Chapter 87 Xu Jie's old friend

I didn’t get drunk, so I made an appointment to drink again in the lake, and it was already afternoon.

Xu Jie and others went down the Wanghu Tower and went straight to the small pier by the lake. After a while, the Wanghu Tower was empty. Although the people in the building had not dispersed immediately with Xu Jie and others, they all dispersed and went to the west lake. How could Wu Boyan and Xie Fang not follow him?

Everyone has great works, but I hope they can attract the attention of Wu Boyan and Xie Fang, so that this opportunity will be worth the effort. I can boat in the lake, sing in a cheerful manner, and maybe I can also get a boat to travel on the same boat.

The Painted Boat in West Lake is the most lively place except the Qinhuai River. Although the East Lake in Dajiang County is also very lively, it is far from it.

Most of the courtesans in the south choose a time to come to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Jiangning. The purpose of coming here is to learn some popular lyrics and cards in Jiangnan and learn new masterpieces in Jiangnan. In this way, they can become more talented after returning. Second, the owner behind this boat also wants to come to Jiangnan. The elegant objects popular among the literati in Jiangnan should also be brought back, whether it is Jiangnan fine wine, Jiangnan fragrant tea, or the new teapot and tea cups produced in Jiangnan, after taking them back, it is the style. As long as you introduce this to the guests, it will be the price doubled.

Wu Boyan and Xie Fang arrived at the wharf, and countless pleasure boats were parked on the shore, and everyone's eyes were focused on the group. Obviously, no one here didn't know that Wu Boyan was going to raft the lake today.

Everyone is looking forward to it, and there are even some guild figures showing their magical powers. Although these guild figures take care of their own identities and do not speak up to attract customers, there are also many people on the deck, including women playing the piano and practicing light singing.

They were all looking forward to Wu Boyan being on the boat. If Wu Boyan got on the boat and wrote another song on the boat, the courtesan on the boat would rely on this song, which would make a fortune. The boss would publicize the outside world and think that Wu Boyan would write a song for a certain woman, and his style would immediately be different from others.

Wu Boyan had no need for the ship, and he had no desire for the women on the ship. In this way, he seemed casual. He looked up and took a look at the ship casually, so he looked at the ship and went to that ship.

Xu Jie naturally didn't care about this. He followed Wu Boyan to a boat and walked to the dock. He was about to get on the boat. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure not far away.

A woman stood on the side of the boat, not talking or singing, but kept watching the group from far to near, with a slightly disappointed expression. The woman obviously recognized Xu Jie, but was embarrassed to call, so she could only watch Xu Jie be on the other boat.

Xu Jie saw the acquaintance, smiled slightly, stopped, and said, "Master Wu, get on that boat, I met an old friend."

Wu Boyan was invincible and looked at Xu Jie's eyes and looked at the other side. Seeing a beautiful woman standing on the side of the boat, she stopped and turned around, joking, "Wen Yuan met an old friend, but she was a good friend?"

It is not shameful to be affair with a literati, but rather an enviable thing.

Xu Jie was slightly embarrassed and answered: "What is the reason for the good looks? But I just saw it once. It is also a good thing for people from fellow villagers to take care of their business. Meeting old friends in a foreign land is also a happy event. This woman is kind-hearted and should help her."

Wu Boyan had already started to head towards Xu Jie's old friend's boat, but he still joked: "Happy event? Okay, I'll help you with a happy event tonight. Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is just a happy event. The wedding night is the real happy event."

Wu Boyan said with a smile in front of his head, and Xu Jie was even more embarrassed. Only Xie Fang said, "Brother Wu, the older he is, the less shame he is, and he is disrespectful to his elders."

Xie Fang said to Wu Boyan with no shame. Perhaps someone would agree with him very much. The little girl Xi Yu around Lu Ziyou should agree with him most. If Xie Fang knew that Wu Boyan was drunk and urinated at someone else's doorstep, he would not know what his expression would be.

