"Looking for me?" Lei Wanchun frowned slightly, as confused as a monk. "I, Lei Wanchun, can't be a hero. May I ask, little lady, what does your master want from me?"
"My servant Xiangyin, I have met Lei Zhuangshi! I have met all my benefactors!" The scholar, who looked even more delicate than Ma Fang, saw that his identity was revealed by Lei Wanchun. He was stunned and squatted slightly.
, bowed to Wang Xun and others.
"You're welcome, young lady!" Wang Xun and others suddenly realized. At the same time, they turned sideways and bowed their hands in return. Ever since the woman dressed in men's clothing appeared at the door, they felt that they looked familiar. Only at this moment did they finally realize that this woman was not someone else.
She was the first one to jump down yesterday and lay the carpet for Mrs. Guo Guo.
As soon as they guessed the identity of the owner in the woman's mouth, the Qin brothers felt their faces heat up, smiled at Lei Wanchun, and whispered: "Brothers, please allow us two to go first. There are still some things at home.
Other things require people to hurry up and deal with them!"
Thinking of Mrs. Guo Guo's stunning reputation, Wang Xun was embarrassed to listen to what message the little maid Xiang Yin had to give to Lei Wanchun. He gently pulled Ma Fang and said with a smile: "Since
The place has opened, we two had better go and inspect it. Yesterday Gangzida fought with someone here, I'm afraid that some young people who don't know life and death will take the opportunity to come and fish in troubled waters!"
"It's impossible. Looking at the entire Dong City, who doesn't know the reputation of the Wang family's young marquis!" Ma Fangzheng looked at the little maid Xiangyin who was dressed in men's clothing and was dumbfounded. Wang Xun pulled her back and took a few steps back, very reluctantly.
to protest.
"Let's go, you little melon!" Wang Xun wanted to give him two slaps, grabbed Ma Fang's clothes, and whispered: "I've never seen what a beautiful woman is like. No matter how strict your father is on you, he won't even
Not even the other girls will give you a choice!"
"Can it be the same? How can it be the same?" Ma Fang backed up and protested in a low voice, "My grandfather said that when choosing a woman, the first criterion is not to be charming and to seduce the Lord. It will be difficult for me to feel blasphemy as soon as I see it.
Meaning. Second, you must have strong body and bones..."
When he made such a fuss, everything turned into something. Lei Wanchun turned red under his beard, cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Young lady, please tell me something. These are all my good brothers."
, no need to avoid it!”
"Can you say anything?" Xiangyin covered her lips with her fingers, her almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise. Her fingers were long and slender, with white skin. When she placed them on her mouth, they immediately formed a sharp contrast with her vermilion lips.
Many gamblers around him accidentally caught a glimpse and could no longer look away. There were even a few busybodies who did not recognize Lei Wanchun's reputation and slowly gathered around him.
Not to mention that Lei Wanchun could knock over a frightened horse with his fist. He had never encountered such a battle several times in his life. His face suddenly turned red and purple. He turned around and looked at Wang Xun and others who had fled, and shouted loudly.
: "Brothers, I will take my leave now. Let's have a nice drink at Linfeng Tower tomorrow."
After that, he helplessly made a gesture of invitation to Xiangyin, and led the other party out of the gate of the cockfighting ring as if he was running for his life.
Ma Fang kept staring at Lei Wanchun and Xiang Yin until their backs disappeared in the crowd, then he reluctantly looked back, shook his head, and whispered: "Brother Lei is too confused about the style. That little boy
Madam, it’s obviously..."
"Look at your behavior!" Wang Xun interrupted angrily, "It's like you've never seen a woman in your life!"
"Erlang, you don't know something!" Ma Fang looked aggrieved when he was told, "It's not that I haven't seen women before. But the first requirement for the woman my grandpa chose for me was that she wouldn't let me be greedy for her beauty and delay my studies.
Think about it, if you choose according to this standard, am I not pitiful enough?"
Thinking of Ma Fang's father's tense coffin face all day long, Wang Xun couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart, "I will take you to a place full of beautiful women, will you go?"
"Where?" Ma Fang immediately became happy and asked impatiently.
"Pingkangli!" Seeing his anxious expression, Wang Xun rolled his eyes at him and agreed angrily.
"Let's forget it!" Ma Fang shrank his neck, and his expression began to wilt again, "Yu Wen Xiaoda took me there last time, and I didn't figure it out in the end. It was me who was making fun of the girls inside.
Or are the girls just making fun of me?"
"You didn't receive two little red envelopes, did you? Gua Wa Zi!" Wang Xun teased him with a smile and shrugged, "It's up to you. Anyway, Brother Lei won't be back for a while, so I'll take the first step!" (
Note 1)
After that, he ignored Ma Fang, who had his head drooped, and hurried away along the side door of the cockfighting house.
