***

Outside the window, the willows are dragging the water, and the aftermath of the boats swinging open a piece of square and flat again, and the piano drill stares at the window for a long time, with a touch of loneliness in his eyes.

At this time, another fifteen or sixteen-year-old beauty walked to Qin Cao's side, she was holding a bright falling horse bun, her posture was graceful like a willow branch in spring, her eyes were bright, her ears were falling double pearls, and she was full of the beautiful and gentle state of a woman in the water town.

Her faint distant mountain eyebrows also frowned slightly, and she said lightly: "Sister Qin Cao, my sister is so sad, seeing that this Oiran contest is coming, my sister hasn't even found the first new word, alas! That day, the little prince of Nanyang County Wangfu promised to ask Mr. Xiaoshan to help me write the words, but now that several days have passed, I haven't even seen a figure, I'm afraid that something is wrong, alas! ”

Qin Cao saw that she was worried, so he comforted her softly: "Ming Peimo should be in a hurry, there is still a month before the Oiran Competition, and it is not difficult to ask Mr. Xiaoshan for the first masterpiece with the little prince's family strength." ”

The sadness on the face of the beauty named Ming Pei was not reduced by Qin Cao's comfort, and her warm lips pursed slightly: "Sister Qin Cao is afraid that she doesn't know, that Mr. Xiaoshan is quite lonely and arrogant, and he doesn't even pay attention to Su University;

My sister heard that there was a time when a scholar from Su University asked to see him, but Mr. Xiaoshan refused and said: Today, I have not had time to see half of my old guests in the political hall.

From this point of view, although the little prince was full of promises, he did not see that he could ask for the word Mr. Xiaoshan! ”

Mr. Xiaoshan is the famous Yan Jidao, and now he is a pusher in Kaifeng Mansion; When Ming Pei mentioned Su Dongpo, Qin Cao's long eyelashes hung down unconsciously, and then blinked slightly, and everything disappeared in the autumn water and smoke in his eyes;

Ming Pei didn't notice this, and sighed to himself: "No one is better than that Li Xiangxian, Bachelor Yang easily turned her into an Oiran with a song of Yanqiu, we are fellow villagers with Bachelor Yang, but we haven't encountered such a good thing, after all, we are hard-working." ”

Ming Pei is full of knots, Qin Cao's heart is soft, she has never mentioned that she knows Yang Yi, this is just difficult to enter Beijing, but Ming Pei, follow the left and right to teach her piano skills, and did not plan to visit Yang's house, although Han Bier treats her very kindly, and her affection is earnest, but Qin Cao thinks of her identity, and finally feels a little inappropriate.

When I was in Yang's house, I got a few notes from Yang Yi, and those poems were all excellent works, so I took out a song and let Ming Pei sing it!

She comforted Ming Pei softly: "Sister, please practice the piano with peace of mind, if the little prince of Nanyang County Mansion can't get Mr. Xiaoshan's masterpiece, my sister will try to help you think of a way when the time comes." ”

Ming Pei immediately hugged her happily when she heard this, and said happily: "Really? Sister is willing to go to the University of Sioux to ask for words? ”

Qin Cao twisted lightly on her little waist, and said angrily: "Mo Hu said, I have long been cut off from Master Su. ”

"Who is that sister looking for a new word?" Ming Pei couldn't help but worry again, like a flower like a wind and rain blowing, it immediately dimmed again, the piano exercise Qinglan ancient temple has been dry for five years, who else can she know in Beijing?

Before Qin Cao could answer, a girl in a blue back walked in and said to the two of them, "Girl, the guest is here!" ”

Qin Cao hurriedly explained to Ming Pei: "Sister, be careful, now my sister has no foundation in Beijing, and once these military people play tricks, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with." ”

"Sister, I don't want to go! These people are vulgar and unliterate, and they are extremely annoying, but they are the commanders of Ma Bujun, and my sister wants to gain a foothold in Tokyo, but she can't afford to be offended. ”

"That sister went in with the thrush, if these people have any excesses, you hurry up and let the thrush come out and call me."

"Well, my sister knows, my sister rests first, and my sister goes!"

Yang Yi was wearing a Confucian robe, with a brocade leather belt around his waist and a purple light coat on the outside, looking elegant and free, like a rich boy who entered Beijing to take the exam.

Led by Bao Yi, the two of them rode to the old Caomen Street, the street was full of people, bustling, passing by the Kaifeng Mansion by the Bianhe River, Yang Yi suddenly remembered someone, so he smiled and said: "Bao Yi, what do you have to do with the Bao Longtu of Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

Bao Yi scratched his head and replied curtly: "I want to have a relationship, but it really doesn't matter!" ”

"Wouldn't you also admire Bao Longtu's name and change your surname to Bao, right? Honestly, what is your original surname? Yang Yiyi opened the trial sternly.

There are not many people with the surname Bao, during the Renzong period, Kaifeng Mansion produced a Bao Qingtian, the good name was passed on to the country, when Wang Shaoxi River opened, several Qiang leaders who surrendered envied Bao Zhengqing's name, and rushed to let Emperor Shenzong give them the surname Bao, and 'Bao' became a popular surname for a while.

Seeing Yang Yi looking at himself suspiciously, Bao Yi was furious: "My lord, I am not a Qiang person, my ancestors are surnamed Bao for eighteen generations, and they are more Bao than Bao Longtu!" ”

"Hahaha......"

