After seeing off Tang Kuobian, Fang Jinshi walked back to the hall where Shi Quan received guests in Jinxianzhuang. Shi Quan lowered his head to look at the account books. Feng Wan took a kettle to water the flowers and plants on the porch. Seeing him approaching, Feng Wan put down the kettle. , waved to him.
Fang Jinshi came over, and Feng Wan whispered: "Tell your sister-in-law quietly, I won't tell your brother, what is going on between you and that girl Liu?"
Fang Jinshi scratched the back of his head: "It's not nothing, it's just what you saw. I really didn't lie to you." Feng Wan pretended to be angry and rolled her eyes at him, and then said: "I'll tell you, brother, I'm sure You two have known each other for a long time, and you wanted to help us, so you arranged for her to come to buy cloth. In fact, it was your idea and your money. Your elder brother said you would not do this."
Fang Jinshi chuckled and said, "How could this happen? Sister-in-law, you think too much. Why should I go around in front of you? Don't you find it tiring?"
Feng Wan looked at Shi Quan. He was concentrating on looking down at the account. He should not have noticed this. Feng Wan whispered to the other party and said to the stone: "While your eldest wife Liang is not here, don't hesitate. Think of something with that first." Liu Rumei has cooked rice, and even if she wants to regret it by then, it will be too late."
Fang Jinshi asked: "Are you talking about my eldest lady, or Liu Rumei?"
Feng Wan smiled and said: "No matter which one it is, it's too late to regret it."
Fang Jinshi laughed: "Sister-in-law, I always thought you were upright and kind, but I didn't expect you could be so evil-minded sometimes."
Feng Wan pushed him lightly and said, "I think about you wholeheartedly, but you say that to me. I will never say it again next time."
The two people were talking about jokes and laughing loudly. Shi Quan heard this and came over and said, "What are you talking about?"
Feng Wandao: "I'm giving my brother some advice on how to deceive that Miss Liu Wu. Do you want to listen to this stupid head like you?"
Shi Quan immediately frowned: "If you're good, don't teach me, just come up with crooked ideas."
Feng Wan deliberately rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't have the ability, so I don't allow others to tell me." Shi Quan immediately shut up. Feng Wan turned to the other person and said, "Listen to my sister-in-law and hurry up and get things done."
Fang Jinshi readily agreed and walked out of Jinxianzhuang. He was thinking that Feng Wan was protective of his shortcomings and turned inward. She was really like a biological sister. He felt very warm inside.
When he walked out of Jinxian Village, he remembered that he wanted to pay Liu Rumei four thousand coins, so he first went to find the gentleman who had come back from Pingjiang Fucheng to take care of the account, and asked him to find three other clerks, and asked them to prepare five thousand coins. Song Qian first sent a thousand coins to Mianqian Manor to return to Shi Quan, and took the remaining four thousand coins to go to Liu Rumei's Huiyue Tower.
When they arrived at Huiyue Tower, Fang Jinshi first went to report to Liu Rumei's subordinates in the store. After a while, a thin and dry man came with a few people. Fang Jinshi didn't recognize this person. This thin and dry man came to greet him from a distance. She bowed her hand to him and said, "Master Fang, right? I'm Li Siyi."
Last time Li Bagan didn't find a boat for Liu Rumei, Liu Rumei said that he would go to Li Siyi to solve the problem. He was the one he wanted. He was another leader brought by Liu Rumei, but his status should be lower than that of Li Bagan.
Fang Jinshi quickly gave him a polite greeting and said, "Leader Li, is Miss Liu Wu here?"
Li Siyi said: "Yes, I will let someone pass it on."
Fang Jinshi nodded and said, "I'm here to repay the four thousand yuan that Miss Liu Wu lent me last time. Please find someone to move in."
Li Siyi called a few subordinates and brought the money in. Fang Jinshi asked the guys who came with him to go back first, then turned back and walked to the front hall of Huiyue Building. Li Siyi led him to the inner hall at the back. At the door, I saw Li Bagan walking towards me.
