Zhao Yingqi took Zhang Qi's boat, has entered the boundary of Xuanfu, and will enter the Lanjiang waterway after more than 30 miles, Xuanfu Fucheng is on the south bank of the Lanjiang River, the north bank of the Lanjiang River is Gucheng County of Xuanfu, Gucheng County is in the east of the intersection of the Lanxuan Canal and the Lanjiang River, and Xiaojing Lake is on the west side of the intersection.

A moment later, they had already entered the Lanjiang waterway, and at this time, a slightly larger double-decker painting boat appeared in front of Zhao Yingqi and their boat, and a closed water lily sail stood on the painting boat.

After a while, Zhao Yingqi's boat chased after it, and it was parallel to the painting boat six or seven zhang away.

There are two boats downstairs in the painting boat, and there are four women upstairs, who look like two Chu girls and two little maids.

One of the two Chu girls was playing the pipa, and the other was dancing.

Zhao Yingqi was attracted by the sound of the pipa, this song is melodious and beautiful, the Chu girl who plays the pipa has a dignified appearance with three points of purity, the clouds and temples are towering, the fat is exhausted, and the blue-green long-sleeved wide clothes flutter in the river breeze, like a budding begonia.

The dancing Chu Nu danced gracefully, graceful, hanging like flying, dancing gracefully. The light gauze and wide clothes on the body flew with the dancing posture, and the jade lotus-like arms and calves flashed from time to time, which was really snow fragrant and pink, and the jade reflected the golden glow, just like a water hibiscus.

What a pair of peerless beauties.

Zhao Yingqi stood by the side of the boat, watching this graceful dance, listening to the melodious sound of the piano, quite intoxicated. The two maids standing next to the painting boat looked at Zhao Yingqi eating and laughing.

At this time, Zhang Qi came to Zhao Yingqi's side, looked at the painting boat next to him, and said: "These two women are the favorites to win the championship of this Huanhua Club, and they are still Chu women, and no one has ever entered the boudoir." ”

"What does it mean that this Chu maid still has to enter the boudoir?" Zhao Yingqi's eyes didn't move, and he asked while admiring.

"I'm afraid Mr. Zhao has just left the school and doesn't know much about Hongchen. Chu Nu Ling is a performer who does not sell herself, and of course it is a spring breeze to enter the boudoir. ”

"And how does this raccoon flower choose the Oiran?" At this time, the pipa tune began to become rapid, and Zhao Yingqi also slapped the side of the boat.

"There are eight organizers of the Huanhua Society, which is the eight Qinglou of the Xuanfu Mansion, and they will send invitations to the dignitaries and young talents in the Xuanfu City, inviting them to participate in the Huanhua Meeting, which will be held for a total of seven days, and a total of five leaders will be set for Yan, art, talent, qi and ceremony, and there are a number of flower numbers under it." Speaking of these romantic affairs, Zhang Qi seems to be in spirit.

At the end of the song at this time, Zhao Yingqi looked at the water lily sail on the painting boat and asked, "What does this sail mean?" Along the way, I also saw that many painting boats were hung with this small sail. ”

"That's the water lily sail, which means that the girl on the painting boat is resting and will not pick up customers for the time being." Zhang Qi was a little regretful: "It's a pity, these two don't accept guests today, otherwise they can go up and have two drinks, I think it's also to prepare for the show of the Huanhua Club." ”

The rules of this Xuanfu Qinglou are very interesting, the five leaders, the water lily sail, the industry is quite mature.

"Qunfang Pavilion has hidden these two for two years, rarely shows up, never accepts guests, and now the Huanhua Festival is approaching, they also come out to show their faces and pick up guests, which can be regarded as a momentum, but today you and my brother do not have this blessing." Zhang Qi looked very pity.

"Qunfang Pavilion, the servants and maids in this group of Fang Pavilion are well treated, and there are special maids and painting boats waiting for them." Zhao Yingqi looked at the two beauties on the opposite side of the painting boat, thinking about the matter of Qunfang Pavilion.

"This kind of stunner naturally needs to be taken care of, you must know that as long as one of these two wins the name of Oiran, it will be dozens or hundreds of times more earned."

"So it's expensive to get into the curtain, isn't it?" Zhao Yingqi glanced at Zhang Qi curiously.

"Mr. Zhao really doesn't understand the matter of spring flowers and autumn moons, how can Oiran still have guests who enter the curtain, most of them have been ransomed and returned to be concubines or caged birds."

"Oh, I see, that's Gao Dingbei." Zhao Yingqi was stunned.

"Haute couture? What does haute couture mean? This time it was Zhang Qi's turn to be puzzled.

"Haute couture is high-end customization, exclusive to one person's service or goods."

"Listening to Mr. Zhao say this, it's quite appropriate."

Zhao Yingqi looked at the little maid on the upper floor of the painting boat opposite and poured tea for the two Chu girls, handed the silk handkerchief, and asked: "This little maid is only twelve or thirteen years old, she can't lift her hands or carry it on her shoulders, how can she serve the Chu girls?" ”

Zhang Qi glanced at Zhao Tong on the other side, and secretly slandered in his heart: You should be like you, the pride of the sky, do you have a pretty maid to serve when you go out of the mountain?

Of course, Zhang Qi didn't say that, but explained carefully to Zhao Yingqi: "This little maid's choice is also particular, usually if it is a young lady at home, the maid will have to be a few years younger, so that she will not secretly bully the young lady, let alone bring a bad young lady because she has passed through the personnel, it is not easy for the Chu Pavilion of the major Qinglou to cultivate a few top Oiran, if you let the older maid take a bad body, it will be a big loss." ”

Zhao Yingqi didn't expect that there was such a kind of exquisiteness, as a person in the 21st century, he had never heard of this kind of thing, and continued to ask: "Are the daughters of this big family and the maids of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion all this exquisite?" ”

Zhang Qi saw that Zhao Yingqi really didn't understand, so he had to share it with him in detail.

