It is the full moon in the middle of autumn, and the streets of Jiangning Mansion are decorated with lights and people come and go.

Luo Xiaoyao and his group found Huanchun Pavilion. As soon as they stopped, the butterfly girl who was greeting guests at the door lit up her eyes and fiddled with Fengzi to greet her. She felt her body owed, and her right hand scented and smiled: "The flowers are so full now. The young men who are in the wind must have to enjoy the flowers and taste wine. The girls in this pavilion are all good at speaking and speaking in the flowers, so they can be fun for the young men. This month, the courtesan of Rouge Street is the girl Nianzhi of our pavilion, her piano music and singing and dancing..."

Lin Wanzhen smiled and interrupted, "Die Niang, your voice is like a yellow oriole, and your waist is so magnificent that I am sympathetic and cherishing my jade. Are you willing to talk to me tonight?"

This Butterfly Girl is over 30 years old and looks pretty good. She thinks she often flirts with customers. When she heard this, she leaned towards Lin Wanzhen, leaned against her shoulder, and laughed, "Young master is so romantic and handsome, I can't ask for anything, but I'm afraid that the girls in the pavilion will not rely on..."

Lin Wanzhen took a step back, gently lifted the butterfly girl's chin with the jade fan in her hand, and chuckled: "In this way, this Huanchun Pavilion is a good place to be jealous, and it is even more popular with my heart!"

Luo Xiaoyao and Zhe Deshou were both places where they first entered the fireworks, but when they saw Lin Wanzhen was like a veteran Fengyue, they laughed in their hearts. If it weren't for her being a woman, they would think that she would be a playboy who stayed in Jingnan.

"But it was still early at this time, so I want to listen to music and taste tea first." After Lin Wan smiled, she went straight to the topic and said with a smile: "I heard that the fairy girl in Huanchun Pavilion is superb and beautiful, and I want to meet her for a while."

"Miss Water Daffodil?" Die Niang was stunned, her eyes turned charmingly, raised the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and chuckled, "Young Master wants to listen to the sound of the Mistress Water Daffodil...? It's a coincidence today. Why would I recommend the people who are good at piano in this cabinet? Nianzhi, Ruyue and Xiaotong are all..."

Lin Wanzhen shook her head, "The elegance of a soulmate and a divine friendship of understanding can be replaced by others? What does Die Niang mean by what she calls an accident?"

"I see the young masters in my family..." But the Butterfly asked dysfunctionally: "But I wonder when I have appreciated the elegant style of the fairy girl playing music?"

Lin Wanzhen smiled and took out a ingot of gold from her sleeve, but it was one or two in her hand. She put it on Dieti Niang's hand. Looking at her enlarged eyes, she smiled and said, "If the fairy girl is in the pavilion, then Dieti Niang just tells her and says that when she listens to her playing "Spring, Lushui" on the Qinhuai River, the drunken young master Luo, who is fighting pig's head, can come."

"Drunk and beat the pig's head?" The Butterfly Girl was surprised and looked at the gold in her hand, and her eyes turned charmingly, "Miss Shuixian has an appointment at the Youshi time, but it cannot be delayed. There are still two hours left... I will tell you, as for whether she sees several young masters, I can't make the decision. If she doesn't want to invite her, don't blame her..."

Before Lin Wanzhen could answer, she put the gold in her sleeves, and did not invite everyone to wait in the pavilion, but turned around and walked into Huanchun Pavilion.

After a while, the Butterfly Girl twisted her waist and walked out, whispered to a servant at the door, and then came to Lin Wanzhen and threw her eyes, "Several young men, please follow my family..."

However, he led everyone to the alley north and said as he walked: "The fairy girl had a distinguished guest meeting at Youshi, which is indeed impossible to delay. If she had not obtained her consent, she would not dare to take several young masters to meet her with her courage. You must leave at three o'clock in Shenshi, so as not to know... the aunt in the cabinet would be punished."

Luo Xiaoyao and others vaguely guessed that the Narcissus must have gone to Qingfeng Post at the Youth hour, and Huanchun Pavilion received silver, so they would not let her pick up other guests again.

