Qi Xuansu could only be said to be aware of the plans of Master Qingwei and the Imperial Master, but he had no idea to what extent they were carried out and in what manner.
It’s no wonder that he is not in the Taiping Tao camp, nor is he a high-level person. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, he is already a high-level person in the Taoist sect. But Qi Xuansu knows his own family affairs. When will he remove the word "vice"
, can be regarded as the real high-level Taoist sect. Of course, the deputy head master Da Zhenren is not within the scope of this "vice".
In fact, this is also reasonable. The various deputy hall masters, deputy palace masters, plus the assistant ministers, or deputy palace masters, add up to several hundred people, while the number of full-time officials does not exceed forty.
From deputy to chief, it seems that there is only a difference of one level, but in fact there is a difference of four or five levels, and the threshold of Jinque runs across it.
Even after entering Jinque, Zhenzhi Zhenren is still secretly divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The chief palace is higher than the palm palace, and the palm hall is higher than the palm palace. If there is no chief counselor Zhenren, the second Zhanzhi Zhenren is
This kind of bonus is similar to that of a prince, but it is even lower than that of Pingzhang Dazhen. Above Pingzhang Dazhen there is the deputy head master Da Zhen, and after the deputy head master Dazhen is the great master.
There are thousands of miles between Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu and the Grand Master.
After finishing the day's routine, Qi Xuansu asked Zhang Yuelu to go to Xiujing City for a walk. The two of them had been in Fenglinzhou for so long, but they had never seen the Xiujing City properly.
The ancient cities in the Central Plains were divided into areas based on squares and cities, such as the twenty-four squares in Yujing and Taiqing City. The city in Fenglinzhou was divided into towns, and its meaning was roughly similar to squares and streets.
There is a town in Xiujing called Kabuki. It originated more than a hundred years ago, a few decades after the fall of the Wei Dynasty, probably during the Taizong period of the Daxuan Dynasty. Its ancestor was named Aguo. Kabuki III
The word "ge" is borrowed from Chinese characters, and its original meaning is "tilt", because there is a strange movement during the performance. Later it was given the nickname "Kabuki". Song means music, dance means dance, and Ji means performance skills.
Because Kabuki performances were deeply rooted in the folk and were very popular among the people, women from all over Fenglinzhou imitated Aguo and competed to perform Kabuki. Some warriors fought for these women and even killed each other.
Later, Daomen broke the isolation of Fenglinzhou and brought all kinds of new things. Kabukicho further developed and almost became a city that never sleeps, known as the street that never sleeps.
Of course, Kabukicho is said to be a song and dance performance on the surface, but in fact everyone knows exactly what is going on. The oirans on the Qinhuai River are still very particular about performing arts and not selling themselves. But then again, if they don't sell themselves, those samurai will
Why fight over a woman?
In the past, Daomen has always been dissatisfied with this place.
An attitude of indifference. However, as Daomen prepares to end his life in person, many people begin to worry about the fate of Kabukicho, because Daomen is known to like to rectify the atmosphere, and often uses thunderous means to clean up the muddy water, even to the point where there is no one in Yujing City.
Qi Xuansu himself had done such a feat.
It's just that the Taoist sect doesn't have the energy to pay attention to these small things now, so this sleepless street remains the same. No matter how war is raging outside, this place is still in a state of dissipation and wealth.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu's goal today is this sleepless street. Of course, not all of them are brothels and other places. There are also some pubs, places that specialize in Fenglinzhou folk dances, and other places for fun.
Zhang Yuelu is not disgusted with this kind of place, and was even very curious about this kind of place. It was Zhang Yuelu who took the initiative to see Li Qingnu's performance. This is also where Zhang Yuelu is more unusual. If she was born a man, she would probably be a chic one.
Unruly character.
The two of them changed into casual clothes and came to Kabukicho. They randomly found a place to watch a kabuki performance, and then discovered that the dancing woman was actually played by a man. It was undeniable that the man playing the woman was more charming than the woman.
Every move, every move, every frown, every smile, she was more slender and softer than an ordinary woman, but the two of them still felt a little weird.
Is it true that all art in this world consists of men pretending to be women?
Moreover, the makeup looked a bit like whitewashing the walls, and the two of them couldn't accept it.
So the two of them changed venues and wandered around on the street.
Although the place was a mixed bag, and the two of them had changed into casual clothes, the aura that belonged to Taoist people still kept all kinds of young people at a distance, and they did not dare to come forward to provoke them, so no one with a blind eye came to tease Zhang Yuelu.
Things naturally did not give Qi Xuansu a chance to show off his skills.
Of course, the most likely thing is that Zhang Yuelu can solve the problem by herself. She will not pretend to be weak. She always responds head-on and attacks all kinds of provocations. Li Tianzhen and Xu Kou were both the ones who were severely beaten.
Finally, the two found a tavern and planned to try Fenglinzhou's sake and shochu.
I just didn't expect that this tavern has a hidden secret. In addition to selling wine, it also functions as a half-gambling house. It only gambles on some special things, such as chess, cards, etc., which can be considered unique.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu wanted to simply drink a little
I was drinking, but I didn't expect that there happened to be a group of people from the Taoist sect playing cards here. It was no one else. It was Cheng Lixue, Qi Xuansu's senior brother in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace.
