Chapter 9 The sound of bells and drums for Qin Huaiyu singing the last watch came from afar, and Chen Xin got up early in high spirits, went to the door next door to kick the door of the sea dog and the stupid monk, and called the door of Liu Minyou and Song Wenxian.

Song Wenxian got up sleepily and asked in a daze, "It's not dawn, who is knocking on the door." ”

Chen Xin said with a smile: "Mr. Song's face is haggard, last night was after the night battle, how was the victory or defeat." ”

Song Wenxian saw clearly that it was Chen Xin at the door, and said with a smile: "The crazy woman is also fighting, the martial queen is more than seventy years old, although she claims to be plump and beautiful, like a teenager, I am afraid that it is not true, if you are not just now, you are not confused, how can you lose to a woman." ”

Chen Xin laughed, this old hooligan temperament is indeed interesting, and said to him after laughing: "Today, I will go to Qingxi by boat first, and then go to Bao'en Temple, do you want to go with Mr. Song." ”

"Go together, go together." As long as Song Wenxian has the opportunity, he wants to be with Chen Xin, dangling in front of the leader at any time, and at this time, he is naturally unambiguous, and hurriedly goes in to wash.

Liu Minyou also agreed loudly inside, Chen Xin went to Nie Hong and the others' house, Nie Hong and Zhou Laifu just came out, Chen Xin called the sea dogs, took the silver and gave them three or two per head, and let them take their respective followers to play.

When everyone was gathered and was about to set off, there was a knock on the door behind him, and Chen Tingdong came out neatly dressed, Chen Xin remembered to forget about this person, Chen Tingdong said loudly: "The general is going to Qingxi, don't you just be a guide." ”

Liu Minyou turned his back to Chen Tingdong, and hurriedly grinned at Chen Xin, this Chen Tingdong is straightforward, but it is very boring to play together. Chen Xin said with a calm face: "I wanted to invite Mr. to come along, but there is an important matter here, and Mr. must be." ”

Chen Tingdong immediately said: "The general's orders are." ”

"The shopkeeper of that day may come to me at any time, although there is a personal guard to guard the luggage, but he is not good at dealing with people, I am worried that I will neglect people, and I will be wronged to stay for a day."

Chen Tingdong arched his hand and said, "General rest assured. Late life will definitely do it. When he had finished speaking, he took a chair out of the room, sat down under the cloister, and said, "I am here to stay." The shopkeeper won't miss it. Chen Xin praised a few words and went out with a few people.

The Huaiqing Bridge where they are located is the www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, which comes from the southeast. Through the Tongji Bridge through the moat into the Tongji Gate Water Gate, the position of entering the city wall is in the Huaiqing Bridge, from the Huaiqing Bridge to the southwest flow, the scriptures De knock, Wuding Bridge, Zhenhuai Bridge out of the Sanshan Gate Water Gate, this waterway is the ten miles of Qinhuai that was preached by later generations, the place of the wind and the moon is called the old courtyard, where there are both official prostitutes of the Teaching Workshop Division, there are also private prostitutes, most of the high-grade green buildings are concentrated there, and another Zhu City is next to the inner bridge of Shangyuan County. It is where the low-grade prostitutes are, and it is called Goolan by the locals, and it is also the origin of calling the low-level brothel the place of Goolan.

Chen Xin had already inquired clearly from Xiao Er, and when he went out, he took them across the Huaiqing Bridge, and then walked south along the riverside. This is the front gate of the Gongyuan, just by the Qinhuai River, covering a wide area, you can imagine that when you see the exam, it must be very lively here.

After passing the Gongyuan, there are some people's courtyards along the river. Almost every house has a bamboo fence or bamboo door in front of the door, Chen Xin and they go out very early, and there are few pedestrians on the road, which seems very quiet.

