Sucheng is located in the prosperous south of the Yangtze River. It has been the commercial center of all dynasties since ancient times.
"Wealthy" sons and "talented" sons have always loved the embrace of soft jade and warm beauty, holding wine in one hand and soft and boneless beautiful hands in the other, reciting poems in pairs, singing and dancing to promote peace, is the true love. of heaven and earth.
Recently, there was an incident that was widely circulated in the streets and alleys of Sioux City. People who talked about it were beaming with joy, as if they had seen it with their own eyes:
"Did you know that Xie's family also received that mysterious invitation letter. On August [-]th, there is an appointment at Nanhu Lake in Sucheng."
"South Lake? Is it the big lake in the south?"
"You idiot, which South Lake is there in Sioux City!"
"But isn't that said to be the cave of the fox fairy? How could anyone dare to go..."
"You know what! Don't you know who the Xie family is? There is a poem about... the old king Xietangqianyan... the word "Xie" here refers to their ancestors!"
"Could it be that the word "king" refers to the Wang family in Sucheng?"
"That's right! In addition to the Cui family, Lu family, Li family, Zheng family, Cao family, Chen family, Sun family, and Zhu family, the top ten rich families all received this mysterious letter!"
"The Zhu family? Is it the Zhu family, the "living god of wealth" who is the richest in the world?"
"Nonsense! And that Zhu family! The Zhu family's property stores are everywhere, and the bank accounts are spread all over the place. It would be strange if there is no other family!"
"Then what is written in this letter?"
"I'm just telling you, don't spread it... I was a housekeeper in Zhu's house when I was a child. He caught a glimpse of it by accident and only saw four short sentences: August fifteenth, Xushi three Engraved, Sucheng Nanhu, meeting with you. Inscribed: Ecstasy Palace Master, Yours sincerely. There is a row of small characters below, he didn't read clearly."
"Who is this Palace Master of Ecstasy? Could it be...that fox fairy?"
"You ask me, how do I know! If the letter is for me, even if I don't want this life, I still have to take a look."
"You are a poor boy, so naturally you speak lightly. The people who received the letter are all wealthy, so how could they take such a risk to go to such a place?"
"You don't understand this! These people have never seen anything, eaten anything, or played anything? When a person already has everything, life becomes very boring, as if there is no For something worth trying, he always hopes to find some surprises and excitement.”
"Look at what you say, as if you are a rich man."
"Don't you believe it! I heard that Zhu's family has confirmed that they will go. Although the remaining few families have not made it clear, they have basically acquiesced."
"Let me just say that, I really want to go and have a look, so I won't live this life in vain."
"You can wait until you are reincarnated as a rich man in your next life!"
Standing behind the tree, I heard these two people walking farther and farther noisily, I couldn't help smiling and said to the people beside me: "Ye Qishi, isn't one of them also yours?"
"Exactly." Ye Ying said with a slight smile: "Master, each family had concerns at first, but since the Zhu family took the lead in expressing their views, others have relaxed their mouths one after another."
I nodded: "I will also thank the shopkeeper of the Zhu family for helping me deal with it later."
"Palace Master," Ye Ying continued, "Many people on the black market are already asking where the invitation letter came from, hoping to buy it at a high price."
"It's not surprising." I smiled triumphantly: "After our campaign in the past few months, the island in the center of Nanhu Lake is now well known, and it has whetted everyone's appetite. This time we only sent out ten invitations , only invited the top ten richest people, this invitation has become a status symbol, naturally everyone flocks to it."
Ye Ying was a little worried: "But Palace Master, although we have been laying the groundwork for several months and the momentum has been very successful, but... what if someone doesn't come?"
"Not afraid." I smiled mysteriously: "I have already sprinkled some colorless, odorless and harmless medicinal powder on the invitation letter, which can make people's minds flutter instantly, and they are easily affected by external things. Enough appetite, enough gimmicks, as long as a person has curiosity, as long as he has curiosity, he will not be afraid that he will not be tempted by the various means we set up."
Ye Ying's expression brightened: "The master's grasp of people's hearts is the pinnacle."
I smiled wryly and shook my head: "The most difficult thing to figure out in this world is the human heart, otherwise Rapture Palace would not have ended up like that."
Ye Ying looked gloomy and bowed his head in silence.
"It's not your fault." Ah Fei's voice sounded.
I looked back at him, and saw that he frowned lightly, and there was a faint anger on his resolute and thin face, as if he was angry with someone, and he repeated: "It's not your fault, you don't have to carry this burden all the time." on the shoulders."
"A Fei, I am willing." I looked at him and said with a faint smile, "I am willing to bear this burden every day until the day when the vengeance of the Ecstasy Palace is avenged."
He stared at me, pursed his lips into a straight line, and said for a while, "Okay, I'll be with you."
"Aren't you going to go out to roam the rivers and lakes and become famous?" I covered my mouth and laughed teasingly, "How can you always guard me?"
"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." He said slowly: "The rivers and lakes are not outside, but in people's hearts."
