Jiangzhou Mansion on Jiannan Road is a very unique existence among the many states and cities of the Great Shang Dynasty. It is adjacent to the Southwest Road in the barbarian land. The folk customs are rough and bold, but they are also graceful in the rough and bold. The whole city is a mixture of fish and dragons, with the atmosphere of rivers and lakes.

It has an earthy smell and a bookish smell.

After bidding farewell to Miss Wanyu from Hongxiuge Pavilion in Tianchang Mansion, scholar Jin Yunzhang bought a boat and traveled westward to join his uncle Jin Dazhong, who was the governor of Jiangzhou. Jin Dazhong, the governor of Jiangzhou at that time, had been in officialdom for half his life and had no children, so he

I put all my thoughts on continuing the prosperity of the Jin family on my nephew Jin Yunzhang.

Jin Yunzhang participated in several hometown examinations in Jiangnan Road, where there are many talents, but failed to pass. Therefore, Jin Dazhong spent 200 taels of silver to donate to him as a supervisor, preparing to take the provincial examination in Jiannan Road next year. For a person from Jiangnan Road

It is obviously much easier for the scholars who come here to take the provincial examination in Jiannan Road.

After leaving his hometown, Jin Xiucai quickly fell in love with Jiangzhou City. Like Tianchang Mansion, Jiangzhou City is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The mountain outside the city is called Yuluan Mountain, and the water passing through the city is called "Yuluan Mountain".

Yuluan River has beautiful mountains and clear waters and rich products. Although it is not as grand and prosperous as Tianchang Mansion, it is by no means a remote place.

Since Jin Yunzhang arrived at his uncle Jin Dazhong's place, he spent most of every day studying in the study in the side courtyard of the Yamen Houtang. When he had free time, he would go out to play with his cousin Liu Jinsheng. Liu Jinsheng was the son of Jin Yunzhang's aunt, and he came to be a governor of Jiangzhou.

My uncle is also an extraordinary talent. He spends most of his time hanging out in the beauty industry and loves brothels the most.

Before Jin Yunzhang came, Liu Jinsheng had been working in the state government for more than three years. He had a good relationship with the clerks in the execution room. He occasionally went out to fight against the big guys in the city, and spent most of the money he earned.

On the body of the brothel oiran,

Later, the affairs of Liu Jinsheng were somehow found out by Governor Jin. Governor Jin was furious and beat his incompetent nephew twenty times, and he was not allowed to interact with the scribes in the execution room.

Jin Yunzhang didn't know this when he first came here. One day he went out for a stroll with Liu Jinsheng and happened to walk to Beicheng Street. A woman with heavy makeup and posing next to the brothel came over. The strong fragrance on the woman's body was fragrant. She held the handkerchief and shook it seductively.

He smiled and asked, "Hey, uncle, do you need any special services?"

Liu Jinsheng's expression at that time was like that of a tiger that had been hungry for three days and saw a big fat sheep. He smiled lustfully and hugged the girl's shoulders, "Ah, I need it, I need it!" and then he and the girl talked.

They walked together, looking back at Jin Yunzhang as they walked, "Let's go, brothers, let's have fun together!"

Jin Yunzhang shook his head in fear. The scent of that woman was too strong, strong enough to vomit out all the stray dogs on the street. When he was in Tianchang Mansion, Jin Yunzhang would occasionally go to a brothel to drink flower wine with his classmates and friends.

, but he really doesn’t like such a woman, let alone touch her. He really can’t understand his eldest cousin’s taste.

The next morning, Jin Yunzhang was reading in the study, and Liu Jinsheng had just come back satisfied. Jin Yunzhang asked Liu Jinsheng cautiously, "Cousin, can you like this kind of woman who solicits customers on the street? Sister-in-law, she doesn't care about you either?"

Liu Jinsheng looked helpless, "I can't help it, my brother, I used to look down on this kind of woman, but my uncle didn't let me interact with the scribes in the execution room, nor let me go out to play in the autumn breeze. Last year, because of

For this incident, I suffered twenty blows and lay in bed for more than two months before I recovered from my injuries. How could I have the money to visit a brothel? I had to deal with this kind of woman.

"

Jin Yunzhang smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, if you don't have a wife, I can understand if you go out and solve your physical problems. But the eldest sister-in-law at home is as beautiful as a flower. Isn't it a hundred times better than the street girl you found yesterday?

I really don’t know what you think!”

Liu Jinsheng patted Jin Yunzhang on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother, you don't understand this. Brother, I just like this. As the saying goes, domestic flowers don't have the fragrance of wild flowers. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a prostitute...

