[Eastern] Xiaoao ol tour

Today is September [-]th, Double Ninth Festival.Nanke climbed high and looked far away, only a touch of melancholy remained after sighing.

After coming to this world for more than two years, the past has gradually faded away.

Maybe it's not forgotten, but it's just sealed in the bottom of my heart; maybe one day in the future when I suddenly recall it, I will hold a cup of tea and look back carefully.

The night was clear.Still the first quarter moon, cool and bright.

Nan Ke was alone in the courtyard, surrounded by wine jars.He was the only one who toasted to the moon and invited the shadows into three.

Nan Ke drank for a long time.As long as the moon is full in the west building, everything is silent.

The door bolt in the courtyard moved slightly.Nan Ke paused while drinking, turned his head to stare at the gate of the courtyard, and played with the wine glass with one hand.

His eyes are slightly careless.

The moonlight filled the courtyard, and the light was sufficient and bright.And the five thieves who entered were dressed in black night clothes, so they were very conspicuous.Judging from their stature, they were the five people who pretended to be disciples of the God Sect and came to blackmail them that day.

Thinking about it, he must have felt dissatisfied, so he simply entered the house in the middle of the night to steal...with a knife?Oh, do you still want to kill people?

Nan Ke propped his head on one hand, and sneered: "Everyone come to my teahouse at night, what advice do you have?"

The five people were shocked when they heard the sound.Eyes full of horror stared at the man in the black gown under the moonlight.Then they looked at each other, and then seemed to have decided on something, they all nodded heavily, and suddenly raised their knives and slashed at Nan Ke.

The wine glass flew out and hit a person in the head, knocking him unconscious.Immediately, the blood donation splashed, and the other four were so scared that they almost couldn't hold the knife.With another hand, he cut off the knife that was about to hit his body, and raised his hand to stun the two of them.

Nan Ke smiled sarcastically: "Surrender yourself, or should I go with you?"

The two were shocked, turned around and wanted to escape.However, two stones came out out of thin air, and sealed the acupoints of the two at the same time.Then one person flew down to the roof, took the rope and tied up the five people.

Nan Ke's expression remained unchanged: "Little brother's skills are really good."

The white-clothed boy finished tying up, grinning and clapping his hands.Hearing this, he solemnly saluted Nan Ke with a solemn expression: "Compared to Nan Ke's boss, Ah Qi feels inferior."

Nan Ke stared at him for a long time, then said slowly, "Scholar?"

The young man in front of him looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. If he remembered correctly, this young man was the little bookboy who was by Duguying's side during the day.

Probably because he really drank too much, so his vision is slightly blurred.

Young Master Tsing Yi leaned against the courtyard door which was already wide open, and laughed: "On the surface, Ah Qi is indeed a book boy."

Ah Qi rolled her eyes: "Actually it is!"

Nan Ke narrowed his eyes slightly. "Mr. Dugu also comes to my teahouse to enjoy the moon?"

With her hands behind her back, Duguying walked slowly in front of Nan Ke, staring at him with interest: "I came here this time to discuss business with Boss Nan Ke."

Nan Ke raised his eyes to see the moonlight in the sky. "What kind of business needs to be discussed in the middle of the night?"

Hearing this, Ah Qi sneered unceremoniously.Only Gu Ying sat with his sleeves thrown, with a suave look on his face: "This business is suitable anytime and anywhere. It's just that I happened to pass by an alley today and heard that these five people wanted to harm Brother Nan Ke. I was worried in my heart. He couldn't even fall asleep at all, so he simply ordered Ah Qi to come and help." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows again: "However, I seem to have underestimated Brother Nan Ke!"

Nan Ke was slightly drunk, and his smile deepened.He shook the wine glass in his hand: "Have a drink?"

Duguying smiled: "Okay."

Asking Ah Qi to sit down together, Nan Ke poured two glasses of wine for them.Then he stopped talking and drank by himself.