There are no boats on the Qinhuai River for a while, there is a faint fog left on the river surface, the river water is crystal clear, swimming fish can be seen everywhere on the bank, weeping willows are planted all over the riverside, some willow branches have been close to the water surface, and the wind blows, bringing up bursts of ripples.

Liu Min took a few deep breaths, suddenly felt refreshed, did not feel hard to walk, walked along the river to the head of Wende Bridge, this is an arch bridge, the bridge hole below is higher, it is convenient for boats to cross, they went to the top of the bridge to look at the west, the bank is full of all kinds of painting boats, and there are some buildings and pavilions hidden in the green poplar smoke willows on the south bank.

Song Wenxian looked back at the Gongyuan diagonally opposite, "Talented and beautiful people live across the river, a real match made in heaven." ”

The fat monk suddenly said in the back: "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are." ”

Song Wenxian turned his head to the stupid monk and said, "Fat monk, you are a monk, you know what a cowherd and weaver girl are, and monks are not allowed to sleep with women." ”

"I'm still vulgar, Master said that you can sleep with women."

Chen Xin smiled and took them across the bridge, along the south bank of the river, the old courtyard is located between Wende Bridge and Wuding Bridge, the style of the house is also different from the opposite bank, Zhu Column Qi sparse, carved beams and painted buildings, the window pane bamboo curtain light yarn facing the street, the bank in front of the house is planted with huā grass, dotted with strange stones, elegant and unique.

Song Wenxian shouted: "The scenery of Qinhuai is far better than that of the West River in Beijing, just looking at this pattern is a step higher." ”

Liu Minyou was also a little surprised and asked Chen Xin: "This is a brothel?" Why is it so elegant, don't all the women on TV occupy a few women, shaking their handkerchiefs and shouting, 'Uncle come to play'. ”

Chen Xin couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "What grade is that, those directors are just messing around with the scenery, this is our Ming Dynasty's top club, the kind of one in heaven and earth." ”

Song Wenxian didn't hear the two whispering, and continued to shout there, "I will definitely come here tonight to spend the night, I shouldn't have lingered with the Empress Wu yesterday, it's a pity." ”

Liu Minyou scolded in a low voice: "Old pervert." ”

At this time, there was a sudden "bang" in front, and the water splashed on the bluestone road of the street, and both of them were shocked, and when they looked over, a maid covered her mouth in front of the window on the second floor, and seemed to have jumped, and she was relieved to see that she didn't get drenched, and Ying Ying smiled and said, "A few sons are careful, in the morning, everyone pours water, don't wet the clothes of a few sons." ”

Before they could speak, the maid turned back again. Only then did everyone notice that many places on the street were wet, and there was a loud pouring of water in front of them, and several people hurried to the outer edge of the street to avoid being splashed by the water.

Chen Xin said to Song Wenxian: "Mr. Song, veteran, I don't know if you can smell the fragrance and know women, and deduce which woman is better?" ”

Song Wenxian said: "This is not spiritual, I think this Qinhuai River, it is one out of a hundred, and it is also known as poetry and books, how can rouge be determined." He turned to the stupid monk and said, "Fat monk, right?" ”

Before the stupid monk could answer, a window on the ground floor next to him opened. Several pretty maidservants in plain clothes rolled up their sleeves, revealing their snow-white lotus arms, looking only fifteen or sixteen years old, pouring water out of the wooden basin while chatting in soft Wu language.

Just as three young men in clogs and colorful clothes walked over, each carrying a basket of moss and autumn huā, they passed by several people with a basket on their backs. Several people are full of jasmine fragrance.

A young man walked up to the window and said to the maidservant, "Sister has bought Qiu Huā!" ”

A tall maidservant stretched out her hand and gently rubbed the young man's face, and said with a smile: "I don't want to buy just Mo lì Qiu huā, and Jianlan is it?" ”

"Yes," the young man called another man. took out Jianlan from his back basket and showed it to the woman.

