he walks in the world

Chapter 55
"Brother Yi, did you hear that everyone from the Su in Sichuan has come to Gusu City?"

"But the Jade Lady of the Jade Tree Backyard Flower?"

"Besides this woman, who else can there be?"

"Where is it? If you are lucky enough to see her beauty, you are really lucky!"

"The flower boat has arrived at the Zixu River outside the city, and many of my colleagues have already gone to wait for it. I heard that the boat of Master Su will stop on the Zixu River tonight. Many brothels in Gusu City are going to hold the flower boat. I will!"

…………

Not long after they came out of the teahouse, Du Ruo and Lu Yang heard such a conversation when they were still wantonly fighting.

Lu Yang looked back at the two scribes who were walking away with their shoulders crossed in a very elegant manner, and asked, "Shan Jiang, don't you want to go and see that Jade Lady?"

Du Ruo doubted: "Who is this Jade Lady? Is she famous? I'm not interested!"

Lu Yang was very surprised and said: "No way, Shan Jiang, as a native of Shu, you don't know about Jade Lady?"

Du Ruo was a little puzzled, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this person?" Looking at Heitou behind him, he asked, "Heitou, tell me, is this Jade Lady famous? Have you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it." Heitou nodded sincerely.

Du Ruo looked at Heitou's innocent expression, then at Lu Yang's expression that you should recognize, and asked doubtfully, "Who is this Jade Lady? Is she really so famous?"

"However, even if it's famous, how can I, Ruo Du, care about some fame? It's not attractive to me."

Lu Yang looked like you were so ignorant, and said: "There is a saying in Jianghu that there are three days in Shu, one is the difficulty of the road of Shu, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky, and the other is the sword of the sword master of the Jiange, which soars ninety thousand miles. Chengfeng Yujian is amazing, as for the third day, hehe, this is the Jade Lady, the number one oiran in Sichuan, the world will be astonished as a fairy for nine days!"

Du Ruo frowned slightly, a little unbelievable, and said: "Is this so exaggerated? But she is just a prostitute, can she be compared with the sword master?"

"Of course it's just a joke," Lu Yang said with a smile: "It's just a random rumor by some good people. However, it is undeniable that Su Ruyu is known as the most beautiful woman in Sichuan, but that's it, she is really loved. What the world admires is the self-created dance called "Yushu Houting Flower", which has been praised by many famous officials in Sichuan. I don't know if it is a great Confucianist, and he said that it is rare to see her in a hundred years, but if you really say how beautiful she is, it is not necessarily true. At least she is not on the list of all-in-one martial arts critics in Jianghu Baixiaotang."

Du Ruo nodded secretly, and said: "To put it bluntly, she is a person with a bit of talent and reputation... Qingyuan, this kind of person, even if she comes to the brothel, she will not let her receive guests, and she is praised by many famous officials in Sichuan, so she is famous. gone."

Lu Yang shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's okay for you to say that, that's it, but it's just a group of so-called literary talents who are full and have nothing to do. However, this Jade Lady still has some tricks. Father and no mother, wandering in the land of fireworks, later I got older and didn't know how to do it, so I recruited a group of people who didn't want to do it... Well, anyway, I recruited a group of women to form a Qingyin workshop, all of them are Qingying People, not in the flesh and blood business, but the business is very good, and the reputation is not bad."

Du Ruo sneered and said: "This kind of world has done that kind of business. Brother, you also believe these words. Either they are trying to gain fame, or they have found a big backer behind them. Otherwise, there are many unruly people in this world. , They are a group of women, how can they be mixed in, they have been eaten to the bone and scum."

"That's the same reason." Lu Yang thought for a while and said, "Then are you going?"

"Go, why not?" Du Ruo said.

"Aren't you not interested in this jade lady?"

Du Ruo waved his sleeves, strode forward, and said, "I'm not interested in the daytime, so if I don't go now, I'll be interested in the evening, and I'll go then."

The corner of Lu Yang's mouth twitched, and he muttered, "This... is about scholars!"

…………

Gusu City, a city of rivers, has countless lakes.

This water surface has also become a place for entertainment, especially the bank of the Zixu River, which can be called the second place on the Qinhuai River, with a few miles of piers, mostly painting boats.A boat like a painting boat is not fast, like a building, with several floors up and down, but it is extremely ornately decorated.

