Chapter 230: On the Flower Boat
Han Jian and Ma San and the others returned to the Cao Gang General Altar together, and as soon as Ma San told him about the previous encounter with Qian Su Oak, Feng Ju asked, "Brother Li, do you recognize the woman on the flower boat?" ”
"There is a one-sided relationship, which is not recognized. I heard that this female name is Qiansu oak, and she is quite famous in the Jiangnan generation. Han Jian said.
When it comes to "Qiansu oak", Feng Ju and others also look at each other, they are all pawns of market vendors, and it is normal that they have not heard the name of Qiansu oak.
Feng Ju said: "Since this Miss Qian is kind to invite, don't look like we are too petty." We must do enough in the number of ceremonies tonight, and we can't lose the face of our Cao Gang. ”
Han Jian said: "Master Feng, Brother Ke intends to go together tonight, right?" ”
Feng Ju said with a smile: "Brother Ke is willing to come, so he is naturally welcome." I'm afraid she won't come. ”
Han Jian smiled, first Xiaohe returned to the small courtyard, and at sunset, Feng Ju and Ma San and others came over dressed up, ready to go to the flower boat of Qiansu Quercus in the Qianhuai River with Han Jian. Han Jian explained to Xiaohe, asked her to take care of her home, and then came out to prepare to leave.
"Brother Li, didn't you say that Brother Ke would come, why didn't you see her?" Feng Ju looked at Han Jian and asked.
"That Brother Ke is from the rivers and lakes, he came and went without a trace, she can't say for sure." Han Jian said.
"I see." Feng Ju nodded, and no longer asked Ke Qu'er about it.
At this time, it is the time to turn on the lights, the road is already very dark, the Qinhuai River is lit up, many flower boats hidden in which channel during the day, at night are on the river, singing and dancing are a prosperous scene.
Several people walked to the front of the thousand oak boat. Qian Suli did not come out to greet him in person, but sent two maids out.
"Guests, please get on board." The maid was very polite, Han Jian looked at it, he hadn't seen the maid with a long mouth before.
"There are two girls." Feng Ju was also the first time to attend such an occasion, but he had made some preparations, and immediately asked the brother to give a reward of money, but the two maids refused to accept it, "Two girls, why are you so polite?" ”
"It's my young lady. We are not allowed to receive gifts privately. The maid said respectfully.
"Then I won't be reluctant to do it." Feng Ju finished speaking. Directly got on the boat with Han Jian and others.
There weren't many people Feng Ju brought this time, except for some entourages who were responsible for staying on the shore, and those who could get on the boat were some veterans. Including Han Jian, Dong Sheng, Ma San, Li Gandang and the elders of the two gangs, a total of seven people.
got on board. Feng Ju couldn't help but sigh a little. After all, the flower boat of Qiansu oak is one of the largest flower boats on the Qinhuai River. A few days ago, it was just a foreman. Now he is the big boss of the Cao Gang, attending such a scene.
"Brother Li, we don't know the rules very well. If there is a faux pas, you can mention it later. Before entering, Feng Ju said to Han Jian again.
"Hmm." Han Jian nodded.
A group of seven people entered the first floor of the flower boat under the guidance of the maid on the boat, and after passing the door curtain, a very spacious hall room was in front of everyone. There are a few lanterns hanging in the hall, which are not bright, but they are enough to illuminate the whole room without appearing dim. The hall has a few small windows, the whole layout is very simple, there is no luxury of the general banquet room, a screen is separated from the hall, and the staircase connecting to the second floor is behind the hall.
In the center of the hall there seems to be a very wide round table, which is not as flat as a normal table, but has a groove and a side on all sides. This is due to the unique environment of the ship, so that the dishes are placed on top of the ship, and the ship will not overturn the food and drinks.
"Guests, please be seated." The maid greeted.
"Youlao, this girl, I don't know when your young lady will come out?" Feng Ju asked everyone to sit down first, and asked the maid casually.
"My young lady is preparing upstairs, and she will come out to meet the guests later." The maid said and exited the cabin together, leaving only the seven of them in the hall.
When everyone went out and everyone sat down, Li Dangdang was a little angry and said, "Hey! He said he invited us to come, not to mention the drinks, not even tea. Just sit here and people are still hiding? ”
Han Jian said: "Generally, it is difficult for Wang Sun Guizhou to come to Qiansu Oak's flower boat to have a cup of tea, do you think she will come out to entertain us lightly?" ”
Li Dangdang was a little surprised: "This woman surnamed Qian, such a big spectrum? ”
Han Jian sighed slightly, although a talented woman like Qian Suli in Jiangnan is a person in the dust, no one dares to treat her as a person in the dust. This is still Qiansu Quercus came to Jinling City in a hurry, and the preparation was not sufficient, if it was changed to normal times, just next to her main flower boat, there would be a lot of foil flower boats as a lining. Travel like an aircraft carrier.
As he spoke, the curtain reopened, and the two maids from before each came in with a food box with a lid. Opening the food box, which was full of delicate dishes, the two maids began to serve the dishes one by one.
"Two girls, what is this?" Feng Ju looked at the two maids a little puzzled and asked.
"This official does not have a stove on the ship, and he never entertains guests. This time, in order to entertain you, the young lady specially instructed us to order wine and food in Wangxiang Building, and the wine and food will be gradually served on the table, so please bear with me. The maid said respectfully.
