Chapter 9 Yangzhou, Lichun Courtyard!
Yangzhou has been a prosperous resort since ancient times. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the canal, Yangzhou lives in the canal, which is the place where Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Cao Yun must pass. In the season of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was gathered by the salt merchants, and Yin was rich in the world.
The Mingyufang on the shore of the Slender West Lake is the place where the famous prostitutes of the Qinglou gather, and the voices of the people are boiling, day and night.
"Reishun-in"
Song Jie is dressed in silk and satin, dressed as a Taoist, but what he is holding in his hand is not dust, but a white jade gold silk fan, a beautiful young man, people unconsciously forget his Taoist identity, and only feel that he is a rich son who came to have fun.
Although the girls in Lichun Courtyard are doing dusty things, they are also women after all, and they naturally prefer handsome and young rich sons to those bad old men.
As soon as Song Jie stepped into Lichun Courtyard, he was greeted by two girls dressed in flowers.
"Childe, why did you only come today, Chunhong misses you. ”
"Yes, Childe, you haven't come to see the green show in a few days. ”
Song Jie was a little overwhelmed by this situation, this was the first time he had come to the Qinglou, and he made it as if he was a regular customer.
When the two girls saw Song Jie's appearance, they glanced at each other, their eyes were full of smiles, and they also saw it at this time, the young man in front of them was the first time to enter this kind of place.
After discovering this, the two girls were secretly happy, they were the girls who solicited guests at the door, in fact, they were not of the age to pick up customers, but they were arranged to adapt to this atmosphere first, and their bodies were still innocent.
For girls like them who have never received guests, the best result is nothing more than to take advantage of their innocence to be looked down upon and then ransomed.
And a young man like Song Jie who came for the first time is undoubtedly the best choice.
Song Jie naturally didn't know the bends and bends in this, but now he also remembered some of the episodes in the TV series on Earth.
I saw Song Jie take out two ingots of silver and stuff them into the bandeau of the two girls.
"I asked you someone, who of you knows where Wei Xiaobao is?"
The silver he took out now was naturally not earned by himself, but given to him by Wang Derong when he got off the ship, and this Taoist priest also used this silver to buy it.
"Hey, son, Wei Xiaobao's bastard boy has been missing for half a month, if he offends you, he won't do anything about our Lichun Courtyard. ”
A woman in her thirties who came up next to her heard Song Jie's question and hurriedly came up to explain.
Song Jie smiled lightly: "Did I say that Wei Xiaobao offended me? He has really been missing for half a month?"
The woman smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "This son, Wei Xiaobao really hasn't been back for half a month, otherwise, I'll find you a few beautiful girls?" The girls of our Lichun Courtyard are famous in the whole Yangzhou. ”
Song Jie shook his head, walked in, and said, "It's not necessary, you go and call Wei Chunhua to me." ”
He paused at his feet, turned his gaze to the two welcoming girls, pondered for a moment, and said, "Come with you." ”
"Good, good. The woman smiled happily: "Childe, you really have vision, Miss Luxiu is the number one brand of our Lichun Courtyard in the future." ”
"Oh?" Song Jie looked at Lu Xiu unexpectedly and asked, "Are you the top girls of Lichun Courtyard all coming to the door to greet guests?"
The woman smiled coquettishly: "How can it? If Childe comes a day or two early, he won't be able to see our Green Show Girl, and there is still half a month when our Green Show Girl will leave the cabinet, so Childe must come to cheer." ”
Song Jie came over suddenly, although this girl named Luxiu is the top brand cultivated by Lichun Academy, but when she is approaching the day of leaving the pavilion, she will also stay at this gate for a while.
On the one hand, let her be mentally prepared, and on the other hand, it is also to let the guests who come and go to Mingyufang know the appearance of Luxiu.
Following Chunhong and Luxiu, Song Jie walked out of the foyer, and in front of him was a larger hall, with vermilion pillars on both sides supporting the circular corridor on the second floor, and the girls leaning on the corridor and laughing.
In the hall, a wide staircase leads to the second floor, and there are more than a dozen tables and chairs on the left and right, which are now full of people.
or a martial arts hawker with a sword and a sword, or a wealthy businessman with silk and silk, or a literati who dances and splashes ink, leaning on the red and leaning on the green, so lively.
