"These merchants are really taking advantage of the fire to rob, a side room, and it costs five taels of silver a night!" Cui Ranxin, who was lying on the bed on all fours, complained.

"Ten taels of silver a night, and everyone flocked to it." Cui Jiuan put down his burden and saw the person lying on the bed.

Shaking his head and said: "You are also the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, grandmother sees you like this now, and you can't run away from the ancestral hall for three days." ”

Cui Ranxin raised her head and glanced at herself, she also felt too indulgent, and got up, put down her arm and said, "The lady is tired, borrow the bed for it, and the husband will take care of himself." As he spoke, he took off his shoes, turned sideways, and really fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Cui Jiuan just shook his head when he heard this and walked back to the outer room, Xiao Er had already brought hot water, and the water vapor filled the entire room.

"Wait for a light knock on the door, my lady is asleep." Cui Jiuan said to Xiao Er.

Xiao Er nodded hurriedly: "Madame is so blessed, the son is not only good looking, but also has a good personality." When I come to change the water, I must be gentle, so as not to wake up Mrs. Zun. ”

After Xiao Er withdrew, Cui Jiu'an bathed in wide clothes, and Cui Ranxin slept peacefully on the couch, each of which had nothing to do with it.

When Cui Ranxin woke up, it was already the middle of the night, she was hungry, and she saw the young man under the candlelight sleeping in the chair, wearing only a thin shirt, the belt hung on the screen, lazy and casual, the chest rose and fell slightly, the breathing was even, and the handsome face was peaceful and peaceful, adding a little quietness and peace compared to the usual publicity.

looked at it and muttered: "What does a man do with such a good look?" ”

Fingers slowly swiped over his cheeks and chin: "The skin is so good, after I go back, the threshold of the home is estimated to be broken." ”

Thinking of the capital, Cui Ranxin stopped his movements and sighed: "I don't know, what does he look like?" ”

"When are you going to touch it?" The boy pushed the other man's fingers away.

"Hehe, the picture is so beautiful, I can't help it."

"Humph! Calculate that you will wake up at this hour, and there is a supper sent by Xiao Ercai outside, and hot water. Saying that, Cui Jiuan had already laid down on the bed, with his back to the door.

First took a hot bath, soaked in the water beautifully, washed away the tiredness of the past few days, and then ate some exquisite food, Cui Ranxin moved the candle flame closer, and she took out a book and looked at it silently.

Early in the morning, following the flow of people, no need to ask for directions, just follow, then came to the courtyard deep, the lintel towering Li Gongtang, Li Gong was the founding hero, the retreat of the army is indispensable, but a family of four generations was tragically avenged by the enemy, Emperor Taizu was angry, the royal drive pro-conquest, five years to slaughter the city and destroy the country before stopping, pity Li Gong has no successor, then in Li Gong's hometown Jiangning to set up a temple for them, enjoy a hundred family of incense, so every year on the second day of the fifth month, the people of the city go to worship, a hundred years of people sigh Li Gong is a miserable, In particular, the scholars and literati wrote poems and sang praises, which formed today's customs, and the surrounding cities, scholars and bureaucrats all came on this day.

The door that is usually closed, only open today, to welcome the incense worship of all families, the first to enter the hall, the plaque hanging high, written worthy of the four big characters of heaven and earth, the magnificent regular script on the powder wall on both sides, the left is loyalty, the right is righteousness, two big characters, the pen and ink are written is the admiration and sigh of the world for them, and the eaves cliff shows the majesty and vicissitudes of Li Gongtang.

As soon as I entered the gate, the sky began to drizzle, like silver threads like spider silk, thin and inaudible.

The life deeds of Li Gong are written on the wall, and his portrait is engraved on the opposite wall, and then inside, a four-beam and eight-pillar pavilion in the inner courtyard is entered through the pavilion, and the portrait of Li Gongrong is hung in the middle hall.

There is an incense case under the portrait, because there are many people who go on the incense, so under the candlesticks on both sides, there is a long incense case respectively, the ordinary people only put incense on the incense case on both sides, only the descendants of the family can be incense in the middle of the incense case, the people who go on the incense can be offered piously regardless of men and women, old and young.