Another maidservant said, "Then hurry up and bring in a basket of Mo Lì and Jianlan, the girls are waiting to use it." ”

The young man happily entered through the gate with a basket on his back, and a woman left the window. When I returned to the courtyard, I could only hear the voice of the woman chattering inside, as if she was dividing the lìhuā, and the remaining three maidservants noticed a few people on the side of the street, and looked at them with silky eyes.

The stupid monk asked, "Mr. Song, why did she wink at me?" ”

"She wants to sleep with you."

"Okay!" The stupid monk screamed, and looked at a few maidservants with wide eyes, those women listened to Song Wenxian's words, and laughed, and a woman with dimples smiled: "The monk is so fat. I'm afraid that the bed will collapse, and the slave family is afraid of eating my mother's board, but Mr. You are coming, and the slave family is happy to serve the bed. ”

Song Wenxian turned his head to look at the door, and the words "Yumian" were written on it. Haha smiled: "The spring water is blue in the sky, draw a boat to listen to the rain sleep, and listen to the rain building." Since the beauty has an appointment, how can there be no reason not to go, tell your bustard, and I want a few of you to accompany you at night. Don't let anyone else's go. ”

Several women covered their mouths and laughed even harder, and the dimple woman said: "That gentleman also wants to help the people of Qingqi, my girl Li is good at purple jade, and Mr. Custody has never heard of it." ”

"It's all booked."

The dimple woman said again: "Sir, it's serious, we're just maidservants, how can we be as proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as those girls, don't make fun of me and others, and hurt people for love." ”

"Naturally, if you take it seriously, you can still deceive you a few little women. Now you can ask your false mother to come out, and pay the pakin first. ”

Several women chattered and said to Song Wenxian: "Then please invite Mr. in, just a moment." ”

Song Wenxian shook his head and went in, and the sea dog smirked: "Why is it so fast, just look at a few houses." ”

Chen Xin also scolded in a low voice: "Old pervert. ”

Liu Minyou shook his head and said to Chen Xin: "This is your teacher." ”

Song Wenxian came out in a moment, a woman held him affectionately, Song Wenxian went to the window and sent a few coins of silver to each of the three maidservants, and several women were even more happy, respectively, and asked Song Wenxian to come early in the evening.

Chen Xin waited for Song Wenxian to come over, and asked him as he walked: "Why did Mr. Song settle down so quickly, these seem to be handmaidens." ”

Song Wenxian touched his beard and said proudly: "There are also bright colors among the maids, those top cards are just some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and by the way, they write some vassal and elegant obscene words. Go to the Qinglou to choose a woman, you have to book it early, and you have to book it early, and you can choose it and look back at it at the end, which may not be as before. ”

Chen Xin opened his mouth, this Song Wenxian was very direct, and the stupid monk asked, "Mr. Song, what is the Red Man?" ”

"The Red Men are the ones who sleep with you, and the Purity people only sing songs."

"I'm going to sleep." ――

According to Song Wenxian's inquiry, a few people went to a wharf where the boat was taken, where there were a few painting boats and fishing boats, even the fishing boats were beautifully decorated, and there were women washing on the painting boats. ”

Liu Minyou had never dealt with a woman in the Qinglou, so he was embarrassed to speak, but he was afraid of being taken by them, so he hurriedly asked: "I'll only take a boat to Qingxi, don't want a girl to accompany me." ”

The maid pointed to the fishing boat and said, "You Qingxi will call the boat lady over there." ”

Liu Minyou didn't want to paint the boat, the decoration of the fishing boat over there was also very beautiful, which was more in line with his appetite, and when he walked to the fishing boat, the bamboo curtains of several fishing boats opened, and a few little women came out.

"Childe wants to take a boat."

"Exactly, what is the price of the ship?"

A boat lady said: "If you sit for a day, it will be one or two." ”

Liu Minyou was taken aback: "It's so expensive." ”

"If the son is too expensive, eight dollars is fine."

