Outside the city of Yangzhou, a convoy consisting of a number of carriages and guards came towards Yangzhou City. The first of the three carriages was decorated luxuriously on the outside of the carriage. The waist card, with the words "Zhang Mansion" written on it, is Zhang Xiulang who came from the capital.

Zhang Xiulang was sitting in the carriage at this time. The interior of the spacious carriage was very delicately furnished. Before he came, the house had been well-arranged for him, and the maids who served him in the past also chose two good-looking people to accompany him, lest he would be bored.

Zhang Xiulang was leaning in the arms of a servant girl, and the other servant girl was hanging his legs for him. There were many delicate snacks on the small table beside him. He picked up a piece of shortbread from the small table and threw it into his mouth, chewing it impatiently. Lifting the small curtain on the side, he rushed out to the bodyguard who followed on horseback and asked, "Why haven't you arrived in Yangzhou yet?"

The escort replied respectfully: "Don't worry, young master, we will be there in less than half a day."

Zhang Xiulang clicked his tongue, threw down the curtain, and muttered something in a low voice. They walked for more than half a month. Although they were accompanied by a beautiful maid, compared with the life in the capital, it was quite boring. Fortunately, Almost to Yangzhou.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip to Yangzhou, he had a smile on his face, thinking about his own plan, the old lady gave him several people this time, they will naturally be useful when he gets there, and it will save him a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, he relaxed again, hugged the maid who was beating her legs, and began to knead wantonly.

Indeed, as the bodyguard said, in less than half a day, he arrived at Yangzhou City. Zhang Xiulang looked at the style of Yangzhou City and noted down several good-looking places along the way. Must have fun.

When they came to the gate of Shen's house, there were already people waiting, Zhang Xiulang straightened his clothes, clapped a folding fan in his hand, stepped off the carriage, saw Shen Qingjia waiting at the door, immediately smiled, "Jiadi!"

"Cousin!" Shen Qingjia welcomed him in with a smile, and the servants at the side helped lead the carriage down and unloaded the luggage.

Shen Qingjia led him towards the main courtyard, and said apologetically: "There is something in the shop today, the eldest sister and sister-in-law are not at home, Qingyue is not feeling well today, I hope my cousin won't be surprised."

Looking at the landscape of mountains and rocks that Zhang Xiulang saw when he entered the door, he couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the financial resources of the Shen family. It seems that he still underestimated it. He said with a smile, "It's all a family."

Shen Qingjia took him to meet Shen's father first, Zhang Xiulang was influenced by the Zhang family and did not like Shen's father very much, so he just said a few words on the surface, and Shen's father went to rest because he was not feeling well.

Coming out of the hospital, Shen Qingjia led him to the courtyard that had been prepared for him, and behind them were only Shen Lang and Zhang Xiulang's two maids.

Zhang Xiulang closed his fan, patted the palm on the other side lightly, and asked with a smile: "Is Jiadi going to be okay when he comes back? Before I came, the old lady told me specifically."

Hearing the word old lady, Shen Qingjia's eyes flickered, met Zhang Xiulang's pointing eyes, smiled embarrassingly, and said: "It's still the same as before, isn't it just going out to play with other young masters. "

Zhang Xiulang took his expression into his eyes, thinking that this person really can't get things done, but fortunately he came, he said with a smile on his face: "Since that's the case, Jiadi must know all the good places in Yangzhou city like the back of his hand, but You have to play with me."

Shen Qingjia seemed relieved, and readily responded, "It's only natural."

When they mentioned the good places in Yangzhou City, the two couldn't help chatting, and they stopped at the courtyard, which was close to Shen Qingjia's, and the layout was even more careful.

Shen Qingjia talked to him about the layout of the yard as if asking for credit, smiled, leaned over and said: "In the capital, my cousin said he likes Master Zhao's paintings, so I found them specially and put them in the small box next to the bed. "

When Zhang Xiulang heard this, a smile appeared on his face. Master Zhao's paintings are amazing, and his paintings of erotic palaces are even more amazing. They are very popular in Beijing, but unfortunately the real ones are hard to find. He thanked him with a smile, "Brother Lao Jia, don't worry."

Seeing that Shen Qingjia treated him quite enthusiastically, Zhang Xiulang felt complacent, and dealt with Shen Qingjia with a smile, and he was a little more confident in dealing with Shen Mingshu.

In the evening, Shen Mingshu and Luo Xin came back, and Zhang Xiulang arrived, so naturally they couldn't entertain them casually. The cooks of the Shen family cooked Yangzhou delicacies, which were exquisite in color and fragrance, and several Zhang Xiulang also felt that they were fresh.

With a calm face, Shen Mingshu raised his glass and said to Zhang Xiulang, "I'm sorry for not being able to greet my cousin in person today."

Zhang Xiulang raised his wine glass with a smile, drank it cleanly, and said: "Ming Shu is too polite, we are a family, what are you talking about?" There is no surprise to Shen Mingshu's indifference, this attitude towards him is normal, It would be strange if they became intimate.

