Chapter 43 Zhao Xuan'er
Chapter 42 Zhao Xuaner

At the beginning of the day, the lights are bright and colorful. The Zijin Pavilion looks high-end and luxurious on the outside, but the inside is relatively simple. The whole Zijin Pavilion is divided into two parts, one is the front hall, and the other is the inner hall. The front hall is the normal time for business. The place used, while the inner hall is usually not open to the public, only for major festivals or when people with status come here, it will be open to the public.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals in Yangzhou City, and it is said that some important people will come to Yangzhou, so this tea poetry party will be held in the inner hall of Zijin Xuan.

The inner hall of Zijin Xuan is more like a small studio in later generations. There is a circular stage at the stairway on the second floor, and the tables and chairs in the inner hall are all built around the stage. The hall is not like the place where fireworks ask the willows, but more like a place dedicated to holding certain events.

In the north of the stage, there are two separate tables and chairs. There are a lot of fruit and wine on the wooden table, but there is an open space around the table and chairs. No other tables and chairs are close, even if there are some talented people. They were all reverent, speaking in low voices, not daring to make loud noises.

On these two tables and chairs, there are two people sitting at this time. One is a middle-aged man about 40 years old. The man is fat and always has a gentle smile on his face, but occasionally there is a flash in his eyes. His sharpness makes people dare not underestimate his existence.

And the other person is the person who had a relationship with Lin Xiaoyao once, and even the person who scared Lin Xiaoyao away.

"How could it be him?"

Lin Xiaoyao's eyes kept wandering in the inner hall. When he found the familiar figure sitting on the main seat, he was startled and at the same time a little embarrassed. He just gave the painting to himself during the day, but at night he let himself Selling it... oh no, giving it away is somewhat bad.

If he asked me about the painting, how would I answer?

"Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me..."

Lin Xiaoyao quietly raised the fruit in front of him to cover his face, and kept mumbling.

"Xiaoyao, what's the matter?"

After Xiao Wan'er discovered Lin Xiaoyao's strange behavior, she asked very puzzled.

"It's nothing, I saw a problem."

"trouble?"

Xiao Wan'er looked forward following Lin Xiaoyao's line of sight, and said in surprise, "The magistrate?"

"What prefect?"

Xiao Wan'er snatched the fruit from Lin Xiaoyao's hand, pointed to the slightly fat middle-aged man and said, "That man is Zhang Yi, the magistrate of Yangzhou. When I went to report to the police today, I happened to meet him."

"That fat man is the magistrate. The old man who can sit with him must have a different identity. Does he really know me?"

Lin Xiaoyao's thoughts were running fast, does this old man really know himself, who is he, is he a good person or a bad person?
"Xiaoyao, the trouble you are talking about is not the magistrate?" Xiao Wan'er asked worriedly. Although Lin Xiaoyao's status is not low, his current situation is not particularly optimistic. If he provokes the magistrate of Yangzhou, the trouble will not be too much Small.

Lin Xiaoyao shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I haven't seen him before, so how could I offend him? The trouble I mentioned is actually not too much trouble, it's the old man, yes, the old man who smiled at me... ...head! He actually smiled at me, he actually found me..."

Lin Xiaoyao really wanted to turn around and leave right away. Why is this old man with such good eyesight? With so many people and such a long distance, he can spot me. I don't have such a predestined relationship with him, do I?

There is no way, if someone smiles at you, you can't cry at him, so Lin Xiaoyao gave the old man a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Uncle, you smile so ugly!"

Xiaoxiang had been secretly looking at Lin Xiaoyao, and when she saw Lin Xiaoyao's weird smile, she couldn't help joking.

"Little girl, I smile so brightly and unrestrainedly, yet you say it's ugly. Is there something wrong with my eyes? Let me show you."

With that said, Lin Xiaoyao was about to reach out his hand to touch Xiaoxiang, but before his hand could reach far, Xiao Waner cut it off midway.

"Ha-ha, I'm teasing her, how can I really touch her."

Lin Xiaoyao smiled awkwardly. It was really embarrassing to be caught cheating in front of his wife, but the point is that he didn't want to cheat. He is really not interested in a 16-year-old girl.

"I'm already sixteen, so I'm not young!" Xiaoxiang didn't notice Lin Xiaoyao's embarrassment at all, she pouted her mouth, and said very dissatisfied.

Lin Xiaoyao looked at Xiao Wan'er's gentle smile, then at Xiaoxiang's innocent smile, and finally had to laugh twice, it was so embarrassing, so embarrassing.

Another quarter of an hour later, when the hour had passed, many gifted scholars and beauties had arrived, and the atmosphere at the scene began to grow, Zhang Yi, the magistrate of Yangzhou, stood up, said something about the official style of Yangzhou, and praised those present The talented scholars are such pillars, and finally introduced the old man next to them before announcing the start of the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry tea party.

