Gu Jinzhi nodded, and took two steps forward, couldn't help sneaking a peek at Jiang Li behind him from the corner of his eye, and swallowed the sentence after thinking about it again and again, seeing Jiang Li being supported by the maid and going upstairs, Gu Jinzhi instinctively stopped After Jiang Li followed, the two walked up to the largest private room on the fourth floor at a very slow pace.

The private room is transparent and bright, and there is a terrace extending outside. The terrace is facing the wide and clear Yueting Lake, and the viewing effect is excellent.The interior is not gorgeous, but elegant and light, giving people a comfortable feeling of physical and mental relaxation.

"Your Highness, please sit down." Jiang Li waited for Gu Jinzhi to sit down on the futon first, then walked two steps away and sat opposite Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi waited for him to sit down, so he asked naturally: "It seems that the young master is about the same age as this king. This king has just lost the crown, so why don't you ask my son Guigeng?"

Jiang Li said: "Before the weak crown, the year of dancing elephants."

Gu Jinzhi smiled and asked, "Are there any brothers and sisters in the family?"

"No."

Gu Jinzhi nodded knowingly, "Since the young master is the only son in the family, he must take care of his father and Lingtang more. Dangerous things like last night must not be done in the future."

These words made Jiang Li's originally indifferent face visibly stiff, and Gu Jinzhi, who had a delicate mind, immediately noticed it, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Li's expression returned to calm, seeing that Gu Jinzhi was determined not to give up until he got an answer, so he could only say flatly: "My father and mother have long since died of illness, and Caomin is alone, with no roots or ties, so naturally he has nothing to worry about."

Gu Jinzhi was taken aback for a moment, and realized on the spot that he had asked something he didn't dare to ask, and even said something he shouldn't have said. It reminded people of the sad past without telling them, and it also aroused people's involuntary feelings of suffering in Xiangxue Pavilion one after another.For a while, he blamed himself for talking too much and not being tongue-tied, and didn't know how to comfort Jiang Li, so he bowed his hands to him to express his apology, and said, "I don't want to make you sad, since my parents are dead, I should Cherish yourself. In a situation like last night, I know the young master is helpless. I am deeply admirable for the young master’s tenacity and arrogance.

Jiang Li said softly, "Your Highness praises you so much, the grassroots are terrified."

"I told you, don't call yourself a grassroots." Gu Jinzhi's tone was very light, for fear that his status as a prince would scare Jiang Li.Although the wish to get along with each other sincerely regardless of identity cannot be realized, but at least don't let the other party be afraid. Once there is restraint, the taste will change.

Yu Tai looked at the outdoor sundial, leaned close to Gu Jinzhi's ear and reminded, "Your Highness, it's time to take the medicinal diet."

Although Gu Jinzhi felt a little bit reluctant, he got up to leave.

"Young Master Jiang, please take care of your health. Don't forget to use the elixir this king gave you."

Jiang Li took a step closer, "Your Highness, walk slowly."

"My lord, you don't have to see him off, just stay." Gu Jinzhi smiled at him gently, but his eyes were particularly piercing.

After watching Gu Jinzhi leave, Jiang Li returned to the room, and Die Die was waiting outside the door, holding the red sandalwood box in his hand.

"Musician fell and injured his body last night, why don't you just use these medicines, Lord Shu's medicine must be good." Butterfly saw Jiang Li nodded, and brought the box into the room with small steps.

The slightly famous Huaniang in Xiangxue Pavilion will have a maid to serve her personally, such as dressing and dressing, serving tea and beating her legs.But Jiang Li has always done it by himself, and doesn't need anyone to serve her. The maid just needs to talk about something and leave, and she can put something down.Butterfly, who was used to it for a long time, was about to leave after a few routine exhortations, but Jiang Li suddenly stopped her.

Butterfly stopped and turned back: "What other orders does the musician have?"

"Wan Qin, the young owner of Wansheng Bank, do you recognize him?"

Butterfly thought for a while: "Is that the son of the rich man who traveled thousands of miles? He is a well-known playboy in the capital. He is ignorant, spends his days and drinks, and only knows how to gnaw the old. How could the musician mention him?"

Jiang Li responded casually: "I heard the girls said a few words."

Butterfly smiled happily: "He is so rich, the girls are naturally flattering. Just last month, Sister Lianqiao and Sister Guizhi had a big fight over Wanqin, and my mother was very angry. Why don't you say that whoever earns money from your sisters doesn't earn money? In fact, it's the same, Wanqin rewarded her secretly, didn't she all secretly reward her."

Jiang Li continued, "He doesn't seem to come here often."

"That's because he was fascinated by the geisha in Liuchun Building on West Street, and he ran there all day long, spending a lot of money on Liu Xin'er, the oiran, and the girls in Xiangxue Pavilion are all jealous! "Butterfly said it in a relaxed and cheerful manner, as if watching her family's jokes is not a big deal.

Jiang Li leaned on the couch and thought about it.

"By the way, the musician, the nephew of Shaoqing in Dali Temple, that Li Zhen was suddenly seriously ill. It is said that he fell into a coma as soon as he got home. It was useless for his father to find the best doctor in the capital. Li Zhen was paralyzed in the lower limbs. , people are also groggy, half-foolish but not stupid."

"Really?" Jiang Li's expression was startled, and Die Die smiled and said, "So the musician didn't know. If that's the case, don't you feel very surprised? Dare to disrespect the musician, he deserves to be punished by God."

"Yeah." There was a deep gleam in Jiang Li's eyes, and a subtle coldness flashed across his eyes.

