Bai Hu'er turned his face to the side and thought for a while, then shook his head.
"A boring gourd," Jingzhou sighed, "That's all, you don't have a story, I do. You will be responsible for buying wine from now on."
"I have opened brothels, more than once. Some are called Yanbo Tower, and some are called Zilanxuan. Although the names are different, they are both the most romantic places in the world. The caller Xu has never believed it."
"This brothel is a good place. It's full of beauty in the late spring. Look at you like this. You only know how to practice martial arts and you've never been there. I'll take you in for a few rounds tomorrow."
The candles were changed about twice before Bai Huerlian left quietly.
next day
Xu Fengnian had someone set up a soft coffee table next to Tingchao Pavilion, brought in rare fruits and fine wines, and called more than a dozen beautiful maids to wait beside him. That's right, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to fish, and he is still thinking about the lies told by the mountain ghost, so that those who wish will take the bait. Xu Fengnian wouldn't believe it if this meant that Huang Man'er could be fooled by the lake.
Taking the cucumber handed over by Sweet Potato, Xu Fengnian took a bite, glanced at Ziying lying on the bed beside him, and kept cursing in his heart. Forget it, Shangui doesn’t use a hook when fishing. He doesn’t even look at the fishing rod for a moment. He lies on his limp body and even his eyes are covered with a folding fan. If it weren’t for the maids who kept pouring wine for him, Xu Fengnian wouldn’t even look at it. I thought Shangui was lying on the collapse and fell asleep.
Xu Fengnian felt the fishing rod in his hand sink. He bit the cucumber in his hand and pulled hard with both hands. Then he was dumbfounded.
empty.
Sweet Potato cut a plate of watermelon and brought it to Xu Fengnian's side. He couldn't help but comfort him: "Sir, it's okay. It's still early. This fish will always take the bait."
Xu Fengnian finished the cucumber in three mouthfuls, took a few long breaths, and said puzzledly: "Old Huang, why do you think the fish in this lake have become so good? I missed the shot twice in a row!"
Xu Fengnian looked at Jingzhou again. This guy was still lying there calmly and calmly. He thought to himself: "When I catch the fish later, I will ridicule you and expose your lies."
Lao Huang clicked his feet and pondered for a while and said: "Young master, do you want to try again? When I was young, I had no money to eat and went up the mountain to chop down trees. I was just clumsy. It took someone else one or two hours to chop down a tree, but I had to chop it down three or four times." Although it is slower, you can still cut a lot of firewood if you chop for a long time. The same principle applies to fishing."
"You deserve it!" Jiang Ni stood behind Xu Fengnian, holding a plate of grapes and cursed unabashedly. If there wasn't something in her hand, she would have clapped her hands and shouted a few times. A scum like Xu Fengnian can't catch a single fish before she can say what she wants.
Xu Fengnian is not surprised by Jiang Ni's attitude. Not only that, if Jiang Ni doesn't scold him for a day, Xu Fengnian will feel uncomfortable. It's just one thing to be a bitch and like to be scolded. It's another thing if you can't weaken your aura. thing. Xu Fengnian grabbed another cucumber from the plate and took a vicious bite. He turned around and glared at Jiang Ni, "Little clay figurine, I will catch a few more fish for you today!"
"I would also like to thank you for escorting the prince all the way. As slaves, we have nothing to repay. Please try the newly cut melons. Hongshu cut another plate of melons and brought it to Jingzhou.
Xu Fengnian said: "Hongshu, you are wrong, he is the only one who still escorts me? When he is in danger, he can run faster than me!"
Jing Zhou closed the folding fan on his face and sat up from his bed. The woman in red in front of me is twenty-eight years old. She has a plump body, fair and plump skin, and is skillful and gentle in her movements. She also exudes a fragrance like an orchid.
Jingzhou took a piece of melon from Hongshu, took a bite, and praised: "Sweet potato, a good name, a beautiful name and a beautiful person, this cut melon is even more beautiful."
"Hongshu is just an ordinary maid, and she doesn't deserve such praise from the master." Hongshu lowered his head and smiled.
Jingzhou said: "You deserve it if I say you deserve it. You must know that I rarely praise others."
Sweet Potato is the eldest maid of Wutong Garden. The size of Wutong Garden is suitable and all are managed by Sweet Potato. For Xu Fengnian, Sweet Potato is like Jia Baoyu's favorite person. If you just have a general understanding, it is not unusual to keep the backyard in order. After all, although there are few women like Xue Baochai, there can always be a few in the world. Among all the maids in Wutong Garden, only Hongshu can not only help Xu Fengnian warm his bed, but also kill people for him. Only Hongshu is willing to put down her arrogance and regard herself as a maid.
