In September of the tenth year of Chengping, at the end of summer, there were two major events in Qingshui County recently.

First, there is an Oiran from Chunxianglou, named Lu Yanyan, I heard that the long one is called a beautiful one, and the piano skills are exquisite, and the songs are also good. On the day of the first performance, Chunxiang Lou was crowded. There is a charge for entering the building on the same day, five taels of silver per person, although it is very expensive, the hall in the building is still full of people, the Pei Dynasty is prosperous, the people live a good life, and they have money, so the enjoyment of the spiritual world is more needed. Listening to the people who entered the building, Lu Yanyan was simply a country and a city that day, wearing a bright red light shirt, long black hair hanging down on her chest, she knelt there, stroked the piano with ten fingers, her lips opened lightly, a song "Menghualu", singing that is called a good sound. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yanyan was a geisha, she wouldn't be able to sell her body if she didn't sell her body, and those who wanted to spend a lot of money and her Spring Festival would have been able to line up to go around Qingshui Lake.

The second is that Qingshui County has changed to a new county order, this person was originally a staff member of Li Heng, the assassin of Yangzhou, who is over fifty years old. I think it was Lord Assassin Shi who remembered his loyalty to the Lord and was arranged to retire in this beautiful place. As the saying goes, there are three fires for the new official to take office, but the new county magistrate Zhang Qian Zhang is very low-key, quietly taking office, working quietly, if it were not for the notice posted in front of the county yamen, the people would not know that there is such a county order. However, Lord Zhang has a son who is not very low-key, and a month after Lord Zhang took office, his family also came to Qingshui County, including his only son Zhang Minghua.

After Zhang Minghua arrived in Qingshui County, he heard that a stunning Oiran had come to Chunxianglou, so he couldn't wait to go. may have been in Yangzhou for too long, and his father was only a staff member in Yangzhou, and he couldn't be called powerful, so he couldn't be publicized at that time. Now that he has come to Qingshui County, which is hundreds of miles away, his father is still the parent official here, so this is his own world. Zhang Minghua played unscrupulously in Chunxianglou that night, and when he saw the girl after getting drunk, he went up to pick up other people's clothes, and even forcibly broke into Lu Yanyan's boudoir, climbed onto someone's bed, and scared this Oiran until her face was pale. The mother in the building really had no choice, so she went to the county office to meet Master Zhang in person. Zhang Qian personally led someone to take the disheveled Zhang Minghua back, and even gave his son a slap in front of everyone in Chunxianglou. This matter quickly spread in Qingshui County, and Lord Zhang got a good reputation for being honest and strict, but he felt sorry for him, how could such a good parent give birth to an unbearable son.

"I heard that that day, Zhang Minghua almost stripped off Lu Yanyan's clothes, if it wasn't for Qin's mother to invite Master Zhang, if it was a little later, the Oiran would have been ruined" Miki said inarticulate while gnawing on the chicken butt, his face was covered with oil stains and sweat.

"It's too presumptuous, how could Master Zhang give birth to such a vulgar son, but the anger is that I wasn't there at the time, if I was there, I would definitely teach that guy a lesson" Chen Lian was also there, even when he was burning the fire and roasting chicken, he was still wearing the gray and cyan scholar's robe, this was to deal with his father, no matter how he tossed outside, he could wear this dress to go home, and his father always had a little hope.

"Come on, you, just your wild kung fu, Zhang Minghua brought a lot of family members with him that day, if you were here, you would definitely break your arms and legs" Miki finished eating the chicken butt and stared at most of the chicken hanging on the branch, and the cooked chicken was sizzling.

"You are a wood, you just broke your arms and legs, I tell you, my martial arts have risen sharply recently, and I have already learned the stick technique taught to me by the iron catcher, so I have to compete with others, or you will pay me two for practice", Chen Lian said and threw the chicken bones to the side, and was about to get up to find a stick.

"You hurry up and sit and eat your chicken wings, you, just catch the head and teach you those two times, you are still serious, people are really entangled by you can't stand it, so I will give you a few strokes, you are still a treasure" Jiang Yu'er grabbed Chen Lian, and grabbed Chen Lian's sleeve with oily hands, and wiped it again, Chen Lian sat down, glanced at the sleeve that was wiped by Jiang Yu'er, and did not hesitate much, he also wiped it.

"Seriously, Chen Lian, how much money did you stuff into the iron catcher, how much roast chicken was enough to buy that money, and did you still need that money to let Miki steal the chickens, you loser, your family will have to let you lose it sooner or later" Jiang Yu'er tore off another chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth as he spoke, seeing that Miki's eyes were straight.

Chen Lian opened his mouth to refute, but suddenly seemed to remember something, but finally didn't say anything, reached out and tore off a piece of chicken wings, and gritted his teeth as he ate.

