Chapter 222: Childe Plays

Liu Aming really couldn't pretend anymore, so he had to tell the truth that he just heard legends, and he wasn't very familiar with people.

Li Xing smiled: "Do you know where these two sons live? ”

"I know, I know." This Liu Aming is a street runner, wandering on the street every day, eating and drinking, of course he knows the residence of these two famous sons. It's just that he is a poor person, and he has no chance to say a word to others.

Li Xing said: "This is very good, annoying brother to take me to meet them." ”

"Okay, let's go now."

Now, the four of them are drunk and full, this Liu Aming wants to serve, of course, he agrees.

The four of them went downstairs, and the man knew that he was a rich man, and he went all the way out on the street outside the gate before turning back.

At this time, the sun is shining overhead, and the weather is a little hot. This Liu Aming took the three of them to walk in the shade of the tree, but it was also easy.

Keep heading west. Liu Aming said: "These two sons have a good relationship by the Qinhuai River, so they don't live in the city, they rent on the bank of the Qinhuai River on the edge of the city." ”

The four of them walked to the gate of the West City. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were very familiar with Liu Aming, and when they saw that he was with three people, their faces were red and drunk, and they let them out of the city gate without interrogating them a few words.

As soon as you get out of the city gate, the scenery here is completely different from the city, the houses in the city are neat, the streets are smooth, the houses here are built along the river, the streets are tortuous, hidden in the shade of green willows, the scenery is quiet.

The Qinhuai River meanders from the southwest mountains, flows into the Yangtze River in the northeast at the edge of the city, although the river is not big, but the blue waves ripple, the willows on both sides are covered, it is the most beautiful place in the world.

There are river houses built along the riverbank, pink walls and tiles, plantain trees are planted in the courtyard, as well as plum trees, bushes of bamboo, etc., and there is a small boat moored on the riverbank at the entrance of the courtyard.

Swimming in the Qinhuai River, the best thing is to sit on a small boat, with the sound of oars sliding forward, the taverns and restaurants on both banks, red-sleeved green skirts, raising their hands, indescribable romance.

The four of them did not take a boat, but walked along the green winding path by the river.

Soon came to a house. Liu Aming said:

"This is the mansion of the prince of the pretending frontier."

Mao Bijiang's family is the richest man in Rugao, and there are many gardens built in his home. He often traveled back and forth to Nanjing, so he bought this house for convenience.

Now, the black door of the house is closed, and Liu Aming stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door squeaked, and half of it opened, revealing a bald old man, who couldn't recognize anyone, and asked:

"Which one are you? Who are you looking for? ”

Liu Aming said: "These three sons came to visit Mao Gongzi. ”

The old man said, "My son-in-law is not here. ”

Li Xing stepped forward and asked, "We came from afar to visit Mao Gongzi, please inform us." ”

The old man said, "Ladies and gentlemen, my son-in-law is really not here. ”

Li Xing took out two taels of silver, handed them to the old man, and said, "We came from afar, first, to visit the impostor, and secondly, to ask for urgent matters, and hope that the old man will be accommodating." ”

When the old man saw Li Xing's dignified appearance, the key was to be generous, and said: "My son-in-law is really not at home, he has been out for several days." ”

Li Xingdao: "Dare to ask where the son is going?" ”

The old man said: "He went to Hangzhou and went to visit the West Lake." ”

Li Xing asked, "Are they a few friends from the Tongfu Society?" ”

The old man saw that Li Xing was polite and came from afar, and he really couldn't agree with the intentions of others, so he said: "My son-in-law specially invited Miss Dong to visit the West Lake." ”

Everything is clear. Li Xing said: "Trouble uncle, when Mao Gongzi comes back, he will say that Li Xing has come to visit him." We'll see you again in a while. ”

Four people left. Bai Yuyao said: "This impostor has a false name, and now the court is rotten to such a point, the day is not safe, the wind and rain are shaking, what mood is he in to invite Miss Dong to visit the West Lake." ”

Liu Aming said: "You don't know this, this Miss Dong's name is Dong Xiaowan, a famous prostitute by the Qinhuai River." ”

Bai Yuyao smiled: "Does she look beautiful?" ”

