"Cheated?" Fang Jinshi asked back: "Prince Li Ka'an went through so much trouble and didn't get the slightest advantage, so why did he lie to us?"
Shi Hao thought about the same truth, Fang Jinshi said: "Where is Li Bao?"
Shi Hao said: "I've gone back."
Fang Jinshi stood up, stretched and said, "I originally wanted to ask him to have a few drinks, but it seems we can only go."
Shi Hao said: "I'll ask someone to call him over."
Fang Jinshi stopped him and said, "Next time, let's call Mr. Lin, the shopkeeper, and we'll go out to find a loft to drink wine." Shi Hao immediately went out and asked Mr. Hu to arrange the business in the store, and called Mr. Lin and others. The two subordinates left Jinxian Village together.
Standing on the street, Shi Hao asked: "Where to go for a drink?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I heard from others that there is a good Huarong Pavilion at Meilin Pier in the southern suburbs of the city. Now that I'm out, I might as well go a little further and take a look at the southern suburbs of the city."
He proposed this, and no one objected. A group of several people got on the new carriage bought by Jinxianzhuang and headed for the southern suburbs of the city.
There are many rivers in the Jiangnan water town. Meilin Pier is the largest and busiest unloading terminal in the southern suburbs of Pingjiang City. The surrounding area is full of merchants shipping goods and handling coolies. There are dozens of shops nearby. The fireworks display Huarong Pavilion is in the river. There is an open space in the middle, where a wooden bridge needs to be crossed. Huarong Pavilion is not a big place, with a two-story house. There are a few small painted boats parked on the edge of the river at the entrance, which can be regarded as supplementing the building area.
When Fang Jinshi and others came, it was still early and there were no guests in Huarong Pavilion yet. The Madam didn't come out to greet them until they were almost upstairs. She even said it was rude, so Fang Jinshi sat down. The Madam found some girls for them to choose from. Fang Jinshi looked at There was no Zhu Yanyan here, so I asked: "Isn't Miss Zhu Yanyan here?"
The Madam was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and then said: "It turns out that the young master's sweetheart is Miss Yanyan. She is on the boat outside. I will send someone to call her immediately." This Huarong Pavilion is not big, and there are not many smiling girls inside. She couldn't even remember Zhu Yanyan's name.
Shi Hao and others found the girl they liked, and either took them to other rooms to drink, or went to the pavilion to listen to music. The rest of them sat under the stone and drank tea, waiting for Zhu Yanyan. After a long time, the maid led Zhu Yanyan Come in through the door.
When Fang Jinshi saw Zhu Yanyan, he couldn't help but be startled. Although she was still wearing bright clothes, she didn't have the heavy makeup on her face when they met the last two times. Instead, Fang Jinshi felt clean, clear and bright, as if she was a different person. Her hair was still a little wet, and her earrings were only worn on one side, which showed how hastily she arrived.
When Zhu Yanyan saw Fang Jinshi from a distance, she hurried over with a smile on her face and said, "Sure enough, Fang Guan is here. On the way here, I was thinking whether Fang Guan was thinking of me." She left happily. As soon as she came over, she threw herself into Fang Jinshi's arms, put her arms around his neck and hugged him, as if Fang Jinshi was really the sweetheart she had known for a long time.
Fang Jinshi put his arm around her waist and said with a smile: "I remembered that you said you were here at Meilin Pier, so I came over to see you."
Zhu Yanyan smiled and replied: "Fang Guan is really trustworthy. At first, I thought you must just come to see me for casual talk." She turned around and took a grape from the table, peeled it and brought it to Fang Jin's mouth. At the same time, Fang Jinshi took it in his mouth. Zhu Yanyan got off him and said to the madam: "Mother Li, this young master is Mr. Fang, the richest merchant in Huaidong. He spent thousands of dollars to redeem Miss Baozhu."
The bustard mother was startled, so she came over to accomplice her again, saying that she didn't know anything about Taishan, and she said some polite words. Fang Jinshi smiled and replied, and the bustard mother made arrangements to serve rare fruit snacks again. Fang Jinshi didn't want to show off, but he changed his mind. , and rewarded everyone present.
Everyone in Huarong Pavilion could not help but be more enthusiastic towards him. Zhu Yanyan said: "Master Fang, would you like to come to my room?"
Fang Jinshi nodded in agreement. Under the envy of all the girls, Fang Jinshi followed Zhu Yanyan upstairs and arrived at the house where Zhu Yanyan lived. Although the furnishings and furniture here were a bit old, they were still clean and tidy. The pink curtains hung low and the red paint There was a guqin on the table, and incense was burning in the room. This faint fragrance made Fang Jinshi pinch his nose.
Zhu Yanyan noticed it and asked, "Is Fang Guan not used to smelling this fragrance?"
Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "No, this smell is okay." He just hasn't smelled this kind of incense for a long time. Huang Jinmian sometimes lights incense, but the taste is completely different. This kind of incense smell, Yun Nuer began to I often lit it when I was young, but later I found out that Fang Jinshi didn¡¯t like the smell, so I stopped lighting it.
The Madam quickly sent someone to bring food, wine, and snacks. Zhu Yanyan poured him a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Fang, let's have a drink first."
Fang Jinshi took the wine glass, but put it on the table and said, "I drank too much outside before coming here, so I won't drink anymore."
