Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Wang Heng was a little confused when he heard this. He could count the girls he knew on the palm of his hand, but he really couldn't remember Miss Yang.

Xiaocai was even more confused.

Zhao Zhanyun thought for a while and suddenly said: "Miss Yang Ai is the confidante of Mr. Zhang Wu, Shangshu. She said that she met you at the Huqiu Conference for Xingshe."

"Oh, it's her." In his memory, he was a handsome young man. At that time, Wang Heng saw through that she was disguised as a man. It was right that she was Mr. Zhang's confidante. Therefore, everyone knew it and no one said anything.

Zhao Zhanyun was very talkative, and he met fellow villagers on a road trip, so he invited his fellow travelers to Songling and told him roughly about the scene when he returned to his home in Shengze after leaving last year.

Yang Ai was originally a girl who returned to her home. A few years ago, she deregistered her citizenship and joined the Prime Minister Zhou's mansion. Because she was very favored by the old lady of the Prime Minister, she was not allowed to be a woman in the back house. Now she has been released and is living alone. She is renting a house in Songling. There is a big garden called Qiuyi Garden, and there is a small opera troupe in the garden.

Zhao Zhanyun said sternly: "Don't underestimate Miss Yang. She is really a strange woman who doesn't show off her beauty."

Wang Heng said with a smile: "The person Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao both love must be a rare beauty."

Zhao Zhanyun suddenly realized something was wrong. He changed the topic with a smile and asked about the current situation in his hometown. He heard that Brother Chenyu's only son Xiaozanyu had been doing a hundred days last month. He kept calling him rude and asked his wife to go. Wang Yamen made up a congratulatory gift.

Talking and joking all the way, we arrived at the north gate of Songling before we knew it.

Going to Qiuyi Garden, he and Cheng Zhai parted ways at the entrance of the alley. Zhao Zhanyun invited Wang Heng and Xiaocai to go in and meet Miss Yang for a while. Wang Heng excused himself because he had something to do. There was already a young boy from Qiuyi Garden waiting in front of the door. Zhao Zhanyun's carriage came in and he stepped forward and said, "Master Zhao has worked hard all the way. We, Miss Yang, Miss Xing from Yangliu'an, and Miss Yuan from Feiyun Class have all been waiting for a long time."

"Feiyun class." Wang Heng and Xiaocai's eyes lit up. They couldn't find anything after wearing iron shoes. It took no effort to get there.

Zhao Zhanyun pulled Wang Heng and said: "If Miss Yang knew that you were not allowed to enter, she would definitely be displeased. She would have quit her citizenship a long time ago. Her garden is not like Qinlou Chuguan, so it will not stain your reputation."

Wang Heng took advantage of the situation and got off the green donkey and asked the young man from the Yang family to take it and take care of it.

The maid of the Yang family was waiting at the Chuihua Gate and said, "My lady is setting up a tea banquet in Baixiang Garden, waiting for Mr. Zhao."

The Qiuyi Garden is quite large. After walking for a long time, we arrived at the Baixiang Garden. It was a pergola with a book of white wood flowers that had been growing for many years. It was not the season when the wood flowers were blooming. The green and dense shade was filled with the fragrance of tea.

There are several small round tables placed under the wooden incense stand, and three young girls are gathered together. The beauty in a silver-red shirt tilts her head to look at the dragonflies, the girl in a lotus-colored armor is playing time, and the one in a moon-white robe is Yang Aili. Talking and laughing under the flower stand.

The girl, who is more rosy than her armor, is vaguely the female lead in "The Lion" at Mohuazhuang.

When they saw someone coming from the flower path, they stood up one after another.

Yang Ai greeted diligently: "Mr. Zhao is here, please sit in this compartment."

Zhao Zhanyun introduced: "These two Wang brothers are Wang Qi Gongzi and Xiaocai. They are both the descendants of Master Zhang Wu."

Yang Ai glanced at Wang Heng and Xiaocai, smiled slightly, stood up and blessed.