Walk up the stairs to the second floor, the third room on the left-hand side, push open the door, only to see two rooms inside and outside, the outer room has a table and a guqin, and the inside room is a large bed.
Song Jie sat at the table, looked at Chunhong and Luxiu, and said, "What are the names of the two of you?"
Chunhong and Luxiu glanced at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, and Luxiu said: "Back to Gongzi, we will call Chunhong and Luxiu." ”
Song Jie shook his head and laughed softly: "I'm talking about your real name. You all had names before you came here. ”
Chunhong lowered her head, her eyes were dark, and said, "My family's name is Liu Yun'er." After a pause, she glanced at Luxiu again and said, "Sister Luxiu grew up in Lichun since she was a child, and she doesn't know the name of her family. ”
Song Jie nodded clearly, and just wanted to speak, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door getting closer and closer, and after a while, the door was pushed open, and a half-aged walked in, followed by four small maids, holding wine and food in their hands.
"Oh, this boy looks at the face. The half-old looked about thirty years old, holding a fan in her hand, covering her mouth and smiling.
Song Jie waved away Xiao Si, who was delivering wine and food, looked at her, and said, "You are Wei Chunhua?"
Wei Chunhua sat next to Song Jie, poured wine with a wine jug, and said with a smile: "It's Wei Chunhua, come, son, have a drink." ”
Song Jie blocked the wine glass and said lightly: "Your son Wei Xiaobao disappeared half a month ago, you tell me what happened half a month ago." ”
Although the woman just now said that Wei Xiaobao had been missing for half a month, Song Jie didn't believe people at random, and recruited Wei Chunhua just to reconfirm.
When you come to Yangzhou, if you want to determine the progress of the plot, there is no simpler and more effective way than asking Wei Xiaobao's whereabouts.
Song Jie saw that Wei Chunhua was hesitant and didn't answer for a long time, so he couldn't help but laugh softly: "Don't worry, if I have a grudge against your son, can you still sit here? Tell me about what happened half a month ago, I just want to confirm some things." ”
Wei Chunhua looked at Song Jie suspiciously, as if she was sure of something, and finally said: "I don't know what's going on, Xiaobao is gone, the salt dealers in the city are looking for Jia Lao Liu, who is in the Tiandi Society, and finally they fight for some reason......
"Alright. Song Jie waved her hand to interrupt her, nodded and said, "Needless to say, in this way, Wei Xiaobao has indeed left Yangzhou with Mao Shiba." ”
Song Jie silently calculated in his heart, half a month ago was at the beginning of the plot, with the distance from Yangzhou to Beijing, Mao Shibai was still a thief wanted by the Qing court, and now Wei Xiaobao should not have arrived in the capital.
Naturally, he didn't enter the palace, the plot was not too much, and he still had a lot of time to lay out calmly.
Song Jie promised Yuan Chengzhi to help the Nine Difficulties against the Qing Dynasty, and the several major anti-Qing forces in the original work, whether directly or indirectly, are rare help.
Not to mention the Shenlong Sect, the activities in the Central Plains are only the fake queen mothers, and they can't be contacted for the time being, and Hong Antong is also a master in the world.
Among the rest of the forces, the first is the Heaven and Earth Society, now that Aobai is not dead, the unlucky incense master of Aoki Hall should have hung up, kill Aobai, even if he can't be the incense master of Aoki Hall, he should be able to get a little help from the Heaven and Earth Society.
The second is Mu Wangfu, Mu Wangfu has been passed from the early Ming Dynasty to the present, and in the early Qing Dynasty, it was the main force to support the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and there will never be just a few martial arts people under his command, Song Jie believes that they must have hidden private troops in secret, and the combat power will never be too weak.
The last, and most important, the biggest anti-Qing force, that is, the three representatives of Wu Sangui, Mu Wangfu still secretly trained some private soldiers, but Wu Sangui clearly put hundreds of thousands of troops in the open.
Such a force destined to oppose the Qing Dynasty, it is a waste not to find a way to collect a few uses, besides, few people in the world will like Wu Sangui, and he will not only not be scolded, but also praised.
Thinking of this, Song Jie suddenly felt that he should create a force, otherwise it would be really difficult to do so many things.
It's just that he has no experience in controlling large forces in his previous life or this life, so he still needs to find a loyal assistant who can help.
