Originally, Song Nan came to the old capital of Nanjing, firstly, because he wanted to come out to scatter his mind and stay away from the gossip in the capital, and secondly, to find out whether the dead female officials Hongyu and Hongying had leaked the theft of the dragon robe and slaughtered Gu Dayong with their own hands. Kang Ning stayed in the Nanjing Imperial Palace, in fact, there was no danger, and the 'save me' letterhead was actually exaggerated, thinking that Gu Da would use the princess they would inevitably serve to obey, but he was not free.

And now that he has just been here for a night, Song Nan's purpose has shifted, he suddenly has a strong interest in what happened on the Qinhuai River, and the purpose of coming can also be put aside for the time being, and first figure out the fragrant competition on the Qinhuai River with Zhu Chenhao's participation, maybe it is more interesting.

With such a purpose, Song Nan, who originally didn't plan to appear on such an occasion this day, decided to go to the flower boat of Yunxiao Pavilion for another day tonight, and by the way, he could also help Shen Yunyan; If that qiē is really arranged and intentional, his secret help may disrupt some people's plans, thus revealing a lot of valuable information.

In the afternoon of the next day, Song Nan was still dressed as a son, and quietly took Wang Yong and Li Daniu out of the side door of the Jinyi Wei Yamen, Wang Zitong could not accompany him, and Song Nan did not let his people follow to protect, Wang Zitong is the head of the local Jinyi Guard, and he will be noticed wherever he goes, once he follows him, his whereabouts will become no secret.

Song Nan didn't want to enter the flower boat of the Cloud Pavilion in the evening, it was very easy to be seen through, and it was already a very secret act to be chased and escaped on the flower boat last night, if it happened again, anyone would suspect it.

Yunxiao Pavilion is located in the western section of the Qinhuai River, on the bank of a green willow embankment, a pink garden house is located by the river, if it is not for the bustling flow in and out in front of the door, it looks like a big mansion of a rich family at first glance; A row of red lanterns swayed in the wind in front of the door, looking jubilant.

Song Nan came to the door with Wang Yong and Li Daniu, who were also disguised, Song Nan was dressed as a rich boy and immediately attracted the interest of several women in front of the door.

Song Nan was still the same as those Qinglou in the capital at first, these people came forward to scream from the uncle, regardless of the three seven twenty-one holding their arms and dragging them in, but the rules here are obviously very different, these women just smiled and saluted, and they also used the seduction in their eyes, but their words and actions were not exaggerated at all.

"The three sons, please, drink tea or listen to music?" A woman smiled.

Song Nan hasn't really visited the Qinglou yet, he can't hear the difference between drinking tea and listening to music, but he also understands that the so-called drinking tea and listening to music is definitely not drinking tea and listening to music, it must have another meaning.

"Well, we don't drink tea or listen to music, we are here for Miss Yunyan, please give a respect." Song Nan danced with a folding fan of flowers and birds in his hand.

The woman smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that you're here to see Miss Yunyan?" Look at the downstairs over there, so many rich sons and young masters are all here to see Miss Yunyan, when will it be your turn? ”

Song Nan followed her fingers and looked into the hall at the east end of the building, only to see that under the red staircase leading to the second floor, twenty or thirty richly dressed sons were crowded at the staircase, and two ghost slaves stood at the bottom of the stairs and explained with a smile on the stairs.

"See? Just to meet with Miss Yunyan and say a few words and drink a pot of tea, there are so many people waiting in line, and the cost is expensive. Why should this boy go to join in the fun. Besides, Miss Ruyan won't see anyone today, and these people are just waiting for nothing. There are many good-looking girls in our Yunxiao Pavilion, and there are many girls with excellent skills, and if the son wants to be happy, he doesn't have to get together to see the Yunyan girl. The woman smiled.

Song Nan felt that this woman spoke appropriately and was a little eloquent, so she smiled and said, "What the girl said is reasonable, why don't the girl accompany us?" ”

The woman shook her head and smiled: "That's not possible, the slave family is a close guest of Yunxiao Pavilion, but it is not to accompany the guests to drink and chat, the slave family will introduce you to a few others." ”

Song Nan laughed and said: "It turned out that I was afraid that everyone would go to find Miss Yunyan, but the others had no business to do, so I specially sent lobbyists to dredge it, which is interesting and interesting." ”

The woman's face turned slightly red when she was told the purpose: "This son is too smart, why not pretend to be confused." ”

Song Nan laughed and said in a low voice: "Please let the girl report and tell Miss Yunyan, a son surnamed Song came to find her, you ask her if she sees it, if she says she can't see it, I will turn around and leave, I will never be the same as those people here, how about it?" ”

The woman frowned and wondered, "Saying that your surname is Song is useful?" ”

Song Nan waved his hand, Li Daniu handed over a piece of silver, Song Nan stuffed it in the woman's hand and said, "Don't tell you to run in vain, just go and say something, whether it works or not, we'll see later." ”

The woman stopped being verbose, turned her head and instructed the two intimate women beside her to take care of the door, twist her waist step by step, walk towards the side of the courtyard, and disappear behind a rockery. Song Nan smiled and said: There must be a staircase leading to Shen Yunyan's room on the side, and this woman doesn't know how to hide, isn't it all exposed when she walks like this.

