At the beginning of the Si Dynasty, the Nuanqing Pavilion was quiet, and the girl who had been busy all night was still asleep.

Yun Niang went up the street from the back door with a thick cloth dress and carried a bamboo basket. Huaxiang Hutong was deserted, and there were lanterns in several brothels. The turtle man was lazy and busy and put out the candles. Not far from this street, there was a slurry shop. A girl like her who had no livelihood often took some sewing in the slurry shop, and earned a few copper coins.

I was once a red card for Nuanxiang Pavilion and had a glory. However, when I was young, I was ignorant and spent money like water. The perfume produced in Beijing was sold in Jiangzhou for 200 taels per bottle. I didn't blink with two bottles a month. Yun Niang sighed softly, and when I was surprised, everything began to change. First, the Xiang Pavilion where I lived was replaced by a young and beautiful junior. Enke who came to support me no longer entered his room. When he was released, he was cheering and gradually became sitting in the corner holding a pipa to accompany others. Finally, he moved into a miscellaneous house in the backyard and became an old mother who looked down upon him.

With her hair tightened on her temples, Yun Niang felt that she was not old yet. A thirty-three-year-old woman could still attract men when dressed up. Five years ago, the scholar named Qiao said that she was willing to take her home. The scholar was from Huangyuan Township, this county. She looked a little darker, but she was a gentleman.

Yun Niang was thinking and speeding up her pace. She was moved at the time, but she still owed Nuanqing Pavilion 800 taels of silver. How could she get out of the way without paying off the debt? Perhaps God was pitying herself. The shopkeeper of the wash shop looked at her pitiful. After several reunions, she introduced the business of making connections to herself. The first time she said the code, she was so scared that she was half-hearted. When she received fifty taels of silver commission a month later, her tears fell down. She hadn't seen so much silver in two or three years.

Nuanqing Pavilion's debt has been paid off, and I can go to find Qiao Shusheng at any time, but now I have no money to surrender to him, and I will definitely be looked down upon. I heard from the vendor with a birthmark that this time it is a big business, and I should be able to get a commission of hundreds of taels of silver. After this business, I will definitely take the silver to visit Qiao Shusheng. If he is willing to accept himself, he will wash away all his dew and take care of his husband and children and live a peaceful life. If Qiao Shusheng has already married and had children, he will take the money to find a place to settle down, buy land, buy a house, and adopt a child, and spend the rest of his life quietly.

With a longing, he stepped into the pulp and wash shop, and said a few words to the sisters who also came to pick up the job in the store. Yun Niang picked up the curtain and went into the backyard to find Manager Qian. He took out the sealed letter from the customer from his arms and handed it to Manager Qian. Yun Niang leaned against Manager Qian, squeezed Manager Qian's arm with the lust on her chest, and said softly: "Brother Qian, this is a big business, and I can't lose my commission."

Manager Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yun Niang, your commission is not missing yours. It's rare for you to come here and leave after lunch."

Yun Niang spat at him, knowing the meaning of leaving after lunch, but she was determined not to obey her commission, but she had to rely on Fatty Qian to give her commission. She couldn't help but be in the world. She lamented in her heart, Yun Niang sat on the chair, threw the basket at her feet, stretched her body and smiled: "Brother Qian, I don't know if you can feed me, I've been hungry for a while."

"Don't worry, I'll feed you, a slut." Manager Qian cut Yun Niang a few times, smiled and tore open the envelope, and read the letter in the bright spot in front of the window. Yun Niang saw Fatty Qian's smile froze, and her hand shook with the letter a few times. It seemed that the vendor was not lying, and the business was really not small.

Fatty Qian read the letter twice, stuffed it back into the envelope, and asked Yun Niang, "Where is that guest?"

"I'm waiting for a reply at Junyue Inn in the south of the city." Yun Niang replied. The rules of this industry will pay a deposit for reply within seven days of life. If you don't reply for seven days, you won't accept the business.

Fatty Qian didn't want to have fun and said, "Yun Niang, this business is not small. If you can make a lot of commission, you can go back and listen to it first. I will send someone to tell you if there is any news."

Yun Niang returned with a basket of clothes

In Nuanqing Pavilion, Fatty Qian took a ox cart out of the west city gate. The ox cart entered a farm fifteen miles away. Half an hour later, several carrier pigeons rose into the air and spread their wings and flew south.

