After eating the next morning, Fang Xiaoyu went to the outskirts of the city to investigate the pagoda of the pagoda temple Qizhongtian, and when he passed by the glaze factory, he saw that there were many literati and scholars gathered outside a restaurant, and they were all watching a pair of pairs of couplets.

After inquiring, Fang Xiaoyu learned that the restaurant was actually a well-known brothel in the capital. The brothel and the green house, There is still a big difference between brothels, the girls here in the brothel are usually not selling their bodies, they all have a unique job, relying on their skills to eat, to support their families, and in this brothel, the most famous girl is Su Qing, she is as beautiful as a flower, outstanding knowledge, and it is even more rare to have a hand in exquisite embroidery and outstanding painting skills, and it is even more rare that she has always been clean and self-conscious, guarding herself like jade, it is said that she not only does not pick up customers, but also never attends any dinner, and in her spare time, she points out the embroidery and painting skills of the girls in the building, and makes a living from it, and her embroidery works and paintings have been fried to eight taels of silver outsideWhat is the concept of eight taels of silver, in the feudal society dominated by the natural economy, it is basically equal to half a year's income of ordinary families, his embroidery and paintings are really not affordable for ordinary people, most of them are forced to buy her lovers to collect, because she never attends any dinner, but anyone who wants to see her true face, but also only to her brothel are a trip, even if you come, but really want to see her, listen to her singing music and playing the piano alone, you must make a pair of her out.

Today, Su Qinglian's Shanglian said: Baita Street, yellow blacksmith, red furnace, burning black charcoal, green smoke, flashing blue light, breaking purple iron, sitting in the south and north to fight things. As soon as you read this pair, you immediately see a blacksmith striking there.

Seeing this pair, Fang Xiaoyu was also dumbfounded, Su Qinglian's pair is amazing, it is really not an ordinary difficult pair, her pair not only has seven colors, white, yellow, red, black, blue, blue and purple, but also adds the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, judging from this couplet, this Su Qinglian is really not simple, without a certain literary foundation and rich life experience, she will definitely not be able to write such a pair.

Since he couldn't come out, Fang Xiaoyu didn't force it, but turned around and left after watching it, after all, this is a guy who is fighting for food, and he doesn't have to fold other people's platforms, more importantly, he has to go to the pagoda on the outskirts of the city to inspect the scene of the competition.

Fang Xiaoyu's understanding of the pagoda comes from the Buddhist scriptures, the pagoda is also known as the floating tu, originally it was used to worship relics, scriptures, and dharma, according to the level is divided into thirty-three pagodas, seventeen pagodas, fifteen-storied pagodas, thirteen-storied pagodas, nine-storied pagodas, seven-storied pagodas, five-storied pagodas, three-story pagodas, seven-storied pagodas are also the most common one, that is, people often say that the seven-level floating tu, originally to the pagoda is generally not open to the public, but later, in order to create some income for the temple, the pagoda is also open to tourists.

When Fang Xiaoyu came to the Seventh Heaven, there were not many tourists here, only a few in twos and threes, but what Fang Xiaoyu didn't expect was that as soon as she walked into the tower gate, she was hit by a little girl, and after being hit, the little girl was actually angry: "You don't have long eyes, how do you walk, I'm such a big living person, you didn't see it, and hit someone directly?"

Fang Xiaoyu was speechless when she heard it, the little girl didn't look at it and bumped into it directly, but he didn't talk about his anymore, but he wouldn't be as knowledgeable as other little girls, but smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry, I walked carelessly and bumped into you, little sister." ”

The little girl was very dissatisfied and said: "You look fifteen or sixteen years old, not as old as me, and you still call me little sister, you want to take advantage of me, don't you?"

Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, if this woman didn't talk about reason, it was obvious that she bumped into herself, but she really couldn't afford to mess with herself, so he said helplessly: "I can't call you little sister, right?"

The little girl gave him a big roll of the eyes: "Don't get close to me, I'm not familiar with you, you should walk carefully in the future, it's nothing to hit me, if you hit the old lady and grandfather, your sin will be great, you know?"

Fang Xiaoyu was just about to speak, but he saw that upstairs, there was a woman in a cheongsam coming down from the tower, she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looked like a flower Rong Yue, like the fairy of the Moon Palace, as soon as she appeared, Fang Xiaoyu's eyes were attracted.

The little girl snorted coldly on the side: "Stinky boy, the poor heart has not faded and the heart has risen again, I warn you, don't beat my young lady's idea, my young lady is not something you can climb." ”

Before Fang Xiaoyu could speak, the cheongsam woman was already beside her, scolding the little girl: "Xiao Shao, how did you speak, and you still don't apologize to this young master." ”

Xiao Shao snorted coldly: "You still want me to apologize, is he worthy? But he hit me just now, and I haven't settled accounts with him yet?"

Fang Xiaoyu didn't want to quarrel because of this matter, at the moment, he smiled: "This young lady, you are serious, I didn't walk long and bumped into this girl, I should apologize to him." ”

Xiao Shao's mouth pursed: "You know the best, let me be careful when I walk in the future." ”

The cheongsam lady smiled bitterly: "I really let you laugh, this girl, let me get used to it, I apologize to Gongzi on her behalf." ”

Fang Xiaoyu didn't mind and said, "Why should Miss take a little thing to heart?"

The young lady glared at Xiao Shao, and then, passed to Fang Xiaoyu, listening to Gongzi's accent, it seemed that he was not from the capital, and dared to ask Gongzi what to call him?

"Fujian and Zhejiang Shizi Fang Xiaoyu?"