The old lady in the mouth of Butterfly Niang is the madam. She is greedy for gold, so she leads everyone to meet the daffodil without telling it. However, she is afraid that she will waste time by then, so she will give instructions.

Lin Wanzhen chuckled and said, "Die Niang is so understanding, how could I bear to let you be blamed? Besides, I want to write poems and tasting wine with you in the future... under the moon before and after."

The butterfly mom laughed softly, "Young master, please do not want me to have lovesickness..."

As Lin Wanzhen and Die Niang were flirting with each other, everyone walked around to the door of Huanchun Pavilion's backyard, but saw a servant in green who opened the door and waited, nodded and accepted Lin Wanzhen's silver reward. The Die Niang saw Lin Wanzhen's generousness and praised her with a charming smile.

Two arrow guards were left waiting outside. Luo Xiaoyao and the other two followed the Butterfly Girl into the courtyard. This spring scenery is a place of romance and moon, and the layout is different from that of ordinary people's houses. At the front is a pavilion that is more than two meters high and nearly twenty meters long. There are three small courtyards on both sides of the north and south. There are an exquisite two-story building in the courtyard. In the middle of the large courtyard, various flowers and plants are planted in colorful colors.

Walking on the bluestone path, the Butterfly Niang pointed to the front pavilion and smiled: "The building in front is the hall where Huanchun Pavilion receives guests, and it is also the place where ordinary girls in this pavilion live. The small buildings on both sides live in the palace who have been popular for a long time..."

After passing a path between flowers, I came to the courtyard in the middle of the north. But I saw a daffodil in a white dress, wearing a narcissus, and came out from the courtyard gate with two maids. I glanced over everyone and stopped on Luo Xiaoyao. I suddenly looked surprised and walked forward lightly, and saluted slowly, "Narcissus has seen the young master."

"Three young masters, please go to the courtyard and talk slowly, and I will leave first." The Butterfly Niang thought that she was afraid that people would know, so she bowed to everyone and left after seeing this.

The three of them followed the daffodils into the courtyard. They saw a pavilion built in the vestibule, and a pond beside the pavilion. There was a wooden corridor on the pond to separate the two sides. Although the pond was not big, it blended with the green bamboo, flowers and plants in the courtyard, it was a sight to see.

The two-story building is two zhang high and more than four zhang long. The front wall on the north is only more than zhang wide. On the west side is a staircase that is upwards, and on the east side is a bright window. You can see the flowers in potted behind the house at a glance. There is a landscape painting hanging on the wall, and a long and short table is placed five feet away from the wall, with an guqin on top. There is a small incense burner on both sides of the zither table, and a smoldering sandalwood is burning below.

On the east wall is a row of open three-layer wooden cabinets, with teapots of various sizes and warm wine cups, which are exquisite and elegant. There is a small table in front of the cabinet, with all the tea sets on the table, and a carpet in color is laid on the floor in front of the table, and two tables are placed on the north and south sides of the carpet.

There are several scrolls hanging on the wall to the west. Near the wall is a square table nearly two feet high, with chess boards and chess tools on it, and two small drum trunks beside the table.

The Narcissus led Luo Xiaoyao and the other two to the east to sit in front of the desk. After arranging the maids to boil water and make tea, they came to the side of the desk where Luo Xiaoyao was located and knelt down. "The little woman was in a fireworks place, but she asked her benefactor to come to visit her, and she felt really frightened..."

She just didn't dare to call her kindness because of Die Niang's presence.

"I dare not be called a benefactor. I feel ashamed... I left in a hurry that day and did not care about the safety of the girl. I think it's shameful now. Fortunately, the girl is safe."

His words were indeed sincere. On that day, Xiao Muyun was captured by Chen Liancheng and was busy with rescue, but he forgot that the Narcissus would be revenged by Liu Zhenyi and his son in the future.

Narcissus shook his head, "Although my father was killed, he died... but there are also people who admired my father's righteousness and loyalty. The father and son of the Liu family were warned, but they did not dare to cause trouble for the little girl."

But when he wanted to be a arrogant and domineering person, Liu Zhenyi was also in a key position, someone made him afraid of it. Luo Xiaoyao was very surprised, but he was afraid of being rude and nodded without asking, "It's a great blessing to do this."

