pet marriage

Less than half a day after Zhang Xiulang arrived in Yangzhou City, the dignitaries who had connections with Beijing learned of the news and came to visit him one after another.

Although Zhang Xiulang has no official position, as the second son of the Zhang family, his future will not be bad, so why not do it if he has the opportunity to find a way?As a result, more and more carriages came and went to and from the door of Shen's house.

Right now, sitting in front of Zhang Xiulang are many young masters from noble families in Yangzhou, cooperating with Zhang Xiulang in chatting about the good places in Yangzhou.

"I heard that the second son came to Yangzhou to spend a few days with Mr. Zhu Shengyu coming to Qinglu Academy to give lectures. Why don't we go together?" The man in purple clothes said this.

Shen Qingjia sat next to Zhang Xiulang, listening to the enthusiastic conversation below, he recognized this son, the youngest son of the magistrate of Yangzhou City, he was also a well-known playboy in the city, and the place he went to the most on weekdays was the Hualou Tavern, The books I read the most are probably erotic pictures, but I didn't expect to say this now.

He picked up the teacup and concealed the smile on his lips. In the past, this person was supposed to be indifferent in front of them, but he did not expect to talk a lot in front of Zhang Xiulang.

But Zhang Xiulang's status is here, whether he likes it or not, he has to face it, and most of the sons and brothers who come to hang out with Shen Qingjia on weekdays sit down with a smile, but who knows what's going on in their hearts.

Shen Qingjia took a look, obviously there were not a few people who had the same idea as him, they looked at the magistrate's son with subtle eyes, and someone changed the topic after a while.

"It's still a while before the lecture, what are you talking about these boring things, Second Master, the girl playing the piano on the Yangzhou painting boat is extremely talented, and she has a different taste from the girls in Beijing. I wonder if Second Master would be interested in going to see it together."

The person who said this was a son in dark clothes, named Wei Xuan, whose family was engaged in Dongzhu business. Although he was a concubine, his mother was favored, and he was more prestigious than a concubine. He was also a fun-loving master on weekdays. Human face is passable.

His words obviously entered Zhang Xiulang's heart, and the smile on his face deepened a bit, and he said, "I don't know what kind of different method it is?" He looked at Shen Qingjia inquiringly.

Shen Qingjia smiled and said: "This girl playing the piano is the first one in Yangzhou City. I wanted to let someone fix the day, but I said I was late, and I wondered who made such quick moves. It turned out to be Mr. Wei." .”

He smiled at Wei Xuan, and Wei Xuan also laughed when he heard what he said, cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Shen has won the prize, so we just go together this time."

Seeing Zhang Xiulang's heart fluttering, the other young masters were even more energetic. Zhang Xiulang slapped his fan and responded, and a group of people were surrounded by servants and headed towards the painting boat.

Before going out, Shen Qingjia gave Steward Shen a few words, and then went out with the young man in brocade clothes, the steward watched him leave, called a servant, gave some instructions in a low voice, and then let the servant walk towards Linlang Pavilion go.

It was still early, but the boat was already bustling with activity, decorated with resplendent resplendent everywhere, like a fairyland, they went in surrounded by beautifully dressed girls, calling out the names of the regular customers in their mouths.

Wei Xuan hugged a girl with a smile, and said, "Miss Fuqin, have you finished washing?"

The girl leaned against his arms weakly and boneless, and said in a delicate voice: "It's really an enemy, I only know to ask the girl who plays the piano when I come here, the mother has already made arrangements, please go upstairs."

A group of people went upstairs and were ushered into the boudoir of the girl playing the piano. It was not like the boudoir of ordinary girls. Once they entered the room, there were several small tables with wine and vegetables arranged around them, facing a gauze curtain. Through the thin gauze curtain, one could see a slim girl in Tsing Yi sitting behind her.

A group of people sat down, each surrounded by one or two beautiful girls, a girl in red walked into the room, the maid closed the door, her face was delicate and charming, the smile on her lips was piercingly charming, and she said in a clear voice: "The little girl dances lightly, and dances with the girl who plays the piano."

She raised her hand and patted it twice. The girl playing the piano behind the gauze curtain chuckled, and plucked the strings with her slender hands. The sound of the piano floated out like water, and Qing Wu slowly danced to the sound of the piano.

Gradually, the gentle and gentle sound of the piano became smaller, replaced by an increasingly faster and passionate melody, and Qingwu tapped her toes, stepped on the nodes and spun rapidly, and the red and complicated skirt fluttered like a butterfly , danced lightly, and then fell into Zhang Xiulang's arms, and gave Zhang Xiulang an affectionate look.

Zhang Xiulang's eyes darkened, and he was about to hug Qing Wu, but Qing Wu twisted his waist, drank the wine in his cup, escaped from his embrace, and jumped up again.

As the tempo became faster and faster, Qingwu's speed also increased, and everyone's hearts were lifted. When it was about to reach its peak, the sound of the piano stopped suddenly, leaving only the lingering aftertaste.

