Several people were talking, and a few dandy entered the pavilion leaning against the red beam and nestling in the green. Several people were very proud and recited the poems that Zhao Hong had plagiarized loudly, and they were in high spirits.
"...It's all over. Let's count the romantic figures, but let's look at the present! I am a romantic figure, so I want to be romantic and happy! Hahaha!"
"The green mountains are still there, but how many times have the sunset turned red? The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk. Hahahaha!"
The dandy and the Yingying Yanyan came to the pavilion and sat down one after another around the stone table in the middle. The servants quickly served wine and food.
"Brother Li, I heard that Li Xiangxiang from "Lingxiao Pavilion" is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she only sells her art but not her body. Is this true?"
The fat man in green brocade clothes had a face as white as a disk, his small eyes were rolling around, and his fat hands were exploring up and down the body of the woman next to him.
"Do you sell your art but not your body? If you put dozens of gold collars on it, Chang'e will go to the bed and undress herself. Not to mention Li Xiangxiang who is waiting for a price!"
Brother Li is obviously a veteran of flower rooms and knows how to have fun.
"That's not necessarily true! I heard that there is a big shot behind Li Xiangxiang, some kind of general judge. It's not easy to hook up with him!"
Another thin man was dressed as a Confucian scholar, with a thin figure and dark circles under his eyes. He was obviously drunk too much.
"If the verdict is passed, let's forget it. My father can't afford to offend him. Besides, you can't have a romantic night after spending money, so you have to worry about it. That's boring!"
Li Dandan shook his head helplessly, looking at it with openness.
"Several high-ranking officials, we sisters, can't we still fall into your eyes?"
"Officials, you are so partial! Our sisters are also good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, aren't we beautiful?"
The warblers and swallows spoke one after another and laughed happily.
"Come in, come in! Let's go into the bridal chamber soon. I will make you feel comfortable enough!"
Li Dandan burst out laughing, causing the fat man and the Confucian scholars to raise their glasses, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Official man, you are so bad!"
"You also say that I am bad in bed! Am I bad or not?"
The dandy and the prostitute were laughing and joking, and the more they talked, the more explicit they were, as if they would not leave for a while. Zhou Ping shook his head, the guards in disguise retreated, and Zhao Hong and the others quietly went downstairs.
"Did it speak to your heart? Anyway, it spoke to my heart."
Zhao Hong seemed to be in a good mood and joked while going downstairs.
Lingxiao Pavilion, Li Xiangxiang, no need to ask, this is a flower boat on the Qinhuai River.
Zhou Ping and Tian Yi looked at each other and followed quietly. Zhao Hong suddenly stopped and pointed at the beautifully decorated and antique brocade boats on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
"what is that?"
Isn't this the place where the golden powder from the Six Dynasties gathers, as the dandies say?
Following the direction of Zhao Hong's finger, Zhou Ping could see clearly and quickly started to explain.
"Your Majesty, these are the flower boats of the official prostitutes from Jiankang Prefecture. The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are different from those in the north. Most of the official prostitutes live on the boats. Most of these official prostitutes are good at reciting poems, composing and coloring. They are here to visit. There are many literate people, wealthy businessmen, and many officials, who are comparable to heaven and earth."
Heaven and earth?
Zhao Hong couldn't help but smile. Hasn’t it been banned in heaven and on earth long ago?
"Your Majesty, official prostitutes sing and dance to help drink at official banquets, and they also attract business in official restaurants. For example, official restaurants such as Lin'an Mansion's "Fengle Tower" have official prostitutes to attract customers. In addition, they also have their own Business is like these flower boats. Most of these official prostitutes are rich and well-dressed, and they can eat and drink enough for a lifetime."
Zhou Ping continued to explain to Zhao Hong.
"As expected, it's wine, sex and wealth, Qinhuai Fengyue."
Zhao Hong shook his head and suddenly smiled:
"Since we are here, let's go and see it and experience the wind, flowers, snow, moon, and sounds of the Qinhuai River."
"No, let's find a place to eat quickly. I'm already hungry."
Tian Yi shouted in disappointment.
"Your Majesty, if someone discovers that you are unbearably lonely and goes out to prostitutes at night, it will be a big joke! I can't explain it to Xiu Niang!"