At night again, Xiangxue Pavilion was buzzing with people, Mother Hua and the girls were busy greeting the guests, and Wan Furong was fully prepared, and appeared again under the attention of everyone.The strength of the oiran still exists, and after recovering from a long illness, she has a natural morbid beauty. In the sea of ​​hibiscus flowers everywhere, Wan Furong dances lightly, beautiful and soft, and wins applause from all the halls.Mother Hua smiled from ear to ear, and when Wan Furong stepped down, she kept saying that she had worked hard.

However, Wan Furong knew in her heart that some of the guests present came for Jiang Li.

Who knows, Jiang Yueshi stationed in Xiangxue Pavilion is a person who is so self-willed that people can only worry about it.He is superb at playing the piano, but he doesn't play it every day.When to perform on stage depends entirely on whether the individual is in a good or bad mood.If you are in a bad mood today, you can play a song to cheer you up.I will be in a better mood tomorrow, but I will not be able to leave behind closed doors.Mother Hua can't do anything to him, and the guests can't afford to offend this charming and beautiful man—they can't bear to mess with him!

Therefore, from the royal family to the marquis, down to the old man who sells sesame seed cakes, they all found the truth in getting along with each other for many years.That is - wait!

Every day, I ran to the Xiangxue Pavilion to squat in the pit, and rushed in as soon as I heard the sound of the piano.If not, come back the next day and wait, and the cycle continues continuously, and gradually a lot of "regular customers" have accumulated near Xiangxue Pavilion.

Wan Furong took the time to go back to the room to change clothes to catch her breath. Although she is a well-known oiran all over the world, she has her own favorites, and she can't capture everyone.

As she was walking, Wan Furong's eyes suddenly blurred, and a black shadow rushed over, which frightened her for a moment, and hurriedly called to the servant girl beside her: "Did you see a black shadow go up there?"

The servant girl shook her head: "No, sister, you read it wrong, the upstairs is Master Jiang Yue's room, who dares to go up there casually."

Wan Furong sighed lightly: "It's true."

Downstairs, singing and dancing are peaceful, while upstairs is cool and quiet.The flame on the candlestick was burning brightly, suddenly it twitched, and the light in the room flickered on and off, disturbing Jiang Li who was reading at night while lighting up the lamp.

Jiang Li put down the book slowly, looked up and looked outside the door, and sure enough there was a figure standing there.

"Sir?"

"Come in." Jiang Li tidied up the book casually.The man opened the door and came in, his footsteps landed silently, walked to the table in a few steps, and whispered: "Young Master, I have contacted the people in Jiushu. He said that everything is complete, and Wanqin will go to Yueting Lake for a lake tour tomorrow night."

The person who came was Qingyan.

"Okay." Jiang Li's tone was always as calm as water, calm, without the slightest excitement or anxiety: "I've got one thing for you."

Qing Yan immediately clasped her fists and obeyed: "My lord, just tell me."

"The shopkeeper Zhu who runs the silk and satin business at Dongjiekou, go and check on her."

Qing Yan came to a sudden, "My lord suspects that she is also from Zhuhui?"

"Check it out first. As far as I know, this person is thoughtful and sweet-talking. You have to be careful when you deal with her, and don't be tricked by her." Jiang Li's tone was calm, but there was a murderous look on his face: "If you prove it If you are from Zhuhui, then you..."

Qing Yan hurriedly cupped her hands and nodded, "This subordinate understands."

Thousands of miles of Yueting Lake runs through Jinling City.The moonlight shines, and the floating light jumps into gold.

There is a painting boat floating on the lake, which is very luxuriously decorated.The hull is engraved with auspicious and brilliant patterns, and there are wine tables on board, on which are placed various refreshments and rare wines.

The house slave also carefully prepared a bouquet of Chinese roses and placed it in the center of the table as a decoration. Wanqin beside him was unbearably hungry, so he grabbed a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and ate them. , I just invite Xin'er to the house to eat, drink and talk about love, what's the point of going to Yueting Lake to swim in the lake and enjoy the moon, how poetic and picturesque it is."

"Hey, young master, as long as you are happy." The house slave nodded and bowed, and filled Wanqin's wine glass like a dog.

"Okay, if my heart can be happy this time, I will give you a lot of rewards." Wan Qin picked up the wine glass and drank it down. While speaking, two people came slowly from a distance. It was the one in the light green dress. Liu Xin'er and her maid.

Wanqin's eyes lit up, she hurriedly got up and warmly greeted her: "Xin'er, you've come, my young master is anxious to wait."

Liu Xin'er lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, she was used to expressing affection with her eyes, a single look could make Wan Qin's soul fly away.With the support of Wan Qin, she entered the cabin and gently took off her veil. Under the moonlight, her beautiful face appeared more delicate and hazy. She laughed and talked gracefully, dancing gracefully, and Wan Qin's eyeballs almost disappeared. On Liu Xin'er.

"Honey, you're so pretty." Wanqin drank a glass of strong wine, her stomach was warm, and she couldn't care less about being restrained because of the alcohol, so she hugged Liu Xin'er from behind.Liu Xin'er is good at refusing to greet, and it makes Wanqin's heart so hot.

"Master, it's outside." Liu Xin'er pushed Wan Qin away, and then asked coquettishly, pretending to be annoyed: "Does the young master just like Xin'er's appearance?"

Seeing that the person in her arms seemed unhappy, Wan Qin hurriedly comforted her: "Don't think about it, baby, I like everything about you, not only your appearance, but also your inner..."

The sudden sound of the piano made the hearts of the two people tremble, and even the house slave Erlu who was in charge of rowing the boat was dumbfounded and followed the source of the sound.

"Who is playing the piano?" It was Liu Xin'er who spoke, she looked around from a distance like Erlu, and suddenly found the target in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, she exclaimed in surprise: "There!"

Wan Qin hurriedly followed the direction pointed by Liu Xin'er.
