Seeing the guilty look on Zhang Fu's face when he came in, Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile: "You came late, are you going to pester the little princess again?"

Zhang Fu said honestly: "The general wanted to invite the little princess to come with him. He spent a long time with her, but she finally rejected him."

Qiu Fu laughed and said: "Invite her here? Are you crazy? We brothers are having a gathering. Why do you want her to come? Is she going to drink wine with you?"

Zhang Fu obviously had not thought about the meaning of today's dinner in advance. His face immediately turned red and he sat down calmly.

Everyone took their seats. The five table tables were not arranged in two rows, but formed an arch of one and a half months. Zhu Gaoxu was in the middle, followed by Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng. Lan Qiao and Zhang Fu were on both sides, facing Yi Gou. A spacious terrace under the crescent moon, leaving an open space in the middle.

The open space was reserved for the dancers to perform their performances. At this time, the door between the private room and the terrace was open, and the north wind was blowing, making the gauze curtains flutter and making everyone's clothes and hair flutter.

The waitresses in Wangbei Tower served food and wine in a flowing manner. They closed the door to the terrace, then lit two large stoves in the corner of the room, one to cook wine and the other to cook tea, and then gave each person a hand warmer. The room felt warm immediately.

Zhu Gaoxu leaned comfortably on the soft pillow behind him, squinting his eyes and looking at the hazy window paper covering the inner room, as if expecting what kind of stunning beauty would walk out of it later.

After the maid poured wine for everyone, Qiu Fu seemed to see Zhu Gaoxu's thoughts, stroking his silver beard and smiling: "Don't worry, Your Highness, today we have the most popular Wu Xiaohuadan from Zuixiangfang in Peking. They are all lustful." With both talents, I will never disappoint His Highness."

Zhu Gaoxu gave a noncommittal "hmm" and suddenly said mysteriously: "Recently, I heard that a special new fashion has begun to become popular in Fengyue Circle in Beiping City. I wonder if these dancers you invited are waiting. Will..."

Zhu Neng was obviously in the same group, and he immediately answered: "Hey, it would be interesting if that were the case."

Qiu Fu didn't know what kind of riddle the two of them were playing. He smiled and shook his head. He raised his glass to toast and said, "To make drinking fun for everyone, I specially prepared a little game. I think it's for everyone." For your entertainment."

Zhu Gaoxu was amused by his mysterious appearance and said, "What game? Show us."

"This is the reveal." Qiu Fu clapped his hands and asked to the inner room: "Girls, are you ready?"

A timid female voice replied: "Go back to the general, you are ready."

Qiu Fu glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, as if he was waiting for the show to begin: "Let's begin."

But after hearing the sound of ringing, the door of the inner room slowly slid open to one side, and five graceful girls in costumes filed out and stood in a row in the open space in front of the arched banquet surrounded by everyone.

They were wearing red, yellow, blue, green, and purple long dance skirts. The corners of each skirt just hung down to a height of two finger widths from the ground. They did not drag to the ground, but also covered their legs and feet. Be strict.

In contrast, the upper body of the dance skirt is much bolder. It not only fits the girl's body curve very well, but is also exquisitely cut. The girls' shoulders, jade neck and a piece of snowy muscle are all exposed, and they are also covered with a white light skirt. The streamers are like fairies from the heavenly palace descending to earth together, attracting people's reverie.

The only flaw is that they all covered their faces and divided them into two layers. They first used a layer of embroidered handkerchief to cover their mouths and noses, and then used a layer of white gauze to cover their eyebrows, eyes and forehead, so that no one could see the true appearance of Mount Lu.

Zhu Gaoxu said dissatisfiedly: "I'm talking about Lao Qiu, what kind of fame have you achieved? The beauties have their faces covered, who can tell whether they are stunning or not?"

Qiu Fu explained happily: "This is the beauty of this game. When the girls perform their dance, we will just watch, and then we will eat, drink, talk and laugh. When they finish dancing, we will choose one of them to come down.

They will be drinking at their own banquet, and then they will show their true looks. Whether they are beautiful or ugly is their choice anyway, and they can't take it back."

"It's interesting." Zhu Gaoxu gradually understood, clapped his hands and smiled, "Since we are all beautiful ladies in Zuixiangfang, it is impossible to be ugly. It's just that everyone has different preferences. This is a blind selection that only looks at the dance but not the face.

Interesting, let’s go for a walk?”

Qiu Fu nodded repeatedly and signaled the musicians to start playing. He said to Zhu Gaoxu: "Among the five dandies in Zuixiangfang, the most famous one is Bai Shaoyao. With her beauty, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in Peiping. I don't know.

How many romantic young men have fallen under her pomegranate skirt. She is among these five girls. Now even I don’t know which one is the one. I wonder which of my brothers has the blessing and luck to get her red sleeves.

."

Zhu Neng's fiery eyes kept scanning the five girls, and he couldn't suppress his excitement and said: "This will be more interesting, or let's make a bet to see who can choose Bai Shaoyao."

"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu made a "pop" sound and slapped a handful of copper coins on the table. "The white peony is mine, twenty coins."

Lan Qiao thought about the dignified Second Highness of the Prince Yan's Mansion, but he only took twenty coins when he bet with others. He suppressed the urge to laugh and said: "I also bet on the Second Highness, ten coins." He did not dare to bet more than Zhu Gaoxu, so he only took out the money.

Ten copper coins.

Zhu Neng didn't care about that: "Thirty Wen, I'm going to sleep with white peony in my arms today."

Zhang Fu said cautiously: "Then I will win the first prize with Gambling Qiu Lao, five articles."

Qiu Fu chuckled: "If we talk about beauty, who can be better than Huaiyuan? I bet he can be chosen, and it will be twenty cents."

At this time, the music played, and the girls danced to the sound. Each class's graceful appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention to them.

It turned out that their dance skirts were specially designed, with deep slits on the left and right sides and in the middle. Just now they walked out of the inner room with extremely dignified steps and slow movements. In addition, the fabric of the skirts was small.

It was folded, so it was completely covered, and the five big and thick men couldn't see it. At this moment, they danced gracefully, and the three holes opened with their movements, immediately revealing the slender legs under the skirt, and the young ones.

White and tender bare feet.

"That's it!" Zhu Neng was the first to be moved. "When Hua became famous all over Peiping, the story of her dancing barefoot also spread. So the dancers in Beiping City followed suit one after another, and all learned to perform barefoot.

A new fashion in Peiping's fengyuechang. Nowadays, if you go to a brothel to watch girls dancing, it's hard to find anyone wearing shoes."

Amidst the music of silk and bamboo pipes, beauties of five colors competed to flatter each other. Some had graceful postures, some were dynamic, some had stretched bodies, and some had great charm. For a moment, they seemed like five-colored butterflies playing among the flowers. They were carrying flowers on their shoulders.

The streamers change in various shapes, like smoke, mist, clouds, and the moon. The slits on the skirt also open and close. The lotus feet and jade legs under the skirt disappear and appear.

The light makes people's blood rush.
