The two embankments are full of flowers and willows, all along the water, and all the way up are the terraces and the mountains.

The surface of Slender West Lake is long and thin, winding and winding, with weeping willows constantly connecting with weeds and wild goose-toothed red bridges that look like drawings.

In the evening, you can see the red clouds and jasper near the water, which is so beautiful.

However, few men who come here at night pay attention to the beautiful scenery.

The gorgeously decorated pavilion boats cruising on the lake attract everyone's attention...

Smaller boats are usually anchored in remote places.

The tall flower boats on the second or even third floors are parked in the famous scenery.

There was an endless stream of people, including wealthy businessmen who spent a lot of money, young scholars swinging folding fans, officials in official uniforms, and some people with outstanding physiques.

There are all kinds of people, three religions and nine streams, but everyone's purpose is the same.

This is an era that is by no means friendly to women. However, these self-proclaimed "heroes" cannot pass this beauty test after all.

"Master Jia, I have admired your name for a long time, and I am honored to meet you. It is said that Mr. Jia's appearance is very good, and he is the best in Yangzhou. I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw it today, he is really outstanding! I am Qi Jun, this is Chen Cheng, Chen Zian, Li Xiao, Li Wenlie,

Peng Xiu and Peng Yuanzong. Today, I will host a banquet for Mr. Jia to wash away the dust... By the way, I will call you De'ang below. We and Mr. Jia hit it off as old friends, so we can use our names to match him."

After being picked up by a small boat on the largest and most luxurious three-story boat in the middle of Slender West Lake, Jia Qiang saw a young man in white leading seven or eight people to come forward and greeted him with his hands in hand.

This introduction can be considered warm and thoughtful.

It turns out that children from a wealthy family like them, who are influenced by their family, rarely make mistakes in how they treat people and treat them.

Their thoughtful words make people feel like they are in the spring breeze, and they seem to feel their enthusiasm.

In fact, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and even Jia Baoyu all have this ability.

But if anyone really takes it seriously, he would be naive...

And if you use "Character" to commensurate with each other, you can quickly close the distance.

Jia Qiang returned the favor first, and after saying some polite words of thanks, Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around. He saw a person in the corner behind him. He raised his eyebrows lightly and cursed with a smile: "Xu Zhen, you are asking me to come and eat."

Host, what’s the matter, your Xu family is guarding the Yangzhou Mansion’s treasury, but you can’t even part with the money to drink Tonghua wine, so at the end of the day, someone else comes to invite this host?”

Hearing this, Xu Zhen stepped forward and said with a lazy smile: "Oh, Mr. Qiang, this is not a misunderstanding, is it? With the lessons learned from that idiot in the Feng family, I, Xu Zhen, would never do such a thing even if I had no brains.

It's really not my fault. Brother Qi and the others think that I have always acted out of tune and cannot set an example for the young people in Yangzhou Prefecture. If something goes wrong... The Feng family and the Dong family have already been stupid once. If I mess up again

Once upon a time, the younger generation in Yangzhou Prefecture were completely humiliated by us! That’s why Brother Qi and the others came out in person to entertain you, Mr. Qiang. Among the younger generation in Yangzhou Prefecture, Brother Qi and the four of them are the best

Serious young heroes, Zi Ming and I, we are all useless people, we cannot bear this!"

Jia Qiang laughed, feeling more and more that Xu Zhen was a wonderful person, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, in the capital, I am also scolded as a person who cannot hold up a wall with mud."

Xu Zhen was greatly relieved when he heard this. He smiled, but seemed to care about the face of Qi Jun and others and did not speak again.

Fortunately, when the expressions of Qi Yun and the other four people were about to turn dark, Jia Qiang still held up her hands and thanked her: "For a person like me, I can't deserve the attention of the four of you."

Qi Jun couldn't tell whether what Jia Qiang said was true or not, so he smiled helplessly, waved his hands and said: "Today we are hosting a banquet for Young Master Jia, and we specially booked the Mingyue Tower, the first painted boat on Slender West Lake. It is on the third floor, but

Looking at the beautiful scenery of Slender West Lake, drinking Western ice wine by the window, reciting poems and lyrics with Mingyue Girl, admiring the bright moon that once illuminated the romance of the ancients, and talking about the elegance of the ages. How can this feeling and scene be like this in the human world? "

In just a few words, he sketched out a scene of extravagance, enjoyment and happiness.

While Qi Yun was talking, his eyes were always paying attention to Jia Qiang's expression.

Even those as handsome as Qi Yun were secretly jealous of Jia Qiang's appearance.

However, I originally thought that the earth-smelling nobles in the capital circle would show their yearning after hearing his straightforward description. After all, Yangzhou has been the place where most people are greedy for elegance.

A place that the rich and powerful children cannot refuse.

After getting to know him, he will have plenty to talk about when he returns to the capital.

Unexpectedly, Jia Qiang's expression remained indifferent.

Jia Qiang laughed and said: "This...Brother De'ang? Haha, I'm afraid Brother De'ang doesn't know that he was born in Wuxun. If not, Meiyuan would not be able to create a situation to protect itself. The reason why he agreed to Xu before

Zhen, the host of this boy, is also because I see his idle and generous character, which is somewhat similar to mine. If I knew that a scholar like Brother De'ang was inviting the host, I probably wouldn't come. But it's not because of his status as Qiao Duan.

It's just that we can't talk about it together. For example, you really want me to write poems and lyrics, and talk about admiring Fengya, but I would like to show you boxing and kicking skills first, and then compete in horse racing and archery. After all, gentlemen in ancient times also have to learn the six arts.

of."

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun was immediately speechless.

