[Comprehensive martial arts] Huangquan Inn

Chapter 31

There is a well-known garden in Fuzhou called Lan Garden.

Exquisite and graceful, beautiful and elegant, changing scenery with every step, and freehand landscape, it is a typical Jiangnan scenery, which is quite obvious in the port city of Fuzhou.

The owner of Lanyuan is an amiable lady, surnamed Feng, who is from Gusu in the south of the Yangtze River.She runs quite a few flower shops in her hands, and this old lady Feng accounts for half of the flower industry in Fuzhou.

She also opened several charitable halls to take in homeless beggars and abandoned babies, give them a place to stay, and teach them how to make a living.When they grow up, they only need to work in the shop under Mrs. Feng for five years to get away.

In addition, this old lady Feng always ordered people to spread porridge and donate money to repair bridges and repair roads on weekdays, so she was quite famous in Fuzhou City.

Mrs. Feng went back to her hometown in Gusu to visit her daughter half a year ago, and brought many rare and precious flower seeds unique to Jiangnan before leaving.Those flowers were all given by a well-known scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, and he specially wrote down the care methods he figured out by himself, telling Mrs. Feng how to make them grow better.

After Mrs. Feng came back, she planted flowers and plants by herself according to the famous scholar's method. As expected, all those rare and rare flowers bloomed one by one, which is amazing.

As the old lady watched, she felt that such a beautiful scene should not be the only one to watch it. She wanted to open it up for outsiders to see, and she also planned to gain a higher reputation.

Mrs. Feng recalled her daughter's smile when she was in Gusu: "Since mother likes girls, why don't you hold a flower-viewing feast and invite girls from Fuzhou together when the flowers are all in bloom? Wouldn't it be lively? "

Looking at the garden full of flowers, the old lady followed the process of the flower viewing banquet held in the south of the Yangtze River in the past, and ordered people to write an announcement to invite all the daughters in the city to enjoy the feast.

He said that he would come to visit not only the family he had good friends with Mrs. Feng, but also several rich officials.

In fact, with the establishment of the new dynasty and the penetration of sea transportation, although the status of merchants has improved, they are still lower than those of scholars, peasants and workers. Although the old lady Feng has a good reputation, she is still half a merchant after all. When she came to Fuzhou a few years ago, if she did This flower banquet may not be attended by the boudoir daughter.

Now this old lady's house is closed because of her daughter, many respectable families are willing to make friends with her.

In the past few days of the flower viewing feast, the gates of Lan Garden were full of cars and horses, and the cars were full of people who came to the banquet. The girls in various skirts were full of laughter and went into the garden in twos and threes to enjoy the flowers.

A carved carriage that did not lose or stand out slowly stopped at the door, and two strange and beautiful girls stepped out of it, immediately attracting the attention of the girls who hadn't entered yet.

Without him, girls with some names in the whole city would be here today.When studying in the academy on weekdays, it is not easy for everyone to dress up too much.In today's situation, it is natural to dress up well, and it will be more pleasing to watch the flowers and each other.

The two girls getting off from the carriage really took a deep breath from the girls who hadn't left yet.

One is wearing a goose-yellow wide-sleeved skirt, her long hair tied up in a lily bun, carefully adorned with pear blossom jade hairpins, and her eyebrows are very beautiful.The other is wearing a two-color flower skirt, a scarlet bun, jade face and red lips, sparkling eyes, and a soul-stirring demeanor in every gesture.

"Which girl is this, why have I never seen it before?"

"I looked at the girl in the floral dress, she was actually a bit more outstanding than Jiang Qianqian."

"Perhaps he came from somewhere else. With such a first-class appearance, I actually think of the daughter of Mrs. Feng's family."

"I see, you are thinking about the original work of Layman Xiaoxiang in the hands of the daughter!"

After the girls were amazed, the topic changed by more than a dozen jumps. Thanks to them, they were able to seamlessly connect and talk about topics.

A slender girl walked out of the garden, looked at the strange beauty who came hand in hand, smiled and said, "The two elder sisters are here to enjoy the flowers, and they look strange."

The girl with the shocking bun covered her lips and smiled softly: "My surname is Shen, and I'm the seventh in my family. This is my cousin from the Lin family in Gusu, who is the ninth in my family. I came to Fuzhou with the elders of the family. I heard that there is a flower viewing banquet here." , so he came with a cheeky face."