"I wonder if the heroine also came to Jiangning Mansion?"

On that day, Narcissus had not asked Xiao Muyun or Luo Xiaoyao's name. If it weren't for Lin Wanzhenyan and Liu Bin being beaten to the pig head by Xiao Muyun, Narcissus had played the "Spring, Lushui" piano music on the Qinhuai River countless times, Narcissus would not have been sure that it was the benefactor who saved him.

"I forgot to tell the girl's name for a while. Luo Xiaoyao is in the middle of the morning. Junior Sister Xiao is troubled by something and has not come to Jiangning." Luo Xiaoyao smiled slightly and then introduced, "This is Brother Zhe... This is Junior Sister Lin, Miss Lin..."

He was honest by nature, but knew that Narcissus was not a bad person, so he did not want to deceive her, so he told Lin Wanzhen, who was dressed as a man, and after meeting with Zhe Deshou, he looked at Lin Wanzhen, who was pretending to be angry and stared at Luo Xiaoyao, and smiled softly, "Miss Lin has a good deed. If it weren't for the kindness of the emperor, Narcissus would think he was a handsome young man."

Lin Wan is a bit heroic in her true beauty. After men's clothing, she is indeed a handsome and handsome young master.

Luo Xiaoyao glared at Lin Wanzhen and pretended not to see him. He smiled at the Narcissus and said, "I heard from the Butterfly Girl's words that the girl had an appointment tonight. I'll disturb you rashly, please forgive me."

"My benefactor must not say this. Unfortunately, after the little woman committed an official, she couldn't help but push her away... otherwise she would have pushed her away." Narcissus shook her head, paused, and sighed, "What's more, she is the Khitan person she hated in the heart of the little woman."

The three of them knew that the Narcissus must have been invited to Qingfeng Post, but they did not directly explain it. When they heard her hatred of the Khitans, they were all very strange. When they looked at each other, Luo Xiaoyao suspected: "Miss Shuitans is making enemies with the Khitans?"

"The young woman's original surname is Zheng and her name is Yuzhen. Because she entered the land of Yanyue, she called herself a Narcissus. My father was the counselor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. When the Khitans went south to the Central Plains, the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty wanted to have diplomatic relations with him. My father strongly opposed it and advised the emperor to send troops north and expel the Khitans."

"But the emperor was unwilling to cause disagreement between the monarch and his ministers. Later, Liu Zhiyuan expelled the Khitans and established the Later Han..." The daffodil's eyes flashed with tears and sighed, "My father was happy for a moment and praised Liu Zhiyuan as a talented and wise monarch, but it was heard by the emperor..."

"My father is upright and has offended many officials in the court. Some people have used this to say that his father is rebellious and has made up his father greedy for gold and silver... The Emperor of Southern Tang was angry and took the opportunity to imprison his father, so he was not in prison."

Seeing that her two lines of tears flowed silently, it made people feel pity, Luo Xiaoyao winked at Lin Wanzhen. Lin Wanzhen pouted slightly, as if she was unwilling to do so, but she also stood up. At this time, a maid came forward to hand the fragrant pat and the daffodil. Seeing this, Lin Wanzhen blinked and smiled at Luo Xiaoyao, and then sat back in her seat.

"Let your benefactor laugh..." Narcissus took the handkerchief and wiped his tears, and then said: "At that time, the family was raided, and the little girl and her sister were in the fun. Six years ago, because she was unwilling to give in to the official who framed her father, she was almost sent to the Khitan. Fortunately, the prince Li Hongji had admiration for her father, and after he dealt with it... he came here."

Luo Xiaoyao suddenly understood who the person Liu Zhenyi, the commander of the Longwu Army, was afraid of. But he thought that with his prince's honor, he could let the Narcissus escape from Lezhi, so he said, "This King of Yan is a righteous person. No wonder Liu Zhenyi dared not hurt you, but with his identity, he should help the girl escape from the sea of ​​suffering..."

"The little woman went to the inn this time because of Liu Zhenyi... He did not dare to take revenge on the spot, but he used a plan to make a plan, hoping that the Liao people would bully me."

"Is that sister wronged?" Lin Wanzhen said in surprise.

