At this time, Xiao Yu changed into the most popular Su satin jade white robe among celebrities and scholars, and held a cherished folding fan carved by a famous artist in his hand. Jiangdu is the center of the south of the Yangtze River, the literati and scholars gathered, the wind of gifting the folding fan calligraphy and painting and other elegant things prevailed, this folding fan cost Xiao Yu five thousand taels of silver, the fan bone is made of ivory, the fan bone is shallowly engraved with the quatrain of the Taoist Lu Zu, the font is tiny, quite the three or four points of charm of the book saint of the year, if the folding fan is fully expanded, the fan surface is a picture of the heavenly master ascending the immortal, the smoke is splashed into a mountain of ink, there is a little white eye-catching eye between the layers of mountains, the fairy spirit in the painting is self-generated, at a glance it is the handwriting of the famous artist, and the Lu Zu quatrain on the fan bone complements each other.

Xiao Yu was originally born in a noble family, when he was young, he didn't dare to say that he was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he also had dabbled in it, and his vision was naturally first-class.

The carriage slowly traveled on the bluestone street in Jiangdu City, Xiao Yu lifted the corner of the curtain, glanced at the Qinhuai River parallel to the street, and gently put it down.

Before the carriage stopped at an inconspicuous wharf, Xiao Yu stepped out of the carriage, followed only Qu Cang and Zi Shuiyang, standing on the bank, letting the rain hit him, gently patting his palm with a folding fan, looking at the Qinhuai River under the rain curtain.

As early as the Great Chu period, the Qinhuai River to the Confucius Temple has been called the ten miles of Qinhuai, both sides are the place where the aristocratic families live, and it is also the place where the literati and ink writers gathered. After the proprietor established the country and Zheng, it was prosperous again, the rich gathered, the Qingguan Chu Lou was lined up, and the painting boat Lingbo became the beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River.

The most famous scenery of Qinhuai is the prevailing lightboat in this dynasty, after the lantern, the boat on the river, regardless of size, all hang lanterns, whoever swims the Qinhuai River, must take the lightboat as fast.

Qu Cang stood behind Xiao Yu and held up a large oil-paper umbrella, the fine rain hit the umbrella surface, making a slight crackling sound, Xiao Yu said without looking back: "It seems that we came early." ”

Zi Shuiyang on the side said hesitantly: "Qin Huaihe, the old man came here once fifty years ago, tsk, that time he was almost squeezed out of half of his life by the girl here." ”

Xiao Yu pursed his lips imperceptibly, obviously deeply disdainful of Zi Shuiyang's shameless tone.

Since Lin Han was promoted to the governor of the central capital, Qu Cang, the former commander of the dark guard, has a great tendency to replace his original personal position, first by Xiao Yu's secret order, the establishment of the four major towns of the dark guard mansion, that is, the shadow, the evil tiger, the ghost, and the four directly subordinate secret guards based on the shadow, the evil tiger, the ghost, and the prajna, and then followed Xiao Yu south to the Jiangdu.

The king is not seen, the eunuchs around the king, the maids next to the nobles, and even the attendants of the gods and real people, although the position is low, the power is heavy. There is no shortage of people in the middle capital city who speculate that it may not be long before there will be a right governor in the Northwest Secret Guard Mansion.

Xiao Yu was noncommittal about the "figuring out the intentions" of the people below, but Qu Cang was less agile than Lin Han, but he was more calm and capable, just like buying a folding fan, although the Jiangnan celebrity was not a local in Jiangdu, he was very prestigious in Jiangdu, from the governor to the wealthy family, he had to sell him a little face. The folding fan in his hand, the governor of Jiangdu once jokingly said that he could exchange it for an official hat below the fifth grade, and how could it be bought for a mere five thousand taels of silver. If Qu Cang blindly oppresses people with power, I am afraid it will backfire, and Xiao Yu does not want to expose his identity, but Qu Cang first explained his intention in the name of Du Mingshi, and with Du Mingshi's prestige and identity in Jiangdu, it can be regarded as giving enough face, and showing his official identity, without losing his lining, and finally won this fan with no more than 5,000 taels of silver. This thing is indeed very much in line with Xiao Yu's wishes.

Because it was still early, the three of them found a restaurant, ordered three or five famous dishes from the south of the Yangtze River, and asked for a pot of the restaurant's self-brewed aged daughter Hong, and chatted with a glass to pass the time in the continuous drizzle outside the building.

The reason why Xiao Yu wants to go to Shili Qinhuai this time to take a look is because of his long-standing wish, wanting to see where his knowledge is as famous as Qiutai. The second is also to save some gambling that is not worthy of outsiders, and think carefully in it.

