Chapter 23: Reckless Righteousness
"I have always secretly regretted that I couldn't fight Ding Qinghong with Brother Liu when I said goodbye to the suburbs of Lin'an. Lin Fangda tugged Liu Xunyi's arm very affectionately, and said with a happy face, "If it weren't for the safety of Ning Yu that day, I, Lin Fangda, would never have taken the first step even if I died! I thought that I would never have the opportunity to repay your great kindness in the future, but I didn't expect that I would meet you in Quanzhou today, this is the great fate." ”
Liu Xunyi was quite comfortable when he saw that Lin Fangda, the problem that had been bothering his heart was solved, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet Brother Lin in Quanzhou, it seems that you and I are really fateful." ”
"There is fate! There is fate! Not only is it fate, Brother Liu is still kind to me. Haha......" Lin Fangda's hearty laughter attracted the curious eyes of the people around him, but he ignored it, and asked Liu Xunyi again, "Why did Brother Liu come to Quanzhou......?" Lin Fangda was halfway through his words, and he already stretched out his finger and pointed at the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, the meaning was self-evident.
"This ...... That ......" Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, then picked up the golden hairpin in his hand and fiddled with it a few times in front of Lin Fangda quite awkwardly, although he didn't open his mouth to explain, but Lin Fangda already looked like he suddenly realized, laughed loudly, and said: "I didn't expect that Brother Liu is also a lover!"
At this moment, the woman in white that Liu Xunyi was looking for was nowhere to be found, and she secretly said in her heart, "That girl has an elegant posture, a world-class appearance, a cold and arrogant temperament, and a generous hand, she must be the daughter of a powerful family in Jiangnan." Although the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Yu'er, there are so many similar people in the world, it is hard to guarantee that I have admitted my mistake again. That's it, these two hundred taels of silver should only be owed to others first, and when he will make up enough silver taels in the future, he will come to the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, and the fat girl will return it to her on her behalf. ”
Thinking of these, Liu Xunyi was no longer too entangled, and laughed dryly in response to Lin Fangda's ridicule. Lin Fangda saw that Liu Xunyi was a little shy, and hurriedly said comfortingly: "Brother Liu doesn't have to be subtle, this is human nature, I understand!"
"I don't know why Brother Lin also arrived in Quanzhou?" Liu Xunyi hurriedly diverted the topic, but in order to avoid Lin Fang's suspicions, he added jokingly, "And you came to this Water Pavilion Silver Building in such a hurry? Could it be that Brother Lin is also trying to please a certain beauty?"
"It's not a secret, Lin was entrusted by someone and had to come. Lin Fangda smiled bitterly, "Ning Yu was punished by the lord of the mansion after he went back, because of the matter of Lin'an, and he thought about it behind closed doors. Then the lord of the Luo Mansion was invited to Quanzhou, and he couldn't twist the bitter pleading of this precious daughter, so he had to take her with him, but he strictly ordered Ning Yu not to leave the sight of the lord of the mansion on this trip, otherwise he would send someone to 'escort' her back to Luoyang. So Ning Yu is now chained to the mansion master and can't come out, but I heard that Quanzhou Mandarin Duck Pavilion is famous all over the world, so I asked me to run errands for her to come here to see and learn, and buy her some good things to go back by the way. ”
"I see. Liu Xunyi suddenly realized, and thought to himself, "Sure enough, all women in the world love beauty, and it was not a mistake for me to wait for her in Mandarin Duck Pavilion, but I didn't expect the section of the lord of Luofu." If it weren't for Brother Lin's arrival here, I'm afraid I would have to wait in vain. ”
"Brother Liu, did you come to Quanzhou this time to wash your hands for that Mozen Golden Basin?" When Liu Xunyi was secretly thinking, Lin Fangda was already secretive, and asked quickly in a low voice: "Could it be that you are also interested in the 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map'?"
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi replied with a wry smile: "Who in the rivers and lakes is not interested in it? It's just that interest is interest, I know how many catties and taels I have, I just want to see and understand, and I will never touch this hot potato." ”
"Clever!" Lin Fangda looked left and right a few times cautiously, and nodded quickly, "I also wanted to persuade Brother Liu just now not to fight the idea of this picture, so as not to get into trouble." ”
"What does Brother Lin mean by this?" Liu Xunyi frowned slightly, and asked meaningfully, "Could it be that King Beixian ...... this picture?"
"There are some things that I can't say clearly, but Brother Liu is a smart person, and you must understand the stakes. Lin Fangda changed his words, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Liu Xunyi's shoulder, and laughed, "It's rare that you and I met today, and I can't let you leave easily! Let's go, let's drink, we must have a good drink, and we won't go home if we don't get drunk!"
Seeing Lin Fangda's reaction, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It turns out that Lin Fangda, who is very aggressive, is also a thick and fine person in his bones. ”
There is a well-known inn in Quanzhou City, called "Spring and Autumn Guangsha", and the owner behind it is the Jiangnan Lufu.
