At this time, people came to the hall, only to see a woman who was half-old and still charming, holding a peach vermicelli handkerchief in her left hand, holding an embroidered light Luo fan in her right hand, wearing a well-fitting embroidered cheongsam, and walked over with a graceful smile and greeted: "Yo yo yo, at this time, the two little sons in which house, Mom, I look at the eyes, are you not the first to come to your pavilion?"

When Wang Lianqing saw the visitor, he didn't say much, but Su Rui was very familiar with it, and said nonsense: "I just came to Jindu from Daze City in the south, and my surname is Jia. ”

"Oh, it turned out that it wasn't our son of Jinjing, the rumors are true, but mom, I think the two sons are still young, and they must be less than the age of learning, I advise the two sons to leave, our rules can be strict, and you can't enter the cabinet when you're young." ”

"Mom, don't be in a hurry to drive the two of us away, everything is easy to discuss. After speaking, he walked to the man's side, took out two ingots of silver from his sleeve and handed them to her: "This little bit of heart should be regarded as honoring my mother, my two brothers just came to eat tea and listen to a little song, and they have no other intentions, I hope that my mother can fulfill the two of us." ”

When the old bustard saw the silver in Su Rui's hand, his eyes lit up, he accepted the silver tael handed over by Su Rui, and said with a smile: "Jia Gongzi is generous, and it will be easy to listen to music and eat tea, so I will arrange a place for the two sons." ”

Su Rui smiled and said: "Then it's bothering my mother, and there will be a reward for serving well." ”

Hearing this, the old bustard happily shouted to the inner hall: "Cuihua, two distinguished guests, please go to the second floor of your room." He looked at Su Rui and Wang Lianqing with interest.

Come to this kind of fireworks land, as long as you have money, you are the master, the old bustard saw that Su Rui made a generous move, and he would become her guest of honor without saying a word. Su Rui estimated that he must have visited the Qinglou before, and he could guess from his familiar appearance that Wang Lianqing was ashamed to come to this kind of fireworks and willow alley for the first time.

"It's coming!" should be called, only to see a woman who is twenty or eight years old walking towards them, Wang Lianqing and Su Rui looked at the visitor, and couldn't help but feel how could there be such a strange person, only to see the woman who came in response to the voice with a big waist and a round waist, plump breasts and fat buttocks, her hair combed with two braids, her head and neck thick, her eyes were Mixi, her fleshy face was round, and there was a big black mole on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this woman's appearance, she also walked over like Liu Ruo Fufeng, the two glanced at each other, and wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

When the woman named Cuihua came to her side to salute, the old bustard instructed her to arrange for Wang Lianqing and Su Rui to go upstairs, and then said to Su Rui: "The Qing people who sing the song will arrange it for you immediately, and it will be over in a while, and the tea will be sent to the big teapot (turtle gong) in the pavilion after the two sons enter the room, and the two sons will have a good time, and they need to say hello." ”

"Then I thanked my mother, and asked my mother to send some good-looking people over, so that the two of us could have a good experience. Su Rui thought of the existence of the woman Cuihua, and did not forget to remind the old bustard to be a good-looking girl.

"Childe rest assured, he will definitely not let Childe down. After saying that, Cuihua led the two to the private room on the second floor, the two followed Cuihua up the stairs, Su Ruidong looked around, Wang Lianqing followed behind with his head bowed embarrassedly, passing by the corridor on the second floor, passing by the men and women on the second floor, occasionally hearing the call of the woman's voice, Wang Lianqing's face was red to the root of his ears, about a while, Cuihua led the two to the ground, opened the door for them, and told them to wait here, so they took their leave.

Seeing Cuihua say goodbye and leave, Wang Lianqing saw that there was no one else, and immediately rushed into the door, embarrassed, seeing Wang Lianqing's situation, Su Rui, who was following behind, laughed and said: "Hahaha, third brother, Cuihua girl is really smart!"

Wang Lianqing, who heard Su Rui's words, was almost not shocked by his words and staggered to the ground, the two entered the house, and saw that the house was quite bookish and fragrant, but mixed with the daughter incense in the woman's boudoir, the scenery was delicate and elegant, and the two sat on the couch of tea, just waiting for someone to talk about some small songs.

The carriage at the entrance of Fu'an Street, I saw Su Su leading everyone to buy it, and found that Su Rui and Wang Lianqing were not in the car, Zhao Zhishou reported to Su Rui before leaving, and the little girl angrily asked everyone to go home, and muttered: "Second brother of the dead liar, take Brother Xiaoqing badly, hum." "If the two of them were here, they would have been surprised, and the little girl guessed very accurately. But it seemed that she thought of something, and the little girl who was alone in the carriage laughed to herself, muttering: "I don't know what gift Brother Xiaoqing wants to give me, I like whatever I give, hehe." ”

The carriage moved forward and disappeared at the entrance of Fu'an Street.

