evil tiger marries husband

Chapter 12 Courtship "Quatrains"

As night fell, the three of Meng Lianpeng walked faster and turned into a small alley after a while.

The two followed to the entrance of the alley, and saw that the long and narrow old alley was dark and quiet, and at intervals, there was a small red lantern hanging in the center for lighting.

Thinking that he would see his sweetheart soon, Zhang Ehu danced with joy and said, "So Miss Meng's family lives here!"

Bai Yingyang had heard about this alley, it was called Mudan Alley, it was a cul-de-sac alley, and there was only one family in it, so he couldn't help frowning.

Zhang Ehu walked a few steps into the alley, and found that Bai Yingyang was still standing outside, beckoning: "Come quickly."

The two of them came to a corner, turned to the end of the alley, there was a house on the right, the gate was closed, and eight silk gauze glazed palace lanterns were hung on the eaves, illuminating the surroundings brightly, allowing people to clearly see the house above the gate. On the plaque, the four characters "Fuyin Pavilion" are written in gold lacquer.

The three of Meng Lianpeng from Xianjin Lane were nowhere to be seen at this time, so they entered the house naturally.

Bai Yingyang murmured: "She really lives here?"

Zhang Ehu said: "What did you say?"

Bai Yingyang hesitated and said, "Do you know where this is?"

Zhang Ehu looked at the plaque and said: "Wuyin Pavilion."

Bai Yingyang said: "That character reads 'Fu'."

Zhang Ehu didn't know many words, and he always read the words he didn't know while reading, and didn't read in the middle. If he read it wrong, he was wrong, so he didn't care, and said, "So what?"

Bai Yingyang frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, the Fuyin Pavilion...is the most famous brothel in the south of the Yangtze River."

Zhang Ehu was taken aback, and shouted: "Is this a brothel?"

Bai Yingyang nodded and said, "Exactly."

Zhang Ehu tremblingly said: "You mean...she...is a brothel girl?"

Bai Yingyang said: "I dare not say it must be, but most of the people who live here are not girls from the Shiliang family."

Zhang Ehu said: "She's a prostitute...prostitute...prostitute..." He still couldn't say the last word.

Bai Yingyang couldn't bear it, and comforted her: "She doesn't dare to tell you where she lives, and she doesn't allow Lianpeng to bring you to see her, because she is afraid that you will know your identity."

Zhang Ehu was stunned and said: "She is afraid that I will know my identity...why?"

Bai Yingyang said: "She likes you in her heart, she must be afraid that you will know that she is a brothel girl and look down on her, so she dare not reveal the truth."

Zhang Ehu said in a daze: "She... likes me..." After staying for a long time, he suddenly jumped into a rage and said, "How can I look down on her? I'll go in and tell her that I like her too!" Striding up the steps, he stretched out his hand Slam on the door.

Bai Yingyang saw that he looked like a hungry tiger rushing to eat, fearing that the person who opened the door would be scared to death on the spot, so he hurried forward and pushed him aside.

The door opened in a moment, and the person who opened the door was a young man in blue, with good features and joy.Beside him were two little maids, each carrying a lantern to light up. Behind the maids stood a burly man with a swollen face, as fierce as Zhang Ehu.

Bai Yingyang guessed that the big man was the guardian of the brothel, welcoming guests in this dark alley. The fierce appearance can mostly scare away or restrain the perpetrators.

Sure enough, the big man in the nursing home saw a slender and beautiful young man in front of him. Although he was also a burly man with him, he stood at the side in a well-behaved manner. He didn't seem to be here to make trouble, so he immediately stepped back and let them in .

The two entered the door, and saw a winding cobblestone path in front of them. Peach trees were planted on both sides of the path, and some peach blossoms were still blooming on the branches, but there were more peach blossoms falling on the ground than on the branches.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ehu recalled what Meng Qiaozhuang said, "The peach blossoms in the old spring will fall, and the hibiscus will come out in midsummer." He clapped his hands and laughed, "Look, little white sheep, the peach blossoms have already fallen, and the hibiscus will come out soon." , Miss Meng is that hibiscus flower!"

