Su Wanmiao, as the speaker of the Su family, stepped into this mansion for the first time with Du Bai and the others, and they would stay for a long time in the future.

The first impression of this place is that it is secluded. If you look closely, you can see the greenery, the corridor is winding, and there is a small and exquisite lake pavilion in the backyard, which makes people feel at ease and comfortable, presumably a good summer resort in summer.

The decoration of the house is not very luxurious, probably because the previous owner was a civil official, and there are not expensive but very decent calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall in some places, giving people the feeling of being a scholarly family, rather than a business family.

After looking around overall, the shape of this mansion is very good, and if it is really put out for sale, the price will not be too low. The Su family may also be able to take advantage of it.

Fortunately, the location of this house is some distance from the city center, so the change of ownership did not attract too many people's attention.

Since Lu Mingzhi has thought about it very carefully and arranged most of the things properly, the next step is to arrange for the many servants brought along the way to sort out the goods on the convoy and officially settle in this mansion.

"Thank you Young Master Lu for your help!"

"Hey, you don't have to be so polite." Lu Mingzhi waved his hand, with a very bright smile on his face, he was not arrogant because of his family background, nor was he so flattering to Xu Zhiyan, but he seemed to have a good heart, "As long as you have any good opportunities in the future, you can also bring us with you!" When you're away from home, one more friend is one more way......"

Most of these words are just polite words, after all, in the eyes of him and outsiders, the Su family who came from a small place doesn't seem to have anything to help him, but he still has enough face.

After being busy until the evening, it was the banquet that Xu Zhiyan had prepared.

However, this time, because of the busy affairs at home and other reasons, Su Wanmiao and the others did not go, but Du Bai went alone with Xu Zhiyan, and it is said that most of the people who came tonight were Xu Zhiyan's sons and young masters, wives and concubines, etc., which were not convenient to bring.

When he heard Lu Mingzhi say this euphemistically, Du Bai vaguely understood what kind of place it was.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the agreed place in a sedan chair, they could see a flower boat that radiated its brilliance in the night parked on the riverbank. The hull of the ship is much larger than that of Yuanyang City, and there are several floors above the cabin, which is brightly lit, and it is even more gorgeous and moving than the starry sky in the sky.

From time to time, there was the light laughter of a young woman and the sound of some pleasant but slightly ambiguous musical instruments, which seemed to attract the attention of passers-by at all times, and one could not help but have a little reverie about the scenery on the ship.

When he stepped out of the sedan chair and saw this scene, it was probably because he had already experienced the baptism of a similar scene in Yuanyang City, so Du Bai showed a look of "sure enough" on his face, but there were some strange emotions in his heart.

Probably touching the scene, he suddenly remembered Miss Yuening, and after hearing the sound of these somewhat familiar musical instruments, the picture of her dancing solo to the moon involuntarily appeared in his mind.

It was indeed the most beautiful sight he had ever seen in the world, without charm or other distractions, but just pure beauty, and one couldn't help but indulge in it.

"I wonder if I'll ever see you again?"

Probably yes. But I have to wait until Miss Yuening wakes up......

Lu Mingzhi noticed the strangeness in his expression, and when he was a native bun from the countryside and saw this shocking scene for the first time, he seemed to be a little proud and said: "Du Gongzi, how is it, this painting boat is different from those ordinary green buildings. In the past, they were all literati, and the girls on the boat were all Qing people who did not sell their bodies, whether it was piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they had a must, and their appearance was even more outstanding. ”

"But the people behind this painting boat seem to be very powerful, and no one can force these girls, and no matter how much money they have, it's useless. Unless someone can really capture their hearts by virtue of their talents, they can take the initiative to invite them to become the guests of the curtain. ”

Lu Mingzhi's face was a little stunned and a little envious: "Alas, it's a pity that I am shallow in writing, and I really can't get on the stage." ”

"By the way, Brother Xu is very powerful, he wrote a lot of good poems in Lin'an, which attracted the admiration of countless beauties. It is that many Qing people on this ship have taken the initiative to invite them according to the spring love, but Brother Xu is an honest person and rarely goes to the appointment, which has gradually become a good story here. ”

When he was introduced here, he looked at Du Bai with a smile again: "I think it's the first time I've seen this kind of elegance when I come to Du Gongzi......

It's not a mockery, it's just a kind of teasing that promotes relationships between friends who are not very familiar with each other.

Du Bai smiled slightly and was about to speak, but Xu Zhiyan next to him first said for him: "You guessed wrong." Yuanyang City also has this painting boat, although it is smaller than here, but one of the Oiran in it is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very charming in dance. ”

He gently shook the fan in his hand, looked up at the starry sky, and sighed: "In my impression, although there are many women in this city, there is no one who can compare to her. ”

This is obviously a very big thing, if someone else says it, Lu Mingzhi must definitely feel that that person is purely narrow-minded and does not see enough beauties. But in Xu Zhiyan's mouth, it was very convincing to him, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, a little curious about what kind of demeanor that woman was, and she could be so praised by Brother Xu.

I even started to think that when I was free one day in the future, I would go to take a look and see it.

It's a pity that Xu Zhiyan's next words disappointed him.

Speaking of which, that woman seems to be Brother Du's confidante. But I heard that the Oiran girl left the painting boat and disappeared, I wonder if Brother Du knows a little bit of the inside story? ”

Du Bai didn't expect him to suddenly ask about this, but he was also flustered, and after simply saying "I don't know", he was confused.

And the other party didn't suspect it, obviously just asked so casually, and didn't mean to dig into it. After all, he is just a passerby, and it is impossible to pursue it persistently, but there are some small regrets in his heart.

Next, the three of them were received by the attendants and went to the room where the banquet was prepared.

As soon as I opened the door, a warm and hot wind came from the inside, blowing away the chill of the night outside, and also bringing the sound of greetings.
