Yingzhou South County.

When the news of the defeat of the army came, everyone from the dignitaries to the peddlers and pawns were full of joy.

The depressed and deserted market has regained its former prosperity, the sound of buying and selling along the street is endless, the wine shops and teahouses are staggered, and people are talking about their origins, and there is a noisy atmosphere of high emotions everywhere.

Because—

The clouds of war that hung over them had finally lifted completely.

War is terrible.

Even the illiterate people at the bottom know the cruelty of war.

War means killing, it means death, it means breaking up wives and families......

Especially under the propaganda of the government and the people who fled from the north.

In the minds of the people of South County, the Relief Army has become a devouring flood beast.

Once the South County is lost.

They will burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil.

Among them, Su Yunxiao of the Rescue Army was described as a demon who likes cannibalism, and he loves children's meat the most, and he has to eat a pair of boys and girls every time he eats.

This made the general public, who did not know the truth, even more panicked after hearing about it.

Fortunately, thanks to the mighty and brave soldiers of the imperial court, Wanyang defeated the Relief Army in one battle, and killed the thief leader Su Yunxiao in one fell swoop.

Of course.

These are all publicized by the government after screening and modification.

People who don't know the inside story will naturally subconsciously blindly listen to the letter.

"A bunch of ignorant fools. ”

Yunmeng Riverside.

On top of a palatial restaurant.

A young man in a splendid robe had a slightly drunken look on his face.

When I heard the surrounding drinkers talking about how the imperial court was mighty in the battle of Wanyang.

The young people couldn't help but shake their heads with a hint of sarcasm.

"Brother Fang, why bother with a group of ignorant people. ”

At the table.

A young man, also well-dressed, raised his glass and complimented.

"Brother Yongsheng, you don't understand. ”

The young man shook his head and said as if everyone in the world was drunk and I was sober.

"The inside story of this battle of Wanyang is ten times more complicated than you think. ”

"Oh, then Yongsheng would like to hear about it. ”

The young man smiled and poured wine into each other's cups.

"Brother Yongsheng, do you remember Ma Niancai?"

The young man took a sip from his glass and said meaningfully.

"Of course Yongsheng remembers, this Ma Niancai has always been arrogant, he has never known how to fight with Brother Fang, and later heard that he offended a master, so that Lord Zhizhou personally came to the door to apologize, although the master was magnanimous and spared Ma Niancai, but I didn't expect our Lord Zhizhou to be ruthless and expelled Ma Niancai from the house, not only severing the relationship between father and son, but also removing the name from the family tree......"

The young man sighed with emotion.

"There is no greater impermanence in life than this!"

"If Brother Yongsheng knew the true identity of that master, maybe you would understand why our Lord Zhizhou wanted to kill his relatives in righteousness. ”

Fang Gongzi shook the wine glass in his hand and chuckled.

"Dare to ask Brother Fang, who is this master?"

The young man wondered.

"It was a peerless man we couldn't reach in our lifetimes. ”

Fang Gongzi said with mixed tastes in his heart.

"Peerless Great?!!Could it be ......" The young man thought for a moment, and then his face changed slightly. "The other party is a ...... comparable to the one on Jiangxin Island"

"Hehe......"

But Fang Gongzi smiled and said nothing.

Some words.

He didn't dare to say it, he couldn't say it.

True.

Jiangxin Island is indeed one of the best people in their eyes.

But in front of the big man he was referring to, Jiang Xindao was not worthy of lifting shoes for the other party.

"In this way, it's no wonder that our Lord Zhizhou will not hesitate to kill his relatives in righteousness......"

The young man seemed to have come to his senses.

"The wine is almost drunk, let's go. ”

Fang Gongzi shook his head happily, got up and prepared to leave.

"Brother Fang, are you going to Tianxiang Courtyard tonight?"

Out of the restaurant.

The young man asked as he followed Fang Gongzi's side.

"No, Miss Yingying is gone, what's the point of going to Tianxiangyuan now!"

Fang Gongzi waved his hand.

"Brother Fang, since Tianxiang Courtyard is not interesting, what about the Yuanchun Pavilion? Yongsheng has heard that these two Yuanchun Pavilions are ......."

The young man said hurriedly.

"No need, let's go home. ”

Before the young man finished speaking, Fang Gongzi directly interrupted.

"Ever since I met Miss Yingying, my son has no interest in these vulgar fans. ”

"Then Yongsheng can only send Brother Fang off. ”

The young man said helplessly.

"Let's leave it at that!"

Fang Gongzi nodded, casually arched his hand towards the young man and got into the carriage, and then slowly left the restaurant under the escort of his entourage.