"The young man said it well!" Ye Ying showed a look of approval: "What a world is in people's hearts! I, Ye, have been walking in the world for decades, and today I really understand the meaning of the world."
I looked into the distance and said to myself, "Jianghu, here I come."
August [-]th, Sioux City.
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, there are lanterns and festoons everywhere, shoulders rubbing shoulders in the streets, and every family will meet up after a reunion dinner at home to enjoy the moon, go shopping, drink and chat, and recite poems.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival in Sioux City is very different.
After dinner early, people came to the shore of Nanhu Lake in groups of three or four. They seemed to be admiring the moon, but they all seemed to be waiting for something. Unknowingly, more and more people came to the bank of the South Lake. They have already surrounded several floors, but they dare not approach the lake, and only look around a few feet away from the shore.
"Look at the lake!" Someone in the crowd suddenly called out.
Everyone looked at the lake together, and saw a painting boat quietly coming out from the back of the island in the middle of the lake. The hull of the boat was made into the shape of a phoenix flying, and the whole body was vermilion. The wings at the stern were painted with golden ripples. , Under the bright moonlight, it seems to be reborn from the ashes.
The crowd held their breath and watched the lake nervously. The lake water slapped the shore in the night wind, sending waves of warm and humid air.
After a while, the painting boat docked on the shore, and the vermilion wooden door with hollow decorations suddenly opened automatically, and a sharp-eyed person whispered to the people next to him: "There is no one inside..." The voice trembled slightly.
A low exclamation sounded from the crowd, and they took a few steps back involuntarily.
At this moment, the sound of hurried horseshoes and wheels rolling on the bluestone slabs could be heard not far away. "Master Zhu is here!" A resounding voice sounded, and the crowd gave way consciously, only to see a tall horse with a pure white body and no mottled color pulling a resplendent and resplendent carriage, passing through the brightly lit street, Come straight to the lake.
In a blink of an eye, the carriage had come to a stop by the lake, and a wealthy young man wearing a pale golden robe came out. He was less than thirty years old, with fair skin, thin eyebrows and pale eyes, thin lips slightly raised, and a face full of smiles. The Buddha statue, however, cannot hide the shrewd and wise radiance in his eyes.
I stood in the dark compartment next to the doorpost of the painting boat, and while observing the situation outside, I whispered to A Fei: "This young master of the Zhu family is a smart hearted man at first glance. No wonder the head of the Zhu family spends half of his business Let this son take care of it."
Ah Fei stood behind me without saying a word. He breathed warmly on the top of my head lightly, and a tingling feeling gradually rose from the soles of his feet.I suddenly felt a little stuffy in the boat.
"Share the joy of bliss with you; enter this door, and reach the sky in one step." I made my voice charming and melodious, ethereal and elongated, and I used my internal strength to slowly send out these few words, ensuring that everyone on the shore can hear: " Mr. Zhu is indeed on time, please come in!"
The eldest son of the Zhu family smiled slightly, motioned the left and right attendants to stay, and then slowly walked onto the boat.The moment he crossed the threshold, the clear and melodious sound of Guqin sounded in the painting boat, and the lingering sound lingered in his ears endlessly.
I secretly praised Ye Ying's ingenious sound transmission channel.He made the space under the deck of the painting boat high enough to accommodate one person sitting in it and playing the piano, and hollowed out the four pillars in the painting boat to connect them with the cabin below.If you stand in the painting boat and look at it, you will only feel that the four carved beams and painted pillars are quite beautiful, but you don’t know that the carved patterns are wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. In fact, they also have the effect of amplifying the sound, which is comparable to the surround sound in modern society.
The eldest son of the Zhu family paused slightly when he heard the sound, and then he returned to normal. With a perfect smile on his face, he walked into the boat and found a place to sit down. There was a pot of tea and a few plates of seasonal snacks on the table. The cigarette smoke rising from the incense burner is lingering like the sound of a piano.
From time to time, there were a few exclamations from the crowd on the shore, and the countless eyes staring at the painting boat were full of envy.
The sound of horseshoes and ruts sounded in the distance, and the crowd dispersed unconsciously. A few luxurious carriages with different shapes were seen galloping towards the lake from different directions:
"Thank you, master, for coming!"
"Young Master Wang is here!"
"Master Cui is here!"
"Master Chen is here!"
……
Amidst the surprise and praise of the crowd, the ten top rich men finally appeared on the stage one by one.
As the rich people boarded the boat one after another, the sound of the piano became more and more passionate, bringing the emotions of the people on the shore to peaks one after another, until the last rich man boarded the boat, the emotions of the people on the shore finally reached the final climax.The vermilion gate of the painting boat was slowly closed amidst cheers like a tide like the sea, shutting out all the bustle, noise, envy and jealousy.
At three o'clock in the morning, the boat set sail on time, like a phoenix on fire, sailing towards the island in the middle of the lake.
"Wealthy" sons and "talented" sons have always loved the embrace of soft jade and warm beauty, holding wine in one hand and soft and boneless beautiful hands in the other, reciting poems in pairs, singing and dancing to promote peace, is the true love. of heaven and earth.
