Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Charming Means

Wu Zixu stood on the platform of the water pavilion facing the lake, leaning on the railing to look at the Hanging Piao Pond under the dark night.While admiring the beautiful scenery of the lake shore, he reviewed the situation, and kept it in his heart in every detail. The water pavilion he was in was named Shuixiang. Although it was adjacent to the Shuxiang Pavilion, he could not see the Shuxiang Pavilion.In fact, this is the characteristic of the nine pavilions in the west courtyard, which are ingeniously embedded in the pool. Bamboos are planted between the pavilions, making each pavilion an independent and isolated world.

On the other side of the pond is the East Jiuxie, and his Fengzhu Pavilion is another independent building outside the Jiuxie. It is about 200 feet away from his current position, and the distance is not close, but with his underwater skills, he is sure In half a quarter of an hour, cross the Hanging Piao Pond and return to Fengzhu Pavilion. He has drawn up a complete plan, and it is worth trying. The key is whether he can draw seven works that Baichun admires, so he must use all his skills. The sound of moving things came from behind, Wu Zixu didn't understand what was going on, looking back, a group of maidservants were carrying a table, the table top and the tripod were being held separately, two of them were carrying high back chairs, The platform came in a mighty way.Yan Niang and Cicada Wing followed behind the moving table group. The former had spring in his mouth, smiled before saying a word, and was coquettish, completely different from his attitude towards Wu Zixu at the beginning; look.But to Wu Zixu, the two are judged by their attractiveness, and the allure of Cicada Wings is far greater than that of Yanniang.

The table moving group stopped at the junction of the hall and the platform, and Yan Niang, holding a gust of fragrant wind, came straight to him, and said with a charming smile: "Tonight is Mr. Lang's first night of painting, and we are going to be the guest of honor at the Hongye Building." Welcome to Mr. Lang. Where does Mr. Lang like to place the table on the platform?" Wu Zixu felt that it was novel and interesting, and this reception was really unique.The maidservants are all good-looking. Although they are not as good as cicada wings at the age of sixteen or seventeen, they are already very impressive. They are sweating profusely and panting softly. Anyone who sees them will be half crisp.Wu Zixu sighed, "Can you bring in another big bed?"

The maidservants were looking him up and down with curious eyes, hearing this, not only was no one shy, they even laughed coquettishly in unison, and the pavilion was full of spring. Yan Niang rolled her eyes upwards, and anyone could guess that she was lamenting that this pervert would never change. Cicada Wing said angrily: "Don't try to twist your heart." Wu Zixu looked at her feigning surprise, and said happily, "Isn't this the roar of the Hedong Lion? Sister Cicada looks more and more like my wife." The cicada wings were about to explode, so Yanniang stopped her and said: "Our Hongye Building has our rules, especially our Hongye Bamei, and Miss Baichun personally set the rules, and Mr. Lang must abide by them."

Wu Zixu said with great interest: "Idiots are all ears." Yan Niang said with a high air: "The eight beauties of the Red Mansion are all about performing arts and not selling themselves. Are they really selling arts and not selling themselves? If you want to kiss Xiangze, you must be willing to do it. As long as the lady is willing, she can marry you, Ye Duzi , The ransom is free, it depends on your ability." Wu Zixu was amazed.Baichun must be a genius in brothel management, and he has grasped the truth that the harder it is for a man to get a woman, the more precious he is.If a man can enjoy the greatest pleasure of chasing under the skirt and the true feelings, he will not rush forward.Of course, it won't be cheap to buy their art, so Hongyelou is bound to make a lot of money, and gold and silver will flow in.

Cicada Wing said coldly: "Do you understand?" Wu Zixu said submissively: "Lady, I understand!" Those little maidservants wanted to laugh but dared not laugh, fearing offending Cicada Wing, they endured it so hard. Yanniang was afraid that the cicada wings would not be able to handle his prodigal son, so she hurriedly said: "Pianying is coming soon, you don't know how hard Fatty has arranged for this. Lianying's schedule for more than ten nights is fully booked, Fatty You have to persuade the guests to barely make room, if you don't give good grades tonight, the fat man will kill you. Alright! Where is the table?"

Wu Zixu's gaze shifted from Yan Niang to the puffy cicada wings, and then to the group of maidservants, and said, "Of course it's a table near the lake, and let me share the bright moon on the lake with the beauties." Yan Niang laughed and scolded: "One sentence is enough, but there are so many nonsense." After speaking, she instructed the servants to put the tables and chairs on the platform near the railing, and then said: "What else can Mr. Lang ask for?" Wu Zixu said with a smile: "There are only two requests. The first request is a light boat, parked beside the waterside pavilion. When I am satisfied with painting, I will drive the boat back to Fengzhu Pavilion, and draw the first painting with my brush. Beauty picture."