It was just past midnight, and the day was still very long. Wang Xun took two healthy servants and wandered aimlessly on the streets. After looking at the scenery for a while, he finally felt that he had nothing to do, so he walked towards Bai Yuzhi without any restraint.
The small building came.
He felt that he had arrived early, but he didn't expect that Jinhua Building was already packed with guests. Unfortunately, as the head of Jinhua Building, Bai Yuzhi was also given a large sum of money by a group of benefactors, and could not attend the meeting.
He had not reached a redemption agreement with Bai Yuzhi, and of course he was not qualified to ruin the business of Jinhua House at this moment. He could only curl his lips and cursed with great disdain: "When did you come to Jinhua House to drink and hang out?
It’s broad daylight, don’t they have anything serious to do?”
Honggu, the aunt of Jinhua House, was also a courtesan in the romantic court back then. She knew that Wang Xun was jealous without looking at Wang Xun's face. She quickly came up to him with a smile and gently grabbed his sleeve, "
Don't you be angry, Erlang? How can those soldiers from other places be like Erlang, who only have to take a break from their busy schedule to come to Miss Bai to relax after ten days and a half? These people are going crazy in the military camp.
Mosquitoes think they have double eyelids. No, I stretched my neck early in the morning and waited for Jinhua Building to open. As long as I can hear Miss Bai sing a song, I don’t care how much I spend! Don’t be like them, theirs
The money was all exchanged for one's life, so it would have been thrown away cleanly and quickly. According to this method of throwing away, it is estimated that within a few days, you will have to go back to where you came from with your bare arms!" (Note 2)
"A group of soldiers from out of town? Where did they come from?" After hearing what his aunt said, Wang Xun felt a little less annoyed. He smiled and asked in a low voice.
"It seems that he came back from the Fourth Town of Anxi. Oh, Erlang, you don't know, this military master is very difficult to offend. Miss Bai didn't plan to show up, but they said that if Miss Bai doesn't come out to perform, they will tear it down
This Jinhua Building. In order to make a living for the other sisters in the building, Yuzhi has no choice but to compromise!" Looking at Wang Xun's face, the aunt shook her handkerchief and explained for Bai Yuzhi.
"These rough guys!" Wang Xun cursed disdainfully. But in his heart, he remembered the scene yesterday afternoon when Gao Xianzhi's generals were parading on horseback and Bai Yuzhi looked up from upstairs, and he suddenly felt more and more uncomfortable in the traffic jam.
For fear of offending him, Jinhualou's aunt came closer and said in Wang Xun's ear: "Don't worry, little Marquis, she knows what's appropriate. I can guarantee it with my life. Except for you, no one else will even come close."
She didn’t even get a chance to speak!”
"Really!" Wang Xun smiled helplessly. Bai Yuzhi's job was to sell her singing voice and appearance, and it wasn't the first day he knew about it. According to common sense, he was really angry and it was not worth it. But in the past two days
Nothing I encountered was satisfactory. First I was deceived by boy Yuwen, and then I got into a fight and rammed Mrs. Guo Guo's carriage. I finally found time to go to Jinhua Tower to have fun, but Bai Yuzhi was overtaken by others again.
Seize the place in one step......
"The Cuizhu Pavilion in the backyard is still empty. Why don't the young marquis go there first and have a sip of tea to soothe his throat? Anyway, those military masters have missions and never stay in the building for long!"
"Then let's go up and have a rest. Listening to what you said, I'm really thirsty!" Wang Xun smiled and nodded, accepting Hong Gu's suggestion.
Jinhualou's aunt Honggu smiled knowingly, called two Silla maids with outstanding looks and quick hands and feet, and ordered them to serve Wang Xun well and go to Cuizhuxuan to rest. After a while, the Silla maids brought freshly cooked rice.
Tea soup was served, and several colorful refreshments were put on the table. One person sat in Wang Xun's arms and clumsily rubbed his chest with his chest. The other person put aside the Yao Qin and slowly began to caress it.
"Stop playing, I'm not in the mood to listen to music today!" Wang Xun pushed the little maid away from his arms and waved his arms half-heartedly. "Go down and do whatever you have to do!"
The two Silla maids were startled and looked at Wang Xun blankly, tears welling up in their eyes. "You're new, right?" Wang Xun finally understood the meaning behind Hong Gu's smile and couldn't help but smile softly.
Shaking his head, "It's okay. You two can go down. I'll give you the reward. Tell Hong Gu that I'm sleepy and want to take a nap here. Don't send anyone to disturb her if she's fine.
!”
The two newly arrived Silla maids looked at each other for a long time before they were finally convinced that they had not offended the guests. They bowed and quietly left.
"These people know what's interesting!" Wang Xun lazily leaned on the bed, thinking silently in his heart. Although in Chang'an City, it is a health fashion to raise new women and use their virgin bodies to nourish them when they grow up.
