Chapter 22: The Legend of the Romance

After Xiao Ruixue left Caofu, she rushed directly to Xiao's rice shop in Jinling. Here, waiting for her is a bunch of monthly accounts collected from various rice shops in the city, all she has to do is to check them one by one, but when she sees the thick pile of account books on the bookcase, Xiao Ruixue's eyebrows still can't help jumping slightly, and after taking a deep breath, she plunged into business.

I don't know how many hours later, Xiao Ruixue felt that her eyes were sore and swollen, and her mind was a little dizzy, she stretched her waist lightly and turned her head to look out the window. Seeing that it was not early outside the window, she looked back at the remaining pile of ledgers on the case, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "After gnawing all of these, it seems that it will not be done in three or four days!" Hey, that's all for today, and keep up the good work tomorrow! ”

Xiao Ruixue gently locked the door, said hello to the guy in the shop, and planned to go home directly.

Xiao's butterfly lane is located in the southwest of Jinling City, a section of the embankment on the Qinhuai River is the only way for Xiao Ruixue to go home, here and ten miles of Qinhuai are separated by less than a few miles, there are many colorful boats on the river to play here, there are warblers singing and dancing, music bursts, really to the pedestrians on both sides of the eye and ear blessing.

Xiao Ruixue looked at those figures scratching her head from time to time, and her tense and busy mood finally relaxed a little, and her steps couldn't help but be much lighter. It's a pity that this section of the road is not long, Xiao Ruixue reluctantly looked back at those young and graceful women, ready to go down the river to carry it.

As soon as she got down the embankment, Xiao Ruixue heard a sound of pushing and scolding in her ears, only to hear someone shouting: "You bastards, I warned you not to harass my mother and her old man!" Why don't you listen, do you want to eat my fist? ”

This voice was slightly familiar, Xiao Ruixue couldn't help but turn her head to search, only to see that in a corner under the river embankment, there were several big men surrounding one person in the middle, and the person who was surrounded was tall and abnormal, a head higher than the big men around him. And Xiao Ruixue saw the person who was surrounded, and was secretly surprised in her heart: "This person seems to be that Gao Wuji, right?" ”

Gao Wuji once participated in the transportation of grain by the Xiao family after waking up, with that domineering body, he was able to carry six or seven stone meters at a time, and his feet were much faster than ordinary people.

After passing by the Ping'an Wharf, Xiao Ruixue was envious of Gao Wuji's figure, as for what Gao Wuji looked like, she couldn't remember clearly, but at this time, she still recognized him through that remarkable figure.

"Gao Wuji, it is a matter of course to repay debts! We are doing money trading, and we were willing to lend you money because we liked that your house was not bad, and now you are unwilling to repay the money and refuse to hand over the house, then of course we have to go to your wife for trouble! ”

"I didn't say no, I just told you to wait a few more days! If my house is handed over to you, where will my mother go? She has been in poor health, if you make her angry again, believe it or not, I'm not done with you? ”

"Interesting!" Xiao Ruixue saw that there seemed to be a conflict between Gao Wuji and this group of big men, and she couldn't help but be interested, so she found a step to sit down and observed the movement over there through the railing.

"Okay, you Gao Wuji is a filial son, since you don't want your wife to suffer, then you have to shoulder this responsibility yourself! In this way, we are not unreasonable people, if you let each of us fight for one round, I will give you three more days! ”

"These people's demands are really excessive, and a fool will agree!" Xiao Ruixue hid behind the railing and smiled, according to her first impression of Gao Wuji, she felt that Gao Wuji would definitely attack next. But at this moment, suddenly many people rushed past her in a hurry, and while running wildly towards the river embankment, they kept shouting: "Hurry up, I heard that King Zhao's ship is about to pass through here!" ”

"King Zhao?" Xiao Ruixue was slightly stunned, although she had been living in the back house before, she had heard of this name, to be exact, King Zhao should be known to everyone in Jinling.

It is rumored that King Zhao's name is Sun Jun, the sixth son of the current emperor Sun Lingwen, and his mother is Empress Yang. He is handsome and elegant, his poetry is graceful, and his calligraphy and painting are also a must, so he is deeply favored by the emperor. But the most praised thing is the affair between him and many beauties, among which there are no less than four or five famous beauties.

First, Lu Aya, the only daughter of Lu Yan's family, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Lu Aya has been beautiful since she was a child, and she is regarded as a star in the circle of young children of the scholar clan, and Sun Jun is also one of them. The children of the scholar clan always love to travel with a group of people, sometimes day and night, but the atmosphere is like this, and the emperor and the Lu family have not cared. Unexpectedly, when Lu Aya was fourteen years old, she was found to be pregnant before she left the cabinet, and Lu Yan was half dead at that time. Lu Yan had no choice but to tell Sun Lingwen the secret, and Sun Lingwen was afraid of the power of the Lu family, so he ordered Sun Jun to accept Lu Aya as the princess, thus covering up the scandal. Unexpectedly, there are impermeable walls in the world, and this matter has long been widely spread by the young children in the scholar circle, and Sun Jun was only fifteen years old at that time.

