"The weeping willows are constantly catching the weeds, and the wild goose-toothed red bridge is like a painting; it is also a pot that sells gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake."
There are thirty-six West Lakes in the world, but the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou is unique among other lakes with its graceful and graceful grace. It has attracted many literati and elegant guests to linger over it. Some people even refer to "Riding a crane down to Yangzhou with a hundred thousand guan on his waist" as a famous poem.
A life of joy.
The courtyard was the most lively, with several banquet tables set up in the hall, where the big salt merchant invited his colleagues to have a drink. There was also a banquet in a banquet upstairs in the courtyard, but there were not many dishes on the table.
Four hot drinks, plus a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus brew. Sitting at the table was a young man who looked like only fifteen or sixteen years old. He had a smile on his pretty face and looked very kind and handsome. He was wearing a sapphire blue robe and a hat on his head.
He wears a small melon-skin hat and looks like a rich man.
This rich young man spoke with a Beijing accent and did not bring any entourage. He came every time for five days in a row when it was getting dark. He wanted to have a banquet, wine and food, and ordered the girl Lan Xiang, who was the best at playing the piano, to accompany him, but he did not do anything.
Nephrite Wenxiang's affair was just to politely invite her to talk about the piano and sing. When she became interested, she would also play with the strings a few times and play a song. She was a person who knew the music very well.
Fortunately, this young master was very generous. He only stayed for two or three hours at a time, but left enough reward money when he left. This made several other girls envious of Lan Xiang for meeting such an elegant young man, and even encouraged her to seize the opportunity.
Imitate the beautiful story of Dong Xiaowan who ventured to explore new territories.
This young master from a wealthy family was Liu Meng. He said that when they arrived in Yangzhou, their senior brother bought a bunch of incense and candles with paper money. They paid homage to their master and other elders of the sect at the south gate of Yangzhou City at night, and then went around to look for where the corpses were buried.
At: B, we were playing in the courtyard and waiting for the rabbit.
Mingyufang is a famous gold-selling cave, and every day he spends twenty taels of silver that he can't get back. Liu Meng had no choice but to become a hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and got two to three hundred taels of silver.
Adhering to Xu Xin's age, she was holding a pot in her hand to add wine to this gentle young man, while shyly peeking at the other man's attractive face with a blush on her face.
Just at this time, there was a noise in Mingyu Square, with loud voices shouting everywhere, as if they were looking for an enemy, so that everyone should not panic. After shouting, someone came and knocked on the door of Li Chun Courtyard, causing the people upstairs to
There was chaos downstairs.
Hearing all this noise and confusion, the young master who had been sitting there with his chin resting on his back suddenly became energetic. He stretched out his hand and patted the table, exclaiming happily: "After waiting for several days, my good friend is finally here!"
Opening the door slightly, I saw a group of big men with white cloth headbands and green belts around their waists, dressed like salt owl, holding shining steel knives in their hands, rushing in fiercely, shouting that they wanted to find Jia Laoliu from Tiandihui.
It turns out that Jia Laoliu drank too much in the tavern and satirized the Yangzhou smuggler of salt, who did not dare to kill officials and rebel, but only smuggled and evaded taxes, and did some courageous small business. But someone heard it, so this group of Qing Gang members
Yan Xiao was not convinced and came to Jia Laoliu to ask for an explanation.
The leader, an old man, shouted loudly several times, but when no one came out to answer, his subordinates began to curse themselves, "What a good guy from the Tiandihui, how did you become such a coward?" "Mama, are you the Tiandihui or the Tiandihui?"
Shrinking your head?"
Liu Meng watched this scene quietly from the crack in the door, knowing that according to the plot in the book, Mao Shiba would jump out to fight against the opponent because he insulted the Tiandihui, and this led to Wei Xiaobao's ghostly appearance.
As words making fun of Yan Xiao came from a room in the east chamber, several big men thought it was Jia Laoliu inside, and immediately rushed in with knives, but were thrown out one by one. They screamed in pain for a while, and they were helpless.
People dare to rush in.
A prostitute in her thirties was talking too much and laughing. She was knocked to the ground by several mouths of Yan Xiao, with snot and tears pouring out of her nose. A boy of thirteen or fourteen who seemed to be her son rushed out, shouting and swearing.
The viciousness made the salt owl so angry that he chased the young man and started fighting, making the scene extremely chaotic.
This young man was Sir Wei Xiaobao. He was thin and small now, with a strange face. He was pressed hard by the salt owl, and he ducked his head and got into the room where a fierce battle was taking place.
Next, it’s time for me to appear.
Liu Meng turned around and returned to the table, poured the remaining half of the pot of sweet-scented osmanthus brew into his mouth, then picked up the long sword wrapped in black cloth beside the table, smiled at the panicked Lan Xiang, and said: "These few days
Thanks to the girl for accompanying me, I lived a very happy life. I would like to ask the girl to accept some money. We will see you later."
He took out a one-hundred-tael banknote, put it on the table, and picked up half a roast chicken. Liu Meng went out and went downstairs. He walked through the chaotic crowd and went out to the yard first. He looked around at the terrain.
He found a stone at the exit of Mingyu Square and sat down, holding a long sword across his arms, holding a roast chicken in one hand, tearing off a chicken leg, and slowly started to chew on it. There was movement in the streets of the courtyard.
First, a group of salt lords, big men, holding steel knives upside down, carried a few injured people and left in a hurry. After a while, a donkey cart came over, but it was heading west in the middle of the night, which seemed extremely strange. And after the donkey cart, there was another
Two salt owl men, carrying steel knives in their hands, followed furtively, not knowing what their intentions were.
Liu Meng, who was sitting on the roadside, didn't even raise his head and just continued to eat the roast chicken. The people on the donkey cart and the Yan Xiao who were following them just looked at them and ignored them, thinking they were a drunkard sitting there.
When the donkey cart ahead was out of sight, Liu Meng stood up, threw away the extremely clean chicken stand, picked up the cloth bag wrapped with the long sword, spread his legs and chased after him, gathering his inner strength under his feet.
From time to time, he would use his eight-step movement to catch cicadas and leap forward quickly.
Naturally, those sitting in the donkey cart were Mao Shiba and Wei Xiaobao, who were both seriously injured. Yan Xiao, who was following behind, wanted to follow these two people and wait for daybreak to call in the best men to surround them. But he wanted to appear at this moment and do what he wanted to do.
Get rid of the two following salt owl and sell favors to Mao Shiba.
This way of making friends is the best way that Liu Meng came up with after careful consideration. Both Mao Shiba and Wei Xiaobao are rough people in the market. They most admire passion and loyalty, and pay attention to being forthright and heroic, so they should pay a little attention and go with what they like.
Not difficult.
You must know that from the moment he entered the world of "The Deer and the Cauldron", Liu Meng would think about how to complete the task in his free time and how to get close to Wei Xiaobao to gain his trust. He thought about some plots in the book several times before finally choosing to appear at this time.
, striving to get acquainted with them before they arrive in the capital.