After drinking a pot of wine, no one used their vitality to suppress the wine, Zi Shuiyang and Qu Cang's faces did not change, Xiao Yu was slightly drunk, looked at the window, and said with a smile: "I am familiar with the eastern capital, but this Jiangdu is indeed the first time to come, I don't know which girl is better, or Zi Lao, you can introduce one?"

Zi Shuiyang stroked his beard and said, "How about Zijin Tower, there has always been the name of Xiaoqiutai on this Qinhuai River." ”

Xiao Yu smiled: "Xiaoqiutai? ”

Zi Shuiyang said: "Although it is not as domineering as the autumn platform where the ten floors are connected to the first floor, it will not be too inferior in the Oiran and the Red Girl." ”

Xiao Yu asked Qu Cangdao, "How much silver do we have in our hands?"

After a moment of silence, Qu Cang replied, "There are still eight thousand five hundred taels of silver tickets and one thousand taels of gold tickets left." ”

Zi Shuiyang waved his hand and said, "That's enough, after all, we're only going for one night, and we're not going to redeem the red girl." ”

Zijin Lou is very famous on the Qinhuai River, and Ziming Building, Ziyu Lou and called Qinhuai Sanzi, although it is not the same person, but it is the same owner, as for the true identity of the owner, there are many rumors, some say that it is the chief steward of the Jiangdu Governor's family, and some say that it is the brother of the Jiangdu Governor Lu Lin, and it is said that it is actually the first Xie Gongyi of Jiangzuo who left a handwriting left at will when he traveled to Jiangdu many years ago. There are different opinions, I don't know whether it is true or not, but one thing is certain, that is, the owner behind this Qin Huai Sanzi will not be an ordinary person.

After the three of them settled the bill, they walked out of the restaurant, held an umbrella and walked on the bluestone street along the river, and went straight to the gentle township known as the Pinjin Grotto.

It's not yet time to hold the lamp, the girls who have slept for a day are getting up in twos and threes to make up, and the turtle slave who is guarding the door is standing listlessly on the stone steps at the door, and when they see the three people coming, they were stunned at first, and then immediately piled up a smile, and there was a little more flattery in the smile on weekdays to see the real big people.

The old man on the left, dressed in a purple robe, has an extraordinary temperament, looking like the rumored great grandmaster who can fly to the sky, although the one on the right is a kind face, but he is like an official master who eats people and does not spit out bones, as for the white-clothed man who can walk in the middle, it is even more amazing, can make these two followers, is it not the descendant of a wealthy family?

Needless to say than Xiao Yu, Qu Cang had already taken out an ingot of ten taels of snowflake silver, threw it into the arms of this turtle slave, and said, "I have long heard of the name of Qin Huai Sanzi, and today I came to see it." ”

The turtle slave only weighed it slightly, the smile on his face became brighter, and after putting the silver into his sleeve without a trace, he was doubly courteous and flattered: "The girls haven't gotten up yet, and I'm afraid a few people will have to wait." ”

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "It's okay for us to wait." ”

The turtle slave smiled and promised, and led the three of them into the Purple Gold Building.

At this time, the words of Zijin Lou "mother" is standing on the second floor of Zijin Building, a little bored, although this "mother" is already a, but in that year was also the famous Qin Huai's Oiran, ordinary guests do not enter her eyes, unless it is a dignitary in Jiangdu City who can speak, otherwise even the face is unwilling to show

At this moment, I vaguely saw Sun San's kid leading the three of them into the Zijin Building, and couldn't help but curse secretly, this turtle grandson is becoming more and more ignorant of the rules, this is not yet in charge, how can there be a reason to welcome guests, eighty percent of them were made of money by the guests, and they forgot about it.

However, after the three of them approached, the housekeeper's mother saw that something was wrong, especially after the white-clothed man unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and the eyes of "mother" stopped at him and couldn't move away.

Isn't this the beloved thing of the great Confucian Yuan Meishan? She had a lot of greeting and sending off with the great Confucian when she was young, and she also had a few dew marriages, so she naturally knew the rarity of this folding fan.

Could it be that this boy brother is still a dragon who crosses the river!?

Xiao Yu shook the folding fan, feeling that this style was too famous and gentlemanly, so he closed the folding fan again, and then said: "If you just go shopping around the building, it is better to come to Qiutai and come to the Qinhuai River, you should go to the painting boat to be like words." ”

At this time, the mother in charge had already walked down from the upstairs, and said with a coquettish smile: "What the son said is that we have our own painting boat in the Zijin Building, and after the palm lamp later, the son will have fun." ”