Fang Jinshi didn¡¯t want to see him at this time, but there was nothing he could do if he bumped into him, so he had to salute from a distance and say hello: ¡°Leader Li.¡±
Li Bagan calmly did not return the greeting, and asked calmly: "Master Fang is here at this time, I don't know what you are doing."
Fang Jinshi had no choice but to say: "I borrowed 4,000 yuan from Miss Liu Wu last time, and I gave it to you today."
Li Bagan said: "Master Fang is really a man of his word."
Fang Jinshi smiled awkwardly, and Li Bagan turned to Li Siyi and asked, "Have you received all the money?"
Li Siyi replied: "Already received."
Li Bagan nodded, and the other party Jinshi said: "The money has been received. I will let the Lord know. If there is nothing else, Mr. Fang, please come back."
Fang Jinshi didn¡¯t see Liu Rumei, so he was a little unwilling, so he looked behind him, turned to Li Bagan and said, ¡°Boss Li, I have something else to tell Miss Liu Wu, please pass it on.¡±
Li Bagan said stiffly: "It's the same if you tell me something. I will tell it to my master word for word. My master is not here now."?Out. "
Fang Jinshi looked at Li Siyi standing next to him and said, "This leader Li just said that Miss Liu Wu is here."
Li Bagan stood proudly and asked in a deep voice: "Isn't it okay to go out just now? Our Lord is out, do we still need Mr. Fang's permission?"
Fang Jinshi saw that he had a tough attitude, so he thought about it and let it go. If Li Bagang didn't let him see Liu Rumei, he wouldn't be able to force his way through, so he could only clasp his fists casually and said, "Okay, I'll take my leave now."
He turned around and walked out. Li Bagan said coldly behind him: "I won't send it off."
Fang Jinshi walked out of Huiyue Tower and stood under the big archway a little bored, wondering if he should go back. A young girl passed by him, looked around and saw no one around, and called out in a low voice: "Mr. Fang."
Fang Jinshi looked up and saw that the girl looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was the maid next to Liu Rumei, the same one who took Fang Jinshi to take a bath last time. She was carrying a basket, as if she was going to buy something.
Fang Jinshi took a step closer, and the maid whispered: "Master Fang, walk along the river bank to the pier with a big willow tree on the bank in front."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and left quickly. Fang Jinshi listened to her words and walked along the river bank. After walking a long way, he saw a pier with willow trees on the bank.
There was a small cargo ship loading goods at the pier, but it left after a while. Fang Jinshi waited for a while and saw a two-story boat on the river. In addition to the boatmen rowing the boat, there were seven other people on the bow. Eight young women in colorful clothes and heavy makeup stood on the second floor, laughing and joking.
Of course Fang Jinshi knew that this was Goulan Courtyard, a place for people to have fun and sell money on the river. The big boat docked at the pier, and the women got off the boat and rushed to Fang Jinshi. They surrounded him and shouted, "Hello!" Li pulled him to pull him to the boat to play and have fun.
Fang Jinshi was caught off guard. Although he was used to it and was not at a loss like a shy honest man, he didn't want to get on the boat, so he refused again and again. He just couldn't handle the women who were busy with their hands. Some were pushing and others were pulling. Slowly pull him to the river.
Fang Jinshi was angry and pushed the woman who pulled him the hardest away, and cursed: "Grandpa, don't go, don't you hear me? If you pull me again, I won't be polite!"
"Hey, this young master has such a bad temper. Who has offended you?" A soft voice came from above his head. Fang Jinshi sounded familiar. He looked up and saw a young young master leaning against the railing on the second floor of the boat. , holding his chin with his hand and looking down, there was a shining golden flute stuck in his waist, it was Liu Rumei who was wearing men's clothing.
Liu Rumei saw him looking up and blinked at him. The women all became quiet when they saw her appearance.
Fang Jinshi raised his head and asked, "Why are you here?"
Liu Rumei's expression was as usual, and she even looked innocent and didn't understand why he asked such a question: "Why can't I be here? It's not that I don't have money. Of course I came here to look for flowers and ask Liu to have fun. Do you have money? If you don't have money, I invite you."
Fang Jinshi said: "I have no money, and I don't want you to invite me."
