Mei Yan'er is not very old, but she grew up in a prostitute's house. She has seen all kinds of people in this West Lake.
This transaction was introduced by Cai Shi. Although Cai Shi was not an acquaintance, he often came to the lake to book flower boats for his owner. Now he has a new owner. Cai Shi is a reliable local resident and will definitely not introduce him.
The gangster was doing business for her family. She guessed; it looked like he was a trader wandering the sea. It was probably the first time he had returned to the colorful world of Hangzhou, and he had a lot of money in his pocket.
Seeing that several other gentlemen, except Mr. Zhao who just looked at her and "Ama" with a smile, all showed no interest in her, Meiyan'er was quite surprised - with her cultivation level, as long as one came out,
In their eyes and in a few words, no man would not reveal a hint of greed. These people seemed to have no intention of taking another look at her. This made Meiyan'er a little disappointed, but she regarded this as the fact that they were the first
When she returned to a place like this, she was too cautious. She immediately resorted to means and was determined to take down Master Mei first - Master Zhao, who paid for it, appointed her to serve Master Mei well.
"Hey, why didn't Mr. Mei speak? Could it be that he was angry?" Mei Yan'er came closer with a smile flashing on her cheeks. Her voice was clear and crisp, and it was very nice to hear.
"No no."
"Master Mei, please have some tea!" She held the bowl of tea in front of Mei Lin, then personally picked up a few peeled pine nuts and brought them to Mei Lin's bed.
Merlin had no choice but to pretend he didn't care. After all, this woman was specially called by Zhao Yingong to entertain him. The moment just now made him feel like his dream was shattered. However, Merlin still insisted, "This is not Qin Huai."
The concept of "eight beauties are just vulgar and vulgar powder".
Seeing Meiyan'er personally bringing the pine nuts to her mouth, she couldn't get around it no matter how reserved she was. After she went back, she would inevitably be laughed at by those mean elders saying "worse than animals". She then reached out and took the pine nuts.
Meiyan'er's tulle sleeves were slightly rolled up, and her white wrists were as white as snow. She was startled, and couldn't help but carefully look at the woman in front of her. She saw that both of her sleeves were made of extremely thin gauze, and her arms were like
The neck is as white as a lotus root. The snow-white neck is just a thin chest. There is really no hill to be seen.
Merlin put the pine nuts into his mouth. There was nothing unique about the pine nuts, but they had a sweet and greasy fragrance. He couldn't help but make his heart move slightly.
"May I have your name?"
"My nickname is Meiyan'er."
"Which words?"
"Looking back, you can smile and be charming, and the six palaces of pink and white have no color."
"What an elegant conversation!" Merlin asked again; "Have you read a book?"
"What kind of books can people like us read? I just read a few lines randomly when I was learning music with my grandma." He said, smiling slightly sadly.
Merlin didn't know that it was a common trick of famous prostitutes. He suddenly felt pity for her. He couldn't help but hold her little hand. Meiyan'er knew that she had an eyebrow, but she gently pulled her hand back.
Although she withdrew her hand, she did so very slowly, as if she was unwilling to do so. This not only made the benefactor feel that she was full of affection, but also allowed him to fully appreciate her soft little hands.
Merlin didn't know that this was a small trick in the academy, but he just felt that Meiyan'er's little hands were soft and smooth, soft and boneless. He wished he could hold them for a while longer.
Meiyan'er was a veteran. After giving a favor, she immediately took it back. Then she took a small red and white snack from the tray and brought it to Merlin's mouth.
"Sir, this is abalone with bones."
Merlin no longer hesitated this time, and opened his mouth to eat. He felt the fragrance of milk, sweetness and deliciousness. It tasted a bit like Western pastries. In the old time, there were so many Western pastries with heavy sugar and heavy cream flavors that it was not rare at all. But
It’s been a long time since D-Day, so of course I enjoyed eating it. I couldn’t help but nod my head.
"Meiyan'er made this bone-in abalone by herself. It's difficult to make, but I'm lucky this time." Mei Niang saw that Master Mei was about to enter Hong Kong, so she immediately helped her. She didn't know whether it was true or not.
"Auntie, you're right. What's so troublesome about this little snack?" Meiyan'er joked with a smile. She also took other fruits and gave them to Merlin.
"This bone-in abalone is a famous product in Suzhou. Speaking of "Jin Ping Mei" -" Zhao Yingong had a deep memory of this dim sum when he watched "Jin Ping Mei". Only Li Ping'er in Ximen Qing's mansion could make it. Later Li Ping
After his son died, Zheng Aiyue'er relied on this to win Ximen Qing's favor.
In "Jin Ping Mei", the boned abalone is mentioned in many places, and they are all words of praise.
It was a very expensive snack at that time. People who are not rich and know how to enjoy it would not be able to make it, and the best bone-in abalone in China is recognized as coming from Suzhou.
"I just don't know what's so great about avoiding Suzhou's abalones?" Zhao Yingong said, making himself salivate - he had already eaten one of the abalones on the table, and it just felt like it was full of milky flavor. For someone who is used to it
There is nothing unusual about dairy products crossing over.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to know how to drink and eat." Meiyan'er covered her mouth with a fan.
