surnamed Wang

Chapter 194 Chapter 195

"I don't know if the lanterns in the city will look good tonight."

Several people were chatting, when Liu Luming suddenly said something without beginning or end.

His unintentional words instantly aroused the interest of several people present.

"Why don't we go out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns?" Wang Gangquan suggested.

Apart from the son-in-law who was born as the No. [-] Scholar, there was really no one who liked arty reciting poems to the moon.

So a few people combined and made a decision immediately.

This matter naturally had to be said by the third princess who was closest to the emperor.

Sure enough, when the three princesses made the request, the emperor first frowned and glanced at the crowd, then nodded helplessly.

The six people went out of the palace gate in twos and went straight to the most famous Jinshui River in the capital.

The Jinshui River was excavated in the Northern Yuan Dynasty and connected to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It used to be the starting point of water transportation in the capital.

After the establishment of the dynasty, the imperial court re-planned a new route and re-opened a canal in the north of the capital.

The new canal is located in the outskirts of Beijing. Since there is no limit on the scope, it is wide and deep, far exceeding the Jinshui River in the city.

As a result, the Jinshui River gradually lost its original function and became a pure scenic spot.

There are weeping willows planted on both sides of the Jinshui River, and the willows move with the wind. It is also an excellent place to enjoy the shade in this hot season.

There is a bridge on the river, which was originally named "Yuan'an", but after the dynasty repaired it, it was renamed "Quhu". It is ironic enough to think about it.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival, or Dragon Boat Festival and Double Ninth Festival, various grand activities will be held around Jinshui River.

Such as Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, Lantern Festival Lantern Riddles, Dragon Boat Race, and Double Ninth Festival.

And every time at this time, the bridge will be crowded.

Apparently the same is true today.

When Wang Gangquan and others arrived, the bridge was already crowded with people.

A few people didn't want to join in the fun and did the strenuous work, so they found a place on the river bank to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the river.

In addition to a large number of lanterns flowing down the river, there are many boats and boats.

These boats have different shapes, some have three floors and some have five floors.

Chuanfang is also called dry boat. Although it has the word "boat", it is a real building.

It's just because the shape resembles a boat, so it is named Chuanfang, which belongs to a kind of garden.

Most of these boats are brothels and wine shops, which were built slowly after the business roads were diverted.

People with a little bit of status will not choose to go to the bridge or the shore to crowd people, but to find a good seat on the winery, drinking and watching the scenery.

If the conditions are better, you can find a beautiful girl in a brothel, with nephrite in your arms, and enjoy the scenery, it will be even more beautiful.

But tonight, the big men obviously don't have this blessing, they can only listen to the charming laughter from the opposite boat from time to time, and enjoy their ears.

The three looked at the river and sighed, while the women next to them were attracted by the lively market not far away.

"We're going to go shopping, do you three want to go together?"

"Okay... well, no need, let's just take a look at the scenery."

Just as Liu Luming was about to answer, he was kicked on the heel by Wang Gangquan, so he quickly changed his words.

"Brother Wang, why is this?"

After the three women left, Liu Luming asked suspiciously.

"You really want to go shopping with them?"

"Any questions?"

"You don't have much experience at first glance. Going shopping with women will make you tired or bored to death."

"Wouldn't it be the happiest thing in the world for two people to go shopping together?"

Liu Luming still didn't understand.

"Brother-in-law, you are someone who has experienced it, why don't you explain to this young man who has not experienced much in the world?"

Wang Gangquan didn't answer him, but turned his head to look at Lian Li, the son-in-law beside him.

Lian Li was also a little surprised at this time, regardless of the other party's "brother-in-law" that he had never heard from others, his understanding of women alone was enough to impress him.

He nodded with a wry smile and said:

"I don't know much about others, but every time I go shopping with the princess, I'm exhausted."

Liu Luming saw that this elegant son-in-law said so, so it should be true.

"Then what shall we do next?"

"Hey, go to a good place."

Soon, the three of them appeared in front of a boat named "Tongque Building".

"Uh... Brother Wang, could it be here?"

Listening to the charming laughter coming from inside, Liu Luming couldn't help frowning.

"Of course, it's exactly the kind of place you want in your heart. As the saying goes, 'Tongquechun locks Erqiao deeply', it's a good place!"

"Uh...I'm afraid this is not good, after all, Huihui and the others will come back as soon as they say it."

"You know what a fart, women go shopping, there is no time to go, let alone three women together now."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the son-in-law again, and the latter nodded cooperatively, "That's right, every time we go out, it takes more than an hour at least."

"So, let's stop talking nonsense, brothers, let's go!"

After all, Wang Gingquan took the lead in throwing away the folding fan, and stepped into the gate in a coquettish manner.

The remaining two looked at each other, both showing helplessness.

It is a lie for an old man to say that he does not want to go. Even Liu Luming, who has never set foot in this kind of place, can't help but be a little curious about what kind of beasts are hidden in this place that is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair.

As soon as the three of them entered the door, they were spotted by a sharp-eyed bustard, who immediately walked over with her plump waist.

"Hey, three guest officers..."

The bustard who was used to the world suddenly froze after saying a few words, because she knew the young man opposite.

Wang Gangquan also recognized the other party at this time, and said with a smile:
"Hey, Mother Chen, what a coincidence!"

The middle-aged Xu Niang, who was called Mother Chen, was the one who received Wang Quanquan at Zuixinglou that day.Later, because Wang Gangquan didn't care about it, the business of Zuixinglou was not as good as it was day by day, and this mother Chen also jumped ship and moved to another house.

At this time, Mother Chen lost her usual smooth tongue, she just smiled, obviously a little afraid of Wang Gangquan.

She still remembers the scene when the other party led troops to seal the building. At that time, the other party was dressed in red, not only exuding the aura that strangers should not enter, but even one look made her feel cold all over.

Although the real identity of the other party is still unclear until now, but it can probably be guessed through rumors in the market.

"Hehe, mother Chen, don't panic. I came here today for a special purpose."

As he said that, he stuffed a bank note with a large denomination into the other party's deliberately exposed stalwart part as he did back then.

"I still follow the old rules. The most important thing is to take good care of the two masters behind me. Your money is indispensable."

"Yes Yes."

Mother Chen nodded quickly, but she didn't dare to go forward to harass the other two, because the one who could come with the man in front of her knew that her identity was not simple, maybe she was a relative of the emperor.

Brothels have always been full of high-ranking officials and nobles, but officials are divided into three, six, and nine grades. Besides, no matter how big an official is, it can't compare with any random phoenix son or grandson. Mother Chen can still distinguish this point.

I saw her politely asked:

"Second gentlemen, I wonder what kind of girls you like? We have some who are familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some who are proficient in playing and singing."

Liu Luming was in a daze at this moment, how could he understand this?So he quickly looked at Wang Bingquan, who seemed to be watching the show, and didn't seem to want to rescue him.

Seeing that he was pitiful, Lian Li spoke first, "Find me a young actress who is good at piano and chess."

When Liu Luming saw someone making samples, he immediately had a solid idea. He didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he could still listen to a piece of music.

So he also said: "Then I want someone who can blow."

The old bustard immediately smiled and said bluntly: "No problem, we have no shortage of girls who can flirt."

After finishing speaking, we went down to make arrangements.

At this time, Wang Gingquan on the side suppressed his smile and turned his head, secretly thinking that there will be some fun soon.

Even the son-in-law who was standing beside Liu Luming looked weird, but he didn't say anything.

The three went directly to the second floor, found a private room and sat down.
