Under the leadership of Lu Shaolin, everyone walked into Yichun Courtyard in a familiar way and bypassed the large courtyard where a dance performance was being performed.
The big courtyard is for ordinary people to watch the fun, and it is also used for newcomers to gain popularity.
If you want to see the real stuff, you still have to go into the flower building in the small courtyard.
Entering the small courtyard, the old mother standing at the door of the courtyard burst into laughter when she saw Master Lu: "Master Lu is here, Yan Hong has been thinking about you for several days."
Lu Shaolin laughed and said to his old mother: "If she misses me so much, then I will redeem her tonight."
"Oh, look what you said. Yan Hong is able to marry Mr. Lu, which is a blessing that cannot be achieved in a few lifetimes. It's just." The old mother waved the fragrant handkerchief in her hand and said, "If you really marry her, you will have a yellow face."
Damn it. Home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers."
When Lu Shaolin heard this, he also laughed.
As for redemption, my mother will definitely not let go of this kind of money tree; for a veteran like Lu Shaolin, it is good to change the taste from time to time, and there is no need to keep it at home.
Everyone is talking politely, just to liven up the atmosphere.
Lu Shaolin ignored his old mother. He led everyone very casually into the flower building with bright lights and fragrant breeze, then passed through the foyer and walked towards the back hall.
In the foyer just now, many guests were already hugging each other.
But the strange thing is that there are a group of guests sitting in the back hall.
This group of guests are all neatly dressed, sitting in extremely dignified postures, with expressions of indifference, some expectations, or solemnity and arrogance on their faces.
These guests sit in such a place of pleasure and are incompatible with their surroundings.
Huang Xiaoshi took a few more curious glances, and the scholar explained with a smile: "Those are all lining up to see Miss Xiang'er."
"Ah? We still have to queue up to pick up customers at the brothel?" Huang Xiaoshi was shocked when he heard this.
Is the business in this Jiangnan place so good?
When Lu Shaolin heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He said: "Brother Huang, these people are lining up to pass the four levels of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If anyone can pass these four levels tonight, it will be first come, first served."
Lu Shaolin said this with a longing look on his face. He sighed and said: "I have climbed the stairs thirty-seven times, but I have never been able to see Miss Xiang'er. Alas, I have no confidence to climb the stairs again."
Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and Lu Shaolin turned his head, stared at Weiming with piercing eyes and said, "I heard that my little brother was also present when Yaksha made a big banquet of heroes.
how?
Isn’t that Yaksha beautiful?
I heard that Yasha was rated as one of the three most beautiful women in the Wulin Tongjian Beauty Chapter. I am so envious of my little brother for being able to see her beauty.
It's such a pity and hateful, why wasn't I there then..."
When Lu Shaolin said this, Balabala couldn't stop. Weiming and Huang Xiaoshi were both confused.
What Wei Ming was confused about was that he didn't expect this friend Lu to be such a horny person. Judging from his age, he was about the same age as himself and could not surpass Brother Xiaoshi, but he was already a veteran of flowers.
Huang Xiaoshi was confused that Yasha could be ranked in the top three, just like that. Now he was curious about who the first two were.
…
Xu Ziyi said that the "Three Wonders in the World" are different from the "Top Ten Beauties in the Martial Arts".
[Top Ten Beauties in the Martial Arts] focuses on timeliness and is based on the currently single martial arts beauties, ranked from top to bottom in order of appearance.
But the "Three Wonders of the World" are different. Regardless of whether you are married or not, your current appearance is evaluated based on your peak appearance.
According to Xu Ziyi's standards, there are only three beauties in the martial arts who can achieve the evaluation of "absolute".
These three are Yaksha, Gandharva and Xiaoxiao.
Among them, Yaksha and Gandharva both exist on the list of "Top Ten Beauties in the Martial Arts", which means that they are unmarried and ready to be married, and their current looks are pretty good, while Xiaoxiao has withdrawn from the list of "Top Ten Beauties in the Martial Arts".
The reason is simple, Xiaoxiao is already over 70 years old.
