Looking to Chang'an from the North

"Cough, I'm not angry, and I know that what you said didn't come from the heart, and you don't need to swear." Lin Chuhuai coughed lightly and pulled his hand from the man's hand, but didn't let go of what he was holding.

Although I don't know much about this person, I can still trust his character.Furthermore, when the old general Xia was still alive, the Xia family was known for its upright family style, and it was a taboo to do things such as sleeping with flowers and sleeping in willows, which corrupted public morals.

Hearing that Chang Yun hadn't misunderstood, the anxiety on Xia Yizheng's face disappeared, but just as he was about to say something, he was dragged into the room by Chang Yun.

The gate of the mansion is indeed not a good place for conversation.

After entering the room and closing the door, Lin Chuhuai looked at the person beside him with some questioning eyes.

Xia Yizheng naturally understood, "Just now I paid attention to the floods in the south of the Yangtze River in the name of relief, but the officials below are honest, it doesn't look like they have done anything, it's just..."

Xia Yizheng pondered for a second, a little uncertain.

"It's just Xie Qing." Lin Chuhuai took what he hadn't finished.

"That's right, it's Xie Qing. It's not that he's suspicious, but that he's too indifferent, never getting involved in this topic, just drinking on his own, like a person who is completely out of it."

During the banquet, Xie Qing didn't pay any attention to others after Qin Ke left, but only raised his head to look at Xia Yizheng when he heard the word "water disaster", and then lowered his head to drink, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

"Qin Ke and I, um, were chatting with the man next to Xie Qing today, and felt that something was unusual. According to what Xie Qing said just now, he doesn't go to places like brothels and brothels. Judging from the reactions of others It seems that this person is not lying. But Qin Ke said that he can smell the powder on his body recently. And the days are fixed on the fifteenth of each month, which is a bit strange."

The smell of powder is still the kind that is strong enough to stay on the clothes.In two days it will be April [-]th, so why not go and see for yourself.

Xia Yizheng was still thinking about Chang Yun's words just now, but suddenly heard his idea of ​​going to a brothel, and subconsciously stopped him, "No, that place is full of fish and dragons, how can you go there."

It's fake to be mixed up with fish and dragons, and his Chang Yun is not deeply involved in the world, what should he do if he gets lost in that place.

But he didn't know that his thoughts were almost clearly written on his face.Lin Chuhuai felt helpless, "I won't go alone, I will go with you."

In the end Xia Yizheng agreed, he had never been able to hold back his Chang Yun.

You have to do as the Romans do when you go to the countryside, so naturally you can no longer dress like you usually do in Fireworks and Willow Lane.Lin Chuhuai's clothes have always been dominated by sky blue, plain white, and water blue, with few bright colors. Since his last big wedding, Xia Yizheng has never seen him wearing complicated and luxurious robes.

The crimson purple suit not only set off his fair complexion but also showed the noble spirit of this person. The gold-encrusted hair crown, the waist-wrapped scorpion, and the red lips and white teeth made Xia Yizheng unable to move his eyes away.

Going to the brothel with this appearance, I really don't know who is frivolous in the end.In Xia Yizheng's heart, he regretted that he had softened his heart and agreed to go to that place with him.

Such a Changyun, he is not even half willing to let others look at him.

Lin Chuhuai never felt that there was anything wrong with this dress. At most, he felt that the color was a bit ostentatious, and it was too eye-catching to make people get used to it.

But Xia Yizheng was dressed in black as usual, with black gold inlaid on his clothes.His aura is different from Lin Chuhuai's. Chang Yun's nobility is pampered by a wealthy family, and is often visible from the outside; but his nobility is tempered in the battlefield, and it is the kind of arrogance that looks down on the world.

After all, each has its own merits, and I am afraid it will drive those girls crazy tonight.

There are a total of 31 brothels, large and small, in the entire Jizhou city, and it is still unclear which one Xie Qing might go to.Xia Yizheng asked his subordinates to ask carefully one by one, which made all the young men who had never been to a brothel flushed, but fortunately, they finally got the result.

Xie Qing would show up at Lanyue Tower on the [-]th day of the most recent March.Seeing this name, Xia Yizheng was relieved a lot.

Lanyuelou, the most famous brothel in Jizhou, is not because of how beautiful and extraordinary the girls in the building are, but because there are only Qingying and geisha in this shop, and the livelihood they do is high-ranking, and they can be regarded as a feast for the eyes. A clear stream.

It is rumored that all the girls there can write lyrics and compose music. If it is not because of their background, they would not be inferior to those ladies.

The two of them didn't take anyone else with them, they just walked to the downstairs of Lanyue Building in a casual manner, which attracted many women to look back and stop.

The Lanyue Tower seems to be very lively tonight, it is the [-]th full moon, and it is fun to drink wine against the moon.

Burning incense and cooking tea in the hall, during the banquet, the water is flowing. If you don't know where it is in advance, you may feel that you have entered the banquet of a famous person by mistake.

I saw that everyone in the hall seemed to be looking forward to something. Just as Lin Chuhuai wanted to ask, he saw Xie Qing turning the corner to go to the second floor. He pulled Xia Yizheng to follow, but was stopped by the servant downstairs .

"My lord, the second floor is the girls' boudoir, guests are not allowed to go up there." Although the young man was smiling, the expression on his face was not flattering or annoying.