…”

Jin Yunzhang quickly interrupted Liu Jinsheng, "Okay, okay, cousin, I'm really convinced by you! I think your uncle hit you too lightly. You shouldn't have hit you twenty times, but forty times."

!”

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Liu Jinsheng suggested that they go out for a meal. The two of them walked out of the back door of the government office and came to the street. They were about to find a place to eat when they saw a scholar wearing a square scarf walking towards them. He met Liu Jinsheng.

, hurriedly came over to say hello, "Oh, isn't this Brother Liu? I haven't seen you for a while, what are you busy with? Who is this?"

Liu Jinsheng laughed and raised his hand, "Brother Sun, I have indeed not seen you for several months! This is my cousin Jin Yunzhang, who is a student of the Imperial College. He comes to my uncle to study and prepares to take the Jiannan Road Township Examination next year.

Cousin, this is Brother Sun Boling. He is a scholar and famous scholar in Jiangzhou. He compiled a "Collection of Sun Tzu" to teach people how to be a grandson, and how to pretend to be a grandson if they are not grandsons.

"

Sun Boling laughed loudly and pointed at Liu Jinsheng with his hand, "Brother Liu, he always tries to hurt me every time we meet! We were drinking together in a restaurant, and the prefect came to the restaurant privately incognito. He happened to be at the restaurant as well. The prefect is your uncle. You

Of course I'm not afraid, I must be panicking, what can I do if I don't pretend to be a grandson?"

Jin Yunzhang also laughed, and he and Sun Boling bowed to each other. Liu Jinsheng said that he was going out for dinner and invited Sun Boling to accompany him. Sun Boling smiled and said: "This is the first time I meet Brother Jin. I should treat you to this meal. Yuluan outside the city

There is a painting boat on the riverside. Wouldn't it be nice for us to listen to the ditty on the painting boat, chat while drinking, and enjoy the scenery along the river?"

Liu Jinsheng raised his thumb and praised: "Wonderful! It's really wonderful! As long as there is a beautiful little lady singing, it must be a wonderful place! Brother Sun is indeed a wonderful person, and he understands my heart best!"

Sun Boling smiled and scolded: "You are too shameless. Today I am here to help Brother Jin clean up the dust. You are just a drinker. Even if there is a wonderful person there, you can only watch from the side. As promised, just

You can see but not touch!”

The three of them hired a carriage, left the city and walked eastward for two miles. They found a boat on the Yuluan River. They rented the boat, ordered wine and food, and asked the boss to find a boat in a brothel on the riverside.

Qing Guanren.

The Qinghuan got on the painting boat, holding a red jade plate in his hand, and sang babblingly. Liu Jinsheng looked at the Qinghuan with white teeth and red lips, and his eyes almost fell out. Jin Yunzhang really felt for his cousin.

Shameful.

After listening to the song for a while, Jin Yunzhang suddenly thought of Miss Wanyu who was far away in Tianchang Mansion. She couldn't help but feel sad. She stood up and went to the window of the painting boat. She looked at the river view with her hands behind her hands. She saw that the mountains in the distance were like dark blue and the water near was filled with smoke.

The fishing boats on the river were dotted with picturesque scenery, and I couldn't help but think of the scene when Wanyu saw each other off on the Huanzhu River. I couldn't help but shed a few tears of lovesickness.

Jin Yunzhang was afraid that Liu Jinsheng and Sun Boling would see and laugh at him, so he quietly wiped away his tears with his sleeves. At this moment, he saw a woman wearing an orange coat not far from the river, taking off her shoes and placing them on the bank, and suddenly jumped into the river. Jin Yunzhang was startled, "Oh! Someone committed suicide by throwing himself into the river!"

Liu Jinsheng and Sun Boling also came to watch the fun. They saw that the woman who threw herself into the river was about thirty feet away. Jin Yunzhang panicked and really wanted to jump into the river to save people, but he couldn't swim and was anxious on the boat. It was going around and around. The boatman and a few guys stood on the bow of the boat and looked at it. They shook their heads and sighed: "What a pity. Judging from the color of the clothes, it seems that I am not too old!"

Jin Yunzhang turned around and saw the boatman. He suddenly remembered that the boatman knew how to swim. He felt as if he had found a savior. He kept shouting, "Boatman! Boatman! Are you good at water? Go down and save people!"

The boatman and several crew members looked embarrassed, "My husband, this is the Yuluan River! The water is deep. It's difficult to save people if you go down there. If you don't, you may drown yourself! It's not worth it for someone who threw himself into the river!" "

Jin Yunzhang understood instantly, "Boatman, man, whoever of you goes down to rescue the master, I will give you two taels of silver as a gift!"