After a while, the woman returned the same way, with an incredible look on her face, and the eyes that looked at Song Nan were very different.

"Song Gongzi, Miss Yunyan is invited."

Song Nan smiled and said, "I said it works, but you don't believe it." ”

The woman blushed and said: "Son, please, the slave family has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and please don't talk about it in front of the Yunyan girl, the slave family only comes here as you and everyone else." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said, "I'm not a talkative person, the stairs are in the courtyard on the side, right?" The girl didn't have to accompany me, I went upstairs. ”

The woman was in a daze with her mouth open, Song Nan had already crossed the rockery with Wang Yong and Li Daniu, and went to the side courtyard.

Shen Yunyan's boudoir is very simple, there is no imaginary appearance at all, behind the plain curtain is a dental bed, and the quilt on the bed is also plain, and then there is a table, a few chairs, and a slightly old dresser; A pair of yaoqin is placed on a long table by the window, a bookcase is placed on the west side, paper is spread on it, pen and ink are placed on it, and a pipa is crookedly leaning against the corner of the wall, and a pot of Sulan is in company.

"Song Gongzi, why are you here?" Shen Yunyan couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and his voice was also full of excitement, and he stepped forward, and his mother who was standing on the side also looked at Song Nan with joy in her eyes.

"What, aren't you welcome?" Song Nan smiled.

"How come, the slave family welcomes the son here at any time, as long as the son wants to come, the slave family is waiting for him at any time."

Song Nanha smiled, and Shen Yunyan immediately realized that his words were a little sick, as if he was expressing the meaning that Pengmen would always be open for you.

"These two are my brothers, this Li Gongzi met yesterday, and this one is Wang Gongzi." Song Nan pointed to Wang Yong, Li Daniu, and introduced.

Shen Yunyan stepped forward to salute, Li Daniu and Wang Yong hurriedly returned the salute, in Shen Yunyan's opinion, they could see through their identities at a glance, although these two people, a short and swarthy person, were also wearing robes and holding folding fans, but they didn't look like Gongzi's brothers, they looked like Song Gongzi's followers; But since Song Nan introduced it like this, Shen Yunyan naturally wouldn't break it.

"Three sons, please sit down, Mom, ask someone to make tea."

"Oh oh, the old man will make tea himself, and the three sons will sit for a while."

Mother Sang hurriedly went out to make tea, and after a while, she came in with hot new tea and put it in front of the three of them.

"It's really great that Childe can come, can Childe accompany me to Baiqiao tonight?" There was something snorting in Shen Yunyan's voice.

Song Nan smiled slightly, got up and walked to the table, looked at the ink on the paper and said, "Do you want to take the school calligraphy and painting exam tonight?" ”

Shen Yunyan nodded and said, "Calligraphy and painting, chess skills." ”

Song Nan nodded secretly, the Oiran was chosen for this part, and it was quite attentive, competing not only for appearance and skills, but also for wisdom and talent, so that the selected one is called the Oiran who attaches equal importance to beauty and wisdom and has both skills and talents. Such a woman can satisfy the possessive desire of male society for women even more.

"Calligraphy and painting are the same, chess skills, and the local Go master Deng Ziqi in the judging game is played against each other, and the winning or losing and the number of goals are used as the judging criteria." Shen Yunyan said with a frown.

"I guess you must have chosen calligraphy, because Tang Yin is here, I'm afraid no one dares to choose to paint." Song Nan smacked his lips.

"Yes, I chose calligraphy, and I am going to choose a pair of calligraphy to practice, and write a pair on the spot at night."

Song Nan turned around and smiled: "How sure are you?" It is said that calligraphy and Go are a game, and there are outstanding people among the top ten famous buildings, and Zheng Peipei, who lives by the railing, is said to be the holy hand in chess, and the national player who killed him; I'm afraid it's going to be a difficult time tonight. ”

Shen Yunyan lowered his head and said: "The slave family knows that they can't compare to them, but the slave family doesn't want to admit defeat like this, although the calligraphy and chess skills of the slave family are not excellent, but they have also been instructed by famous teachers, and they have put in a lot of effort, I will show you well tonight." ”

Song Nan sat down with a smile and said, "With all due respect, the odds are not great; Although the words on your case are very expressive, I can see that the pen is light and soft, and the judges must be able to see it; As for chess skills, it depends on the changes in the chess game, and I don't dare to say this; But in terms of calligraphy and painting, I advise you not to choose calligraphy, but to choose painting. Calligraphy seems simple, a pair of words can be done in a moment, but in fact, it is extremely difficult. ”

Shen Yunyan frowned and said, "Does Song Gongzi really think that it is appropriate to draw in front of Tang Yin?" ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "It is easy to see the flaws in the big axe in front of Luban, but we can paint in a different way, even Tang Bohu has never painted a painting, he must not be able to judge; In the case of not having an advantage in strength, if you want to win, you must take the usual path. ”

"Song Gongzi, please advise." Shen Yunyan was infected by Song Nan's confident appearance, and asked with bright eyes.

"Not busy, not busy, when is it? There's no need to rush. Let's talk about it and then do things. ”