At that time, Lu Chongyang, the head of the Lu family, single-handedly built this "Spring and Autumn Mansion", which has the meaning of "tens of millions of mansions, sheltering the poor people in the world". But all the martial arts people who come and go to Quanzhou, as long as they go to the Lu family to say hello, they can eat, drink and have fun in the spring and autumn mansions, and the Lu family does not receive a penny.
"Spring and Autumn Guangsha" can be called the first inn in Quanzhou, which is naturally not in vain. The seven-storey building is rich in restaurants, wine shops, teahouses, gambling houses and many side rooms, and there is also a Hongwu Hall and a Water Pavilion in front of and behind the main building. Among them, Hongwutang is a place where people in the martial arts learn from each other and discuss martial arts, and Sushui Pavilion is a beautiful place to listen to music and appreciate dance on a snowy night.
I have to say that the people in the martial arts who come and go here feel that the Lu family in the south of the Yangtze River has a great cause at the same time, they will also sincerely admire the Lu family's way of life.
As a result, the Jiangnan Lu family has more and more friends in the rivers and lakes, and their feelings are getting wider and wider, and their status is getting higher and higher. This is also an important reason why Mo Cen's 60th birthday and Jinpan wash his hands, and they both chose to feast on the martial arts heroes at the Lu family in Jiangnan.
The land in Jiangnan is limited, and it is rare for outsiders to be invited into the mansion, and they are generally the heads of various sects, elders or powerful family heads, or famous heroes who shock the rivers and lakes. For example, Luo Tianjin belongs to one of them.
For ordinary martial arts colleagues and sect disciples, they will be arranged to stay in the Spring and Autumn Guangsha, Lin Fangda belongs to this category, accompanying Luo Tianjin in the Lu Mansion during the day to visit the heroes and heroes of all walks of life, and returning to the Spring and Autumn Mansion to rest at night.
At this moment, Lin Fangda and Liu Xunyi met each other, and they naturally went to the mansion to drink.
"Brother Liu, since you haven't received an invitation from the Lu Mansion, then Lin will greet you tonight!"
Lin Fangda was extremely enthusiastic, and took Liu Xunyi to the most lively water pavilion in the Spring and Autumn Mansion, at this moment it was dark at night, and most of the guests who stayed in the Spring and Autumn Mansion came to the Water Pavilion, because not only can you drink and have fun here, but also can see many enchanting and charming singers and dancers.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and there are many men in the rivers and lakes, so it is not surprising that the Sushui Pavilion is the most lively tonight.
In the Water Tracing Pavilion where the drunken gold fans and Zhong Ming Ding eat, Lin Fangda took Liu Xunyi to shuttle back and forth in the bustling crowd to search, and finally found an empty table in the corner of the lobby.
After the two of them sat down, they didn't need to say hello, they wore tulle skirts, almost did not cover their bodies, spring was looming, and the beautiful girls who were dressed very enchanting sent the wine and delicacies one by one, and poured the wine for them, which can be described as considerate and thoughtful.
When the beautiful lady was pouring wine for Liu Xunyi, she smiled charmingly at Liu Xunyi with spring in her eyes, and then gently pushed the wine in front of Liu Xunyi, the loose sleeves gently slipped off, and the white jade arm came out like a hibiscus out of the water, and a red rope was tied to the wrist, and a round jade bead hung at the lower end of the red rope. The sleeves of his clothes swept gently in front of Liu Xunyi, bringing a burst of soul-seducing fragrance, which made Liu Xunyi a little overwhelmed, so he had to hurriedly look away.
"Brother Liu, it seems that the woman is interested in you. After the beautiful lady left, Lin Fang smiled generously, "Brother Liu is naturally handsome and extraordinary, and it is reasonable for a woman to give you a hug, unlike me, a reckless man who is five big and three rough, I sat here for a long time yesterday, and I have never seen a single smiling face of them." Haha......"
"Brother Lin, what kind of place did you bring me to?" Liu Xunyi looked at the guests drinking and laughing in the lobby with stunned eyes, as well as the beautiful women who were singing and dancing among the guests, and he was not embarrassed at the moment.
"Spring and Autumn Guangsha, Tracing Water Pavilion. Lin Fang laughed and said, "Women are bound to go to Mandarin Duck Pavilion when they arrive in Quanzhou, and if we men come to Quanzhou, then we must come to Sushui Pavilion for a long time." This is not a green building or a pickled place, this place is a family business of Jiangnan Lufu, so Brother Lin must not think crookedly. Due to the laughter and laughter in the Sushui Pavilion, Lin Fangda had to raise his voice when he was talking to Liu Xunyi.
Liu Xunyi nodded lightly as if he didn't understand, and said, "Then these women ......?"
"If Lang has a concubine, it is worth a thousand gold at the moment of the Spring Festival. Lin Fang laughed and said, "If you don't have this peach blossom fate, then you just drink and listen to music, and you don't have to pay attention to the rest." Although the Sushui Pavilion is not a green building, it does not prevent guests from coming here to have fun. According to the rules of the Water Pavilion, as long as the guests who come here have the ability to capture the hearts of those singers and dancers, they can invite them to drink and laugh together, and even bring back the wing room to enjoy the golden wind and jade dew, and no one will interfere with it. But if you don't have the ability to please women, and you want to use money or force women to comply, you are asking for trouble, and the Sushui Pavilion will not tolerate it, and the guards arranged by the Lu family in the Spring and Autumn Mansion will not sit idly by. ”
Hearing Lin Fangda's explanation, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be amazed.
