I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

The ring is fat, the swallows are thin, and the sound of warblers and swallows makes people happy to miss Shu, and would rather be drunk here.

The group sat on the left side of the hall, and Ma Yun then introduced: "Brother Gu, these three brothers are all Xiaosheng's friends, this is Jin Dong, this is Wang Shunfeng, and this is Ren Huawei."

"Long time, long time!"

Gu Ming smiled and arched his hands.

At this time, the old lady came over in a hurry, squeezed the orchid fingers and shook the Luopa in her hand, and the powder on her face was like snow when she smiled.

"Hey, Mr. Ma is a rare visitor, and I'm afraid he hasn't come here for a few months."

"Hehe, I've been busy with memorization recently and don't have time to come and call a few girls. Remember to call me Miss Ruyan. Mr. Gu is a distinguished guest, and vulgar fans don't like it."

"Anything you want," Gu Ming couldn't help but smiled.

It's just a joke, it's not that particular, as long as it doesn't affect your appetite.

After all, the picture of drinking flowers and wine is romantic, not necessarily that kind of thing.

"Mr. Ma is really discerning. Please wait a moment, sir. I will arrange it right away."

As soon as the old lady left, Ma Yun explained to Gu Ming: "Miss Ruyan is one of the two big oirans of this boat.

The other one is called Ru Hua, who looks like a flower and a jade, but compared to Ru Yan, she is still a bit inferior after all.”

After a while, the old lady came over with a few girls showing off their tricks.

Gu Ming raised his eyes and couldn't help being stunned.

The one walking beside the old lady was obviously Ruyan, and the others followed behind.

The reason why Gu Ming was a little dazed was because this Ruyan girl was somewhat similar to Hongxiu, and they both belonged to the kind of girl who is supported by the willows in the weak wind, and the little bird clings to others.

If it wasn't for the short interval, I really doubt whether it is the reincarnation of Hongxiu.

It would be too sad if that were the case.

In the previous life, she met a heartbroken man and died in depression, and in this life she has fallen into prostitution again.

"Ruyan has met all the young masters!"

As soon as she arrived at the table, Ruyan turned sideways and saluted.

Several other girls also greeted each other.

"You have to serve these young masters well"

The old lady said hello, and then left.

"Ruyan, sit next to Mr. Gu"

Ma Yun smiled and raised his hand to signal.

"Yes"

Ruyan responded, then sat down next to Gu Ming, and took up the jug to pour wine for Gu Ming.

Then he poured himself another cup, and raised his cup: "Ruyan respects you, young master!"

After the two drank it all in one gulp, Ma Yun couldn't help but smiled: "Brother Gu, if you think the hall is noisy, you can go to Miss Ruyan's boudoir to have a chat.

Girl Ruyan is multi-talented and artistic, and she is quite accomplished in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Young Master Ma, thank you!"

Ruyan replied modestly.

"Thank you, brother Yun, for your kindness. Drinking is more lively."

Of course Gu Ming understood what Ma Yun meant, if he and Ruyan went to the room alone, it meant that they were not just chatting about romance.

On a whim, they might draw their swords and face each other.

"Hahaha, that's fine, come on, girls, let's raise a glass to Master Gu!"

In addition to the hall on the painting boat, there are many private rooms upstairs, or the girl's own room on the boat.

However, many people who come here still like to drink in the hall, which has a stronger atmosphere.

After drinking for three rounds, under Xu Jiaying's proposal, the group took advantage of the wine and began to recite poems and compose Fu.

Ma Yun is the host, so he will start first.

Of course, those girls also have to join in the fun, after all, what they want to come to this party is this kind of tune, otherwise why waste money?

It doesn't matter if you chant well or not, the key is to participate.

Ruyan also recited an oiran is an oiran after all, and the verses she recited are not inferior to those of other scholars.

In the end it was Gu Ming's turn, which also meant that he was the grand finale of tonight.

After thinking for a while, Gu Ming slowly chanted a poem:

"It's not that I love Fengchen, it seems to be misunderstood by the front

When the flowers fall and the flowers bloom naturally, always Lai Dongjun

If you go, you must go, and if you live, you will live

If you have mountain flowers all over your head, don't ask where your slaves will go. "

This poem was originally written by a woman named Yan Rui in Gu Ming's previous life in the Southern Song Dynasty.

This girl is extremely talented, and she is proficient in piano, chess, singing and dancing, silk bamboo, calligraphy and painting. Unfortunately, her fate is not good, and she has fallen into prostitution.

Later, he was arrested and imprisoned for an unjust case, and would rather die than surrender.

Fortunately, the court and the public were alarmed after the case, and the emperor personally issued an order to release Yan Rui.When the host official asked about his whereabouts, Yan Rui composed this poem on the spot to answer.

The implication is that although I have fallen into prostitution, it is not what I want, but it is caused by fate.

The words on this scene can be regarded as corresponding to the scene.

