Season 2 Chapter 159 First Arrival in Yangzhou
Just out of the wolf's den,
Into the tiger's den again.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Qinzong was detained, all the beauties of the harem were captured, the Song court gradually came to an end in a bloody storm, and the women's mournful cries still echoed in their ears, but life must go on after all.
A few days later, Fang Yu and his party finally arrived in Yangzhou.
I saw that there were crowds of people in front of several major grain stores in the city, and in the outer areas, there was also an endless stream of traders and people who rushed to hear the news. As soon as the news of the drop in grain prices came out, Yangzhou, which had been in a depression for a long time, became lively, quarreling everywhere constantly, every time just to earn an extra mouthful of rice grain, mixed with the neighing of donkeys and horses, for a time it seemed to be far away from the war, and returned to the prosperous years.
Recently, Fang Yu has taken care of his wife and father-in-law carefully, and he has to deal with various emergencies on the road, which is very hard. This time I arrived in Yangzhou, and I could finally take a break.
Here it is said that above the west wind building, in the elegant room on the second floor, there are four or five people drinking, and a tall man who is obviously the principal by the window raises his wine glass and takes a sip of wine, and suddenly chokes out with a "cough", regardless of the wet placket, only looks down the street, dumbfounded.
The man in the audience smiled and said, "Why is Brother Zhu so out of shape?" and then stepped forward and leaned his body to the window, but he also became the same as his Brother Zhu.
Seeing this, several other people probed one after another, only to see that in front of the door of the West Wind Building, Liu Shiyan got out of the carriage, looking forward to it, only to see the beautiful complexion, not to force the look, the black cloak covered the body tightly, but it happened to be blown by gusts of wind, the cloak was close to the body, and the delicate body was exquisitely concave and convex in an instant, which led people to reverie.
The eldest brother couldn't help but admire: "Time has such a stunning beauty!"
The man in the audience grinned: "If the eldest brother likes it, I'll catch it!"
The eldest brother frowned, waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid that you will scare the little lady crying if you go like this, I have a plan......"
Liu Shiyan leaned on Fang Yu's side with joy, her body was lazy, looking at Fang Yu's side face quietly, her willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if there was a faint sorrow.
"Lady has something on her mind?"
Liu Shiyan smiled and didn't speak, just shook her head gently.
"Why don't you speak up and see if your husband can help you?"
Fang Yu said softly as he gently stroked her waterfall-like hair. Liu Shiyan lay quietly in his arms, but her eyes looked at the crowd of people coming and going on the street.
"What are you looking at?"
"Official, look at the woman in green!"
Following the direction of her finger, Fang Yu saw a woman in green clothes carrying a bamboo basket with some vegetables and fruits in the basket, and was hurrying with her head down.
"Presumably you're in a hurry to go home and cook, right?" Fang Yu was a little strange, what was there to see about this?
The slave family guessed that this woman was already a wife. Do you believe it?"
Only then did Fang Yu notice that the woman's hair was coiled up, and she also inserted a hairpin, which was a unique attire for married women, which was not strange.
"Official, I don't know when the slave's hair will be coiled?"
This question made Fang Yu stunned, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer. At this time, three or four naughty children, about six or seven years old, were jumping up and running after each other in the street, and behind them, their motherly voices were called.
Liu Shiyan straightened up, looked at the child's innocent appearance, looked at the young woman who was anxious, angry and loving, showed a look of envy, and sighed softly.
"I have been married to an official for more than two years, but the official has only tasted it from the beginning to the present, and has never taken a step beyond the thunder pool. On the surface, it seems that husband and wife are in love, but why do they always ignore the slave family when they share the bed at night? Is it because the slave family is not good enough, or does the official have a new love in his heart?"
Seeing his wife muttering there, Fang Yu felt strange and was about to ask, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall man coming out of the inn, walking straight to the woman's side, and pinching her buttocks.
"You...... What are you doing!?" the woman shouted angrily.