"That day, Liu Zhenyi sent someone to ask me to go to the inn. The little woman was swearing to death. Later, the evil man sent someone to bring a message... It was said that this was a ceremony for diplomatic relations. The King of Yan also knew that he only had to play a few songs to cheer me up. Before the hour of Hai, he would send someone to send me back to the pavilion. When he mentioned the King of Yan, the little woman knew that it was impossible to refuse, but if the Liao people had malicious intentions, the King of Yan would have no choice but to go there. He had a desire to die in his heart."

Luo Xiaoyao and the other two looked at each other after hearing this, their faces all looked surprised.

"The little woman had a little piano skill. The Liao envoy praised her very much, and she asked the little woman to stay in the inn like more than ten official prostitutes. At that time, the little woman was already planning to commit suicide with a silver hairpin...

Fortunately, Mr. Wang, who was here to accompany him that day, had been kind to him. He had not seen him for nearly ten years and could not recognize him. Seeing that the girl looked angry, he asked about the girl's origin. He learned that it was her father's back, but he spoke out to help him."

"Mr. Wang and the Liao envoy said... The little girl's piano is famous for her, and there are usually a large group of literati and scholars who want to find a little girl to listen to music. If she stays in the inn, she may cause some literati to fall in love with her and will run to the inn to listen to music and jokes like this.

The Liao envoy thought that he could hear that Lord Wang had the intention of protecting each other, or because of diplomatic etiquette, if he forced the girl to stay, he would lose his identity if he spread it out, and he would not be embarrassed again..."

Looking at the narcissus's sad expression, Luo Xiaoyao sighed in his heart. If her father had not been for his upright virtue and had left behind his blessings, he might have died.

Narcissus sighed and said, "And the current emperor of the Southern Tang seems to be benevolent and righteous, but he is extremely feminine and stubborn. If the young woman is happy, wouldn't it be like a slander for her father... Even though the King of Yan is determined, he dare not give up the face of the Emperor of the Southern Tang."

At this time, the maid had boiled the tea and brought it to the table in front of everyone. Zhe Deshou picked it up and took a sip. He looked at the sunlight outside the window. "Today, Japan wants to come with the Luo brothers to listen to the girl's piano art, but it is a pity that the girl is sad. It is not. The time has passed. I will say goodbye first and wait for a day or two before disturbing me."

The three of them originally intended to come to explore the narcissus and try the possibility that it would help them sneak into Qingfeng Post. Now, I heard her talk about her life experience and thought that she could sacrifice her life to help her. Zhe Deshou thought that it would not delay her time to go to Qingfeng Post, so he made a farewell statement.

"The Liao people said that if they asked the little girl to play the song, they would inform you one day in advance. But when they heard that they were busy discussing things, they would not have to go every day. Today is the full moon season, so they sent the little girl to play... There should be no appointment tomorrow, but I hope my benefactor will come, so the little girl should prepare a little wine to meet you."

Luo Xiaoyao and the other two nodded and said goodbye, got up and left, and returned to the other courtyard.

When he learned about the reason for the death of Narcissus's father, Elder Fu and others were all happy. Everyone was happy and said, "God really helped me... With this saying, Narcissus will definitely help me. There are often singing and dancing to cheer up the fun of this diplomatic etiquette. At that time, we will take down the person who escort Narcissus, and we will disguise ourselves and wait for an opportunity to act. This matter is."

"No," Elder Fu nodded, stroking his long beard, "And the best opportunity should be on the day they accomplished. If they are happy, they will indulge in some relaxation..."

"Then find an opportunity in one or two days to tell the truth about the fairy girl and ask her for help?" Manager Zhu said: "But it is best not to talk in Huanchun Pavilion. The land of flowers and willows is mixed, and there is a risk of leaking the secret..."

Zhe Deshou also had this intention. He nodded and pondered: "Why does the manager mean... is it to invite her to a different courtyard for a detailed discussion, or to find another place? But I am afraid that some people secretly follow her..."

"Well, this is very likely." Manager Zhu nodded, "Young Master, can you make an appointment with her and invite her to visit the Qinhuai River. Even if there are dark spots, you should not be able to approach the pleasure boat... I spent some silver to rent the Huanchun Pavilion pleasure boat, and I would like to accompany my servants... What do General Zhe think?"