"Fang Xiaoyu?"

Before the young lady could speak, Xiao Shao's eyes widened: "You are the Fang Xiaoyu who doesn't know whether to live or die, and has to compete with the six masters of the Shuo Palace?"

Fang Xiaoyu's eyebrows locked slightly: "Is my reputation in the capital very big?"

"It's not the blessing of you and the six masters of the Shun Wangfu to compete in the Seventh Heaven, during this time, the matter of your martial arts competition in the Seventh Heaven can make a lot of noise in the capital," Xiao Shao looked at Fang Xiaoyu seriously, and then said with disdain:" I see that you have no flesh on your face, how dare you provoke Shuo Wangfu, that Yongqi Gege is a well-known female overlord in the capital, and her masters are like clouds, many people in the capital and even the officials of the imperial court have suffered her losses, and those masters under her can ravage you know no, offend her, I advise you that you might as well take a rope and hang yourself. ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "The problem is not that I provoke others, but that I sit at home behind closed doors, and the disaster comes from the sky, you say that she pretended to be the owner of the Fujian and Zhejiang Guild Hall, and she has to force us to show up, do you think we can shrink our heads into our shells and be turtles?"

Xiao Shao pursed her mouth: "If you shrank your head into your shell as a turtle, I will also look down on you, but no one in the market is optimistic about you, everyone sells Shuo Wangfu to win." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled unmindfully: "The so-called dark horse is usually the one that everyone is not optimistic about in advance, if you want to make a lot of money, it is best to sell us to win, in case we win the competition, it is several times the profit." ”

Xiao Shao obviously didn't have confidence in them: "The question is can you win, everyone is a master, I once saw that Jin Jiuou kicked and broke several pieces of wood with one leg." ”

Fang Xiaoyu naturally didn't want to lose face in front of the big beauty: "It's great to kick a few broken logs, don't forget that our opponent is a person who can move, no one will stand there and stand still, waiting for you to fight, no matter how powerful your martial arts are, you have to hit people, if you can't hit people, it's a waste of strength." ”

Xiao Shao naturally refused to let him go: "Then how many pieces of wood have you kicked off?"

Fang Xiaoyu's mouth pursed: "I'm nervous, what kind of wood to kick." ”

"I don't have the ability, I'm still talking about it there! I see how you die this time. ”

The young lady in the cheongsam suddenly couldn't hold back on her face: "Dead girl, can't you say a few words?"

Hearing the young lady's reprimand, Xiao Shao naturally closed her mouth obediently.

The young lady continued: "Little girl, I heard that the masters over there in the Shuowang Mansion have been staying at home these days, staying in the mansion and practicing martial arts, how can Young Master Fang be interested in coming here!"

Fang Xiaoyu replied: " The duel is similar to the battle between the two armies, the difference is that the scale is larger, the knowledge in this can be great, and there are many factors that affect the wins and losses of both sides, Sun Tzu said that too much is more winning, less is not winning, not invincible, since we want to fight this battle, we have to go all out, do our best is not, if you lose, it is naturally gray from the capital, no chance to see Jiangdong fathers, but if you accidentally win, it is a white flower to spend five thousand taels of silver, so even if there is only one percent chance, we have to do 100% effort, you say yes？”

Xiao Shao's mouth pursed: "It's so nice, to put it bluntly, don't you just want money and don't die?"

The young lady's eyebrows locked slightly: "Xiao Shao, can't you say a few words less than this girl?" Then she smiled apologetically at Fang Xiaoyu: "My girl has made me spoiled since she was a child, let Young Master Fang laugh, I don't know if I have any place for Young Master Fang?"

Fang Xiaoyu asked, "I wonder if Miss can draw?"

"Paint?" the young lady was stunned.

"Didn't my brothers and I want the six masters of the Shuo Mansion to compete here, but they are all busy practicing and preparing for the war now, and I'm more idle, so I'll come over and step on the point, survey the terrain of the competition, and see if there is any place to use, so that my brothers can understand the terrain of the martial arts, if Miss can draw, please ask your Miss to draw a sketch with reference to the inner structure and furnishings of this tower, so that we can go back for our brothers to study and study." ”

Before the young lady could speak, Xiao Shao had already protested on the side: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about, my young lady's paintings are very famous in the capital, and they have been sold for eight taels of silver.

Fang Xiaoyu was stunned when he heard this: "By the way, I've been chatting for so long, and I haven't asked for your young lady's name." ”

Su Qing's lips opened lightly: "Little girl Su Qinglian!"

"Su Qinglian?" Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "This name is a little familiar, as if I have heard it there." ”

Su Qing smiled and said, "Young Master Fang, your noble people are busy, even if we have met before, but after a long time, Young Master Fang, you don't remember it." “

"No way, I have a good memory, especially a fairy-like person like a girl, if I have seen it, I will remember it. “

Su Qinglian's voice suddenly became very light: "At that time, your attention was all on other women, how could you take us hard-working women to heart." ”

Although Fang Xiaoyu couldn't remember where she had seen Su Qinglian, listening to her tone, the resentment in her heart was really not ordinarily big, so she was confused: "Have we really met before, why can't I remember?"

"If you don't remember, for the sake of you helping me, I'll help you draw six sketches. “

So she turned and went up to the tower.

Seeing this, Xiao Shao glared at Fang Xiaoyu hatefully: "I have no conscience." “

After saying this, she hurriedly chased after Su Qinglian.

Seeing the two masters and servants leaving, Fang Xiaoyu only smiled bitterly, to be honest, he really couldn't remember when and where he had crossed paths with the two masters and servants.