It was also at this time that Lin Xiaoyao finally knew the identity of this old man. The old man's name was Yu Yunwen.

Lin Xiaoyao had actually heard of Yu Yunwen's name, but he didn't remember much. He could only remember that Yu Yunwen seemed to be a civil servant who could lead troops to fight, and he had made many achievements, so he didn't know anything else.

It's just that he didn't expect that in the Great Xia Dynasty, there would be characters from his memory appearing. According to his previous memory, Yu Yunwen should be from the Song Dynasty. Could it be that the Great Xia at this time is actually at the same time as the Song Dynasty poems in the previous life?

The appearance of Yu Yunwen is undoubtedly a blockbuster, and it quickly spread among the talents. Who is Yu Yunwen? Just a few words, and then maybe you can rise to the top in the future.

Every one of the gifted scholars at the scene was as emotional as if they had taken Viagra, wishing to show their hearts to Yu Yunwen.

"This old man is actually the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. In this case, he may have met me before, but he is probably not familiar with me. After all, I am only a second-generation official. How can I fall into the eyes of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty? .”

After Lin Xiaoyao heard the old man's identity, he felt a little more at ease. A person who can be a prime minister should not be such a narrow-minded person, and he couldn't throw away his face to embarrass such an unknown bastard like himself.

According to the usual customs, before the poetry meeting starts, there will always be some performances as entertainment, and the performers are naturally the famous first names in various brothels in Yangzhou City. Under the temptation of being able to show their faces, many brothels will still prepare their shows carefully and come to Zijinxuan to perform seriously.

Watching all kinds of beauties singing and dancing on the stage is quite interesting, but the ancient ditties are really not that good. Lin Xiaoyao, who is used to all kinds of popular songs, only listened to a few After the first song, he yawned, feeling a little bored.

However, with an attitude of appreciating beauty, he still stared intently at the ancient beauties, but he covered his ears while watching.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyao's funny behavior, Xiao Wan'er couldn't help laughing, "You man, is your singing so bad? You even covered your ears."

"It's not as good as yours. When you go back, you can sing me a few songs, and I will definitely listen attentively."

Lin Xiaoyao still didn't want to take his hand off, he yawned again, and laughed.

"I don't know how to sing, and if I know how to sing, I won't let you hear it." Xiao Wan'er gave Lin Xiaoyao a coquettish look, and said coquettishly.

"Uncle, Uncle, Miss doesn't sing, I will sing for you." Xiaoxiang heard Lin Xiaoyao and Xiao Wan'er's joke at some point, and also came over and said with a smile.

"Xiao Nizi, you can't spoil him like this, he won't be able to tell what bad things he will do." Xiao Wan'er also smiled and tapped Xiao Xiang's forehead lightly, and at the same time sighed slightly in her heart, Xiao Xiang His love for Lin Xiaoyao was getting deeper and deeper, but Lin Xiaoyao didn't express it at all, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Could it be that he really had to wait a year later?
While the three were joking, the scene suddenly fell silent, and then someone whispered nearby, saying that Zhao Xuan'er, the oiran from Yangzhou, was about to appear.

Lin Xiaoyao has heard of Zhao Xuan'er's name, and Bai Helong, one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, traveled thousands of miles to Yangzhou for her. At the same time, he also became interested in what kind of woman can be so attractive .

Just when Lin Xiaoyao was thinking wildly, he only heard the sound of "Zheng", like thunder on the ground, covering the entire Zijin Pavilion in the sound of the guzheng, and there was no other sound at the scene.

At this time, Lin Xiaoyao finally met the legendary Zhao Xuan'er.

Zhao Xuan'er was wearing a velvet yellow dress and a pearl hairpin. She had a plain face and a slim figure. She slowly walked down from the second floor.

Her face is fair, and there are always two small dimples on her face. Her eyes are lively and lively, but there is a hint of shyness in them, and people can't help but come forward to comfort her.

Just this appearance made all the talented people in Zijinxuan turn red, their eyes glowed with a light that only men can understand, and their breathing became short of breath, as if Zhao Xuan'er had already taken away their souls.

Zhao Xuan'er slowly walked up to the stage and gave a slow salute to everyone in the audience. Then she turned her eyes and looked around everyone. When her eyes passed over an inconspicuous corner of the inner hall of Zijinxuan, , suddenly paused for a moment, and then a proud and shy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It turned out to be her! The bad girl who caused me to fall into the water!"

At this time, Lin Xiaoyao saw the woman on the stage clearly. This was the bewitching woman who tricked herself into falling into the water and almost drowned!