Liu Aming said: "I haven't seen her, ordinary people, how can she put it in her eyes?" Don't talk about me, in this Nanjing city, how many rich businessmen, princes and grandsons, high-ranking officials, even if they spend a lot of money, it is rare to see Miss Dong. ”

Li Xing said with a smile: "It seems that this son of the Frontier is not shallow." ”

Liu Aming said: "No, this young man not only has a lot of money, but also a romantic gentleman, a well-known son of the Restoration Society, this Miss Dong put him in his eyes and promised to go with him to the West Lake." ”

Bai Yuyao pursed her lips and said, "What's so great about a merry boy." ”

This Liu Aming said with his eyebrows fluttering, and suddenly saw that these three sons were also like Yushu in the wind, and the shot was also very generous, and he was stunned for a moment before he said slowly:

"If the three of you had come earlier, this Miss Dong would have accompanied the three of you in the same boat and swam the Qinhuai River."

Bai Yuyao pursed her lips again and said, "What's so unusual about her, it's worth me to accompany her." ”

A few people talked and laughed, and they had already walked two or three miles, and at this time it was very close to Confucius Temple Street, and there were more tourists.

Liu Aming pointed with his hand and said, "That is the home of Hou Fangyu's son." ”

I saw a small courtyard, but the layout is very elegant, this Hou Gongzi is from Henan, although he often comes and goes to Nanjing, after all, he is not a permanent residence, this is a house he rents.

Looking in from the wall, the bamboo and plantain in the courtyard grow tall, a large piece of green, looking at it makes people feel cold all over, and there is a pomegranate tree in the other corner, at this time, it is also open like fire, and it is very prosperous.

The door of the Hou Mansion was also closed, Liu Aming stepped forward to knock on the door, and it was still an old man who opened the door.

Liu Aming explained that the three sons were coming to visit Hou Gongzi.

The old man still said that Hou Gongzi was not at home. Li Xing still offered two taels of silver, and the old man told the truth:

"Childe took Miss Li to visit Yanziji."

When the four of them left, Bai Yuyao spat at the Hou Mansion and said, "What kind of Fushe son, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun." Brother Amin, what kind of character is this Miss Li? ”

This Liu Aming said: "This Miss Li's name is Li Xiangjun, and she is even more famous, no matter how rich the other party is, she doesn't care about it......"

Bai Yuyao said: "She is also beautiful, right?" ”

Liu Aming said: "This is natural, even the emperor has heard of her glamorous name, then Ruan Dacheng in order to please the emperor, several times to rob Li Xiangjun into the palace, was protected by several sons of the Restoration Society, and beat Ruan Dacheng to the head and run, you say, this Li Xiangjun is not a famous beauty!" ”

Li Xing was overjoyed when he heard this, so he said, "Let's walk along the river." ”

The three of them saw Li Xing's gloomy face, so they followed him silently, and walked forward along the winding road by the river, where the weeping willows pulled at people's clothes, causing trouble in vain.

After walking for a while, Li Xing said to Yang Shucheng and the others: "Let's do our best and go to Yanziji now." ”

Yang Shucheng said to Bai Yuyao: "Let's go together." ”

Li Xing said to Liu Aming: "It's already afternoon, is there a fast horse, ride it, and you can catch up with Yanziji before dark." ”

Liu Aming said: "Walk along the Qinhuai River until you reach the North City Gate, where there is a horse shop. ”

So, the four of them hurried towards the north gate together.

Walking to the North City Gate, the sun was already westerly, and Liu Aming said: "There is the horse shop, which is rented by the people who play at the North City Gate." ”

When the four of them came to the horse shop, they were faced with a row of stables, in which three thin horses were tethered, and because of the war in the north, there were not many people who went out of the city gate to play, and the shopkeeper sold some of the horses.

The three asked for three skinny horses and paid rent.

That Liu Aming also wanted to go with him, and then mix and eat, but now that there are no horses, he has to do it.

Along the way, Liu Aming talked hard in front of the three sons, as if he was very mixed up in this Nanjing city, nothing more than pestering the three of them to drink another meal at night, and now seeing Li Xing and the three of them riding away, he thought he was unlucky, so he had to enter the city gate and go home.