Right now, the candlelight in front of the door was dim, and the counselor, the second servant girl, and the big man in the hospital didn't see the burly man's face clearly, they only thought he was Bai Yingyang's bodyguard, now that he spoke, the four of them immediately recognized that it was the evil tiger guard from Meilong County With a long voice, his expression changed instantly.

Bai Yingyang snorted, "What are you afraid of? The Chief Bao is here to play. Doesn't Fuyin Pavilion welcome the Chief Bao?"

The counselor hurriedly said: "Don't dare, dare not! Baochang, Mr. Bai, please come inside!"

The cobblestone path in the peach blossom forest forks from time to time, and the two of them followed Mr. Consultant, passing through many forks, and finally arrived in front of a two-story attic with the words "Hai Guihong" written on the door.

Mr. Counselor led the two of them to the private room, and there was already a little girl tremblingly offering refreshments.

Zhang Ehu only drank and didn't eat in Wanli Liuxiang, but now he was anxious to see his sweetheart, and he didn't feel hungry, so he took a sip of tea, and said straight to the point: "I'm here to find Miss Mengqiao Zhuangmeng, does she live here?"

The counselor hurriedly laughed and said, "Miss Meng is a girl from our family, so she is naturally here."

Bai Yingyang secretly said: "As expected, I did not guess wrong."

Zhang Ehu felt that Bai Yingyang's analysis was reasonable from outside the door. He entered the gate, walked through the peach blossom forest, came to "Houguihong", and entered the elegant room. On the way, he had already accepted the fact that Meng Qiaozhuang was a brothel girl. At this moment Hearing the confirmation from Mr. Consultant again, he was no longer surprised, and said, "I want to see her, so take me to see her."

At this moment, the door curtain was lifted from the outside, and a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old walked in, dressed in a green shirt, with a handsome face.

The counselor said with a smile: "Master, you are here."

The young man in green shirt said with a smile: "Master Zhang Dabao from Meilong County comes to the humble house, and I will greet him personally, so I will not lose my courtesy." He waved his hand and ordered him to step down, and smiled and bowed to Zhang and Bai: "Baochang, Bai Young master, it's natural to be in Xiayan, it's polite here."

Seeing that he was about the same age as Bai Yingyang, Zhang Ehu asked, "Young Master Yan, are you the bustard here?"

"Buddhist" is a contemptuous term for brothel bosses from outsiders. Although everyone knows it well, customers generally don't call it like this in person. They call it "mother, nanny, uncle, father-in-law" politely, and at least call it politely. Boss, Zhang Ehu called it so, Yan Tianran couldn't help frowning, and said: "No, the boss is my mother."

Zhang Ehu said: "Then tell your mother to come out."

Yan Tianran said: "If the Chief Bao has any orders, let me tell you."

Zhang Ehu said: "Are you in charge?"

Yan Tianran smiled and said, "It's done."

Zhang Ehu said: "Very well, take me to see Miss Meng."

Yan Tianran chuckled and said, "It's not impossible for the Chief Bao to see Miss Meng."

Zhang Ehu said: "What?"

Yan Tianran said: "Excuse me, Bao Zhang, do you know about the 'immortal in the painting'?"

Zhang Ehu said: "What 'immortal in the painting'?"

Yan Tianran said: "So you don't know, but has the Baochang heard of "The Picture of the Best Oiran in the World"?"

Zhang Ehu said: "Little white sheep, have you heard of this picture?"

Bai Yingyang said: "I've heard that this painting was painted by Lu Hong, a well-known painter in the Wumen Mansion."

Zhang Ehu said: "Lu Hong? This name is quite familiar."

Bai Yingyang said: "You don't remember, we have a lot of his calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse of Baojia Mansion."

Zhang Ehu said: "Ah, yes, I remembered."

Bai Yingyang said: "It is said that this painter Lu is extremely good at painting. He can paint people's portraits with just a glance, and no one can find fault with them. , but I haven't seen it."

Yan Tianran was surprised: "This painting is sold everywhere, but Mr. Bai has never seen it?"

