Chapter 16 The Shadow
"Young Master, I've rented the boat!"
Just when Qin Keqing and Zhao Xichun wanted to find out, Zhao Le appeared in time. Seeing this, Zhao Rong repeatedly said, "Let's go, no matter how late you are, you won't be able to see the Mid-Autumn Festival lyrics!"
"This person..."
Qin Keqing shook her head in annoyance. Tonight, her impression of Zhao Rong became more and more blurred. She was becoming increasingly unobstructed by this person.
Let’s not mention Qin Keqing’s full of doubts, but only the pleasure boat that Zhao Le rented is definitely the four words exquisite and exquisite!
The lights are decorated on the pleasure boat, with dazzling yellow paint on the top, and the boat columns are carved with beams and phoenixes. When looking at the graceful figures on the lanterns, they are all lifelike.
When Zhao Rong saw this pleasure boat, he couldn't help but like it. Zhao Xichun behind him praised, "This is much better than the pleasure boat in our family!"
Although Qin Keqing did not say anything, the joy in his eyes had already betrayed everything!
When he got on the boat and went to see the night view of the Qinhuai River from the boat, Zhao Rong had to sigh that the nightlife of Jinling City was not bad at all in the future generations. No wonder the four words "debauchery and wealth" passed down from generation to generation!
"Young Master, Madam, you are here in time. If you are later, the Mid-Autumn Festival Ci Club will be over!" The boater was a gray-haired old man. He looked at Zhao Rong, handsome and handsome, Qin Keqing was as beautiful as a flower, and the maids around him also had their own postures. The two servants were also strong in shape, so he knew that this group of people was not an ordinary family.
The old man knew that such wealthy people liked to listen to some funny things the most, so he rowed and said, "This year's word meeting is much more prosperous than in previous years!"
Just as Zhao Rong was about to hear some of the customs and customs of Jinling, he followed the old man's words and asked, "Oh, why is the lyrics this year more prosperous than in previous years?"
The old man stroked the tiger's beard and said with some show-off, "Don't you know?"
Zhao Rong shook his head and said he didn't know.
The old man smiled and said, "The little old man is going to talk. This year, talented people gathered in Jinling. In addition to participating in the annual Mid-Autumn Festival Ci Festival, the most important thing is to participate in next year's spring exam. Therefore, in Jinling City this year, there are not only scholars who participated in the autumn examination, but also juren who passed the autumn examination in previous years. Therefore, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Ci Festival is much more enthusiastic than in previous years!"
"So that's why?"
After hearing this, Zhao Rong smiled immediately, but before he could digest the news, the old man who was rowing said again, "But this year's lyrics will be so lively. In addition to the gathering of talents, there is another reason!"
Seeing that Zhao Rong was ignorant, the old man did not make a fool of himself and answered directly, "This year, the Jinling Education Office will select the courtesans. The 16th floor of Jinling is here. Do you think, how can it be less lively tonight?"
"Courtessy? Sixteenth Floor of Jinling?"
Zhao Rong was confused again. Jinling Jiaofangsi knew that he had also seen it in the novel when he was selecting the courtesan in his previous life, but what was the 16th floor of Jinling?
"Young Master, you won't even know the 16th floor of Jinling, are you?"
Zhao Rong's expression was clearly visible, and the old man who was rowing was even more surprised. When he looked at Zhao Rong's outfit, he didn't look like a nerd who didn't know the place of romance?
The old man rowing man felt bored and had to bury his head on the boat, but Zhao Xichun looked at Zhao Rong in surprise and said, "Brother Rong, you shouldn't be frightened by the assassin?"
Zhao Rong said angrily, "My little aunt, do I have to know what is the 16th floor of Jinling, my nephew?"
Zhao Xichun laughed, "Brother Rong, don't spread your words, otherwise there will be many infatuated women seeking death in the Qinhuai River. Haha, in this Jinling City, who doesn't know that Brother Rong is a regular visitor on the Qinhuai River and the 16th floor of Jinling!"
Zhao Rong's words have come to this point, and he can understand what the 16th floor of Jinling is for, it is nothing more than a place of romance and romance like brothels!
Zhao Rong was exposed by Zhao Xichun, the little aunt, and always felt that she could not put her face down, so she turned her head to see the scenery on the river bank and stopped talking.
Qin Keqing thought about meeting a scum like Chen Zihao in front, and now she followed Zhao Rong to the "old lover" place, and regretted coming out tonight. She glared at Zhao Rong, but thought in her heart that Zhao Rong didn't remember whether the 16th floor of Jinling was true or false, would she pretend to show it to herself?
Zhao Rong and Qin Keqing were used as silences. Zhao Xichun was bored and pulled matcha, Ruizhu, and Baozhu to play with them. Several people were attracted by pedestrians on the shore and were hooked by the pleasure boats on the river. The crisp sound of the girl's house immediately attracted the attention of the people drinking and having fun on the nearby pleasure boats. If it weren't for the extraordinary clothes of Xichun and others, Zhao Le and Zhao Hu, the two servants who were eyeing each other, were afraid that these people would pounce on them like crazy bees, waves, butterflies.
Zhao Rong did not notice the strangeness of the neighboring pleasure boat. He immersed himself in the Qinhuai River, wanting to experience the prosperity and excitement of the ten miles of Qinhuai, because these noise and noise can make him forget the scenes of his previous life and make him truly remember his current identity.
Just as the boats were marching into a wide area of water, and the various boats around were gathering more and more, suddenly, a sound of flowing guzheng came over, and then, like a palm and stroking the strings, the strings became more and more rapid and deeper. Just when everyone was attracted by the sound of the guzheng, a beautiful female voice, as if coming from Guanghan Palace, sang crisply when the bright moon would come, and asked the blue sky with wine...
After singing the first two lines, a few female voices came in. Gradually, the lyrics and music became more and more intense. The elegance of me who wanted to ride the wind was perfectly presented in the singing.
Just as everyone was listening to the song "Shuitu Songtou", suddenly, someone shouted excitedly, "Look, in the attic..."
Zhao Rong complained about the sudden noise, but it was too late to scold him. Following the sound just now, more and more people looked at a loft on the bank of the Qinhuai River. Then, more and more voices began to amaze, which was a kind of praise from the heart.
Zhao Rong was still thinking about finding the sound of the guzheng and singing just now, but was disturbed by the noise. Zhao Rong looked up the attic by the river angrily. He wanted to know what attracted the attention of the Qinhuai River.
But with just one glance, Zhao Rong's heart couldn't help but thrill!
A graceful figure was dancing gracefully against the white jade plate like a full moon, wearing a blue long skirt, dancing with the wind, as if the dancing people were about to fly to the palace of Guizhou along the breeze!
"Yu Hongxiu, it's Yu Hongxiu..."
