Chapter 66: Incense Illusory Pavilion
The willows are leisurely in the evening, and the oblique sun ripples reflect the beams. Jiang Chen and Wei Chide, who had been playing in Feng'an City for a day, were sitting on the bank of the Xin River resting, and there were hanging willow branches brushing overhead. Today, after the two of them made an appointment to buy some items that they would need in the army, they thought that they would definitely not come back in a few years, so they went around the places they had visited in their childhood and the snacks they had eaten together in this day. Sitting on the bank of the river, both of them missed Yue Wujing a little.
Wei Chide's parents also did not agree with him to join the army, let alone leave Feng'an City to go to the border. But five days ago, Zhao Lingwu suddenly issued an order to summon the ministers of the court and the children of the Zhao clan between the ages of fifteen and eighteen in the Lingyuan, with as many as 500 people, to conduct military exercises, and finally selected a hundred teenagers from them to form a youth army called "Young Eagle Guard", including Wei Chide, but Jiang Chen did not participate in this selection. When Jiang Chen heard what his uncle had done, he instantly thought of Zhao Lingyun when he was leaving that night, and said that he was inspired by him to do something. Thinking of his unheard of position as "Young Eagle Captain", he already understood in his heart that after listening to Jiang Chen tell the whole story, Wei Chide jokingly asked Jiang Chen to cover him in the future, and gave him a small official title, and he had an official addiction.
Jiang Chen and the two sat idly for a while, looking at the water that had passed away, thinking that they were about to leave the country, but their hearts were suddenly a little vain. Looking at the sky, when Jiang Chen proposed to go back to their respective homes, Wei Chide seemed to suddenly think of something, and said with a mysterious and obscene smile: "Captain Jiang, my subordinates will take you to a good place, I heard that the people who entered the Eagle Guard this time are all gathering there today." ”
Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Where is it?"
"You'll know when you go, good place, you never been. As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Chen towards the north city of Feng'an City. Jiang Chen didn't know why, so he let Wei Chi drag him there.
The moon reflects the delicate flowers in a variety of colors, and the flowers set the wind into the nose. The small bridge is full of green bamboo, and I hear the sound of red dust. Laughter greets each other, and guests spend a lot of money. Sitting alone on the railing, grievances rise, and it is rare to meet a good person in life.
Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not beautiful for a thousand days. The dust is full of sparse curtains, and Gu Ying pities himself and remembers the sky. A few times I stole tears in my wet shirt, and suddenly heard the sound of a warbler and swallow into the window. Only hatred, turning into boredom, flowers blooming and falling is a common thing.
Jiang Chen followed Yu Chide to Baihua Lane in Beicheng, where the woman was dressed in pink clothes, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, teasing the men who came and went. Jiang Chen had never had such an experience, and his face was flushed when he was teased by those women, but he knew what this place was. I wanted to pull the red-faced Yu Chide to retreat, but Yu Chide was already familiar with the customs of this place in an instant, and instead pulled Jiang Chen straight to the most magnificent pavilion here, called the Incense Illusory Pavilion.
Jiang Chen's heart was also curious, as Wei Chide entered the fragrant illusory pavilion full of guests, Jiang Chen and the two didn't know where to go, the voices in the courtyard were chaotic, between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, there were men's frivolous words, and women's slight ** voices were all in their ears. I saw a young man who was not tall in shape, but had a delicate face, dressed in a black servant robe, and asked with a smile on his face: "The two sons are tight-faced, are you here for the first time?" The voice was shrill and thin, not like the voice of a normal teenager, I don't know if it has been castrated.
Wei Chide pretended to be calm and replied: "I heard that you are the most luxurious place to find incense in Feng'an City, and the two of them came here for the first time, but there is any good recommendation, not bad money." As he spoke, he took out a ten taels of Mithril ingots from his arms and threw it into the young man's hand, the smile on the face of the servant of the Xiangxu Pavilion became even bigger, Jiang Chen looked at this person with a thick scrutiny and a faint contempt in his smile, and looked at the eyes of the two like two fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
The servant inspected the clothes of Jiang Chen and the others, although the cut was simple, the clothes used were extraordinary. The accessories of the two teenagers are also so simple, but both in terms of craftsmanship and materials are extremely exquisite, and it is obvious that these two are the heirs of high-ranking officials. Looking at the two of them again, although they looked calm, it was obvious that they were young and came to this kind of place for the first time. Then he smiled and took Jiang Chen and the others to a box on the second floor, pushed the door in, and saw an extremely elegant room, and the chaotic sound after closing the door was much quieter.
