Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 286
Jiangnan is prosperous.

Floods washed away many places.

But some high places are still safe and sound.

For example, the Hualou in the south of the Yangtze River.

The flower building is on a high terrain.

Expensive.

When you come to Jiangnan to play, you have to come to Hualou once.

It can be regarded as having truly been to Jiangnan.

Of course, on such a day, it is not easy for officials to go to Hualou for entertainment.

After all, the imperial envoys are here.

The corpses of the common people rushed to the capital.

At this time, going to the Flower House to have fun again is like an old birthday star hanged himself, looking for death.

But if you don’t go to Hualou, you can actually have the same enjoyment.

For example, invite Ji Nu from Hualou.

Under the guise of hosting a banquet for the new imperial envoy, Prefect Lu invited almost all the most famous concubines in Hualou.

Even the first concubine of Hualou, Miss Qu Qi, who never came to the door, also came.

There is a famous proverb in the south of the Yangtze River, that there is Concubine Luo in the north and Qu Qi in the south.

When this sentence comes out, it can be said that the weight is very heavy.

And those who have met Miss Qu Qi all agree with this sentence.

Although they had never met Concubine Luo, they felt that Qu Qi could afford it.

Moreover, she felt that if Mrs. Luo was not Concubine Luo, she might not have such a high reputation.

Qu Qi should actually be much more beautiful.

After all, Qu Qi is still a girl.

And no matter how beautiful Luo Fei was, she was only a half-aged mistress.

Qu Qi is willing to come to the door, it is the Music Master of the prefect's family, and said, the imperial envoy is actually the adopted son of Concubine Luo.

Probably because of this sentence, Qu Qi agreed to come.

Qu Qi's reputation in the south of the Yangtze River is so great that he doesn't really show prefect Lu's face very much.

Lu Zhifu met Qu Qi, but he felt that such a woman should be self-willed, and he was not angry.

But today Qu Qi can come, he is still very happy.

That huge fat belly kept shaking from laughing.

The three biggest officials in the south of the Yangtze River, Lu Zhifu, Song Tixue, and Long Tui Guan, but Long Tui Guan and the other two are not very friendly, and they seldom get together on weekdays.

Song Tixue was in charge of all the affairs of the students in the south of the Yangtze River. He was very elegant. Hearing that Master Yue said that Qu Qi would also come, he said with a smile, "Master Lu still has face. I have invited you a few times. Miss Qu Qi Refused."

Although Prefect Lu knew why Miss Qu Qi came back, he still enjoyed such admiration.

Smiling very proudly.

He glanced at Master Le with admiration.

He asked again: "What is the imperial envoy doing these days?"

Master Music said: "The little imperial envoy didn't do anything, just read in the study, but he said that he was short on time, he should come to eat and then read."

Prefect Lu laughed out loud.

"It's really a silver gun with a wax head. It's not good for the fancy. I really thought that I came to Jiangnan to study. What's the use of lighting the lamp at night in the study? In order to pretend, I should also go for a walk by the Shen River. Wet shoes, like ours. Officer Long Tui is very good at pretending."

Song Tixue shook his head and said: "Brother Lu, don't be careless, I think that kid has a few tricks, those servants he chose that day, and that rough envoy, I asked someone to investigate Turns out, as expected, they are all innocent people, and there is nothing wrong with people who are usually motivated to do things. You said that he is a scholar with no hair.

"Is there such a thing?" Prefect Lu looked at Master Music with a look of surprise.

Master Musician nodded.

This is indeed the case, but if it is said that the imperial envoy has come to investigate in advance, it is definitely impossible. The time is so short, and the imperial decree has not yet arrived.

But if there is no prior investigation, how could it be known so accurately.

Almost all the old fritters in the yamen were removed.

It would be too genius to do it on one side.

"The key is not the imperial envoy. Didn't you say that there were three people coming? And a boy? He disappeared when he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't see anyone again. What did he do?" Song Tixue analyzed with a serious face, still on the sidelines Skim the tea foam.

If the flood had affected him, the good tea he had saved was gone.

Because storing tea needs to be earthy and dry, his tea is all in the room below.

A flood caused him to be completely submerged, but his heart was broken.

