life in ancient gods

Chapter 52

Tonight is the third year of Yongtai, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The market is filled with lanterns, fish, dragons and lions dancing, and crowds of people.

Although there was an uprising in the south, and the army sent by the imperial court to the south to counter the rebellion, they could not suppress it. Instead, the peasant uprising army grew stronger and stronger.

Shenggong Fang La led the peasant uprising army and captured two cities as strongholds in a row, almost reaching Lin'an.

However, Jinling seemed untouched. People leisurely watched the lanterns in the bustling street market.

The most fashionable nightlife in this dynasty is to visit the brothels, even Ye Chenli, the fourth-rank general Xuanwei, is no exception. .
He also occasionally went to the brothel to chat with those literati and scholars, dance and write, recite poems and compose Fu, drink and chat, and listen to the ditties played by the divas in the brothel.

Tonight, it was Ye Chenli who invited Su Ping'an and a friend to drink and chat in the brothel together, reciting poems and composing poems.

Although Piaoxianglou is not the largest and most famous brothel in Jinling, Li Shishi, the oiran of Piaoxianglou, is the most famous and beautiful scenery in Jinling.

Originally, Ye Chenli wanted to invite Su Ping'an and his friend to the Jin Feng Building, the largest and most luxurious building in Jinling, to drink, chat, and recite poems.

However, Su Pingan happened to have something to discuss with Ye Chenli, and this matter was about Li Shishi.

So, under Su Ping'an's suggestion, the three of them strolled towards Piaoxiang Tower while watching the lanterns and fish, dragon and lion dance in the bustling Jinling market.

In the night sky above Jinling City, colorful fireworks were set off, and the bustling market was full of traffic.

Some people stopped and looked up at the bright fireworks in the night sky, laughing from time to time, some watched various acrobatic performances, and ate all kinds of delicious food from street stalls.

"Boom..."

Another more beautiful and colorful firework lit up in the night sky, and the people in the market cheered.

Su Ping'an, Ye Chenli, and another person also stopped to look up at the beautiful scene.

Tonight, Su Pingan was wearing a black brocade robe, a jade crown on his head, a piece of white uncut jade hanging around his waist, and a pair of black riding boots.

Ye Chenli who was beside him was wearing a gold silk robe, a martial crown on his head, a delicate oval gold belt around his waist, and a pair of tiger-head boots under his feet.

There is also a friend of Ye Chenli, who looks white and clean, with exquisite features, and a slightly petite figure, about 160 in height, very thin, looks like a fair and clean scholar.

He was dressed in brocade clothes, a brocade hat, and a pair of brocade boots, with an exquisite and simple cyan jade pendant hanging from his waist.

In a corner of the bustling market, Ye Chenli cupped his hands to Su Ping'an, looked at the scholar Bai Jing beside him, and introduced, "Brother, I'm here to introduce you, this is Wen..."

But the Baijing scholar interrupted Ye Chenli, "...it's still Ben... let me introduce myself. My surname is Wen, my name is Yao, and I'm from the capital. May I ask your surname Gao?"

The sound is neutral, but nice to listen to.

"...Wen Yao... Oh, next to Su Ping'an, Brother Wen, it's a pleasure to meet you." Su Ping'an cupped his hands to the frail scholar.

Wen Yao thought that being able to be sworn brothers with Ye Chenli would be at least a fourth-rank official. He cupped his hands and smiled, "Brother Su, it's a pleasure to meet you. I wonder what official position Brother Su holds?"

"..." Su Ping'an had a black line on his forehead, a little confused, "I don't have any official position."

"Ah... oh... that's it..." Ye Chenli, who was beside Wen Yao, glanced at Ye Chenli, and Ye Chenli nodded, expressing that it was like this, he couldn't figure it out, how could Ye Chenli hang out with a person who didn't have any official position At the same time, he also sworn brothers and became a little confused.

At the side street stall, there was a vendor selling steamed stuffed buns with soup. The rich aroma wafted over, causing Wen Yao to look at the steamed stuffed buns. He swallowed, and his throat slid up and down.

He tilted his head and said boldly to Su Pingan and Ye Chenli: "Tonight, I will be the host. How about treating you to some steamed buns?"

Saying that, regardless of whether the two agreed or not, they walked straight to the street stall selling steamed stuffed buns.

"..." Su Pingan looked at Ye Chenli with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

"..." Ye Chenli shook his head and smiled, and also glanced at Su Ping'an.

Unanimously, the two followed Wen Yao to the street stall selling steamed stuffed buns.

The man who sells steamed stuffed buns is a stout man, and beside him is a black and thin woman who is making buns with her head bowed. White steam is coming out of the steamer and the aroma is fragrant.

"Shopkeeper, here are three steamed buns." Wen Yao walked up to the stout man selling steamed buns filled with soup and said.

The steamed stuffed bun shopkeeper looked up at Wen Yao, then turned his gaze to Su Ping'an and Ye Chenli who were behind him, "Okay, three guests, sit here, the steamed stuffed bun will be ready in a while."

There are three square wooden tables on the side, and there are four small benches under each table.

The three of Su Pingan chose a table at random and sat on the bench.

As soon as Wen Yao sat up, she approached Ye Chenli and said, "...Ah Li, it's been a long time since I've eaten steamed stuffed buns in Jinling, I really miss..."

"...A Li..." Su Ping'an blinked, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and thought to himself: "What is the relationship between this man named Wen and Ye Chenli? He actually called Ye Chenli A Li..."

Ye Chen looked thoughtful from his eyes, glanced at Wen Yao, nodded and said, "Well, last time Wen...Brother Wen, you came to Jinling two years ago, and you also dressed like this."

Wen Yao's bright eyes turned slightly, and she blinked and smiled, "Hee hee, Ah Li, do you still remember the last time I invited you to drink flower wine?"

"Well, I remember." Ye Chenli nodded, recalling the past.

Wen Yao looked at the bright fireworks in the night sky, and said with a smile: "At that time, after we ate steamed stuffed buns, we went to Jinfeng Tower to drink flower wine. I was still drunk."

Ye Chenli seemed to be very respectful to Wen Yao, but also seemed to be worried about saying something wrong, "Well, but at the end of this time... my elder brother proposed to go to Piaoxiang Tower."

"Okay, then he should come to treat guests and drink flowers and wine!" Wen Yao said, turning her eyes to Su Ping'an, with a hint of provocation in the corner of her eyes.

Su Ping'an smiled indifferently, "Naturally, Su has covered all the expenses in Piaoxiang Building tonight."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Yao with the survey technique.

Name: Wang Yao

Attributes: Constitution 56, Strength 51, Dexterity 138
Condition: Excellent
"What the hell, her agility and body skills are so high?! And her surname is Wang, not Wen... Yao turns out to be this Yao..." Su Ping'an looked confused.

At this time, the shopkeeper brought up three steaming steamed buns filled with soup, and took three sets of plates and chopsticks and placed them in front of the three-person table.

Wen Yao was not polite at all. Before the two of them could move, he picked up a thin-skinned, tender and juicy soup dumpling with chopsticks and took a small bite.
