Lin Fu returned to the room and used a hairpin to pick out the wick of the large fire to make the room brighter. Snow was still falling outside, and there was a layer of snow in the courtyard, which was blown by the wind and rustled on the window paper.
The sound.
Lin Fu took out a piece of cut paper, put a pen and ink on the paper and wrote the five characters "East China Sea Fox Tan Zong". Liu Yue'er watched Lin Fu go back to the room and bring tea to serve her, she tilted her head and looked
Looking at the five words Lin Fu wrote on the paper, he asked, "Who is this?"
"This is a very powerful pirate in the East China Sea. He is not famous yet..." Lin Fu said to Liu Yuer with a smile, "Maybe he will be very famous in the future."
"Then he must be very smart." Liu Yue'er said with a smile, the light smile hanging on the corners of her mouth, which made her look playful and beautiful under the lamp. She was so smart that she knew Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu, Wu
Qi Du was not an ordinary person, and he thought to himself that maybe this East China Sea Fox was also Lin Fu's friend.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that you wanted to be a vixen. I heard someone called me East China Sea Fox and I thought it was smart..." Lin Fu laughed.
Liu Yue'er's face turned crimson, and she felt a sense of shame in her heart. The so-called vixen's words were just nonsense from the past few days. Unexpectedly, Lin Fu remembered it in her heart and did not rush away like before. She also saw that Lin Fu had something to say.
The purpose of chatting with her, besides, she also wanted to talk to Lin Fu more, so she stood there and said with a smile: "Young Master is making fun of Yue'er. This play says that foxes are very smart creatures..."
"This fox, he would rather die than change his stubborn temper. He really can't be considered smart..." Lin Fu laughed at himself. He had been in danger every step of the way in his two lives. After all, he still felt unwilling to do so. He asked Liu Yue again
Son, "You can also see that there is danger hidden in this house. Are you afraid?"
"Maybe Yue'er is also a stupid fox, and she only feels at ease in this house." Liu Yue'er bravely said, her parents, brother and sister-in-law could get three or two months of silver from Liang Zuoren every month, but
She left Shiliang County without any concern for her feelings. At first, she came with Lin Fu and was wary. But now her guard gradually opened up, and she really felt that Lin Fu was different from other men in the world.
Lin Fu raised his head and looked at Liu Yue'er's clear and shining eyes under the lamp, and her long and curved eyelashes that cast shadows on her eyelids. He felt that she was really charming and a truly seductive vixen. He put the picture on the case
He picked up the paper with writing on it, slowly tore it into pieces, and threw it into the small wicker basket next to it that was used as a wastebasket. Then he said to Liu Yue'er: "I am also a stupid fox. You can safely treat this place as a fox den from now on."
Bar."
Liu Yue'er was thoughtful. Knowing what Lin Fu said, she no longer had to worry about being sent to the Gu family. Although she didn't know how Lin Fu could be this East China Sea Fox Tan Zong, she thought that Lin Fu would tell this most secret thing to her.
When she heard this, she no longer regarded her as an outsider. She smiled sweetly and stood there looking at Lin Fu's handsome face. Lin Fu looked over and her eyes averted again. She stood quietly for a while and then whispered.
He said: "Master, don't be too late to read. Yue'er has gone back to her room first. If you need anything, please call me."
"You go and have a rest early, I have to read for a while..." Lin Fu said, watching Liu Yue'er walk out of his room, he remembered Qin Chengzu's words about establishing a name on Changshan Island in the name of Donghai Fox Tan Zong.
It was Fu Qinghe's suggestion. He sighed softly. This burden was really not light.
*********************
The next day, Lin Fu took Qin Chengzu to Baiyuan to visit Su Mei openly.
Baiyuan is a private apartment provided by the feudal lord for Su Mei to live in Jiangning. It does not mean that Su Mei will not meet guests in Baiyuan. It just means that Su Mei can meet guests in Baiyuan according to his own wishes. In addition to the people he usually gets to know.
Scholars and celebrities would post messages and come to visit her, and Jiang Ning's sisters, who were usually close friends, would often visit each other.
Although it was just a few steps away from the street, Lin Fu and Qin Chengzu came to Baiyuan, and they asked Zhao Hu to hitch a carriage, and Zhou Pu and Wu Qi came over on horseback as their retinue.