At the end of the next day, at a farm in the north of Changwan County, at the junction of Huangzhou and Suzhou, the pigeons fell down and stopped in the pigeon loft in the backyard. The kung fu was not very good. An old man in black came over with his legs limp and took the notes from the legs of the pigeon and brought the notes to the backyard. There was a flat empty field in the backyard, and several men were dancing with fists and legs. There was a big locust tree next to the empty field, with tables and chairs under the tree. A white-haired old man was holding a purple clay pot while drinking tea while guiding the men to practice martial arts.

"Brother Sun, the carrier pigeon brings a business." The lame old man handed the note to the white-haired old man. The white-haired old man pointed to the recliner next to him and signaled the lame old man to sit, and expanded the note to watch it himself.

"Oh, it's a big business, with a deposit of ten thousand taels, and ten thousand taels afterwards." The old man named Sun put the note on the table and said, "It's been a long time since my Tianxing Sect took on such a big job."

The lame old man stroked his knees and said, "The A-level business has not been opened this year. My Tianxing Sect is on the decline. The work has been stolen by the bunnies from Xingyue Pavilion."

Tianxing Sect was originally the largest sect in the Wei Dynasty. After the fall of Wei, the Zheng Dynasty was suppressed and turned into an underground business and started assassination. Many civil and military officials of the Zheng Dynasty were killed by Tianxing Sect assassination. The most famous assassination was that the Taiwei Zhu Shujun was assassinated by Tianxing Sect on his way to the Annan Protectorate Mansion eighty years ago, which made the emperor Li furious and issued an order to chase the Tianxing Sect's people with all their strength. The Tianxing Sect's people suffered serious losses and were forced to stop. Xingyue Pavilion took advantage of the situation and became a new generation of assassination sect, which was among the top ten sects with Tianxing Sect.

After the establishment of the Dragon Guard, while chasing the Nayuan Tian Sect, it did not give up the arrest of the Tianxing Sect. The Tianxing Sect showed a decline and its business gradually became worse than that of Xingyue Pavilion. Tianxing Sect has branches in many states, but this inconspicuous farm is where the Tianxing Sect is located. The business of Tianxing Sect is divided into four levels, A, more than 10,000 taels and B, and these two types of businesses need to be asked to be instructed to the sect to make the decision. As for the local branches of C (1,000 taels) and D (500 taels) you can decide by yourself.

The old man surnamed Sun glared at the lame old man, pushed the note to him, and cursed: "Junior Brother Zhou, don't say anything discouraged. As long as you do this business, my Tianxing Sect will definitely overtake Xingyue Pavilion."

The old man surnamed Zhou touched his knees and didn't look at the notes, and asked, "What big business will fall on my Tianxing Sect. I guess the money is not easy to get." The old man surnamed Sun is Sun Yuewu, the sect leader of Tianxing Sect, and the old man surnamed Zhou is his junior brother Zhou Yaoming, and those martial arts men are their disciples.

Sun Yuewu rolled his white beard and said, "Tianxing Sect has always used his life to earn money. Naturally, a business of A must be filled with human lives. My reputation in Tianxing Sect is sunset, and there are fewer and fewer disciples. This business must be completed no matter what."

Zhou Yaoming picked up the note and glanced at it, exclaiming: "Assassinate Jiang Anyi. Senior brother, Jiang Anyi is the Qingtian envoy of the court. He is now heading to Jiangzhou with King Luo Huai. Half a month ago, news came from Beijing that Jiang Anyi injured Hua Shengwei, who was rumored to be the "No. 1 Martial Artsman" by the people in the Jianghu. If he killed such a person, I am afraid that what happened eighty years ago would happen again, and my Tianxing Sect would really have no chance to make a comeback."

Sun Yuewu sighed: "I also use you to tell me about the great relationship. Someone found me in this business just to make my Tianxing Sect straitor. I don't know who Jiang Anyi offended, Fenglei Sect, Luoyi Sect, or those big figures behind the official fields. Alas, the world is troublesome."

"Senior brother, why don't we transfer this business to Xingyue Pavilion?" Zhou Yaoming smiled and said, "Let these bastards taste the taste of the past."

Sun Yuewu smiled and said, "Junior brother, your method is good. We brothers and sisters chat while drinking."

"Jiangzhou is located in Zhengzhou, with a larger area than Dezhou. It is a famous fish and rice town.

, a rich place with beautiful scenery and rich products, rich in rice, lotus roots, freshwater fish. The top ten famous tea-red cloud fragrance comes from Xialing, Jiangzhou, and the green kiln, one of the eight famous kilns, is also in Jiangzhou."

