Ten Miles of Qinhuai Road.

As the most prosperous river in the capital, the Qinhuai River was the premier gold-selling cave in the Southern Dynasties.

On this ten-mile road, there are the most prosperous and luxurious brothels, the most comfortable and elegant residences, the most magnificent restaurants and the most outstanding theater troupes.

Although there are the Peach Blossom Temple and the Academy close to the north bank of the Qinhuai River, they do not affect the lively and glamorous atmosphere of the Qinhuai River at all. In fact, these places actually attract the rosy atmosphere of the Qinhuai River.

The Qinhuai River does have its own charm. A curve of green water, shining with soft and smooth waves, embellishes the official atmosphere of the capital and adds a bit of poetry.

The best place to appreciate this poetry is the exquisite river houses built next to each other on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

Most of these river houses are exclusive courtyards with short walls. The houses inside, regardless of size, are all decorated with carved railings, painted sills, and beaded curtains and windows. The slightly larger courtyards have ponds, trees, and stones.

Plant flowers.

What is even more elegant is that each river house has a terrace with red railings, extending out of the water for people to cool off in the summer and enjoy the landscape lights.

In such an elegant place, the money is naturally also very elegant. Ordinary people cannot afford to live in this house.

The owners of these river houses are mostly wealthy people, or famous officials and ministers who enjoy a comfortable life. They include noble people who have no worries about food and clothing, and popular prostitutes who are famous for their beauty.

However, most river houses are for rent.

Most of the people who buy houses are aristocratic families, wealthy people, serving officials, palace eunuchs and even ordinary wealthy businessmen.

These investors took a fancy to the superior environment of the Qinhuai River, purchased river houses, and rented them out for profit.

Although the rent is very expensive, the princes, princes, grandsons, wealthy businessmen and wealthy guests of the past still flock to it.

Here they meet friends, receive guests, discuss business, and discuss poetry. Naturally, they also indulge in drinking, gambling, sleeping with prostitutes, watching plays, and thinking of all kinds of ways to have fun.

The Mo family also has a river house here. It's not big, but it's exquisite enough, and it's in a good location.

However, when the Mo family was in decline, the family tried to keep a low profile and rented out the river house.

Mo Wenquan is going to Qinjiahe Room now.

The river house of the Qin family is no less generous than all the river houses of the Mo family. It is located at the twists and turns of the Qinhuai River and is extremely protruding on the river bank, so that one window is in the busy city and the terrace is almost in the middle of the river.

This allows the Qinjia River House to be far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. When you feel lonely, you can open the window and see the bustling market.

Now, because of the name Ji Du Xiaoxiao, this Qinjia Hefang has become a bit poetic, and it has become an existence that many talented people yearn for.

However, although the Qin Family River House is nice, it pales in comparison to the river house next to it.

The river house next to the Qin family's river house can be regarded as the largest and most famous among all the river houses along the Qinhuai River.

Not only the environment is elegant and the layout is exquisite, but it is also large.

The river house has a beautiful pavilion facing the river. In summer and autumn, it is very suitable for enjoying the cool weather and enjoying the view, as well as for gatherings and banquets.

However, the most luxurious thing is that there is a warm pavilion. There is a cellar under which you can light a fire for heating. The outside of the pavilion is surrounded by white plums and green bamboos. In the middle of winter, you can enjoy the snow and cool down there. Therefore, many famous people in the past have

Your Majesty, noble men and noble people all like to stay there.

Because this river house is so popular, it is also called River House No. 3.

It is called No. 3 because there are two other river houses. Although the relief is not as good as that of No. 3 river house, its reputation is unparalleled.

One is called the Crane Room.

In the past, it was built by the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple, where he raised cranes and planted plum blossoms. The leisure and elegance was unparalleled. It is now a place for spiritual practice in the inner study hall.

One is called Jiange.

The place where the swordsman practiced in those days.

To this day, the stone tablet of the sword pavilion is still engraved with the poem "The hall was full of flowers and drunken three thousand guests, and one sword was frosty in fourteen states" carved by the sword immortal with his own hands.

This stele is also called the Mantang Stele.

In terms of conveying swords through poetry, words, and artistic conception, the Sword Immortal should be the first person in the world. Even in the Banishing Immortal Pavilion of the Poetry Sect and the Yanchi who preached in books, their leaders and elders are not as good as the Sword Immortal.

There is a rumor that if ordinary swordsmen are lucky enough to observe this full hall of monuments, those with low comprehension can be promoted to the third and fourth ranks without a problem. Those with high comprehension can go straight to one, and even enter the realm of cultivation.

It's a pity that ordinary people can't see this monument. Only the inner disciples of Yiqiu Villa are lucky enough to see it.

