In the study outside the East Mansion, Zhu Kui sat alone in the room. During his mourning period, he was entrusted with others. He was inconvenient in any place and even a maid dared to tease him. ∈  

Every morning I went to visit my nephew raised by Xu Hao and his wife. My wife could stay with my wife, but I had to go out to practice martial arts and study. I wanted to go to Yisou Garden for a walk. First, it was inconvenient for men and women, and second, no sisters in the garden wanted to play with him, even if they were two sisters. He didn't want to interact with Xu Yu and a group of scholars, and wanted to go out to play but had no money.

In the past, he spent money like a tide, but now the Zhu family is no longer as good as before, but they are used to being big-handed and can't help feeling very uncomfortable. In the past, friends who have been drinking and drinking have been hiding far away.

Tian Wenhai, the disciple, walked in with a smile. Tian Wenhai was Liu Yun's confidant, and later joined the Zhu family.

"The boss is not going out for a walk?" Tian Wenhai sat down and said, "Junsheng passed by the Qinhuai River just now, and saw the river full of pleasure boats, and the sound of flutes was pleasant to hear. It turned out that today's famous prostitutes gathered in each household, and it was the Hundred Flowers Club every three months. There were so many tourists on both sides of the river like ants. Why was the boss depressed at home alone? Why would Wansheng accompany him to walk on the river for a while?"

He had to spend money when he went out, but Zhu Kui was unintentional. Although he had been worried about not paying for the cost for several days, he had to support his wives and concubines and other family members, and he had no spare money to spend. At this moment, when Tian Wenhai was talking so lively outside, he was immediately excited, and he threw all his worries and worries behind him and said with a smile: "Wait, I'll go back and change my clothes."

Walking back to the room, he changed into a new style of clothing, put a dozen taels of scattered silver, took a gold-pounding palace fan, walked out swayingly, and brought a servant.

After leaving the East Mansion and heading straight for the Qinhuai River, when we arrived at the river bank, there were indeed countless pleasure boats coming and going on the water surface, and the singing came and the wind was blowing. Because there were too many pedestrians, Zhu Kui asked the servant to hire a medium-sized cruise ship, intending to go directly to the river to play, so as not to be squeezed around on the shore and be covered in sweat.

Tian Wenhai was a little disappointed because Zhu Kui did not pick up prostitutes or bought food and drinks, so he just took a boat like that. He thought it seemed that he had no money. If the Zhu family had not had the backing of the Xu family, he would have changed to others.

After a long time, the servant hired a boat in the distance, and took another half a day to row over and parked on the shore. Zhu Kui was impatient, but he did not express his dissatisfaction as before. He also carved the old Tian Wenhai to the cruise ship, and ordered the boatman to go to a place with many pleasure boats.

The state-owned brothels were swept away, but they did not affect the romantic industry at all. History has changed, the comprehensive national strength has grown significantly, and its vitality has been restored in just a few years. The fierce competition of blooming flowers seems to be more prosperous than before.

The Qinhuai River is an inland river. Hundreds of ships were crowded with each other in the section of the river where Zhu Kui was located. They could only move forward slowly one after another. The guests on the other boats were not in a hurry. Some people sat in the cabins, while some were four or five people, almost all of them were friends gathered together.

Some cabins cover the curtains. There are no need to ask about the serious ladies inside; there are also many men and women sitting in a mixed bag, ranging from seven or eight people on a boat, including male and female students, Qinhuai prostitutes, merchants and celebrities, and anyway, there are all identities except officials.

It was already afternoon, and all kinds of lanterns were hung inside and outside the ship. People either recite poems and essays, savor bamboo and silk, or talk about current affairs. In short, the boats on people are very lively.

Compared to others, Zhu Kuidun said in annoyance: "Oh, I'm confused, why didn't I invite a few friends? At least I would pick up a few sisters. We are the only ones on our boat, and we are deserted. When we saw it by the neighboring boat, it was not only tasteless and shabby."

Tian Wenhai said to you, you have no money! He smiled and said, "It's nothing. We can see and hear each other's boats. Isn't it the same as when we brought women? Look, there are all men and women in these boats. Ours is unique. People may even envy you for being elegant! If you are lucky, you might be invited by the lonely ladies to board the boat for a while? Haha!"

"Don't talk nonsense. In the past, there might be a bold lady who invited scholars, but today it is impossible." Zhu Kui laughed dryly, "We were suppressed by others. We sat face to face and said something unique. Don't you blush?"

Just chatting and drinking tea, I looked at the women on the cruise boat and commented on the beauty and ugliness.

Suddenly, a large pleasure boat flowed down from the upper side, leaning against the side of the boat, with boats in front, back, left and right, and no one could squeeze out for a while.

The boatmen were busy negotiating loudly. Zhu Kui looked at a handsome young man in the pleasure boat, elegant and elegant dressed, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the cabin, with seven or eight book boys standing behind him. Yishui had a pretty face, and everyone was holding a towel, a fan, a spittoon and a food box in his hands. At a glance, he knew that he was a rich young man.

Sitting on both sides were four fan sisters, one playing the piano and the other singing music, one was responsible for pouring wine, and the other was responsible for picking up food to serve the young people.

The young man closed his eyes slightly and beat the rhythm in his hands, listening to the singing girls singing, with a leisurely expression. This made Zhu Kui feel very emotional. Before something happened, wasn't he so full of pomp and appearance every day? Who doesn't know the name of the second young master Zhu in Jinling City?