After drinking, the atmosphere during the banquet became more heated. Zhang Xiulang glanced at Luo Xin who was beside Shen Mingshu, looked at Shen Mingshu, and said with a smile: "How busy is Mingshu these days?"

Shen Mingshu nodded, "There are many things going on in the shop, and I have to go and watch many of them."

Zhang Xiulang said helplessly: "What's the big deal about those things? Ming Shu, you worry about big and small things. It's time to let go and relax. I finally came to Yangzhou, and I thought you could take it with me to have fun."

Shen Mingshu's dark and bright eyes swept over the smoky redness on his face, and said lightly: "Qingjia is familiar with all places in Yangzhou City, so it would be fun for me to go."

Zhang Xiulang laughed when he heard the words, patted Shen Qingjia on the shoulder, and said, "Fortunately, Brother Jia has nothing to do, so he can play with me as an idler."

Shen Qingjia pursed her lips and smiled, toasted with Zhang Xiulang, her eyes flicked past Shen Mingshu, and flickered slightly.

The time for dinner this time was not short, and Zhang Xiulang was a person who got excited after drinking, and persuaded him to drink several times in a row. Under the table tugged at Shen Mingshu's sleeve, trying to persuade her not to drink any more.

Shen Mingshu turned his head to the side, smiled at her comfortingly, and then continued to turn his head to listen to Zhang Xiulang's high-spirited talk.

After this round of pushing and changing glasses, Zhang Xiulang's face was already flushed to the neck, Shen Qingjia tried his best to persuade him seeing him like this, and finally made someone put down the wine glass, nodded with Shen Mingshu, and hurriedly greeted him and sent him back.

Luo Xin raised her hand to touch Shen Mingshu's arm, and asked worriedly: "Sister? We'll go too."

Shen Mingshu turned back slowly, his eyes were a little distracted, he nodded, took Luo Xin's hand, interlocked his fingers, and said, "Go back."

Lan Yin and the others held the lamp while Shen Mingshu half leaned on Luo Xin. The two of them walked slowly towards their own yard, and no one spoke in silence.

Soon after returning to the room, Shen Mingshu was supported by Luo Xin to sit down by the bed, handed the hangover medicine brought up by the servant to Shen Mingshu's lips, and said softly: "Sister, drink this first."

Shen Mingshu lowered his head and drank it slowly, the warm medicinal juice slid down his throat, which seemed to drive away some of the chaos in his mind, her brows and eyes were slightly flushed, and she looked at Luo Xin without blinking.

Luo Xin wiped her cheeks with a wrung towel, felt a little embarrassed when she looked at her like this, and said softly, "Sister, what do you think I am doing?"

The corners of Shen Mingshu's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "Xin'er is so good, she can take care of others."

Luo Xin blushed, and said, "It's nothing." Lan Yin and the others had already retreated, and there were only the two of them in the room. She thought of Shen Mingshu's appearance of drinking during the dinner, and asked softly, "Sister Is it because you don't like that Young Master Zhang?"

Shen Mingshu closed his eyes, let her wipe them, and asked, "Why do you think so?"

"My sister has been unhappy today." Luo Xin wiped it gently with his hands, thinking that the man made her sister unhappy, she was also unhappy, especially making her drink so much wine, it was too much.

Shen Mingshu smiled softly, and said, "Xin'er is getting smarter and smarter." She opened her eyes and looked at Luo Xin, her eyes were gentle and clear, she took the towel from Luo Xin's hand, and gave it to her. After wiping it off, he said, "Remember to stay away from him, and don't let Lan Yin leave your side."

Luo Xin nodded, and obediently agreed, Shen Mingshu drank and lost energy, so the two of them went to bed early to rest.

On the other side of Shen's residence, Shen Qingjia and his servants carried Zhang Xiulang back to the yard, and poured Zhang Xiulang a bowl of anti-alcohol medicine, which made him sober up.

Zhang Xiulang held on to Shen Qingjia, so Shen Qingjia had no choice but to stay and take care of him, and simply stayed with him.

Zhang Xiulang took the tea offered by the maid, took a few more sips, waved his hands to make people retreat, looked at Shen Qingjia, saw that he seemed to be distracted, smiled, and said, "What are you thinking about, Brother Jia?"

Only then did Shen Qingjia come back to her senses, forced a smile, and said, "It's just some boring things."

Zhang Xiulang lay beside him, pretending to be casual and said: "I came to Yangzhou this time, half for my business, and half for your business."

Shen Qingjia was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and said: "Biao Lao is thinking about me, but she is my eldest sister after all..."

"Jiadi just needs to ask himself if he wants to." Zhang Xiulang smiled lightly, and said, "I'm not trying to persuade you, you're not too young, you still have to think it out for yourself, anyway, I'll just say this, and I'll definitely help you." in the end."

In the darkness, neither of them could see their respective expressions. After a while, Shen Qingjia said softly: "Thank you cousin, I will definitely think about it."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Xiulang knew that it wasn't unintentional, and couldn't help showing a mocking smile on his face, no brother or sister could compare to something that was really held in his hand.

But Shen Qingjia's indecision was easy to control, thinking of his own plan, he smiled again, closed his eyes and fell asleep in satisfaction.