Xiaoxiao is Wuxiazi's junior sister and the source of Xuan Mingzi's final mental breakdown.
The reason is that Xuan Mingzi also had a crush on Xiaoxiao back then, but Xiaoxiao liked Wuxiazi.
Speaking of which, Wu Xiazi was indeed slightly better than Xuan Mingzi in all aspects. In the competition between the two, Xuan Mingzi lost cleanly.
In the end, Xuan Mingzi willingly gave up his junior sister Xiaoxiao to his senior brother Wu Xiazi.
As a result, Wu Xiazi changed hands and gave Xiaoxiao to He Aotian, the current head of the Tianshan Sect, He Weifeng's grandfather.
Because of this incident, Xuan Mingzi finally became furious.
How could you give up my beloved, Xuan Mingzi, to others!
It must be noted that when Wu Xiazi was still a third-generation disciple, Tianshan Lingjiu Palace was still very powerful, and Xiaoyao Valley was just a small branch.
He Aotian was one of the most talented people of his generation. He was so powerful that Lingjiu Palace had to actively win over him.
It is unknown what Wuxiazi considered at that time, but in Xuan Mingzi's view, Wuxiazi sold Xiaoxiao in exchange for the position of head of Xiaoyao Valley.
He Aotian has been buried for many years, and Xuan Mingzi transferred this hatred to Wu Xiazi. He still hates him now, and the older he gets, the more extreme he becomes.
Times have changed.
Decades passed, and the humble Xiaoyao Valley emerged.
And the Tianshan Lingjiu Palace, even if it merged with the Kunlun Sect to form the Tianshan Sect through an in-law relationship, it would not be able to escape the fate of decline.
Things are so unpredictable.
But only the hatred from that time continues to this day.
…
Seeing the confused faces of Huang Xiaoshi and Huang Xiaoshi in front of him, Lu Shaolin showed a mysterious smile and said: "Looking at the expressions of the two of you, are you both still young?"
Wei Ming nodded sheepishly, and Huang Xiaoshi looked back with dull eyes. Oh, it seems that this body is really the same. He almost forgot about it.
This is not to say that Huang Xiaoshi is as reserved as jade. In this world where money can do whatever he wants, it is too easy to open a harem.
Isn't that because he has a bit of an ED and is not interested in seeing women?
Bah, it’s not ED, it’s just because those people are of such poor quality that Huang Xiaoshi really has no interest in them.
Lu Shaolin really burst out laughing. He laughed wildly and said: "It's really rare in a thousand years that I met two junior brothers today. I have to ask a few close sisters to accompany you."
When Huang Xiaoshi heard this, he looked as if he was about to do a scientific research and verification work with rigor and seriousness, and was ready to witness it with his own eyes.
Unknown, his face turned red and he waved his hands quickly.
Lu Shaolin looked at Weiming's embarrassment and said amusedly: "Could it be that this little brother doesn't like these vulgar fans and only wants the girl Xiang'er."
When Weiming was told this, his movements became even more chaotic, and he said in a panic: "The gentlemen who taught me piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not for this purpose."
Alas, the scholar doesn't like hearing this.
The scholar picked up the folding fan in his hand and knocked it on Wei Ming's head, saying: "Everyone calls him a 'romantic and talented man'. If he is a true talent, how can he not be a romantic man? I think back then, I was very handsome."
Go, you boy must go!"
Wei Ming still wanted to shirk it, but Dan Qing also said: "The gentlemen have been teaching you for so long. If you can't even pass this small test, your learning will be in vain."
Both gentlemen have said so. To refuse without knowing clearly would be showing cowardice.
He went ahead and Wei Ming also queued up. He looked back and waved to Huang Xiaoshi.
"This?" Huang Xiaoshi was still somewhat self-aware, and he shook his head towards Weiming.
Let’s not talk about my level of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so what if I can pass the four levels of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The man upstairs is a performer but not a person, so it would be more practical to hug him directly down there.