Yan Niang said: "This is easy, do as you wish. Is there another request?" Wu Zixu came to the tight and pretty face of Cicada Wing, bowed to the ground, and said: "Cicada Wing, please accompany Yusheng to board the boat at that time, take a tour of the lake, and go home." Cicada Wing stepped on her foot fiercely, and said angrily, "You man! Let's go!" Said Bila to leave. Yan Niang covered her mouth and smiled and said: "If the cicada wings are mad at you, I will settle the score with you." She stretched out her hand and twisted his arm hard, and gave him a charming smile.

Suddenly the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras sounded outside the pavilion. Yan Niang smiled and said, "Lianying is here! My family is gone." Ruan Xiuzhen sat in the small pavilion, Qiu Jiushi came and sat down opposite him, and said: "I have seen Qian Shichen, and he promised to send Feige a letter immediately, asking his people in the capital to investigate Lang Geng, and it should be within ten days Echo." He said again: "Gu Yueming is here!" Ruan Xiuzhen was startled and said, "Gu Yueming?" Qiu Jiushi said: "Qian Shichen personally told me that he just met Gu Yueming. It's strange, he shouldn't have told me. On the surface, Qian Shichen is fine, but I can tell from his eyes that he is restless .”

Ruan Xiuzhen was puzzled and said, "For Xue Tinghao, it is already unusual to bother the powerful commander of the factory and guard to come south. It is really incomprehensible to send out the emperor's imperial hunters now." Qiu Jiushi said solemnly: "Could it be that Mr. Feng built the plank road openly and crossed the old warehouse secretly? The real target is us? Especially your brother." Ruan Xiuzhen nodded and said: "This may be the reason why Qian Shichen informed you secretly. For Qian Shichen, if there is trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, he will bear the brunt of the disaster. Gu Yueming is not only the best bounty hunter in the world, but he can also become a terrible bounty hunter." Assassin, and he has always been solitary, elusive, unpredictable."