"Alone as a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my relatives a lot during the festive season." In the night wind, Dugu Ying's voice was slightly erratic. "It's September [-]th of the year again, the Double Ninth Festival. Alas, it's a pity that I'm far away in Daming, so I can't have a glass of wine with my confidantes!"

The book boy taunted: "Hmph, a bunch of cronies are working together!"

Hearing this, Nan Ke said calmly, "Where are you from?"

"People from the capital." After a pause, Duguying asked back, "What about you?"

"native."

Duguying said suspiciously: "Brother Nanke's accent sounds like a famous person."

Putonghua became popular in later generations, but they are not used to speaking their hometown dialect.Nan Ke was silent.After a while, toast and drink.

Ah Qi thought it was a waste of time to drink, so he poured a small cup and drank slowly.Duguying took a sip of her drink, then smiled: "Isn't Boss Nanke not interested in his status as a subordinate?"

Nan Ke was silent.

Just as Duguying was about to speak, Ah Qi snorted first: "What's interesting, but he's the grandson of a cabinet minister and a runaway dude!"

Duguying: "..."

Nan Ke frowned: "Cabinet minister...Liu Ji?"

It is true that Liu Ji's grandson Liu Ying fled the capital for unknown reasons before, which aroused Liu Ji's anger.He even exaggerated to the point of asking the emperor to dispatch Jin Yiwei, but the emperor rejected it.

Liu Ji was a Jinshi in the orthodox 13th year, and became a cabinet member in the 11th year of Chenghua.This person's corpse is a vegetarian, extremely thick-skinned, sinister and cunning, and is very disliked by the world.However, he is good at managing and figuring out the ruler's intentions, so his official career is prosperous.

Unexpectedly, Duguying's identity is so amazing.

Duguying coughed in embarrassment: "Ahem, actually I'm just the most unfavorable illegitimate child..." Duguying's biological mother was just a maidservant, and Liu Ji's second son got married overnight.

This marriage is not groundless.It is said that Emperor Xiaozong wanted to change the position of the chief assistant in the cabinet, and the political enemies temporarily put aside their enmity and united for the benefit.But after all, they are political enemies, so it is absolutely impossible to sacrifice the backbone of the family to marry.Dugu Ying, who looked the most well-dressed among the third generation, was the first to bear the brunt.

If that woman looks like a fairy, that's all.Unexpectedly, Ah Qiye brought back a frightening news after visiting the Shangshu's mansion.

——Miss Shangshu is very ugly.Very ugly!It's so ugly that it can even scare a cow to death!

Duguying packs her bags without hesitation, and runs away from home overnight.When Liu Ji knew about it, he had fled the capital.Unable to catch up, Liu Ji could only watch Duguying escape little by little, and then angrily sent off his third grandson to marry Master Shangshu.That being the case, it could have come to an end.However, Liu Ji thought that the juniors in the family dared to challenge his dignity, so he was determined not to let him off lightly.With all powers of the family, he vowed to bring him back.

Duguying said something briefly, but her facial expressions stopped.

Nan Ke continued thoughtfully: "So, you want me to take you in?"

A gleam flashed in Duguying's eyes, and he squinted and smiled: "No! Boss Nanke knows that there is such a 'Wanhua Pavilion' in Daming City!"

Nan Ke was stunned. "brothel?"

When Ah Qi heard this, her expression was slightly subtle.Raising his eyes to look at Duguying, there is noye between his eyebrows and eyes.

Duguying's expression was calm: "Exactly! A few days ago, my younger brother had a very happy conversation with the proprietress of the Wanhua Pavilion, knowing that she was exhausted in her words, and seemed to want to go back to the fields. My younger brother was born with pity and tenderness. Seeing how pitiful she is, I really want to solve it for her." this problem."

Nan Ke laughed out loud: "You want to buy that brothel... so you asked me to borrow money?"

Duguying laughed, and regardless of Ah Qi's collapsed expression, she said calmly: "To be honest, my younger brother claims to be a bit talented in business. The Wanhua Pavilion has a good prospect, not to mention it is best used to avoid being hunted at home. .”

