Chapter XXVII: Temptation

I saw her with cloud temples and red cheeks, green silk and high arms, bright eyes and bright teeth, graceful figure, curly and graceful. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info walk like the wind swinging lotus leaves. A melodious sound sounded, and the girl began to dance.

Liu Jingxuan looked at the dancing posture of the girl in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little fascinated.

Xiao Rang looked at the dance in front of him and nodded frequently.

Chu Jinglian saw the expressions of the two, and was secretly happy in his heart.

When the girl finished dancing, she smiled at the three people in the room and said a blessing, but she didn't leave.

Liu Jingxuan touched his body, smiled ashamedly, and said: "I came out in a hurry today, and I only had five taels of silver on my body, if I gave it to the girl, I was afraid that the girl would laugh." ”

Liu Jingxuan turned his head and asked Xiao Rang: "Mr. Xiao, what about you?"

Xiao Rang almost lost his breath, and said: "My lord, I have a total of ten taels on me, and the girls don't lack your reward, okay?"

Liu Jingxuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Although I don't know how to dance, I can see that the girl dances very well!"

The girl pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Since the adults praise the little girl for dancing well, why don't you ask the name and surname of the people's girl?"

Liu Jingxuan's face turned even redder and said, "Then may I ask the girl's name?"

The girl Jiao Didi said: "The maid's surname is Zhao, and her name is Yushan. Domonchu was taken in outside and made a living here. ”

Chu Jinglian smiled slightly and said, "Miss Zhao is my Jade Phoenix Terrace Oiran, and no one can play the piano and dance. I hope Miss Zhao can accompany the two adults to drink together today?"

Liu Jingxuan glanced at Xiao Rang and said hesitantly: "Well, this." ”

Zhao Yushan saluted again and said: "The people's daughter heard that Lord Liu is honest and honest, loves the people like a son, and treats people equally. Therefore, the folk girl has long hoped to see the demeanor of adults. It is an honor for Lord Liu to come to this Jade Emperor Terrace today. Isn't the adult just as rumored, disgusted with the lowly status of the people's daughter, and is not worthy of the same table as the adult?"

Liu Jingxuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The girl is serious. In that case, what about sitting at the same table?"

Zhao Yushan squatted down and said, "Thank you, Lord Liu." ”

Zhao Yushan sat down at a table opposite Liu Jingxuan and others, raised his glass and said: "I have heard for a long time that Liu Da is a profound talent and a superb chess player, and the people respect the Lord with a cup." ”

Hearing this, the other three were stunned and looked at Zhao Yushan one after another.

Zhao Yushan drank the wine in the cup, gently put the wine glass on the table, and continued: "I heard that yesterday, Lord Liu took down the chess saint Lin Daohong of Yangzhou City as soon as he made a move, which really shocked the little woman. ”

Chu Jing was even shocked when he heard this, and said, "Lord Liu, what's going on?"

Liu Jingxuan said with a smile: "I came to Yangzhou for a few days, and I was really tired, so I wanted to go out for a walk." I didn't want to meet a Go player by the Slender West Lake, so I played a game. The opponent's chess skills are excellent, so I waited for a hearty game. It's just that it's getting late, and Mr. Lin is reluctant to go down, which is inevitably a little lacking. Miss Zhao also knows the roots of this Lin Daohong?"

Zhao Yushan's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Don't hide it, this Lin Daohong has several relationships with me, although I don't know each other, but I still know where his house lives." Moreover, my family Chu Yuanwai and Lin Daohong have also known each other for a long time. ”

Liu Jingxuan's gaze fell on Chu Jinglian.

Chu Jinglian pushed the wine glass forward and said with a smile: "Yes, then Lin Daohong and I have indeed known each other for a long time. Although this person is sour and rotten, his chess skills are indeed amazing, and there are people who have traveled thousands of miles to play against him almost every day. I don't know how to move, but I've never heard of him losing. My lord, you can defeat Lin Daohong, which is unheard of in Yangzhou City. Soon, this Yangzhou City and even Jiangsu Dao will coax the reputation of the adult, but I am afraid that the Beijing Division will also be alarmed in the future. My lord, are you a chess immortal coming from the sky?" Chu Jinglian felt that his teeth fell when he said the last sentence.

