Xu Mingyuan turned to look at the two of them and frowned slightly: "If she knew, she would definitely blame me for not bringing him." ”

Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou were slightly stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, with Zeng Qingyi's temperament, it was really like this, and they couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Binjie settled the account, and the three of them walked out of the drunken Xiaolou together, stopped taking the carriage, and walked directly towards Fengming Street.

Fengming Street is next to Zuixiao Tower, and it can be said that several of the best courtyards in Shuzhou City are on this street, and this street is only surnamed Zhou.

Xu Mingyuan is quite familiar with Beicheng, but he doesn't know much about Fengming Street, after all, he doesn't have a few Tongbao in his pocket in Shuzhou City, where is the money to drink any flower wine.

However, he still heard of the name of forgetting the worries, after all, this is known as the first golden cave in Shuzhou City, not the rich and noble people in Shuzhou City, and they don't even dare to enter the door.

I heard that if you enter the gate of forgetting worries, you don't spend dozens of taels of silver, and you are embarrassed to come out, even if you spend a lot of money, it often appears here, which shows the prosperity of forgetting worries and building fame.

Forget the worry building dare to mention such a price, it has its own confidence, not to mention that the girls in the forget worry building are all one in a hundred, and the few oirans in charge are even more famous, and even the sons and brothers of other states and counties are often famous.

Moreover, the Forget Worry Building was opened by Zhou Binjie's father, and how many people from the Bai family standing behind the Zhou family dared to provoke it, so although the Zhou family controlled most of the Qinglou business in Shuzhou City, no one dared to come to the door to make trouble.

Walking on Fengming Street, most of the people who came and went were sons of families and wealthy businessmen, in groups of three or five, laughing and laughing into the courtyard on the side of the road.

Dawan is still martial, and he is not ashamed of being a prostitute. Even the scholar is also interested in swords and prostitutes, if any scholar can win the heart of the Qinglou woman with lyrics and songs, it can also be called an elegant talk.

Xu Mingyuan felt that this matter was a bit bullshit, he was used to seeing people's warmth and coldness all the way, and knew that these women who had fallen into the Qinglou had their own hardships and sadness.

The most affectionate is not a scholar, those poor women who gave the silver they have accumulated over the years to the gentleman, and in the end, a few of them really ended up well, and there were the most empty people and money.

The green building is called the yard in Zhou Binjie's mouth, because he has grown up among these green buildings since he was a child, so in his opinion, it is not much different from his own backyard.

The Qinglou on Fengming Street has its own style, and there is no scene of the Qinglou woman soliciting guests at the door, and the Qinglou is chic and elegant, more like a different courtyard. There were a few neat young men standing at the door, and if a guest came, they would smile and welcome them in.

The three of them passed by a lot of green buildings, and the little guy at the door naturally recognized his own young master and young master, and they all saluted respectfully, and some of them grew up with Zhou Binjie since childhood, and dared to say hello a few times.

Zhou Binjie was not annoyed, and sometimes took out some broken silver to reward them, and said a few words to them with a smile.

"When I was a child, I played with them the most, and the girls in the yard also loved me, although they have gone a lot now, but I think they are simpler." Zhou Binjie said softly, as if explaining his previous behavior.

Xu Mingyuan nodded, and said a little seriously: "Little fatty, in fact, I think if you take over these yards, you will be a good master for these girls and little girls." ”

"Actually, my father did a better job than me, otherwise their life would be even more difficult, and there is a girl in the yard who doesn't like him, but because my mother is in charge of it, my father can only love and dare not really love." Zhou Binjie smiled.

"It seems that your father is also an interesting person, lingering in the sea of flowers and not touching a leaf, what a realm this is." Xu Mingyuan nodded and said.

"My dad also said that you are an interesting person, and I want to meet you." Zhou Binjie said with a smile.

After walking for a while, a large courtyard near the lake appears in front of you, two lanterns are hung at the gate of the tall courtyard, and the three words "forget your worries and build a book" on the horizontal plaque. Looking over the half-zhang high courtyard wall, you can see the exquisite attics in the courtyard, the sound of silk and bamboo is pleasant, not at all like the frolicking of ordinary green buildings.

There were four young men standing in green clothes with handsome faces in front of the door, and when they saw Xu Mingyuan and the others, they hurriedly saluted and said, "Young master, young master." ”

Bai Molou nodded slightly, and Zhou Binjie asked with a smile, "Is my cousin inside?" ”

The slightly older guy nodded and said, "Young Master Cousin has been here for a while, and he should be in Qiuxiang Mansion now." ”

"Okay, let's buy wine and drink together, I'll just go in by myself." Zhou Binjie smiled and threw a broken piece of silver to the little guy who answered, and said to Xu Mingyuan: "Brother Yuan, then let's go in." With that, he led the way into the courtyard.

"Young Master Xie." The four servants all thanked each other.

Xu Mingyuan smiled, and Bai Molou also followed Zhou Binjie into the door.

Speaking of which, this is really Xu Mingyuan's first time entering the Qinglou, although on the road I heard those Jianghu people and ordinary people boasting about which Qinglou's girl Shui Ling and which one could play, but their master and apprentice did not pass through the door of the Qinglou once.

