Generational Marriage

On the first night of the first month, gambling was all over the city.

Lights and colorful lights are everywhere throughout the capital, pedestrians are like weaving, and there are busy traffic. On both sides of the street, there were temporary casinos everywhere, as small as a fruit, a load of firewood, a piece of cake, and as large as gold, silver and pearls. They were all used for gambling, depending on how much money and courage the guests had in their bags. , Willing to place much bet.

The sound of silk and bamboo from the dance hall and song hall resounded through the sky, and the aroma of wine and coriander in the hotel teahouse affected the stomachs of people who watched gambling and gambling on the street. There is a kind of fragrance that cannot be replaced. A countless number of ladies from the noble family, dressed in new clothes, cleverly dressed, dressed in gold and jade, surrounded by beautiful flowers, guarded by a strong family and a shrewd and prudent maid, strolling leisurely among the crowd, doing whatever they want, watching what interests , Where to stop. When he was happy, he instructed the people around him to also enter the venue to gamble. When he became interested, he went to the hotel and teahouse beside him to rest, eat and drink, how to feel comfortable. Meeting acquaintances is just a smile to say hello, no one laughs at anyone, on the contrary, they praise each other for their beautiful clothes and makeup. They are the most eye-catching scenery on the first moon night. They are watching others, and others are watching them.

This is the capital. A place with strict rules and regulations, but with pride and prosperity everywhere.

At the corner of Panlou’s street, a carriage with a very ordinary appearance was parked. The wind lamp hung on the front of the car exudes a warm light, illuminating the half-exposed face of the car. The young man sat alone in front of the window. The blue scarf, eyebrows and eyes are like ink, and the expression is gentle as jade, which looks like a painting.

"It's Lu Erlang." A luxuriously decorated carriage slowly avoided the crowds and drove towards Panlou Street. Rong Qi's grandmother Zhang's Shanniang saw Lu Yan waiting there from a distance. A smile lightly poked Rong Qi, who closed his eyes and meditation: "Do you think Lu Erlang looks like the person in the painting?"

Rong Qi opened his eyes, looked at it seriously, and said, "It's like it, but it's a little bit worse than me." The maid on the side couldn't help but chuckle, and Rong Qi glared at it seriously: "What are you laughing at? Are you saying that your son, I am not as good-looking as Lu Jia Erlang?" The maid hurriedly lowered her head and whispered, "No one can compare to Qi Ye.

"Nonsense! Open your eyes and talk nonsense. How can I compare to our seven grandma." Rong Qi turned his head to ask Zhang Shanniang with a smile on her face, "Shanniang, don't you think?"

Zhang Shanniang has long been accustomed to seeing her, and said calmly: "You can just blow it up. Anyway, it's so bad that you don't need money."

Rong Qi frowned and said, "I said, Shanniang, why are you not cute? Your husband, if I say incense, you have to say incense, if I say stinky, you have to say stinky. This is the way to be a wife."

Zhang Shanniang smiled slightly: "My husband is right....

While talking, the carriage approached the corner, Rong Qi stopped hurriedly, jumped out of the carriage and greeted Lu Yan: "Minxing!"

Lu Yan replied, jumped out of the car, met with Rong Qi first, and then saluted Zhang Shanniang in the carriage from a distance, and said, "My wife is waiting for the two big drivers in the shop."

"Go first, we'll be there later." Rong Qichao made a gesture behind the carriage and jumped onto Lu Yan's carriage without hesitation. He looked around and smiled and patted Lu Yan's shoulder: "You are You will enjoy the blessing, the outside looks inconspicuous, and the inside is comfortable." Lu Yan smiled slightly: "My wife is inconvenient, always put her first." Rong Qi sat down in a comfortable place and said, "I know. Now, men, you should make more women in small matters." He smiled again: "It's rare that you take the initiative to invite me out and talk about it, what's the fun?" Lu Yan sat up straight and said with a smile: "Nothing He, Naizi ordered the steward in her shop to set up a little flutter game to play around."

Rong Qi's originally lazy shoulders straightened suddenly, and said, "How did you know we wanted to play this?" Everyone has a three-point gambling, let alone such a relaxed time of joy for the whole people? Rong's family rules are strict, but Rong Qi is an old man, and it's no secret that young people like to have fun.

Lu Yan didn't tell him this, but said: "Does Qilang like it too? It was just a fun, if you like it, it's even better."

Rong Qi [excited] was struggling: "I always have my hands and feet in other places, and I have a good life today. Who else did you invite?"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "I am ashamed, because I have invited you, I have never invited people indiscriminately." Rong Qi raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are also too cautious. I am not a picky and arrogant person." "I know, otherwise. I won't invite you either." Lu Yan didn't say much, just led him to the door of the shop. The five red lanterns of the "Lin Ji Bao Commodity Store" hung high above the door of the shop are spinning with the wind, and there is a colorful canopy underneath. Inside, there are some pearls, crown combs, toys, fans, hairpins and silk. People fought around there, laughter and shouts rang out, and there was a lot of noise.