Second, Duanmu Qian, the youngest granddaughter of the Duanmu Wen family, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Duanmu Qian is beautiful and simple, and she has been cautious since she was a child because of strict discipline. But because her grandmother is Princess Ying'an, the aunt of the current emperor, she and Sun Jun also have dealings with each other, but between this and back, I don't know what witchcraft Sun Jun has done to her, she is also deeply rooted in love with Sun Jun, so that she doesn't think about tea and dinner. If it weren't for Duanmu Wen's eyes like a torch and doing the thing of beating mandarin ducks, I'm afraid that there would be only one step away, and this Miss Duanmu would have to follow in Lu Aya's footsteps.

Third, the court female musician Xu Lihua, Xu Lihua's great-grandfather Xu Kun was the Yuefu official of Qianchen, and was later retained by Sun Zhihao, the Taizu of Chu, and his brother Xu Zhao was also the Yuefu official of the Southern Chu court at this time. Xu Lihua grew up in the palace since she was a child, her face is beautiful, especially famous for her white skin, she is talented, she is very self-controlled, she has repeatedly rejected Sun Lingwen's favor, and swore that she would die alone, Sun Lingwen did not care because of her love. When Sun Jun was seven years old, Xu Lihua was appointed by Sun Lingwen as Sun Jun's music and rhythm enlightenment teacher, Xu Lihua was conscientious, and Sun Jun was also very smart. When Sun Jun was sixteen years old, because he had accepted Lu Aya as a concubine, he already knew the taste of love between men and women, and Xu Lihua was twenty-eight years old at this time. Poor Xu Lihua has been guarding herself like jade for 28 years, and in the end she couldn't stand Sun Jun's bewitchment, and accidentally threw the red pill under Sun Jun's body. This matter gradually spread to Sun Lingwen's ears, Sun Lingwen couldn't cry and laugh, so he had to order Xu Lihua to become a nun, and since then he has broken off the indecent love between this pair of master and apprentice, but it is unknown whether Sun Lingwen did this because he was jealous.

Fourth, the famous prostitute of Fangfei Pavilion Su Lianshuang, Su Lianshuang was already the top brand of Fangfei Pavilion at the age of sixteen, she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was also very beautiful. Although Su Lianshuang is young, her mind is a little exquisite, she maneuvered among these dignitaries and nobles, and entertained everyone like a spring breeze, which made everyone itchy and unbearable, but no one could be her guest until he met Sun Jun. I don't know if these two people were reincarnated into this world with the fate of their previous lives, anyway, they started to burn up after less than a day of acquaintance. The romance between the two has been written by many literati, and some people have secretly hidden under the bed of the two, drawing a picture of the Spring Palace according to the drama they heard, which is also a big hit, of course, Sun Jun's name has been obscure, as long as everyone can smile, they will know that it is him.

Zhao Wang Sun Jun is such a legendary figure, while everyone is enthusiastic about his romance, they are actually more or less envious.

Xiao Ruixue also secretly praised at this time: "King Zhao is really a model for my generation, which makes people admire!" It's just that I still think it's more fun to watch the fight! So she turned her attention back to Gao Wuji, but seeing Gao Wuji's delay in making a move, she was a little anxious for him: "Hurry up, it's really blind to this good body!" ”

"I heard that King Zhao came back from Yangzhou this time, and he still has Yuan Shu with him!"

"What, Yuan Shu? My first beauty in Da Chu? ”

"Yes, that's her!"

"My God, Yuan Shu is my dream lover, why was he also harmed by King Zhao?"

"Come on, don't be sour, Yuan Shu won't take a fancy to you anyway!"

At this time, a few people hurriedly ran over next to him, and their words came into Xiao Ruixue's ears without a word, Xiao Ruixue couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly: "Yuan Shu? ”

Just two days ago, Xiao Ruixue accidentally bumped into her father and mother flirting in the room from outside the house, Xiao Hui once talked about seeing Yuan Shu at the Oiran competition on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, when Yuan Shu had just debuted, and she amazed the world. At that time, Zhu Yan was also jealous of this, and forced Xiao Hui to ask if he was moved, Xiao Hui naturally did not admit it, and finally Zhu Yan was forced to ask Yuan Shu who was more beautiful or herself, Xiao Hui smiled evilly and said: "Yuan Shu's appearance is one point better than his wife's, but his figure is three points worse than his wife!" After that, he lowered his head and pointed at Zhu Yan's chest, Zhu Yan was embarrassed and fisted Xiao Hui, the two pretended to scuffle several times, and finally hit the bed directly, Xiao Ruixue was embarrassed to continue eavesdropping, but she was deeply impressed by the name Yuan Shu in her heart.

At this time, when she heard Yuan Shu's name mentioned again, Xiao Ruixue's eyes couldn't help but light up, she turned her head to look in the direction of Gao Wuji, and saw that there was still no fight over there, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly, and ran towards the river embankment with a group of people.