The two talked and laughed, and came to a big house on the old Caomen Street, the gate was written with the words "Yilufang", the gate was hidden in the willow shade and green, and a pear blossom poked out from the pink wall, swaying like snow;

As soon as the two of them dismounted in front of the door, a doorman came up to give a salute and led the horse away, Bao Yi introduced: "My lord, the owner of this Yilufang is called Su Mingpei, sixteen years old, delicate and delicate, and only entered Beijing from Qiantang to open a workshop in the first month. ”

"Yes, the wind is good for the night and the dew is for autumn, let's go!"

Yang Yi said and took the lead to go inside, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are shaded, the green columns and green curtains, the pavilions and pavilions are carved and the beams are painted, and the charm of elegance and pleasure is exuded everywhere, just like the residence of those high-ranking people.

There are many brothels like this kind in Tokyo, which is considered the most advanced brothel, if the large courtyard usually has only one or two famous prostitutes, the others are Yahuan, handymen, cooks, porters, nursing yards and the like, specially for the owner of the service, at most there are a few good Yahuan to undertake the music, dance;

The owner alone has to support a large group of people, and they usually sell their art but not their bodies, which requires them to have excellent talents and beautiful appearance.

Yang Yi entered the courtyard, Li Yizhong, Xie Dongsheng, as well as Yu Xing and Lu Zhen all came out together, these people were all born in the class straight guards, all of them were high-spirited men of more than 1.8 meters, after the baptism of blood and fire, they all had a killing aura of eagles and wolves.

As soon as they saw Yang Yi, Li Yizhong and the others gave a strict military salute;

Yang Yi looked happy: "I said a few brothers!" Do you need to look like this? Are we here for a drink? Or are you going to rob the money and rob the? Hahaha......"

Several people burst into laughter, and Li Yizhong said with a solemn face: "Didn't my lord say that as a soldier, no matter when and where, you must look like a soldier?" Hehe, then again, as long as the adult gives an order, let's kill the Liao Kingdom and snatch the princess of the Yue Kingdom back to the adult......"

"Look for death!" Yang Yi kicked out, Li Yizhong was already on guard, and slipped faster than a rabbit.

With these hot-blooded men, Yang Yi was in a good mood, and his behavior became uninhibited, but he was despised by a pair of bright eyes.

Ming Pei and Yahuan Thrush were in the hall, and when they saw Li Yizhong and the others coming in, they were a handsome and elegant young scholar, and they were secretly happy, the host and guest were so elegant and elegant, and a few stout martial artists were afraid that they would have to be restrained, so they didn't have to worry about these people being strong.

But listening to this handsome scholar's opening is to rob money and women, Miss Ming Pei really can't accept this change, alas! It's really a golden jade, and it's ruined! While Ming Pei despised Yang Yi fiercely, he was also secretly worried about his own situation.

She has only been in Beijing for a short time, this Yilufang has only been open for a month, and there are no powerful benefactors in Beijing, and she is like duckweed.

The Great Song Dynasty used literature to control the military, and the status of the martial artists was very low, and the second-rank military generals had to bow their heads in front of the fourth-rank civil officials, and even the seventh- and eighth-grade civil officials dared to proudly despise them;

The same is true of the whole social atmosphere, the common people privately call the generals thieves with the army, so that there is a saying that good iron does not fight Ding, and good men are not soldiers;

Those daughters' families would rather marry a broken scholar than a general; It is normal for Ming to admire such a talented prostitute and look down on martial artists like Li Yizhong.

Yang Yi and a few people entered the hall with a smile, there are some famous calligraphy and paintings hanging in the hall, there are pine plants on the small table near the window, and the small screen is painted with a picture of the lake view and autumn mountains, which decorates the interior very elegantly and chic.

There are a total of six small tables in the hall, and Yang Yi and the six people each have a few and sit in the back;

Li Yizhong shouted to the maid waiting in the hall: "Our adults have arrived, hurry up and serve wine and food, and let Miss Mingpei come and wait for us quickly." ”

"Son, let's go." A girl squatted down and walked out of the hall quickly.

Soon the wine and food will be served, the silver plate and jade cup, like the prince's house, the dishes are exquisite, the mountains and seas are rare and fragrant;

Li Yizhong immediately raised his glass and said: "My lord, you fought Huanzhou, raided the Xiwei well, and beat the Western Xia to the ground, it's a pity!" We have not been able to follow the side of the adult, it is a great regret of life, there is nothing to say today, I wait for the adult three cups, the adult please! ”

Yang Yi raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this today, your military rank is not low now, you can defend Gyeonggi with peace of mind, if you want to go to the battlefield, I will take care of you when I have the opportunity in the future, come, our brothers have a good drink today." ”

Everyone drank three cups, and a string of small chirps came from outside the door, and the piano music in the hall immediately sounded, ethereal, like the clear sound of Luo Shen wading in the water.

At the small door, a beautiful woman walked out, wearing a large-sleeved cardigan, a long skirt tied to the waist of Xiaoman, a falling horse bun on her head, a jasper step swaying between the buns, and a pink neck as slender as jade;

The lake-green bust seemed to be unable to wrap the twin peaks, revealing a touch of white and tender milk like snow, and a tempting ravine in the middle;

She walked into the hall to the beat of the music, like a weak willow supporting the wind, and the big sleeves of the water green azure stretched out with the jade arm, like a light cloud on the lake with water mist and onions.

A pair of eyes with smoke and dew, looking forward to life, I saw her dancing softly, leading her neck and singing:

WU Shanqing,

Yue Shanqing,

The green mountains on both sides of the strait greet each other,

Who knows the parting?

Jun tears,

Concubine tears,

The concentric knot of the belt is not completed,

The tide has flattened by the river.
