Chapter 22: Jiankang Shuangjue
"Five healthy sons?" Yuan Zhan looked at Wei Jie in shock when he heard this. Does anyone know more about these five people than your Wei Jie?
Wei Jie saw Yuan Zhan's expression and immediately understood the reason. He pointed to his head and said, "I guess you have heard of the conflict between me and Xie Kun. Since then, I can't remember many people and things!"
"Yes, yes, my young master seems to have changed now!" Komatsu assisted by the god next to him at the right time.
"So that's it!" Yuan Zhan did not feel any suspicious and came to his senses.
"A group of playboys, who only know how to be romantic and romantic all day long, live and die in a drunken and dream. The name of the five sons of Jiankang is just a simplified and self-proclaimed person. In the future, the Shubao brothers should keep a distance from them!"
As he spoke, Yuan Zhan was very disdainful of what the so-called Jiankang five sons did on weekdays. Now he was happy with the Wei stairs and was inevitably persuaded by kind words.
"Let me tell me!" Wei Jie was curious. He dared to call himself the fifth son of Jiankang, but he was afraid that he would still have some weight in Jiankang City and would have to deal with him in the future. It is necessary to know yourself and your enemy, and it is necessary to spy on some military information in advance.
Seeing Wei Jie insisting, Yuan Zhan could only shake his head slightly and barely say, "I don't know much about these five people. They are Tan Daoji, Mao Xiuzhi, Zhu Lingshi, and Xi Sengshi!"
"The five people have a common characteristic except Tan Daoji. They are all children of Qiao Yu's gentry, and they are quite famous in Jiankang City!"
"On weekdays, these five people follow Wang Hong's head. These six people are inseparable from entering and leaving. They are representatives of the younger generation in Jiankang City today!"
"Who is Wang Hong?" Before Jiankang's five sons could figure out who was with whom, Yuan Zhan had another Wang Hong in his mouth. Wei Jie suddenly felt a little headache. There was a mixture of fish and dragons in Jiankang City, and now there is no longer the protection of the Wei family, so he couldn't help but feel a little more worried.
"Wang Hong, you don't know, Wang Hong, you must know his great-grandfather, Wang Dao!" Yuan Zhan said with a smile. When talking about Wang Dao, there was a flash of disdain in his eyes.
"Wang Dao's great-grandson?" Wei Jie was very surprised. How could Wang Dao not know? In the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was a pattern of sharing the world with the king and horse. It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Dao's position in the court was not as good as Xie Anchae today.
Wei Jie nodded silently. Not to mention the origin of the five Jiankang sons themselves, just being better than Wang Dao’s great-grandson was enough to make them rampant in Jiankang City.
"These Qiao Yu gentry relied on the support of the Sima family, not only looked down on poor families, but also the local gentry ignored them at all. Now, Jiankang City can be said to be in chaos and full of complaints!" Yuan Zhan said in a sigh.
Wei Jie was even more speechless. Although he knew some of the history of the Jin Dynasty, he didn't know much about the details of such a fight between the gentry, and Yuan Zhan could only hear and remember it in his heart!
The solution to all these problems depends on Xie An. Thinking of the charm that shocked everything in Xie An’s court, the idea of Weijie’s marriage to make friends with the Xie family became instantly hot, and I wish I could go to Wuyi Lane to visit Xie’s mansion in the next moment!
"Brother Shishen, do you have anything else?"
Yuan Zhan thought Wei Jie was in a low mood and wanted to expel the guests. He bowed embarrassedly: "Japan shouldn't be bothering brothers Shubao today. I'll visit you again a few days later!"
"Don't let it go, if it's okay, how about you and I go to the Xie Mansion to visit? Now!" Wei Jie grabbed Yuan Zhan and said eagerly, Wuyi Lane was deep, and if he didn't take the opportunity to pull this stupid boy together and let him go by himself, he wouldn't know when he would take advantage of the big backer of the Xie family!
"Take it seriously?" Yuan Zhan was overjoyed when he thought that he might be able to see Xie Zhongling in a short time. He was upright and dull. If no one was with him, he was afraid that he would not be able to get through the guards at the entrance of Wuyi Lane!
Xiao Song also thought about going to Wuyi Lane to see her, but was kept by Wei Jie. Although the villa on West Street was not big, it was not appropriate to have only two women, Wang and Xiao E at home. Wei Jie and his mother Wang explained to Wuyi Lane and followed Yuan Zhan to Wuyi Lane.
