Chapter 35
Riding on the colorful boat, passing through the lotus pond, the sing of the oars startled to sleep with the mandarin ducks.
As night approaches, there are countless pleasure boats on the Spring Sorrow River, the lanterns along the coast are brightly lit, and the sounds of silk and bamboo are floating everywhere.
Fu Chengze and Fu Chengxun brothers came to the gate of Xiangsi Pavilion. They were both wearing new clothes. Although they had not been in Beijing for many days, the two were already the same as the rich children in the capital in terms of dressing.
Fu Chengze was still a little embarrassed and stood outside and couldn't go in. But Fu Chengxun couldn't wait and urged, "Brother, why are you standing there? Go in quickly!"
Fu Chengze insisted: "It's not a good idea to come to such a place after all, let's go back!"
Fu Chengxun could not let him go, and grabbed his arm and said, "We are here just to listen to music and listen to some things by the way. You don't know, customers like to gossip the most when they come here. We just need to hear a few useful words and tell their parents when we go back, maybe they can really help!"
The things Fu Yu has not yet settled, and the whole family is like an ant on a hot pan.
However, although Fu Chengxun said this, his real purpose was not this. He just used this to be careless and pulled his brother to serve as a shield for himself.
When Fu Chengze heard him say this, he reluctantly nodded and agreed.
This is not the first time Fu Chengxun has been here, so he went straight to Xiao Taohong as soon as he entered the door.
Another girl standing next to Xiao Taohong stepped forward and held Fu Chengze's hand. Young Master Fu's pale face turned red. After struggling for a while, he couldn't break free, so he simply let her hold it.
After a while, Su Haoyi was wearing a lotus-colored gauze robe, a small golden tortoise hanging on his belt, and a mud-gold fan in his hand, and a gust of breeze floated in.
When the girls in Xiangsi Pavilion saw her, they immediately surrounded her and flirted one by one, wishing they could stick to her.
At this time, someone upstairs sneered: "Su Balang, why didn't you let the dog take him away? Are you still alive?"
Su Haoyi looked up and smiled, "Sister Hua, do you still hate me?"
The person who talked to her was Hua Feifei, among the four beautys of spring sorrow, who was in her early twenties, cold and fierce, and beautiful.
"Bah! You deserve to let me think about you!" Hua Feifei said as she threw half of betel nut and beat Su Haoyi.
Su Haoyi tilted his head and the betel nut hit Fu Chengxun behind her.
"I'm sorry!" Su turned around and fisted, "Please forgive me!"
Seeing that Su Haoyi was dressed in a beautiful manner, the characters were handsome, and the girls were all around her, they thought she must be the son of a rich and powerful family.
Therefore, he also said angrily: "It's okay, that girl was also inadvertent."
Su Haoyi praised the two of them, and then turned around and said to the turtle slave here: "Put four snacks for these two young men and keep them in my account, so I will be apologized."
At this time, Aunt Liu, the madam in Xiangsi Pavilion, knew that Su Haoyi had come, so she asked her to go upstairs to talk.
He asked, "Haruo, why do you have time to come here today? Are your mother okay? Since we met last month, we haven't met again yet. We're just busy every day."
"Aunt Liu hasn't gone to our side. I haven't seen you for a long time. I've been thinking about it very much, so I came over and take a look." Su said with a good smile.
"You monkey boy are still teasing me." Aunt Liu couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't you run to me and seduce a girl again, right? Please spare me! The Hua Feifei who was seeking death last year had to go to you. After all, it's not because of you. Speaking of which, what are you doing today?"
Su shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's nothing. Didn't Sister Hua stay well with you? How could anyone trained by Aunt Liu like me? I just came here and there was nothing important."
"If you have something to do, just say it. Don't be polite to me. If you have nothing to do, just play it casually! Just think it's like being at your own home." Aunt Liu said with a smile.
"Okay!" Su agreed with a smile, "Then I'll go downstairs and have fun with my sisters."
She arrived below, and basically all the guests who came knew her. Yugui also happened to come. When she saw Su Haoyi, she smiled and said, "I went to you before but didn't see you. I didn't expect to meet you here. I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. Since I met me today, I'm here to treat you!"
Su Haoyi knew Yugui's temperament and did not argue with him. He bowed and said, "Then I will thank Uncle Yu. I will wait for you for a new book."
"Then I'll be asking for it this time." Yugui laughed with her hands.
Fu Chengxun, who was standing by, has always been paying attention to Su Haoyi and quietly asked Xiao Taohong: "What is that Hachiro's identity?"
"You don't recognize him? He is famous in our generation." Xiao Taohong said while peeling peanuts: "He is the son of the courtesan of our place. Although he is an adopted son to the outside world, we all think he is his biological child. The Chuyao Pavilion opened by his family is the top brothel in the capital. You have never been there yet? It is much more grand than ours."
Of course, Fu Chengxun had heard of Chuyao Pavilion, but knew that the cost was high, so he never dared to go there.
"Which family do I think of it? It turns out to be a little turtle slave." Fu Chengze next to him smiled.
Xiao Taohong was a little unhappy when she heard this and said, "Su Balang's identity is of course not noble, but it is said that many officials in the capital are not as good as him. He is the wise brother of the leader of the Boat Gang. He often dates the young master of the Gao family and the young master of the Sima family, and often goes to and from Princess Xihua's house. Look, the one who drinks with him now is the second master of the Hou Yu family in Zhuiyuan."
Fu Chengze didn't talk to each other anymore. Fu Chengxun's eyes lit up more and more when he heard this.
The Sima family and the Gao family were nobles they didn't dare to think about. Even the Yu family was far from reaching.
Compared to Zong Hong, who has no title and is only a fifth-rank official, is not a little bit higher than that.
"Brother, do you think if we can get along with him..." Fu Chengxun and his brother bit their ears.
"Stop messing around. How can we children do such a thing? Even if he has a good relationship with these people, how can he interfere in the government affairs?" Fu Chengze shook his head and said, "If that's the case, why don't he become an official?"
But Fu Chengxun didn't agree with it. He felt that Su Balang was born in a humble background and did not study, so of course he could not go on a career.
But it doesn’t mean that he can’t help but make things like this. As long as you can hand over the money, how can you not do it?
Seeing that his brother had no intention of this, he thought in his mind that if this matter was done, it would not only allow their family to stay in the capital smoothly, but also make friends with many talented and noble people in the capital.
The more Fu Chengxun thought about it, the more beautiful he became. Just then, Su Haoyi turned around and looked at him, and nodded with a smile.