Even the voice is as sweet as an oriole.

The smile in the eyes of the girl who spoke deepened: "So it's Miss Shen Qi and Miss Lin Jiu, then you are at the right place, there are many rare and rare species here that you don't usually see in Old Madam Feng."

She took two steps forward, leading Miss Shen Qi and Miss Lin Jiu into the pavilions and pavilions with one step at a time, like a master.

"My surname is Jiang, and my name is Qianqian. Miss Shen Qi calls me 'Qianqian'." When leading girls Shen Qi and Lin Jiu through the veranda, the girl smiled and said, "People who come to see flowers these days Many, Sister Yuan, who is with the old lady, asked me to help entertain the guests."

Although old lady Feng's garden doesn't care about status, anyone who wants to enjoy the flowers can come, but the noble daughters in Fuzhou city each have their own circles, so naturally there are days when they meet to exchange some topics.

Jiang Qianqian was one of them. As a well-known girl with both talent and beauty in the city, she was very popular with Mrs. Feng. She was once lamented by the other party that she looked like her daughter who was studying in Gusu.

Jiang Qianqian was very happy, she knew who Mrs. Feng's daughter was.

Some famous daughters in Fuzhou city know it, which is one of the reasons why those official daughters changed their attitudes.

Because of the old lady's daughter, the girl named "Zhen Yinglian" is the disciple of the well-known Xiaoxiang Layman.

Xiaoxiang Layman, the leader of the Jiangnan literary circle, the youngest imperial examination woman in the Ming Dynasty with six yuan and No.1.

After the palace examination, this gentleman did not stay in the imperial court to serve. Instead, he went to study abroad, and then lived in seclusion in Gusu, where occasionally he handed down poems and essays for the world to read.

He is the legendary literary hero that Jiang Qianqian and other female students who are still contemplating study are most looking forward to.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qianqian couldn't help asking: "Miss Lin Jiu is from the Lin family of Gusu? But the Lin family of Xiaoxiang Layman?"

Miss Lin Jiu didn't speak, but Miss Shen Qi replied with a smile: "I don't dare to climb up to the famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, but it's just a side branch that is far away."

Jiang Qianqian said: "Even if it is a side branch, I can tell from the appearance of Miss Lin Jiu that the Lin family in Gusu has always lived up to its reputation as a romantic figure."

Jiang Qianqian, who was happily thinking that one day she might be able to see Layman Xiaoxiang, was leading the way, but she didn't notice that the two beautiful girls behind her froze for a moment when they heard her name.

'This girl Jiang Qianqian, wouldn't it be so coincidental that she is the daughter of Mr. Jiang? '

Miss Shen Qi's eyes moved slightly, and she saw Lin Jiu, who had been silent by her side, nodded slightly.

Lin Jiu said in a low voice: "It's her, I remembered, I saw her when I was a child."

They are both natives of Fuzhou, and their family background is not bad. They have indeed met, but it was a long time ago when they were very young.Now that they've grown up, it's normal for him not to recognize each other.As for himself, hehe, the transformed appearance has nothing to do with his imagination, so it would be strange for the other party to recognize him.

A deep voice sounded in Shen Qi's ears, such a beautiful girl, but her voice was clearly masculine.

And Shen Qi was not surprised, just nodded slightly.

These Shen Qi and Lin Jiu are naturally Wang Lianhua and Lin Pingzhi who disguised themselves as women.

That night when Ruthless arrested the head and said that there happened to be a place where the prince was needed, neither of them had thought of where it could be used.Until the ruthless headhunter gave them an address and asked them to go to the banquet the next day pretending to be their daughter's house.

Lin Pingzhi froze in place on the spot, even thinking that he had heard it wrong. How could this cold-faced imperial court official say such outrageous words in a serious manner?

Wuqing said: "The lord only said that he wanted to see Mr. Lin, since Mr. Wang is interested, this is the only way to do it."

Sitting in the "bird's nest", there was a slight smile in the eyes of the catcher.

"The lord has a special status, and he went out of Beijing secretly. He needs to hide it. He has been living in Lan Yuan during this time. Only his daughter's house can enter Lan Yuan. Maybe he will wrong Mr. Lin."