In each painting boat, there are usually one or two noblemen, those with big reputation and those with low reputation, all of them are on the wharf for several miles.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the benefactor boarded the boat.

At this time, the feasting and feasting are intoxicating.

Swimming on a boat on a lake, drinking and having fun, beauties singing lightly, and beauties chatting are the enjoyments that literati crave for.

Today's Zixu River is even more lively. It has been crowded with people since the daytime, just because the famous Su Ruyu, the most beautiful woman in Central Sichuan, is coming. Many people flock to see her beauty and watch her dance. And to.

Although Su Ruyu is like most of the so-called celebrities and oirans in the world, she cruises to some places every year, but the number of times Su Ruyu appears is very small, and most of them are ordinary Qingying people in Qingyinfang.

Let's just say this year, this Su Ruyu has only been to Qingzhou once, and has never been out of Shuzhong again, and even in Qingyinfang in Shuzhong, I have not seen Su Ruyu appear a few times, I don't know how many literati families Brother Gongzi went away in good spirits and returned in disappointment.

However, this time Su Ruyu suddenly appeared in Gusu City. It is said that it was to cheer up this year's Prince Qiuwei. He went up the river to Jinling, passed through the famous city of Gusu, and stayed overnight.

The wharf of the Zixu River, the wharf of Fei Na, the wharf of the cargo is not on this river.Zixu River Wharf is a place for recreation.Most of the people who come and go are scholars or children of rich families. Obviously, this place is not a place that those prostitutes can compare to, nor is it a place that ordinary people can enjoy.

It is the buildings with extremely stylish decoration that make many ordinary people daunting, and the painting boats on the river are even more daunting.

Today's Zixu River, it was a lot of fun.

Especially when a brightly lit painting boat slowly came in from the gray river, it caused an absolute commotion. All private boat owners ordered to go to the painting boat with the "Qingyin" flag, and no boat Yes, they all got on the cruise ship, and many romantic scholars who were already on the boat got off the boat and rushed over.

For a moment, the painting boats in Qingyinfang seemed to be surrounded.

Just when many people arrived, a girl who looked like a servant girl in the painting boat came to the bow, saluted first, and then hung out a cloth sail.

This is the custom of Qingyinfang painting boats. It is different from ordinary painting boats where you can board the boat with a price clearly marked in silver. Boat, if you have extremely brilliant poems, you can also enjoy the highest treatment in Qingyinfang for free.

When the sails of the painting boat came down, the river became lively in an instant.

Some people are eager to try, some are buried in meditation, and some are talking.

On a small canopy boat not far from the painting boat, Du Ruo sat on the bow, dressed in white clothes like the bright moon in the sky, stretched out his hand to gently stroke the moon reflected on the river, and said with a light smile, "It's a good method, a good marketing strategy! "

Heitou rubbed his head and asked doubtfully, "My lord, what's wrong with this? What kind of marketing strategy?"

Du Ruo smiled without explaining.

Lu Yang, who was standing with his hands behind his back, smiled lightly, and said: "Your son means that Qingyinfang has become more famous, more profitable, and more popular by using this method. As for the reason, you can think for yourself, haha!"

Heitou rubbed his head, as if he really started to think.

At this time, people outside the painting boat had already begun to serve with pens and ink, and some people had already raised their heads and chests up and boarded the boat proudly, attracting many envious and admiring eyes.

Lu Yang looked down at Du Ruo, who was not moving at all, and asked, "Shan Jiang, if you want to fight or something, I'm sure it's fine, but it's up to you if it's about poetry or songs." , if you don’t come to two songs, we’ll be running in vain tonight!”

Du Ruo waved his folding fan, half-lyed on the boat, and said with a light smile, "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about, but the moonlight is so beautiful tonight, why don't you appreciate it more, why rush to get on the boat?"

Lu Yang looked up and saw that there was only half of the moonlight, and the other half was blocked by dark clouds. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said, "I'm afraid the moonlight is not too beautiful, but there are not enough people here, and there are not enough people to cheer!"

"Hey," Du Ruo closed his folding fan, and said in disbelief, "Brother, are you right? Am I that kind of person? I am an upright scholar, with a straight body and a clean sleeve. How can I be so superficial and care about the eyes of the world!"

