Chapter 40: Rhymes on the Qinhuai River (8)
Besides, Zhang Lingyu and the others waited for the boat to come to the dock and went ashore, and several people quickly left the crowd and went straight to the courtyard of Liu Qingyang's house, talking as they walked. Tong Yunfei said: "Big brother, you are really versatile, not only can you play the flute, but also can dance so beautifully, next time we are bored and panicked, please ask the eldest brother to play a song for us to dance for a while." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "It's okay to blow a song, I'll just watch this dance." Hong Xia smiled and said, "You big brother needs a dance partner if you want to dance." Tong Yunfei said: "Wouldn't Miss Hong be his dance partner?" Hong Xia said: "I'm a stupid girl, I can only dance with a sword, not at dance." Ma Junlan said with a smile: "What's so difficult about dancing, Sister Hong, isn't dancing with a sword empty-handed?" Hong Xia smiled: "I don't want to dance, but that Yueli Chang'e, who can sing and dance, will soon follow Brother Yu to the rivers and lakes." Ma Junlan said: "Big brother, is what Sister Hong said true?" Zhang Lingyu smiled: "Sister Xia is the smartest girl, she is right, Miss Yue'e is now my maid, and I am on call." Ma Junlan said: "I don't believe that a famous Oiran would be willing to be a maid, and she herself needs four maids to wait." Hong Xia said: "Sister Lan, do you really think that she just wants to be a maid, she deliberately wants to get close to Brother Yu, she came prepared, and she must have ulterior motives." Tong Yunfei said with a smile: "I think she has only one purpose, which is to see that our eldest brother is a beautiful man and wants to marry." ’
Ma Junlan said: "Big brother, what the hell do you say is going on, how can an Oiran become your maid, how much silver will be used to redeem her." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "You see that the Yue'e girl has the face of a captivating city and a country, and it is worth spending more silver." Ma Junlan said: "Big brother." Do you have that much silver? Didn't you just catch the flower thief and take 3,000 taels of bonuses? An Oiran like Miss Chang is at least more than 10,000 taels, and half of the bonus is Sister Hong's. Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "According to Xiaomei's statement, I am going to send it this time, she is only my maid after losing a bet with me, and besides, she is a free body, so why do you need to redeem the silver, then it is ten thousand taels to resell, but don't send it." Hong Xia smiled: "I see that you will give you 100,000 taels, and you are reluctant to sell her." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "Sister Xia said the same, why do I want so much silver, and besides, there is only one Yue." but silver is everywhere. Ma Junlan smiled and said, "Big brother, it seems that you have a lot of money. Hong Xia smiled: "It's not just ten thousand." Ma Junlan said: "Could it be that the eldest brother is a rich son, not a prodigal son in the rivers and lakes, what he said before was all a lie to us." ’
Tong Yunfei said with a smile: "The eldest brother has to collect money when he beats someone, isn't there silver everywhere." Zhang Lingyu and Hong Xia smiled and didn't speak. Ma Junlan smiled: "So that's the case, you see how stupid I am, I can't even think of this." Tong Yunfei said: "Big brother, when did you make a bet with Miss Chang, why didn't I see it." ’。 Hong Xia said: "Just when Chang Yue'e danced the colorful ribbon and wanted to entangle Brother Yu, this bet must have been made by Chang Yue'e." Brother Yu, you're right. Zhang Lingyu smiled: "Sister Xia is really Bingxue Clever, what she said is very right, she said that if you entangle me with a streamer, I will lose." I have to make her a little maid for three or two, and if she can't entangle, she will lose, and she will be a personal maid for me for the rest of my life. Ma Junlan said: "This Chang Yue'e is so scheming, she has to stick to her eldest brother if she wins or loses." Tong Yunfei smiled: "That's fine, if we want to listen to music, we can ask her to play a song." Hong Xia said: "You think beautifully, don't you hear clearly, she is just Brother Yu's personal maid, how can she let you call back, and in terms of kung fu, she may be a step above us, she wants to be Brother Yu's maid is deliberately trying to get close to Brother Yu, there may be other intentions, it is definitely not as simple as being a maid." ’
Ma Junlan said: "Big brother, you don't see that she has other intentions. Zhang Lingyu said: "Of course I can see it." Ma Junlan said: "Then why did you still promise her." Tong Yunfei said with a smile: "This is called preferring to die under flowers, and being a ghost is also romantic." Zhang Lingyu smiled: "I know that she will not deliberately harm me, I guess she was hunted down by the enemy to hide in Cuiyun Courtyard, she wants to get my protection, maybe she wants to find a helper, she is either hunted down or wants to take revenge." She just doesn't want to be my maid, as long as I meet her, can she stand idly by, don't suspect her bad intentions in the future. Hong Xia said: "We're just talking. The servants boiled hot water in the morning, and everyone rested after washing. Zhang Lingyu instructed Steward Li to go to Hongqing Building early tomorrow morning to set up a banquet.
The next day, Zhang Lingyu and the others got up very late, and they didn't get up until three strokes in the morning, and the maid had already prepared the meal, and when they finished washing, they brought it to the living room for them to eat. Several people were eating, Liu Qingyang and Tong Yuxiu came to the living room together, Liu Qingyang said: "Brother Zhang, why haven't you eaten breakfast until now, is it that the next person is lazy and late to cook the meal." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "It's not bad for people to be lazy, it's because we don't want to get up when we sleep." Liu Qingyang said: "I heard that Brother Zhang also went to the Qinhuai River last night to watch the excitement. Tong Yunfei said: "The eldest brother not only watched the excitement, but also won the name of the young man. Liu Qingyang said with a smile: "This is not surprising at all, whether it is civil or martial, as long as Brother Zhang makes a move, he will be the first." Zhang Lingyu smiled: "Brother Liu, I will be embarrassed if you praise me like this." Hong Xia smiled and said, "Brother Yu, when did your skin become so thin." At this moment, Steward Li walked in and said, "I've seen the eldest son, Mr. Zhang." Zhang Lingyu said: "How are things going?" Steward Li said: "It's all done, and two tables of first-class banquets have been booked." Liu Qingyang said: "Brother Zhang, is it because they don't have good hospitality before they have to go to the restaurant to book a table." ’
Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "I made an appointment with thirteen top brand Oiran to gather in Hongqing Building to show my gratitude, Brother Liu, you also have to go and see it." Liu Qingyang looked at Tong Yuxiu and said with a smile: "It's better for me not to go to those windy and snowy places." Tong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Senior brother, why don't you like to go and see me?" Tong Yunfei smiled and said, "No matter what, I won't go." Ma Junlan said with a smile: "There are so many beautiful women to accompany you, why don't you go." Tong Yunfei said with a smile: "Those beauties are all going to the eldest brother, and they won't look at us when the time comes, what a shame it is." Hong Feng also said: "I don't want to go either, I've never been to a scene like that." Liu Qingyang smiled: "Brother Zhang, then I don't want to go, it's enough for me to have my sister with me." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "According to this, you are all good men, just I am a flowery turnip, even if you don't go, don't say that I didn't give you a chance when the time comes." Zhang Lingyu saw that they didn't want to go with him, so he had to go to the beauty festival alone. (To be continued......)
