Lin to raise her feet and go upstairs, she blocked the rest of the people, saying that there were too many people to sit down, and there was a wine banquet for everyone to enjoy.
Lu Fatzi was not convinced, and shouted: "Fat man, I am Brother Qin's brother-in-law, you woman broke us apart, don't you want to kidnap Brother Qin?" β
Qin Lin smiled and motioned for Lu Cuihua to let Han Feilian, Lu Yuanzhi and Niu come up vigorously.
The salaries of the official schools of the hundred households are meager, and the status is also low-class in Nanjing City, which is full of dignitaries, and they have only entered the third-class Qinglou at most, and they didn't want to be able to enter the first-class Tianxiang Pavilion at all, and they didn't dare to have any super friendship with the girls here, so they were already smiling when they heard that Lu Cuihua had set up a banquet and could eat and drink.
Lu Erling was not angry, even Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali went up, and he didn't have a share of the general flag of the 100 household ranks, it was a blatant slap in the face!
With a sigh of relief, Lu Cuihua stopped him first, and then looked at Qin Lin's face.
"The moon is very crooked today!" Qin Lin looked at the sky with his hands behind his back.
Lu Cuihua understood at once, and smiled at Lu Erling: "Lu Zongqi, I can't sit upstairs, but my banquet is good, please here?" β
Lu Erling's teeth were gritted loudly, and he didn't dare to quarrel with Lu Cuihua, he only felt that the eyes of all the official school brothers looking at him were full of ridicule, his chest seemed to be stuffed with a big stone, his face was red and red, he stomped his feet and brushed his sleeves away.
The officials and schools all went to the side room where the banquet was placed, and talked and laughed all the way: "Lu Zongqi is too, Tianxianglou has a good banquet and don't eat it......"
"Heh, it's the first time I've eaten wine in Tianxianglou, go back and talk to Lao Wei and them, I can't kill them!"
Qin Lin took Lu Fatzi to the second floor, and Lu Cuihua arranged the seats for them with great enthusiasm.
At this time, the moonlight is bright, thousands of restaurants in Nanjing City have lit up the bright corner lamp, shining brilliant like day, the light and the moonlight reflect each other, the Qinhuai River is sparkling, and it is impossible to distinguish the moonlight or the light.
The painting boat on the Qinhuai River walked slowly, the silk and bamboo blew and sang the tune extraordinarily quietly, and there were singers accompanied by a cappella singing, the singing voice was graceful and listening, and the listeners all shook their hearts.
On both sides of the river house, either the official eunuch and the lady who lived, or the girl of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, every household rolled up the bead curtain and listened quietly by the railing, the incense of the beast burned in the river house sprayed out of the window, the clouds and mist on the Qinhuai River were hazy, and the singer standing on the painting boat was really like Luo Shen Lingbo!
On the largest painting boat, the singing voice is more clear and tactful than elsewhere, I don't know whether it is the beauty of the south or the rouge of the north, singing the tune in the hometown dialect, I can't understand a word, but I feel that the singing is like a murmuring stream in the mountains, and it is like the singing of a lark, Qin Lin listened to it and felt a smooth heart.
In the smoke and waves, the singer's appearance was not clear, but she saw that she was thin, slender waist, and standing at the bow of the boat like a weak willow supporting the wind, which made people feel pity.
The painting boat arrived at the bottom of the river house in Tianxiang Pavilion, and suddenly stopped, and a colorful bridge tied with various silk flowers stretched from the painting boat to the second floor of the river house.
Her appearance is beautiful and pitiful, the two bays are hazy with autumn waves and rain, and her fair melon seed face is slightly flushed, with the attitude of Xizi.
Although this singer can be regarded as one in a million, she is not as cute as Li Qingdai, not as beautiful as Zhang Zixuan, and not as bright as Xu Xinyi.
However, she seems to be frowning and has thin tears in her eyes, just like the style of sick Xi Shi, which is very in line with the aesthetics of talented and beautiful women in this era, so when she walked up to the second floor of Tianxiang Pavilion and the lights were shining brightly, the romantic gentlemen broke out into a burst of warm cheers.
People's attention is on this singer, only Qin Lin doesn't like this type very much, he is drinking tea with his head down, so that he can hear something in the cheering voice, and turns his head to look at the table at the east end:
It turned out to be them!