After riding a horse for a few days, Shi Chongren changed into a carriage. After being excited, the long journey made the young man feel exhausted. He faded his mind to find the secluded and visit the victory. He leaned against the car window and listened to Zhuang Songwei who was next to him introducing the local style to him.

"There are thirty miles ahead of you. The capital of Jiangzhou is Xiangning Prefecture. The governor Hong Zhenyang was the Tanhualang in the first year of Fengle. He started as the governor of Jiangzhou in the second year of Jianwu." Zhuang Songwei said: "Jiangzhou has outstanding people and talent, and one of them must be mentioned."

Shi Chongren smiled and said, "Xiao Wang knows that the sir is talking about Han Taibao." Han Boxiong, the prime minister of Emperor Zhao, wrote "And the Questions of Books and Classics and History", "Miscellaneous Comments on Classics and History" and "Complete Works of Han Wen Zhenggong" compiled by later generations are books that scholars like to read.

Jiang Anyi rode his horse by the carriage and asked after hearing this: "Mr. Zhuang, Jiang knew that Han Taibao was from Yulan County, Jiangzhou. He didn't know that Yulan County was not far from Xiangning Prefecture. If it was close, I would like to go and worship him." As both Buddhist guardians, Jiang Anyi felt that he had a connection with Han Taibao. Later, he read the words of Han Wenzheng Gong and said, and felt deeply the same. Since he came to Jiangzhou Li to worship this senior.

During this period, Zhuang Songwei knew that Jiang Anyi was humble and had no airs. At night, Jiang Anyi learned to talk to him. The two made friends with chess on the chessboard and got along very happily. Zhuang Songwei once visited the Han family and knew that Han Taibao's descendants lived in Hanjiazhuang, Yulan County. He smiled and said, "Yulan County is fifty miles west of Xiangning Prefecture, and Han Taibao's grandchildren live in Hanjiazhuang, Yulan County. They can go back and forth in one day from Xiangning Prefecture."

Shi Chongren also said: "Xiao Wang has admired Han Wenzheng for a long time. If Lord Jiang goes to worship, remember to call Xiao Wang."

A ten-mile long pavilion was built in the north of Xiangyang City. Jiangzhou Governor Hong Zhenyang brought a large group of people from the government office to welcome King Luohuai and the Qingtian Department envoy Jiang Anyi and his party. A fast horse rushed over. The famous servant rushed to the Changting Pavilion, stood his foot outside the pavilion, and bowed and replied loudly: "Report to the Governor, King Luohuai's carriage is ten miles away."

Hong Zhenyang stood up and tidyed up his clothes to go out to greet him. The Changshi Liu Changfeng, who was sitting beside him, put down his teacup and said, "Sir, we just need to greet him at the city gate. You are so kind that you are welcomed. You are ten miles away. The prince's car has ten miles left, and it is probably still a quarter of an hour before he arrives. The sun is fierce outside. You might as well sit and wait first. It is not too late to wait until the prince's car has left these two miles before we greet him."

Hong Zhenyang smiled slightly and said, "It's not a big deal that many people are polite, let alone King Luo Huai is the prince. No matter how respectful I am, I should be. Changfeng, say a few words, it's not good to spread it."

Liu Changfeng stood up helplessly and said, "Brother Hong, I really admire this cautious and cautious person. If I had known this, I would have let "Xu Ma Face" accompany you to bask in the sun. I was too soft-hearted, and your brother would follow you happily as soon as you said this. Alas, you were not careful in making friends."

"Xu Ma Face" was the nickname Liu Changfeng won the Jiangzhou Bijia Xu Guoxiang. Liu Changfeng had a close relationship with Hong Zhenyang, but he was like water and fire with Xu Bijia. He always had to say a few words in front of Hong Zhenyang when he found an opportunity.

Hong Zhenyang smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, I complain too much to prevent my heartbreak. I will invite you to drink another day."

"Take it seriously, I have to take out the jar of bright moon fragrance hidden in Brother Hong's home." When talking about drinking, Liu Changfeng was excited and followed Hong Zhenyang out of the Changting. He didn't care about the heat outside the pavilion and said with an excited look on his face.

At the end of the official road, you can see a long convoy. When you explore the horse and report that the carriage of Luohuai is approaching, Hong Zhenyang ordered: "Go on the blow and beat him, welcome to King Luohuai and Lord Qingtianshi Envoy Jiang."

The drums and music are noisy, and a bustle is coming to Xiangning Mansion.