"Offending the Lu family in Quanzhou is tantamount to asking for a dead end, so unless it is a drunken offender, no one dares to be presumptuous here. Lin Fang laughed and said, "Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and the Jiangnan Lu Mansion has used such novel means to win over martial arts people, but it is also a unique intention. Haha......"
"I didn't expect there to be such a place in the world. Liu Xunyi sighed in disbelief, "It's rare to take nothing from the people in the martial arts, and take care of them so thoughtfully, no wonder Jiangnan Lufu can make so many friends on the rivers and lakes." ”
"I think that woman is good. Lin Fang raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Brother Liu must be the first time to come to Quanzhou, and the foolish brother has nothing to greet you, why don't you find an upper room in this Sushui Pavilion for you, and fulfill the good deeds between you and that beautiful girl?"
"Don't, don't ......" Liu Xunyi had just drunk a sip of wine after hearing Lin Fangda's words, and suddenly spurted out again, refusing again and again, "Brother Lin misunderstood what I meant." ”
"Haha......" Lin Fangda couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Liu Xunyi being so embarrassed, "That woman's skin just now is better than snow, she can be broken by blowing, and she is also one in a hundred beauties, not to mention that people smile at you mercifully, the so-called fair lady and gentleman are good, Brother Liu must not be seen in front of me." ”
"Brother Lin's good intentions, I understand it, but I don't have to mention this matter again. Liu Xunyi seemed to be afraid of Lin Fangda, who was open-mouthed, and shook his head again and again, "You and my brother are still the happiest when they drink." ”
"Yes, I hit it off with you at first sight in Langyuan, West Lake, Lin'an, and then you saved me and Ning Yu under Ding Qinghong, and now we meet again in Quanzhou, I have to say that this is a great fate. Lin Fangda nodded quite boldly, "At the moment, I saw that although Brother Liu is strong-blooded, he is not greedy for women, and he is really a man who stands up to the sky." ”
"The matter of Lin'an is just a road to see injustice and draw a knife to help, not to mention the grace of saving lives. Liu Xunyi said, "Brother Lin and I are friends, and friends should be close to each other, and they stick knives in their ribs. As for other things, Brother Lin Hugh has to mention it again, and you and Miss Luo don't always have to think about repaying the favor, otherwise I won't dare to recognize you as a friend anymore. ”
Liu Xunyi's words made Lin Fang admire again and again, and a touch of admiration couldn't help but emerge between his eyebrows, and he said loudly: "Brother Liu is generous and heroic, and it is rare for you and me to be so fateful, Lin has the courage to worship Brother Liu as a brother of the opposite sex, but I don't know what Brother Liu wants?"
Liu Xunyi knew how many people in the rivers and lakes were bold and righteous, but he didn't expect that Lin Fangda had only met him three times, so he wanted to marry Jin Lan, and he was even more moved by Lin Fangda's straightforwardness. But then I thought that I was actually prepared, so I deliberately approached him, so I secretly felt guilty, and my expression became a little hesitant at the moment.
"What's the matter? Could it be that Brother Liu looks down on Lin Mou, a rough man?" Lin Fangda couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this.
"How come?" Liu Xunyi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "To be a brother with a bold and righteous person like Brother Lin, Liu can't ask for it!"
"Brother Liu has a life-saving ...... for me Don't mention those! Just because Brother Liu, you are strong in martial arts, and you like to act chivalrous and righteous, the person who really can't ask for it should be me!" Lin Fang laughed and said, "Since this is the case, then we will save those red tapes, you and I will drink this cup together, it can be regarded as a declaration to heaven and earth, and in the future, you and I will be brothers in life and death who share weal and benement!" After that, Lin Fangda had raised the wine glass in his hand straight in front of Liu Xunyi, just waiting for Liu Xunyi to agree.
"Thanks to the love of the eldest brother, but I am disrespectful to the younger brother!"
Seeing Lin Fangda's insistence, Liu Xunyi no longer hesitated, raised his wine glass and touched Lin Fangda's wine glass lightly, and then the two of them each drank the wine in the cup, and then turned the wine glass upside down at the same time, and used a drop of empty glass to show each other's Akagi. The two looked at each other and suddenly felt the pride in their chests, and couldn't help laughing.
Liu Xunyi himself didn't expect that when he stepped into the rivers and lakes, he would have a brother of the opposite sex in a daze, and he also married Jin Lan at the seemingly casual wine table, all kinds of surprises made Liu Xunyi surprised at the same time, but also more and more like the free and uninhibited people of the rivers and lakes, and act recklessly. sighed that although he was quite interested in the people and things in the rivers and lakes before, when he really melted into the rivers and lakes, he found that everything here seemed to be a little different from what he imagined.