Nan Ke drank the last glass of wine: "How much do you want?"

"1000 taels!"

"How much profit do you plan to give me?"

Duguying said without hesitation, "You are six and I am four."

"make a deal."

Seeing that Nan Ke responded so simply, Dugu Ying showed surprise on his face: "Huh?"

Nan Ke took out a thousand tael bank note from the package, and said, "1000 tael, you four and I six."

Duguying's eyes were dull: "...Brother Nan Ke, isn't he afraid that my little brother will deceive you?"

Nan Ke shook his head: "I suddenly became interested in you."

1000 taels: ordinary families live their entire lives, but wealthy families just miss it.There is at least 6000 taels of silver in the Nanke package, and the teahouse is not losing money.He didn't intend to live like this for the rest of his life, so even if the 1000 taels were in vain, it was nothing more than that.

There has been a saying since ancient times, don't use doubtful people, and don't doubt employing people.This Duguying looks like a playboy, but Nan Ke feels that this person and his book boy are unfathomable.

Duguying laughed when he heard this.The eyebrows are full of complacency: "It's hard to find a confidant with a blue face in this world...I never thought that I would be attracted to men too!"

Nan Ke: "..."

Ah Qi turned her head, and sprayed all the rice wine in her mouth on Duguying's face with a "poof".

[PS: Liu Ji did have such a person in history. He served as the chief assistant of the cabinet for more than 10 years and stepped down in 1492.As for Duguying~ the plot needs it, so I made it up... The textual research party expresses pia to me...]

The next day, Duguying bought the Wanhua Pavilion in the west of the city and closed it for rectification.In just three days, the "Wanhua Pavilion", which was exuding an obscene and rotten atmosphere, took on a completely new look.

Nan Ke stepped in, and saw that the private room was reset in the building.The private room is decorated with elegant and refreshing, bustling and eye-catching, and chic and freehand...

Each has its own merits and unique taste.

Nan Ke nodded, handed it over to Duguying, and then went back to his teahouse.

The third day of November is Mr. Qi's fiftieth birthday, and Nan Ke was invited to watch the ceremony.The old man was an old friend with the former owner of the teahouse, and he admired Nan Ke very much, so he took care of the teahouse a lot.Nan Ke couldn't resist his kindness either.

Mr. Qi resigned in June, and now he wants to experience the artistic conception of Zhang Kejiu's "what's going on in the mountains, wine made with pine flowers, tea brewed with spring water".So at the banquet, he said goodbye even regardless of relatives and friends.

Nan Ke laughed.Although Qi Lao is old, he is still unwilling to admit defeat.

Walking leisurely to the door of the teahouse, he felt a bloody smell rushing towards his face.Nan Ke's expression changed instantly, and he quickly walked into the teahouse.

Nanke handed over all the troublemakers in the vicinity to the government, and then worked hard for three months, and the teahouse finally returned to its former bustle.However, at this moment, there was only a gloomy feeling, the porcelain cups were scattered all over the floor, and there was not a single customer in the building.The two guys hid behind the counter, their faces pale and trembling. When they saw Nan Ke coming back, they remembered the strength that Nan Ke showed that day, and their faces looked a little better.

Nan Ke's face was stern, and his eyes moved to his seat.

A man in red was sitting on the seat.The man looked about 27 or [-] years old, with a slight displeasure between his brows.He didn't move extra, just looked down at Changqin Yuanli with focused eyes, just like looking at the treasures in the world.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man in red raised his eyes, which were as black and bright as black jade.His eyebrows are thin but extremely thick, like swords flying obliquely into his temples; the curvature of his jaw is sharp, and his fear is hard to describe.However, his eyes flickered, and his red lips seemed to be smiling, but they were a little more charming.

However, with the sudden movement of raising his head, the darkness of the tea house instantly faded away.

——It seems that in the world, there is only this red dress in front of me.

Nan Ke moved his lips: "...Xu!"
