When he arrived in Suzhou, it was already sunset. Yu Ren took Zhao Rui to Xu Xinsu's guerrilla general's mansion first. Seeing that Xu Hai had already gone, he took Zhao Rui to the restaurant where the banquet was held.

As soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I saw Xiong Wencan’s first counselor Huang Yuanji standing at the door and waiting. Seeing Yu Ren, Huang Yuanji hurriedly came to meet him. "Brother Yu, you are finally here. I thought you can’t come!"

"Sorry, sorry. I went back to Songjiang because I had something to do at home. When I saw Lord Xiong's invitation, I quickly rushed over."

"Please please, please, please." Huang Yuanji asked, and glanced at Zhao Rui behind Yu Ren.

"Is this Mrs. Zun?"

"No. He is a friend of mine, and also the cousin of Mr. Classical Chinese, and the daughter of Mr. Zhao, the master of Donglin." Yu Ren introduced.

Huang Yuanji heard that Zhao Rui was Zhao Nanxing's daughter, so he quickly bowed down, "It turned out to be Zhao Shimei. It's rare. Go upstairs together quickly."

Although Huang Yuanji was enthusiastic, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

The three of them went upstairs and saw that Xu Hai had arrived long ago, and there was Wang Wenyan, but Sun Sheng and Xiong Wencan were not seen. Yu Ren didn't care, thinking that they were not here yet. Huang Yuanji ordered the banquet to start.

"What, aren't we waiting for Lord Xiong and Eunuch Sun?"

"Eunuch Sun personally escorted a batch of tax silver to Beijing a few days ago. Lord Xiong suddenly had something to do yesterday and was summoned to Nanjing. He couldn't come. Today, we are all here. They are all without official positions. Everyone can drink happily and there is no need to be restrained.

After drinking, I arranged wonderful singing and dancing!"

Speaking of this, Huang Yuanji seemed to take a look at Zhao Rui accidentally. Yu Ren often hangs out at such singing and dancing parties in his previous life. He knew that in such places, most men would inevitably tell jokes. Zhao Rui was a big girl's house, so it was really inconvenient to sit here.

So Yu Ren leaned over and whispered in Zhao Rui's ear, "There are all men here. You are a girl's house. I'm afraid it's not convenient to sit there. Why don't I have someone to have another private room downstairs! You go there and wait for me. OK?"

Zhao Rui is a smart person, and their family is in business. Although she is still just a girl, she still has some understanding of such banquets for men. In fact, as soon as she came up, she saw that there were only a few big men on it, and Zhao Rui wanted to leave. At this time, Yu Ren proposed it, so naturally there was nothing he didn't agree.

So Yu Ren asked Huang Yuanji to help Zhao Rui find a private room downstairs.

Huang Yuanji smiled. "How can you find this? You only know that we are drinking here, but you don't know that their women are drinking too! But they are not here, but at my house. Why don't you send Zhao Shimei to my house? Her cousin sister-in-law is there too. There are many people and they are just close."

Yu Ren looked at Zhao Rui.

"Okay. I haven't seen my cousin's wife for a long time. It's a rare opportunity to have a party." Zhao Rui did not refuse.

So Huang Yuanji quickly sent someone to send Zhao Rui to the Huang Mansion. Yun'er, who came with him, was originally going to travel with him, but was stopped by Zhao Rui. "You are here to serve Mr. Yu and the others, remember not to let her be drunk!"

Yun'er is a smart girl and has been following the lady for many years. As soon as Zhao Rui said this, she understood what she meant. That was to let her stay here so that she could monitor Yu Ren and not let him be led by these people.

When Huang Yuanji saw Zhao Rui leaving, he didn't care about it even though he left a girl. He just took it seriously. So Huang Yuanji ordered, "Singing and dancing."

After a while, a few singers with heavy makeup walked up, followed by a woman holding a pipa.

Yu Ren didn't care. This was not the first time he had appreciated the singing and dancing of this era. Every performance was like a concert, and it was lively.

The women came up and sang for a while, and then they danced a lot. At first they were very gentle, but later they gradually became a little bit exposed. The clothes on their bodies became less and less, and the exposed parts were more and more. It was a bit similar to modern striptease.

Several men sat on it and watched it laughing endlessly.

"How is it? Mr. Yu has never seen this kind of dance! This is a unique signature song created in Yingchun Tower, Suzhou."

Yu Ren looked at Xu Hai and saw that he was watching it with relish, so he didn't comment. Everyone is adults. Although Yu Ren doesn't like watching this kind of show, he doesn't like some old masters.

