After Yi Sheng said goodbye to Ye Bodhi, he immediately inquired carefully in Jinling City, but whether it was a small merchant or a long-term resident, they had never heard of the "Gongye clan" here, which made Yi Sheng gradually puzzled, and secretly said: "After all, what the Gongye predecessors said was three hundred years ago, could it be that this Gongye clan has long ceased to live in Jinling, and it is possible to move elsewhere." He felt a little lost in his heart, and asked a few people to no avail, so he turned around and went to find Ye Bodhi.

Yi Sheng came to the place where the two were separated, walked from west to east, walked a little foot, and did not see the mark left by Ye Bodhi, so he turned to the south, but found a small red card left outside an attic called "Drunken Fragrance Garden".

Yi Sheng was surprised, and secretly thought: "This place is the land of fireworks, how did Bodhi get here?" He knew that Ye Bodhi would never be so frivolous. Although Yi Sheng had doubts, he was afraid that someone would deliberately attract Bodhi here, so he stepped inside.

There were two or three women in flowers with heavy makeup and pink standing in the attic door, and when they saw Yi Sheng entering the pavilion, they were all holding Luo fans and smiling faces, but they were all gently opened by Yi Sheng. Seeing his indifferent expression, the women also walked away, and muttered secretly in their hearts: "Stinky man, drink flower wine and pretend to be a saint!" Yi Sheng didn't know where Ye Bodhi was, and he didn't want to search room by room, so as not to see some embarrassing scenes, so he found a secluded seat, sat quietly, and looked around.

But I saw a slightly older middle-aged woman coming out of the cabinet, with a smile on her face, and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday we had a new singer in the 'Drunken Fragrance Garden', called Ah Yue. This Ah Yue, who is talented and beautiful, has excellent piano and flute, and is a hundred times stronger than the 'cardamom Oiran' in the other courtyard, so let her play a song for the officials today. ”

The middle-aged woman's eyebrows fluttered when she spoke, which made everyone present fascinated. But I saw a woman in white slowly pacing out from the inside, holding a white jade flute in her arms. The woman bowed slightly to everyone and sat in the middle of the pavilion.

Everyone saw her willow eyebrows and red lips, beautiful eyes and jade face, she was really a generation of beauty, and there was a little melancholy in her eyes, which added a bit of charm. The middle-aged woman saw that everyone was staring at her, and said with a smile: "Drunken Niang, you can remind all the officials that Ah Yue is only temporarily living in the 'Drunken Fragrance Garden', but she is not selling her body." As soon as these words came out, some people immediately sighed and sighed, and the pavilion gradually became noisy.

Ah Yue ignored everyone, put the jade flute on her lips, and played it quietly. As soon as the song came out, the surroundings fell silent. Yi Sheng only felt that the sound of this flute was ethereal, lonely and tossing, as if he had fallen into a person at the end of the world and sang softly, faintly with a sense of déjà vu, and immediately closed his eyes and listened attentively.

But I heard the sound of a wine glass falling to the ground, breaking the gloomy flute song. But when I saw a man in a blue shirt get up suddenly, he shouted angrily: "My son came here to drink flower wine, not to listen to opera and music, this beauty is determined to eat today!"

The other two men at the same table also coaxed each other, which made the middle-aged woman slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Ah, Lei Gongzi, why are you in such a hurry today, isn't the tide painting upstairs still waiting for you, Ah Yue really can't pick up customers." ”

Lei Gongzi looked dissatisfied, took out a few silver tickets from his arms, scattered them on the ground, and said loudly: "If these three hundred taels are not enough, I will let my subordinates take them again, this young master will let this beauty accompany me if he says anything today, get out of the way for me!" The middle-aged woman looked very hesitant when she saw the silver ticket. The three men rushed up and bullied Ah Yue's side, so frightened that she hurriedly retreated, but she tripped on the wooden table under her feet and fell to the ground.

Although Yi Sheng couldn't bear it, he secretly thought that Fengyue was probably like this, and if he was strong, he would get into trouble, so he was silent and turned his head. He glanced sideways at Ah Yue, but when he saw that she was tied around her waist with a white jade vessel that looked like a flute and a flute, he couldn't help but let out a "groan" in his heart.

When the young man Lei saw that Ah Yue's face was shocked, he was very happy in his heart, and said with a drunken smile: "Don't be afraid, little lady, who in Jinling City doesn't know that my Lei family is rich and noble, if you become a young master, you don't have to perform here in the future, you just need to share the glory with the young master." He was about to pounce forward, but he felt that someone was gently on his shoulder, and his body suddenly couldn't move, as if he was pressed by a ghost.

Lei Gongzi turned his head and scolded angrily: "Which bastard who doesn't have long eyes, dares to spoil Young Master Lei's Yaxing?" I saw a red-robed man behind him with an indifferent expression, looking at himself, who is Yi Sheng? Lei Gongzi's face was full of alcohol, his eyes were misty, and he said: "Where did you come from, how dare you..."

Seeing this change, the middle-aged woman hurriedly exclaimed, "Ah, Lei Gongzi, are you okay?" she shouted, but she took the silver ticket underground into her arms. Lei Gongzi only felt that his body was cloudy for a while, and he fell to the ground in a blink of an eye, but he didn't feel pain, he only felt dizzy and almost wanted to vomit.

But seeing him staggering up, he was already unsteady on his feet, and said angrily to the middle-aged woman: "Drunken girl, where did this guy come from?" The drunken lady saw that Yi Sheng was very faced, but when she saw that he made an extraordinary move, she didn't dare to speak out to provoke anger, and hurriedly smiled: "Ah, this official is so familiar, look at the memory of the drunken lady, I don't know what the official is called, where does the family live?"