"Really?" Lu Yang pointed at Du Ruo's clothes with a smile, and said, "Then why did you go to buy this suit during the day today, why not just wear your plain clothes? You also wear a jade crown and a jade ring, tsk tsk tsk, scholar Ah, I'm not interested in what I say, but in my heart..."

Du Ruo turned over and stood up, and said, "How can you..."

Before Du Ruo finished speaking, Lu Yang suddenly took a step forward, grabbed Du Ruo's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since it's not, then go now, Brother Blackhead, we'll go first, and you will come later and report to your son. name will do!"

"Hey, big brother... ah!"

Lu Yang didn't give Du Ruo a chance to speak at all, he just lifted it up forcefully, the boat trembled slightly, and two figures, one white and one black, jumped up, Lu Yang fell into the water with one foot, flicked every point, and flitted lightly and gracefully. Draw a boat to that.

After bouncing into the river again, the dragonfly touched the water, rushed forward gracefully, rolled up his sleeves, rolled up two water jets, and shot straight into the center of the lake. Lu Yang carried Du Ruo onto the water jets, as if riding a dragon, splashing water I don't know how much river water there is, attracting waves of scolding.

In just a few breaths, Lu Yang directly carried Du Ruo past tens of hundreds of boats, and arrived in front of the Qingyinfang painting boat.

Naturally, some people were dissatisfied with being the first to get there. However, Lu Yang directly stomped his foot on the pedal. Immediately, the surface of the river shook, as if a tide was rising, and a dark tide rolled up, shaking the nearest dozen or so covered boats out. Many ships collided.

But it was also this kick that blocked the mouths of all Youyou.

Du Ruo could only sigh, but he didn't pretend to say anything. He has done a lot of things like Mr. Du, but he is not as domineering as Lu Yang. In the past, others had heard of Mr. Du's name. He took the initiative to let go.

The big words have already been uttered, and Du Ruo has no other choice but to wave his sleeves and say loudly: "Bring a pen!"

…………

At this time, above the painting boat, on the highest floor, there were two women watching everything below the boat. One was wearing a veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but seeing her graceful figure, she must be charming. The other, It is dressed like the grinding maid outside the painting boat.

It's just that no one notices that's all. If someone acquainted sees them, they will definitely recognize them. These two people are the famous Su Ruyu, Master Su, and the other is Su Ruyu's personal maid, Lvli. Many people who follow Su Ruyu know that this Lvli and Su Ruyu's relationship is far beyond that of ordinary masters and servants, and she loves sisters. Many people like Su Ruyu's son from an aristocratic family who can't find a chance to see her beauty.

At this time, the two of them were silently watching Lu Yang and Du Ruo who were under the boat.

Su Ruyu turned her head slowly, and Lv Li gently closed the screen window, saying: "Miss, those two people... No, the man in black is not simple in martial arts, or else, let's not let them board the boat, if they come out later Accidents are bad."

A river wind blew, and gently lifted Su Ruyu's veil, revealing her bright lips and bright teeth, her voice was like an orchid in an empty valley: "Don't make trouble, that person is not simple, even if you don't let him board the boat, he won't listen, Maybe there will be even bigger troubles, and not only the man in black, but also the weak scholar, also reveals a kind of rebelliousness, let's follow the rules, if his poems are qualified, they will not be allowed to go I’m afraid there will be an accident.”

"But," Lv Li pursed her lips, scratched her little head, and said, "But, that man's martial arts are too high, if he tries to stop us later, then..."

"It shouldn't be such a coincidence. In addition, you should inform everyone, let everyone be quicker, stay hidden, and don't provoke these two people."

"Yes."

Lvli bowed and walked out slowly.

Su Ruyu turned her head slightly, frowned slightly, and looked down the Zixu River with some worry.

…………

On the lower reaches of the Zixu River, five or six tented boats are coming upstream at a fast pace. There are more than a dozen gangsters holding ice blades on these boats. Almost every one of them has some wounds on their bodies, and they all maintain absolute vigilance. , and the position of these boats is also very particular, faintly surrounding the tented boat in the middle, forming a corner of protection.

On the tented boat in the middle, there were two oarsmen at the stern, both armed with waist knives, and a young man in plain clothes sat in the middle of the bow, holding a Tang saber that had been unsheathed, and a trace of it. blood.

The river wind blew the robe, and the young man had both hands on the handle of the knife, but only nine fingers.
