Chapter six hundred and ninetieth beauty on the side
Yuan Zai opened the partition door of the inner room. Xiao Hua was lying on the couch and sleeping with his clothes on, holding a book in his hand and taking a nap.
He said to him with a frivolous expression: "It seems that you won't be able to rest tonight. We are ready to enjoy the ultimate happiness in the world."
Xiao Hua threw down the book and propped himself up to sit cross-legged, looking at him sarcastically: "You and I have heavy responsibilities and should be cautious at all times. Before the monopoly fraud case of the Pepper Trading Road is investigated, any hedonistic behavior should be
put an end to."
Yuan Zai smiled but said nothing and handed over the jute paper with the letter written on it.
Xiao Hua held the jute paper in his hand and gradually crumpled it into a ball. He snorted coldly and said: "The person behind the scenes finally couldn't bear to show his face. This Zhang family of Dunhuang is a wealthy family in Hexi. He has inherited poems and books."
There is also a wealthy businessman who is also a very powerful person. Unexpectedly, he also joined the Western Region Chamber of Commerce. As expected, the world is declining and people's hearts are not as good as before."
"It's useless to sigh here. You can tell us whether we should go to the so-called Hongmen Banquet or not."
"Go, why don't you go? I want to see what this Hexi tycoon is capable of first."
Yuan Zai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. A banquet could not explain or replace anything, but it could satisfy his thirsty curiosity. Chuiyuefang in Dunhuang has long been famous. As a man, how could he not go there?
Through fire and water?
The two of them put on the clothes of ordinary merchants, walked out of the inn when the sky was dim, and headed towards the brightly lit Chuiyuefang in the city.
It is rare to see willow trees with silk-like leaves in the sandbank area, but there are quite a few standing inside the walls of Chuiyue Square. The branches sway gently in the summer wind at night.
The structure and distribution of Chuiyue Fang and Chang'an Pingkangfang are roughly the same, except that there are no other buildings except brothels, and the distribution is also polarized. The brothels in the far north are all women selling meat at low prices.
Zhongqu is a little more high-end. Only wealthy businessmen can afford to go in and out. Some beauties have begun to respect their status and have stopped accepting guests and started to show off their coquettishness.
Nanqu, on the other hand, is a gathering place for dignitaries. Several beautiful and intellectual people all know that they all have special skills, whether they are masters of playing the pipa, or their dancing skills are first-rate and astound everyone, or they are brilliant in literary talent and speak well.
Or the singing voice is as melodious as an oriole singing a cappella.
Among them, Muzhuang Pavilion, the most famous one, gathered three of them. Countless wealthy and intelligent people came here because of it, but were politely turned away. Instead, they inspired their ambition to enter the pavilion to see what was going on.
Recently, Muzhuang Pavilion was bought by a big boss of the Western Region Chamber of Commerce, which reduced its external entertainment, making Muzhuang Pavilion an unattainable holy land of romance in the eyes of thousands of romantic travelers in Hexi.
Xiao Hua and Yuan Zai followed the willow trees by the road to the entrance of the courtyard of Muzhuang Pavilion. Outside the door were dozens of wealthy guests holding letters to deliver, but they both looked up among the crowd with empty hands.
Standing at the door of the courtyard were two men wearing brown long jackets, with strong bodies like door gods, guarding both sides. The side door opened with a creak, and a charming woman in her mid-teens walked out, speaking to everyone in a soft voice.
: "Everyone, please go back. Our boss is here to entertain distinguished guests tonight."
The wealthy guests sighed and left, lowering their heads and walking around Xiao Hua and Yuan Zai, who were still standing in front of the door. Xiao Hua hesitated for a moment and was about to turn around and leave, but Yuan Zai's eyes were eager to try.
The Qingli woman lowered her waist and saluted the two of them and said, "Are you the Xiao guest and the Yuan guest? My master is hosting a banquet in the hotel, please come with me."
The two looked at each other and followed the woman into the courtyard of Muzhuang Pavilion. The courtyard occupies a large area and is in an irregular hexagonal shape. It is surrounded by inverted pavilions and courtyard walls. There is a pool of clear water in the center, and even
There is also the sound of gurgling water. Opposite the pool is the Cui Pavilion, the main building of Muzhuang Pavilion. At this moment, there is a faint clear song coming from the pavilion, and the singing is as loud as smoke, and it is really like no one has heard it.