Suddenly, Huang Xiaoshi thought of a classic statement about "selling one's art but not one's body", which was what Leopard Tou said to the madam when he forced his way into Ruyan's room, "If I don't give you money after playing, it doesn't count as selling."
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoshi became uneasy. He turned around and asked Lu Shaolin: "What if someone doesn't want to pass these four levels and forces his way in?"
Lu Shaolin said thoughtfully: "This kind of thing doesn't happen. In the end, they were all fished out from the lotus pond next to the building.
Some were drowned, but most were still alive.
Asked them, they couldn't remember what happened to them, they just remembered that they were going upstairs and were already soaking in the pool when they woke up."
Huang Xiaoshi nodded after hearing this. Gandharva, one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, is not that easy to have sex for free.
…
Wei Ming went to line up obediently, and Master Lu made a sudden move. The madam naturally caught his eye and saw several pretty girls surrounding him.
The scholar and Danqing were naturally not polite. They each took one of them into their arms and began to raise and lower their hands.
Huang Xiaoshi looked around carefully and said that all of these girls looked pretty good. Compared to the aunties in Luoyang, they were at least relatively young.
However, these women are limited by the times, and the limit is right here. Whether it is appearance, figure, clothing, or appearance, they are still a few hundred million points away from the passing line in Huang Xiaoshi's heart.
As a result, Huang Xiaoshi's curiosity disappeared immediately. He randomly ordered a girl and asked her to sit next to him and serve him tea and wine, without making any other move.
After a while, a well-dressed and extremely beautiful woman came over and sat directly in Lu Shaolin's arms.
Huang Xiaoshi took a casual look and realized that this must be the Yanhong girl. This one was of high quality and was more than one level better than the ones around him.
Lu Shaolin held the wine glass in one hand and hugged the beauty with the other. He laughed and said: "Brother Huang, don't be restrained. Let's let go and play. All the debts tonight will be mine."
After Huang Xiaoshi smiled slightly, he reached out and took a Soviet-style snack from the table.
I have to say that the quality of this store is indeed high, and the dim sum is better than what is served in other stores.
When Lu Shaolin saw Huang Xiaoshi concentrating on eating cakes, he laughed wildly on the surface, but it was unknown what he was thinking in his heart.
Huang Xiaoshi concentrated on eating the cake, and he was not blind.
Huang Xiaoshi clearly felt that although the three people in front of him were holding the beauty in their arms and doing various inappropriate actions, their eyes were wandering and their thoughts were not here at all.
The reason for going to the brothel together before taking action should not be simply to relax. If they are not waiting for someone more important, then they are waiting for some signal.
Indeed, the scholar and his party were waiting for a key signal, or they did not want to wait for this signal.
Once this signal appears, tonight's operation must be canceled urgently.
the other side.
The queue for Wei Ming was not long. Although everyone's time was different, they were all excited when they went up and dejected when they came down.
Inexplicably, Weiming also became nervous. He learned acrobatics from a few people in Wangyou Valley, which only lasted two months. He was really unsure of his level.
Seeing these young men who were stronger than him in any case being defeated one after another, he, a country boy wearing a rough cloth and playing shorts, had to say that he was not panicking, that would be a ghost.
Again, Weiming has always been with peerless masters, so he has a very serious deviation in his understanding of his own level.
Finally, it was Wei Ming's turn, the last guest tonight.
With an anxious mood, Weiming climbed up to the wooden building. When he opened the door, he saw a woman in colorful clothes sitting at the table playing the piano.
When Weiming saw the woman and heard the sound of the piano, he was a little stunned.
"Such a wonderful sound of the piano. This girl is beautiful, elegant and virtuous, and has superb piano skills. Her whole body exudes an aura of worldliness. Could it be that this is the legendary girl Xiang'er... She is so beautiful."
Weiming stood blankly at the door and listened to the entire piano music quietly.
After playing the piano for a while, Weiming was still standing at the door, so the girl spoke: "Master, why don't you sit down and talk?"
Wei Ming clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiang'er. The song just now was really nice, and I was fascinated by it the next time. Please forgive me." After saying that, he hurriedly walked over in two steps and sat down on the stool.