The implication is that if Wang Lianhua doesn't follow, it may not be like this.

Lin Pingzhi had no choice but to admit that the goldfish given by the little boss was in his hands. If there was an emergency, he could teleport it away in place. If Wang Lianhua was left behind, he could already imagine how the other party would "return" it in the future .

Although this guy was mostly looking for fun, after all, he really helped him.

Wang Lianhua's hands can turn decay into magic, and it is not difficult to transform herself and Lin Pingzhi into girls.As for finding a suitable dress in the second half of the night, it can only be said that the people in the court are really planning ahead and are very well prepared.

Except that Lin Pingzhi didn't know how to change his voice, and he basically kept his mouth shut along the way, and Wang Lianhua did all those who had to speak, almost no one could see this disguise.

The reason why it is said almost is because this flower viewing event lasted for several days, among the people they were going to meet today, they knew one person, and that was the person from the imperial court that Wu Qing said.

Naturally, it wouldn't be Jiang Qianqian who led the way.

After Jiang Qianqian took them to the garden, she left and continued to shuttle between the flowers and trees in the garden.

Different from Lin Pingzhi, who was extremely cramped, Wang Lianhua, under the name of "Shen Qi", quickly blended in with the noble daughters present, discussing rouge, gouache, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and articles with them, and her every move was extremely beautiful , although inquiring about news, it seems that there is no sense of disobedience.

Lin Pingzhi sat on the rattan chair with a beautiful face, his eyes blurred.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't agree to the other party's coming, anyway, with Wang Lianhua's means, you can definitely solve the problem by yourself.

Why on earth did he sacrifice himself?

Lin Pingzhi, who bears the identity of "Nine Girls of Gusu Lin", sighed softly, and was about to get up to call that unscrupulous guy Wang Lianhua back when a female voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Ninth girl, long time no see."

Large beads and small beads fall on a jade plate.

Lin Pingzhi turned his head "Teng", and saw a woman in red standing behind him under the shadow of durian flowers.

"Who are you?" He used the inflections that Wang Lianhua had taught him temporarily, barely concaving a soft female voice.

"But I haven't seen you for a few years, and Miss Nine doesn't recognize my sister?"

The woman came out from under the durian flowers. The red shirt and red skirt on her body were more colorful than the durian flowers.However, she had a pair of apricot-like eyes, her lips were slightly raised, and her whole body had a gentle aura, which was not even a bit ostentatious.

"It's time to fight."

She said with a smile and patted Lin Pingzhi on the shoulder. The shot seemed slow, but she didn't give Lin Pingzhi time to avoid it.

For a moment, Lin Pingzhi only felt that the shoulder touched by her was extremely numb, and he couldn't stand up.

"Ah, Miss Jiu, why are you still in such poor health?"

The woman let out a soft breath, and hurriedly came forward to support him, her tone was very friendly and reproachful, "I said it earlier, I still have a few good prescriptions here, I just happen to show you."

Looking at it from a distance, it is just an older woman helping a slightly unwell girl to walk around.

"Sister Yuan, you are here!"

That party Jiang Qianqian had already returned to the noble lady, chatted with the new girl Shen Qi for a while, and when she looked up, she saw that Sister Yuan, who was beside Mrs. Feng, was free today, and said pleasantly.

Miss Shen Qi followed her gaze, just in time to see the appearance of "Sister Yuan" supporting Lin Jiu to leave.

The moment the woman in red raised her head upon hearing the sound, Wang Lianhua's pupils shrank suddenly, and she almost lost her expression.

You are ruthless, so you are cheating me here!

Shen Qi shouldn't have known the woman in red, but Master Qianmian had met her once.

At that time, the woman was not wearing the daughter's dress in front of her, but a flying fish suit of the same color, with an imperial embroidered spring knife hanging on her waist.

No wonder it takes a lot of trouble to cover up people's eyes and ears.

He is just a river and lake person who wants to have fun, and doesn't really want to confront the group of treacherous eagle dogs in the court.

It's a pity that he seems to have been unlucky recently, and this time he unexpectedly ran into this person.

What exactly did that killer group do to order the Commander of Jin Yiwei to go out in person?