Chen Xin went up and asked, "Just take the boat, can you do anything else?" ”

"Naturally, you can, there are cigarettes, tea, food, and lodging on the ship, and eight dollars can be left until this time tomorrow."

"What else?"

The boat lady pursed her lips and laughed in a low voice: "The son is from the north, and the boat lady has to serve the bed." ”

Chen Xin smiled and looked carefully, this boat lady has dark skin, but she looks very watery and has a graceful body, he estimates that Xu Xinsu wants to invite him to the Qinglou of the river house, so he will try this interesting fishing boat first.

He jumped into the boat and looked around, this cabin is directly on the ship set up a mat, with bamboo ribs to prop up, on both sides of the panes, hanging curtains made of light yarn, the cabin is very clean, there is a small coffee table, behind the bed is made, the stern is a cooking utensils, the bow of the ship is a low chair, if you want to see the river view, you can sit there and watch. This kind of prostitution on the Qinhuai River is very interesting, the two of them are boating, there are both scenery and beauty, and there is a unique flavor.

He was very satisfied, and deliberately wanted Liu Min to be fooled, and he didn't tell Liu Min the reason, he immediately asked for five fishing boats, and generously paid one or two taels of silver to each boat lady, and several boat girls happily accepted it and beckoned several other people to get on the boat. Chen Xin advanced to the cabin of his fishing boat.

Song Wenxian looked at the appearance of those boat girls, roughly guessed what was going on, smiled and followed a boat lady on the boat, just got on the boat and touched it a few times when the boat lady helped him, the boat girl was not surprised, and laughed twice.

Liu Minyou didn't know the details, he just thought it was an ordinary pleasure boat, and he took the stupid monk to get on another boat, after he went up, the stupid monk also walked to the shore to go up, and the boat lady hurriedly stopped him and asked him to go to another boat, and the stupid monk said loudly: "I said, let me protect Mr. at any time." ”

The boat lady said angrily: "I am a little woman, and I will not eat your husband." ”

Liu Min said: "Let him come up, he has been with me." ”

The boat lady listened to it for a while, and said, "You two, how can the slave family stand it alone." ”

Liu Min had a strange voice, "This ship is so big, and I don't have so much worry, why can't I stand it." ”

Chen Xin covered his mouth and laughed in the cabin of the fishing boat, and the boat lady on his boat left the shore with a penny, and helped him roll up the bamboo curtain. ”

Chen Xin looked at the slender boat lady with a pretty bow and a slender body, and his heart was moved, he couldn't imagine that his dream of Qinglou in the Ming Dynasty started like this, it was really unique, and it was more interesting than the clubhouse.

He beckoned to the boat girl, the boat girl meekly came over and sat next to him, Chen Xin hugged him with one hand, ready to cultivate his feelings first, the warm nephrite was in his arms, and the dream of the Qinglou finally began.

At this time, I only heard the stupid monk roar, and the boat lady said: "I have booked five boats, but there is still one empty left, don't come up, I'm going to drive the boat." Ah, don't go on the ......" probably another argument.

Chen Xin thought that after Liu Minyou got on the boat, the boat lady would serve him to sleep, and maybe he would jump into the river so cramped, he laughed proudly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of water, and the boat lady shouted: "Oh, grab the penny." ”

Chen Xin stood up in shock, only to see a piece of water in the river fluttering, and Liu Minyou was still anxiously looking for something on the boat, while shouting: "Silly monk, grab the penny...... quickly"

The stupid monk doesn't know how to water, his hands are fluttering wildly on the water, and he can't catch the penny, but is getting closer and closer to the middle of the river, Chen Xin hurriedly called himself the boat lady to lean over, leaned down and grabbed the stupid monk's hand, and was about to pull him up, the stupid monk pulled his hand violently and grabbed the boat gang, Chen Xin fell into the river with a thud...... (To be continued.)
