Chapter 84 The old fox who became a spirit through cultivation
Author: Yaoshu
Cheng Xiang didn't go to Wanhua Tower, but took Qin Hua to Jinghu Lake.
Today, there are all flower boats on Jinghu Lake. Every year during this period, major flower houses will organize people to perform on the flower boats. Firstly, it changes the environment and enhances the interest of the guests. Secondly, these two days are also a competition between the oirans.
day.
If any courtesan stands out in these few days, the business of that courthouse will be great in the next year.
Jinghu was originally not called Jinghu, but Cuiwei Lake. It has beautiful green mountains and green water, which refers to the way the mountains in the distance are reflected in the lake. As a result, one year an oiran named Suwei came, dressed in white and green.
She became famous as soon as she danced in the skirt, and was named the Fairy of Cuiwei Lake.
In those years, this fairy was really hot and popular, but later on, this extremely popular fairy attracted countless guests, and even a prince immediately died of madness in her bed.
The courtesan Suwei was cut in half, and then the emperor decreed that Cuiwei Lake be renamed Jinghu Lake, implying that the shameless courtesan should take a good look in the mirror and see if he is worthy of the title of fairy.
From that time on, the flower boats of the Flower House girls were not allowed to launch on the Mirror Lake.
However, these are all matters of the previous dynasty. After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, this order was broken. Over the past hundred years, countless oirans have performed on the Mirror Lake and become famous.
I don’t know how many women in the flower house hope that they can become the fairy of Jinghu Lake like the courtesan named Su Wei. Unfortunately, no one can do it to this day.
Cheng Xiang had already chartered a small boat, and there was no one else except the boatman. The boatman slowly rowed the boat towards the bright lights.
Good wine has already been brewed on the ship's stove, and the cut dishes for drinking are placed on the table one by one from the grid.
The two drank several drinks before Cheng Xiang revealed the reason why he asked her to come out for a drink today.
"The transfer order from the Ministry of War has come down. From tomorrow, he will be transferred to the south of the city and appointed as the commander of the Chengnan Division."
The Military and Horse Division has one commander-in-chief, who is promoted to the second rank, and nine commanders, who are promoted to the third rank.
Qin Hua was surprised, then smiled and said: "I'm very happy to be promoted. Congratulations to Commander Cheng."
"You hid such a good thing, and I couldn't even prepare a gift for you."
Cheng Xiang leaned on the armrest without a proper posture: "You can't escape the gift, but that's not why I asked you to come out for a drink."
"The commander of the Chengnan Division has made several mistakes. It is certain that he will retire this year. Civil servants despise the position of military generals, but among military generals, the position in the Shendu City is a good job. Hou Men, there are many generals who are eyeing this place.
, Logically speaking, this position will never be my turn."
"After I got the transfer order, I couldn't believe it. There were two brothers at the Ministry of War. They were making insinuations and there was nothing unusual. They were making a lot of money. Now that the transfer order has come down, those people are still making money, but the position in the City Division is vacant.
Once I get out, they would rather stay in the city instead of trying to make money with me."
"And among these useless news, there is an interesting thing. A few days ago, Song Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, went to have a drink with Yan Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of War."
Qin Hua raised her eyebrows: "Do you think Song Jing helped you?"
Cheng Xiang: "Half and half."
That day, he alone handed the box containing Song Yu to Song Jing. Judging from Song Jing's expression, it was obvious that she had forgotten her kindness. It would make sense to say that Song Jing spoke for him in order to repay the favor.
But the favor was returned, but Song Jing had no intention of telling him, and she did good deeds without leaving her name?
Qin Hua knocked on the table, thought for a long time, and added two more glasses of wine.
"The Song family and his wife are both nice people. They treat people well, are polite and repay their kindness, but don't think too much of them."
"To be able to hold the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the turbulent court, he must be an old fox who has become a master."
"Repaying a favor is true repayment, but who knows what his plans are behind him?"
"As long as I am the Crown Princess, and you do not cut off your relationship with me, you cannot believe that anyone would approach you with pure intentions."
Cheng Xiang's origin is more concealed than Huo Xuan's, but as the official secretary, it would be easy for Song Jing to know the details of Cheng Xiang.
The soldiers from the Crown Princess's mother's family helped her son, and the Crown Princess saved her son's life. Looking at it this way, we don't know which side had the stronger ulterior motive.
After saying that, he drank another glass of wine. The scalding wine went into his throat, making his internal organs suffocate with heat.
"No matter what, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. No matter what happens in the future, the situation is very good now. The reason why a man joins the army is not just to make achievements and gain promotion, you just need to be happy."
"Be your own commander, and don't ask for titles or Prime Ministerships, but there must be no accidents. You all have the confidence of my mother-in-law and cannot afford to lose."
Qin Hua suddenly remembered the time when she was injured at the age of fifteen. She took Cheng Xiang and the others to recover the defense map, but was seriously injured. Cheng Xiang carried her on his back and fought all the way back. The mighty and strong man cried like a
child.
"Sanlang, Sanlang..." Cheng Xiang waved his hand in front of her, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "What are you doing, drinking with others in a daze, so unwilling?"
here we go again.
Sanlang, I mean... Qin Hua couldn't stand this deliberately pinched voice.
"There is no reluctance, I think of some things from the past."
Cheng Xiang pretended to be shy and raised his chin, blinking: "Does Sanlang think of anyone in the past?"
Although she was really thinking of him, Qin Hua didn't want to admit it, and the emotion that just arose was wiped out by him.
"roll!"
——
It was boring to sit in the canopy of the boat and drink, so the two of them simply sat on the roof of the boat, sitting high up to see far away. They asked people to move the boat to the flower boat.
The lights are bright, the gauze is dancing, and the music is melodious. One song is played one after another.
Good wine, beautiful people, beautiful scenery, good music, good dancing, good friends, lying between heaven and earth, surrounded by prosperity and beauty, it really makes people happy.
"Help, someone come quickly."
A shrill cry for help was not obvious among the various noisy sounds, but the ears of martial arts practitioners could easily distinguish it.
"You bitch, why are you pretending to be noble even after you've gone out with me? It's not like I didn't give you enough money."
The rough voice said disgusting words.
Focusing his eyes on one place, Qin Hua finally saw the situation over there clearly.
On the second floor of a boat, Mr. Mengqiu was being forced, and now he was holding his neck against the guardrail. This time it was a middle-aged man with a strong body.
That gesture and those words were clearly asking the Overlord to bow forcefully.
It has to be said that Mengqiu's weak, slender and easily pushed physique is actually more attractive to men than women.
These fat-bellied, pleasure-obsessed scum are tired of playing with women, but don’t they just like to find something new and exciting?
The boat Qin Hua was on did not stop, and the boat on the other side also came towards this side, and soon it was very close, only less than two feet away.
Not too far, not too close, but just enough for the desperate Master Mengqiu to clearly see the two people sitting on the top of the boat.