"Hongshu is a dead soldier. If you don't die, what will you do with your life? Isn't it just to help the master kill people?" A sentence suddenly came to Jingzhou's mind.
Xu Fengnian said: "Sweet potato, just turn a deaf ear to his words. Nine lies and one truth, more lies than truth."
Hongshu smiled knowingly and brought several plates of fruits from the side and placed them next to Jingzhou. For some reason, she felt that what the man in purple clothes just said was sincere.
Jingzhou laughed twice and did not refute, but said: "Beggar Xu, there are quite a few maids in this palace, and all of them are stunningly beautiful."
Xu Fengnian said proudly: "Not many, there are about twenty of them, big and small. How come you are interested in any one of them? Tell me, I will listen to you. For the sake of lending me the money, I might pay you back." I can give you one or two.”
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a considerate person who listens to music and enjoys romance, he still firmly believes in one truth. There are so many beautiful women in the world. If he pities and loves them one by one, even his iron-clad body cannot bear it. , so if it doesn’t suit what you want to do, naturally you won’t take it to heart. At most, you just use it to adjust the taste.
Bai Hu'er stood with his face aside, leaning on the fence. His fingers that were flipping the book paused, and he looked sideways forward.
"Would you like a piece of melon? The melon picked from the sweet potato is delicious!" Jingzhou waved a piece of melon rind in Bai Hu'er's face.
Bai Hu'er shook his head and lowered his head to read the book again.
Jingzhou was not surprised by Bai Huer's face's behavior. He threw the melon rind into the lake, pointed at Jiang Ni, and asked: "Bell Hua Xu, what's the name of the little girl behind you?"
"Have you fallen in love with her?" Xu Fengnian glanced at Jing Zhou with a strange look on his face. This girl Jiang Ni has such a fierce temper, can she even like this? Could it be that the mountain ghost likes such a shrewd girl?
"Of course." Jingzhou shook his fan and smiled at Jiang Ni.
"She, she can't do it. You can find someone else. This little clay figurine belongs to my courtyard and cannot be given away." Xu Fengnian shook her head and held Jiang Ni in her arms amidst Jiang Ni's exclamation. What kind of virtue does Shangui have? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still doesn’t know? He looks like a noble man, but his ability to talk about romance in daylight is not inferior to him at all.
The two of them had been arguing about the affair for a day. His Royal Highness insisted on having a good time, but Shangui had to say that the water would flow slowly and slowly to realize the benefits. The reason was that it was not easy to surrender in a long time, and if you play long term, you could catch a big fish. Xu Fengnian sneered at this. In the heart of His Royal Highness, he always believed that a spring night is worth a thousand gold, and it is right to come back here after a thousand gold is gone.
"Let me go!" Jiang Ni put the grapes aside and struggled out of Xu Fengnian's arms.
Jingzhou smiled and said, "Little girl, you have good qualifications, but have you ever thought about learning swordsmanship?"
Xu Fengnian was stunned and said with a surprised look on his face: "You just want her to learn the sword from you?"
Jingzhou rolled his eyes, "Otherwise? Do you think everyone is as lustful as you? Besides, I am romantic but not obscene, sentimental but not sentimental. She is just an ordinary girl, so she is precious in your eyes, Xu Fengnian." "
Jiang Ni snorted coldly: "Why should I learn swordsmanship from you? Are you very good? What kind of good person can you be who colludes with Xu Fengnian!"
The ordinary appearance made her very unhappy. As expected, the person who was with Xu Fengnian was nothing interesting, just like a dog whose mouth couldn't spit out ivory. In terms of beauty, even if she is not as good as Bai Huer's face, she is still a rare beauty.
Xu Fengnian gave a thumbs up to Jingzhou. Although he often used money to buy poetry and saved countless elegant sentences, there was never a sentence that suited him as well as "passionate but not sentimental". .
Jing Zhou shook his head and said with a serious face: "Little girl, what you said is wrong. The beggar Xu and I are from different walks of life. He is embarrassed and I am not a traitor. Besides, if you learn the sword from me, you don't have to be a beggar." Xu bullied him, but not only that, when he was in a bad mood, he could be beaten to vent his anger. As for whether he is powerful or not, he can beat Xu, the beggar, and prevent you from being bullied."
Xu Fengnian violently spat out the cucumber in her mouth, gaining a new understanding of Sha Gui's thick skin.
What do you mean that His Royal Highness is in such a state of embarrassment and that he is so innocent?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two of them are evenly matched!
Several maids covered their mouths and laughed quietly, and at the same time they all turned their attention to Jiang Ni. Everyone in the Northern Liang Palace knew that Jiang Ni was different from ordinary servants and had a different status in Xu Fengnian's heart. In Nuo Da's palace, only Xu Fengnian can bully Jiang Ni, and only the second lady can scold Jiang Ni.