But I heard a young man upstairs shouting: "Brother Yi!" Yi Sheng raised his head and found Ye Bodhi and a scholar in Tsing Yi standing side by side, and he was overjoyed and replied: "Bodhi, you are really here." He saw that the scholar in Tsing Yi was looking at him, smiling, as if he was very interested in himself, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

He was thinking about it, but he felt a strong wind in front of him, and he saw a white-haired old man passing by, coming to the drunken lady and whispering a few words, and handing out a note from his arms. Then he walked to Lei Gongzi's side and whispered a few times in his ear.

Yi Sheng felt that although this old man was hunched over, looking like an old dragon clock, when he walked, his steps were steady, and there was no vanity at all, and his body faintly revealed a domineering atmosphere, which made people stunned. I saw that the drunken lady heard this, and she smiled when she smiled, as if she was very happy.

And that Lei Gongzi's face suddenly turned cold, as if he had woken up most of the wine, and threw a glance at the scholar upstairs, his expression was very frightened, and then he pushed and shoved with the other two, walked out, and disappeared between the "Drunken Fragrance Garden" in a blink of an eye.

Yi Sheng didn't know what the old man said to the two, but his attitude changed suddenly, and he faintly felt in his heart that his identity was extraordinary from the scholar in Tsing Yi upstairs. He saw Ah Yue slowly getting up behind him, turned around and asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking the girl?"

But I heard the drunk lady say on the side: "The official doesn't know, this Ah Yue has a disability and can't speak." Yi Sheng said: "No wonder I don't see her words, it turns out that she is also a hard-working person." He took out a jade piece of mutton fat white from his waist, which was exactly the same as Ah Yue's body. Yi Sheng asked Ah Yue, "I don't know where the jade in the girl's hand came from?"

Ah Yue saw the thing in Yi Sheng's hand, there seemed to be a strange color flowing in his eyes, smiled faintly, and gestured with his hand. Yi Sheng didn't know why, but Wen Zuiniang said: "Ah Yue said that this thing was left to her by her late father, and it turned out that Gongzi also had one, but in fact, she didn't know what this jade was." ”

Yi Shengfang wanted to ask again, but saw Ah Yue turn around suddenly, step down and walk towards the cabinet. The drunken lady smiled and said: "Ah Yue was slightly frightened today, and I hope the officials will forgive her, and the drunken lady also retired first." As soon as she turned around, she beckoned a few people to clean up the pavilion hall for a while, and it was a lively scene in the "Drunken Fragrance Garden" after a while.

But I heard the scholar in Tsing Yi upstairs calling: "This brother, why don't you come up and have a few drinks with you?" Yi Sheng saw Ye Bodhi and the scholar in Tsing Yi walking towards a small pavilion on the second floor, and stopped thinking about the woman, and walked upstairs. But he saw that the white-haired old man was looking at him, his expression was slightly different, and he couldn't help but secretly make calculations in his heart.

The three of them sat down in the "Luo Pavilion", only to hear the music of the guqin downstairs, but saw Ah Yue sitting in the center of the pavilion, caressing the strings, and his eyes seemed to be slightly distracted. Wu Feiyu toasted Yi Sheng and praised: "Brother Shicai shocked the Quartet as soon as he made a move, and his kung fu was really extraordinary." ”

Yi Sheng took a sip of sake and said lightly: "Let my brother Taijian smile, but the most extraordinary thing should be Your Excellency's 'the great soldier of the family, the soldier who surrenders without a fight'." ”

When Wu Feiyu heard this, he laughed and said, "What a 'soldier who surrenders without a fight'! Can Brother Tai guess what I asked Uncle Wu to say to them?"

Yi Sheng shook his head slowly, as if he was not interested. He saw Ye Bodhi sitting aside, not saying a word, and he didn't know what to think. Wu Feiyu saw Yi Sheng's expression and said, "Since Brother Tai has no intention of hearing about it, then I won't do anything to lose it." This Brother Ye and Brother Tai should know each other, right?"

Yi Sheng said: "Exactly." Earlier in the next day, when he had something important, he asked Bodhi to find an inn to rest for a while. But how did I know that Bodhi came here, thinking that he was ignorant of the world and accidentally bumped into it. ”

Wu Feiyu was stunned and said with a smile: "I see, I see." I don't want the three of us to have such a fate, how big this chaotic world is, to be able to meet here, when it comes to floating a lot!"

Yi Sheng saw that Wu Fei's words and demeanor were all driven by his heart, and he did not hide it, he was really bold, and the hostility in his heart couldn't help but disappear. He looked at Ye Bodhi as if he was absent-minded, and said to him, "Bodhi, do you have something on your mind?"

When Ye Bodhi heard this, his expression was slightly stunned, and he smiled reluctantly: "Brother Yi, Bodhi is fine." I wonder if Big Brother Yi can find the person he is looking for?"

Yi Sheng knew that he had something wrong in his heart, so he didn't continue to ask at the moment, and replied: "I've looked for most of Jinling, but I haven't heard any news, and after settling down today, if we can't find it tomorrow, let's go south." ”

Wu Feiyu heard that the two of them seemed to be looking for someone, so he hurriedly asked: "I have lived in Jinling for a few years, I don't know what the surname of the person Brother Yi is looking for, let's see if I can help him." ”

Seeing that his words were sincere, Yi Sheng thought that this matter was not about life and death, and even if he said it, he should not cause trouble, so he immediately said: "The person I am looking for below is a family with the surname 'Gongye', has Brother Wu heard the news of this clan?"