Where is this person sacred? Zhu Kui saw that he was a romantic man and looked like a god among immortals. He seemed to see Xu Hao and his son.

The young man opened his eyes and nodded slightly at him. Zhu Kui then stood up and walked to the bow of the boat, coughed gently. It turned out that one of the pink sisters was named Yihong, who had been together for many years.

Yihong was turning around and calling someone to boil the wine. When she heard someone coughing, she raised her head. Seeing that it was Zhu Kui who had not seen him for many days, she nodded with a smile, but she was not as attentive as before. Obviously, she had known that the Zhu family had been in trouble.

Zhu Kui was already accustomed to the warmth and warmth of human feelings, and was not angry, and asked, "Yihong, who brought you out?"

Yihong said across the boat: "It's this young master Yan. He came from Henan and arrived in Beijing for a few days. Today, because of the flower party, I called four of my sisters early in the morning. Yo! The young master is so relaxing on the boat, why don't he bring a few people?"

Zhu Kui blushed. Before he could answer, the young man had already walked out and bowed to him, "If you don't mind being prone to be aware of yourselves, why not come over and talk?"

Zhu Kui sighed in his heart, thinking that I had fallen to such a point? But his foot had already stepped over disobediently and bowed to each other. The young man invited him into the cabin, and the four fans stood up to salute.

The young man asked Zhu Kui to sit down and each person reported his name. This young master Yan claimed to be the son of Yanrong, the Bo Yongxing, Henan, and was from the Jingnan lineage.

"It turned out to be the elder brother of the Zhu family. I'm sorry, I'm rude." Young Master Yan quickly gave Zhu Kui respectfully. Zhu Kui smiled and helped him, and now he became even more intimate.

"Brother, who else is on the boat? Why not invite them to sit together?"

"It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful."

After Tian Wenhai came, Mr. Yan immediately ordered the banquet to be served, and the three of them drank happily. During the meal, Zhu Kui saw that Brother Yan was polite and had all learned about the Four Books and Five Classics of Astronomy, Geography, and was much better than him. He felt that he had met later.

They were generous in their actions and rewarded four fans with many expensive things. Zhu Kui, who only brought more than a dozen taels of silver, also pretended to give him a reward. Brother Yan insisted on refusing and insisted on rewarding him twenty taels of silver for each person.

Zhu Kui liked the other party more and asked, "Why are you here in Jinling? If you have any difficulties, you must do your best for your brother."

Young Master Yan said embarrassedly: "I am not afraid of my brother's jokes. I am dull since I was young and cannot study. Therefore, Jing Enmeng has a small future. I chose this trip to the department. Because I first entered Beijing, I had a good mountain and water everywhere. I set off from Henan last year and stayed at a place where I went for several days until I arrived in Jinling a few days ago. I dare not go to visit the elders of each family. Alas! I have been traveling around these two days, and I am worthy of being a golden land of the Six Dynasties and a romantic life forever. I wish I could live here. Brother, don't laugh at me as a frog in the well."

Zhu Kui smiled and said, "No."

The two of them exchanged cups and fell into the past when they saw it. Mr. Yan asked how many famous prostitutes were in Jinling City? Zhu Kui knew everything. Mr. Yan proposed to invite Zhu Kui to have a good trip another day, which was called "to see and hear".

Before we knew it, the sun went down the mountain, and lanterns were set up on both sides of the Qinhuai River, which made the shore colorful, with the lights and lights in the river, and the long pleasure boats that cost dozens of miles of endless.

However, the court had regulations that it was not allowed to have fun all night long, so the two of them came to the shore with an unsatisfactory feeling. On the occasion of separation, Mr. Yan asked Zhu Kui’s residence and said that he would visit him in the future.

Zhu Kui returned to the mansion and said to Tian Wenhai: "My brother is so handsome, he is generous and generous. How can such friends not be loved by them? What's more, there is a connection."

"Yes!" Tian Wenhai also envied the family's wealth and wealth. When the King of Yan raised an army to go south, how many heroes and generals made a fortune? Especially those who stayed outside all year round, the emperor who was far away from the sky was rich.

Logically speaking, Zhu Kui should have informed Xu Hao of this matter so that he could bring Mr. Yan to see him, but because the Xu family was in charge of him everywhere and Xu Hao did not allow him to inherit the title, he would rather wait for his nephew to grow up, so he couldn't help but feel resentful and did not want to see Xu Hao.

Most of the time, Xu Hao is not allowed to be visited by anyone. Young Master Yan is ranked third at home unless his father specifically instructs him.

The next morning, Zhu Kui had just gotten up, and the housekeeper came in and said, "A Young Master Yan asked for a name."

"Come in quickly, that's my friend." Zhu Kui quickly called for an invitation, put on his clothes and came out, and met each other in the study.

Zhu Kui thanked him for disturbing yesterday, thought for a while and said, "I guess my brother also knows what happened to me. Now he is living in Xu Mansion. I will take you to meet the masters of the Xu family."

Young Master Yan hurriedly said, "How can I be qualified for my mere identity? Besides, I am a junior, and I don't want to be restrained, so brother should not do this."

"That's it." Zhu Kui smiled and said, "I don't want to do it, I don't want to ask for it. Then, I will immediately serve as a drink and invite several brothers from the Xu family and friends from the generations. We will not get drunk today."

"Aren't that more restrictive?" Young Master Yan laughed and said, "I'm going to Beijing for the first time and I have never had a relationship with my brothers from each family. Besides, I have to go and bow to every family. Brother, please spare me, otherwise I will leave Beijing tonight."