"Childe, where are we going next?"

After the young man watched Fang Gongzi's carriage leave, the attendant beside him suddenly asked softly.

"Yuanchun Pavilion!"

The young man snorted, turned around, and got into his carriage.

He admitted.

The warbler girl is indeed stunning.

Otherwise, Ma Niancai and Fang Gongzi would not have fought for her often.

But for young people.

The warbler girl belongs to an existence that can only be watched from a distance and cannot be played with.

Beauty.

It has always been only for the strong.

And the young man is not at the level where he can compete with Fang Gongzi for women, and he even usually has to curry favor with each other.

Let alone.

Is it interesting to have a woman who can't eat in her mouth?

On weekdays, he pretends to be tall, but in the end he doesn't want to climb into someone's bed?

He'd heard about it.

At the beginning, Ma Niancai and Fang Gongzi tried their best to meet Miss Yingying, but in the end, they didn't even touch their hands.

This is simply unreasonable in the eyes of young people.

Hum!

If you change yourself.

What is a clean person, what kind of art is not a sell-out.

He didn't believe that there was no Qinglou woman who couldn't eat in his mouth.

Not much.

The young man came to the Motoharukan.

"Young Master Ruan, you're here!"

As soon as I entered the door, there was an old bustard in the hall who was showing flowers and branches to greet him warmly.

"Hmm. Ruan Yongsheng nodded nonchalantly. "My son is here tonight with the cherry blossom girl. ”

"Young Master Ruan, you are not the only guest who came tonight with the daughter of the slave family's Cai Ying. The old bustard covered his mouth with a towel in his hand and chuckled. "If Gongzi Ruan wants to see Caiying's daughter, I'm afraid it will take a little more effort tonight~"

"Hmph! This son naturally knows the rules. Ruan Yongsheng snorted coldly. "But if this son asks for a lottery head at that time, and finally finds that this colorful cherry girl is famous, it is better to meet, and this son will not give you any good fruit to eat. ”

"Look at what Ruan Gongzi said, even if the slave family has the courage to fool you, they don't dare to fool you. The bustard said with a smile still on his face. "Otherwise, there will be no need for Ruan Gongzi at that time, and the other distinguished guests will be able to demolish us. ”

"It seems that you are very confident in your daughter!"

Ruan Gongzi raised his eyebrows.

"It's not the slave family's boasting, the slave's Caiying daughter and the warbler girl from Tianxiangyuan can be said to have their own merits, and there is no inferiority. ”

The old bustard raised his white chest and swore solemnly.

"Okay, I want to see if this cherry girl is what you say. ”

Ruan Yongsheng suddenly became interested.

"Young Master Ruan, please come with the slave family. ”

said.

The old bustard led Ruan Yongsheng step by step to the lobby.

The lobby is almost full of guests.

But they are talking about each other, but there is no girl by their side.

When one of them saw the bustard, he immediately called out impatiently.

"Isn't the flower girl ready yet?"

"yes, mom, how long are you going to keep us waiting?"

"Flower Mom ......"

After the old bustard placed Ruan Yongsheng in a seat, he smiled unhurriedly at the boiling guests.

"Everyone, please don't be impatient, the slave family will go to Caisai's daughter to take a look. ”

"Hmph! Tianxiangyuan is not very easy to learn!"

Ruan Yongsheng casually glanced around, and couldn't help muttering.

For the colorful cherry girl of the Motoharu Pavilion.

Ruan Yongsheng only heard his name but did not see him.

But he heard that the first appearance of the colorful cherry girl attracted countless high-rollers to chase after her, quite the style of the original warbler girl.

Yuanchun Pavilion saw this.

Immediately learned Tenka-in.

Want to meet Sakura Girl? Yes!

The highest bidder wins.

Result –

Instead of demolishing the Yuanchun Pavilion, these high-rollers chased each other even more frantically.

Thus.

The cherry blossom girl may really be as the bustard said, and she is a top Oiran who is not inferior to the warbler girl!

Originally, Ruan Yongsheng wanted to invite Fang Gongzi to come to the Yuanchun Pavilion together, the purpose was to ask for the color to borrow flowers and offer Buddha.

Clinker Fang Gongzi has always been obsessed with the warbler girl.

Therefore, Ruan Yongsheng simply came in person.

If Miss Caiying really lives up to her reputation, in the end, no matter what he says, he will pull Fang Gongzi to meet each other.

Once Fang Gongzi is satisfied, the benefits will naturally go without saying.

Moment.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded on the platform in the lobby.

The noisy guests gradually fell silent.

I saw the bustard slowly walk up to the stage, and announced with a smile that the cherry girl was ready to welcome the guests, and then asked all the distinguished guests to rely on their financial resources to see who could be the guest of the cherry girl tonight.

