My name is Qiye, and I am a woman. The name Qiye was taken by my master Mo Shangsang. I have a brother named Merry Valley and a brother named Nine Nights. When I walk the rivers and lakes, I prefer to be called a heroine. Because the heroine doesn't leave a name, the name is very troublesome. But to be honest, the rivers and lakes I have walked in are only the size of a sesame seed in Jinling City. And the most interesting place I've been to is the ten-mile alley in Jinling City.

Jinling City is not big, and there are many places where you can rest. But the Ten Miles Walk is not the same as the average inn and tavern. It's an all-inclusive place. For example, here you can see the famous white leader and the notorious underworld devil drinking a jar of wine, and you can see the eunuchs, merchants, and beggars eating at the same table. The young lady who has been raised in the boudoir for a long time can sing music and stroke the piano here, of course, she doesn't sell her body. Ten miles through the alleys without fighting, dignitaries and nobles came here to drink in civilian clothes, and fugitive prisoners came here for refuge. Passing officials, head catchers, dart masters, killers, barefoot langzhong, cloth bag monks often come to the store to ask for a cup of tea, as well as those extremely amorous men and women, beautiful women and celebrities who hide their charms, and thieves from all walks of life who are disguised and disguised like to settle here. In the ten miles through the alleys, all the news is clearly marked, as long as you have silver, you can get any news. Murder too. The killers on the list of killers who can travel ten miles through the alleys are all extraordinary, but as long as you have enough silver, you can invite them.

No matter how chaotic the rivers and lakes are, there is no killing in the ten miles of alleys, no distinction between black and white, only business and business. This is a clear rule that everyone knows.

Many things on the rivers and lakes were told to me by Meng Yunsheng. I have two hobbies, one is drinking, and the other is listening to people's stories. The best wine in the world is the worm wine that runs through the alley for ten miles, and the person who tells the best story is Jinling Mengyunsheng who runs through the alley for ten miles.

When I was eight years old, I secretly followed my brother to drink in the alleys without telling my master. At that time, Meng Yunsheng was dressed in green clothes, his long black hair was scattered to his waist, and his sword eyebrows were picturesque. He laughed together, raised the hundred-fold fan in his hand, and told the visitors about the rumors of grievances or court history. When it comes to the wonderful, without exception, the folding fan will be hung down and closed, and the four words "big dream life" written in wild grass are included in the hundred-fold fan. Meng Yunsheng said that if you still want to hear the next decomposition, you need to take the worm two wine as a reward.

Usually after a story, Meng Yunsheng's table is full of wine jars. And my brother and I added up all the silver in our bodies to buy half a pot of worm wine. This half pot of worm wine has to be drunk by two people in "one sip and one sip", and you will inevitably miss a few precious drops in the process of competing for me. Just when I was silently distressed about the worm wine that had been spilled on the table, a jar of wine fell from the sky and landed steadily in front of me and my senior brother. Meng Yunsheng opened the fan with a "bang", and said with a smile: "I often see you two come to listen to me and make a friend, this jar of wine is counted as I invite you." ”

Now that ten years have passed, I still come to listen to Meng Yunsheng tell stories, and I still like to drink worm wine with him. Ten years later, I also reached the age of drunkenness and love, and after drinking too much, I slowly knew what it was like to melt into my bowels. Ten years later, Meng Yunsheng is still dressed in green clothes, holding a folding fan, and his appearance is the same as back then, not different.

The girls who ran out of the boudoir to listen to him were now married to women, and when they came to see him with their children and daughters, their cheeks were still red and their eyes were shy. Mengyun grew with a wave of his green sleeves, raised the hundred-fold fan in his hand, and stood in front of the table. The shopkeeper is sharp-eyed and gives a pot of worm and two wines. Those passers-by who were eating and chatting gathered around, and someone asked, "Jinling scholar, what do you want to talk about today?"

"Don't worry," Meng Yunsheng raised his head and drained the pot of worm wine, "Today I will tell you a story about the Jinling Yan family." ”

The crowd booed. The red-eyed and bearded man just now said: "What's so good about the story of a pink family! ”

Meng Yunsheng smiled but did not speak.

Someone in the crowd stood up again and said: "Meng Yunsheng has his own truth in storytelling. If you don't think it's exciting, don't buy him wine. I raised my eyebrows at Meng Yunsheng defiantly, by the way, the person who said this was the heroine me.

The crowd finally fell silent. The hundred-fold fan was opened with a "whoosh-" sound, and Meng Yunsheng smiled and said: "Everyone, a big dream for a lifetime, a good show." ”

The Yan family in Meng Yunsheng's story is a family in Jinling City that is famous for its beauties. I've heard a little about it.

The Yan family raises people on this land, not to mention the appearance of coming out and entering, not to mention the best elegance, and the temperament is also superior. The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and there are many talented people in Jinling City, but you can also recognize who is from the Yan family when you walk on the street. The husband and wife of the Yan family are deeply affectionate and have many children under their knees. Mrs. Yan has always wanted a daughter, but she told her fortune by looking at her appearance, saying that she was destined to have many sons and no daughters in her life. Sure enough, all the nine sons of the Yan family are men. After giving birth to her ninth son, Mrs. Yan's belly did not move again. Until the ninth son was five years old, when Master Yan was about to give up the idea of having a daughter, Mrs. Yan was happy again. That year, Mrs. Yan gave birth to Miss Yan, who was also the great beauty of Jinling City in the future.

