Amidst the sound of "Yes", the boat started to move. In the evening, the heat subsided and the breeze blew on the water surface, which was very pleasant. The water vapor on the lake surface blew in one after another with some heat, carrying the fragrance of lotus leaves and lotus. It felt very strange and warm.

Wonderful. Fang Zian is in a good mood and is full of expectations for tonight's activities in Wanchun Garden.

Soon after, the boat arrived at the side of the tall ship in Wanchun Garden. Someone asked loudly on the deck: "Who is this distinguished guest?"

Fang Zian waved his hand and said: "Zi'an down below."

"Fang Zian?" The people on the boat seemed to be in a daze, but soon someone said: "That's the distinguished guest invited by Miss Qin. Why don't you please come on board?"

The gangplank was slanted onto the boat, and Fang Zian followed the gangplank onto the stern deck. Someone came forward to collect the invitation and check that it was correct, then led Fang Zian to the brightly lit cabin. Two women stood at the door of the cabin to greet the guests.

When he saw Fang Zi, An Lianju saluted, opened the bead curtain and said in unison: "Please!"

Fang Zian nodded in return and walked inside. The moment he walked around the flower and bird screen inside the door, a loud noise came, and at the same time a bright light shone in front of his eyes. There were seven or eight Eight Immortals tables in the huge ship hall, with a total of fifty or sixty people.

People are sitting on chairs chatting and laughing. Each of these people is dressed luxuriously, with brand new clothes. The gold and silver threads on the clothes reflect the light, the gold rings on their hands shine under the light, and the jade stones on their hats also shine.

It shone brightly as he looked at it. Some of these people were old, some were still young, some were handsome, and some were fat and big-eared. In short, these people were all prominent figures in Lin'an City, as well as wealthy and wealthy people.

The son of an aristocratic family.

"Master Fang Zian is here!" Someone behind him shouted loudly without any warning, and even Fang Zian was startled by this voice.

All the guests who were chatting and joking turned around and looked at the hall door. All eyes were focused on Fang Zian. Fang Zian forced himself to keep smiling and walked along the passage between the Eight Immortals tables.

Went in.

There were chuckles from the crowd, and some people pointed at Fang Zian's clothes. Fang Zian was still wearing the same washed white shirt, with a square scarf on his head, and a pair of ordinary Melaleuca pants at his feet.

After all, this outfit looks like a mess.

"Who is this person? Fang Zian? Has anyone heard of this person?"

"I don't know, I don't know him. I have seen all the famous people in Lin'an Mansion, but I have never seen this person."

"I haven't seen him either. He looks so shabby. Why did Wanchun Garden invite such a person here? Could it be that he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger? He was dressed like this on purpose?"

"Why are you pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Look at his eyes twinkling. You can see that he has never seen much of the world. He doesn't know where to put his hands and feet when he walks. He looks like he is just a poor man. If Wanchun Garden wants to invite him, you and I can take care of it."

No. Let’s just ignore him.”

The crowd was whispering to each other in low voices, but Fang Zian heard it but didn't care. He was mentally prepared before coming, knowing that he would be out of place with these people. Fang Zian had no intention of blending in, otherwise there would be no need to wear old clothes.

A person came from the front and said loudly: "Fang Zian, oops, you are here. You are quite impressive. You are the last to come. Hurry up and take a seat. Hurry up and take a seat."

That person was Li Quanzhong, the manager of Wanchun Garden. Fang Zian quickly raised his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I live too far away, so I came here late."

Li Quanzhong said loudly:

"Yes, I forgot that you live in that damn place called Sanyuanfang. It's so remote and far away. You have to travel through the entire Lin'an City to come here."

Li Quanzhong obviously spoke loudly on purpose in order to be heard by everyone. Sanyuanfang is a slum area known to everyone in Lin'an Prefecture, and the people living there are poor people. Lin'an is already a philistine place.

There is a label in the minds of the people of the government. People who live in Sanyuanfang must be of low status. If they live in places like Baoyoufang, Taipingfang, Qinghefang, they must be high-ranking officials. Because those places are the most prosperous places.

How can ordinary people live in it?

Everyone in the mountain listened clearly. When they heard that Fang Zian was from Sanyuanfang, most of them laughed. Two middle-aged men wearing satin gowns sitting nearby started chatting without restraint.

"Sanyuanfang, this man said he lived in Sanyuanfang, hahaha, can people live in that poor place? Mr. Li, let me tell you, last month I had something to go to Genshanmenwai Pier and passed by Sanyuanfang.

It was like a pigsty. There was a stink in the air, and I almost vomited. I left in a hurry. Hey, there is such a place in Lin'an Prefecture, a prosperous and prosperous capital city.

The imperial court didn’t even think of a solution.”

"Master Zhu, you are a well-fed man but you don't know a hungry man is hungry. How can the court take care of so many poor people? How can the court take care of them? Where will the money come from to take care of those people? Isn't it possible to build houses and repair buildings for them? Even if they are repaired, what will happen?

What? The poor devils will still be miserable. Tell me, don't worry about it, build a wall to surround it, out of sight, out of mind."

Fang Zian heard this and frowned.