It was dusk, and it was getting late. The Qinhuai River was already brightly lit and the boat was shining. I guess the literati and scholars in Jiankang City had already begun their nightlife of drunkenness and dreams. Wei Jie originally wanted to find a place to eat to treat his stomach first, but he was short of money and Yuan Zhan looked impatient and had to give up!
Jiankang City is divided into two by the Qinhuai River. Above the Qinhuai River, there are twenty-four floating bridges built in total from Shitou City to Qingxi. The largest and most famous of them is the Zhuque Bridge, which is known as Dahang by the world. Wuyi Lane is located on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, not far from Zhuque Bridge.
"Huaiyue Tower?"
Although Wei Jie, who was still hungry, had no intention of enjoying the scenery on the Qinhuai River, a tall and brightly lit attic along the way still attracted his attention.
"The other part of the two great places of romance and romance in Jiankang City is known as the Qinhuai Tower, but compared with Qinhuai Tower, it is much more vulgar and is more popular among the young men and young men in Jiankang City. The vulgar performances that are not available in Qinhuai Tower, and the Wushisan scattered by Jiankang High Gate. Here, as long as you have money, you can enjoy it!"
Yuan Zhan's voice came over, mixed with the sound of piano music from Huaiyue Tower, which seemed a little ethereal. Wei Jie smiled bitterly in his heart. He wouldn't think that I could not walk when I saw the brothel, but I actually smelled the fragrance of wine and meat inside!
"There is a most beautiful man from Qinhuai Tower, Yan Mengmeng. I wonder who is in this Huaiyue Tower?" When talking about Qinhuai Tower, Wei Jie couldn't help but think of the mysterious figure hidden behind the screen, and asked casually.
"Su Qiaoer, a strange woman who is the best in Jiankang City, has an ordinary appearance, but she can always show her supreme charm during the conversation. The smoky sound of the piano and Su Qiaoer's innocent conversation are known as the best in Jiankang!" Yuan Zhan has never set foot in a place like the Huaiyue Tower in Qinhuai Tower, and he is unwilling to interact with those high-ranking children on weekdays. Most people in Jiankang City know about the things he said.
"Is Jiankang's two-way success? I must go and see it if I have the chance!" Wei Jie thought to himself that there was no such thing as to avoid the elder brother on the other side from him from having to educate him again.
"Let's go, the Suzaku Bridge should be just a short distance ahead!"
Just as the two were about to turn around and leave, they saw five or six young men across the street surrounded by a group of people and walked towards Huaiyue Tower. Yuan Zhan frowned and pulled Weijie to take a few steps, trying to avoid going over.
"Yeah, isn't that Weijie Uncle Bao?"
A young man had sharp eyes and suddenly recognized the Wei Jie in the crowd. He immediately rushed out and shouted as he walked: "Brother Shubao, please stay!"
Wei Jie turned around and saw that he was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a meticulous bun with a handsome and elegant facial features, but his face turned a little pale, but he didn't know him. He immediately gave Yuan Zhan a questioning look.
"Zhuge Changmin!" Yuan Zhan could only stop helplessly and whisper to Wei Jie.
Wei Jie suddenly realized that this kid was Zhuge Changmin who had been trying to get Wushi San before. He turned around and said lukewarmly: "It turns out that it is Brother Zhuge, are you here to have fun again?"
"You must be happy in life. Tomorrow will be sad tomorrow!" Zhuge Changmin recited inconsistent poems, while ignoring Wei Jie's lukewarm expression, he enthusiastically took his arm and walked towards his companions.
"Today is the 18th birthday of Brother Xiuyuan. I will hold a wine to celebrate in Huaiyue Tower. Why don't Brother Shubao go together?"
After saying this, Zhuge Changmin whispered: "After the banquet, Su Qiaoer will hold a chat party, so you must not miss it!"
While speaking, Wei Jie was pulled into the crowd. Yuan Zhan ignored him, but he was unwilling to leave Wei Jie alone. He gritted his teeth and followed him.
Wei Jie walked forward with Zhuge Changmin, but he was surprised in his heart: "This kid is so enthusiastic, don't you know that I have been expelled from the Wei family?"
There were more than twenty people in a group of people, and more than a dozen strong men on the outside were obviously guards. Wei Jie glanced at him and said that in addition to Zhuge Changmin, there were five people dressed up by the young masters in the crowd. Jiankang's five sons should be there, and the leader of the one is likely Wang Hong, the great-grandson of Wang Dao, but I don't know who Zhuge Changmin said was.
Except for Zhuge Changmin, the others saw that Wei Jie was not very enthusiastic, but just looked expressionless and greeted him politely. However, the person who was suspected to be Wang Hong seemed a bit graceful.