Seeing the carriage arrived, Yao Zhuo came forward and carefully guarded a few people into the backyard. Lin Jinrong was wrapped in a hooded big hairy cloak, and his body was tightly covered, only one face was exposed, and he stood in front of the door with a smile. Waiting, Yu Rong Qi and Zhang Shanniang saw the ceremony, and led them into an exquisite elegant room.

Zhang Shanniang has already listened to Rong Qi's explanation, and she was a little eager to try, but she sighed: "I used to secretly play with Xingniang and Qiongniang in the early years, but it was not such a serious gameplay."

Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "I wanted to invite her together, but I always felt a little presumptuous."

Zhang Shanniang came here with interest: "Don't be afraid, if you are not annoying, I will immediately send someone to call her to come. Qiongniang has been in a bad mood recently, and it happened to be resolved with her."

"A lot of people are fun." Rong Qi is a self-acquaintance, and he is not afraid that Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong think he is troublesome, so he straightforwardly said to Lu Yan: "Minxing, you are too serious and correct. This opportunity, you should find ways to make more friends. Personally, in the future, whether you stay in Beijing or let go of an outside job, it will only benefit you. Let's not talk about the official route, just talk about the second sister-in-law, the business may be better."

Since he took the initiative to mention this, this was a good opportunity, and Lu Yan took the opportunity to say: "Don't hide Qi Lang, I have invited a good couple over today. It is really selfish."

Rong Qi and Zhang Shanniang looked at each other silently, Zhang Shanniang stopped the person who was going to invite Xu Xingniang and Zhao Qiongniang, and motioned the people around her to step back, and Rong Qifang said, "The truth is to the two, if you can help Those who are busy need not say much, but if they can’t, please forgive me.

"He is an old man, he is attacking the grace of his ancestors, and he is fighting the power of his father and brother. This is the truth.

He directly, Lu Yan also simply said what he had encountered in the shop, and said: "I am not a person who wants to cause trouble easily, but in the long run, I am afraid that the trouble will continue. One day I will always ask people. It is better to plan early. . If the good couple can take advantage of the situation, it’s great. If not, please help build a bridge.” After thinking about it, he added: “Originally, we didn’t lack money. We didn’t need to open this shop for fear of trouble. She had a careful wish and couldn't leave this shop anymore."

Rong Qi is not someone who doesn’t understand anything. He understood it as soon as he heard it: “Yes, you have no roots in this capital. If it’s an ordinary business, the treasure business is already attractive. The better, it is more eye-catching. At the feet of the emperor, although he will not dare to buy and sell, it is very troublesome to be watched by others. Don't worry, this matter is on my body. !"

Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong were very surprised by his boldness. Just as they were about to thank them, Zhang Shanniang smiled slightly, took the words, and said softly: "It's not about murder or arson, violation of discipline and law, but with a little effort, naturally all you can help Help. But just, can I listen to Rong Niang talk about your wish?"

The implication is that it is okay to raise your hand. Zhang Shanniang is much more shrewd than Rong Qi and can't easily perfuse, but Lin Jinrong doesn't intend to perfuse her, and said frankly: "My wish is just to open a righteous village, and try my best to let the poor girls I see around me have a destination. "

Zhang Shanniang showed a bit of surprise on her face, and then quickly covered it, and smiled softly: "Rongniang is a great idea, but please forgive me for being blunt. There are so many poor girls in this world. It depends on you alone. Power, how much can I manage!"

Lin Jinrong said quietly, "I don't ask for numbers, but peace of mind." She guessed that Zhang Shanniang would treat her as a fame, but she didn't mean to explain it. Just because of this kind of thing, anyone who believes will believe it. , The unbelievers can't explain how.

Zhang Shanniang pondered for a moment, and said, "Everyone has aspirations, so why think about it. Then what do you want us to do?"

Rong Qi leaned over and said, "What do you do? Anyway, someone will come to find the fault and let them find me."

Zhang Shanniang raised her eyebrows, and she laughed like a silver bell, "Qi Lang, Qi Lang, you are fighting hard and want your men to do their best. I think you and Lu Erye should go outside to play. Mother’s shop is our women’s business, so it’s better for me to tell her."

Lin Jinrong admired Zhang Shanniang in five ways, and with a single word, he said that he would not do things that violate the law and discipline, nor was it an unprincipled shield for them, let alone allow Qi's boldness and loyalty to be easily used by others. Then, he wiped away the men's affection and loyalty, and the rest was all about women. If the next talk is not good, she will reject herself, and Lu Yan and Rong Qi are not good to say anything. Right now, following Zhang Shanniang's meaning, she winked at Lu Yan, and Lu Yan persuaded Rong Qi to go out: "Go, let's play outside."

When the two of them were to blame, Lin Jinrong said with a smile: "I am doing a legitimate business here. I just borrow a famous man from the mansion on weekdays, and there will be no trouble." Looking at Zhang Shanniang's expression, she tactfully said She was willing to help, so she shared a share of her dividends, and emphasized a point. If unfortunately something major happened, it would be another matter. After all, it would not be a disadvantage for both of them.

Zhang Shanniang's expression is uncertain, she muttered silently.