Zhou Ping was also frightened and quickly persuaded him.
If he takes Zhao Hong to find a woman, he won't be beaten by his mother and sister.
"I'm sick and lustful. You two are not married. When you get to the ship, there won't be enough for you to eat!"
Zhao Hong laughed and stepped forward.
"Not many people know me in Jinling City. If I can really meet some familiar people on the ship, then my trip will be really worthwhile."
Zhao Hongruo had something to say, and Zhou Ping knew it and felt relieved.
Zhou Ping pulled Tian Yi, who looked reluctant, and followed Zhao Hong towards the foot of the pavilion.
"Your Majesty, that Shi Yaozhi almost killed someone, but he was only demoted. Isn't it too easy for him?"
Zhou Ping suddenly spoke and talked about an old incident.
It's an old thing, but it was only half a month ago. Zhao Hong gave him a small punishment and didn't cause any trouble.
"Shi Yaozhi only played a small role. The abolition of official prostitutes and the abolition of lowly status is a big deal."
Zhao Hong looked at the flower boats on the Qinhuai River, his eyes flashing.
Maybe it's time to make a decision.
"Your Majesty, which flower boat should we go to?"
Zhou Ping was taken aback and asked in a low voice.
It seems that Zhao Hong is going to take action against the corrupt officials and prostitutes.
"Of course it's Li Xiangxiang's "Lingxiao Pavilion"!"
Zhao Hong looked at Zhou Ping and frowned.
"Zhou Ping, don't tell me, you don't know where "Lingxiao Pavilion" is?"
Zhou Ping smiled and bowed his hands.
"Your Majesty, please."
"Zhou Ping, how do you and your subordinates do things?"
Zhao Hong walked towards the pavilion and asked as he walked.
After only a month or two as head of the Anti-Corruption Department, his brother-in-law was strolling around and seemed to be making progress.
As for whether Zhou Ping had been to "Lingxiao Pavilion" and whether he had taken the opportunity to lose his virginity, he didn't bother to ask.
"Your Majesty, this is very simple. I am familiar with the people and have traveled around. I am very familiar with these things of domineering, committing crimes and violating laws."
Zhou Ping said softly and followed closely.
"When I arrived in Jinling, I secretly visited the officials of Jiankang Prefecture, big and small, and the powerful officials. Anyone who is rich and powerful, or who behaves recklessly is under my investigation. And those who are extremely angry among the people are the targets of my investigation."
He pointed to the flower boat on the Qinhuai River and whispered softly.
"For example, this flower boat and the brothels and houses in the city are good places for inspection. As His Majesty said, wine and beauty, romantic and romantic officials, how can they not come?"
Zhao Hong smiled slightly and patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder.
"Zhou Yanei, have you ever found someone who is a performer but not a prostitute to solve your life-long problem?"
"Quickly tell me, Zhou Yanei, has the life-long matter been resolved?"
Tian Yi followed Zhao Hong and asked, pretending to be a ghost.
"Your Majesty, immediately, immediately!"
Zhou Ping replied guiltily, looking embarrassed.
Zhao Hong shook his head gently. This brother-in-law also has an embarrassing side.
Several people moved forward, but before they reached the flower boat of "Lingxiao Pavilion", several handsome men in rich clothes supported each other and swayed off the boat. One of them was so drunk that he couldn't bear it anymore and walked quickly to the side. He spat on the blue brick ground on the shore.
The stench hit his nostrils, and Zhao Hong slapped his hands in disgust and covered his mouth.
Good guy, how much did you drink? Is it a light-flavored one?
"What are you looking at? You're still covering your nose. Who do you think you're disgusting with?"
A dandy looked at Zhao Hong and the others who were covering their mouths and noses, and his face darkened immediately.
"Get out of the way! Don't have eyes!"
Another dude scolded Zhao Hong, his face full of impatience.
Tian Yi held his neck and stepped forward, about to challenge the group, but Zhao Hong pulled him away.
Then I saw Zhou Ping ducking away from him and turning his head, hiding his head and tail, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
"Boy, why are you staring? I'll kill you!"
"What are you looking at? Get out of here!"