A private room on the second floor of the Lai Chun Court.

Wang Lianqing had recovered from the shy look just now, and it felt ridiculous to think about these things today. I have never met a person like Su Li, and I think that although his friend Liu Jiren is eccentric and often takes him into trouble, compared to Su Li, it is a world of difference.

The first time I took my younger brother who had just started to go out for a walk, I dared to come to visit the Qinglou, which was simply bold.

Wang Lianqing looked at Su Rui, who was familiar with the road, and said: "Second brother, do you often come to this kind of place, why don't you be frightened, are you a frequent visitor?"

Hearing Wang Lianqing say this, he replied with a smile: "Your second brother really doesn't come often, he has been here twice, and he was brought by others, but we are very well-behaved, just eat tea and listen to music and appreciate the beauty." ”

Wang Lianqing was suspicious, stared into his eyes in disbelief and asked, "Really only came twice?"

Seeing Wang Lianqing ask like this, Su Rui replied embarrassedly: "Four times, really, just four times." ”

Wang Lian gave him a clear look, and Su Rui smiled tremblingly.

At this time, there was a knock at the door, and Su Rui said, "Come in." ”

I saw two big teapots with the appearance of white servants holding plates of fresh fruits and a pot of tea, and came in to salute, "Two sons, your tea has been delivered." ”

"Well, put it down. ”

"Yes" The two put their things on the foot, poured two cups of tea, and said goodbye: "The two sons will come later, and the Qingqi people will come soon." ”

Suri nodded, and the two bowed and left.

Taking the two of them away, Su Rui picked up the teacup in front of him, gently blew the tea noodles with the cup cap, the hot tea cooled a little, took a sip carefully, and said to Wang Lianqing with a smile: "Third brother, let's be relieved here, take a good rest, these sisters are not big insects that eat people, don't be too restrained." ”

Wang Lianqing nodded helplessly, now that he was a pawn who had crossed the river, he couldn't turn back, so he had to settle down, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip carefully, and sat cross-legged on the couch.

"Knock knock!" There was a crisp knock on the door, and Su Rui and Wang Lianqing raised their eyes to look, but the Qingqi people who were talking about the song came. Suri put down the teacup in his hand, straightened his clothes, and shouted outside the door, "Come in." ”

I saw that there were three people who came to the entrance for the first time, and when they entered the door, the three of them were dressed in long skirts, about the age of the beginning of the melon word, and they were born with a heart of orchid and pink makeup. I saw one person empty-handed, one holding the piano in his arms, and one person stroking the pipa, Lianbu gently moved the money towards the two, walked closer, bowed slightly, and said: "Slave Lan Yan, the two sisters Lan Zhi Lanxin came to play the song, and the two sons have been waiting for a long time." ”

Wang Lianqing Su Rui got up and said politely: "The three girls don't need to be polite, it's rare to see the true art, it's our honor." ”

The sister named Lan Yan at the head couldn't help but blush slightly when she heard Su Rui speak like this, and replied: "Son-in-law is too modest, I'll play for the two sons when I wait." ”

Su Rui said: "Girl, please take it, the two of us will listen to it and see the girl's demeanor." ”

The three of them saluted and walked to the small stage opposite the two, and the sister who was headed cleared her throat and motioned to Lan Zhi, who was sitting on the side, and Lan Xin, who was playing the pipa, nodded.

The sound of the faint piano sounded crisply in the room, empty and smart, fascinating, and I could hear the pipa vomiting and mocking, and there was another kind of style, led by Lan Yan sang quietly:

Evening dreams of frost and cold flowers,

Autumn is deep and people are sad.

Outside the pavilion,

In the West Chamber,

Tears as lovesick rain,

The leaves fall and the autumn wind becomes yesterday.

The Tears Mountain League,

I don't know who is with,

Yesterday was empty.

The moon is bright in the peach blossom fan,

The peony pavilion sells wine sorrows.

hairpin-headed phoenix,

Today is not yesterday.

A cut of sorrowful plums,

Lunon is empty and thin.

Is it sorrow?

It seems to be sorrowful.

A song of red silk,

The dream is frightening, the soul is empty and gloomy.

Wang Lianqing, who was sitting opposite, closed his eyes and listened, only hearing the sadness in the song. Su Rui listened very carefully, shaking his head from time to time, as if he was quite obsessed with it.