When a man in a green short coat heard that he would be given two taels of silver to save someone, his eyes lit up and he nodded and said: "Okay, since this husband is willing to pay to save someone, then I, Wang Er, will go into the water to save someone." If we are not rescued or if the person drowns, please don't blame me."

Jin Yunzhang was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head: "Thank you so much, Brother Wang. Please save this person quickly. Even if this person is gone, I will still give you the money!"

The boatman directed a few men to swing the boat in the direction of the woman. Wang Er was so happy that he took off his shoes on the bow of the boat and jumped into the water. It seemed that the water quality was not bad. The boat was not slow, it was very fast. He leaned over. At this time, Wang Er had swam to the woman's side, grabbed the belt behind the woman's waist, and dragged her to the side of the boat. He saw that the woman had drowned and was unconscious, and her hands were still scratching.

Everyone on the boat hurriedly joined hands and rescued the woman who had drowned in the river. They gently controlled the water and quickly stopped the boat near the shore. After a while, the woman vomited some water and then she regained consciousness. Everyone looked carefully. This woman who threw herself into the river is really pretty!

The beautiful woman who threw herself into the river opened her eyes, and saw a young scholar with fine features squatting next to her, looking at her with concern. Seeing her eyes open, she said happily: "Oh, okay, I'm alive!" "

The young woman who threw herself into the river looked at the scholar squatting next to her, closed her eyes again, and sighed, "Hey, you, what are you doing to save me? Just let me die! It's over!"

When a man standing next to him heard what the woman said, he was very angry. He rolled up his arms and sleeves and said, "Who is this? They came to save you, and you still say this! My husband, you shouldn't do this." Hua Yinzi rescued her, but let me see, I might as well throw her into the water now and make her happy!"

Jin Yunzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly stopped the man, squatted next to the woman, and said softly: "Little lady, ants are greedy for life, let alone humans. If you have any grievances or difficulties, you might as well tell me. I'll see if I can Help!"

The woman reluctantly sat up and shook her head, "My husband, you are a good person, but you have nothing to do with the affairs of the Jianghu. When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain! Those Jianghu people who kill people with knives and guns without blinking an eye are not your scholar. My husband can take care of it, so you should just let me die!"

Jin Yunzhang said angrily: "Little lady, just say it, don't be afraid, no matter whether he is a Jianghu person or not, our big business country has its own laws! In broad daylight and the world is bright, who dares to kill people and set fire? You say it, you say it, I will make the decision for you!

"

The woman cried and said: "This husband is from far away? You don't understand. There is a sect in this city called Shen Dao Sect. They are rampant in Jiangzhou. Even the government does not dare to offend them easily.

How could you, a scholar and husband, have offended them?"

Jin Yunzhang looked confused, "What is the Divine Sword Sect? Is it a martial arts sect?"

Liu Jinsheng behind him smiled and said: "Little lady, tell me, what is it? I also have two acquaintances in the Shen Dao Sect. As long as it is not a big deal, I can help you settle it!"

The woman looked at Liu Jinsheng and then said: "My name is Dou Yulian, and I live in Wujia Village in the east of the city. My husband unfortunately passed away the year before last, and I only have an eight-year-old child at my knees. There is an elder from the Shen Dao Sect, named Qi Changfeng. One day

When he saw my beauty on the road, he wanted to take me back to be my concubine. He already sent the bride price to my parents-in-law, but I refused to obey and was afraid of harming my parents-in-law and children, so I had no choice but to commit suicide by drowning!"

Jin Yunzhang said in horror: "You already have children, how dare Qi Changfeng rob a civilian woman? Come on, let's go to the state government to file a complaint now!"

The woman shook her head and said: "It won't work. Let alone sue the state government, you can just sue the Jiannan Road Jinglue Envoy Yamen. The Shen Dao Sect is also capable of settling the matter."

Behind him, Liu Jinsheng quietly tugged at Jin Yunzhang's clothes, "Cousin, I think you should leave this matter alone. That Qi Changfeng is an elder of the Shen Dao Sect. He is highly skilled in martial arts and is a third-level master. He is lustful and murderous. I advise you.

It’s better not to worry about it, I really can’t control it, he has a good relationship with Jiangzhou Biejia and others, we can’t afford to cause this trouble!”

Jin Yunzhang stood up angrily, "As a scholar, I should take care of the injustices in the world! I just walk around when I see injustices, why should I read the books of sages? Get up, little lady, and I will take you to the state government to file a complaint.