"One hundred taels!"

Before the bustard finished announcing, some high-rollers in the audience couldn't help but shout loudly.

"One hundred taels is embarrassing to call out? One thousand taels! Tonight, this son is bound to win the color cherry girl!"

"Fifteen hundred taels!" said another high roller. "It's inevitable?!I'd like to see how you, a guy who hasn't even grown hair, is bound to win!"

"One thousand eight taels!" someone in the audience shouted again.

"Two thousand!"

"Two thousand five!"

“......”

As the price rose step by step, Ruan Yongsheng drank tea unhurriedly, and quietly observed the high-rollers in the field.

When the price shouted to 5,000 taels.

Most of the high rollers have died down, but there are only three or five who are still competing with each other.

"Ten thousand taels!"

Ruan Yongsheng naturally recognized these high rollers.

After all, Nanjun is so big, and there are only a handful of people who have such financial resources and are willing to spend a lot of money for a Qinglou woman, and they basically don't look up and see each other on weekdays.

But in front of their Nanjun Ruan family.

than financial resources?

He's not aiming at anyone, he's referring to everyone here as a joke!

Ruan Vinh Thanh slowly raised his hand and decided to end this farce.

"Ten thousand taels?!"

"Isn't that Ruan Yongsheng, the eldest son of the Ruan family?"

"The Ruan family, a giant merchant in Nanjun?"

"Tsk, the Ruan family's son's shot is really extraordinary, I don't think everyone here has to fight. ”

When the bidders saw that it was Ruan Yongsheng who made the bid, they all shook their heads at each other.

Even if they did have the financial resources to compete, they didn't want to offend Ruan Yongsheng, after all, they had some business dealings with the Ruan family.

"Ruan Gongzi bid 10,000 taels! If there is no higher price than this! Then the slave family will congratulate Ruan Gongzi on becoming the guest of the colorful cherry girl tonight!"

Stage.

The bustard was almost smiling.

Seeing that the old bustard was about to make a final decision, a lazy voice suddenly sounded in the corner.

"Three thousand taels!"

As soon as the words fell, it immediately caused an uproar and laughter among the high-rollers in the lobby.

"Three thousand taels?!"

"Haha! Isn't Brother Tai here to deliberately stir up the situation?"

"Brother, do you have a problem with your ears?

At this time, everyone looked into the corner.

I saw a young man with a wide body, a fat body, and a fair face, who was carelessly knocking on the dried fruits on the table.

"I'm talking about gold!

When the young man noticed the focused gaze, he spat out a mouthful of dried fruit peel unhurriedly.

"Three thousand taels of gold?!"

"That is ...... for silver Twenty-four thousand taels ......"

"Twenty-four thousand taels?"

This made the high rollers present boil even more.

"Five thousand taels of gold!"

Ruan Yongsheng frowned and looked at the young man in the corner, he had the impression that he didn't seem to have seen this person in Nanjun, could it be the son of a big family who had recently fled to Nanjun?

"Ten thousand. ”

The young man raised his head and happened to meet Ruan Yongsheng's gaze, and a kind smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Twelve thousand!"

Ruan Yongsheng turned his head in disgust.

"Twenty thousand. ”

The young man understated.

"Wow......"

This time.

The whole hall stared in amazement at the young man from unknown sources in the corner.

20,000 taels of gold?

Just to see the Sakura girl?!

Is he crazy?!

That's not how money is spent!

"Twenty thousand taels of gold?!What a big breath!" Ruan Yongsheng's face instantly sank like water. "As long as you have the ability to take out these 20,000 taels of gold tonight!

Did he think 20,000 taels of gold was a concept?

Although the wealthy Ruan Yongsheng can indeed take out the money, he will also feel pain.

What's more, he has no problem with his brain.

How could it be possible to spend thousands of dollars for a woman in a green house?

When Ruan Yongsheng's head calmed down, he immediately realized that there might be fraud in this.

"Twenty thousand taels of gold, isn't it?"

Unexpectedly, the young man slowly got up and walked to the front of the stage step by step.

Immediately, he took out a large pile of silver tickets from his bulging arms and raised them casually, and silver tickets marked with thousands of gold flew all over the sky.

"It's true...... And ......"

The old bustard stupidly touched a silver ticket that fell on her head and put it in front of her eyes, and after carefully checking the authenticity of the silver ticket, she stumbled and spoke.

"This is still a large golden ticket of the Ruan family's money bank. ”

"What? The golden ticket of our Ruan family's money bank?"

Ruan Yongsheng was stunned when he heard this.