Now, as a layman like Mr. Lu, the tea that he drinks all day is a bit frothy, and he is not used to it.

When Prefect Lu heard what Song Tixue said, his expression became serious.

Do pay attention.

He is an idiot, he got to this position step by step by luck and family relationship, and he mainly relies on Music Master and Song Ti to learn his ideas on weekdays.

However, although he is not very smart, he is willing to listen to opinions. The past few years have been pretty good.

However, if there is a flood, it is not easy to be fooled.

"It doesn't matter where that kid is going, in the south of the Yangtze River, it's impossible to find our palms." Lu Zhifu shook his head.

He has confidence in his heart, even if it is the worst in the end, he still has the Lu family behind him, and there is also a concubine Lu who is pregnant with the dragon seed.

……

Although there is no rain today.

However, the spacious avenue in the past was not clean after being washed by the heavy rain and river a few days ago, and the road was occasionally mixed with water plants.

Or some old clothes and rags.

At this time, even if Shen Guojiangnan was rich, he didn't say that he lost his old clothes, even rags, he had to pick them up, he could mend clothes, or even make them together, just another piece of clothes.

And now there are these on the side of the road. It is conceivable that the original owners of these clothes and rags are probably very few alive.

Of course, Jiangnan Haofu.

Hualou's No. [-] concubine, her travel ranking is not bad.

Among the mighty Ji female team, there is a car.

There is a woman in the car. She is not as serious about makeup as the other women in the car, with decals on her head, fat on her face, and red lips.

Nothing was painted on her face.

Eyebrows are not painted either.

But it is incomparably beautiful.

It looks like a living painting.

Like a fairy coming out of a painting.

Her eyes are charming, lively, and a little sad.

She is Qu Qi.

In the south is Qu Qi of Qu Qi.

She asked an older woman beside her, "Mom, do you think the imperial envoy will like me?"

"I will, Ah Qi, no one can refuse you, don't worry." The older woman is also very beautiful, and she speaks very well.

Very charming but not vulgar.

She is Hualou's mother.

At this moment, he carelessly flattered this girl.

A sweet smile appeared on the girl's face: "I think so, Jiangnan is very boring and too soft, I want to go to the north to see it too."

……

The reception banquet for the imperial envoy was very lively.

The Ji girls have passed two songs and dances.

But the imperial envoy never showed up.

A very strong young man came belatedly, always carrying two iron balls on his back.

When he came, he apologized to Zhifu Lu: "When my younger brother was obsessed with reading, he didn't remember to eat or sleep. It's not easy to interrupt him at this moment, so I came instead of my younger brother. Have a meal."

Prefect Lu's face was troubled.

Hearing that the imperial envoy was fascinated by reading a book, I once again felt that the imperial envoy was useless.

I really came here to study...

But when he heard the best words from this tall and strong boy, he was very angry again.

What is it called, it’s all about eating anyway...

The welcome banquet is not only about eating, but also watching programs and communicating... this stick...

When Xiao Wu came to eat, it was really a meal.

I ate very seriously, not a single grain of rice was dropped.

He didn't notice that as the representative of the imperial envoy, he was actually squeezed out and just sat in the corner.

He doesn't care, and doesn't really understand.

When he doesn't understand, he tends to keep quiet.

He was eating, and Xiao Wu, who is not picky on weekdays, ate a bit too much today, because he also felt that the food in Jiangnan seemed really delicious.

For example, the meatballs in front of him didn't know what kind of meat was in them. He had already eaten eighteen of them, but he still felt that the meatballs were tender and smooth, and they were indescribably delicious.

It's just singing and dancing in front of it, which is a bit noisy.

But think about it, compared to Shen Xuegong eating and listening to poetry, it is still bearable.

When Xiao Wu was holding No.19 meatballs, a girl with meatballs on her head stood in front of him and said, "This is a lion's head, pure [-]-month-old pork ribs simmered in good old chicken soup." , the meat on the back of the eighth article is made. It is a waste of work and waste. You are the elder brother of the imperial envoy. Aren’t you here to control the water? You eat so much, what will the people do?”

Xiao Wu was stunned.

Then he looked at the girl like an idiot.

"Can the common people eat such a lion's head?"