This scratched Zhao Yingong's itch. He snapped the gold-pinned fan in his hand and said with a smile, "There is nothing magical about this thing. It's just that you have to make good use of cheese. The first thing is to keep it fresh."
Zhou Dongtian was surprised when he saw Zhao Yingong talking eloquently, thinking that this man really lived up to his boast of being a descendant of the Zhao and Song royal family all day long, and he was quite sophisticated in enjoying things.
Thinking like this, he took out a sweetmeat wrapped in small leaves from the storage plate and put it in his mouth. It turned out to be a sweetened bayberry wrapped in dried mint leaves. It was sweet and cool when placed in his mouth.mi
It’s not like he has never eaten preserved bayberry before, but it’s the first time he’s encountered something so delicate and creative. Especially the dried mint leaves, which prevents the juice from sticking to his hands. It also adds a refreshing air, which is better than in the old days.
A lot.
I couldn't help but exclaimed, "Good. This is my first time eating it."
Mei Niang said quickly, "This is also from Suzhou, and its name is Yi Mei. It is the best for eliminating phlegm, removing internal heat, and removing bad breath. If you like to use it, please use a few more."
After these jokes, the atmosphere in the cabin became more lively. Mei Niang was such a delicate person. She immediately realized that most of these gentlemen had simple food on weekdays and had never eaten any exquisite fruit tea and snacks.
The snacks were introduced one by one, such as hawthorn cake, orange cake, preserved olives, and pine nut candies. Some of them were still available in the old time, and some had disappeared long ago. Several people felt that it was an eye-opener and they all started to eat.
Tasting and sometimes commenting, the atmosphere in the cabin became much more relaxed.
Now Mei Niang became more and more convinced that this group of people were overseas travelers, who had probably made a fortune and came to Hangzhou to see the colorful world. She also found out that the host, Mr. Zhao, was from Guangdong, which seemed to confirm this guess. She was interested.
Make a lot of money from them and make a long-term business. He winked at his daughter and asked her to take advantage of Mr. Mei.
Meiyan'er used various means to win over Mei Wan. Mei Wan gradually became more relaxed.
Zhao Yingong saw that they had entered the harbor and it would be a waste of time for him and others to stay here. He stood up and shouted, "Let's go to the platform to take a look at the scenery."
"Slowly, slowly!" Merlin waved his hands and said, "I want to go too."
"Just sit down for a moment." Zhao Yingong closed the fan. "We can't let this wonderful spring shine."
On the deck, the breeze on the lake blew, and several elders suddenly felt relieved. Although the cabin was comfortable, the scent of the woman's powder and incense inside mixed together, making the air feel turbid. Xu looked at the lake on the lake.
The various large and small cruise ships couldn't help but touch his professional nerves - Navy intelligence officers have a strong interest in everything that can float on the water. Especially on the West Lake where various ships compete for beauty.
Zhao Yingong was deep in thought. He had already received letters from the Hangzhou church about meeting Sun Yuanhua and Xu Guangqi. For this reason, he specially telegraphed Lingao, asking them to make arrangements as soon as possible, send people to Shandong and Beijing, and strive to make arrangements in Shandong first.
Several strongholds serve as footholds for engine operations. The teaching plan personally planned by the Taoist Master is about to be launched. If he can gain greater trust from the Hangzhou Church in this teaching plan, he will gain more support among the religious ministers.
support and protect
Zhou Dongtian looked at the green mountains beside the lake and whispered;
"What if Lao Mei really seduces Hun by this girl?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of spending a few taels of silver," Zhao Yingong said, "Can't we still afford it?"
Zhou Dongtian smiled bitterly and said, "This is public money. Don't end up like Chang Shide."
"It's not in the way." Zhao Yingong said, but he didn't say how it was not in the way. Zhou Dongtian was about to ask, when suddenly, the boat shook violently.
A beautifully decorated building boat was sailing along the side of the boat. There were a few scholars-looking figures sitting on the boat building, eating wine and laughing with a few beautiful women. A string of laughter came from everywhere in the lake breeze.
Zhou Dongtian couldn't help but frown and let out a loud "hum".
Cai Shi whispered, "This is Mr. Zhang's ship." "Which Mr. Zhang?"
"That's Mr. Zhang Dai."
"It turns out it's him!" Zhao Yin.
Gong said.
Zhang Dai's name immediately made several elders on the stage exchange glances. This figure in the late Ming Dynasty is a famous figure. He is originally from Shaoxing and has lived in Hangzhou for a long time. He is half a Hangzhou native. His family has been officials for generations;
He went to Yunnan as deputy envoy, and his great-grandfather was an official in the Hanlin Academy, and he served as Zuo Yude in Zhan Shifu. His grandfather went to Guangxi as a councilor. His father served as the right chief historian of the Prince of Lu's Palace, and he was a famous Jin gentry family in Shaoxing.
The Zhang family is not only a family of officials, but also a scholarly family with a high level of cultural literacy. Generations of ancestors and grandchildren are good at poetry and writing, and they also have deep attainments in opera, antiques, epigraphy, calligraphy and painting.!.
