Chapter 18 Reluctantly sat down for his guests
At dusk, the sky is gradually closing in.
The Chu Waist Pavilion was cleaned up and down, and the girls inside were all dressed up and down, or tuning the strings, or leaning on the railing and the window, waiting for the guests to come.
Aunt Yin'er looked down from the stands on the third floor, and Su Haoyi just took a look at the first floor, and only went up to the second floor when she saw that all kinds of things were complete.
A couple of girls stopped her at the staircase and laughed, "What a good day is this?" Which girl are you going to meet when you're dressed like this? ”
Su Haoyi wore a new cross-collared crimson arrow sleeve gauze robe today, with jade-colored silk tied around her waist, plum blossom knots at both ends, and a pair of palace spikes hanging down on her waist, showing that her waist is slender and tough, and her posture is graceful.
Clothes of this color cannot be worn by anyone over the age of eighteen, and it is easy to look fancy and frivolous.
But if a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy wears it, he will inevitably be childish, not enough to stand out.
But Su Kind's appearance and complexion are very good for this clothes, and they look good from a distance and up close.
"I'm going out for a banquet in a while, and I've already told my mother," Su smiled before saying anything: "My sisters are so eye-catching today, and I will definitely be able to receive handsome, considerate and generous guests." ”
"Stinky boy, your mouth is so sweet! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have stayed in the Chu Waist Pavilion! One of the girls patted Su Haoyi's shoulder with a fan and said, "You tell your sister the truth, are you in love with someone outside?" ”
"It's nothing," Su smiled kindly, "Aren't I still young!" ”
Many of the girls in the Chu Waist Pavilion had thoughts about Su Haoyi, but she never solicited her, and everyone didn't know that she was a daughter, so they suspected that she had someone outside.
Of course, some people suspect that she and Jixing are separated from each other, after all, these two people are not tired of being together.
"Little mouse, if you don't leave, it's not easy to go," Nephrite looked up downstairs and said, "Eighth Master Sun said he was looking for you since he hit him!" If you really want him to see you, it's strange not to be verbose for an hour or two. ”
"Ah Jin will come in a while, let the eighth master talk to him about the book!" Su raised an eyebrow at Nephrite, thanking her for the reminder.
"Stinky boy, if I were ten years younger, I would have hooked you." Ruan Yu scolded with a smile and turned around to get the pipa.
Of course, she knew that Su Haoyi was a woman, but she had to admit that she had the ability to eat both men and women.
Su kindly went upstairs to say hello to her mother, and then went downstairs and walked out the back door.
Today, the son-in-law of the Haiqingqiu family invited the full moon wine, and Su Haoyi, as a righteous brother, of course wanted to go to the banquet, but the boat gang was different from other portals, and the guests were all at night, and the bigger the banquet, the more so.
Hai Qingqiu has been on the boat for nearly 20 years, and he has not celebrated anything except for his wedding ten years ago.
Therefore, today's banquet must be very grand and lively, Su Haoyi knows this very well, so he does not dare to slack off.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, her status in the boat gang is already very high, but Su Haoyi will never dare to be fearless, to put it bluntly, it is still due to her temperament.
Hai Qingqiu's mansion is in Jingming Street, which was originally a slum, as can be seen from the name of the alley.
The Boat Gang was originally a gang of poor brothers who were struggling to make a living on the water, and the people here were not of high origin.
However, later, the boat gang gradually grew bigger and monopolized the private water business inside and outside the capital, and gradually developed.
The nineteenth street and eighteen lanes of the capital refer to the streets and alleys that were set when Tiandu was first built, and now hundreds of years have passed, and they have more than doubled.
But people still use nine streets and eighteen lanes to refer to the streets of the capital.
It is four streets away from the Chu Waist Pavilion, and Rao is Su Haoyi's footsteps are fast, and when he arrives at the gate of Haifu, the night has already fallen.
She'd passed by here a few times before, but never entered.
In the past, the gate of Haifu was closed, and only the side door was opened. Today, the lights are shining and the door of the house is wide open.
In front of the door was Tong Sanye, with a few young and clever brothers in the gang.
Seeing Su Haoyi, Third Master Tong hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists, and said, "Master Su is here, the helper and his wife have asked several times." ”
"It's really sad to let my brother and sister-in-law think about it," Su Haoyi said while returning the salute: "The third master has worked hard, I'll go in first, and I'll talk to you when I get back." ”
"Master is the head back, I'll send you in and out again." Tong Sanye knew that Su Haoyi was the guest of Hai Qingqiu and his wife, so he didn't dare to slack off at all.
The courtyard of Hai Qingqiu's house is really big, and the house is also magnificent, with the taste of the rivers and lakes.
In the seven-entry house, the banquet was set up in the Qixin Hall in the third entry, and Su Haoyi entered the door and swept his eyes, and it was estimated that there were always hundreds of tables.
At that time, it was very lively, these people were all rough people, paying attention to eating large pieces of meat, drinking wine in large bowls, and talking about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes.
Tong Sanye didn't see Hai Qingqiu after watching it for a long time, and said to Su kindly with a little apology: "Master Su, the helper is not here at this time." I want to go into the back house to see the lady and the young master, and I will find you a seat to sit down first. ”
Su Haoyi knew that Third Master Tong still had to go to the front door to greet guests, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll just find a place to sit, Third Master, go out and get busy, don't delay the business." ”
Third Master Tong had already been instructed by Hai Qingqiu to arrange Su Haoyi at the main table.
At this time, there were already a few people sitting at the table, a few of them were the heads of the boat gang, and a few were rich businessmen in Tiandu, all of whom had business dealings with the boat gang on weekdays.
Of course, the empty upper seat in the middle was reserved for Hai Qingqiu, and Third Master Tong asked Su to sit on Hai Qingqiu's left hand side.
Su Haoyi didn't agree to anything, and insisted on sitting on the table next to him, and it was useless for Tong Sanye to persuade him for a long time.
I had no choice but to say: "Master Su, you are really embarrassing us." If you want to blame the old man for doing things badly, you can sit down, you should take pity on us. ”
Su Haoyi couldn't give in, so he had to sit on the seat opposite Hai Qingqiu, which was the last position on the entire table.
Tong Sanye saw that she was sitting firmly, so he went out.
In fact, since Su entered the door with good intentions, many pairs of eyes fell on her.
Although Su Haoyi is young, there are many people who know her, and many of these people here have been to the Chu Waist Pavilion and have seen her.
Su kindly did not evade, whoever looked at her, she looked at her kindly, smiled back, and said hello.
"Let me see who this wonderful man is!" A rough voice sounded behind Su Haoyi, and then a big hand was about to pat her thin shoulder.
Who wants Su to turn around with good intentions, but he can avoid this person's hand and let the person shoot in the air.
The man couldn't help but be a little displeased, and just as he was about to have a seizure, he smiled at Shangsu with kindness on his face.
"Who should I be? It turned out to be four masters. Su Haoyi recognized this person as the fourth leader of the boat gang, and this person was also a good man, but it was a pity that it was bad on the color letter.