Jiang Ni said coldly: "There are so many people standing here, why do you want to accept me as your disciple? Didn't you also say that I look ordinary? I am just an ordinary maid! I want you to accept the person standing behind you!" "
The words "ordinary maid" are bitten extremely hard by ginger mud.
Jingzhou chuckled a few times, this little girl really has a temper.
Xu Fengnian nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you are just an ordinary maid. It's rare that you are so enlightened today, so you should be rewarded!"
Jiang Ni was not angry but happy when he heard this. He stretched out his hand and asked, "Where is the money? Give it to me quickly."
Xu Fengnian took out an embroidery pouch from his sleeve, took out a bunch of copper coins and put it in Jiang Ni's hand.
After getting the money, Jiang Ni's fierce face showed a smile, and his tone softened a bit, and he said to Jing Zhou: "Why don't you say anything anymore? Is there anything you can't say?"
Jing Zhou pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "There's nothing I can't say. Although the profession of master is a high-risk one, it's hard and tiring, but in normal times, I would never take on a disciple. Thoughts. But your qualifications are indeed extraordinary, on par with the beggar Xu, and you are gifted with a sword, so you are a good young talent. Moreover, although there are many people in this group, you are the only one with great luck."
Xu Fengnian pointed at Jiang Ni and said disdainfully: "She is just a maid with extraordinary qualifications. How can she be compared with this prince!"
Jiang Ni snorted coldly at Xu Fengnian. Although he didn't want to admit Xu Fengnian's words, he already felt that he was inferior to Xu Fengnian. She often opposed Xu Fengnian, but she was bullied every time. Although Xu Fengnian looked at him as a fool, only Jiang Ni knew that this prodigal was a rare person in a hundred years, both in terms of qualifications and brains.
When she was a child, she had secretly heard Xu Fengnian's praises several times from people who were like gods to her. And she herself is just an ordinary maid in Wutong Garden. Her identity seemed to be less valuable than the inkstone on Xu Fengnian's table.
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
Jiang Ni tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said with a dark expression: "The more capable I am, the faster I will die. I still won't learn the sword from you."
She was originally the princess of Xichu. When Xu Xiao slaughtered the Xichu Palace, he saw that she was young and spared her life, and took her back to the Beiliang Palace. The hatred for the subjugation of the country, the hatred for the destruction of the family, all kinds of factors came together. For her, the greatest guarantee for survival was mediocrity.
Jingzhou smiled and said, "Since I opened my mouth, I can naturally keep you. The key is whether you are willing or not."
Xu Fengnian clicked his tongue twice, then returned his mind to the fishing rod, shouting: "Old Huang, you won't be alone anymore. When you brag, you can be with the mountain ghost."
The eyes of several maids brightened up, and it turned out that the handsome young man in purple was called Shangui.
"Master, I don't know how to brag." Lao Huang glanced at Xu Fengnian resentfully, his expression was that of a wronged little daughter-in-law, no less than an angry little daughter-in-law.
Jiang Ni smiled sadly and said: "You don't know what the three words "King of Beiliang" mean. Not to mention the Beiliang Iron Cavalry that dominates the world, even the people in Tingchao Pavilion, you can't win."
When she saw Jingzhou's sincerity, although her heart moved, she didn't want to drag Jingzhou into the water. The longer she stayed in Beiliang Prince's Mansion, the more shocked she became at the hidden strength in this palace. The three words "King of Northern Liang" are as heavy as mountains. Even the top ten masters in the world will not fail to change their color when faced with these three words. Of the more than 100,000 invincible Euphorbia warriors, not a single one was left alive?
Jing Zhouchang laughed a few times and said, "So, you are willing. This is the first time for me to accept a disciple. If you are not willing, I will probably be sad for an hour."
Jiang Ni retorted: "When did I say yes? Why are you so shameless, and you are so happy on your own. If you involve me, you will cause a lot of trouble. Don't lose your life then."
The more Jiang Ni spoke, the weaker his tone became.
"I said I can protect you, and I can protect you. All you need to do is learn the sword from me safely. Keep an eye on it, girl!"
Jing Zhou's words with a satisfying tone attracted everyone's attention. Even those with white fox faces put down the book in their hands.
"I, I haven't promised you that I want to learn the sword from you!" Jiang Ni was furious, but then his face was full of surprise.
Xu Fengnian took a deep breath, immediately stood up from the collapse, and murmured: "It turns out he is really a master."
As Jingzhou pointed, little drops of water flew out from the lake. It seemed like it was raining above the lake. However, the rain was not dripping from top to bottom, but in the opposite direction, from the lake to the sky. Fly away.