Li Quanzhong felt proud, and for some reason, since he went to Sanyuanfang to meet Fang Zian that day, Li Quanzhong felt uncomfortable with Fang Zian. Maybe it was because Fang Zian gave him some color that day and scolded him several times.

Sentence. Or maybe it's because Fang Zian lost face after being reprimanded by Qin Xiqing. In short, he just doesn't like looking at Fang Zian. Being able to make this guy humiliated in public makes his heart feel as comfortable as drinking ice water on a June day.

"Hey, Mr. Fang, why are you here dressed like this? You don't even know what the occasion is? Didn't I order someone to bring you an outfit? Why don't you wear it? Dressed like this, I don't know.

They thought that I, Wanchun Garden, had invited some poor people from the street to come here, it’s really terrible.” Li Quanzhong still refused to give up, and started to loudly criticize Fang Zian’s dress.

No matter how well-mannered Fang Zian is, he can't help it. But on today's occasion, Fang Zian doesn't want to cause trouble. But a few words of counterattack are unavoidable.

"Clothes are just something to protect the body from the cold. It's good to be well-dressed and clean. Why dress so well? What's the use of being well-dressed? Don't you hear the saying 'gold and jade are ruined on the outside'? No matter how well-dressed,

If you don’t have poetry, writing, talent or learning, you’re just a stinker.” Fang Zian said with a smile.

"Oh, that's such a loud tone. Are you scolding us that we are all good on the outside and ruined on the outside? This poor talker is unforgiving." Someone heard the implication of Fang Zian's words and shouted loudly.

"Young Master, I'm not talking about you. If you jump out and take the seat yourself, I can't stop you. I'm just discussing the matter." Fang Zian cupped his hands and said.

Before the man could scold him angrily, someone next to him whispered: "Mr. Ma, aren't you trying to get in on your own? Besides, you won't lose your identity by arguing with such a person.

"

Hearing this, Mr. Ma sat down angrily and shut up.

Li Quanzhong stared at Fang Zian and whispered: "Fang Zian, there are all distinguished guests here today. Don't blame me for not reminding you that you can't afford to offend everyone here. You'd better stay quiet and obedient, and don't cause trouble.

If you get into trouble, you have to deal with it yourself."

Fang Zian smiled and leaned into his ear and said: "Manager Li, it's you who caused the trouble, do you think I don't know? I'll give you a piece of advice, today is Miss Qin's party. If you don't do your job well, you will have to do it."

If you find fault with me, your Miss Qin will be the one scolding you in the end."

Li Quanzhong sneered, then put on a smile and said loudly: "Master Fang, please take a seat, the music party will begin soon."

Fang Zian walked towards an empty seat next to him. Li Quanzhong reached out to stop him, pointed to the corner and said: "Master Fang, your seat is over there, go and sit down."

Fang Zian glanced at the seat. It was the most remote seat, a table very close to the serving servants and maids. There was no one at the table. It was obviously not the main seat, but a reserved seat. Li Quanzhong deliberately did this.

, to show humiliation.

The crowd burst into laughter again. Fang Zian sneered, and without saying anything, he walked over and sat down. Everyone laughed for a while, then no longer showed any interest in Fang Zian, and started joking and chatting with each other again.

After a while, a young girl came down from the stairs in front of her. She had her hair combed in her hair and was pretty and cute. Fang Zian recognized the girl. She was Xiaoling, the maid next to Qin Xiqing. She did not expect her appearance to be so harmless, but Fang Zian saw it with his own eyes.

Until she was carrying a strong man to carry him out of the noodle shop.

"Manager Li, the lady wants me to ask if all the guests are here? It's about to start." Xiao Ling, the maid, asked crisply.

Li Quanzhong nodded and said: "Please report back to Miss Qin, all forty-three guests have arrived. We can start."

Xiaoling nodded and turned to go upstairs. Suddenly she turned back and asked in a low voice: "Has that Fang Zian arrived? The girl has asked several times."

Li Quanzhong was stunned and said: "It's here, it's here, we've arranged to sit down, don't worry."

Xiao Ling then quickly went upstairs. Li Quanzhong turned around and clapped his hands a few times and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, the music party will begin soon. Miss Qin is about to come down. Please be quiet for a moment and let us hold our breath."

treat."

After hearing this, everyone in the seats stopped talking and laughing, sat upright, and looked at the stairs. Seeing this, Fang Zian thought to himself: Sure enough, the reputation is well worth it. These people here are either rich or noble, but they treat Qin Xiqing so well.

Such importance shows that Qin Xiqing holds a very important position in their hearts. If Qin Xiqing was just a prostitute, she would not be like this. However, Qin Xiqing is also a mystery.

After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard on the stairs, and a corner of the lake green skirt was revealed at the corner. Everyone held their breath and stared at it without blinking, only to see Qin Xiqing's figure walking down the stairs and walking in.

In the boat hall.

Qin Xiqing was wearing a lake-green long skirt and a silver embroidered silk scarf today. Her temples were pulled high, and a gold hairpin was inserted diagonally in her hair. A blue ribbon was tied around her slender waist, and a gold hairpin hung on it.

A small golden jade pendant. The makeup on her face is not heavy. She only lightly brushes her eyebrows and applies some powder. Her whole outfit is elegant and pure, giving people a sense of elegance and beauty. How can such a woman have the slightest air of prostitution?
