Chapter 101: The twelfth moon in the world
"The second young master fell heavily that day and fainted at that time. Later, he invited Dr. Jin, the most famous doctor in Hangzhou City, to come. Dr. Jin diagnosed that my second young master had no big problems, but when the second young master woke up, he couldn't remember many things. It took two or three days to recover."
"Since my young master recovered, he seemed to have become a different person. He has become smart and knows that he has studied hard. The second young master said it was a blessing from the Taoist ancestor. I think it is really possible, otherwise how could the second young master change so much?"
Zheng Da looked carefully at the threshold steps at the second gate for a long time. He made up his mind for a long time and finally gave up.
Qin Guan lost his memory when he hit his head and recovered. If he hit his head, he still didn't know if he could recover. If he really hit him stupidly, then his life would be over.
When he walked into Qin Guan's room, Zheng Da saw the half-collapsed book on Qin Guan's desk and sighed: "Brother Shaoyou, you never worked hard before, but now you have become a daily study behind closed doors, and you are so spiritual when writing poetry and lyrics. It seems that I have never had the chance to catch up."
"When I entered the door, I really wanted to fall at your door, and I hope I can also get a smart head."
Qin Guan smiled: "If you can become smarter by hitting it, then half of the scholars in the Great Zhao Kingdom will hit their heads."
"I'm afraid it's 99%." Zheng Da said.
"But I can't copy this, the bigger thing is to make people stupid." Qin Guan jokingly said.
Zheng Da showed a helpless expression: "So I mustered up the courage for a long time just now, but in the end I didn't dare to hit him."
Zheng Da just sighed, and then changed to a laughing expression, "If you don't talk about this, I'm here to find Brother Shaoyou today to ask you to go out for a trip. There is a courtesan competition on West Lake today. It is said that Hangzhou Sanyan will also be there. How can you miss the prosperous era of admiring the beautiful beauty of all the flowers like this?"
Qin Guan has visited the Courtesan Competition before, and it is held every two years. The top three courtesans in the previous session are the current Hangzhou Sanyan, namely Meng Xiangjun, Chu Qianqian and Ling Yiren.
Meng Xiangjun is known for his poetry and is most sought after by talented literati. Whenever there is a poetry meeting, he is proud to be able to invite Meng Xiangjun. Chu Qianqian is the most famous dancer in Hangzhou by dancing. Ling Yiren is good at singing music in the Yaoqin and playing a good flute.
Of course, the most important thing is that these three girls are all stunning, otherwise no matter how talented they are, no man will choose them as courtesans.
Who said men are all sex animals?
Qin Guan has been studying and practicing swords these days, so it’s okay to relax. He immediately agreed and called Erbao and Xiong Da. It was still early, so Qin Guan and Zheng Da walked slowly to the West Lake with Zheng Da.
While walking through a small stone street, I suddenly heard a noise in front of me.
From a distance, I saw a group of people surrounding me, pointing at a small restaurant. In the restaurant, there were a group of guys wearing green coats, headbands tied on their heads and short knives on their waists, swearing something out.
"It's so terrible."
The wine jar, plate, table, chair, bench was thrown all over the floor. A guy with a fleshy face was sitting on the bar railing, snatching his feet with one hand, looking at the crowd around him, and said arrogantly: "What are you looking at? Master Li Si of the south of the city is doing business, and those who don't want to cause trouble will get out of the way."
The guy roared and immediately scared half of the onlookers away, while the other half of the other was hiding in the distance to watch.
In a corner of the restaurant, a woman in her mourning clothes was standing in the corner with tears on her pretty face. She hugged a little girl who was only seven or eight years old. The little girl was so scared that she cried, but she didn't dare to make a loud noise.
The gangsters were still yelling and smashing things. Li Si walked to the woman in the mourning clothes with a wicked smile on his face. The woman was so scared that she hugged the little girl and shrank into the corner again, her face full of horror.
Li Si grinned and showed a few leaves on his teeth, "Lu Xiaoniang, your father borrowed 60 yuan of usury loans. Now that your father is dead, you will naturally repay the money."
He looked up and glanced at the restaurant and said, "Your dilapidated restaurant is not worth 30 yuan in total. Okay, Fourth Master, I am very kind, I will count it as 30 yuan for you, but there are still 30 yuan. With the interest, I owe us 50 yuan. How do you plan to pay back the money?"
The woman looked anxious and gestured to Li Si with her hands.
Seeing her sister's anxious look, the little girl mustered up the courage to say in a childish voice: "My sister said, we have no money. My father used the restaurant as a mortgage when he borrowed money. You can just take it away."
When the little girl spoke, tears couldn't help but drip down.
Li Si smiled evilly, "There is no such cheap thing in the world. I lent your father money for friendship. But your father died and friendship is gone. Besides, there is still interest. That is a few hundred coins of interest. Don't you have to pay back the money?"
The girl in mourning clothes gestured again excitedly.
Li Si waved his hand impatiently, "Don't tell me, it's natural to pay back the money if you owe debts. Since you can't pay back the money, don't blame us for being rude."
He pointed to the restaurant and said, "From today on, this restaurant is no longer named Lu, and you guys, I will find a good family for you two, hoho hoho hoho." As he said this, Li Si laughed a few evil laughs, and his eyes looked at the woman in filial clothes full of lewdness.
Lu Xiaoniang was so scared that her face turned pale and she hugged her sister tightly.
The crowd in the distance looked at everything that was born in the tavern, and many people were talking about it.
"What a good woman, Rong Niang, is so beautiful. Unfortunately, she got sick when she was young, and her throat was burned and turned into a mute. Otherwise, she would have found a good family to marry her." A woman said.
Another woman sighed: "In recent years, Rong Niang helped his father Lu Laoqi run a tavern and learned good cooking skills. She is also famous in the south of our city."
An old man said, "If Lu Laoqi hadn't been too determined and wanted to expand the restaurant, how could he borrow usury and let the people from the Chengnan Gang target him? Alas, Lu Laoqi is dead, but the second half of his life of the two girls in the Lu family was ruined."
A young man next to him said unangrily: "Lu Laoqi obviously fell into the trap of a liar, maybe there is something about the Chengnan Gang here."
The old man quickly pulled him, "Be careful, don't cause disaster for yourself."
Qin Guan stood behind these people and heard their conversation clearly. Suddenly, a little girl cried in front of him. Qin Guan saw a little girl with a six or seven-year-old girl walking out of the tavern under her armpit. Two other scoundrels, one of whom pulled one hand and dragged the woman in mourning clothes out desperately.
At a breakfast stall next to him, a man in his thirties couldn't see him. He picked up the rolling pin next to him and rushed over, but a woman hugged her waist from behind. The woman said in a pleading tone: "The head of the family can't go. If you offend the Chengnan Gang, our family can't survive."
"Brother Lu has a good relationship with me. Rong Niang and You Niang were arrested by them. They would have to be sold to those dirty places. This life would be over." The man said gritting his teeth.
The woman cried bitterly, "They are many and powerful, and they have sharp swords in their hands. Even if you go over, you can't beat them. Besides, they have contacts with those yamen servants. If you are broken, how can we three live? The head of the family, please."
