Chapter 9: The Evening Breeze
Out of the hall, I felt that the evening breeze was pleasant, and Lin Qi took the firefly back to the deck of the painting ship. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Zhao family's merchant ships were faster and had already gone away.
Que'er was planning to take Lin Qi and Firefly to the guest room to rest, but when she turned around, she disappeared the two of them, so she could only find them all the way, but she saw the two of them bathing in the evening breeze, looking at the surging horizontal water, reflecting the stars in the sky, which was quite pleasant.
"What are you two doing?" the finch was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the two men, but she could not speak.
"Blowing the wind, the girl has just eaten and drunk, and it is not suitable for rest. ”
It's not suitable for rest, but you just said something, and I walked to the guest room by myself stupidly, and you two slipped away first.
At this time, the merchant ships of the Zhao family gradually disappeared into the night.
"Who is this Zhao Chengfeng?" Lin Qi asked Que'er.
The finch wanted to speak and stopped.
Seeing that she was in a trance, as if there was something unspeakable, Lin Qi couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's actually nothing ......" Que'er groaned, and seemed to finally muster up the courage, "My previous master is actually Zhao Chengfeng!"
"Huh?"
"Although I'm just a little girl, I can't get into Zhao Chengfeng's eyes, I can really see the true face of this person, he ...... He...... He actually likes to abuse others, and many maids, and even concubines, have been tortured by him to death, and even ......" As he spoke, the finch's eyes dilated, and it seemed that she was gradually immersed in her own fear, unable to continue.
Seeing this situation, Lin Qi raised his hand and put it on Que'er's shoulder, passing through a trace of true qi to help her calm down.
"It's okay, it's all over, you're with a good master now, aren't you?" Among the various joints, Lin Qi doesn't want to ask anymore, this kind of person with a sick psychology is said to abound among the children of rich families, and Lin Qi doesn't want to have too much contact.
The finch nodded, as if to calm down.
"Yes, Miss is a good person, I will protect her even if I fight to the death. The seemingly timid finch seemed to be extremely strong when she said these words, and it was impossible to doubt her determination at all.
"By the way, Sister Combing is not an ordinary person, Zhao Chengfeng's family affairs, this kind of personality, I don't dare to use force on her, and even treat her politely, I must have some concerns!"
Speaking of this, the finch seemed to be very proud, and the previous horror seemed to be swept away.
"Of course, my master is the first prostitute in Yangzhou, the piano and dance are unique, and the praise is spread on both sides of the river, no one knows, no one knows!"
"Prostitute!" Hotaru was surprised.
"Hey, don't think about it, my master is a prostitute, not a prostitute, and he doesn't sell his body, many famous people praise my master's morality, but it's not as dirty as you think!"
Firefly nodded as if she didn't understand, and the finch was almost angry, and wanted to continue to justify, but looking at Firefly's appearance, she could only feel powerless, and she didn't have any temper.
Lin Qi didn't expect that such a woman should be called the first prostitute in Yangzhou, it is definitely not too much, such a reputation is outside, a businessman like Zhao Chengfeng naturally cares about reputation very much, even if the power is monstrous, he does not dare to blatantly take it by force, and he will be punished by the people.
"What kind of business is this Zhao Chengfeng, he looks very rich. ”
The finch looked at him and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's more, Zhao Chengfeng's background is not small, although he does not have an official position, but secretly, people call him Xiao Taishou!"
"En?" Lin Qi was taken aback again, this kind of title is not just a joke, is he really a royal clansman?
"The Zhao family is mainly engaged in money and cloth business, and in some wine shops and inns, they also have some shares, and there are some secret businesses, which are complicated, and no one knows how big the Zhao family is!"
"Actually, the Zhao family was not surnamed Zhao, it was a woman of the Zhao family, married to the emperor as a concubine, and was later given the imperial surname, although it was not included in the royal family tree, not subject to the lord, but it can be regarded as the grace of God. ”
"The Zhao family in order to thank the emperor for his kindness, do not forget the grace of the concubine, this son named Zhao Chengfeng, I didn't expect this Zhao Chengfeng is also a character, the Zhao family in his hands, but also more and more solid and rich, the strength of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, is also one in ten thousand, Zhao Chengfeng black and white two ways, the family even has a Xuanmen monk, all the geniuses, can be described as hands and eyes to the sky, and some people even said, rather provoke Emperor Wu City too shou, do not commit Zhao family Chengfeng, he has the title of little Taishou. ”
After listening to the introduction of the finch, Lin Qi realized that it was no wonder that there was no one in this person's eyes, and the background was so scary.
Although Lin Qi doesn't care about this kind of wealthy family, this is indeed a great existence in the world.
At this moment, in the painting boat, there was a sudden burst of beautiful piano sound, this piano sound, like melodious, clear and moving, clear as splashing jade, trembling like a dragon's chant, for a while like a flying spring and waves, for a while like a waterfall and a sea of cross-current, only to listen to people so drunk.
"This is ......" Lin Qi closed his eyes and sniffed carefully, his intuition was euphemistic, and even the active little girl calmed down at this time and closed her eyes to admire.
"It's Miss, Miss Piano and Dance are unique, many people say that Miss's piano has everyone's spirit!"
Suddenly, the wind of the piano turned, and the sound of the piano suddenly became tactful and resentful, and a strong feeling of grief and sorrow was mixed with it.
Just when everyone was puzzled, there was another singing.
"Since I slept,
Nowhere to send acacia,
Long night without moon,
Who knows this hatred.
There are only parting tears in the dream,
When I wake up from my dream and want to see it,
Jinyan doesn't know where to go,
Leaving her daughter alone in love.
True, is it false?
Is it makeup? Is it wiping?
When you are full of sorrow!
......”
The song is sad and resentful, and the heart is about to break when I hear it.
"What's wrong with my sister?" Even the little girl was moved at this time.
"It's hard to put into words!" the finch looked sad, only hating the word, and she couldn't help it anyway.
At this moment, Lin Qi suddenly stepped onto the bow of the boat and looked into the distance.
"Girl, there's no time to express your sorrow!"
The finch was startled and puzzled, but Firefly instantly recovered and came to Lin Qi's side.
In the darkness in the distance, the shadow of a ship gradually appeared, approaching the painted boat, menacing!
