The three masters and servants returned to Li's house, but it was only a matter of time before Chang Ning got the news and came over to reply, "Girl, Mrs. Lin has something to do with that woman."
"So fast?"
Chang Ning said: "My servant didn't ask clearly for a while. Why don't you ask Dawu to come over and give you a reply? He is your secret sentry."
Li Qingyi nodded, and Changning asked Dawu to come over and answer.
"The old lady's surname is Sun, and she is a nanny. The concubine that Mr. Lin Er recently favored was the concubine that Mrs. Sun got involved in! I heard that she got a lot of rewards. I followed this matter and asked about it. I found out how many concubines Mr. Lin Er has raised recently. There are three concubines in the house who are in the hands of Sun Yapo. Some of them have a clean family background, and some of them have a clean background."
Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows high after hearing this.
Silan couldn't help but said: "Mrs. Lin Er, is this a broken pot? She actually secretly found a concubine for Master Lin Er?"
If Li Qingyi wanted to think, he looked at Dawu and said, "Continue talking."
Dawu said respectfully: "There is a poor scholar named Sun in the east of the city who specializes in writing acid poems for people. Baoyue Pavilion has been booming recently, and many girls have come to him to buy calligraphy. I just went to Baoyue Pavilion to deliver calligraphy. I just met Mrs. Sun talking to Ayuan."
Girls in Goulan usually find some calligraphy men to write some sour poems for their lovers. Sun Xiucai was very popular in this area and had decent literary talent, so he was naturally the first choice among the girls.
Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows: "Ayuan?"
Today she and Qin Zeng watched A Yuan Yiwu in Linjiang Pavilion.
"Does Mrs. Lin Er want to introduce A Yuan to Master Lin Er?"
Dawu was Qin Zeng's secret sentry. Qin Zeng's people were always thorough in their affairs. He continued, "One more thing. Lin Ji, the third young master of the Lin family, spent a lot of money on A Yuan. The two of them have been in close contact recently."
Silan was shocked, "Is it possible that Sun Yapo wants to introduce Lin Ji's best friend to his second uncle?"
Isn't it a joke that uncle and nephew are competing for a daughter?
Li Qingyi obviously understood the joints. He tapped his fingers on the table twice and said with a hint of smile in his eyebrows: "Don't forget, there is also Mr. Wei San!"
Just now in Linjiang Pavilion, she saw Mr. Wei San and Lin Ji!
She said to Dawu: "There is something else I want to trouble you with."
Dawu was very respectful: "Please give me your instructions, girl."
"Can you ask Sun Xiucai where Lin Ji and A Yuan would go if they met in private?"
I don't know if Qin Zeng gave the order or Chang Ning told him, but Dawu was very obedient and agreed without hesitation: "Yes."
Li Qingyi didn't have to go back to Wei's house in the past few days, so she planned to seize the time to do everything she needed to do. However, she promised to play with her younger siblings tomorrow, so she lay down early to rest to avoid being exhausted tomorrow.
This time Dawu arrived at the tavern where Sun Xiucai often went and waited.
Not long after, Sun Xiucai wandered in, ordered a pot of wine and a stack of peanuts, and started drinking by himself.
Dawu sat down with the side dishes on his table, "Sir, he has been busy recently, so he has a lot of money on his hands!"
Sun Xiucai saw Dawu sitting down and said with a smile: "You are quite well off, why do you want to come and inquire about the girl from Baoyue Pavilion?"
Da Wu was overjoyed. He really got what he asked for. He followed the conversation and asked, "Why, is there anyone else asking you?"
"It's not just you guys who are half-hearted."
Sun Xiucai smiled and suddenly whispered: "Da Wu is so old and has never tasted the taste of a woman!"
Da Wu blushed and said with a smile: "Oh, no, tell me. What does that girl who has been so red lately look like? Do you always see her?"
Sun Xiucai didn't show off, and said: "You can see it, but Miss Ayuan usually has half a veil on her face, so she can't see her full face, but her dark eyebrows are like mountains, and her autumn-cut pupils are really beautiful... She is really beautiful. !”
Dawu looked like he couldn't sit still and asked: "Looking at what you said makes me feel itchy. Does Miss Ayuan usually go out? I often go somewhere to try my luck. If I can catch a glimpse from a distance, that's it. I’m so satisfied!”
"Look at your potential." Sun Xiucai said with a smile in his eyes, and lowered his voice meaningfully: "You don't know! I saw Miss A Yuan having a private meeting with Third Young Master Lin in Pengchun Pavilion a few days ago!"
"Pengchun Pavilion?"
"Exactly!"
Da Wu raised his hand and said, "Thank you very much. I'll try my luck another day!"
On the second day, Li Qingyi accompanied Li Miaoran and Li Yuanzhi for shopping for most of the day. After dinner in the afternoon, the two finally felt tired. Li Qingyi sent them back first and went straight to Pengchun Pavilion.
She was very lucky. Dawu just sent the news this morning, and she heard that Lin Ji had made an appointment with Ayuan to meet at Pengchun Pavilion at noon.
Pengchun Pavilion is built near the water. It is similar to the painting boat. It is just an elegant villa operating on the embankment. It is specially used for some literati to come here to write and splash ink. They are accompanied by attendants and beautiful maids with red sleeves to add fragrance. It is extremely elegant. .
Li Qingyi was dressed like a wealthy and luxurious young man from a wealthy family, while Islam and Changning were pretending to be servants. The three of them swaggered to Pengchun Pavilion and booked a private room. They closed the door and sat down. Changning said, "I'm going to explore the road first!"
After a while, the eldest mother called to the two of them from the window: "We found someone, come with me quickly."
