There are a few pieces of messy rice paper on a quaint bookcase, the handwriting on the rice paper has not yet dried, and a few scribbled poems have been scribbled off before they are finished, which seems to indicate the author's messy state of mind at this time.

Wen Tiren is in a very bad mood now, and the Wen family in Quanzhou, with whom he had a close relationship some time ago, suddenly had an accident, and although the Wen family has given themselves rich filial piety every year, in order to prevent the political enemies of the DPRK and China from grasping his handle, Wen Tiren still turned away the Wen family who came to ask for help.

Wen Tiren thought that Shen Congzhou would not wade into this troubled water, but he never thought that he would not only meddle in this matter, but also had the audacity to impeach Wei Zhongxian.

Although Wen Tiren is not a member of the Donglin Party, he is quite appreciative of Shen Congzhou, firstly, Shen Congzhou is quite effective, and secondly, he also wants to maintain a good relationship with the Donglin Party through Shen Congzhou, so when the waiter of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing was vacant this year, Wen Tiren immediately recommended Shen Congzhou to the imperial court.

But this time Shen Congzhou angered the eunuchs, but Wen Tiren's heart hesitated again, as Shen Congzhou's direct superior. Knowing that a competent subordinate has been wronged, but watching from the sidelines, it is always not good to spread it.

But Wen Tiren was unwilling to offend the eunuchs for Shen Congzhou, and even if he was willing to come out for Shen Congzhou, once the eunuchs attacked him, the Donglin Party might not be able to help him.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren's brows couldn't help but tighten together.

Ten miles of Qinhuai, six dynasties of smoke and rain.

Bicheng colorful towers, Zimo fragrant Luo Qi. Sandwiched in this ten-mile Qinhuai Shengge City, Yang Yingqian suddenly felt that he had really seen the beautiful scenery of Jinling today, and the river bank was covered with a thin mist, which seemed to have become the gold dust on the faces of the courtesans and beauties on the platforms on both sides, which filled Yang Yingqian's eyes, making him quite a kind of ethereal state of mind of "not knowing that he was a guest in his dreams".

Yesterday, after Yang Yingqian and Luo Yangxing led people to raid Shen Congzhou's home, they imprisoned everyone in the Shen family in Zhao Prison in Jinyi Weinan Town, and the men of the Shen family except Shen Congzhou were waiting to be sent to Shaanxi to fill the army, and the female dependents were sent to the Nanjing Teaching Department on the same day.

Luo Yanghe and dozens of Jinyi guards under his command chartered an inn, the large army of the Yongning Army was led by Xie Shangzheng and Sun Dayong to be stationed outside Nanjing, and Yang Yingqian took Zhan Haozhi and Hong Anlan and his twenty personal soldiers and Luo Yangxing to live in the same inn.

Yang Yingqian originally wanted Xie Shangzheng to live in the city together, but Xie Shangzheng was worried that the Yongning Army had just arrived in Nanjing and was afraid that there would be complications in the army, so he lived in the barracks with Sun Dayong.

The sky had just darkened, Luo Yangxing came to Yang Yingqian's room in a hurry, pulled Yang Yingqian's sleeve and pulled it out, after a few days of getting along, Luo Yangxing was already quite familiar with Yang Yingqian, and there was a lot less politeness in his words and deeds.

Thinking that in addition to fighting during this period of time, it is indeed time to relax and relax, and Yang Yingqian still has a matter on his mind, so he simply called Hong Anlan and Zhan Hao to accompany him.

After nightfall, Nanjing is really much more lively than during the day, the pavilions and pavilions on both sides of the Qinhuai River are brightly lit, and the river water is sparkling.

Luo Yangxing led a group of people along the street, and soon came to a green building, with three graceful characters on the book.

Several women in the green building were standing at the doorway and on the terrace on the second floor, laughing at passers-by.

Luo Yangxing smiled on the side: "This is it, this Huayue Building is the hottest green building on the fourteenth floor of the Jiaofang Division, except for the Wanqing Building, and the families of the Shen family are bidding here tonight!" ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation and introduced Yang Yingqian to Huayue Building, and the old bustard, who was soliciting customers at the door, saw that Yang Yingqian and a few people were dressed brightly and did not look like mortals, and they also brought a few powerful relatives with him, and subconsciously regarded a few people as big moneymen, and greeted them with coquettishness.

"A few officials looked at each other, is it the first time to come to Huayue Tower? There are girls who know each other! ”

The bustard was over fifty years old, and although he had smeared a lot of powder and blush on his face, his coquettish tone still gave everyone goosebumps.

Luo Yangxing threw a silver ingot to the old bustard with a disgusted face: "The old man heard that the family members of the criminal officials are bidding for sale tonight, come to see and see, quickly find a few good places for the old man to sit down!" ”

The old bustard was worried about the silver ingots in his hand, and said in his heart that this was the meeting of a rich man, and when the old face smiled more brightly, he was busy beckoning everyone to come to the hall, and found two tables with the best vision for everyone, Yang Yingqian and Luo Yangxing occupied a table, and Liu Daniu took two pro-soldiers and the four brocade guards brought by Luo Yangxing to sit at a table.