At this time, Ping'er, who was standing by, expressed her opinion, "This is not a dance! It's just an excuse to take it off for men to show it. Such a woman can only pay money and make her do not do it! She is really shameless and has anything to look good when she gets home."

When Huang Yuanji saw Ping'er actually started a discussion, he couldn't help but say, "Men, you are just a maid, why are you talking nonsense?"

Ping'er replied, "I didn't want to interrupt, but you just watched these shameless songs and dances, but you insisted on pulling my husband up! I would also like to follow them, and it is embarrassing to see these women."

Huang Yuanji saw that although Ping'er was fierce, she looked very beautiful, and when he saw that Yu Ren did not seem to be an ordinary maid, he stopped talking about her. In Huang Yuanji's mind, this girl's tenth girl was Yu Ren's concubine, otherwise any maid would dare to be so arrogant in front of his master. And this kind of maid's accompanying her was also common in the Ming Dynasty.

"Okay! You're right. Then let's not watch these vulgar songs and dances. If you change to a more elegant one, it's okay!" After Huang Yuanji said that, he clapped his hands and all the half-exposed singers retreated. Then he called a girl serving the side and whispered a few words in her ear.

After a while, another woman came up.

This woman looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, but her hair knots were tied up on her head, which meant that she was married. She saw that she was lightly pink, beautiful but not vulgar, wearing a pink long skirt and a string of silver-white pearl chains hanging around her neck. Although her clothes were simple but not out of order, she was holding a pipa in her hand.

The woman walked onto the stage and bowed to everyone, then sat quietly on a stool next to her and stopped talking.

When several men saw this woman, their eyes lit up, especially Xu Hai. Since the woman came on stage, he had been obsessed with her, and even forgot where this was.

Yu Ren also felt his eyes lit up. This woman was really good, but he just looked at it with an appreciation look, as if he saw a good piece of ceramic, but she belonged to someone else, and he had no intention of taking it for himself, just to look at it.

"This is a girl from my family, named Suqin. Because she learned the good Pipa since childhood, she became a little arrogant and always wanted to marry a hero. But she was not lucky, but later she married a useless man. Soon the man died again. Because her father died early and had no brothers, I brought her to live with us. Even Lord Xiong praised her for her Pipa, and even recognized her as her goddaughter.

When she heard that I was going to host a banquet for Mr. Yu and Mr. Xu, she insisted on coming to see it. Miss Ping'er wanted to watch the elegant opera, but I was not prepared here, so I had to let her go."

After Huang Yuanji introduced, he said to Huang Suqin, "You usually say that there are few heroes in the world that you can admire. These two people in front of you are all truly known as heroes. The last time Mr. Yu was in Hangzhou, his sword was unsheathed, and he defeated the young master of the Li family in Tieling and the masters around him. You know this.

This Xu Dangjia was also a person who led thousands of brothers. Not long ago, he also caused several President Xiong's subordinates to suffer a loss. It can be said that he is a person with talent in Huaiyin.

You can see them today, which is your luck. Let’s play your best song and listen to it!”

Huang Suqin walked forward with the pipa in her arms. She gave Yu Ren a bow first. Yu Ren said with a smile, "Shimei, please get up."

Huang Suqin walked to Xu Hai again to salute him. Xu Hai hurriedly stretched out his big hand and helped her up with both hands, as if she was afraid that she would fall.

Huang Suqin raised her phoenix eyes lightly, glanced at Xu Hai, then retreated to the original place, and then slowly sat down to play the pipa. Her pipa was indeed very good. Although Yu Ren was a completely out of music, it was also possible to hear that the music she played was very unusual.

After playing the song "Zhaojun Going Out of the Frontier", everyone was a little confused. Huang Suqin himself seemed to be deeply trapped in that atmosphere and could not extricate himself for a long time.

After a while, she saw her slowly picking up the pipa and came up again to salute Yu Ren and Xu Hai.

When Yu Ren saw Huang Suqin coming forward to salute, he stood up, but saw her glance behind her and a smile appeared on her face. Yu Ren couldn't help but turn around. It turned out that Ping'er had walked behind her at some point, almost close to her, and looked at Huang Suqin with a cautious look on her face, as if Yu Ren was a beloved thing in her hand, and Huang Suqin was about to snatch it.

When Yu Ren saw Ping'er like this, he couldn't help laughing. "Pinger, what are you doing?"