Bai Yingyang smiled slightly. Although he likes to appreciate paintings, he only prefers landscapes and landscapes. He is not interested in pictures of beauties. Even if he has seen them before, he has forgotten them all by now.

Zhang Ehu said: "What is an oiran?"

Bai Yingyang said: "It is the top-notch one among so many beauties."

Yan Tianran smiled and said: "Mr. Bai's words are very true." As he spoke, he opened the bookcase, took out a long brocade box, put it on the desk, took out a scroll from it, and unfolded it carefully.

It was a picture framed in silk, and Zhang Ehu and Bai Yingyang's eyes lit up when they saw it.

But what I saw in the painting was a beauty, all in white, with long hair and a shawl, with a smile on her face, so lifelike!Except that the person in the painting is younger, his eyebrows, eyes, nose, ears, and mouth are all the same as Meng Qiao's makeup.

Yan Tianran said with a smile: "This is "The Picture of the Number One Oiran in the World"."

Zhang Ehu was so dazed, he asked in a daze, "Is this... Miss Meng?"

Yan Tianran said with a smile, "Exactly." After finishing speaking, he rolled up the scroll carefully.

Only then did Zhang Ehu wake up, and thought to himself: "No wonder she was born so good-looking, so she is the number one oiran in the world."

If Bai Yingyang had never seen Meng Qiao makeup before, just looking at this painting, he would probably think that Master Lu intentionally beautified her when he painted it, but now he secretly said: "Based on Miss Meng's complexion, it is worthy of the name to be called 'the best in the world'. It's a good painting, but it hasn't painted a thousandth of her beauty."

Yan Tianran said: "Baochang, Miss Meng is not only the number one courtesan in the world, but also a well-known talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River. A romantic person like her has an arrogant heart, and it's not easy to meet guests."

Zhang Ehu smiled and said: "She is an oiran and talented, so it's only natural that she has a high spirit."

Yan Tianran said: "Then ask the Baochang to take a look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall."

Zhang Ehu looked around, only to find that the walls of this room, either horizontally or vertically, are covered with calligraphy and paintings of various styles, some with unique charm, some natural, some blazing a new path, or flying thousands of miles... Each piece is quite ingenious!Helpless, Zhang Ehu has no ink in his chest, seeing these paintings have crooked and scribbled handwriting, and some are accompanied by flowers, birds, insects and fish, like ghostly symbols, he looked at him in a daze.

Yan Tianran said: "These calligraphy and paintings are all made by guests from all over the world in order to see Miss Meng."

Zhang Ehu said: "You have to write and draw to see her?"

Yan Tianran said: "Ms. Meng has to appreciate your calligraphy and painting. Otherwise, even if you have ten thousand taels of gold, Ms. Meng will never see you again."

Zhang Ehu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "So, she is a very, very, very good girl?"

Yan Tianran said: "Miss Meng is gentle and talented, she is naturally a very good girl."

Zhang Ehu said: "I didn't ask this."

Yan Tianran said: "Forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what the chief security officer is referring to?"

Zhang Ehu scratched his head, not knowing how to explain.

Bai Yingyang immediately interjected: "What the chief security officer means is that this Miss Meng is so picky that she doesn't pay attention to gold and silver mountains. Could it be that she is still an innocent virgin by performing arts and not selling herself?"

Zhang Ehu nodded repeatedly, looked at Yan Tianran, and waited for his reply.

Yan Tianran disdainfully said: "Qiao Zhuang is clean and self-loving, she is an innocent virgin, so there is no need to ask." She still smiled and said: "Whether you are an innocent virgin or not is a private matter of the daughter's family. How can I wait for outsiders to get it?" Know."

Bai Yingyang said: "As Shaodong of the Fuyin Pavilion, don't you know if the girls in the courtyard have received guests?"

Yan Tianran laughed, and asked inappropriately: "Mr. Bai, you have nothing to do on weekdays, do you have a good place to spend your time?"

Bai Yingyang listened to what he said politely, but actually asked himself if he also likes to go to brothels to find women and women on weekdays.

