Chapter 216: Red Sleeve Hidden Sword (I)

The woman in the dust, no matter how arrogant she is, does not dare to offend the guests easily, especially such a fierce guest with an entourage.

The woman saw that the dispute below was inextricable, so she said: "A few guests, it is better to come in and rest, and the slave family will make tea and make amends, and today's matter will be revealed." ”

If there are reserved guests, it is reasonable not to accept other guests. Mi Rucheng also knew this truth, and while he was a little angry, he also wanted to find the field again, and shouted: "That's it!" ”

Then he strode into the painting boat that was parked on the shore.

The exterior of the boat is decorated with lights, and each boat looks similar, and the interior decoration reflects the unique style of the boat, which is usually decorated by the girls themselves.

Such a two-story ship will always have a lot of rooms, and while entertaining guests to drink and enjoy the scenery, there will also be private rooms. While the general layout of the painting boat is based on beauty, this one looks very elegant and quiet, and the layout in the cabin is very simple. This is also related to the mentality of the woman on the painting boat.

The woman came out with the tea herself, and the maid was very ashamed, not only was she taken advantage of, but she was also humiliated by someone who came to the door, and she also had to make amends to her own lady. But Miss has a word first, and she can only bear it.

"The maid Cui'er is not sensible, and I hope that the three distinguished guests Haihan."

When the woman spoke, her gaze swept over Xu Xuanzhu, and her gaze paused, probably thinking that it was incredible that there was such a beautiful man in the world. Mi Rucheng's cough made her return to her original position.

Before, it was Mi Rucheng's boatman who first beat the maid with an oar, but now he took the initiative to provoke, and the woman was not annoyed. Very politely confessed his mistake to the visitor on behalf of the maid. Mi Rucheng was still very high-flying before. At this time, I also lowered my mentality. After taking two sips of tea, the woman smiled a little with relief on her face.

Liu Yu estimated that after that, he would have to drive the guests out on the pretext of entertaining other guests.

"Girl, you're alone here?"

Liu Yu walked to the front of the cabin, lifted the bead curtain and looked at the ship's board, turned around and asked.

"The banquet was held outside the party members in the city, and there were not a few sisters who were invited to Qinhuaihe, and the slave family had guests to make an appointment in advance, so they stayed on the boat alone. When it is a housekeeper. ”

The dusty women who generally operate on the boat usually have families and rooms on the shore. And the boat is just a place for them to "work", there are many women who are actually businessmen or musicians or pianists' wives, just to continue to find an errand on the boat, this is a place to entertain people with sound and color, to be romantic overnight, most women will not provide this service to strange guests.

If you want to talk about Fengyue, you have to talk about feelings, and you have to see if a woman can see it. This is what makes the Qinhuai River woman different from the Qinglou women in other places.

Liu Yu nodded and looked at Mi Rucheng. Meaning to ask him if he wants to go. Mi Rucheng finally came in and sat down, and he had a good impression of this woman. Leaving and reluctant, it seems that there is something unruly to stay. Between two fires.

At this time, there was a commotion at the door, and it turned out that the owner of the painting boat had come and had an argument with the retinue of the Mi family who were guarding outside the painting boat.

Mi Rucheng and Liu Yu and his wife walked out, the quarrel below seemed to be very fierce, and the people who came were not good at each other, with two or three entourages almost drowned in the Mi family's entourage, they were still very arrogant.

"Several distinguished guests are also out to seek recreation, and to make money in harmony."

The woman saw that the painting boat was out in a mess, and if she was held accountable, it would be difficult for her to explain, so she had to come out to persuade her. Waiting for the person to reveal his appearance under the lantern carried by the servant, Liu Yu subconsciously thought of a person, Wang Hu, when he first saw Wang Hu Wang Da Shao, his arrogant appearance was very similar to the person in front of him. Relying on the power and power in the family, the waist is hard.

"Young Master Fang, please come in." The woman greeted the visitor.

Liu Yu remembered that the woman had said that Fang Yuan was outside Yunyun, and her heart said that it was possible that this Fang Gongzi and that Fang Yuan were the same family? It's a pity that he didn't know anything about local affairs when he first came to Guidi, but fortunately, the imperial court had already arranged secret agents in the Jianghuai area, and Liu Yuxin said that after a detailed investigation, he wouldn't be so blind and didn't know anything.

Liu Yu saw that Mi Rucheng was unwilling, so he pulled him with a smile and said, "Let's go, change the family, drink and have fun." ”

"I've heard of this surnamed Fang for a long time, but he is also a businessman, and he only relied on the fact that he gave a lot of gifts to those dignitaries and dignitaries on weekdays, so he mixed up with the garrison of the city defense camp for the grandson of the head of the Zhang family of his family, and he couldn't swallow this breath!"

The Fang family is a large local household, with a lot of financial resources, and the first strategy of the Huai King when he ran the Huai Land was to win over the local large households, establish his kingdom with the connections and money of the large households, and open a money village to recruit troops. Many large local families rose at that time, and this Fang family was only a "nouveau riche", only in recent years, it was very strong, and they donated a lot of money and food, and the imperial court also gave their family a vacancy in the city defense camp, and was handed over to the eldest grandson Fang Tinghan by Fang Luo, the head of the Fang family, who was the "Fang Yuanwai" in the mouth of the woman in the painting boat.

Today's Fang family's annual ancestor worship banquet, Fang Luo is still as publicized as before, spending thousands of taels of silver to extravagantly feast, and the previous person is Fang Luo's youngest grandson Fang Tingyu, who is considered a gentleman, in the final analysis, he is only a descendant of the Shangjia family, and his social status is average.