Qing Wu breathed a sigh of relief, the beauty of her brows became more vivid, she stood up, smiled lightly, but instead of walking towards Zhang Xiulang, she walked towards the gauze curtain, and slowly opened it, revealing the appearance of playing the piano inside.

If Qingwu is a ball of fire, then playing the piano is like a bottomless water. At first glance, she is a gentle and beautiful woman like water, but when she raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly, she realized Feel the style between the eyebrows.

Zhang Xiulang was still staring at Qing Wu just now, but now he was also attracted by playing the piano. With a faint smile on his face while playing the piano, he saluted them, "I have seen you all, young lady playing the piano."

Her voice was gentle and melodious, and there seemed to be a strange meaning when the tip of her tongue curled up. Zhang Xiulang stared blankly at her for a long time before he came back to his senses. Smile with satisfaction.

Wei Xuan looked at it, and there was a smile on his face. This banquet is to satisfy Zhang Xiulang, and a new musician and dancer came in, and the room was filled with melodious music. Joy scene.

Sitting next to Shen Qingjia was Qing Wu, who picked up a glass of blood-red wine and handed it to his lips, with a smile on his lips, "Please, sir."

Wei Xuan paid attention to the movement on his side, saw Shen Qingjia staring blankly at Qingwu, took the wine glass and drank it down, hugging the person and talking softly, the smile on his face was even more smug, he had tasted the ecstasy Naturally, I won't be able to let go of the taste in the future.

After a while, everyone put their arms around the girl they liked, and went to enjoy themselves separately. Zhang Xiulang had just drank a lot of wine, and was embraced by the piano player and the servant girl into the inner room. He shouted indistinctly: "Fuqin..."

Fuqin waved his hand to let the maid go out, looked at Zhang Xiulang's appearance, put away the slight smile on his face, took out a small medicine bottle from the dowry, poured it on the handkerchief, threw it on Zhang Xiulang's face, and soon fell asleep up...

Shen Mingshu looked at the news, the corners of his lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, he shook his head, and threw the note into the brazier, where it gradually burned to ashes, and the water gradually became muddy.

Shen Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Shen Li at the side, "Dr. Lin, who saw the master earlier, is back from his rounds?"

Shen Li bowed and replied: "That's right, someone sent a message just now, do you want to invite Dr. Lin to come over?"

"Go and invite." Shen Mingshu nodded. Dr. Lin would go to the countryside every month to make rounds for the villagers in each village. This time, it was delayed for a few days due to the weather, so it was time to invite him for consultation.

There was nothing important here, so Shen Mingshu ordered the shopkeeper below to handle it by himself, and took a carriage back to Shen's residence.

As soon as she entered the door, Luo Xin greeted her, and said with a smile: "Sister, I came back very early today."

Shen Mingshu smiled slightly, held her hand, and said softly: "It's nothing, so I'll be back first."

While the two were talking, the person who was going to pick up Dr. Lin also arrived, and they went towards the main courtyard together.

Father Shen was not in a good mood when he got up today, and he was still lying on the bed. Dr. Lin looked at it carefully, pondered for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand, got up and went out with Shen Mingshu to talk in detail.

Luo Xin was sitting inside with Shen's father, noticing Shen's haggard face and gray beard, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, she couldn't help but look out the door.

"Doctor Lin, please tell me." Seeing that Doctor Lin's expression was not clear, Shen Mingshu's heart sank slowly.

Dr. Lin said solemnly: "Master Shen's leg is an old injury, he can't move his leg, and his body's meridians are different, so his health is not very good. Now this situation is also natural."

Shen Mingshu's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "Is there any way to improve it?"

Dr. Lin shook his head and said: "It's just letting nature take its course. In fact, the solution is to find a hot spring, rest for a while, and the hot spring will nourish it. Now the weather is cold and the meridians are not smooth. Maybe soaking in the hot spring will help you feel better." , but only better."

The doctor looked at Shen Mingshu with a look of compassion in his eyes, kind but helpless.

Shen Mingshu nodded with a heavy heart, and ordered someone to send the doctor back, and then he walked into the house with a calm expression on his face, and sat by the bed with Luo Xin, and said softly, "Father."

Father Shen leaned against the head of the bed, smiled kindly, and said, "Don't worry, what did the doctor say?"

Shen Mingshu held Luo Xin's hand, not knowing who he was comforting, and said softly: "The doctor said that it's because of the cold weather in winter and the blood vessels are blocked. If you go to a hot spring to recuperate, it will improve."

Father Shen nodded kindly, and said: "Since that's the case, it's not bad to live in a hot spring village in the suburbs. Girl Luo Xin hasn't been there yet, so it's good to go and have a look together."

Shen Mingshu smiled lightly, and said: "I think so too. People come and go these days, but it's a bit noisy. It's better to live in Zhuangzi."

Now that he had made up his mind, Shen Mingshu sent someone to take care of all the matters at hand, and in a few days, he sent Shen's father to the hot spring village. Shen Qingyue was not in good spirits these days, so he went to raise him together. Zhang Xiulang and Shen Qingjia They stayed in Yangzhou City.