But it is said that all the people who have a little family assets will raise so many maids for the young master, and the young lady's maid is a few years younger than the young lady, which is easy to support, and it is not easy to take the bad lady, and when the young lady gets married, it will also become the aunt's concubine as a dowry, and the young lady has become the wife of the aunt's family, and it is usually inconvenient to walk around with the mother's family, so this little maid and little sister who grew up together since childhood will become the link between the married lady and her mother's family.

On the one hand, the boy is naughty, convenient to wait, and has some strength to play with him, and on the other hand, when the young master grows up, the maid will live in the outer room of the young master, and the bedrooms are connected, that is, the maid is a maid, which can be regarded as a kind of enlightenment education for the young master.

And the Chu girls in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion are specially cultivated to make a name for themselves at the Huanhua Festival, and then redeem themselves at a high price to become the concubines or lovers of high-ranking officials and nobles, which is an indispensable part of the network resources of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and it is natural to serve and cultivate like the daughter of a big family, and at the same time, the maid naturally has to follow the past, and it is also convenient for the Qinglou Chu Pavilion to contact the Chu girls who are married.

Listening to Zhang Qi's explanation, Zhao Yingqi couldn't help but re-examine this business, according to this line of thought, it is not uncommon for these Qinglou Chu Pavilions to make the world-famous Huanhua Club, the energy may not be too big, but it is better to see six ways and listen to all directions.

Thinking about it this way, Feng Huanhuan changed his name to Feng Huanhuan to become the Oiran of Qunfang Pavilion, and poisoned the three princes, the role of this group of Fang Pavilion in it is not small, although the crimes of Dong Xiang and Feng Huanhuan have been confirmed, but there are many doubts, and the forces behind it have not been exposed in the slightest, thinking that this Qunfang Pavilion may be a good entry point.

Just as Zhao Yingqi was pondering how to start from this Qunfang Pavilion, a little maid on the painting boat opposite stood on the painting boat and bowed to Zhao Yingqi and their boat, and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Dare to ask, but Lord Zhang's boat?" ”

This attracted Zhao Yingqi to the past, and the two Chu girls behind the little maid also stood up and bowed to this side.

"It's this official, I don't know what happened to Miss Yilin and Miss Mulian?" Zhang Qigui is a fourth-grade Shaoqing, and naturally he doesn't need to be as polite to the Qinglou woman as he is to Zhao Yingqi.

"I take the liberty to disturb, the two young ladies of my family said that Master Zhang went all the way to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he worked hard, and now it is almost dusk, and I want to invite Lord Zhang to get on the boat and drink two cups together."

"Thank you two girls, but this official still has official business, and he is eager to return to the dynasty to resume his life, I'm afraid it won't work today, why don't you make another appointment?" Zhang Qi's words and deeds at this time are quite upright.

"Didn't you just regret that you couldn't get on someone's embroidery boat? How has it changed now? Zhao Yingqi asked in a low voice.

"Hehe, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's really not good, I don't think about recovering from my life on official business, but I drink flower wine here, I think Qin Xiang will definitely give me a little shoes to wear." Zhang Qi also whispered back, his face remained unchanged, and he returned the painting boat slightly.

"Then you go back to your life, but what should I do?" Zhao Yingqi's eyes rolled slightly and asked.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot Mr. Zhao, how about Mr. Zhao share a few drinks with the two girls?" Zhang Qi heard what Zhao Yingqi meant, it was nothing more than wanting to stay and drink with the beauty, and hurriedly shouted loudly to the painting boat: "Wait, although the official can't drink with the two girls, why don't you ask the two girls to take my friend to visit the night of Xiaojing Lake?" ”

Night, heh, this Zhang Qi is quite good, as if Zhao Yingqi wanted to have a good night with others.

The little maid over there went back and asked the two Chu girls, among them, the Chu girl who played the pipa glanced at Zhao Yingqi twice, and Zhao Yingqi smiled at the corner of her mouth and arched her hand slightly.

The little maid took the order back to the boat and replied: "Since I am a friend of Lord Zhang, I think I am also a young talent, and it is a blessing for my young lady to be able to swim with such talents. ”

Zhang Qi's left hand, which was hidden behind the side of the boat, slightly pushed Zhao Yingqi up, and then raised his eyebrows at Zhao Yingqi, as if to say: How about it, the face is not small, right?

Zhao Yingqi smiled dumbly, and said loudly: "Don't work for the two girls, Zhao will board the ship to visit." ”

After seeing it, Zhao Yingqi took advantage of his internal strength, jumped into the water, and landed on the painting boat floor with a slight touch on the water between the two boats, and then lifted the curtain and went in after slightly arching his hands outside the curtain where the two Chu girls were resting.

Zhao Tong saw that his husband had arrived on someone's boat, frowned and glanced at Zhang Qi, dropped his luggage, and hurriedly followed.

Zhang Qi saw Zhao Tong's eyes, smiled, and went into the cabin to explain to his subordinates to find a place for Zhao Yingqi. Zhao Tong's eyes made Zhang Qi feel that it was better not to let the two of them take them home.

"Two girls, Zhao is bothered."

"Zhao Gongzi is polite, slave Mulian." This is the dancing Chu girl.

The Chu girl who played the pipa asked the two little maids to take off the closed water lily sail on the boat, and re-hang the blooming water lily sail on one side, which means that she was receiving guests, and then turned around and made a blessing: "Zhao Gongzi Wan'an, slave Liu Yilin." ”