, but he has no interest in the mute Silla girl. Moreover, in broad daylight, if Bai Yuzhi dispersed early and came looking for her, he would be fighting with a Silla girl here again and bump into each other.
, I’m afraid they don’t look good to each other.
After thinking about things for a while, he was really tired. He didn't want to sleep in the middle of the day, so he got off the bed and opened the window. Without a barrier, the noise from the yard immediately came in.
Wang Xun listened with his ears pricked up, and vaguely heard a familiar voice in a small building not far from his room, separated by a bamboo forest, singing softly: "Autumn is coming, and there is wind and sand on all sides. The expedition outside the Great Wall will leave home temporarily.
.A journey of a thousand miles without saying goodbye will lead to the end of the world sooner or later..."
The crowd roared with applause, and amid the cheers, the music gradually became more and more passionate. Bai Yuzhi's voice also changed from low to high, overwhelming all the noise around her.
Flames, thousands of clouds riding on the 鑑鑑. Treading on the Liao River to exhaust itself, making a noise to fly the Yanshan Mountain. It is congratulations from all directions, knowing the power of the Wanwu Emperor. The courage of the young man is soaring, and together he promises to be a hero. A horse challenges the south of the city, and single-handedly attacks the north of Ji.
Join the army. A drum of Xianbei will send money, and five baits will settle disputes. I vow to become famous and serve the country, but I will talk about my merits if I am ashamed."
When the last few words were sung, the music suddenly stopped. The singing sound penetrated the clouds and cracked the silk, then gradually became distant and faint, and the aftertaste lingered endlessly.
"Okay!" The soldiers in Caijuxuan were delighted with the sound, and the cheers became more intense. Some people clapped their hands desperately, while others, knowing the taste of the marrow, shouted, "Sing one more song, Miss Bai, please sing again.
One song. I am working hard at the front every day, and what I hope to hear most is the local accent of Chang'an."
"There is one more song, but the music has not been paired yet, so I can only sing it a cappella!" Bai Yuzhi never had stage fright. She walked to the wine table with lotus steps, picked up a pair of ivory chopsticks, and gently tapped the white jade wine cup in front of her with the chopsticks.
, "The golden walls of the imperial palace are decayed, and the Yinshan Mountains are ageless. The wind blows snow outside the tent, and the moonlight shines on the sand in front of the camp. The Qiang children blow the jade pipes, and the orchids step on the brocade flowers. But they laugh at the guests from the south of the Yangtze River, and the plum blossoms fall and do not return home."
"What a good person, but you laugh at Jiangnan guests, and the plum blossoms will not return home!" Everyone cheered loudly again. They just praised it. Suddenly someone suggested loudly, "Let's do something more tactful." I will wait for the wind to come and the rain to come every day.
, I haven’t heard a more lingering tune for a long time!”
"Yes, yes, yes, here is something that smells like powder. I have been killing all day long, and I'm actually tired of it already!"
Bai Yongzhi winked, and the violinist Xiaoping immediately plucked the silk strings and sang a melodious Chang'an ancient tune, "Jade Pass has been marching for a long time, and I am alone in the empty boudoir. The cold dew wets the moss, and autumn comes. People with unkempt temples.
Sitting in a brothel at night, when the orioles are singing and the flowers are blooming. Many people worry about old age, and you don’t know how broken your heart is!"
This time, the singing stopped first. The music continued to play intermittently, like a wisp of lovesickness, slowly surrounding people, hugging them tightly, slowly seeping into the heart, and slowly tying a piece of flesh in the heart,
Tie it tightly. It can't be untied and it can't be cut off.
Except for the a cappella song "Chilechuan", the other two songs were ones that Wang Xun had long been tired of listening to. But listening to them through a bamboo forest now had a different feeling. Especially the line "A man is sitting in a brothel"
"At night, when the orioles sing and the flowers bloom." It is simply talking about Bai Yuzhi herself, trapped alone in Jinhua Tower, waiting for her sweetheart to take her away from this place of fireworks as soon as possible.
Just as I was thinking about it, another tune was played on the other side of the bamboo forest. Bai Yuzhi played the piano by herself and sang quietly: "I advise you not to cherish your gold-threaded clothes. I advise you to cherish your youth. When the flowers bloom, they need to be broken. Don't wait."
No flowers, nothing but broken branches..."
The singer has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Through a clump of quiet green bamboos, he is already infatuated.
Note 1: Pingkangli is a famous fireworks place in Chang'an City. It is said that in ancient times, if a woman with fireworks picked up a boy, it was considered a good omen. Usually she would not take money from the other party, but would give him a small gift.
Red envelope.
Note 2: Auntie is the bustard mother. The auntie in Bai Juyi's poem "My brother left to join the army and my aunt died, and the color of my life is gone in the morning and evening" refers to this type of woman who makes a living.
