Chapter 163: Looking for friends but not Yan Yi’s efforts
No one knows the conversation between the siblings in the other courtyard, or Xu Miaoniang's secret thoughts. At this moment, Li Yaoguang is holding his little cousin's hand, following Ji Mo, who is familiar with the terrain of Yangzhou City, towards the Bibo that everyone has talked about. Go to the pavilion.
Wu Ding said goodbye. They hadn't been apart for long. Even though everyone Gu was very capable and courageous, she thought she wouldn't be able to reopen her Linhai Pavilion in such a short time, right?
With this suspicion, Li Yaoguang asked Ji Mo to take him to Bibo Pavilion.
At that time, Ji Mo was startled. He looked her up and down, and moved his mouth again and again, as if he wanted to persuade her. Li Yaoguang had to explain that he was visiting an old friend who had always been a friend to him, and only then did he agree to take her. Go.
Bibo Pavilion is located in the famous Huajie Alley in Yangzhou City. There were noisy events all the way there. On the way, I met someone selling tin candies and popcorn. Li Yaoguang even bought some and gave them to his little cousin who was holding his hand.
The little guy is also sensible. He eats it by himself without forgetting to leave a portion for his friends.
As for Brother Yi, the child was sensible and lovable. Unlike their sister, they did not stop the two children from playing together.
Because it was daytime, Bibo Pavilion was not open for business. Ji Mo opened the door and gave a reward of money. From the gatekeeper's mouth, he learned that Bibo Pavilion did not receive the group of people from Wuding City, and there was no one in their building. Nothing to care about, Rouge Girl.
With such a result, Ji Mo was confident that what his mother-in-law said was true, and Li Yaoguang became worried.
Could it be that everyone Gu and the others were not peaceful on their way south? Is it because people haven’t arrived yet, or... nothing will happen?
Seeing that Li Yaoguang was upset, Ji Mo comforted him.
"Don't scare yourself by thinking about it. Maybe you remember it wrong. What if it's not Bibo Pavilion, but Biyu Pavilion or some other pavilion? There are many pavilions in this pavilion and that pavilion in Yangzhou City. Don't worry, it won't affect every family. Just look for it.”
This is not a solution. Li Yaoguang nodded. They spent the whole day hanging out in the flower streets, looking for this pavilion and that building. There was no result for one day. They went out the next day and visited almost all the flower streets, theaters, and small classes in Yangzhou City. Later, it even developed into inns, theaters, teahouses, and restaurants, but no trace of Gu and his party was found. Li Yaoguang was really anxious.
Ji Mo couldn't bear it, so he stayed alone in the study that night, called his cronies, and broke the news. Then, when Li Yaoguang searched the city for his old friend but could not find any trace of him, he went outside the city on the Grand Canal.
I don't know when, but there suddenly appeared on this canal an inconspicuous building ship, which was still doing clean business.
On the edge of the canal, there are weeping willows, and at a bluestone ferry, there are many men dressed as scholars standing.
"Brother Fang, this place is surrounded by water and there are no pavilions or pavilions. Where is the interesting place you mentioned?"
The man who was called Brother Fang shook the folding fan in his hand, not bothering to fan it in the harsh spring cold. He smiled and said he would just wait until night fell and the lanterns came on. The lights on the river were dotted, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be faintly heard. Then he raised the fan again. Suddenly, a two-story high-rise building with bright lights floated on the canal. The man put away the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, look, isn't this coming?"
The building boat docked at the shore and the sampan was put down. The young man who was still confused before saw the crowd of people who had stopped on Wednesday and Friday moved around. The people around him also made an invitation gesture towards him.
"Brother Liu, please."
When the two of them stepped onto the boat with the flow of people, they thought it was an ordinary flower boat. They saw that everything was in order, the music of the piano was clear and spiritual, the girls were not flattering or enchanting, and the walking maids all behaved in a measured manner. It was not a kitschy brothel. This Brother Liu felt that his eyesight was not enough, he shook his head, clapped his hands, and shouted happily. "Hahaha, good, I praise you! Brother Fang is indeed a capable person, and he found such an elegant place. How wonderful, how wonderful!"
Brother Fang smiled and said nothing. He just took his friend and followed the smart little girl who led the way to sit down. The two of them ordered a pot of tea and four pastries. After asking about the programs performed today, The two of them just kept talking, and they didn't stop even when the little girl came up to serve tea and cakes.
"Is what Brother Fang said true? Did the famous Yama doctor from Dajing really send out a Yama card and offer rewards to people in Yangzhou city?"
"That's nature."
"No? I think the news is false."
"Hey~ These words are definitely true. This is the news coming from Ji Qitang in Yangzhou City. Let's not talk about the whole Dajing. In our land in the south of the Yangtze River, who doesn't know that Yan Luo is hidden behind Qiji Hall and will pass through Qi Qitang every year? Jiqitang issued ten Yama cards. Those who hold these cards can ignore the four no-help rules set by the Yama doctor himself. Since it is Jiqitang who speaks this time, it must not be false."
"Tsk, tsk, you don't save people who have done many evil things; you don't save people who are dead; you don't save people who can't afford the reward; you don't save them if you don't want to; they say that this Yama doctor can revive the dead, but the conditions for his action are also very harsh! I don't know who is like this Good luck, can you control this Yama? By the way, who is the person Yama is looking for? "
"Haha, I don't know. I don't care about this, but I seem to be looking for someone from Linhai Pavilion?"
"Linhai Pavilion? What is it? A teahouse or a wine shop?"
The little girl who was holding a teapot to pour tea for the two guests in front of her heard the word "Linhai Pavilion". Her hand shook and she almost knocked it over. Fortunately, she was an old girl and had been in contact with many guests, so she was very stable.
She apologized delicately, poured the tea, put down the teapot, accepted the guests' orders, and respectfully left When the news came out, Gu Qing, who was immersed in tuning, was shocked when he heard the news.
"You said that Yama's doctor is looking for our Linhai Pavilion?" How could it be possible? They have nothing to do with Yama's doctor!
Gu Qing suppressed the doubts in her heart and asked carefully, "Did you hear them clearly talking about the person behind Yama Medical? Or why are they looking for us?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "Sister Gu, what's the trouble?"
Facing the little girl's worried look, Gu Qing shook his head, touched the little girl's head and said a few words of comfort before sending her off. She kept thinking that she couldn't let it go. She got distracted and her performance this night was not as good as before. .
With such doubts, she gathered Lu Qingrou and others together after seeing off the guests on the boat at night, and talked about what the little girl had heard. After hearing this, they all expressed their desire to go and find out, so the next morning , Lu Qing escorted Gu Qing and Yanzhi ashore into the city, and went straight to Jiqitang to inquire.
When Gu Qing led Lu Qing and Yanzhi to another courtyard by the steward of Jiqitang, Li Yaoguang was talking to his aunt and uncle in the room about not being able to find anyone. He was worried, and Cao Cao had arrived.
The two parties were overjoyed to meet each other. In addition, the steward of Jiqitang led them here. Gu Qing thought that Li Yaoguang had a close relationship with the Yama doctor. In addition, he was so happy to meet old friends that he forgot to mention it for a while. It was only after this incident that Li Yaoguang found out who was the Yama doctor who had secretly helped her.