Liu Jingxuan frowned. He looked at Xiao Rang and couldn't help but regret it a little.

Xiao Rang understood and said: "My family is addicted to chess, but he likes to keep a low profile and doesn't want people to know about his hobby." If you let the court know, you will definitely think that my family is not diligent in government affairs and likes to have fun. ”

Chu Jinglian suddenly felt that the sycophants just now seemed to be on the horse's hooves, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Then my lord, don't you want to fight with Lin Guoshou again?"

Liu Jingxuan pondered for a moment and said: "I only have this hobby in my life, and I am afraid it will be difficult to quit in this life." This game still needs to be perfected by Chu Yuanwai. It's just that in the future we can do it quietly and try to keep a low profile. What do you think?"

Chu Jinglian laughed loudly: "This matter is wrapped up in the grass people. As long as the adults want to go down, I will be waiting for you at any time. ”

Everyone talked happily, but they didn't realize that the sky was in tune.

Liu Jingxuan looked out the window, looked at Chu Jinglian and said, "Today, the officials are grateful for the hospitality of the staff outside the staff. It's not early, and we're going to go back to rest and take our leave. With that, he got up and left.

Chu Jinglian hurriedly got up and said, "My lord, since it's getting late, why don't you rest on this Jade Phoenix Terrace tonight, and it's not too late to go back to the mansion tomorrow." ”

Zhao Yushan walked up to Liu Jingxuan and said, "If the adults don't dislike the little girl's vulgarity, how about the little girl serving the adults tonight?"

Liu Jingxuan looked at Zhao Yushan, shook his head, and said, "The girl is as beautiful as a fairy, and the name of the Oiran is well deserved." If the girl is obscure and vulgar, she is afraid that there will be no more sinking fish and geese in the world, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon. It's just that the official thinks that the girl's reputation can easily tarnish my generation of laypeople. I gave the girl a sentence: 'It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover'. The girl is still young, and her talent is rare in the world, so don't let herself down. Leave. ”

Zhao Yushan's face was so red that he felt like he had been slapped by someone, and he couldn't help but lower his head.

Chu Jinglian's face was also very embarrassed, but he was old and sophisticated, so he hurriedly rounded the field and said, "Since the adults insist on leaving, there is a gift here, talk about the heart." ”

After speaking, he clapped his hands. The attendant outside the door immediately brought a gold-lacquered wooden plate with two chess pots and a chessboard on it. The squire was a burly and muscular man, and he still had some difficulty holding the plate.

Liu Jingxuan saw at a glance that the chessboard was made of pure silver, and the chess jar was made of pure gold. Liu Jingxuan picked up the chess pieces in the chess jar and checked them, which were also pure gold.

Liu Jingxuan smiled and said: "Chu Yuanwai is really bold, and he gave people such a valuable gift when they met for the first time. It is said that Guo Bingnan's family accounts for half of the county seat in Gaoyou County, and is known as the richest man in Yangzhou. I think you are still inferior to Chu Yuanwai. This gift is dedicated to the saints of today, and it will not feel light. Although I am a chess lover, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Accepting ill-gotten gains, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the official to sleep peacefully in the future. ”

Chu Jinglian's face changed slightly, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Although this thing is not exempt from vulgarity, this is indeed a little bit of heart. If you feel abrupt by the adult, the villain will take it back. ”

Liu Jingxuan frowned slightly, and said lightly: "If Chu Yuanwai really wants to express his heart, please support the official affairs of this government and support the people of Yangzhou Mansion." ”

Chu Jing bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord for mentioning it." ”

Liu Jingxuan's face immediately became soothed, and he bowed his hand to Chu Jinglian again and said, "This official once again thanks Chu Yuanwai and Miss Zhao for their hospitality. If he has the opportunity one day, he will definitely repay him. Leave. ”

Chu Jinglian no longer kept it, and kept sending Liu Jingxuan and Xiao Rang to the gate of Yuhuangtai.

The two sides bowed goodbye.