If it is the child of an ordinary housekeeper, Mi Rucheng is still very jealous, after all, there is a clear distinction between businessmen and officials. But the gentleman who came out of the Shangjia family, he didn't have any jealousy at all, because the Mi family's business was very large, and the officials of Jiankang City took good care of him, which also bred Mi Rucheng's arrogance.

"Let's go, let's go in together, the little brother doesn't believe that the surnamed Fang dares to drive away guests!"

On the one hand, Mi Rucheng didn't want to lose face in front of Liu Yu, and on the other hand, he had a good impression of the woman who didn't even know her name, and felt that it was a disturbing thing for such a woman to be ruined by the Fang family's gentleman. So his stubborn temper came up, and he had to pull Liu Yu and his wife into the painting boat again, not giving Fang Tingyu face.

"Three distinguished guests...... You ......"

The woman had already served tea and was about to play the piano to cheer up, but she didn't expect the three guests who had been preparing to leave before to return. This time, not only did the three masters come in, but they also brought their retinues, all with sticks in their hands, as if they were deliberately provoking.

Mi Rucheng sat down on the guest chair with a big grin, and said loudly: "I also want to see Miss's piano skills below, why don't you pay for this tea?" ”

Fang Tingyu originally planned to take advantage of the family to hold a banquet to steal the wonderful person he had admired for a long time, so he didn't want to show off and only brought two personal servants, both of whom were short and unbeaten. The aura was weak, Fang Tingyu slapped the table as if he was about to get angry when he heard this, but when he saw so many people, he still held back, and said in an unkind tone: "This benevolent brother, do you know who is down there?" ”

"I don't care who you are!" Mi Rucheng took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, "These, but it's enough to cover this painting boat?" ”

Fang Tingyu sneered: "It seems that Brother Ren is not from Jiankang City, I don't know the relationship between Lu Dao and Jiankang Zhou Duwei Sima, today I also invited Zhou Duwei Sima to come together, if Brother Ren is interested, I can introduce you to it!" ”

Mi Rucheng didn't expect Fang Tingyu to recognize Sima Zhou Ying, the commander of Jiankang, this Zhou Ying is the trusted advisor of King Huai, young and promising is the son of the Zhou family, a big local gatekeeper, and King Huai intends to marry the lord of Minjun to Zhou Ying as his wife, although the official position of Sima is not high, but no one in Jiankang City dares to offend Zhou Ying. Whoever offends Zhou Ying is equivalent to offending Lord Min and King Huai.

Mi Ru was still aggressive, and he couldn't help but feel stunned when he heard this, he definitely couldn't afford to offend Zhou Ying with his identity. He got up and wanted to leave with an excuse, but was pressed back into the chair by Liu Yu with a smile, Liu Yu didn't plan to argue with people here for no reason, but when he saw that his friends were bullying people instead of being bullied, he wanted to come forward.

As for Zhou Yingqi, Liu Yuelai had investigated in detail before.

"Lord Min is in danger, as the fiancΓ© of the future son of Huaidi, Zhou Duwei Sima is still in the mood to look for flowers and ask Liu?"

When Liu Yu said this, Mi Rucheng immediately realized that this Fang Tingyu was scaring him. Now the entire Huaidi is preparing for the imperial court envoys to enter the Huaidi, as the advisor next to the King of Huai, where does Zhou Ying have the time to come out and be happy? Thinking about it again, this Fang Tingyu made it clear that he came to meet a beautiful woman privately, how could he bring his friends here, unless he had a special habit.

"Lord Min is about to return to Huainan safely, why can't Zhou Duwei Sima withdraw?"

Mi Rucheng was furious, and shouted angrily at the servant: "Now this ship has been chartered by this son, send off guests!" ”

Several servants rushed up and wanted to "invite" Fang Tingyu to get off the painting boat, but they pushed and shoved people out of the window and pushed people out of the painting boat, only to hear "Poof!" With a bang, the man fell into the river.

"Help! Don't get killed! ”

Liu Yu was about to beckon Yang Lie and the others to go out to save people, when he saw lanterns lit on the shore, and a young boy ran up quickly and arranged for his subordinates to save the people in the water.

When Fang Tingyu was fished up from the river, and the person was already dizzy from the water, the young man who saved the person asked nervously: "Brother Xian, what is going on?" ”

Fang Tingyu pointed at Mi Rucheng and said, "Brother Zhou, it's them...... Ahem, push the little brother into the water! ”

Only then did Liu Yu and Mi Rucheng know that Fang Tingyu was not lying, and he really made an appointment with Sima Zhou, the commander of Jiankang, to be here to have fun.

Zhou Ying is not as low-key as Fang Tingyu, he comes out for recreation, and he brings a lot of entourage, and half of them are official errands. Mi Rucheng was horrified in his heart, if Zhou Ying was convicted of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and he was sent to prison, it would be difficult to come up with it again. The security yamen of Jiankang City still gives Zhou Ying a lot of face, and Zhou Ying can be said to be effortless to treat a businessman with low social status.

Zhou Ying sneered and looked at Mi Rucheng and Liu Yu and his wife, as if he would let the entourage behind him take someone to do things at any time.

Mi Rucheng took two steps back, nervous in his heart, as if he was thinking of a solution. Yang Lie and the others on the side had already pressed their hands on the stick, and the seemingly long stick in their hands actually contained a good thing, a stick with a sharp sword, and the hilt and scabbard were hidden by the appearance of the stick.

The guards understood that even if they fought to the death, they must protect the safety of Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu, but they would startle the snake like this, and the original plan would be frustrated. (To be continued......)