The voice of the singer in the pavilion should be Wang Wei's Weicheng Song. Although there are only four lines of poems, it is sung with such a layered sense that Yuan Zai was a little obsessed with it.
The woman turned around and glanced at the expressions of the two of them. Yuan Zai was left with a hint of frivolity in the corner of her eyes. She pointed at the stone arch bridge flying across the pond and said, "Please."
Xiao Hua freed his ears from the voice and asked the woman in a low voice: "I heard that your employer is the Western Region Chamber of Commerce?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My guest, you think highly of us. The Western Region Chamber of Commerce is as high as the sky to us. How dare we, a few low-born girls who entertain people with their sounds and sex, dare to do this?"
Boss?"
When they arrived at the next door, a calm man's voice immediately came from inside: "Ms. Wei, have you invited two distinguished guests?"
"Here." Madam Wei bowed across the window sash and opened the partition with both hands.
The head of the younger generation of the Zhang family in Dunhuang stood at the door holding a swan tail. He was dressed elegantly in white and said with a hint of hospitality in his laughter: "It's great that Zhang Kuo can expect these two eminent sages to come to the banquet."
My face is brighter."
Xiao Hua retorted: "Brother Zhang is from a prominent family in Dunhuang. How dare we not give you this face?"
"Haha, take a seat quickly."
Yuan Zai did not have Xiao Hua's social connections with the upper class. He only knew that the smiling Zhang Kuo was a local snake. No, local snakes are not enough to explain the power of the Zhang family in Hexi. They are the horned dragons entrenched in Dunhuang. They are
Can two river-crossing dragons fight against such a horned dragon tonight?
The two were invited to the seat, and immediately two beautiful women with tulle draped over their shoulders sat beside them, holding wine bottles in their hands, and poured wine for them with smiles on their lips.
Zhang Kuo introduced with a smile: "You two are blessed today. Do you know who the two beauties accompanying you are? They are the two of the Four Wonders of Chuiyuefang who are famous all over Hexi. The singer Qingyun, the dancer Huayue,
The combination of singing and dancing is even more stunning! They admire the talents of these two Shangguan, so they recommended themselves to come here. Don't let the beauties live up to your expectations."
Yuan Zai lowered his head to look. Qingyun held the wine cup in both hands and handed it to him. Her face was as beautiful as a white peony in full bloom. The woman lowered her brows shyly. I felt pity for this charming posture, which was far better than the yellow faces at home.
How could Yuan Zai not be tempted by Po Wang Yunxiu?
He grabbed Qingyun's Qianqiansu hand, causing the wine in the wine cup she was holding to sway and splash onto the back of her white hand.
Yuan Zai took the opportunity to bite the wine cup, raised his head and poured the wine into his throat. He actually pulled the back of her hand over and sucked the wine on it, causing the back of Qingyun's hand to tremble and quickly retracted.
Xiao Hua sat aside with an upright attitude, indifferently turning a blind eye to the beauties around him urging him to drink. This was not only because of his high moral standards, but more importantly because the beauty of his beautiful concubine was comparable to that of Hua Yue in front of him, so his immunity was quite high.
So when he noticed Yuan Zai next to him, his expression showed contempt and helplessness. He was simply a lustful person. He knew that this was a beauty trap staged by the Western Region Chamber of Commerce, but he was still full of lust.
.
He coughed heavily to remind Yuan Zai. Only then did Yan Sizhi realize what he was doing. He quickly sat upright and his demeanor became much calmer.
Zhang Kuo sat on the main seat, taking in all the little emotions and movements of the two people, and he already understood it in his heart.
He raised the wine cup and toasted to the two of them: "Come, Mr. Xu Guogong and Mr. Yuan Sizhi, please drink this cup to the full."
"Okay, okay." Yuan Zai was distracted, holding the wine cup in both hands and raising his head to drink. Xiao Hua raised his sleeves to block the wine cup, and also raised his head to drink.
The beauty Hua Yue shook the gauze, revealing her round and white shoulders. She picked up the wine bottle and poured wine into Xiao Hua's wine cup, but he stretched out his palm to hold it down. The flute player did not look away, even if the beauty was beside him.
There was absolutely no trace of greed. He faced Zhang Kuo and said, "Brother Zhang Shi, the reason you invited us here today is not just to treat us to a drink. You must have other things to say. Why don't you tell me in a hurry?"