Mo Wenquan was thinking about this when he saw the sedan passing by Room No. 3 and heading towards the Qinjia River Room.

The windows of the Qinjia River Room were open, and several friends who had made an appointment were already waiting, and their happy backs could be vaguely seen.

Mo Wenquan became happy.

He has a piece of news that he is eager to share with all his friends.

However, when he looked away, Mo Wenquan was stunned by a chance glance at River House No. 3.

The No. 3 river house had its plaque changed and was turned into a wine house.

He couldn't help but wonder, Room No. 3 has been turned into a restaurant? This is not bad, drinking in Room No. 3 is considered a refined thing.

Just as Mo Wenquan was thinking this, he saw a woman leading someone out of the wine house.

She was bare-faced, without any decoration, as indifferent as a solitary plum blossom and a cold moon, cold and proud of frost. She wore a white jacket and a cloak, dressed like a maid, but her temperament was not inferior to that of any woman on the Qinhuai River. I don't know whose family it is.

Miss.

Mo Wenquan looked at it carefully.

This woman's appearance is also considered top-notch among those on the Qinhuai River. She may not be as beautiful as the eight most beautiful women in Qinhuai, but——

No!

Mo Wenquan shook his head, they were fundamentally different people.

Whether the women on the banks of the Qinhuai River are stubborn, charming, strong, delicate, or soft yet strong, they will inevitably become a little softer because of the infiltration of the Qinhuai River.

This woman is wild.

This wildness does not come from her skin, but from her bones.

Men in the capital exude the desire to conquer in their bones, and this kind of wild daughter is naturally itchy in the heart.

The itch in Mo Wenquan's heart was scratched by her.

What's even more commendable is that she is approachable and good at controlling her subordinates. The servants around her, under her calm instructions, followed her instructions and made purchases one by one.

These servants don't look simple.

Although they are young, they look like Lian Jiazi, but they are a little unconfident because they have just arrived in the capital.

This woman's subordinates are all trained men, and she is able to control these people, which shows that this woman has an extraordinary family background and extraordinary abilities.

Who knows who the owner of this tavern is to be able to raise a girl like this?

Then again.

House No. 3 has changed its house number, which means it has obviously changed its owner. Anyone who dares to spend a lot of money to buy a house by the Qinhuai River is a respectable person.

Why has he never heard of anyone related to the wine house?

If there was such a prominent figure, the officials would have mentioned it at some point during the New Year greetings this morning.

But he got up early this morning and accompanied his grandfather to entertain the officials at home. While they were chatting, Mo Wenquan never heard of such a person.

Weird.

Mo Wenquan felt helpless when he wanted to make friends but didn't know where to start.

The woman led the people away.

The carriage stopped just in front of Qinjiahe House.

There was already a maid waiting in front of the door. When she saw Mo Wenquan coming down, she hurriedly came up to welcome him in.

At the door, Du Xiaoxiao's mother, a plump and fair woman who was no longer young but still dressed in a gorgeous dress, came to greet her.

With a very sincere smile on her face, she welcomed Mo Wenquan in and kept talking along the way.

She told Mo Wenquan that her husband Chen Xi, Shen Yan and Lin Shengwen had already arrived and had been waiting for Mo Wenquan for a long time.

She also said that from last night's New Year's Eve to today, people kept sending messages asking Du Xiaoxiao to come and drink with her.

There were adults from the cabinet, adults from the Jin Yiwei, and the young master of the Gu family, but she refused them all.

"Just to let Shiniang serve the husbands of Chunshe wholeheartedly." Du Xiaoxiao's mother said with a smile.

Mo Wenquan nodded absently.

Spring Society is a small group formed spontaneously by the younger generation. The reason why it is named Spring Society has to start with other societies.

There are four small groups of the younger generation in the capital, the earliest of which is Dongshe.

The families of the children of Dongshe were mostly ordinary people who, after taking the scientific examination and becoming officials, sought refuge with the officials of Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Xichang and Neishutang in order to find support.

These officials could not make a big impact, and would eventually end up being abandoned, and even abandoned by the ruthless eunuchs, leaving the place covered with snow, hence the name Dongshe.

As the name suggests, Qiu Society comes from Yiqiu Villa, and is mainly composed of children of the Lu family, who are the most powerful in the society.

They focus on spiritual practice.

The Xia Society is a society that can compete with Qiu Shan. Their society is headed by the Gu family, also known as the Uncle Party.

As for their Chun Club, it was the last to be established, but it has a great reputation. Because the predecessor of Chun Club was called Huatang Chun, where Mo Wenquan's elder brother Mo Wenqiu first learned opera and became obsessed with it.