The next moment.

He got up and picked up a silver ticket that had landed nearby.

Sure enough.

No one knew better than him that the silver ticket in his hand was indeed from their Ruan family's bank.

"Since the money is real, why don't you take me to see Miss Sai Sakura in a hurry?"

The young man who finished scattering the money said impatiently to the old bustard on the stage,

"Okay, okay! Childe! The slave family will take Childe to see Rainbow Girl!"

The old bustard came back to his senses and hurriedly showed a flattering smile, and at the same time did not forget to make a color to the big stupid teapot and the girls in the hall.

Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and pick up the old lady's money! One less look at the old lady who doesn't peel your skin!

"Young man, compare your financial resources with me? I lack everything in my life, but I don't lack money!"

When passing by Ruan Yongsheng's side.

The young man said to him with a smirk.

"Who the hell are you?"

Ruan Yongsheng stared at the other party with a cold look in his eyes.

"Have you ever heard of Yaozhou Zhongli's home?"

The young man dropped a word, waved his hand and followed the bustard.

"Yaozhou Zhongli ......"

Ruan Yongsheng frowned and muttered.

Of course, he knew that Yaozhou Zhongli's family was once a famous and wealthy man in the Great Jin Dynasty.

But the question is, didn't Yaozhou Zhongli's family go bankrupt decades ago?

And where did the person who claimed to be Yaozhou Zhongli's family come out in front of him? The most important thing is why the other party is holding all the silver tickets of their Ruan family?

"Check this person for Ben Gongzi!"

Ruan Yongsheng's expression was uncertain, and he summoned his entourage and gave an order.

"Also, I'll call the steward of the money village to my son later. ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Meanwhile.

The young man had already been led by the bustard to the small pier by the river.

There was a pontoon parked at the wharf, and on the pong boat stood an old man who was in charge of rocking the oars.

"Hurry up, hurry up! ”

The young man jumped into the boat and greeted the old man on board.

"Oh, by the way, you go back, I know the rules. ”

Then he didn't forget to say a word to the stunned bustard on the dock.

“...... The slave family will not disturb the son's Yaxing. ”

The old bustard was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

Why is this son so skilled?

Could it be that —

He'd seen the warbler girl before?

"The young master doesn't look like a person who likes to come to the Qinglou!"

After the boat gradually left the dock, the old man who had been silent suddenly spoke.

"Look at your age, you really don't even have a little eyesight, my son came to the Qinglou as if he went home, the girls in it are all talents, and they can sing and chat, I really like to visit the Qinglou. ”

Then the young man pursed his lips and snorted softly.

“......”

The old man was speechless for a moment, and both hands that were rocking the oars paused.

"What a surprise! Hurry up!" the young man said dissatisfiedly. "Didn't you see that Ben Gongzi was already in a hurry?"

“...... Yes, young master. ”

The old man was silent for a moment.

Not for a while.

The boat slowly approached an ordinary flower boat.

Before the maidservant girl who came to greet her from the boat lowered the ladder, the young man leaped and landed firmly on the board of the boat.

"Well, my brother is going to do business, don't disturb my brother's good deeds. ”

After getting on the boat, the young man casually pinched the face of the little maid on the boat, turned around and walked towards the cabin.

Pull open the door.

Step into the brightly lit cabin.

The young man did not stop, and walked all the way to the gauze curtain in front of him.

"Childe?!"

Behind the gauze curtain.

A sweet voice like a warbler's cry sounded with a little panic and consternation.

The next moment.

The beautiful Sai Sakura girl saw a young man with a wide body and a fat face and a fair face open the curtain, and pounced on her with a lewd smile on her face.

"Little beauty!

And the color cherry girl's face changed, and she subconsciously raised her foot and kicked at the young man who pounced.

"Yo, so proactive?"

The young man casually held the little foot of the cherry blossom girl and grinned and reached out to scratch the other's nose.

The suddenly thin color Sakura girl's face instantly showed a look of shame and indignation, and a flash of silver light in her hand smeared it on the other party's neck.

"Little girls' families, it's not good to play, you have to play with knives. ”

The young man quickly grasped the delicate wrist of the young girl, and the smile on his face was even more serious.

"Childe, please spare the slave's apprentices. ”

At this time.

A languid, feminine voice sounded faintly in the cabin.

"Forget it, I won't tease you. ”

The young man put his hands down and gently pushed the Sakura girl out.

Immediately.

He saw a masked woman with all kinds of charms come out from behind the screen, and reached out to catch the cherry girl.

"I said, you are really a conscientious gold medal mommy, without a warbler, and immediately launch another colorful cherry blossom, how many such girls are there under your hands?"