Several dudes scolded Tian Yi and Zhao Hong angrily, and then left in angrily while supporting their weak and vomiting companions.
"These guys are so cruel!"
Zhao Hong laughed and shook his head.
It has been the same from ancient times to the present. The second generation of officials, the second generation of rich people, and the gangsters are arrogant and domineering. They will always be the one who is better than me and are full of domineering.
Tian Yi looked at Zhou Ping who was looking around and walking cautiously, and said curiously:
"Master Zhou, what are you hiding from? Only a few dudes can scare you like this?"
"Of course not! There are a few dandies I know from Lin'an City there. I'm afraid these people are here to take the entrance exams for Jinling Martial Arts Hall and Jinling University Hall."
Zhou Ping said softly, and Tian Yi's face immediately sank.
"Who are you trying to disgust when these things enter the martial arts hall?"
"Don't blame those who don't know. When the time comes, they will suffer the consequences if they go in!"
Zhao Hong shook his head and snorted coldly, then stepped forward, followed by Zhou Ping and Tian Yi, and the three of them boarded the flower boat together.
After getting on the boat and entering the inner room, I saw that it was indeed rich and magnificent, with carved beams and painted pillars, fragrant clothes, and endless traffic, all of them rich and noble people.
"Your Majesty, this is much more luxurious than your palace!"
Tian Yi shook his head and looked around enviously.
"This is really an eye-opener for me!"
Looking at the indescribable luxury on board, Zhao Hong was also secretly frightened.
One day, these fireworks sites will have to be shut down. Otherwise, officials would have no intention of doing their jobs well.
"Several high-ranking officials, this is the flower boat of Li Xiangxiang and Li's family, the head of the Jinling family, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is as beautiful as a flower. Do you want her to accompany the young masters?"
The old bustard's eyes immediately lit up when he saw that Zhao Hong and the others were well-dressed and well-looking.
It's just dark now, so it's not the best time for business. There are a lot of distinguished guests, who play the piano and sing songs, eat, drink and have fun, and make a lot of money.
"Mom, please prepare some food and wine. We brothers are hungry, so we will eat and drink at the same time. We are all ready."
Zhao Hong smiled slightly, and Zhou Ping presented the treasure banknote at the right time.
"Young masters, please wait a moment. Miss Xiangxiang will be here soon!"
The madam smiled happily and quickly retreated.
"I have met several high-ranking officials!"
Xiangxiang came in, with snow-white skin, a beautiful waist, and a slender jade body under the light ruffles that made people salivate. She was indeed the head of Jinling's line, and it aroused the excitement in every heart.
"Everyone Li, we are in trouble."
Zhao Hong smiled slightly and made the opening remarks.
Xiangxiang went over to play the piano, and Zhao Hong whispered to the two of them.
"Whoever falls in love with this Xiangxiang, you two, I will redeem her life."
It would be a pity to have such a good figure and be fucked by pigs all day long.
"drink wine!"
"Forget it. Leave it to your own harem!"
Tian Yi and Zhou Ping waved their hands and declined in low voices.
"The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone, but the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times."
The sound of the piano sounded, Wu Nong whispered, and Zhao Hong smiled slightly, it turned out to be the song "Linjiang Immortal".
Tian Yi and Zhou Ping looked at each other and smiled.
It seems that the masterpiece of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has become famous all over the country and has spread throughout the brothels and tile shops.
"Master Li, your playing seems not as good as my young master's."
After listening for a moment, Tian Yi couldn't help but speak out.
"Do high-ranking officials also know how to play the piano?"
The sound of Xiangxiang Qin paused and he looked at Zhao Hong in surprise.
"Everyone Li, don't listen to his nonsense. He's the one who plays you."
Zhao Hong smiled slightly and asked Li Xiangxiang to continue.
Literature is not the first, martial arts is not the second. Playing the piano depends on the state of mind, so there is a truth about who is good and who is bad.
The wine and food were served, and the piano was played. Everyone sat down at the table and began to drink and eat.
"Everyone Li, has Gu Tongpan not come recently? If he came, wouldn't we be embarrassed?"
Zhou Ping and Zhao Hong looked at each other, and Zhou Ping took the lead in starting the conversation.