The servant handed Jiang Chen and the others a booklet with "Flower Spectrum" written on it, and said, "Two sons, when you first came to my Illusory Pavilion, the villain recommended the most affordable package in the pavilion, called 'Shuangrui Qinxin'. ”
Wei Chide and Jiang Chen immediately turned the booklet to the page of 'Shuangrui Qinxin', only to see that the content on it contained wine and dishes, and two light and lovely women were also painted on it, with a look like spring water, with a pity and delicate color. There is also a content that introduces the talents of these two women, there are more than ten kinds of musical instruments, dances, etc., and the price is as high as 20,000 taels of Mithril. Yu Chide and Jiang Chen looked at each other for a while, and finally Yu Chide pretended to be old, closed the booklet and said: "That's it, if you dare to fool us, then don't blame the master, you're welcome." ”
The servant praised again and again: "How dare the villain deceive the two nobles......" said out of this room called "Songtao", went straight to the back garden of the Yixiang Illusory Pavilion, came to a remote room, walked into it, but saw two girls with faces of eighteen or nineteen years old were sitting at the table and chatting, the two looked slightly sad, and saw someone push the door in, the slightly older woman asked with a happy face: "Xiao Guizi, is there a guest ordering us?
The servant named Xiao Guizi nodded hurriedly and said, "Sister Ruixi, you two don't dare to beat a guest like last time." Last time, the cabinet master was lenient and did not punish you, but it took a lot of effort to calm down the turmoil. And the news of the two of you beating up guests has spread all over Kyoto, and there are rumors and rumors outside, but I won't say anything ugly, I believe the two sisters have also heard it. It's been months since I had a guest order the two of you, and this time I also seem to be two chicks, so I dare to recommend you to them, don't dare to mess up. Otherwise, when the cabinet master blames him, I will also be implicated. Then he told the two women about his observation of Jiang Chen's situation.
The woman named Ruixi stepped forward and stuffed a piece of Mithril into Xiao Guizi's arms, and said, "No, that time it was also Ruibei who was hit first by the perverted fat pig." Who knows that the fat pig has a lot of perverted ideas, but it is just an ordinary person with two stinky money, so he doesn't need to fight. ”
The woman named Ruibei said apologetically to Lan Xi next to her: "But it's my sister, my sister has earned a lot less with me this month." ”
"What are you talking about, we entered the Incense Illusory Pavilion in the same year, and we have always been like sisters, what is not involved. Tonight is the time for the two of us to regroup.,Recently, my sister has filled in a few new tunes.,The pavilion master heard it and said okay.,Let's have a good performance tonight.,Maybe tomorrow the two of us will move Kyoto.,It's better than the previous reputation.。 Rui Xi smiled and said to Rui Bei, the two picked up the instrument of dance and music, and followed Xiao Guizi as he walked to the room with the pine wood sign hanging, and Xiao Guizi retreated by himself.
When Rui Xiruibei knocked on the door and entered, Jiang Chen was talking to Wei Chide, but the wine and food that had been served on the table did not move at all. Looking at the two of them as if waiting for their arrival, the two were very surprised, they had never encountered this situation, Rui Bei looked at Jiang Chen and the others who looked like they were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and there was a little warmth in their hearts, this was a feeling of being respected. Seeing that Sister Ruixi had stepped forward and sat down next to the slightly sturdy young man, she was very grateful, and she did have some resistance to this size of the guest. Then he walked to the position next to Jiang Chen and sat down, seeing that the look of the young man next to him was a little more nervous than the young man next to him, and he didn't feel a little funny. At first glance, these two teenagers looked like they were from a noble family, but they didn't seem to have experienced anything between men and women. And a teenager like them may have already done things with the maids around them, and some of them are frequent visitors to Fengyue places, and a teenager like Jiang Chen and the others has never met Shuangrui.
Shuangrui didn't mean to bully, and did his duty to pour wine and food for Jiang Chen and the others, but the two teenagers stopped them again and again, and bluntly said that they would eat together. Ruixi felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, and asked without words, "The two sons are coming to this Phantom Pavilion for the first time?"