Cheng Lixue was also shocked when she saw Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.
He was not a woman, so he couldn't say how much he admired the famous Zhang Yuelu. He probably remembered the time when he pimped Qi Xuansu. At this time, seeing the real master of the palace, he felt a little guilty.
In addition to the men like Cheng Lixue, there are also several women, including Jiang Ye, Song Yu and others. Now it seems that they are in the same circle. The ultimate level of this circle is probably Li Tianzhen or Li Zhuyu, who can come into contact with them.
Li Changge and Qi Xuansu were really surprised.
Qi Xuansu could not turn a blind eye, so he could only say hello and introduced Cheng Lixue and Song Yu to Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu knew about Song Yu's existence, but he was not wary or hostile. The two were not rivals at all, just like Master Qingwei did not regard Yao Pei and Zhang Yuelu as opponents. His only opponents were Master Donghua and Cihang.
Real person. But Zhang Yuelu looked at Cheng Lixue with a sharp look, which made Cheng Lixue, who was already guilty, even more guilty.
Jiang Ye and Song Yu both wore the popular turbans in the imperial capital today, with straight collars and double breasts, slits at the armpits, and waist-length skirts. Women did not wear middle coats, only the main waist, and the outer turbans would expose a piece of white on the chest.
It's greasy and has quite a legacy of Sheng Qi.
In terms of dress alone, Zhang Yuelu is extremely conservative. Not to mention her chest, not even much of her neck can be seen. But even so, Zhang Yuelu's brilliance easily overwhelms the two of them. She is the flower, and the two of them can only
It's green leaves.
After a brief greeting, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu went to another table.
Cheng Lixue was a little distracted. Of course, he was not fascinated by Zhang Yuelu. He was not Li Tianzhen, let alone Qi Xuansu. He would only stay away from women like Zhang Yuelu. He was just uneasy in his heart. Could this Junior Brother Qi be so unhelpful?
Could it be that he had done all the tricks? If not, why did the daughter of the Zhang family look at her with a slightly murderous look?
Jiang Ye was a little absent-minded, occasionally glancing at the backs of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, with mixed emotions. The last time she separated from Li Changge, she knew the fact that she couldn't catch Li Changge, and the young master of the Li family had no interest in her. But this generation's
Among the Taoist sect's favorites, the yin rises and the yang wanes. Among the three Taoist disciples, only Li Changge is a man, and the remaining two are women. Further down, there is the sudden rise of Qi Xuansu, but it is a pity that the famous flower has its owner. I think so, Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei
If you want to get married, of course you can't marry anyone at will. They are also more qualified and confident to choose a man. The battle between Zhang and Li is endless.
After hundreds of years, it would naturally be impossible to get married, and that would be Qi Xuansu.
As for Song Yu, he was even more silent.
She knew the details of Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu also knew the details of hers. She used to be called Song Nianhao, and she was Qi Xuansu's senior sister, but now she was Song Yu. She didn't believe that Qi Xuansu wouldn't think too much about it.
She obviously didn't owe Qi Xuansu anything, but after seeing Qi Xuansu, she felt a sense of fear that her old story would be revealed.
The panic was mixed with a bit of regret.
What do you regret?
Do you regret that you didn’t have the insight to recognize talents?
If she had taken a step forward when this junior brother was still a blank piece of paper, would she be the one sitting next to him today?
There is a story in the West called The Biggest Ear of Wheat. A Western philosopher asked his disciples to pick the biggest ear of wheat in the wheat field, but they could only pick it once. The disciples picked and picked, but they always felt that there were bigger ears of wheat behind.
, and ended up empty-handed.
If she picks and chooses, will she end up empty-handed?
Of course, Qi Xuansu never meant this. To use a common saying, he came to his senses a little late, so he showed no pretense to a beauty like Yue Liuli. After he came to his senses, he was stingy with feelings and refused to give easily.
.In the process of his relationship with Zhang Yuelu, it was Zhang Yuelu who took the initiative and finally got to where he is today. If he had waited for Qi Xuansu to take the initiative, it would have been basically impossible.
Thinking of this, Song Yu glanced at Cheng Lixue subconsciously. He was also a relatively large wheat ear, but unfortunately he was not the biggest wheat ear. If she had not met Qi Xuansu today, then she might be tempted, but after meeting Qi Xuansu, she
I feel like it’s nothing more than that.
Once upon a time, it was difficult to find water in the sea.
Women are always vain, more beautiful than men. Seeing Zhang Yuelu today brought Song Yu a huge sense of frustration, which even made her dare not think of any provocation, and this kind of frustration made Song Yu want to think more.
To grab something.
This is what is called a sense of security, but when a woman wants to seek a sense of security, she has undoubtedly lost to Zhang Yuelu.
After Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu finished drinking, they felt a little itch and played a few cards. After all, Zhang Yuelu was not Yao Pei. He and Qi Xuansu had a win-or-lose relationship. There was also a lottery between the two, a Taiping money. In the end, Qi Xuansu made a net profit of Taiping.
money.
After the two paid the bill, they left together and continued their night stroll through the sleepless streets.
Song Yu glanced at the two people's leaving figures, sighed softly, and his eyes were filled with sadness.