"Miaozai, Miaozai! Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu is also such a person who loves flowers and cherishes jade. Xiaosheng should toast you!"

Jin Dong clapped his hands and raised his hands to toast.

"Hahaha, my younger brother has already said that Mr. Gu is brilliant, and he speaks well. Now everyone is convinced?"

Ma Yun laughed happily and said to the crowd.

"Ru Yan also offers a cup to the young master, thank you young master for singing such a good sentence for us poor girls."

"We also respect Mr. Gu for a cup."

Several girls toasted each other with red eyes.

This poem hit their heart on time.

If it wasn't for special reasons, which innocent daughter's family would be willing to fall into this place of fireworks, pretending to be happy, with a pair of jade arms as a pillow for thousands of people, and a little bit of red lips for thousands of guests to taste?

"Where is Miss Ruyan? Hurry up and call me out!"

Suddenly, a domineering shout sounded in the hall.

"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Lin? Seeing that your face is flushed from drinking, you must have met a happy event today, right?"

The old lady hurried forward to meet her, and flattered her lightly.

"Stop talking nonsense, can't you hear what my master said? Call out Ruyan girl!"

A servant who was accompanying him yelled at the old lady pretending to be a tiger.

"Master Lin, what a coincidence, Miss Ruyan has a guest tonight"

the other side.

Jin Dong put down his wine glass heavily, and drank in a low voice: "This dog official, came out to play drunk again."

"Hehe, otherwise, how could he be called Lin Quode."

Wang Shunfeng happily answered.

"Lin Quode? How come there are people with such a strange name?"

"Ha, that's not his real name, it's just a nickname given by everyone. This dog official's real name is Lin Youde. He often eats and drinks for free outside, and puts what he says on the account, but he never pays the bill."

"That's right, I don't know how many brothels in Yuhang Mansion have suffered, but they can't afford to offend them."

Hearing this discussion, Gu Ming's heart moved: "You said, this guy's name is Lin Youde?"

"That's right, nicknamed wicked, dog officer"

"Then he won the election nine years ago, and then married a daughter of an official family?"

"I heard that's the case, why did Brother Gu suddenly think of asking about this dog official?"

"Indescribable!"

Gu Ming squinted at Lin Youde.

It really is that Yuanjia Road is narrow, and unexpectedly met the beast who abandoned Hongxiu here, making Zhixiang disappear and jade die.

Such things that are not as good as beasts, it's fine if you don't meet them, if you meet them, you might as well take the opportunity to clean them up, and the acquaintance with Hongxiu is not in vain.

"Master Lin, Miss Ruyan really has a guest tonight, why don't Master Lin change her?"

The old lady was extremely disgusted in her heart, but she had to explain with a smile on her face.

At this time, Ruyan stepped forward.

"I've seen Master Lin!"

"Hahaha, how dare you lie to me? Isn't Miss Ruyan here?"

"This"

The old lady glanced at Ma Yun and the others suspiciously.

As a result, Ma Yun and his party were busy drinking and ordering, and they looked like they didn't care.

That being the case, the old lady can't say anything more, she can only admit that she is unlucky.

"Master Lin, please sit down and have a cup of tea first, and Ruyan go to dress up before accompanying him."

"Hahaha, okay, with Ruyan girl by my side, why not wait a little longer?"

Generally speaking, most officials are very low-key when they come to the brothel for recreation. They not only wear casual clothes, but also do not call themselves officials.

After all, the imperial court has relevant prohibitions.

However, this ban is in vain.Not to mention local officials, even those important ministers in the capital will still go if they should.

There are even gossips circulating that even the emperor sometimes visits brothels in private

It's just that everyone tacitly acted in a low-key manner.

It is really rare to see such a high-profile person like Lin Youde.

After a cup of tea, a maid walked up to Lin Youde and gave a blessing: "Master Lin, Miss Ruyan is here to invite you."

"Great, you don't have to follow, I will go up by myself."

Lin Youde yelled at the two subordinates, and stepped up the stairs with a blushing face.

at this time.

In the smoky boudoir.

"Young Master Gu, nothing will happen if you do this?"

"Don't worry, he has ghosts in his heart. After taking care of him this time, he dare not come back. At least, he dare not pester Miss Ruyan again."

"That's good!" Ru Yan nodded in relief.

There is no girl in the vicinity who does not hate Lin Youde.

Although this guy is a juren and an eighth-rank official, he doesn't have the demeanor and bearing of a scholar.

It's fine if you don't give money, and if you feel dissatisfied, you can beat or scold the girl.

It is said that this is because Lin Youde is a doormat at home.

Back then, in order to covet prosperity and wealth, he did not hesitate to join his wife's family. Under the control of his father-in-law, he filled a vacancy of an eighth-rank idle position in Yuhang Mansion, and he willingly ate soft food.

His wife is a well-known shrew. She is tall and thick, with big arms and round waists. Even ordinary men may not be her opponents.

In short, Lin Pengde has almost no status in the woman's family.
