The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 115 West Lake Boat Lady (Part [-])
June 25.The imperial envoy drove to Hangzhou.

Chang Feng suggested to everyone: "Youdao means that the beautiful scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou is unparalleled in the world, and the exotic flowers and grasses on the shore of West Lake are fragrant all the year round."

"It's hard for us to take a trip to Beijing. Now that the errands are done, it's better to stay in Hangzhou for ten and a half months. Enjoy and enjoy."

Everyone looked at each other.

Chang Feng said with a smile: "President Yang likes to recite poems and make opponents. Hangzhou is the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty. You can learn more from the masters of poetry."

"Eunuch Li likes to make friends. I think the local gentry will rush to make friends with gifts."

"You two little uncles, play all the fun things in Hangzhou and eat all the delicious things."

"As for Xu Shizi and I. Haha, the West Lake Chuanniang is one of the four major schools of flower industry in the Ming Dynasty. How can we not experience it when we arrive in Hangzhou?"

Li Guang said in a dark voice: "Chang Qianhu. You don't think you want to stay in Hangzhou for a few more days, what are you doing? I advise you not to make extra troubles!"

Chang Feng half-jokingly said: "How can I do it! I listen to people's advice to eat enough. How can I not know what is good and what is bad."

"Eunuch Li doesn't know that Zhuo Jing is a real tigress. When I'm in the capital, if I look at a beautiful woman more often, she will punch me hard."

"It's so easy to get out of Beijing. How can I not indulge myself?"

Chang Feng's reasons are reasonable.Traveling from Beijing to Hangzhou on a business trip may not happen once or twice in a lifetime.

Have fun here, and there is nothing wrong with delaying returning to Beijing for more than ten days.Anyway, the errands of worshiping Mazu have been completed.

Li Guang agreed: "Okay. It's a pity that I get seasick. When you go to the West Lake to play boat girls, remember to send me a few ashore, so that I can experience it."

Eunuchs also like women.It is also very good to have a hand addiction.

At night, Chang Feng and Fatty Xu went to West Lake and chartered a flower boat.

Playing boat girls on the West Lake is the great joy of Jiangnan dignitaries, powerful gentry, literati, and wealthy businessmen.

Since the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there have been "beautiful boat girls" on the West Lake.

Tang Dynasty poets Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi, and Song Dynasty poet Qin Guan were frequent guests on the flower boat.

Qin Guan has a saying: "West Lake is so slippery and beautiful."

Water and slippery, do not necessarily refer to the West Lake, it may be the woman on the flower boat.

Chang Feng had never been on a flower boat before, so he thought the flower boat was a small boat.He was also curious, if it was raining in a small boat, wouldn't he be afraid that the boat would capsize and drown in the West Lake?
I got a flower boat on the wind, I saw that the flower boat was divided into upper and lower layers, and it was astonishingly big.

Accompanying the two of them to visit the flower boat was a hundred households stationed in Hangzhou by Jin Yiwei, surnamed Liu.

Chang Feng was surprised: "Liu Baihu, this flower boat is really huge."

Liu Baihu said a few words, which made Chang Feng gain insight: "Master Chang, this flower boat was converted from a warship!"

"Grandpa Taizu killed Chen Youliang by relying on the bravery of the navy of the West Wu Palace during the battle at Poyang Lake."

"More than 100 years have passed. The warships that participated in the Battle of Poyang Lake are all old. The Navy sold these warships to merchants."

"The merchants resold it to boat prostitutes."

After speaking, Liu Baihu pointed to a pillar on the porch of the front cabin.

A few lines of words are engraved on the pillar: "The third-class building ship, built by the Ministry of Industry of the West Wu Wangfu in the first year of the Dragon and Phoenix. It is attached to the Commander of the Neihu Navy and the Yizi Camp of Liao Yongzhong, Zuo Cheng of Huguang Province".

Longfeng is the year name of Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er.At that time, Grandpa Taizu had not yet proclaimed himself emperor, and he was nominally a courtier of King Xiaoming.

And Liao Yongzhong was the person in charge of drowning King Xiaoming.

Chang Feng and Fatty Xu were amazed after seeing it.

Fatty Xu said: "My ancestor King Zhongshan also participated in the battle of Poyang Lake. Maybe he commanded thousands of troops on this large ship back then!"