"What are you yelling about, you are so thin that you don't have any flesh at all! Go and go home with grandpa, grandpa raised you white and fat!" the tall man laughed, and despite the woman's fierce resistance, he took her in his hand like an eagle catching a chicken, threw her on his shoulders and carried her to the back room.
Forcibly robbing women in broad daylight! Is there still heavenly reason!
Fang Yu was about to get angry, but when he heard an angry roar downstairs, Fang Zhou, who was drinking, rushed out and slashed at the tall man with a knife.
If the knife had been struck, his legs would have to be cut in two. When it was too late, the tall man threw the woman towards the ark, but he jumped backwards and narrowly escaped the sword.
Before he could catch his breath, he felt a black shadow fall above his head, and then his ear "boomed", bleeding from the ear hole.
It's so fast!
It was so fast that he didn't have time to see the other party's path clearly!
It was so fast that he didn't even have time to blink!
The tall man knew that he was far from being an opponent, so it was better to go up to the thirty-six strategies, so he rolled on the ground and fled in embarrassment amid the laughter of the crowd.
The ark standing in the wind made Liu Yufu look fascinated, especially when he clenched his fist and shouted at the tall man: "Let me meet you again to bully the market, I will see you once, fight once, see ten times, fight ten times!"
Fang Yu couldn't help but laugh secretly, how could this sentence sound so familiar? It seems that there is such a scene in "Water Margin" in which Jiang Men is drunk.
Liu Yufu clapped her hands and praised: "It seems that the official's martial arts have improved a lot. ”
Fang Zhou said with a smile: "Thanks to the lady's careful care during this time, I can have time to meditate and practice martial arts." ”
This scene happened to be seen by Lord Yi Wu Zhong Wu of Yangzhou Mansion who was passing by, and Lord Wu, who likes talents and talents, immediately invited Fang Zhou to drink in the mansion. Fang Zhou did not refuse, and strongly recommended his second brother to go with him, and Lord Wu readily agreed.
This was a happy thing, but when Fang Yu saw that "Brother Zhu", his heart moved, and the words of "Brother Zhu" just now flashed in his mind, and he felt that things were far from being as simple as he imagined.
On this day, the court of Wufu set up wine and food, the young master of the city all attended, and invited the famous Oiran in the city to accompany him, for a time the house sang and danced, the vocal music fluttered, and people were happy and forgetful. It was only at this time that Fang Yu learned from Wu Zhong's introduction that this "Brother Zhu" was named Zhu Dashan, who was a tyrant in Yangzhou, and all affairs in Yangzhou, no matter how big or small, could only be carried out with his permission, and his status far surpassed Wu Zhong.
What kind of person is this, who can actually ride on the head of the government and make a fortune?! The two Fang Yu brothers remained silent, pretending to be polite and sat down.
At dusk, Liu Shiyan was worried about her husband, so she went straight to Wu's mansion. After entering the Wu Mansion, I found that the wine in the court was fragrant, and the banquet was still going on.
At this time, Zhu Dashan was talking and laughing with Wu Zhong, and he suddenly saw a beautiful woman who was twenty-eight years old and broke into the court, her hair was scattered like a waterfall, her skin was white and frosty, and her eyes were as bright as stars and moons.
Xu was so thoughtful that she forgot to change her clothes, and hurriedly went out in the home interior. I saw that she was wearing a shirt with narrow sleeves, the body was not long, the lower edge only covered the waist, the placket was naturally open, there was no rope tie, and she wore a red bandeau inside, revealing half of the white flesh from the top of the bandeau, and wearing soft pants underneath, and the close-fitting fabric wrapped the jade strands tightly, forming a wonderful arc with the thin waist of Ruori. A few steps swaying, charming in all directions, slender posture exquisite.
Such a beauty, dressed in the home interior, appeared in front of everyone, and immediately amazed the audience, at this moment, Zhu Dashan's eyes almost popped out!
