At night, there is a bustling scene near the 24th Bridge of Yangzhou's famous scenery, and there are all kinds of restaurants and restaurants hanging pink palace lights, illuminating the entire Yangzhou West City is particularly soft.

There is only one of the 24 bridges left in later generations, and when Yangzhou was the most prosperous in the middle of the Song Dynasty, there were really 24 inner city river bridges with different shapes and unique styles.

This is all recorded in the supplement of Mengxi's pen talk, but unfortunately in the Yuanyou period, because of the silting up of the river, most of the river network in Yangzhou City was paved into streets and alleys, but the charm of Yingying Water Town is still there.

Tucuilou was not originally a famous building in Yangzhou City, but later there was a famous player with extraordinary piano skills, and business improved.

At the beginning of the night, many benefactors came, they were dressed in different ways, some looked like scholars, some were dressed as merchants, and naturally there were also high-rollers.

The bustard mother and the turtle boy welcomed the guests in, called the warblers and swallows over, and naturally wrapped themselves around the guests.

If the guests were happy to come out with some broken silver, they would speak even more of these flattering words, and they would not forget to rub a pair of ripe peaches on the guest's arms.

A delicate-looking, white-skinned little student stepped in with his head down, and the bustard's mother could see at a glance that it was a raw melon, and one foot was a little lame, so she had the heart to come up and make fun.

It's just that before she could say anything, saliva flowed out first, and the pink-faced Xiaosheng looked at her with a trace of annoyance in his eyes, but he pinched a silver ingot from his waist in his hand and handed it to the bustard's mother.

He said in a calm voice, "I sent someone to book a single room called Plum Blossom Pavilion at noon, and I don't want you to find someone to serve you later, just prepare some good wine and food."

If someone comes to ask Mei Hua Pavilion and bothers you to bring someone up, these are considered as rewards for you. ”

In these years, there were no ingots, and the silver was either made into silver bricks and silver cakes, or poured into small pottery bowls to make silver ingots like egg tarts in later generations, and only the meritorious and famous officials or the rich and noble could spend it.

The bustard's mother has also seen a lot of rich people who visit the Qinglou, but it is the first time that she has given such a large reward before the door has entered, although the eyes of the powder-faced Xiaosheng look at her make her a little unhappy, but who will have trouble with the silver?

She couldn't laugh in her eyes, took the silver ingot and pinched it with her sharp and hard nails, and then called a turtle boy with a smile, "Take this son to Meihua Pavilion, good wine and good food are served!" ”

Xiaosheng limped upstairs with Guigong, indifferent to the warbler Yanyan in the hall on the first floor, and even more deaf to the laughter.

When he sat down in the relatively quiet Meihua Pavilion, he sent the turtle man out, and after a while the wine and food came up, and Xiao Sheng grabbed some big money for the servants, and told them to close the door and go out, and not to disturb if there was nothing important.

When Mei Hua Pavilion's door was closed, Xiao Shengzi's face showed more disgust, maybe because he was not a complete man, so he felt particularly disgusted with the people and things in this kind of place.

It's just that he wants to meet with a person who shouldn't have met in Yangzhou City, and he has no better choice, and Tucuilou is the most suitable place for convenience.

After sitting down and pouring a glass of wine alone, Xiao Shengzi went to pinch his throat again, and speaking so calmly made his throat a little uncomfortable.

He kept looking at the door, not knowing when the person he had agreed to would come, let alone who would come.

In fact, he also guessed something, many things that have happened recently, they are too strange, and he realized that someone is going to move Zhao Xianqiu.

And in Jiangnan, there are people who dare to get along with Zhao Xianqiu, except for the new Lord Qincha, he can't think of anyone else.

As for why Zhao Xianqiu was moved, he naturally knew it in his heart. Don't look at his submissiveness to Zhao Xianqiu on weekdays, and he still regards himself as a godgrandson, but he doesn't have a good impression of Zhao Xianqiu.

The things that Zhao Xianqiu has done, he has been clear in the past two years, and he can't look past it, but it's a pity that he can't help but take care of the position he is in, and he must be humble in front of Zhao Xianqiu to please him.

But now it's different, this Qin Cha who came this time is not the same, when he was still in the palace, he heard of this Yang Huairen, that is the master who has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager and the official family called to the palace.

The Empress Dowager is gone, but the official family treats this Yang Huairen better, because of this year's military exploits, he was unusually promoted to the only foreign surname prince at the moment.

Therefore, if someone is replaced as a messenger, Xiao Shengzi doesn't believe that they will be able to move the old fox Zhao Xianqiu, but Yang Huairen is different, he came with the forbidden army, 20,000 forbidden troops, it is enough to sweep Jiangnan.

And what Xiaoshengzi appreciates the most is that this prince is secretive, and on the surface he seems to get along well with Zhao Xianqiu, but after leaving Yangzhou, he left a secret force and secretly monitored everything about Caoyun Yamen and Zhao Xianqiu.

Xiao Shengzi had already discovered this, and he had already calculated in his heart, Zhao Xianqiu's matter was secret, if Yang Huairen couldn't find any evidence, he would pretend to be a person who had nothing to do.

If Yang Huairen had any conclusive evidence, he would stand up and tell many things he had mastered, and he would have no psychological pressure to betray Zhao Xianqiu.

Judging from some things in the past two days, some people have already set their sights on Hongyun Buzhuang, and Xiaoshengzi knows that Zhao Xianqiu's secret has been guessed, and maybe he has already set a date and is ready to start.

He must take the first step forward at this time, otherwise, he may end up suffering with Zhao Xianqiu.

Maybe it's because of those things in the palace, Xiaoshengzi now sees his life very thoroughly, that is, don't think too much, the most important thing is to live, no matter what method you use or who you betray.

The osmanthus wine of Tucuilou is from Xujia Village outside the city, the wine taste is light, but the aroma is strong, but it is very suitable for the taste of Xiaoshengzi.

He took another drink, and couldn't help but look at the door again, through the screen window, he could see people walking around from time to time, but they were all little maids and servants who came and went to serve food and wine, and no one stopped in front of the door of Meihua Pavilion.

Xiao Shengzi looked out the window again, although there were some faint clouds in the empty sky, but the waning moon was faintly bright, and the moonlight sprinkled down and blended with those pink candles, which made people a little intoxicated.

He touched his chest, the thing had been warmed by his body temperature, and this thing was his bargaining chip for a while, no matter what the outcome of Zhao Xianqiu was this time, he couldn't be implicated in any way.

He got up and walked to the window, looked up at the moonlight, and took a deep breath of fresh, cool air, when suddenly a figure flew towards him from the roof in front of him......