As soon as the three of them entered the door, a delicate girl came up with a lantern and said with a smile: "Young master, you haven't been here for a few days, and you brought your cousin and friends today." ”

Xu Mingyuan fixed his eyes, this girl was thirteen or fourteen years old, with willow eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, and a long braid combed behind her head, and her appearance was beautiful and lovely. It should be because he lives in the green building, and there is already a bit of charm between his eyebrows and eyes. However, this charm is not too strong, but it makes the little face more charming and not vulgar.

Xu Mingyuan looked at her, the girl was also looking at Xu Mingyuan, she was not uncommon to see Bai Molou, but it was the first time she had seen Xu Mingyuan, who was dressed shabby but could be friends with Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou. If you remove the half-worn green shirt on Xu Mingyuan, he is really a handsome scholar.

Zhou Binjie stretched out his finger and flicked the girl's forehead, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, I don't know the rules more and more, why did I become a nymphomaniac when I saw Brother Yuan for the first time?" ”

The girl who was called Ling'er by Zhou Binjie rubbed her forehead with bared teeth, stuck out her tongue at Zhou Binjie and said: "Who made the young master's friend look so handsome, of course the young master is also handsome, but don't people always like the new and hate the old." ”

"You girl, you have always been unable to keep your mouth shut, you go ahead, go to Qiuxianglou." Zhou Binjie waved his hand with a little crying and laughing.

"If you keep your mouth shut, you'll be able to say a lot of things." Miss Ling'er muttered, but she was also obedient and wanted to walk forward with the lantern. Zhou Binjie and Xu Mingyuan also followed her forward.

It is a large courtyard with dozens of small two-story buildings in between, all of which have bright light shining through the windows. Each small building has an elegant name, and the sound of silk and bamboo comes from the building, which is intoxicating.

And between the small buildings, there is a high platform, there is a small pavilion built on the platform, and the banquet is also lit by lighting, the Qing people sit aside or play the piano, or play the pipa, the people on the table push the cup and change the lamp, the sound of talking and laughing rises and falls, but it is also lively.

There are many high platforms, small buildings are staggered, and the sound of wine orders and laughter can be heard everywhere. There are also many elegant landscapes on both sides of the winding path under the stage, and if the rockery is present, all kinds of precious plants and trees can be seen everywhere.

And there are a lot of lanterns hanging on both sides of the path, enough to illuminate the road, and the role of the guide maid is more to guide the guests who do not often come to forget their worries to find a place, otherwise this winding path and all kinds of small buildings must make people dizzy.

Xu Mingyuan looked at the one-zhang-high stone platforms around him with great interest, and the stone platforms were connected by wooden corridors, so that acquaintances could visit and toast.

Zhou Binjie and the coachman of Bai Molou followed a distance of a foot behind them at some point, and they were silent without making a sound.

"Young master, there have been a lot of people in the courtyard these days, and they don't understand the rules, but many sisters have suffered. If it weren't for the fear of causing trouble in the yard, I would have slapped it in the past, but the Jianghu people who know martial arts are not the ones that the sisters dare to do. Ling'er, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke, and there was some grievance between the words.

"What! Is there such a thing? When Zhou Binjie heard this, his voice couldn't help but mention, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Does my father know?" What did he say? ”

Ling'er shook her head and said: "I don't know if the master knows, anyway, the Qingqi people in our courtyard have been taken advantage of in the past few days, even I brought in a thief-eyed Jianghu person the day before yesterday, he wanted to take advantage of me, fortunately I was clever and avoided." ”

"These things don't seem to know the rules of our yard." Zhou Binjie's voice gradually became colder: "Tomorrow I will talk to everyone, the rules of the yard are the rules, no matter what kind of people he is, don't be polite if he slaps the past, if something happens, the yard will carry it." I think my dad thought the same way. ”

"I knew that the young master and the old master were the best." Ling'er Jiao smiled and said back, with a happy face.

Xu Mingyuan also smiled and nodded, it seems that Zhou Binjie's father and son are really loved by the people in these courtyards. However, businessmen put profit first, and how many people can be like their father and son, if they offend the Jianghu people, more people may choose to ignore those Qingqi people.

At this moment, the sound of a cup falling to the ground sounded from the high platform beside him, accompanied by a woman's scream, and the originally moving sound of the piano also stopped abruptly.

Xu Mingyuan and the others all looked up, only to see three young people on the high platform, two of them were sitting, and in front of them stood a trembling girl, and the previous scream should have been made by her.

And the young man standing with a scar on his face was grabbing the arm of another woman dressed in a light blue gauze dress and a white light veil, and shouted and scolded: "Uncle spent dozens of taels of silver, what's wrong with letting you take off two clothes?" This money is in another place, and our three brothers can sleep with one oiran each. If you don't take it off, the master will take it off himself. ”

When the two sitting young men heard this, they also laughed and said: "That's it, it's not just a broken green building, if you annoy our Heshuo Sanxiong, you will demolish this broken yard." ”

"It's Sister Su Yimeng, young master, you save her." Ling'er also recognized who the woman was, and pulled Zhou Binjie's sleeve a little nervously and said.

"I don't know what is alive or dead, Kuroko, go and call someone." Zhou Binjie looked at the person on the high platform with a cold gaze and said coldly.

The black-clad coachman answered and walked away quickly.