"That's it, Chen Lian, you are also a son, just a little money is enough for us to have a good meal, you have spent so much money over the years, and I haven't seen you learn any good kung fu, if this money is given to us a little, even if it is a small half, I will not be chased by the old Huang family's dog today, you see that I have been bitten on the leg" Miki raised his butt towards Chen Lian, he saw that the chicken legs were eaten by Jiang Yu'er, and he tore the chicken that was pretty good.

Chen Lian didn't speak, and looked at the really roasted chicken rack in front of him in a daze.

Today, the three of them have nothing to do, in fact, most of the time they are idle, Shen Shi, that is, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yu'er was about to go out to find food, Miki suddenly ran into the yard from outside, took out a hen from his arms, and looked at Jiang Yu'er with bright eyes. When the two of them were preparing to set up a roast chicken, Chen Lian came to Jiang Yu'er to show him the stick technique he had practiced, and when he entered the courtyard gate, he saw that one of the two was plucking the chickens and the other was collecting firewood, but he was stunned for a moment and turned around to close the courtyard door, and ran over to squat with Miki to pluck the chickens. Obviously, they've done this many times.

When the whole chicken was almost eaten, Jiang Yu'er burped her hands back and looked up at the sky, "Hey, do you think Lu Yanyan is really that good-looking?"

Miki, who was nibbling on the last bit of chicken on the chicken rack, laughed when he heard this, and almost choked himself, "Jiang Yu'er, do you miss a woman, hahahaha, you must be thinking about a woman", he threw the chicken rack into the fire and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "Of course it's good-looking, I heard that many people spend a lot of money in Chunxiang Building in order to take a more look at Lu Huakui, Jiang Yu'er, don't think about it, Chen Lian can, hey, Chen Lian, when will you go to Chunxiang Lou to be chic, take us with you then, Let's go and see the Oiran too, didn't Mother Qin thank you before, you have face."

Chen Lian, who was in a daze, came back to his senses, "I'm not interested in Qinglou, that's the place to kill my will, and going to it will affect my cultivation of martial arts."

Miki glanced at Chen Lian, "Cut, you're a fool." looked at Jiang Yu'er who was in a daze again, "Hey, Jiang Yu'er, why hasn't your old king come back yet?" Nothing will happen to him."

"I don't know, it's been a lot longer this time, it's been almost four months", Jiang Yu'er still looked up at the sky.

The three of them fell silent at the same time, and the sky slowly darkened, and there were still sparks burning in the fire.

"Jiang Yu'er, have you ever thought about the identity of the old king?" Chen Lian looked at the fire and said suddenly.

"Identity? What identity? ”

"I mean, who is the old king, he told you that ten years ago, he passed by a small village in Yuzhou, and saw a group of horse bandits slaughtering the entire village, and when the horse bandits left, he found you who survived in hiding, and then took you all the way around, and finally arrived here", Chen Lian moved his buttocks and sat up straight, "However, Yuzhou is so close to Lin'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how can there be such a thing as a horse bandit slaughtering a village?" And I've never heard anyone say anything about such a big thing, did he lie to you? ”

"But why did he lie to me?" Jiang Yu'er no longer tilted his head and sat up straight.

The three of them were silent again.

Miki suddenly shouted, "Jiang Yu'er, will you be a big man's family, in the face of a feud, in the end the old king rescued you, and then settled you here, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback", Miki said more and more excited, "Hey, Jiang Yu'er, no, you will definitely not be called Jiang Yu'er in the future, hey anyway, no matter what it's called, you must be a big man, I, Lin Sen, am honored to know you, if you know who you are in the future, don't forget me, right Chen Lian, what do you think?"

Chen Lian didn't answer, but just glanced at Jiang Yu'er meaningfully.

Jiang Yu'er smiled bitterly and did not speak.

When Chen Lian and Miki went back, it was also dark, Jiang Yu'er cleaned up a little more, threw a few pieces of wood into the fire, took out half a pot of wine from the back room, and moved the Taishi chair to the fire, after nightfall, the sky was also much colder, "Autumn is coming", Jiang Yu'er thought, then lay on the chair and poured wine into his mouth.

Jiang Yu'er didn't think about the question Chen Lian said, but no matter how he asked, the old king didn't say anything, but just insisted that Jiang Yu'er was picked up by him from the pile of dead people, and the others didn't answer. Jiang Yu'er was lying on the chair with a wine jug in his right hand, and took out a jade pendant from his neck with his left hand, this piece of small jade has been hanging on Jiang Yu'er's neck since he was a child, and the old king said that this jade pendant was there when he picked up Jiang Yu'er, so Jiang Yu'er thought, maybe only this piece of small jade really belongs to him, even if it is a name, he has never really owned it.

"Xiaoyu, can you tell me who I am"? Jiang Yu'er put the jade pendant into his neck, poured a sip of wine, closed his eyes, and soon after, the wine jug slowly fell out of his hand.