Wei Chide pretended to be and said, "It's the first time I've come here, but the reputation of your Illusory Pavilion has been heard for a long time. The two of us are here today, so don't let us go home disappointed. ”
Jiang Chen just nodded stiffly and did not speak. Rui Xi and Rui Bei picked up their wine glasses and touched them with Jiang Chen, and said with a light smile: "I promise to satisfy the two sons." ”
After the four of them drank the first glass of wine, Jiang Chen was still sitting in a proper manner as just now, and Yu Chi De's cheek was indeed in the same vein as Yu Chi Zhongming, although his words and body movements were also regular, but his expression had returned to normal. Rui Xijiao smiled and asked, "I don't know what to call the two sons?"
Yu Chi De smiled and said: "My surname is Wei Chi, his surname is Jiang, I don't know the surnames of the two sisters?" Rui Xi and Rui Bei glanced at each other, and after hearing that Yu Chi De introduced his surname "Wei Chi", the look in the eyes of the two was a little more vigorous than just now, and they all thought of Wei Chi Zhongming, the commander of the Imperial City Forbidden Army, because the surname "Wei Chi" was rare, and among the dignitaries and dignitaries in the huge Feng'an City, there was only one leader of Wei Chi. As for the surname "Jiang", the two of them can't think of any prominent figures with the surname "Jiang", the two of them have been locked in the boudoir in recent months, and they have rarely heard of the major events that have happened in Kyoto recently, and they don't know that Jiang Chen fought against Zang Shengdao in the Qianxin Hall some time ago. But Shuangrui didn't dare to despise Jiang Chen's identity, and could faintly sense that when the two of them got along on weekdays, it was this young man surnamed Jiang who made more decisions, so he could get a glimpse of Jiang Chen's identity.
Rui Xi listened to Wei Chi De ask his two names, and said with a sad smile: "My sisters are all lowly people, how can they have any surnames, the cheap name Rui Xi, this is my sister Rui Bei." ”
Jiang Chen looked left and right at Rui Xi and Rui Bei's faces and asked in surprise, "Are you sisters?"
Rui Bei chuckled and said, "Jiang Gongzi misunderstood, but Rui Xi and I are like sisters." Then he asked: "I don't know if Gongzi Wei Chi and Gongzi Jiang want to watch Sister Ruixi's dance first, or let me sing a song for the two sons first, so as to help the wine." ”
Jiang Chen then asked, "Aren't the two sisters together at the same time?" I just saw that the booklet was mostly singing and dancing by the two sisters working together, how did one person perform?"
Rui Bei pursed his lips and explained with a light smile: "Jiang Gongzi, it's just the beginning, and you have to leave one person to serve the two nobles." ”
Jiang Chen eats and dresses by himself on weekdays, and the rest of the things are also taken care of by Sister Xiangming herself, who knows that she needs someone to serve her after eating. Wei Chide looked at Jiang Chen, whose face was slightly red, and coughed dryly twice: "Oh! It's okay, Sister Ruixi, let's go with you! We don't need you to serve, just come by ourselves." ”
Ruixi and Ruibei also looked at each other, and there was surprise in their eyes. But the expressions of the two of them also relaxed a lot, the two teenagers did not have the style of a gentleman at all, and they were quite easy to talk, Rui Xi got up and took off a colorful ribbon wrapped around her thin waist, Rui Bei picked up a cyan jade pipa that she had just put down when she sat down, and the two walked to the low platform in the room dedicated to performance.
I saw Rui Bei sitting on a chair pressed on the table, trying to pluck the strings a few times, crisp and pleasant. Ruixi turned her waist, and the six-meter-long multicolored ribbon instantly moved with her, and a circle of multicolored colors flew between her thin waist.
Looking at the double stamen on the low platform, there is no humility and sadness when he first entered the room, but a confident and radiant color, which is really like a budding stamen. Jiang Chen and the others were already stunned, and the two of them picked up the wine glasses and drank the wine in the glass, and after the wine entered their throats, they came back to their senses. Jiang Chen and Wei Chide looked at each other, seeing each other's appreciation in each other's eyes, and they were even more looking forward to the performance of the Shuangrui sisters.