"The arrangements in charge of the affairs should be fulfilled." Zhe Deshou nodded immediately to agree.

"Then let the deacon He Kunxiang of this cabinet go with him. He hangs out on the long street of Rouge and is familiar with the brothels in various courtyards... It should be simple to ask him to rent a pleasure boat."

The matter has already settled. Zhe Deshou felt relieved and looked at Luo Xiaoyao and smiled: "Today's mid-autumn moon is full, and the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is pleasant. Zhe wants to visit Xuanwu Lake with the Luo brothers, how about it?"

Manager Zhu smiled and said, "Every day, there are many literati and scholars who watch the moon and scenery in Xuanwu Lake. The young master should go on a trip with General Zhe, and his subordinates will send people to accompany you with fine wine and delicacies."

Luo Xiaoyao looked at Lin Wanzhen who was already applauding, nodded and smiled, "Junior Sister Wanzhen agrees, it's not okay if you can't go, haha..."

When it was time for Xu, Luo Xiaoyao and Zhe Deshou, Lin Wanzhen and Shangyou took a few arrow guards straight to Xuanwu Lake. The other courtyard was only three miles away from Xuanwu Lake, and they arrived in a short time.

Under the moonlight, I saw the reflection of clouds and trees on the embankment, and fish swim over the lake. In the rippling waves, several small boats slowly walked on the water. On the way everyone was walking, some literati and scholars could be seen tasting wine and watching the moon, chanting poems and lying poems.

Zhe Deshou said to a accompanying Jianwei: "I heard that Prince Zhaoming of Liang had built a garden in this lake before and wrote books, where was he?"

He had been passing Jiangning in the future and was not familiar with the terrain. When the arc guard heard this, he replied: "What Mr. Zhe should refer to is the Liangzhou that people today remembered as Prince Zhaoming. Here we go north, if we go quickly, about half a stick of incense can reach..."

Zhe Deshou nodded and smiled, "It's not impossible to move quickly. The moonlight lake scenery is beautiful everywhere, each with its artistic conception. Walk slowly, walk slowly, haha..."

"Brother Zhe is very happy and should be a true scholar." Lin Wanzhen nodded with a chuckling and said, "The jade light fills the lake with jade, and the long scenery of the embankment and bridge corridors... It should be a must-see view everywhere."

"Miss Wanzhen's talent is full of thoughts. If she is a man, she will be a Hanlin bachelor's position, it will be easy to get it." Zhe Deshou praised.

"Brother Zhe is both civil and military, but he made fun of Wanzhen." Lin Wanzhen said with a sweet smile: "The next sentence...what should I ask Brother Zhe to meet?"

"Oh? Zhe was a martial artist, but he was flawed in reciting poems and essays. Brother Shang, let's meet Miss Wanzhen..."

The Zhe family is always educated, and Zhe Morality has been cultivated both civil and military since childhood, and his talent is extraordinary. However, when I remember Luo Xiaoyao's words, I wanted to reconcile Lin Wanzhen and Shang You's fate, so I intentionally let Shang You follow the words.

Shangyou was stunned and said embarrassedly: "I know the superficiality, how can I express my words..."

"Hehe, all the students of my academy are very knowledgeable, so it should be feasible." Lin Wanzhen smiled and said, "Senior Brother Shang is right..."

"My junior sister has always been beautiful at the beginning, but she taught me how to say it is too much..." But when she heard Lin Wanzhen say this, Shang You, who was trying to reject it, smiled bitterly for a moment, walked and pondered for a moment, and chanted: "The breeze intends to send thoughts, and the two places are close to this love..."

Zhe Deshou smiled and said, "Tonight, you can drink happily, paint the long scenery, and feel for this love...good, good."

This couplet also implicitly expresses love, and Zhe Deshou repeats the three words after the two sentences. Lin Wanzhen didn't know the meaning of the words, but she smiled sweetly: "Okay, Wanzhen also had two drinks tonight..."

Shang You thought it was because of love, but after Yining, he turned his head away. Luo and Zhe couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.
To be continued...
