Outside the Xiangxiang Courtyard, there are clusters of flowers.

The madam greeted the girls outside the door and took the guests' arms as they walked inside.

In front of Wei Zigeng and other people, a middle-aged man wearing an indigo-colored robe walked up, surrounded by servants. Although he was over forty years old, he was well-maintained, and his head was full of green hair that made others envious.

"Master Liu, you haven't come to our Lanchun Courtyard for a few days. Caifeng misses you so much every day."

The old bustard, who still had a charming charm, immediately burst out laughing when he saw the visitor, and the beauty of the two liang on his chest was about to come out.

The middle-aged man surnamed Liu had a stern look on his face. He waved his hand to the servants accompanying him to watch over him, and then came to the Madam alone.

"Is the wing ready?"

The madam smiled and gently brushed the middle-aged man's shoulder with the silk scarf in her hand.

"Mr. Liu, please don't worry. The entire third floor has been cleared for you. No one will disturb you."

The middle-aged man said "Hmm", with a smile on his face. He was very satisfied. He entered Lanchun Courtyard under the leadership of a strong turtle man. Before entering, he patted the old bustard's plump body without leaving any trace.

The madam's face turned red and she said "dead ghost" twice.

"Who is that person?"

Wei Zigeng looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

"This person is Liu Xiao, the governor of Guanyuan Prefecture in Lingzhou. He has a good reputation in Jianghuai and Jianghuai. There are no cases that he dare not solve, no things that he dares not say, and no one who dares to scorn. Therefore, the people call him Liu Sangan.

"

Xu Yue interrupted and said with a smile:

"You said that he is still a good official who dares to ask for orders for the people? But you look like this..."

The second young master Cheng on the side pretended to have a deep voice.

"The romance of a scholar is a beautiful thing. Besides, Mr. Liu has been in Guanyuan Mansion for nearly ten years. If he is as indifferent as usual, well, how many decades can he live without being tactful?"

How long will you stay in this Fuyin position?"

Wei Zigeng nodded. Back then, Liu Rui wanted to win over Wei Xian just because he wanted to secure his position as governor. He even did not hesitate to use sticks on his only son because of a joke. He had a pure martial artist in the upper three realms as his backer.

Why worry about being promoted to an official position?

"Lanchun Courtyard is the most frequent place for communication among officials."

Xu Yue had never seen this before. In Yuezhou City, he rarely even walked to the entrance of the brothel, let alone the doorway, but it still did not hinder his yearning for it.

Those sisters who still wear thin gauze clothes even in the cold winter must have some special stories, such as the parents who are bedridden for a long time at home, the younger brother who studies diligently in a rural private school but cannot afford the four treasures of the study, who wakes up early and stays late at night and has to collect pigs for the sake of the whole family.

The grass was cut to pieces by bracken, and my sister was completely covered with grass.

Thinking of this, Xu Yue felt even more uncomfortable. He just wanted to do his best to listen to their stories.

The young master Cheng Xi folded his folding fan and waved his hand.

"Put your tongue away, and I will take you to see it."

It was like a gust of wind blowing across the face of the old bustard and turtle, and the arrogant momentum made the two of them shudder. The two of them looked at the domineering arrogance.

I saw a group of four people. The leader, the young master, clapped his hand with a small sandalwood fan that was extremely delicate. He was very handsome. Beside him, the handsome second young master disguised as a man, dressed in white and carrying a pure white long knife, was even more eye-catching.

.

There were too many eyes on Wei Zigeng and Xu Yue, but few people paid attention to them.

"Why are these two ancestors here? The eldest lady doesn't know how to take care of the second lady and the young master."

Muttering in a low voice, the Madam and the Turtle came forward with flattering smiles.

"Second young lady, young master, I don't know..."

Just hearing a "snap" sound, a bright red slap mark immediately appeared on the old bustard's cheek. The force was so strong that he spit out two back molars. There was silence around. The onlookers who were about to have a seizure saw the slap next to the attacker.

The domineering figure suddenly lost its color and retreated back into the crowd.

"Second Young Master" Cheng Huan waved his hand and looked at the two of them indifferently.

"If you don't have good eyesight, how can there be a second lady here?"

The fake deep voice that I thought was funny before now only makes me feel chills running down my spine.

Only then did Wei Zigeng remember that the woman in front of him disguised as a man was not only Cheng Wenxia, ​​who was talked about by the Jianghuai culture, but also the second lady of Pinghu Villa, the number one force in Jiangnan Road.

The madam rubbed her swollen cheeks, the corners of her mouth were bleeding, but she still managed to put on an ugly smile.

"Hey hey hey, second...second young master."

Second Young Master Cheng Huan then said "Hmm", put his hands behind his back, and walked into Lanchun Courtyard under the leadership of Turtle Gong. The crowd automatically made way for them.

The young master Cheng Xi casually took out a five hundred tael silver note and stuffed it into the old madam's hand. The latter's eyes lit up when he saw the banknote, and the smile on his face became more sincere. How much money did he have in his back teeth? He encountered a hobby when he was young

A unique official has suffered more than this. The flesh and blood business has never been so easy to do.

"Take us to Lady Fufeng's courtyard."