I think of him as the eldest grandson of the Qi family, one of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture, but the eight major salt merchants have changed several times, and only the Qi family has remained unchanged for decades.

During the six southern tours of the Supreme Emperor, the Qi family all participated, and the Qi family received more than one set of imperial brushes after spending money out of the garden.

With such a financial background, Qi Yun grew up in an extremely luxurious and elegant environment.

Has anyone ever dared to suggest something to him and use fists and kicks?

But Jia Qiang just said it, and it didn't make people feel abrupt and provocative. After all, his image is like this...

It was just so sudden that Qi Yun didn't know how to deal with it.

However, Jia Qiang didn't give him any time to think about it, and laughed and said: "Brother De'ang, please don't take your joking words seriously. We, the disciples of General Wu Xun, are so straightforward, and we must have no disrespect. I think

It's not as good as this. Tonight I will have wine and laugh with Xu Zhen and the others. Brother De'ang and you four scholars will recite poems and write poems together. We are all young people. We don't need to be too formal. It's best to be more comfortable. Otherwise

, it’s better to break up as soon as possible. It’s better than everyone being coy and useless all night long.”

It was indeed refreshing, but it was a bit vulgar. Qi Jun and others were speechless, but Xu Zhen's eyes flashed with brilliance, and the look he looked at Jia Qiang was no longer so casual.

Being able to take advantage of "disadvantage" so openly, he can openly gain the upper hand, dominate the scene, and not offend people to death...

This is a clever method!

Qi Yun and his group are by no means mediocre, but suddenly faced with an unruly man with a position that makes people jealous, it's like facing a thorny hedgehog, with nowhere to start.

Qi Jun said helplessly: "I originally wanted to imitate the ancients with Brother Jia and share the elegant things of Slender West Lake for thousands of years. I didn't want to... By the way, I haven't asked Brother Jia for his cousin's name yet?"

Jia Qiang smiled and saw everyone's eyes focused on him with radiance. She knew in her heart that most of these people had heard about the incident in Duzhong, but they may not have believed it. This was the time to seek confirmation.

As for the Supreme Emperor's personal gift of a cousin, since he has to bear the risks and even dangers involved, he can no longer deliberately deny some of the benefits it can bring to him. Otherwise, wouldn't he become a fool?

Therefore, he smiled lightly and said: "I am a good minister."

As soon as this statement came out, it was hard to conceal the uproar in the hall.

The jealousy in the eyes of Qi Yun, the four older young heroes, could no longer be concealed.

The rumors turned out to be true, Jia Qiang really got a cousin from the Supreme Emperor!!

Such a half-year-old boy who doesn't even know poetry or calligraphy has such a good fortune...

It’s really lemon fruit on the lemon tree, you and me under the lemon tree!

very sour!!

But at this moment, two "female officers" walked on the deck of the building ship!

These two "female officials" were wearing robes that imitated the officials of the Yan Dynasty, and even the patchwork were just like the bird patchwork on the officials' robes.

It's just that the colors are different. The two "female officials" are wearing pink official uniforms, and their front patches are white crane patches from fifth-rank officials.

The two of them were handsome in appearance and had decent smiles on their faces. When they met the guests, they did not do a blessing ceremony, but clasped their fists like men and said: "Masters, Mr. Gong, the Gongyuan has been properly arranged, the test papers have been distributed, and the examiner is at his seat.

I also invite you gentlemen, my husband to be admitted to the hospital for examination."

Qi Jun and others were thinking about how to reply when they saw Jia Qiang take two steps forward, fold her hands in front of her chest, look at the two "female officials", and said with a smile: "I have heard that the atmosphere in Southern Province is open and the people are the best at enjoying themselves. You guys

She is really naughty... Hua Jieyu from Fengle Tower is known as the best courtesan in the world, but she is not as bold as you. You all dare to wear the tonic uniform. The Mingyue girl inside, shouldn't she even dare to wear a dragon robe and a phoenix crown?

Upper body? If so, I won’t dare to enter today’s banquet.”

After saying that, he turned to look at the young people in Yangzhou Mansion and said cheerfully: "You Yangzhou Mansion are too stubborn, but I wonder if the old officials in the court would find out about this matter.

Happy. If those people know that their official uniforms are being worn by a group of girls to serve you, I think you will be in big trouble..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and then they remembered that Jia Qiang originally came from Kyoto, a god with strict officialdom.

Qi Yun hurriedly explained: "Brother Liangchen, this is just a show, just like on a stage. It cannot be taken seriously or be taken seriously."

The implication is that the girls in the brothel here are no different from the actors on the stage.

It’s just that it’s easy to think of a certain famous saying:

How is the actor, how is the cousin...

The two young girls in "fifth-grade official uniforms" would naturally not expect that the expressions on their faces instantly dimmed, but then returned to normal. For them, this is their fate...

Jia Qiang saw it, smiled, and said: "Well, I guess they don't have time to put their minds here. Then go in. When you come to Yangzhou, you must appreciate the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River."

Everyone laughed, Qi Yun stopped laughing and thought for a moment, then said: "That's alright, since my good brother is a martial artist, I won't take the poetry test today..."

It's not that he doesn't want to kill Jia Qiang's majesty. How can any young person not be young and energetic?

Jia Qiang, a dragon crossing the river, came to Yangzhou Prefecture and destroyed the Mei family and Feng family as soon as he showed up. It is impossible to say that young people from the local prominent families in Yangzhou Prefecture have no idea in their minds.

Jia Qiang is indeed strong, and the Yanyuan Yamen is indeed powerful, but behind the eight salt merchants, which one does not support a prime minister's palace or a prince's palace?

Even if there are more than one family and two families that directly pay tribute to the Supreme Emperor in Jiuhua Palace every year...