Liu Rumei let out a long sigh: "So you want to have fun for free, but I don't know if those girls are willing to let you have fun in vain."
She spoke boldly, even though she was wearing men's clothes and dressed like a rich man. She was beautiful and handsome. The women below should have been able to tell that she was a woman. There was nothing logically wrong with her answer. It was just Fang Jinshi's original It means that she has no money and doesn't want to go up there, but it makes her sound like a naughty scoundrel who likes to take advantage.
Fang Jinshi said a little speechlessly: "Come down, what are you doing on this boat? Let's go somewhere else to play."
Liu Rumei stretched out her index finger and shook it at him. At the same time, she shook her head and said, "Do you want to come up? If not, I will have someone sail away. Don't regret it."
Fang Jinshi smiled, walked to the bow of the boat and lowered the planks for getting on the boat, and said, "Okay, I'm coming up." He walked onto the boat along the corridor of the boat, and Liu Rumei said from above: "Liu Pi, give them some." money."
A big man standing in front of the boat went over and gave some money to the singing girls. When the boat started, the women stopped getting on the boat and stayed on the shore to go back on their own.
Fang Jinshi passed by the big man named Liu Pi and nodded slightly to say hello. He felt a little familiar. He should be one of the big men who accompanied Liu Rumei to give Luo Laohu money last time.
He came to the second floor of the painting boat. Liu Rumei leaned against the railing and looked at him with a smile. She stood there with her arms folded. The wind on the river made her hair and hair ties flutter in the wind, giving Fang Jinshi a moving feeling. attitude.
Fang Jinshi chuckled and asked, "How did you find this place?"
Liu Rumei said: "Money can make ghosts grind, just give them money."
Fang Jinshi looked around: "Did you buy it?"
Liu Rumei shook her head: "I won't buy a place like this. I want to borrow a place to enjoy the wind on the river and see the scenery along the bank." After saying that, he pointed to the top with his finger. Fang Jinshi followed the direction of her finger. Only then did he notice the three words "Yancui Pavilion" carved on the lintel. Seeing these three words, Fang Jinshi suddenly remembered that one of the most famous Goulan Courtyards in the capital was Li Shishi's former Alum Tower. , one is Yancui Pavilion where Cui Niannu is located.
This luxurious and magnificent boat belongs to Yancui Pavilion.
Fang Jinshi said "oh" but didn't say anything. Liu Rumei came over and said, "Have you been here before?"
Fang Jinshi said: "When I was in Bianliang City, I was a poor boy. How could I come to such an expensive place?"
Liu Rumei shook her head and said, "I don't believe it. You are such a lustful person. No matter how much you spend, you will definitely come here."
Fang Jinshi said helplessly: "If you talk like this, I have nothing to say."
Liu Rumei chuckled and said with a low smile: "Okay, okay, I believe you haven't been here for the time being. I just take this opportunity to take a good look at this place, look for flowers and ask Liu, so as not to have any regrets in the future."
Fang Jinshi saw her starting to joke, and took the opportunity to tease her: "You have driven away those good-looking women, where can I go to look for flowers?"
Liu Rushi rolled her eyes and asked, "What's my last name?"
Fang Jinshi said: "My surname is Liu."
Liu Rumei clasped her palms together: "Looking for flowers and asking willows, there are already willows, where are the flowers?" She pretended to look around for something, and then said loudly: "Sister Cui, sister Cui, aren't you coming out yet?"
When Fang Jinshi heard that Cui Niannu was there, he was a little surprised.
Liu Rumei walked quickly to the cabin, and after a while, she pulled a beautiful woman by the arm and walked out. While pulling her, she said, "Why do you like to pretend so much? You're still pretending even though you're here."
Cui Niannu, who was pulled out by her, walked to the door, holding on to the doorframe and struggling to come out. She forced him to pull him out. Cui Niannu looked at Fang Jinshi with a delicate look on his face and lowered his head.
Liu Rumei pulled Cui Niannu in front of Fang Jinshi and said proudly: "Is this flower beautiful enough? I looked for flowers and asked willows. There are flowers and willows. Am I a friend enough and am I loyal to you?"