Yan Tianran said: "Whether it is Meilong County or the entire Jiangnan, our Fuyin Pavilion is the best courtyard. The 'Jushi Xiaozhu' in the north of the city and the 'Huiqu Garden' in the south of the city are not extraordinary, but the girls of their two families are Not as talented as the girls in our Fuyin Pavilion. Our girls recite poems and play chess with the guests. If any guest officials are appreciated by the girls, please enter the house to exchange talents. It is a private date. He will be rude to ask the girls about their boudoir affairs." After a pause, he continued: "Like the 'Nuanxiang Pavilion', 'Qunyu Pavilion', 'Qunliuju' and other low-level brothels that force girls into prostitution, they can't be with us. On a par with each other." The tone was contemptuous, obviously showing extreme disdain for the three brothels.

Listening to the other party's tone, Bai Yingyang regarded himself as a prostitute who loves to visit "Nuanxiang Pavilion", "Qunyu Pavilion", "Wen Liuju" and other low-spirited brothels.

In fact, Bai Yingyang has been engaged to Zhang Ehu's sister since he was a child, and he has a lotus by his side. He never goes to romantic places. Even the most famous Fuyin Pavilion in Jiangnan, he accidentally heard people say that it is in Peony Lane, Meilong County. Forget it, just outside the door, he hesitated for a moment before he was sure it was a brothel. As for those small brothels such as "Nuanxiang Pavilion", this was the first time he had heard of them today.

Zhang Ehu naturally didn't understand what Yan Tianran was talking about, and asked, "You mean, as long as Miss Meng agrees, I can go see her?"

Yan Tianran said: "It's natural, but..."

Seeing Meng Qiaozhuang anxiously, Zhang Ehu frowned and said, "But what? Why do you have so many words, it's really long-winded!"

Yan Tianran smiled and said: "Miss Meng has always only liked scholars who are full of poetry and books and have outstanding literary talents. Baochang has high martial arts skills and is naturally a dragon and phoenix among people. I admire it very much, but it seems that it does not suit Miss Meng's taste."

Zhang Ehu said: "If you don't take me to see her, how will she know that I don't suit me, and how can she invite me in to meet?"

Yan Tianran couldn't help laughing and said: "What you said is reasonable. In that case, the chief security officer might as well write a poem and send someone to tell Miss Meng. If she appreciates it, she will invite you to meet her."

Zhang Ehu frowned and said, "How can I compose a poem?" Turning to Bai Yingyang, he said, "Create one for me."

Bai Yingyang said in a low voice: "If she really likes you, you will see her for anything, just let her know that you wrote the poem."

Zhang Ehu thought it was right, and said to Yan Tianran: "Listen up!" After thinking for a long time, he slowly chanted: "In the Fuyin Pavilion..., the tiger loves bridge makeup. Peach blossoms and hibiscus are blooming... "I don't know what word to end with the last sentence. After thinking about it for a long time, I really can't think of it, so I just looked up to the sky and smiled, pretending to have finished it.

Bai Yingyang was listening, laughing so hard that he couldn't help but collapse.

Yan Tianran was stunned. He first guessed that this evil tiger must have heard about Meng Qiaozhuang's name from someone else, so he wanted to see the beauty of the beauty. He asked Zhang Ehu to compose a poem, but he already guessed There may be good sentences, but since the other party dares to come, it is estimated that they will not be completely unprepared. They will either use ancient poems to prevaricate, or make a doggerel to fill the number. The verses are so vulgar and incomprehensible.

Zhang Ehu said: "My poem is finished, why don't you send someone to tell Miss Meng?"

Yan Tianran laughed and said: "Baochang, your poem is too...simple..."

Zhang Ehu laughed loudly and said, "I'm called Dazhuo Ruoqiao!"

Bai Yingyang smiled and said, "It's as clever as it is clumsy."

Zhang Ehu smiled and said, "That's right, it's as clever as it is clumsy."

Yan Tianran smiled bitterly and said, "But Ms. Meng probably doesn't like it very much..."

Zhang Ehu said angrily: "You haven't talked to her yet, how do you know she doesn't like it? Go, go!"

Yan Tianran was afraid that the vicious tiger would get mad here, so he had to call the servant and tell him to read the poem written by Baochang to Meng Qiaozhuang.
