"Qingyang, it's been almost three months since the last time I went to Qinhuai River, you were going to take the government exam a few days ago, and you didn't bother, but now it's finally free, don't you go and see, relax and relax."

Yang Tingshu said these words with a smile, Zheng Xunrui has already understood the meaning, after more than half a year, he can be regarded as understanding, in fact, going to the Qinhuai River, it is indeed not as dirty as later generations imagined, many scholars, including some famous officials, often go to the Qinhuai River, this is an open secret, everyone does not think there is anything remarkable, his own experience is also like this, no one will care about Qinhuai River, but being divorced will cause everyone to discuss.

After a hurried dinner, the two took a carriage and headed in the direction of the Qinhuai River.

Midsummer passes quietly, early autumn comes, the climate is very pleasant, the climate in the south is much warmer than in the north, so at this time, it is often the most lively time in the Qinhuai River.

What the two of them saw was still a bustling crowd, still rows of red lanterns, the willow trees were still green, gently fluttering in the wind, the number of flower boats in the Qinhuai River was a little more, and if you want to sit on such a flower boat, it is not something that ordinary people can afford, at least twenty taels of silver are needed, which is enough for ordinary people to maintain their lives for two years.

When he slowly walked towards Shengze's homecoming, Zheng Xunrui finally spoke.

"Brother Huaidou, have you been here several times, and you have also met Shopkeeper Xu and Miss Liu Yin."

"Count you smart, I've seen Shopkeeper Xu twice, and I've seen Miss Liu Yin once, but the situation is different now, Miss Liu Yin's fame is great, with your magnolia flower order, her worth has soared, ordinary people don't want to see it at all, of course, it's different if you go."

"I knew you would say that, Miss Liu Yin is famous, what does it matter to me, that is because people have their own skills, they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I am ashamed of myself, people rely on their own skills to be sought after by everyone, my magnolia flower order, can be regarded as one of the Liu Yin girls."

"Forget it, I said you won't believe it, you are always so calm, believe it or not, I stood here and shouted, just say that if life is only as clear as the first sight, you see how this Qinhuai River will react."

"Just kidding, just kidding, if you say it, I'll turn around and run, hmph, but I can always run."

Yang Tingshu laughed.

Sheng Ze's homecoming house is in front of you, but there are a lot of people at the door, some are entering, some are watching from the side, and the bustard mother is welcoming guests with a smile on her face at the door.

At this time, Zheng Xunrui was really a little surprised, along the way I also saw a few Qinglou, the business is far less than here, Shengze Guijia can be said to be a good place, you must know that the people who go in are regarded as the gold owners by the shopkeeper and the bustard's mother, and the wealth on them continues to flow to the Qinglou.

Of course, the Qinglou on the Qinhuai River needs to have a certain background, there is a big shopkeeper behind every Qinglou here, but the big shopkeeper never comes forward, and everyone is just guessing and discussing the background of the big shopkeeper, if you earn so much wealth, how can you not make people blush, not to mention that the yamen comes to find trouble, even if it is a ruffian to make trouble, the Qinglou is unbearable.

The bustard's mother had already seen Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu.

The smart bustard mother will not shout loudly, if you let the next few families know that Zheng Xunrui, who once wrote down the poems in his life, if he only saw the poem for the first time, he would not come over to fight the autumn wind, and pull Zheng Xunrui to drink and write poems, at least he would leave some poems, Sheng Ze's return to the house would be tantamount to giving away his wealth, and Zheng Xunrui had some accidents here, if it was known by people with ulterior motives, it would be difficult to clean up if he came to make trouble.

The lesson of the last time, the nanny kept it in mind.

While smiling and greeting everyone, the bustard mother took the time to order the little maids around her.

The little servant nodded and quickly entered the house.

Yang Tingshu and Zheng Xunrui didn't want to join in the fun, they paced slowly nearby, not in a hurry to get in.

"Young Master Yang, Young Master Zheng, the two of you are distinguished guests, you haven't been to Shengze's homecoming courtyard for a long time."

The sudden appearance of Xu Fo's family surprised both Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu.

Xu Fojia wore a hat on his head, a veil on his face, and a loose robe covering his body, if he didn't speak, no one would really be able to recognize him.

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Xu, congratulations, the business of Shengze Homecoming House is so prosperous, the shopkeeper Xu must be a source of wealth."

"The two sons are polite, there is your credit for this."

"I don't dare to be greedy for credit, it's all the credit of Qingyang."

"The two sons have merit, Zheng Gongzi is the little Sanyuan of Ying Tianfu, this time he came, Peng Sheng is shining, if you don't dislike it, go in with the slave family to see, you don't have to enter from this gate, this time in Shengze homecoming house A lot of expenses, you must let the slave family be responsible for it once, this is also to give the slave family face."