"The old man has been on the road for a day, and he is very tired, and he has good wine and food, and there is no shortage of silver!" After Luo Yangxing sat down in his seat, he shouted to the old bustard.

The old bustard was very happy: "A few masters sit down for a while, the slave family will arrange wine and food for the masters, this auction will start immediately, a few masters can listen to the song first, our girls in Huayuelou have crisp throats!" ”

After finishing speaking, he twisted his bucket-like waist and left, which couldn't help but give Yang Yingqian and the others goosebumps.

After a while, the wine and food were served like water, and soon the entire table was filled, Luo Yangxing laughed, stretched out his hand to pat the mud seal of the wine jar, and poured a full bowl into the wine bowl in front of Yang Yingqian Zhan Zhi Hong Anlan.

"I've been busy with state affairs these days, and I haven't congratulated my lord on his promotion to general, so the lower officials will use this bowl of wine to congratulate my lord!" After Luo Yangxing finished speaking, he raised his neck and drank all the wine in the bowl.

Zhan Haozhi and Hong Anlan also picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine clean!

Yang Yingqian smiled slightly: "In the future, when I enter Beijing, I will not have to help you with all your brothers!" After speaking, he drank all the wine, and everyone applauded.

At this time, several brightly dressed women had already come up on the stage not far away, and Luo Yanghe and the other table suddenly looked at the eyes of the soldiers.

Zhan Haozhi and Hong Anlan are from a different background, and their demeanor is more comfortable, but they are also slightly moved, but Yang Yingqian doesn't feel it at all, not that he is Liu Xia Hui, it's just that in the era of information explosion in later generations, he has seen everything that is more exposed than this, so he is a little immune.

At the end of the song, several women retreated with a smile, and Luo Yang's smacking lips seemed to be a little unfinished.

At this time, an obscene-looking man bowed down and walked to the stage with a flattering smile on his face.

"The small one is the second big teapot Wang Er of Huayue Building, the song that the sisters danced just now is just an appetizer, and now we come to today's main event, in the past few months, there have been a group of criminal officials' families, and there are quite a few of the best in them, see which uncle can come out on top today!"

"Okay, Lao Tzu didn't spend money to listen to your nonsense here, hurry up and bring everyone out, as long as the quality is good, what Lao Tzu has is silver! Isn't it brothers! ”

A richly dressed man with a fat head and big ears shouted from the audience, and a dozen men sitting next to him shouted loudly.

Yang Yingqian glanced in the direction of the man, probably a rich man, and brought a group of fox friends to drink flower wine.

"Okay, Ma Gongzi, this will be the right lord for you!" Wang Er saw that it was this Ma Gongzi who spoke, and his already bowed body was lowered, and his expression seemed to be a little afraid.

This auction is similar to the auction of later generations, the same is the highest bidder, but the auction of things in later generations is just the first night of the female dependents who have not yet left the cabinet.

The two women who came out in front were the daughters of criminal officials who had violated the law in the prefectures and counties around Nanjing, one was the daughter of the county magistrate, and the other was the granddaughter of the state magistrate, both of whom were auctioned for about 100 taels.

"Why are they all of this color, and it's worth a hundred taels?"

It was the gentleman surnamed Ma again, pointing to the two women on the stage and saying disdainfully, and the two women on the stage were also afraid to curl back a few steps by his finger.

Wang Er's face was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he immediately returned to normal.

"Ma Gongzi's vision is high, the following one is sure that you are satisfied, I just sent it today, the daughter of Shen Congzhou, the former director of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, that is the shy flower of the moon and the moon, the daughter of Shen is only twenty-eight years old now, and now the price is five hundred taels!"

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but gasp when they heard the high price of five hundred taels, five hundred taels of silver, and there were several people in the ordinary Qinglou Qingqi.

At first, the young man Ma was a little scoffed when he heard the high price of five hundred taels, but when he saw the woman's appearance, his eyes couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that the woman's cheeks were condensed, her nose was greasy and goose fat, her eyes were like a pool of autumn water, but there was a hint of sadness between her eyebrows, although her clothes were a little messy, but she still couldn't hide her beautiful figure.

"Five hundred taels I'm out!" Ma surnamed Su hurriedly stood up and shouted, this kind of character, even if he plays all over the flowers, it is the first time he has seen it, and he is also the daughter of a Beijing official, only five hundred taels, it is too worthwhile.

"Ma Gongzi is willing to pay five hundred taels of silver, do any of the uncles present bid higher!"

After the Ma surname shouted out the price, Wang Er continued to induce the guests on the scene to continue bidding, but I don't know if the price is too high or others are afraid of this Ma Gongzi's backstage, although a few people are eager to try, but finally give up with a sigh.

Just when Ma thought that he would be able to hug the beauty immediately, a calm voice came from the side.

"I'll give you a thousand taels!"