Master Yan loves his daughter very much. When Yan Yuluan was born, he invited the master of the Jiming Ancient Temple to approve the little girl's life. That year, the old man who looked at the face of Hu Yanyan naturally didn't believe it. But the master must tell him that Miss Yan was born against the will of heaven and cause and effect, numerology is special, if she does not marry at the age of eighteen, she will be displaced for the rest of her life.

Now Yan Yuluan is eighteen years old, in the prime of life, and Master Yan is worried about her marriage. The Yan family is a famous family, and there are many people who come up and down to ask for relatives. At that time, Master Su You also left a luminous cup for Master Yan, telling him that after eighteen years, he would hide the luminous cup in Jinling City, and the person who found it was Miss Yan's destined husband.

A month ago, Master Yan informed everyone in the city that the glow-in-the-dark cup would be hidden somewhere in Jinling City on the eighteenth birthday of Yan Yuluan on August 15. Whoever can be the first to find the luminous cup, no matter what his background, is the uncle of the Yan family. I don't want to, on August 15, the luminous cup was stolen, and I don't know what happened. Master Yan released the news again, who can find the luminous cup now, not only can he hold the beauty, but also enjoy the glory and wealth of his life.

Who wouldn't want to pick up the cheap for nothing. Master Yan's words almost turned the entire land of Jinling City over.

However, has anyone ever seen this glow-in-the-dark cup?

Meng Yunsheng pointed to one of the people in the crowd and asked, "Have you seen it?"

The man smiled, "How could I have seen it." ”

"That's it. I think that except for the Yan couple, Master Xu and Yan Yuluan, there will be no fifth person in Jinling City who knows the appearance of the luminous cup. ”

"Then how do you find it?" the bearded man said anxiously with red eyes, "Isn't the Yan family deliberately trying to make things difficult for us!"

"Do you think this soft rice aunt of the Yan family is so good?" someone answered, "But looking at your five big and three thick appearance, you must not be able to find the luminous cup." ”

There was a sneer from the crowd, but the bearded man didn't care, and snorted, "Scholar, you go on." ”

Meng Yunsheng said: Who in Jinling City doesn't want to marry Yan Yuluan? The first person to dispatch was the Zhu family, a salt merchant.

Zhu Luosheng, the only son of the Zhu family, is a typical gentleman, and what he covets in his heart must be taken by force. The day after Master Yan announced the news, the father and son of the Zhu family came to visit. The splendid sedan chair with red top and gold wire, the team of Haohao soup, the matchmaker who was dressed in bells and whistles followed by gongs and drums, and the family members carried dozens of boxes of things. As soon as the brocade Suzhou embroidered silk box was opened, five pairs of exquisite glass cups, Boss Zhu smiled and said to Master Yan: "In the name of Miss Jiu Muyan, I propose marriage for my son Luo Sheng." I think that one of these five pairs of glass cups must be what Boss Yan is looking for. ”

Master Yan was unmoved, "Everyone in Jinling knows that these ten exquisite glass cups are the heirlooms of Boss Zhu's family. How could the stolen things in Yan's house be here? If you haven't found the glow-in-the-dark cup, Boss Zhu should please go back. ”

Boss Zhu's abacus fell short and left with his sleeves brushed up.

The drinkers who listened to the book scolded one after another, this surnamed Zhu's family has a lot of money, and he wants to buy this door-to-door aunt with copper smell.

Meng Yunsheng nodded, not only the surname Zhu, but also the surname Jia, and the surname Wang Sun also thought.

Jia Wu of the Dongmen Gang relied on being a relative of the city lord to loot all the gold and silver shops in the city. The Dongmen Gang is numerous and well-informed, and if there are objects in the homes of the people that are related to the luminous cup, they will definitely be plundered and presented to Jia Wu. The so-called luminous cups were continuously sent to Yan's house, but unfortunately none of them were hit.

Wang Sun's family is a big family who runs a jewelry shop in Ruxiangfang, and has the best relationship with goldsmiths and silversmiths. The surname Wang Sun is calculating and calculating. He bought off the Yan family. Jia Ding told Wang Sun that he had seen the luminous cup from a distance before. It is about half a foot high, with a gold body on a silver background, carved with a hollow pattern, and it will radiate at night. According to what Jia Ding said, Wang Sun invited the best goldsmith and silversmith master to build one according to the gourd painting scoop, and exchanged some crystal powder from the people of the Western Regions to sprinkle on the wall of the cup. He deliberately sent someone to bring the luminous cup into Yan's mansion at night. I thought that the victory was in hand, but I didn't want to return the luminous cup unchanged before dawn.

Everyone laughed, "Fake is fake, and you still want to be confused?"

"But then again, no one has ever seen a glow-in-the-dark cup...... Is there such a thing?"

"Scholar, do you know what a luminous cup looks like?"

"I'm just a storyteller, how would I know?"

"Could it be that Master Yan made it up out of thin air?"

"Yes!" the crowd chimed in.

"Don't be impatient," Meng Yunsheng put away his fan, "Not only do you have such doubts, but there is also a person in the rivers and lakes who thinks so." ”