Seeing Xie Qing disappear on the second floor, Lin Chuhuai was a little impatient, but he also knew that there were so many people here that he couldn't force his way in, so he could only bear his temper, "Since he can't go upstairs, why did that young master just now?"

The young man smiled, "Young Master, it is the first time you have come to our place. Lanyue Tower is different from ordinary brothels. My mother once said that it is up to the girls to decide whether to welcome customers or not. That master was able to go upstairs because of a sister who invited him. Of course, the ordinary guests are all in the private room downstairs to play ink and listen to music, and few of them can go upstairs for a year. No, it’s only today. attracted so many people."

Seeing that the two guest officials didn't seem to understand, the young man had no choice but to explain patiently and meticulously, "Tonight, Miss Yaoyue said that she would choose a monarch based on her writing, and many prestigious scholars in the city came to join her. There are many opportunities to climb upstairs. If you want to go up to the second floor, young master, you have to make good use of it."

This Yaoyue girl is the number one card in Lanyue Building, not only is she unparalleled in appearance, but she is also the number one in the whole Jizhou.With talent and fame, she is not an ordinary person. It is not money and status that can impress her, but her wealth.

"Thank you for letting me know." Lin Chuhuai, who was next to him, might not be too sure, but if he wanted to compete in literature, he still had a chance to compete.

There was a commotion in the hall, and the crowd was like boiling water, igniting all of a sudden.

All the lights in the hall went out in an instant, Xia Yizheng subconsciously grabbed Lin Chuhuai's wrist and brought him to his side.

Accompanied by the sound of "Zheng", a stream of high mountains and flowing water poured from the beauty's fingertips, and a few wisps of light shone on the upstairs, outlining the graceful figure of the beauty.

It is said that looking at flowers while drunk, looking at the moon by lighting a lamp, and watching beauties under the lamp is the most pleasing to the eye, and this statement is true.

At the end of the song, the beautiful woman leaned on a railing and looked down at the crowd. Although the veil covered the appearance of a heavenly man, her charm could be seen from her eyebrows and eyes.

The lotus lanterns hang down from the sky, just like the fiery trees and silver flowers, and the front of the hall is also bright and extraordinary.

The beauty opened her mouth like pearls and jade on a plate, crisp and sweet, "Thank you, everyone, today I will enjoy the vast coldness of the sky with Yaoyue. My family got a couple the day before yesterday, and I couldn't make a couplet after thinking hard, so today I will make friends with literature. Anyone who has the ability For those who come out of the lower couplet and agree with the wishes of the slave family, no matter who they are, they can go upstairs to drink with the slave family."

"Hurry up and make a pair, Miss Yaoyue, I will definitely not get drunk with you tonight."

"Let's go, Yaoyue is mine."

"Someone is this year's exam, the girl can give it a try."

Hearing the words of inviting the moon, the crowd was excited, as if they had become the first guests of the Lanyue Building.

The woman upstairs just smiled and said nothing, and there seemed to be some mockery in her expression, as if she was mocking herself for placing her hope in this group of pleasure-seekers.

Two servants behind him pulled up a banner with the Shanglian written neatly in regular script.

The moon is full and the moon is half.

Seeing this Shanglian, the crowd was silent for a while, and then there was a burst of conversation.

Xia Yizheng didn't understand these polite things, so he could only focus on Lin Chuhuai.

Lin Chuhuai didn't speak, just closed his eyes and meditated.

This upper couplet is really tricky, no matter how it is right, it makes people feel a little embarrassed.

During the incense burning time of his thinking, many people tried loudly to oppose him, but all they got was Miss Yaoyue shaking her head with a smile without exception.

The voice of the people gradually died down, some people were still racking their brains and thinking hard, while some people had clearly chosen to give up.

Seeing this situation, Yaoyue shook her head in disappointment, but asked again as if unwilling to give up, "Is there any young master who wants to try again?"

What answered her was deathly silence, and just when Yaoyue was about to give up, she heard an answer that made her suddenly enlightened.

"The end of the year follows the beginning of the year."

The pairing was wonderful, Yaoyue Xunsheng looked over and saw a young man in purple holding a folding fan and slightly bowing his hands to her as a signal.

Although the young man was dressed luxuriously, Yaoyue could tell at a glance that this man had an unusual character, and to put it bluntly, he had a bookish aura.

Not only Yaoyue, but everyone in front of the hall also expressed their admiration for this answer.

The problem that had troubled her for several days was solved, Yaoyue was overjoyed, even if someone invited Lin Chuhuai upstairs to have a talk, even Lin Chuhuai's request to bring Xia Yizheng together was exceptionally accepted.

Speaking of which, their move was a bit high-profile and risky, but fortunately Xie Qing did not appear upstairs.

The two entered Yaoyue's bedroom and sat at the table in a regular manner. Even if Yaoyue was very interested in exchanging literature with Lin Chuhuai, Lin Chuhuai chatted with him, but he seemed a little bit a little bit worried about something in his heart. absent-minded.

Xia Yizheng could see it clearly, he found an excuse at random and wanted to turn around on the second floor. Fortunately, Yaoyue's thoughts were all on Lin Chuhuai. The knowledge of this young man was really unexpected, so he didn't care Others.

Xia Yizheng gave Lin Chuhuai a wink and left the room. The private room on the second floor really made him hear a lot.

The author has something to say: The moon is full and the moon is half a month, and the end of each year is the beginning of the year, from Mr. Jin Shengtan