Cheng Xi's harmless smile put the old madam in trouble at the moment. She followed the young master Cheng Xi in three steps and said in embarrassment:

"Young Master, today the governor is hosting a banquet for guests. The third floor has been reserved. What do you think of the second floor? A group of housekeepers have just arrived recently. The younger one has proven his integrity and is under strict discipline. I promise to let you and the

Your friends had a great time.”

After listening patiently to what she said, Cheng Xi still had an unchanging gentle smile on his face.

"Do I care about those vulgar fans? I pretend I didn't hear this sentence. If my father and eldest sister hear it, you will only have to deal with the consequences."

Everyone took a deep breath and turned their heads in a cryptic manner, forgetting the choice they had just made.

"Third brother, do you think that my second brother does not exist? I see, insulting my Pinghu Villa, there is no need for the existence of Lanchunyuan."

The sturdy Turtle Gong, who had brought Master Liu upstairs earlier, came downstairs and said with a smile:

"Four gentlemen, I will take you upstairs. There is no need to be like these idiots, so as not to stain your eyes."

Seeing the visitor, "Second Young Master" Cheng Huan and Young Young Master Cheng Xi softened their expressions slightly, nodded and followed them upstairs, leaving only the crowd of romantic guests in the hall sighing.

"Who is this? Do you know him?"

Xu Yue behind him asked Cheng Xi in front of him in a low voice. He couldn't help but feel doubtful about the muscular turtle in front of him.

"He? My second sister...brother, my second brother respects him as a rare infatuated person, and my second sister...brother, as you all know, that's why I have a slightly favorable attitude toward him, and I also treat him

Not so disgusting.

Xu Yue was very interested and stepped forward and asked:

"Oh? How do you say this?"

When Wei Zigeng heard this, his ears came closer.

They have always liked to listen to this kind of gossip. Such stories are more attractive than story-telling novels.

"I only know that everyone calls him "Wang Bazi". As for his original name, no one remembers it, and no one cares about it. When he was a teenager, he fell in love with a girl next door. They were originally a golden boy and a beautiful girl.

Unexpectedly, it backfired. When he went to Beijing to take the exam, the family sold the woman to Lanxiangyuan because they were too poor to take the exam. When he found out about it five years later, the woman thought she was no longer worthy.

He, the once talented young man, has become the most ridiculed Turtle Gong in this Lanxiang Courtyard. He stays with the woman in another form. This stay lasts for another five years. Fortunately, his parents have

It’s really ridiculous that I don’t care much about him when he is deceased.”

After saying that, Cheng Xi, Xu Yue and Wei Zigeng all sighed.

"The loss of his parents, the most unforgettable childhood shadow, has now become his support to be able to stay with the one he loves without worries. He never imagined that there would be such an infatuated person in this ruthless place. Alas, Brother Cheng is right,

This is indeed a joke."

With sighs, the four of them arrived on the third floor. Xu Yue had never seen much of the world, so he was naturally stunned. Wei Zigeng, on the other hand, was only slightly surprised after seeing the grandeur of Yuyu Tower.

Unlike the side-by-side rooms on the first and second floors, the third floor is a unique place.

The courtyard is deep, and a ginkgo tree as tall as three people's arms is planted in an open space. Surrounding the ginkgo tree are single courtyards with rugged rockeries and mist-filled water, just like a fairyland.

"Second young lady, young master, I didn't know that you two great masters would miss you so much."

Hearing this cold voice, Cheng Huan frowned and turned around, only to see a young man wearing black brocade clothes standing next to Liu Xiao, the governor of Guanyuan Prefecture. Yingying and Yanyan were surrounding them, including the worried ones.

Fufeng Oiran.

Cheng Xi unfolded his folding fan and said contemptuously:

"Who am I? It turns out to be the unpopular Young Master Shi from Border Town Villa. The master of Shi Villa has a mission today for you to come to Lanxiang Courtyard to kill someone?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiao, the governor of Guanyuan Prefecture who was originally prepared to act as a peacemaker, subconsciously took a few steps away from the two of them while holding a wine cup.

Who in Jiangnan Dao doesn't know that although Mr. Shi is the eldest son of Border Town Villa, he has always been used as a murder tool by the owner of the village and is not welcome.

Shi Chongji's original gloomy smile gradually solidified. This was originally the anger in his heart. Unexpectedly, he was now being explained by Cheng Xi, the young master of the Cheng Mansion of Pinghu Villa, one of the three giants in Jiangnan. How could he not be angry?

"Why does he say that I am just a dandy living under the protection of that old man Cheng Kongfang? How will you look like you when Cheng Kongfang dies?!"

Shi Chongji was jealous. He was jealous of all the young people who were favored and cultivated by the family, especially the playboy in front of him. Who knew that Mr. Cheng doted on his three children, especially his youngest son, to the point of doting.

There was a surge of energy, and the solid wood floor shattered under Shi Chongji's feet and spread rapidly in front of Cheng Xi and his party. The orioles and Yanyan beside them were so frightened by this scene that they trembled and hid in the distance.

Looking from Shi Chongji's side, Cheng Xi was calmly shaking his folding fan, and the second young lady Cheng Huan on the side also had an unusually calm expression.