"Today I revisit the hometown of my ancestors!"

Chang Feng sighed: "Oh. This is really 120 years, and only warships are used as flower boats."

Fatty Xu smiled wretchedly: "Cough. The battle on the bed is as dangerous as the battlefield. Today the three of us have to fight those slippery little girls."

Liu Baihu laughed and said, "Your Majesty is thinking too much. The West Lake Boat Lady is not a lean horse from Yangzhou. No blood can be seen! It is true that the seven armies were flooded."

The three boarded the upstairs boat.The captain's wife called five daughters to accompany her.

The division of labor in the two floors of the ship building is different.The lower floor is used for meeting guests, banquets, listening to music and enjoying dances.

The upper floor is the place where the guests and the bed lady fight fiercely.

The three of Chang Feng hugged the delicate Chuanniang on the lower floor, drinking wine and listening to the music.Very uncomfortable.

Chang Feng suddenly complained to Liu Baihu: "Ma Youlu from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is really ignorant!"

Liu Baihu has been in Hangzhou for eight years by the Jinyiwei Sect.He has long been called brothers and sisters with the local gentry.He and Ma Youlu are very familiar and have a close relationship.

Liu Baihu tentatively asked, "Did the head of the Horse Club offend Master Chang?"

Chang Feng took a sip of his wine, put his arms around the boat lady's slender waist and said, "I can't talk about offending him. That person gave me money a month ago, so I drove him away."

Liu Baihu quickly flattered: "Our Lord Chang is selfless and upright. The leader of the horse club is really out of tune, thinking that he can make friends with Lord Chang with a few pieces of money."

Chang Feng interrupted Liu Baihu with an anxious expression on his face: "Hey, who doesn't like Yinzi!"

"The question is where to send and where to receive!"

"Last time, he gave me money in the palace of the imperial envoy in a blatant manner. There are so many school lieutenants and powerful fighters accompanying him in the palace. There are also officials from the local marquis. There are so many people."

"No matter how much I like his money, I dare not accept it!"

Fatty Xu was listening to Chang Feng's words, a little strange: What's wrong with Master Chang?Listening to the voice, it seemed that Ma Youlu was going to be beaten.

Chang Feng changed the subject: "Liu Baihu, in fact, I'm the best person to make friends. Especially friends in the business field."

"Our official salary is only a few silver. It's better to do business quickly."

"Today, the moon is as bright as a mirror, and the West Lake is picturesque. It is a good time to make friends and make a fortune. Why don't you ask Ma Youlu to meet me on the flower boat."

Liu Baihu understood: "Come on! I'll go find Ma Youlu right away and ask him to bring money to the flower boat."

Chang Feng didn't say a word, which was his acquiescence.

Liu Baihu walked to the door.

Chang Feng shouted at him: "Remember to ask him to bring Master Xu's share too!"

Liu Baihu smiled and said, "Decree!"

Chang Feng was drinking, while Fatty Xu was stroking Mei Chuanniang's buttocks, killing time.Half an hour later, Ma Youlu, the head of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce and the head of the Hangzhou branch of the Four Seas Association, came to the flower boat.

He brought eight strong men and carried two large wooden boxes onto the flower boat.

For an imperial envoy like Chang Feng who went out of Beijing, when he saw a businessman, he would naturally grumble, look indifferent, and put on airs.

Ma Youlu saluted Chang Feng and Fatty Xu.Then he said: "Both superiors. Do you want the girls to go to the upper cabin first?"

Chang Feng nodded slightly.

Five bubbly boat girls go to the upper deck.Only Chang, Xu, Ma, and Liu were left in the lower cabin.

Only then did Ma Youlu open the two wooden boxes.The wooden box is full of white silver ingots.

Ma Youlu cupped his hands: "Last time, the students couldn't do things. They shouldn't be on the imperial envoy Xingyuan Xiaojing."

"It's really hard for you two to go on the boat. These two boxes of Cheng Yi, one box of 2000 taels are for Chang Qianhu, and the other box of 1000 taels is for Deputy Xu Qianhu."

When Chang Feng saw Yinzi, his indifferent expression just now disappeared.A smile bloomed on his face: "Haha, I have always regarded the head of the Jockey Club as a half-brother."

"Since you are your own brother, why are you so polite?"
