After a while, Zhu Tianmao took two long knives back to the house, and he threw one of them to Meng Ran.

After Meng Ran took the long knife, he slowly walked to the wide open space and stood opposite Zhu Tianmao.

Zhu Tianmao showed a cruel expression, and then he roared, and the long knife was already unsheathed, slashing towards Meng Ran.

Meng Ran dodged while muttering in his heart, worthy of being a disciple of the sect, with sharp knives and knives, without the slightest bells and whistles.

After five knives, Meng Ran brazenly drew his knife and slashed at Zhu Tianmao.

Meng Ran, who had already stepped into the second grade of martial arts, had a long breath, and the knife momentum was fast and heavy, but with seven or eight swings, Zhu Tianmao was pressed into defeat, and as for winning or losing, it was just a matter of moments.

Zhou Xiaowu, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but secretly hate, and scolded Zhu Tianmao, who boasted of his superior martial arts, and also hated Meng Ran's good skills, a pair of good-looking eyes were full of coldness, and it seemed that he was about to shoot out two divine lights and directly strangle the two people who were fighting in the field.

Hearing only the sound of 'bang', Zhu Tianmao's knife had already been taken out of his hand and slanted into the pillar on the side, his front placket was pointed at by a long knife, and his undulating chest was almost touching the tip of the knife.

Meng Ran put away the knife and stood up, hugged his fist at Zhu Tianmao, put the long knife in his hand in the corner, and returned to his seat.

Zhou Xiaowu took the lead in applauding, and the rest of the people also reached out and clapped their hands, and the sparse applause echoed in the room.

Zhu Tianmao's face was gloomy, he snorted coldly at Zhou Xiaowu, broke his sleeves, and left the room directly.

Zhou Xiaowu smiled awkwardly, then returned to his seat, raised his glass and said, "Let's raise a glass together to congratulate Brother Meng Xian." ”

Everyone drank it all.

After Zhou Xiaowu put down the wine glass, he glanced at Meng Ran and asked, "Has Brother Xian not seen Miss Fei'er yet?"

Meng Ran shook his head and said: "I've been in Jiaxing for a few days, but I haven't gone out, so naturally I haven't seen this famous Oiran." ”

Zhou Xiaowu smiled and asked, "Is Brother Xian planning to spend the night here, or will he go back to Nanhu Courtyard?"

Meng Ran was stunned for a moment and said, "Naturally, I went back to the Nanhu Courtyard." ”

Zhou Xiaowu slapped his slap twice, and a steward walked into the room, saluted everyone in the banquet and asked, "I don't know what Gongzi Zhou has to order?"

Zhou Xiaowu stretched out his index finger and knocked twice on the desk, and then ordered: "Call Miss Fei'er." ”

The steward nodded yes and retreated.

After a while, a woman dressed in red stepped into the room lightly, blessed everyone, and said in a soft voice: "The concubine has seen your sons. ”

Meng Ran followed the voice and saw the woman in red bowing her head slightly, her figure was exquisite, with a hibiscus-like face, and white and soft skin like ice and snow.

Although Meng Ran was not very old and had never been in a human condition, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his eyes stared straight at the shadow.

Zhou Xiaowu coughed lightly and said, "Fei'er girl, you raise your head and let my virtuous brother see it clearly." ”

Meng Ran's cheeks flushed slightly, as if he was the Oiran of the Qinglou who was being watched.

Seinfeld raised her head slightly, her eyes were as clear as morning dewdrops, and she looked at Meng Ran with a smile, her eyebrows were as delicate as willow leaves, and the fly in the ointment was that there was a red mole on the tip of her eyebrows, which destroyed the original pure and beautiful taste, giving people a feeling of charm and ecstasy.

When Zhou Xiaowu looked at Meng Ran again, Meng Ran had already lowered his head and drank, as if he was not the one who swallowed his saliva just now.

Although Meng Ran was amazed by Seinfeld's appearance and posture, he was still an untrained boy chicken in the end, and he didn't understand the fun of yin and yang, so he no longer paid attention to it, just thinking about his own affairs.

Zhou Xiaowu looked at Meng Ran, who didn't care much, and asked softly, "Brother Xian, what do you think of Fei'er girl?"

Meng Ran didn't know Zhou Xiaowu's intentions, so he just nodded and said, "Very good." ”

Zhou Xiaowu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to Meng Ran: "Brother Xian, since Miss Fei'er has fallen into your house, why don't you let her dance for everyone before leaving, so that everyone can open their eyes." ”

Meng Ran didn't rejoice, but said in a deep voice: "The previous competition was just improvised, how can you ask for Brother Zhou's lottery? What's more, Miss Fei'er is the Oiran of the Drunken Flower Building, and she is naturally worth a lot of money, so how can she let her brother break the bank?"

Zhou Xiaowu waved his hand and said very seriously: "This is a bad word, since the winner has been decided, the color head should belong to the virtuous brother." What's more, how can I easily take back my words as a brother?

Meng Ran shook his head and said, "But ......"

"Don't. Zhou Xiaowu patted the case a few times, and said unquestionably: "This matter is so decided, don't refuse again, otherwise you will be angry for your brother." ”

Meng Ran could only nod and accept, "Then thank you brother for your kindness." ”

Zhou Xiaowu laughed and said, "This is my good brother." ”

Wang Ruofei and Xu Zhenyu congratulated Meng Ran and congratulated him on his love.