The other two beauties followed suit and blessed the visitor. At the last Tiger Hill Conference, they still called each other brothers. No matter how vague the title was, it was a bit awkward. Xiaocai did not attend the Tiger Hill Conference, so they both bowed and regarded themselves as Zhao Zhanyun's followers. Same.

The three of them were obviously very familiar with Zhao Zhanyun. Zhao Zhanyun took out a bamboo flute and asked Yang Ai to sing "Handan Ji" by He Xiangu for flower appreciation, and asked Miss Xing to sing "Handan Ji". Jin Tangyue sung by the matchmaker in "The Romance of the West Chamber", and finally asked Miss Yuan to sing the Nanchuan Bochu sung by Xi Shi in "The Story of Huansha".

In the ears of Wang Heng and Xiaocai, the songs they sang were naturally melodious and melodious. In terms of style and chic, it was Yang Aizhan who was the most beautiful. In terms of appearance alone, it was Miss Xing who was the most beautiful.

Zhao Zhanyun was an expert. He pondered for a moment and said, "Ayuan, you have been working very hard recently, and your pronunciation and pronunciation have improved."

Xiaocai shouted: "Miss Yuan, I am a fan of your theater. I watched your "Lion's Roar" at Mohua Village in Yunjian County."

Miss Yuan said in surprise: "What a coincidence, our Feiyun class has only performed twice in Mohua Village."

"This." Xiaocai paused and felt that something was wrong. He thought that the Feiyun Troupe was not the theater troupe invited by Mohua Village to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. He remembered that he watched the two-day opera on August 34th. Could it be that they only performed asked these two performances: "Your team didn't perform during the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th?"

Miss Yuan said: "Originally, the performance was supposed to last for three days. Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the class leader said that Mr. Xue Si would pay us the money and asked us to call it a day and return to Suzhou."

Xiaocai was surprised and said: "Who is this Mr. Xue Si? Why is he so untrustworthy?"

Miss Yuan was a little embarrassed and said: "Our team was originally called to Mohua Village by Chaobei to help Mr.

Wang Heng suddenly interrupted and asked: "Miss Yuan, is there a young and beautiful official lady around Mr. Xue Si?"

Miss Yuan stopped talking, looking at Wang Heng and Xiaocai with doubts in her eyes. Zhao Zhanyun hurriedly said: "A Yuan, the seventh young master Wang is a serious official. Whatever you know, don't tell them anything." Know."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao." Ms. Yuan recalled a little bit: "The head of Xue Si did bring a young girl, who looked very upright, and a little maid. I heard the maid call her Third Miss, but , In my humble opinion, that girl is probably not a young lady. Except for her clothes and gestures, she doesn’t look like an official lady, and her literacy is very limited."

Wang Heng asked: "If we want to meet Master Xue Si, where should we go?"

Miss Yuan smiled and said: "I'm afraid this won't be easy. You can go and bring a message to the Chaobei Gang, but it's hard to say whether Mr. Xue Si is willing to see you."

"Thank you, Miss Yuan." Wang Heng bowed deeply and then stopped repeating the topic.

He sat down and had a cup of tea quietly, listening to Mr. Zhao talk about some music theory. Seeing the sun setting in the west, he stood up and said goodbye to Yang Ai. Zhao Zhanyun couldn't help but said: "I'll see you off on behalf of Miss Yang."

Wang Heng and Xiaocai asked him to stay but were refused. Zhao Zhanyun went all the way to Qiuyi Garden Gate.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Zhanyun hesitated and said: "If the Seventh Young Master sees Mr. Zhang Wu, even if he cannot remember, he will also remind him to send people to bring fans, toys and other objects to Qiuyi Garden from time to time. Mr. Zhang Wu is the leader of Shilin and the leader of the Xingshe Party. Many people are watching his every move. If Miss Yang loses his backer, she will not be able to support these scenes alone. After all, she is also the person Mr. Zhang Wu is proud of. "

Wang Heng said: "Mr. Zhao, I know everything. There are many suffering people in the world. When I see Mr. Zhang later, I will tell him what I said here."