Zhu Yanyan said oh,
He took the plate and chopsticks and placed them in front of Fang Jinshi and said, "Then official Fang, let's have some food and wine."
Fang Jinshi shook his head, put his right hand on her neck, and twisted his fingers around her hair. Zhu Yanyan hid slightly and stopped moving. Fang Jinshi smiled and asked, "Where are you from? Why have you never seen her before?" you?"
Zhu Yanyan made up her mind, turned around and said with a smile: "Fang Guan of Huarong Pavilion has never been here before, and it is normal for him to have never seen the slave family. Fang Guan asked about my place of origin, but he intends to redeem me and go out to work as a slave." concubine?"
Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is not impossible."
Zhu Yanyan looked at him and said, "In front of you? Didn't Mr. Fang just say it casually?"
Fang Jinshi said: "Why did I lie to you" He was afraid that Zhu Yanyan would chase him and ask, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Can you play a piece of music for me to listen to?"
Zhu Yanyan did not ask any further questions. She walked over to the table in front of the guqin and said, "I have only studied for more than a month, and I am not good at playing it. Don't laugh at me, officials."
Fang Jinshi fell back, leaned against the pillar, closed his eyes and said, "Just play."
Zhu Yanyan tuned the strings and started playing lightly. The sound of the piano was long and melodious, like singing. Fang Jinshi wanted to close his eyes and enjoy listening to her playing. She only played the first few words, and Fang Jinshi opened his eyes because He was very familiar with this song, it was "Xiaoya".
Baozhu has played this piece, and Yun Nuer has played it for him countless times. Baozhu plays it calmly, calmly, and calmly, and is quite satisfactory. Yunnuer plays it lively and lively, with a clear sense of rhythm.
When Zhu Yanyan played it, it was completely different. It was good at first, but in the later steps, she got more wrong sounds and the transitions were stiff and vague. It was as she said, "I haven't learned how to play it well for Yu Yu", but she No matter what the mistake, I finally finished playing this song.
Although the song "Xiaoya" was ordinary, before Fang Jinshi could explain it, she played such a song that Yun Nuer often played. At the end of the song, Zhu Yanyan pushed the piano away and sighed: "Fang Guanren, I also I know that if I don¡¯t play well, I will never learn it. If the official wants to listen to the music, can I ask the piano player to come up?"
Fang Jinshi sat up straight and said with a smile, "That's not necessary. I don't understand the people who play the piano and sing. It's just fun to hear the sound."
Zhu Yanyan stood up, looked out the window at the river and said, "Fang Guan, the dishes are already cold. I'll ask them to bring some more dishes to go with the wine."
She made a move to open the door and go out. Fang Jinshi said: "I'm not here to drink. I'm here to have fun with a woman. No need to call. Come and have a few drinks with me."
Zhu Yanyan had no choice but to turn back and sit next to him. Fang Jinshi put his arms around her waist and used a little strength to hold her on his lap. Zhu Yanyan looked up at him and actually lowered her head.
Fang Jinshi took the wine glass in front of him and said, "You have a drink for me first." Zhu Yanyan took it obediently, held the glass in both hands and drank the wine. Fang Jinshi took advantage of her drinking and stroked her thigh with his right hand. Zhu Yanyan raised her legs slightly to dodge. After a while, he stopped moving and let him stroke her gently.
Fang Jinshi saw her turning her head away, putting her forehead against the pillar beside her and not daring to look at him. Her cheeks turned red. Fang Jinshi had never seen a girl in a tiled house blush shyly because of a man touching her legs. .
Fang Jinshi caressed her for a moment, then stopped. He adjusted the way he held Zhu Yanyan and moved her from his right leg to his left leg. Zhu Yanyan could no longer rest her head on the pillar. Fang Jinshi smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Yanyan tried her best to raise her head, shook her head slightly, and said in a very low voice: "Nothing."
Fang Jinshi chuckled and said, "Have you never hugged a man? You are still so shy and blushing."
After hearing this, Zhu Yanyan stretched out her arms to hug Fang Jinshi's neck, and said softly: "II only dream about being held by you, I'm just excited."
Fang Jinshi hugged her waist, lifted her up, and lowered his head to kiss Zhu Yanyan's face and earlobes. Zhu Yanyan dodged, and Fang Jinshi's right hand was like a fish, sliding from her skirt to her breast. Zhu Yanyan hurriedly moved the hand Withdrew from his neck and held Fang Jinshi's wrist tightly.
She looked up at Fang Jinshi, wanting to say something, but Fang Jinshi looked at her with a smile and said nothing. Zhu Yanyan sighed secretly, and the hand holding his wrist had lost its strength. Fang Jinshi squeezed both sides of her hand hard. After being frivolous enough, he let her go.
Zhu Yanyan stood up from him to the ground, adjusting her clothes. Her expression was neither happy nor unhappy, and she was calmly adjusting her clothes.Fang Jinshi asked: "What time is it now?"
Zhu Yanyan looked at the sky outside the window and said, "I don't know. I'll ask them and ask them to bring some hot tea and soup."
Fang Jinshi stood up and said, "No, it's probably not too early. I still have some things to do when I get back, so I'll go back now and see you again the next day."
After he finished speaking, he left and opened the door. Coach Lin sat on the railing, grabbed a handful of cooked beans and ate them carefully. Fang Jinshi was very relieved. He asked Shi Hao and others to go back, whether they had enjoyed themselves or not, Not allowed to stop for a moment.