Song Jie carefully counted all the people who appeared in the original book, and suddenly found that those who had the ability to control large forces, but would not have too much ambition, he could only think of one person, and that was the wife of the sect leader of the Divine Dragon Sect, Su Quan.
For a man, it is a woman who is most likely to betray him, and it is a woman who is the least likely to betray him, especially a woman like Su Quan, as can be seen from the original book, as long as she is truly in love with you, then she will think about you wholeheartedly.
There is no doubt that Su Quan has some ambitions, even if she has no ambitions now, as the power and power in her hands expand, her ambitions will also expand.
The safest way is, of course, to make Su Quan fall in love with him, but even if he doesn't, Song Jie won't worry too much.
Because he never thought of completely dictatorship and control of a force, he came to Su Quan to delegate power and be the shopkeeper, and the plane of Lu Ding Ji was still too low-level and not worth his waste of too much energy.
If in the end, Su Quan betrayed, with his martial arts, he could also deter others at any time and take back control of the forces, just like Hong Antong.
Suppress all resistance with absolute strength!
Thinking of this, Song Jie made a decision in his heart, and said in his heart: "The next stop is to go to the capital and find the fake queen mother to inquire about the news of the Divine Dragon Sect, the Divine Dragon Sect itself is on the overseas Snake Island, and it has always been secretive in the Central Plains, and ordinary people really don't know how to get there." ”
The world is truly unpredictable.
I thought that the Divine Dragon Sect was the farthest force away from him, but I didn't expect to come back after thinking about it, but I had to be the first to find him.
Fortunately, there are many contradictions within the Divine Dragon Sect, as long as Hong Antong is solved, and then the formula and antidote of the Leopard Fetal Yijin Pill are obtained, the entire Divine Dragon Sect can almost be controlled.
If you look at it this way, the Shenlong Sect is actually one of the best forces to solve among the several major anti-Qing forces, they are supported by Hong Antong, as long as he dies, everything will be fine.
Moreover, Su Quan is also full of resentment towards Hong Antong, and killing Hong Antong can better subdue her, and even control the Divine Dragon Sect can save a lot of effort.
With a plan in mind, Song Jie's eyes turned to the three women in the room again, and said, "Liu Yun'er, Lu Xiu, what will you do?"
Liu Yun'er was stunned for a moment, glanced at Lu Xiu, and replied in a low voice: "Childe, Sister Lu Xiu and I have been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, dance, wine and tea since we were children, and we dare not say that we are proficient, but we both know some of them." The pastries made by Sister Green Show are also very good. ”
Song Jie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and sighed in his heart: "It's really not easy to be a woman in the dust in ancient times, in addition to being outstanding, you also have to have a good talent, no wonder many of those famous talented women are from Qinglou women." ”
"I still lack two maids with swords and incense, go and tell your person in charge, I bought your deed of sale, how about you follow me in the future?" Song Jie took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom and handed them over, each of which could be exchanged for a full amount of cash in Shanxi Qianzhuang.
Liu Yun'er and Lu Xiu were stunned at the same time, and then they glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and a little bit incredible, Lu Xiu said excitedly: "Thank you Gongzi for taking pity on our sisters." ”
And Liu Yun'er had already taken the silver ticket at this time and trotted out of the room, obviously in a mood that couldn't wait. Wei Chunhua looked at Lu Xiu with envy, with a hint of congratulations in her eyes, if someone was willing to redeem her, it would be a maid, and she would be willing!
After a while, Liu Yun'er ran back gasping, and there was still more than half of the silver ticket in her hand, and the silver ticket was handed over with the two deed of sale, and said, "Childe, the deed of sale and the rest of the silver tickets for me and Sister Luxiu are here." ”
Song Jie took the silver ticket, and without looking at the deed of sale, he directly tore it in half, and said with a smile: "In my place, there is no need for this kind of thing." It's not surprising that you can't get any of these silver tickets back, but I didn't expect you to get so many back. ”
Liu Yun'er smiled slyly, like a little fox, and said, "I didn't take out all the silver tickets when I went to redeem myself, and two thousand taels is enough to return the deed of sale between me and Sister Luxiu." ”
Song Jie smiled dumbly, and then smiled: "You are really smart." Come with me!"
After that, the footsteps didn't stop, the person had already left the room, and behind him, Liu Yun'er and Lu Xiu also hurriedly followed.