The people who come to Pengchun Pavilion are either rich or noble, and there are almost no idlers. Although Li Qingyi does not know kung fu, he is also very agile. No one noticed him along the way. He successfully reached the back of the elegant room where A Yuan and Lin Ji were. Through the window, You can hear the two people talking.
Lin Ji sat opposite A Yuan, looking like an elegant young man at this time, and said softly: "Oh, I have lifted the ban now, and I will come out to see you right away behind my mother's back! Miss A Yuan, please don't be angry..."
A Yuan's face was still half covered with a veil. She gently stroked the cup in her hand with her slender hands, and said softly and angrily: "A Yuan is just a prostitute, how can she dare to ask for much? It's just that the young master won't come for a few days, and in my heart... …It’s like there’s something blocked, you might as well cut me into pieces to be done with it…”
When Lin Ji heard A Yuan's words, he was overjoyed and wanted to grab A Yuan's snow-white hands. A Yuan withdrew as if she was being burned, turning sideways and ignoring Lin Ji. Lin Jisan retracted his hand and said, "I know, don't worry, I'm going to fix you!"
A Yuan smiled, but her eyes overflowed with tears. Tears filled her eyelashes. The pear blossoms were so untouched by the rain. She said sadly: "A Yuan is just a floating weed with no place to live. She can win the favor of the young master... I... I even Even death is enough... If you can follow my master in this life, Ayuan will be your slave and maid, serving him for the rest of your life..."
What A Yuan said was sincere and sincere, Lin Ji was so excited that he wished he could do something to the beauty in front of him right here!
However, his grandfather had strict rules, so he didn't dare to go too far.
Although A Yuan is a brothel girl, she is now in the limelight and no one in Beijing knows about her.
He could only continue to pretend to be a gentle young man and said, "Just wait for me!"
Li Qingyi was lying under the window, feeling a little nauseous as he saw the two men flirting with each other.
The three of them returned the same way. Silang Lan said first: "A Yuan is also an oiran, so why is his taste so bad?"
Li Qingyi was amused by him and chuckled, and said: "I don't think so. A Yuan can hide so well in Baoyue Pavilion. She must be a smart person when she sees the right moment and gets proud. She must have something to do with Lin Ji. picture."
Chang Ning said: "This A Yuan is the newly popular girl of Baoyue Pavilion. She has an extraordinary appearance and her dancing skills are even more wonderful. The disciples in black clothes who often go to Sanli Lane all want to be her guests. Qin originally went to Beijing. The Lou Chu Pavilion is headed by Yu Xiang Pavilion. Ever since A Yuan appeared in Bao Yue Pavilion, Bao Yue Pavilion has faintly overshadowed Yu Xiang Pavilion. I haven't heard anything special about its origin."
Li Qingyi suddenly had an idea, "To be able to steal the limelight of Yuxiang Tower in such a short period of time is not just as simple as beauty. I think it requires a lot. If it's money, we might be able to find a way to get it." Er Kongzi, it seems that we need to meet this girl Ayuan first."
"Yes? How could it be possible?" Islam disapproved, "How could you go to a place like that? What if you were discovered to be a woman?"
"Isn't Changning here?"
"That's not possible. Changning is alone. What if Baoyue Pavilion has some tricks and we can't prevent it? No, it definitely won't work."
Silan is usually the boldest, but she puts Li Qingyi's safety first and doesn't agree with anything, "If the girl insists on having her own way, I will tell the second wife to go!"
Li Qingyi had no choice but to look at Chang Ning and said, "Ask Mr. Qin if he has time tonight."
Changning: "...Okay."
Li Qingyi had just finished discussing the plan to go to Baoyue Pavilion in the evening when Chang Ning received another message, "My lord is not free tonight, but my lord said that if you have anything to do, please feel free to do it. She will have someone secretly protect you..." …”
Li Qingyi smiled when he heard this. Qin Zeng has been very tolerant to her recently!
The most prosperous entertainment venue in Shangjing is Sanli Alley. Li Qingyi had never been here before, but he didn't expect it to be so wide, almost larger than Deshengfang in the center of Shangjing.
When the hour came, the whole alley was lit up with lights, and it suddenly became very lively.
More than a hundred steps into the alley, you will see a uniform three-story building, clad in red and colorful, with carved beams and painted pillars.
Girls with pink flowers and green willows and enthusiastic helpers stood upstairs and downstairs to attract customers.
The further you go inside, the fewer the peddlers and lackeys are, and the only people walking on the road are business leaders and the like.
Further inside, you can already see sporadic dignitaries and children of aristocratic families.
Several people got out of the carriage, handed it over to the helper guarding the door, and entered directly into the Baoyue Pavilion, which was filled with gold, silver, and rich vermilion and emerald green.
Mama Liu from Baoyue Pavilion looked to be in her early thirties, with a slender waist and still charming charm. She personally greeted a guest, who seemed to be a regular customer, and hurriedly called a woman in red with a soft and soft voice to come down.
When the woman saw someone, she ignored the people coming and going around her and made a lot of noise. She stretched out her two arms as if they were hanging on the person's body. Her pale wrists slipped out of her sleeves and pulled a long note. She said angrily: "Oh, Mr. Li is so cruel. After so many days of absence, Man'er's neck is about to break..."
Mr. Li had an evil look on his face, stretched out his hand to pick Xiao Yao'er's sharp chin, and said with a smile: "I will make it up to you!"
With that said, the two of them went upstairs together.
Mother Liu was petite and soft, with a light gait. She saw three people standing at the door, one looking around, and two with big eyes and small eyes.
Looking at the well-dressed man, I don't know whose son brought his younger brother out to see the world.