After the song ended, Wang Lianqing woke up from his mind, and Su Rui said to the three of them: "Okay." ”

Lan Yan said: "The song sung by the slave family is a song that is widely sung in Beijing, and it is the "Dream Elegy" mentioned by a down-and-out scholar surnamed Wang, which is full of lovesickness and sorrow that he wants to love but can't, so the statement is quite sad. ”

Su Rui looked at Wang Lianqing, he must have been interested in what Lan Yan said about the down-and-out scholar surnamed Wang, and alluded to it, Wang Lianqing smiled bitterly, it turned out that this word was a down-and-out scholar, so it was no wonder.

After that, the three of them brought the famous songs sung in Beijing, "Ni Dress Song", "Sunset Antique", "Lang Feisha", etc., a song for a while, provoked Wang Lianqing to have a good aftertaste, Su Rui also applauded, Wang Lianqing then knew why Su Rui often patronized this fireworks willow lane, Qing Song beauty, wine and tea, naturally very comfortable.

The setting sun caresses the city gate in the west, and the afterglow sprinkles all over the capital of Jinjing. In the room on the second floor of the Qingsi Pavilion in the East Garden of the Su Family, Ah Xiu sat in a daze on the guest seat in the room, and somehow, she began to get upset, and unconsciously stood up and walked around the room.

After a while, she realized her own actions, and secretly scolded herself for what was wrong, and then she thought of something, it was because the young master was gone, and she came back alone, she secretly scolded herself for not being angry, this young master has only been in contact for two days, how can she be so uncontrollable.

Later in the evening, Wang Lianqing and Su Rui appeared at the gate of the Su family, Su Rui smiled and hugged Wang Lianqing into the house, and the servants saluted one after another, Su Rui just waved his hand, and did not pay much attention to take Wang Lianqing to continue to walk to the inner courtyard.

When he arrived at Dongyuan, Wang Lianqing saw that it was getting late and the meal had passed, so he said goodbye to Su Rui and asked him to report to the second elder on his behalf, and Ming'er would go to ask for peace again.

Su Rui smiled and said: "Look at you, you are in a hurry to go back to see Ah Xiu, third brother, don't tell me that I didn't remind you, there is a difference between master and servant, Mo Xue Second Uncle Go, hey, don't say it, remember my words." ”

"Second uncle?" Wang Lianqing was puzzled

"Don't ask more, for your own good, and the gift you bought yourself to give to Su Su's girl, so as not to say that you are not sincere, I will leave. ”

"Got it, the second brother walked slowly. Wang Lianqing said

Su Rui left, Wang Lianqing walked through the hall, came to the gate of his courtyard, the sky began to darken, and saw that there was a light on the second floor, Wang Lianqing knew that it was Ah Xiu and went upstairs.

Ah Xiu, who was sitting in a daze, heard footsteps coming up from downstairs, and immediately ran to the staircase excitedly and asked, "Is the young master back?"

"Ah Xiu, it's me. Wang Lianqing's voice came.

"Young master, you are finally back, people are worried about death. Ah Xiu said angrily.

Wang Lianqing went upstairs, saw Ah Xiu waiting for him at the staircase, smiled, and then said: "It's all to blame on the second brother, it's too unobtrusive, you have to take me around to buy a gift, and I haven't come back until now." "Before Wang Lianqing and Su Rui went home, they discussed it, and they would never talk about it, so they naturally wanted to hide it.

"Oh, it's good to come back safely, the young master must be hungry, I'll go and bring you food." He said happily and wanted to go downstairs.

Wang Lianqing hurriedly said, "Don't be busy, you come here." ”

Hearing Wang Lianqing's words, Ah Xiu slowly walked in front of him and stopped, Ah Xiu looked at him suspiciously.

Wang Lianqing stepped forward and walked up to Ah Xiu, grabbed her right hand, picked up something from her arms, put it in the palm of her jade hand and said, "Come, it's for you." After speaking, Wang Lianqing put down his hand.

Ah Xiu opened his hand, there was a sachet embroidered with color patterns, quite delicate, a faint orchid fragrance and various spices came, very comfortable, looking at the sachet, Ah Xiu was very moved. Wang Lianqing asked, "Do you like it?"

"Thank you, young master, Ah Xiu likes it very much. "After saying that, I put it away, and I was very happy.

"That's good. ”

"Young master, you go to the room to rest for a while, and I'll go get you some food." ”

"Okay, be careful on the road. ”

"Hmm. ”

On the way to the miscellaneous garden, Ah Xiu smiled like a flower, holding the sachet in her hand, as if she had obtained a treasure.

After dinner, Wang Lianqing took a hot bath and lay on the bed, perhaps after a day of shopping, he was tired and fell asleep early.