It had snowed all night, and Lin Fu and the others came out a little late. The snow on the street had been trampled into obscurity by pedestrians, but the eaves, walls, sparse branches, and door lintels were all covered in white snow.
When I arrived at Baiyuan, another woman who was famous in Jiangning for her talent and beauty was also in Baiyuan. That was Chen Qingqing, the owner of Jingzhaiyuan who was as famous as Su Mei in Jiangning.
"Miss Chen from Jingzhaiyuan is here too. It's no coincidence that Mr. Lin came here. Why don't you sit down and wait for a while?" Song Daopo who spoke was the one who went to the feudal mansion with Su Mei that night, and met Fan Zhimei, the young master of the feudal family.
The servant who chewed Lin Fu's tongue was the housekeeper sent by the feudal family to Baiyuan. Even Xiao Man could only go to Su Mei and mutter a few words after being scolded by her. Naturally, she was dissatisfied with Lin Fu's visit.
To the extreme, but she saw with her own eyes that Lin Fuhun did not take his young master, Fan Zhimei, seriously, and even threatened the owner of the feudal building, Fan Ding, to cut out his tongue to apologize. Even though she was full of resentment, she did not have the courage to express it in person.
, now using Chen Qingqing as a shield, trying to drive Lin Fu back.
"Then please go and report to Daopo Song. If Miss Su finds it inconvenient, Lin Fu should leave." Lin Fu stood in front of the door and said calmly. After all, Daopo Song did not dare to look at Lin Fu's face.
, and went in to report.
Lin Fu never missed this place after arriving in Jiangning. He had also heard of the name of Chen Qingqing, the owner of Jingzhai Garden. Like Su Mei, he was also a famous actor in the music book. He was good at dancing and Xiubai Tower was dedicated to her.
A lotus shed was set up in the south patio of the building. There was a lotus platform made of silver in the shed, with a diameter of five inches. Most people would worry about falling when they stood on the anemone platform, but Chen Qingqing only danced in public on this lotus platform.
When it comes to fame, Chen Qingqing is probably even more famous than Su Mei.
There are some women in Le Ji who are clean and self-sufficient, such as Su Mei. Su Mei has a good acquaintance with Jiangning celebrities, but she has always had a good reputation; but after all, the women in Le Ji are a type of people who are despised by the world.
After all, there are only a few Chinese who have a strong character and are self-reliant. Finding a powerful person to rely on is what they most often do. When Chen Qingqing was seventeen, she was redeemed as a concubine from Xiubailou by He Yuejing, the then Jiangning garrison general.
, He Yuejing built the Jingzhai Garden in Jiangning to accommodate Chen Qingqing, and Chen Qingqing called herself the master of the Jingzhai Garden from then on. He Yuejing was transferred to Jibei as the general of the Jingbei auxiliary country, and died in the battle of Chentangyi last spring.
Naturally, his wife would not allow a girl from Le family to stay in the He family, so she kicked Chen Qingqing out of Jingzhaiyuan last year. After Chen Qingqing was kicked out, she could not find any other support for a while, so she had to return to Xiubailou to naturalize and get money.
I bought a house on Nanxunmen Street and still named it Jingzhaiyuan, and I still considered myself the owner of Jingzhaiyuan.
Although Chen Qingqing was kicked out of the He family, she was still nominally regarded as the widow and widow of the auxiliary general who died fighting for the country. There were many powerful people in Jiangning City who were greedy for Chen Qingqing's beauty, but no one would mess with her at this time.
Feng was discussing taking Chen Qingqing as his concubine. However, Su Mei heard that Yuan Jinqiu, the eldest son of the Marquis of Jin'an, Yuan Jinsheng's brother, had been visiting Jingzhai Garden frequently recently. Yuan Jinqiu was a standard dandy.
, was not popular with the Marquis of Jin'an, but he was the legal heir of the Marquis of Jin'an, which he could not change even if the Marquis of Jin'an returned to power.
Lin Fu also heard from the streets that the then Duke of Mu, Zeng Mingxin, was also interested in Chen Qingqing, the owner of the Jingzhai Garden, and the rumor was very popular among the people.
Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin and Jin'an Hou Yuangui are of the same generation and can be regarded as Yuan Jinqiu's uncles. Mu Guogong's mansion and Jin'an Hou's mansion are each other's mortal enemies in Jiangning City. Zeng Mingxin and Yuan Jinqiu secretly compete for the former.
The concubine of General Fu Guo, the first-class celebrity in Jiangning's prostitution scene - how can such super gossip not attract the attention of ordinary people?
It is also for this reason that Chen Qingqing's reputation in Jiangning is three points higher than that of Su Mei.
Even if Lin Fu covered his ears with his hands, he heard Chen Qingqing's name mentioned more than once or twice after arriving in Jiangning. However, he had never seen the person. He did not expect that Chen Qingqing would be a guest in Baiyuan today, but he felt strange in his heart:
Su Mei doesn't mind chatting about other market rumors, but why has she never mentioned the gossip about Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin secretly vying for Chen Qingqing?
Lin Fu, Qin Chengzu and others were in the front yard of Baiyuan, looking at a plum tree planted in the yard. The branches were sprouting flowers and covered with snow. Daopo Song went in to announce but returned after only ten breaths. Lin Fu
Fu looked up and saw Xiaoman walking out behind him: "Ah, Mr. Lin, you are here. The lady said, I will lead you in directly when you come over. I will lead you in right now..."
Yesterday, Zhao Hu came to deliver greetings and made things difficult for Song Dao Po. Su Mei was afraid that Lin Fu and Qin Chengzu would make things difficult for them again today, so she planned to ask Xiao Man to come to the front garden to see the meeting at the appointed time.
Go in next to Daopo Song and report.
The snow scene in the cypress garden was not trampled, and everyone else was waiting in the front yard. Lin Fu and Qin Chengzu, who dressed up as a big merchant in Chongzhou, followed Xiaoman to the back garden. Su Mei and Chen Qingqing were enjoying the snow and plum blossoms in the back garden. Lin Fu
This is the first time that Fu has met Chen Qingqing.
Compared with Su Mei's pure beauty, Chen Qingqing has a special kind of beauty. She is sitting there, wearing a brocade coat, and a snow-white fox fur outdoors, which still makes people feel her breasts.
With her bulging waist and soft waist, no wonder she is said to be able to dazzle half the men in Jiangning.
"Is this the Lin Juzi that Sister Su was talking about?" Chen Qingqing was about the same age as Liu Yue'er, two years older than Su Mei. But after spending many years in the world of mortals, when she saw Lin Fu and Qin Chengzu walking in, she didn't know anything about it.
Not being timid, he sat on the stone bench covered with brocade cushions and looked at Lin Fu with sultry eyes. The words he spoke were as sharp as a knife, "Sister Su has some eyesight. She is a character who can scare the young master of the feudal lord to the point of peeing in his crotch.
I think he's better than that Jie Yuan!" He glanced at Lin Fu's face, looked at Su Mei and asked, "By the way, Chen Jieyuan went back to the countryside to study in seclusion and prepare to become a blockbuster in the Jinluan Palace next year. It must have been a while since I wrote to my sister, right?
?" He stood up again and waved the brocade handkerchief and said, "Okay, okay, I won't stay and be a nuisance. Sister Su, just meet Lin Juzi. I'm going back to Jingzhai..." Nor to Lin Fuduo.
What did he say? He called Daopo Song, "Mother Song, please come to Jingzhai with Sister Su as a guest. I won't disturb you today."
When Chen Qingqing, her maid, and Song Daopo walked out of the back garden, Su Mei said to Lin Fu with an embarrassed look, "Chen Qingqing is just a mouthful, but she's not that bad."
"I know," Lin Fu said with a smile, "Isn't it because she mentioned Chen Mingzhe that she was afraid that I would stalk you? Alas, this reputation has been ruined, and it will be difficult to restore it in a while."
Only Xiaoman was the quickest: "Chen Jieyuan sent someone to bring several letters, but the lady couldn't pester him so she replied to one. I've also read that letter. She was really serious about talking about knowledge.
.”
"Go! What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Mei spat at Xiaoman, her pink face turned slightly red, and she bowed to Qin Chengzu, "Su Mei has seen Mr. Qin..."
