Chapter 115 Touring the Flower Boat (Part 1)

"Related to Japanese pirates?" Qiao Songyu almost screamed, then frowned, "What do you mean? Meng Jiushen and Fang Lun had an affair with Japanese pirates?"

"Otherwise?" Pei Rongbai said, "Taking such a big risk to kill us is naturally driven by huge interests."

Qiao Songyu stopped talking, thinking that these two people are really daring, as the imperial court officials, they dare to do such evil things like Ling Chi, they are even more treacherous than Pei Rongbai, a treacherous official!

Pei Rongbai hugged Qiao Songyu, and quickly flew to the port. The two of them landed at the entrance of a small alley. Pei Rongbai pretended to be out of breath and said: "Songer, you seem to be fat, and my hands are sore from hugging..."

Qiao Songyu immediately became angry from embarrassment: "Why am I getting fat? It's obviously because of your lack of physical strength! You must have boasted and said it's okay, but now you blame me for being fat! You are the only one who is fat, and your whole family is fat!"

Pei Rongbai chuckled softly: "I'm joking with you, don't get excited."

Qiao Songyu was about to say something, but Pei Rongbai covered his mouth suddenly, he immediately closed his mouth and held his breath, then he heard voices coming from somewhere in the relatively quiet alley:

"Brother, can you not do that today? I'm very tired, hehe, I want to drink flower wine!"

"Drink and drink, you know how to drink! If you have business, you are a fool!"

"Those people bring things down from the flower boat every day, and the things are dead and heavy, and they don't know what they are..."

"Who cares what it is, if they say you are not allowed to ask, then don't ask, as long as you pay more money, a few taels of silver for a trip, where do you go to find such a good deal?"

The voices of the two men's voices were getting closer, Pei Rongbai hurriedly carried Qiao Songyu into another alley.

The two of them saw two muscular men, dressed clearly like porters. One of them was carrying a lantern, and they walked out of the alley to the port together.

Qiao Songyu only heard Pei Rongbai whisper in her ear:

"There must be a ghost, let's go and see together."

Qiao Songyu was also curious—the box was very heavy, and she was not allowed to ask what was in it, and the wages were so high, what kind of business was this for?

The two followed lightly, followed the two men out of the alley, turned around a few restaurants, and then walked towards the edge of the port.

I saw two men walking to the edge of the pier and meeting with five or six other strong men, talking and laughing, these people were obviously coolies who moved things, but their clothes didn't look like that at all.Those who make a living by doing coolies are probably very generously paid by their employers.

Pei Rongbai and Qiao Songyu found a stall selling Yangchun noodles on the side of the road opposite the pier, and ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles, pretending to be tourists who came for supper.While pretending to be waiting for noodles, the two stared closely at the person opposite.

Not long after, saw a rather large flower boat slowly sailing into the pier from the sea, and these people walked forward with great enthusiasm, which showed that these people were waiting for this flower boat.

Qiao Songyu and Pei Rongbai looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and were about to turn their heads to look again, when a voice suddenly sounded above their heads:

"Why are you two so interested in eating Yangchun noodles here?"

Qiao Songyu was taken aback, looked up, and saw Mei Zihe smilingly opposite him, Pei Rongbai sat down on the left side, and said while sitting:

"Do you mind sitting next to me?"

Pei Rongbai smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind. Why is Mr. Mei so interested in coming to the port for supper?"

Qiao Songyu was a little annoyed that Mei Zihe came at an untimely time, because when he turned his head again, the group of laborers had long since disappeared.

"I'm a carefree person. I spend my nights in Huajie and Liuxiang. I think the two of you have heard about it from the young master." Mei Zihe's handsome face had an inexplicable smile on his face. Qiao Songyu always felt that this person was unpredictable.Tou, feeling weird, and didn't have a good impression of him in his heart, asked:

"How did Mr. Mei know the two of us? I remember that when we met in Guizhuang, Mr. Mei was drunk. Why, do you recognize people?"

Mei Zihe said with a hearty smile: "Ma'am, you are joking. Although I am drunk, I am still sober."

Qiao Songyu was taken aback for a moment, and then a bit of annoyance appeared on her face: "How do you know I'm his wife?"

"Young Master said it!" Mei Zihe smiled and said with an innocent face, "Are Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai interested in that flower boat? I see that you two have been staring at it...Do you two want to go up and take a look? Mei can find a quiet room for the two of you, pick one or two pleasing singers, and sing, how about it?"

Qiao Songyu naturally wouldn't go to that kind of fireworks place, and was about to refuse flatly, when Pei Rongbai said with a smile on his face:

"It's a great honor for Mr. Mei to invite me. Such an elegant event may as well open the eyes of my wife and I."

Qiao Songyu looked at him with big Diliuyuan eyes, as if accusing him: You shameless apprentice, how dare you go to that kind of place!You dare to do this in front of me, but if you don't back my back, don't call the two girls...

Pei Rongbai looked at him, as if he knew what he was thinking, but deliberately teased him and said: "Ma'am, you are so generous, you probably won't mind if I go to listen to the music?"

Qiao Songyu wanted to put the bowl of steaming hot Yangchun noodles in front of him on his head, and said with a bit of anger in her words: "Okay, let's go, let's go!"

So the two of them boarded the flower boat with Mei Zihe, and the bustard wearing gold and silver on the flower boat was obviously familiar with Mei Zihe, and he smiled when he saw him:

"Yo, Mr. Mei came to see Miss Xing'er again tonight? Oh, these two uncles are Mr. Mei's friends?"

"It's my friend, Mama Lin, you ask someone to arrange a private room for us, call a girl who can sing, and also call Xing'er, and bring her pipa."

"Okay, invite the three of you inside." Bustard smiled and sent the three of them inside.

It was the first time for Qiao Songyu to board a flower boat. Following Mei Zihe and the boys on the flower boat, she walked slowly into the cabin. She couldn't help but sigh how big the boat is, and how magnificently decorated it is. The fine carpets, pearl curtains, and treasuresThe antique vases on the shelf that don’t look like fakes, and the bluish-white glazed lotus incense burner that emits wisps of smoke are all things with a certain price.

It's just that if there are too many of these things, it looks very tacky.

The three of them walked straight in from the hall in the center of the cabin, went up to the second floor, turned to the right, and entered the third room.

Qiao Songyu went in and took a look, and saw a square room inside, slightly smaller than ordinary rooms, with a low table in the middle, four futons on the sides, and a window facing the door.When it is open, you can just see the sea view outside, the sea breeze is blowing, with a little fishy smell, but it is also inexplicably refreshing.

Qiao Songyu thought to herself, this flower boat looks unusual, did Mei Zihe really want to open our eyes?
