Chapter 19

At dusk, the sky gradually fades away.

The Chuyao Pavilion was neatly tidy and clean, and the girls inside were all dressed up, either placing the strings, or leaning on the railings and windows, waiting for the guests to come.

Aunt Cai'er looked down from the stands on the third floor. Su Haoyi just looked at the first floor and saw that all kinds of things were in place before going up to the second floor.

Several girls intercepted her at the stairs and teased, "What good day is today? Which girl are you going to meet when you dress like this?"

Today, Su Haoyi wore a new tuft of cross-collared, scarlet arrow sleeves, gauze robe, with jade-colored silk ribbons tied around her waist, and plum blossom knots were tied to her waist. A pair of palace ears scattered on her waist, making her waist look thin and tough and her figure look elegant.

This color of clothes is not allowed to wear after 18 years old, and it is easy to look fancy and frivolous.

But if a 12 or 13-year-old boy wears it, he will inevitably be a childish person and is not outstanding enough.

But Su Haoyi's appearance and skin color look very good for this dress, and it looks good from a distance and close up.

"I'm going out for the banquet later, and I've told my mother," Su smiled before speaking: "The sisters are all so eye-catching today, and they will definitely be able to receive handsome, considerate and generous guests."

"You guys, your mouth is so sweet! If it weren't for you, we might not have stayed in Chuyao Pavilion!" One of the girls patted Su Haoyi's shoulder with a fan and said, "Tell me the truth, are you in love with someone outside?"

"Nothing," Su smiled kindly: "Aren't I still young!"

Many girls in Chuyaoguan had thought about Su Haoyi, but she never recruited them. Everyone didn't know that she was a daughter, so they suspected that she was someone outside.

Of course, some people suspect that she and Ji Xing had a break-up of their sleeves, after all, these two people are still very fed up together.

"Little mouse, it will be difficult for you to leave if you don't leave," said Wangyu, tilted downstairs, "Master Sun Ba said he wanted to find you before he hits you! If he really wants him to see you, it would be strange if he doesn't talk for an hour or two."

"Ajin will come later and let the eighth master talk to him about the book!" Su Haoyi raised an eyebrow at Wangyu, thanking her for her reminder.

"Boy, if I was ten years younger, I would have told you to be so enchanted." Ruan Yu smiled and turned around to get the pipa.

Of course she knew that Su Haoyi was a woman, but she had to admit that she had the ability to take both men and women.

Su Haoyi went upstairs to say hello to his mother, then went downstairs and walked through the back door.

Today, the young master of Hai Qingqiu's family invited a full moon banquet. Su Haoyi, as a brother of Yi, of course, had to attend the banquet, but the boat gang is different from other portals. They treat guests at night, and the more the banquet the more it is.

Hai Qingqiu has been on the board of the boss of the Boat Gang for nearly twenty years. Apart from the wedding ten years ago, he has never celebrated it because of anything.

So today's banquet must be very grand and lively. Su Haoyi knew this very well, so he did not dare to neglect it.

Although to outsiders, she is now in the boat gang, Su Haoyi dares not be fearless. To put it bluntly, it is her temperament.

Hai Qingqiu's mansion is in Lantou Lane Street, Jingming Street. This place was originally a slum, and it can be seen from the name of the alley.

The Boat Gang was originally a gang formed by poor brothers who were struggling to make a living on the water, and the people here were not of high origins.

However, later the boat gang gradually grew bigger and monopolized the water business of the people inside and outside the capital, and gradually became more developed.

The 18th Lane of Jiu Street in Beijing refers to the streets and alleys that were originally established when Tiandu was first built. Now, hundreds of years have passed and have expanded more than doubled.

But people have made a convention and still use Nine Streets and Eighteen Lanes to refer to the streets of the capital.

This place is four streets away from Chuyaoguan. Even though Su Haoyi was quick to walk, the night had already fallen when he arrived in front of the Haifu gate.

She had passed by here a few times before, but she had never been in.

In the past, the Hai Mansion was closed and only the side doors were opened. Today, the lights were decorated and the doors were wide open.

The person who welcomed the door was Mr. Tong San, who brought a few young and smart brothers in the gang.

When Mr. Tong saw Su Haoyi, he hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Su is here. The leader and his wife have asked him several times."

"I'm really sorry for calling my brother and sister-in-law to remember you," Su Haoyi said while replying to the gift: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll go in first and come back to talk to you."

"It's my first time to come back. I'll send you in before coming out." Mr. Tong San knew that Su Haoyi was the guest of honor for Hai Qingqiu and his wife, so he did not dare to neglect at all.

The yard of Hai Qingqiu's house is so big, and the building is also grand, with the taste of a powerful man in the world.

The house where the seventh entrance is located is in the Qixin Hall, where the third entrance is. Su Haoyi entered the door and took a look. It was estimated that there were hundreds of tables.

It was very lively at that time. These people were all rough people, and they paid attention to eating large pieces of meat and drinking big bowls of wine. They were talking about loyalty in the world.

Mr. Tong San looked at it for a long time but didn't see Hai Qingqiu. He said to Su apologetically: "Mr. Su Xiao, the gang leader is not here now. I think he is going to the back house to see the wife and the young master go, so I will find you a seat first."

Su Haoyi knew that Mr. Tong had also got the front door to welcome guests, so he quickly smiled and said, "I'll just find a place to sit. Mr. San, please go out and do your business quickly, don't delay the main business."

Mr. Tong had already received Hai Qingqiu's instructions and arranged Su Haoyi at the main table.

At this time, there were a few people sitting on the table, some of whom were the heads of the Boat Gang, and some of whom were wealthy businessmen from Tiandu, who had business dealings with the Boat Gang on weekdays.

The empty seat in the middle was of course left for Hai Qingqiu. Master Tong San asked Su to sit on Hai Qingqiu's left hand.

Su Haoyi disagreed no matter what he said, and insisted on sitting on the table next to him. Mr. Tong San persuaded him for a long time but it was useless.

He had to say, "Mr. Su Xiao, you are really making things difficult for us. The leader of the gang will blame me for being unfavorable. You can sit here and think it's all pity for us."

Su was very generous but had to sit on the seat opposite Hai Qingqiu, which was the last place on the entire table.

When Mr. Tong saw that she had sat down, he went out.

In fact, since Su Haoyi entered the door, many pairs of eyes fell on her.

Although Su Haoyi is young, many people know her. Many of them have been to Chuyaoguan and have seen her.

Su did not avoid good intentions. If anyone looked at her, she looked over kindly and smiled, which was considered to be a greeting.

"Let me see who this wonderful man is!" A rough voice sounded behind Su Haoyi, and then a big hand was about to pat her thin shoulders.

Who would have thought that Su Haoyi turned around and barely avoided this man's hand and let the man slap him in vain.

The man couldn't help feeling a little unhappy. He was about to have an attack and met Su Haoyi's smiling face with Chunfeng.
