Chapter 167: West Lake in Hangzhou
Master Bai's words made Murong Jue feel a little surprised, you must know that after sending her daughter into the harem, it will be much more convenient to do anything, which is why all the ministers in the court and the central government are thinking about sending their daughters to the harem, and even for such a draft spot, regardless of whether their daughter is willing or not.
But today, Master Bai actually said such a thing, which Murong Jue had never expected.
"Why?"
Master Bai said, with a slight smile on his face, he looked at his daughter, who was in the prime of her youth and had a good face, and said: "The grass people know that if they send their daughter to the harem, everything will be good for the grass people, but she doesn't like it, the grass people naturally can't be forced, not to mention, although the harem is said to be brocade and jade, but the road to the harem is difficult, and the grass people don't want their daughter to suffer like this." ”
After Master Bai finished speaking, he saw that Murong Jue's face became more and more gloomy, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't mean to give in, the two were so deadlocked for a moment, Murong Jue chuckled: "Master Bai really loves his daughter, I appreciate it very much." ”
It turned out that this was Murong Jue's test for Master Bai, if Master Bai really promised him his daughter today, he still needed to go back and carefully consider whether to give him the position of this imperial merchant, and today Master Bai decisively refused, Murong Jue could rest assured.
Only then did Master Bai realize that his love for his daughter had given him a good chance to get along with the Bai family.
After lunch, everyone returned to the inn, they had been delayed in Luoyang City for so long, they really couldn't delay any longer, so they left for the south the next morning after resting at the inn.
After leaving Luoyang City, everyone was delayed on the road for a month or two, and finally came to Hangzhou, the so-called heaven, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Hangzhou is a good place not to lose Suzhou.
Wu Nong's soft words, the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the literati and love to leave pen and ink here.
After coming here, everyone first found a place to settle down, and then, as usual, walked around the city of Hangzhou.
Hangzhou is the only place where the Jiangnan locust plague clock has not been affected this time, so when everyone comes to Hangzhou, all they see are beautiful women.
"In the past, I wondered why the grandmothers were so yearning for Jiangnan, but when I saw it today, I finally knew. ”
Ruo'er walked on the street with Su Yang in her arms, looked around, and finally understood why the grandmothers in the palace liked to buy a mansion in Jiangnan after saving money.
"Do you like it here?"
Feng Yi couldn't help but ask when he heard Ruo'er say this.
"That's nature, who wouldn't like to see such a beautiful view?"
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Ruo'er's words were listened to by Feng Yi in his heart, he looked carefully, and found a good location next to the West Lake, if Ruo'er likes it, and then settles down the court for Murong Jue, he will take Ruo'er to buy a mansion here and start a family.
If you want to say that on the shore of West Lake, the most is the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, in addition to Yangzhou, the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in Hangzhou is the most, however, the women here are not doing the skin and meat business, and the most people in the building are still Qing Qi people, mainly making a living from performing arts.
When everyone passed by a courtyard, they saw a few strong men throwing a man out of the house, and they didn't forget to spit at him: "Phew, you don't have any money, and you still want to come to see our Yaoyue girl? I see you're dazed! Get out! Don't let me see you again!"
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to help the man up, only to see that the man's body was not thin, but he was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding, which made people feel a little puzzled.
"This big brother, you are the same size as them, why are you still beaten by them?"
The man didn't speak, patted the dust off his body, and turned to leave.
Looking at the back of the man leaving, Ruo'er felt that Su Yang was not worth it, Su Yang was obviously kind, but he was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he didn't go to pick him up if he knew it.
"Who are these people?"
"Maybe people have a hard time?"
Su Yang said this, although she complained a little about him in her heart, but she thought that everyone had their own troubles, and she didn't want to be resentful because of this.
The group continued to walk forward, only to see a ring set up in front of them, many people gathered here, Ruo'er pulled a passer-by and asked, "This big brother, you are here, what are you doing?"
"You are a foreigner, right? This is our Hangzhou City, an emerging thing in the past two years, it is said that it is a fight in the ring, and if you win, you can get a hundred taels of gold, and if you lose, you have to go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and be a thug!"
While the man was talking, two more men came to the stage, one of them was the strong man they had just seen, throwing the man out, and the other side, whose physique could not be compared with him, was very thin.
"Hmph, boy, with your physique, let's go back and practice for another two years!
As soon as the strong man said this, everyone laughed at the kid, but the referee standing on the side sounded the gong and drum to signal the start.
As soon as the gong and drum were woken up, the kid rushed to the strong man like crazy, and covered the strong man's stomach with his head, and the strong man was in pain, and immediately fell to the ground, but it didn't take long to stand up, and because of the kid's action, he was completely annoyed.
"Boy, do you know what happens to messing me off?"
The kid is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, his eyes are burning, and he uses the same technique to pounce on him, but this time the strong man is obviously prepared, and directly swings a palm to his face, the kid falls to the ground on the spot, and the referee counts on the side, and when it comes to ten, the boy has not yet gotten up, and the winner is decided.
A few men around him had already prepared, and the winner or loser of this game had already been decided, so they stepped forward to carry the young man off the stage, and Su Yang stood behind and found that the young man's face was already full of blood, and his breath was very weak.
"You see, this is another fate of losing the ring, either go to Qinlou Chu Pavilion as a thug, or die, these people don't know how to do it. ”
The words of passers-by made Su Yang feel that the rules of the ring were very cold-blooded, and he was about to leave, but he was stopped by Ruo'er.
"Madam, look, is that man on the stage the man you helped up just now?"
Hearing Ruo'er's words, Su Yang looked towards the stage, and sure enough, the man standing on the stage was very familiar, it was the man who was thrown out just now.
As soon as he came to the stage, there were boos around him, and the strong man who beat the boy half to death couldn't help laughing when he saw him on stage: "Yo, isn't this a defeated soldier?