Meng Ran returned the salute with his fists in the laughter of everyone, and the roots of his ears turned red.

After the joke ended, Zhou Xiaowu instructed Seinfeld: "In this case, ask Miss Fei'er to dance a song to bid farewell to this career." ”

After hearing this, Song Fei'er glanced at Meng Ran, and then replied softly: "Please wait a few sons, I'll arrange it first." ”

With that, Seinfeld walked out with light steps.

When Seinfeld returned to the room, she was followed by several women, either holding the yaoqin, or holding the jade xiao, or holding the guzheng.

When they were seated, music sounded and the tune was melodious.

Seinfeld, who was standing in the center, flicked her sleeves, her graceful body danced to the tune, her jade hands lingered gracefully, her skirt fluttered, a pair of clear water eyes wanted to speak, and the streamer flew, and the whole person was like a blooming flame, hot and charming, seemingly within reach, but out of reach.

Everyone in the banquet watched her graceful dancing in fascination, almost forgetting to breathe.

Meng Ran glanced at it a few times, and suddenly thought of the red girl who was also dressed in red, and the whole person instantly sobered up a little, and the originally burning gaze seemed to be doused by a cloud of cold water, leaving only a little coldness.

When Meng Ran was thinking about what he had seen and heard in Yihe Town, Zhou Xiaowu turned sideways and asked, "What does Brother Xian think of this dance?"

Meng Ran smiled and said, "It's the first time I've watched such a dance, which is rare in the world. ”

Zhou Xiaowu said with a smile: "That virtuous brother will be blessed in the future, I hope you will cherish it a lot." ”

Meng Ran's eyes turned, and he thanked again: "Thank you brother for your kindness, junior brother is grateful." ”

Zhou Xiaowu waved his hand, "They are all their own brothers, so there is no need to be polite." ”

At this point, Seinfeld finished dancing and saluted everyone at the table.

A smile overflowed at the corner of Zhou Xiaowu's mouth, and he said loudly: "Fei'er girl, go and pack your luggage, you have to leave with my virtuous brother in a while, don't delay the good spring festival." ”

Seinfeld blushed slightly, bowed to Meng Ran, and walked out gently, and when she left, the musicians also scattered.

Zhou Xiaowu stood up, paced to Meng Ran, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Xian, I'll go to Aunt Du first to redeem Miss Fei'er, you just sit here, and when the matter is done, someone will naturally inform you, and it won't be too late for you to leave then." ”

At this point, Meng Ran could no longer say no, so he could only hug his fists at Zhou Xiaowu and thank him.

After Zhou Xiaowu left, Wang Ruofei, Xu Zhenyu and the old man Hu who drank all the way also left.

The whole room was empty, and only Meng Ran and Li Haoran were left.

Li Haoran took a sip of wine and quipped: "You kid is not shallow." ”

Meng Ran smiled awkwardly, then sighed and said softly: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, I'm afraid that there will be something like a moth later." ”

Li Haoran squinted at Meng Ran and said, "You kid is not stupid, you are not confused by this woman, it's not bad." ”

Meng Ran pursed his lips and didn't say much, just walked to the pillar, pulled out the long knife that Zhu Tianmao was holding before, and slowly inserted it back into the scabbard. After that, he picked up the long knife in the corner and threw it to Li Haoran.

After the two waited for a while, the steward of the Drunken Flower Building came in to report and said to Meng Ran: "Meng Gongzi, Zhou Gongzi has redeemed Fei'er Girl, and the carriage has been prepared, you can leave at any time." ”

Meng Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What about Gongzi Zhou?"

"Zhou Gongzi's mansion has left in advance, let me tell you. The steward replied.

Meng Ran sighed and continued to ask, "Where is Miss Fei'er now?"

The steward replied, "Miss Fei'er is already in the carriage. ”

"So fast?" Meng Ran asked in disbelief.

The steward explained, "Miss Fei'er only brought a wooden box, and she didn't take anything else. ”

"Oh..."Meng Ran glanced at the steward and asked softly, "What about Miss Fei'er's deed of sale?"

The steward hurriedly took out a contract from his sleeve and handed it to Meng Ran, apologizing incessantly, saying that he had forgotten.

Meng Ran waved his hand and motioned for the steward to leave on his own.

After the steward left, Li Haoran let out a long sigh and said, "Meng boy, I'm afraid tonight's candle night in the cave room will be a bad one." ”

Meng Ran smiled coldly, "Since they want to be tempted, let them try enough." ”

Li Haoran swept the long knife in his hand, a smile appeared on the old man's face, and said, "Okay, the old man will accompany you to mess around tonight." ”

Meng Ran's chest suddenly became arrogant, "Since they think my knife is unfavorable, then cut off a few more heads and let them see." ”

The two of them had knives hanging from their waists, and they went downstairs one after the other.

At this time, there were few people in the hall of the Drunken Flower Building, and it was not at all like the crowds in the past.

Meng Ran glanced sideways at Li Haoran, strode out of the Drunken Flower Building, and saw a carriage parked on the dim street, and a coachman was sitting on the wheel.

When the coachman saw Meng Ran, he asked loudly, "But Meng Gongzi? ”

Meng Ran smiled lightly and walked straight towards the carriage, but he did not enter the carriage, but just sat on the wheel, and Li Haoran, who followed Meng Ran, entered the carriage directly.

The coachman whipped his whip, and the carriage moved slowly, the sound of horses' hooves heard far away in the quiet night.