Wu Boyan was not angry when he heard this. He just laughed spontaneously. He looked up and looked at Xu Jie's old friend a few times. He also looked back and looked at the woman in white who was holding a sword beside Xu Jie, and seemed to have noticed that the face of the woman in white changed slightly. He stopped talking about the topic of this wedding night.

But Wu Boyan probably didn't notice another handsome boy holding a knife, and his face was similar to that of the woman in white. If Wu Boyan noticed the change in the handsome boy's expression, he might also have to doubt whether Xu Wenyuan had any good things about Long Yang and a habit of breaking sleeves. Then Xu Jie would have really been wronged...

Xu Jie's old friend on the boat is naturally Yan Siyu, the courtesan, on the East Lake of Dajiang County, and Xu Jie only knows such a person.

Yan Siyu stood by the side of the boat and saw the group suddenly turning to her side. She was very surprised, but she quickly turned around and entered the cabin. Even if she couldn't really let her greet the guests on the boat, this was inconsistent with the woman's identity.

But after arriving at the cabin, Yan Siyu did not go into the boudoir, but looked out in a small window, and was also confirming whether Xu Jie and his group were really coming to their own pleasure boat.

It was not until a few people were about to board the boat that Yan Siyu was excited and hurried to the boudoir. A courtesan from another place was not famous in Hangzhou. Suddenly, Wu Boyan came. This was really a great surprise. Under the surprise, Xu Jie beside Wu Boyan was the one who Yan Siyu wanted to thank him for so much.

The servant under the boat froze his face, and his body was bent to 90 degrees without raising his head, and he directly asked Wu Boyan in front of him to the boat.

Wu Boyan got on the boat first, looked around, and saw Xu Jie's old friend, and turned around and teased, "Wenyuan, what's your old friend's name?"

"Yan Siyu." Xu Jie replied, and he did not look at the teasing meaning on Wu Boyan's face.

"The name is pretty good, and I think the skills are not bad." After Wu Boyan finished speaking, he turned to the servant and said, "Let's drive the boat first, you will have money. Please find the old man behind him."

Wu Boyan’s meaning is that this pleasure boat no longer needs to attract customers, so it has been booked.

At this time, the mother of Huafang had just received the news and walked out of the cabin quickly, looking a little nervous. She calmed down and hurriedly walked to the front of her head with a blessing, smiling: "Mr. Wu is a blessing that I can't even ask for even my family. How can I collect your money? Mr. Xiao, please come in. The best Longjing and the best Huadiao, ready immediately."

Upon hearing this, Wu Boyan waved his hand: "Since you are taking care of your old friend's business, you naturally have to pay. The old man behind me has money and doesn't care about this little expense."

Xie Fang looked ugly and replied, "I only have that little salary a year, how can I afford to support your expenses?"

Wu Boyan suddenly came up with a serious look and said, "Thank you, I have also been an official..."

Xie Fang did not answer when he heard this, but went over Wu Boyan and walked straight to the front, with his hands raised his head. It seemed that Wu Boyan said, "I spend money, I will go ahead."

Wu Boyan didn't care, but just smiled and turned around and signaled to Xu Jie, and the few people entered the hall of the pleasure boat.

This pleasure boat was obviously not the same as Xu Jie's last time on East Lake in Dajiang County. It was obviously much smaller and the layout was much simpler. Xu Jie didn't care. The two old men sat opposite each other and Xu Jie sat down with Wu Boyan.

The windows on all sides are open, the spring breeze blows, and there is also a breath of spring.

Huafang's mother was serving her, busy and busy. Yan Siyu was still taking care of her red makeup in front of the mirror, and she had to go through some complicated dressing to change into the best clothes.

Xie Fang played the piano first. Before playing the piano formally, Xie Fang looked at the piano prepared by the pleasure boat and tried the audio. He also commented: "This piano is not bad, the sound quality is correct, but it is missing the age and there is no trace under the belly, which makes the sound quality lacks some transparency."

Xu Jie didn't know much about piano tracing. He only read some records in books, and then he knew that the better the piano, the more years it took. Over time, there would be cracks on the belly of the piano and more patterns, the more transparent the sound quality, and the better the resonance.