As soon as Wei Ming sat down, he saw the girl staring at him and laughing, which made his heart pound. As a result, the girl said: "I am just a maid of low status. I suddenly played the piano in front of the master today. I still want to invite you."
Sir, please forgive me."
This woman's name is Su San, and she is the gatekeeper of the four levels of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The handsome young man who came just now was good-looking, but when he played the piano, he really hurt her ears.
So, Su San couldn't help it anymore, she played a song by herself, and then her ears were restored.
Unexpectedly, this young man who came to break through the test listened carefully to the music he was playing.
This kid is so stupid.
Su San said to Wei Ming: "Young master, if you want to meet Miss Xiang'er, you must pass the four levels of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Please start."
When Wei Ming heard this, all the nervousness he felt when he first went upstairs disappeared. He stood up and saluted Su San and said, "I just listened to the girl's song, and I agree with her, so I will play a show of shame first."
Su San had already stood up to give up his seat, and Wei Ming sat in front of the piano. He touched it casually and listened to the sound of each string, then took a deep breath and started playing the piano.
A melodious sound of piano came down from upstairs, and the originally noisy Pink Square suddenly became quiet.
I've never heard this song before, I'm afraid it was improvised.
The sound of the piano is melodious and fresh, and refined and exciting. Even people who don't understand music can't help but shake their heads when they hear it.
"Although I can't see Miss Xiang'er, once I hear Miss Xiang'er playing this song, today's visit will not be in vain." A young man who just came downstairs in defeat didn't care about the girl beside him, who was listening to the music and shaking his head.
said.
Su San was extremely surprised at this time.
This seemingly rustic young man has such superb piano skills that he is not only a member of the royal family, but can also be called everyone.
What's even more rare is that his music echoes the music he just played, but it's less resentful and more passionate.
After finishing the song, Weiming stood up and saluted Su San: "Miss Su San, is my song good?"
This question made Su San wake up from her aftertaste. She bowed to Wei Minghan and said, "Young Master is very good at playing the piano. Su San has already passed this test."
After saying that, Su San continued: "Master, wait a moment, I'm going to ask Miss Xiang'er to come out."
When Wei Ming heard it, he thought it was not about the four levels of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why did he only play one song and then it was over?
Seeing Weiming's confused look, Su San said to him: "Those who can pass the four levels of music, chess, calligraphy and painting can naturally meet Miss Xiang'er. But if there is one skill that is amazing, there is no need to pass the other three skills."
After that, Su San turned around and left.
Wei Ming was naturally very happy at this time. He suddenly thought, yes, he should go back and tell the scholar and Dan Qing that with their talents, they can also meet Miss Xiang'er.
Weiming hadn't been sitting for long when he saw a woman walking towards him. Weiming quickly got up to bow.
At just a quick glance, Weiming felt that this girl Xiang'er was not as beautiful as Su San. But after raising her head and taking a few more glances, she felt that Xiang'er's temperament was far superior to Su San's. After looking at Xiang'er a few more times, Su San's beauty was obvious.
There is no taste anymore.
When the young man in front of him raised his head, Xiang'er was surprised at how he looked so similar to that man.
Xiang'er did not lose her composure because of this. She bowed to Weiming and said, "Xiang'er has met the young master."
Weiming quickly returned the courtesy and said, "Dongfang Weiming has met Miss Xiang'er."
The East is unknown?
Xiang'er remembered that Ayao had told herself that if the baby was a boy, he would be called Dongfang Weiming, and if it was a girl, she would be called Dongfang Weixi.
Could it be that this is really their child?
Xiang'er sat in front of the piano, caressed her back, and sang while playing. In the sound of the piano, she seemed to have returned to the past, when her good sister Ayao also sat at the table and listened to her playing the piano.
"Xiang'er, you play the piano very well. If I have a child, I will definitely let him learn the piano from you."
The past is like smoke.
The old friend turned into a handful of soil, Xiang'er also became a Gandharva, and she no longer had the carefree heart to play music like before.
How can one be young at heart? Things in the world make people grow old.