"There is labor." Feng Ju nodded with a smile.
Waiting for the maid to retreat, Li Dangdang complained again: "It's still a big book, such a big ship, can't even open the stove?" So what do they eat every day? ”
"We don't have to worry about what we eat." Han Jian smiled, "Since you are willing to entertain us, it can be regarded as giving face." Why don't we move the chopsticks first? ”
Feng Ju said: "Brother Li, the master's house has not come out, so ...... Not okay? ”
Han Jian sighed: "It's still a question whether the master's family will come out." ”
In Han Jian's mind, since Qiansu Oak is a small-bellied chicken intestine, this banquet is not a normal banquet, and it may be a disadvantage for the Cao Gang. Although it is said that it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain, the Cao Gang is not a gentleman, and Qiansu Quercus is not as knowledgeable as the Cao Gang, but Han Jian doesn't know how big this Qiansu Quercus's background is, if people don't come out overnight, they will wait here all night?
Han Jian was about to pick up his chopsticks, but he heard the sound of small footsteps behind the screen. With the sound of footsteps, Qian Suqi was dressed in a pale red long skirt, holding a flower hairpin on her head, and the lotus foot slowly walked out of the screen, holding a small folding fan in her hand, and walked over to this side with a smile.
Seeing the beauty of Qiansu Oak, even this group of men who were incomprehensible to the five or three coarse customs couldn't help but be moved, and they were stunned on the spot for a while.
"This must be Miss Qian." Feng Ju was the first to turn around, got up and saluted.
At this time, the others got up one after another.
"The little woman is." Qian Su Oak bowed slightly and said with a smile, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”
Li Dangdang said with a big grin: "This is the Feng master of the Cao Gang." ”
"It turned out to be the head of the Cao Gang. Courteous. Qian Su Oak saluted again, turned to look at Han Jian, and seemed to ask in his smiling eyes, why didn't you make an introduction?
Han Jian cleared his throat and introduced everyone present to Qian Su Oak with a smile. Qiansu oak saluted one by one.
In the end, Qian Suli said: "You are all heroes of the Cao Gang, the little girl likes to make friends with the heroes of the three mountains and five mountains on weekdays, and it is the honor of the little woman to get acquainted with you this time." ”
"Miss Qian is polite." Feng Ju, as the big boss of the Cao Gang, this is the time for him to show his face. Although he also knew that what Qian Suli said was nothing more than a scene, it was also very useful to him.
But at this moment, a voice came from far and near outside the cabin: "Does Miss Qian welcome such a reckless man in Xia?" ”
Although the voice was full of energy, it was a little delicate, and Han Jian knew that it was Ke Qu'er when he heard it. As the voice came, the door curtain suddenly flashed, and a white figure shot in like a sharp arrow, making everyone present a little too late to react.
When everyone looked down, they saw that a white dress was already standing in front of everyone, at this time, Ke Qu'er was dressed in men's clothes, and the lupine scarf looked like a chic son. Han Jian's eyes fell on her mediocre chest, and he sighed in his heart, this must have done something.
"Who is this son?" Ke Qu'er calmed down a little, looked at Ke Qu'er and asked.
Feng Ju was afraid of being misunderstood, so he hurriedly introduced: "This Brother Ke is the honorary elder of our Cao Gang, and he is also attending the banquet today, but some things have been delayed. ”
"Brother Ke?" Qian Suyu looked at Ke Qu'er's face, and with her knowledge, it was not difficult to find that Ke Qu'er in front of her was actually a woman.
Ke Qu'er smiled and apologized to everyone, and everyone else smiled, they naturally knew Ke Qu'er's ability, and they would not have any trouble with Ke Qu'er's coming and going.
"Guys, it's too late." Ke Qu'er stepped forward as she spoke, turned to look at Qian Suli and said, "Miss Qian, you haven't answered the next question yet." ”
Qian Su Quercus barely calmed down slightly, and Han Jian guessed from her small reaction that she was actually guessing Ke Qu'er's origin.
"They are both heroes and heroes, and the little girl is naturally welcome." Qiansu oak is very natural, and said to Ke Qu'er with a smile.
"That's good, I'm afraid that coming here will disturb Miss Qian's interest."
After Ke Qu'er finished speaking, everyone sat down again, and Ke Qu'er deliberately sat next to Han Fitness. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was changing seats, Han Jian asked in a low voice, "Do you recognize her?" ”
"Where do I meet?" Ke Qu'er also replied in a low voice.
"Oh." Han Jian nodded slightly, and said with a narrow smile on his face, "Don't always tie up in front, it's easy to stunt." ”
"Huh?" Ke Qu'er glanced at Han Jian in confusion, but when she saw Han Jian's smile, she understood what Han Jian meant, her face turned red, she glared at Han Jian fiercely and said, "You wait, I must spoil your good deeds." ”
This time it was Han Jian's turn to be puzzled: "What's a good thing?" ”
"You still don't know why she came to Jinling City, do you?" Ke Qu'er smiled proudly, as if she knew something but didn't tell Han Jian.
Han Jian couldn't hear what was contained in these words, at this time, the banquet had already begun, and the wine and food were almost ready.
Qiansu oak also began to come over to toast everyone, but it was tea instead of wine. (To be continued......)