Qiu Jiushi sneered: "But there is an advantage, killing him ensures that no one will notice." Ruan Xiuzhen said: "Before the five escaped robbers are captured alive, we should not make extra troubles. We just need to be more vigilant and strengthen our defenses. Forgive Gu Yueming for not daring to assassinate me openly." Qiu Jiushi's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he muttered: "Be careful when you go in and out." Ruan Xiuzhen said: "The top priority is still the Fifth Thieves. I was thinking just now, why is the identity of Hongyelou painter more attractive to the Fifth Thieves than selling snake guts? There must be reasons we don't understand." Qiu Jiushi nodded in agreement.In fact, he was holding back very hard, like an overflowing pond, but there was no way to vent, he wished he could rush into the Hongye Building, capture that annoying guy alive, and take him to see Huangfu Tianxiong.With a wry smile: "Unless he is willing to tell us, we will have no way of knowing." Ruan Xiuzhen said with a strange look: "Of course not. As long as I know his activities in Hongyelou, I can safely deduce his real purpose based on this. But one thing is for sure, his ambition is not Tiannv Yujian, Instead, he has another goal, otherwise he will continue to sell snake gall, this identity is more conducive to his activities in the city, and will not arouse our suspicion like now." Qiu Jiushi finally understood why his expression was so weird, and sighed: "You want me to see Baichun?" Ruan Xiuzhen shrugged and said, "Didn't you personally say that you were going to explain today's misunderstanding to her? And what about drinking fine wine for breaking the appointment? Solve the two things together, and you will take advantage of it." Qiu Jiushi said dejectedly: "The god is you again, and the ghost is you again. Does going to see Baichun mean that we have surrendered?" Ruan Xiuzhen said: "I really hope there is another choice. We can't just sit here for ten days and wait for Qian Shichen's good news. Go! Maybe this is fate. No matter how the situation develops in the future, I won't blame it. Yours. We can’t break the link where it wants you to be entangled with Baichun, but we can break other links, as long as we find the kid’s handle, the victory still belongs to us.” Qiu Jiushi was stunned for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "It's terrible, I suddenly feel alive, and you can't stop me now. From this, it can be seen that it really wants me to see Baichun. God help me!" Baichun moved lightly, came to Qian Shichen's side, poured wine for him, then sat down opposite him, and while filling his own cup, asked, "Why are you so preoccupied tonight, sir? Is there anything difficult to solve?" about?" Qian Shichen looked at her charmingly smiling face and sighed secretly.The Shuxiang Pavilion is still the same water pavilion, and the hanging ladle pool is still charming, but compared to last time, his mood is completely different. The crisis is imminent, and it is more likely that a catastrophe is imminent.Gu Yueming was so powerful that it made people afraid. It was the right decision for Ge Mo to kill him, but it was a pity that he couldn't kill him.When Qian Shichen was in pain and wanted to find someone to discuss with, Ge Mo, the only candidate, left and never returned. He was overwhelmed by fear, thinking that only Baichun could make him forget everything temporarily, so he came to Hongyelou like a lonely soul.But now when he heard Baichun's question, he could only shake his head and said, "I don't have anything, but because I'm busy with official duties, I have to go after two drinks tonight." Baichun Buyi said: "I still want to hear the story! Master Qian can only tell half of the story." How could Qian Shichen still have the mood to tell a story, and he regretted what he should have said last time, so he took the opportunity to remind her: "Remember the story I told, and you must never tell others." In order to divert her attention, Said: "Isn't that new artist very suspicious?" Baichun showed a charming smile, with a thoughtful expression as if thinking of something, her cherry lips parted and said: "It turns out that my lord is upset about the Wudun robber. Did Master Qiu Jiu tell my lord about the painter? " Qian Shichen wondered if he didn't have enough troubles, how could he be interested in dealing with the five escaped thieves.However, with Baichun's company, the mood really improved a lot. It's fine to talk about anything, as long as she doesn't ask the story, then he said: "Then what kind of person is the painter?" Baichun's eyes sparkled with a smile, then he carelessly brushed his hair with his slender fingers, shrugged his shoulders, and said softly, like an unstoppable emotion welling up from the depths of his heart: "He is a pervert, a madman, a prodigal and a genius." A hybrid, I have never seen a person who is as impatient and annoying as him, and at the same time can't help admiring him. If he is really the five escaped robbers, it will be a fusion of various characteristics A flawless union of one." Qian Shichen had never seen Baichun's expression like this before, and he faintly felt that besides Master Qiu Jiu, there was another powerful rival in love. The music became louder and brighter, playing a bright and relaxed tune, which made Wu Zixu dance and dance with the music.He has this kind of virtue, the brothel will make him a person without self-control, and it is the first time for him to combine enjoyment and work together, and Hongyelou, regardless of the layout, style, and fun it provides, has everything. It was something he had never tasted before, and the impact on him can be imagined.At this moment, he completely forgot why he was here, only knowing that the time to enjoy life has come again. Hongyelou Mike's method is ingenious. The water pavilion building is divided into two floors, the lower floor is the storage room and the kitchen, which are all set up for the guests enjoying the water pavilion. The second floor is divided into two halls, the front and the back, separated by a curtain. The servants are waiting in the front hall, and the band is there play music.The back hall is connected to the platform, which is where Wu Zixu lives, and it is specially used to receive distinguished guests who can afford it.With such a ostentation, it is worth paying a little more. Two pretty girls opened the curtain from left to right, and a young girl with a tall body and a charming figure appeared. She was not the kind of brothel woman with heavy make-up that Wu Zixu was used to. .The drooping bangs made her a little childish, making her look youthful and outstanding.Such a beautiful woman, although not as good as Bai Chun, was the best he had ever met in a brothel.She is not like a famous prostitute in a brothel at all, but like a lady from a big family. Wu Zixu's mind was shaken, and his soul floated into the air. She was wearing a well-tailored silk dress with a white and blue ground and a silk belt, proudly showing off her curves, her slender figure, and accentuating her pretty face.The two bright pearls hanging from the ear beads are dangling, indescribably charming and charming. She walked past the curtain in a graceful posture that she had trained, and when the curtain closed behind her, Wu Zixu couldn't help but hold his breath, staring at this fairy who seemed to have broken through the barrier between immortals and descended into the world. Lianying went straight to him with a clever smile, and greeted Wu Zixu with all blessings: "My slave, Lianying, please advise Mr. Lang." Wu Zixu woke up a little bit, and let out a sigh of relief: "We are now working hard for a common goal, which is to show your most charming charm, beauty, so that we can forget the past, forget the future, and leave the memory of this moment. Good times. You have to enjoy life to the fullest, don’t let the golden cup be empty to the moon. Only by letting go of your arms can you enjoy the true meaning of life.” Lianying happily said: "Mister's words are really touching. None of the eight of us wants to draw the most beautiful portrait. Sir, teach Lianying how to do it." Wu Zixu smiled and said: "It's very simple, beauty, you have to do your best to me, show your most captivating means to fascinate men, show your most moving side, I guarantee that after seeing the portrait I drew, beauty You will never regret it." Lianying suddenly clapped her hands three times. Wu Zixu was stunned and said, "What are you doing, beauty?" Lianying shrugged her shoulders slightly, and said nonchalantly: "The slave family teaches people to send the kite in, that is the most fascinating way for the slave family to fascinate men." Wuzi was speechless.