Zheng Xunrui has never spoken, since he has come to Qinhuai River, there is no need to pretend, the shopkeeper has come out in person, and it will be hypocritical to continue to be polite. It is not a strange thing for Xu Fo's family to treat once, Zheng Xunrui's poem, the value of creating a zào for Sheng Ze's homecoming house, is far from what can be spent on a few treats, and it is a drop in the bucket in comparison.

The two followed behind Xu Fo's house, bypassed the house, and entered the Shengze Homecoming Courtyard from behind.

When passing by the quiet backyard, Zheng Xunrui took a few more looks, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a quiet place in Sheng Ze's homecoming courtyard.

"Young Master Yang, Gongzi Zheng, ordinary people are generally not allowed to enter this backyard, so it is a lot quieter."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, Yang Tingshu seemed to know the situation in the backyard and didn't particularly care.

This time, Xu Fojia took the two of them directly to the private room on the third floor.

The fragrance is very comfortable, and the environment here is also very good, and there is no noisy sound at all, giving people a comfortable and quiet feeling.

The third floor is not something that anyone can come up to, it requires a lot of silver, and it also needs to have some taste, that is, to reveal the literary style. The signature girls of Shengze Homecoming Courtyard generally receive guests on the third floor, these girls, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, look even more handsome, there are many people who are sought after, they have been praised for a long time, and their temperament is more or less arrogant.

Xu Fojia took the two of them directly to the third floor, which meant to take a look.

Zheng Xunrui paid a lot of attention to Yang Tingshu's appearance, and Yang Tingshu seemed calm from beginning to end, which showed that he had been to the third floor, and more than once, he was familiar with the surrounding situation.

Secretly thinned in his heart, it turned out that he Zheng Xunrui was also one of the objects of despise before, maybe that time there was a conflict in Shengze's homecoming, it involved the problem of face, teenagers, the most important thing is face, after encountering contempt, they will ignore it. It's also uncomfortable to think about, they all spent money to come to Qinhuai River, but they suffered different treatment, and when they encounter such a situation, I'm afraid there are not many people who can be calm.

Of course, in the face of such treatment, Zheng Xunrui will not care, it is impossible to be equal between people, you can't always fight for treatment with the emperor, the reason why Journey to the West has been criticized is because Sun Wukong said a sentence, the emperor takes turns to do it, and he comes to my house for three years, which is a challenge to social order.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are accustomed to hierarchical division, Shinong industry and commerce, this is a very clear hierarchy, they are very clear about their own status, when they see the official, they have to kneel, people are scholars, they are the stars of Wenqu in the sky, and the three religions and nine streams are low, otherwise so many people are studying and doing, they are farming, and there is not so much arable land.

Zheng Xunrui, who traveled to the Chongzhen period, could not be equal to everyone, so it is said that the fame he has obtained now has made him step into the ranks of scholars.

When Xu Fojia walked out of the private room, he gently closed the door and stood outside the door, his expression was a little solemn, which was completely different from when she began to see Yang Tingshu and Zheng Xunrui, the attitude was completely different, the mind of the Qinglou woman, Xu Fojia is very clear, who doesn't want to be able to be good and live a down-to-earth life, and there is no need to continue to laugh anymore, just say that she herself, how could she not think like this before, but unfortunately the identity of the Qinglou woman was originally a tragedy, if you fantasize that it can be easy to be good, it is a big mistake, Xu Fo's family has seen some girls who have received the envy of their sisters, and after Congliang, life is very painful, and some people even return to the Qinglou again, and they don't think about Congliang anymore.

Xu Fo's family now has silver, and he doesn't worry about his life in the second half of his life, as long as he has silver in his hand, he doesn't need to rely on men completely.

Xu Fo's family is still worried about Liu Yin, with her directness, Liu Yin's reputation in Qinhuai River in the future is by no means ordinary, I am afraid that it will far exceed her back then, this girl is not ordinary, she noticed the ups and downs of the Qinglou woman early, with this understanding, Liu Yin can control the opportunity very well.

However, at present, Liu Yin's age is still too young, and many things cannot be fully understood, nearly three months have passed since Zheng Xunrui's last arrival, and Liu Yin has been thinking about it, which is obviously emotional.

Although she is not her own daughter, the Xu Buddha family still loves Liu Yin very much, and she teaches her and cultivates her carefully, if she sees the young Liu Yin and touches a nail in front of Zheng Xunrui, maybe the understanding of men will change fundamentally in the future.

Zheng Xunrui is a little Sanyuan, after participating in the township examination high school next year, his identity has completely changed, such an excellent man must cherish his reputation and future, how can he marry a Qinglou woman.