Perhaps it was the infection of the rain, and everyone looked solemn, did not smile, and each of them went on the incense and bowed in an orderly manner. Cui Ranxin followed Cui Jiu'an to a little novice to take the fragrance, and inserted his hands into the incense case under the portrait.

A young voice accused: "Who are you? How can He De put incense under the portrait of Li Gong! ”

The two of them ignored it, and an old monk who chanted the sutra said, "Sincerity is enough, it doesn't matter." ”

After listening to the old monk's words, the young man could only watch the two leave with indignation.

After that person's trouble, he walked out of Li Gongtang, and finally faded away Fang Cai's solemnity and sadness.

Walking all the way around the Xianghe, the Xianghe River is located in the city center of Jiangning, so this side is extremely prosperous, the Xianghe River is famous for the Qin Building of the Chu Pavilion, there is a saying that the Jiangnan is very beautiful, nine points from the Xianghe, so young talents from all over the world are admired.

Cui Ran remembered what the peasant woman said yesterday, and pulled Cui Jiuan and said, "How about we go to that beauty pavilion and have a look?" ”

Cui Jiuan glanced at the other party and walked to the teahouse next to him: "I'm thirsty, go drink tea." ”

Cui Ranxin hurriedly lifted her skirt and chased after her.

The teahouse's head trembled, there were no more empty seats, Xiao Er led the two of them into the seats, the storyteller of the teahouse looked at the two of them, he was stunned for a while, his mouth stopped, causing everyone's dissatisfaction, and when he heard the commotion, he took a sip of tea and continued: "I just said that Honglang slowly came down from the upstairs, amazed the four, and this appearance won full applause, and there was an endless stream of voters——"

After listening to it for a while, Cui Ranxin, who was still confused, really wanted to catch someone to ask, but he only knew that the storyteller was saying that beauty is more beautiful, but he didn't know why he was more beautiful?

"Yikes! The little lady is so coincidental, she doesn't have time to do it, don't mind if I sit down, right? It was Li Shen who ridiculed Liu Lingzhi at the inn yesterday.

Cui Ranxin didn't wait for the person next to him to speak, and hurriedly said, "Don't mind, what is this storyteller talking about?" She just needed someone to answer her questions, and asked.

"Oh! This storyteller is talking about last year's beauty pageant. ”

"What is the Beauty Pavilion for, and why is it a beauty pageant?"

Looking at Cui Ranxin, who looked ignorant, Li Shen smiled and said, "I told you, your little father-in-law won't be angry?" ”

"No, no, my father-in-law is the most considerate and gentle." Cui Ranxin said and stretched out his hand to hold Cui Jiu'an's arm coquettishly.

"Hey! It's a pity that the famous flower has a master. Li Shen looked at the two of them, shook his head helplessly, and thought of the family affairs that his father had set for him, and he was troubled.

"Tell me about it."

"There are many teaching workshops around Xianghe, but only one is unique and unique, and only his family has the most prosperous business, and there are endless guests, and they can't even get a number at all."

"Wow! is so powerful, isn't it like a cloud of beauties inside? The more Cui Ranxin listened, the more interested he became, and he was amazed again and again.

"There are all kinds of beauties in it."

"Looks like you've been there, how beautiful are you?"

"Well-the beauties in it have their own merits, although they are not as beautiful as the two Tianzi countries, but their charm and charm are the most seductive. Those beauties don't just serve by their beauty—"

"More details." Cui Ran listened attentively, and was suddenly picked up by the person next to him.

"We still have something to do, take our leave."

Cui Ranxin, who was forcibly pulled out of the teahouse by Cui Jiuan, twisted his body and wanted to escape back.

Just when the two were struggling, across the street, a weak-crowned young man tore off the wanted portrait on the wall with a smile, the portrait came with the wind, and happened to fall at the feet of Cui Ranxin, the portrait was not someone else, it was a Taoist priest.
