Chapter 230: A Chance Encounter
The first thing that caught Li Jin's eyes was an inconspicuous black lacquer gate, just like the courtyard gate of an ordinary rich and noble family, but there was a sign with gold characters on a black background hanging on that gate, which should be the name of the store, but Li Jin's eyes were far inferior to the young man around him, so he didn't see anything on it clearly for a while. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just that although I don't know what it's called, it's just that this is the most prosperous area in the capital, and such a prosaic façade without any other decoration, and even so simple that it can be called a somewhat humble façade, is so incompatible with the hustle and bustle of the whole street, but it seems that this place is so different.
Li Jin subconsciously moved his gaze back from a distance, what was the young man with burning eyes, and guessed in his heart that it was probably a place with a great reputation, otherwise he would not have let this at least nominal Ninety-Five Venerable be so flocking.
When he turned his eyes back to his side, he saw that King Huaiyang's expression was completely in a trance, and there seemed to be a helpless smile like resonance at the corner of his mouth.
Jing Xi also turned his gaze back at this time, looked at Li Jin and said with a smile: "What is written on the plaque is too far away, I'm afraid it's because Li Gongzi often sits at the desk, so I can't see it clearly here." ”
Li Jin nodded silently in response, only to see Jing Xi smile with that kind of unclear meaning at this time, and said while smiling at this Li Jin: "What is written on it is, Yi, Cui, Lou." ”
These three words, King Huaiyang can be said to have read toss and turn, and each word seems to be on the tip of his tongue before he comes out. And after Li Jin heard it, he didn't know if it was because of King Huaiyang's special recitation, or just because he knew where he was going for a while, his body immediately trembled inexplicably.
Li Jin never expected that a few of his people would be brought to this place, although Li Jin has always had a curiosity about this place to find out, but because there are too many things to worry about, Li Jin has always been afraid of this place.
At this moment, I don't know whether to say that I have fulfilled my long-standing wish, or whether I should say that I am in danger again.
Either way, this is a rare opportunity to see one of the three most famous locations in Jingshi's imagination in Li Jin's imagination. But originally, in Li Jin's imagination, at least it was not a carved beam, at least it should be a dazzling place. But the scene in front of me was really unexpectedly simple. After walking a distance of more than 100 steps, a few people finally arrived at the destination mentioned by the King of Huaiyang-Yicui Tower. The three big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the golden plaque, I don't know which famous person is from the hand, and the momentum is magnificent, so that people can't imagine that it will be a plaque of a green building.
A few people were greeted by the small maid who was waiting by the gate of the courtyard, cautiously observing the courtesy, and the movements of the board and eyes looked like a waiter in a high-ranking house. Since entering the courtyard, Li Jin has been in a dizzying state, different from the ordinary architectural style, rare various furnishings, plants, Li Jin even saw a hot spring built in the corner of the yard, at the moment I only feel that the water vapor and the special shape make people feel relaxed and happy from the bottom of their hearts.
This Yicui Lou is really worthy of its name, from bottom to top, every arrangement and arrangement has taken a lot of thought, not only the ingenious handicrafts, but also the collocation of each curtain can see the poetry, which is the embodiment of the most poor luxury of the dynasty left by the previous emperor.
The Qinlou Chu Pavilion that Li Jin saw in the script should generally be lively, at least it should be a place where silk and bamboo are constant. But since a few people stepped into the dark door, it was
After the King of Huaiyang brought the two of them to Yicui Tower, he was completely at ease, and he seemed to be immersed in the scenery around him, and he stopped to watch it from time to time with great interest.
The overly quiet atmosphere along the way surprised Li Jin, who really didn't expect it to be so quiet here. But it's reasonable, all the people who can come here are the giants and celebrities in the dynasty, so it should naturally be different from the ordinary market.
Just when Li Jin guessed that maybe the girls in the building were resting and preparing for the evening business, maybe they wouldn't see anyone in the building all the way. Under the guidance of the little maid, a few people happened to pass by a flower hall, and inadvertently, Li Jin saw several women sitting around talking and laughing.
It is unimaginable that Li Jin feels that these women in front of her are all so gentle, in the inner room that exudes warmth, all the smiling faces have their own unique charm, but there is no bewitching appearance in the script or in the streets and alleys. The style of raising his hand and throwing his foot is not lost at all at the banquet of the old princess of Huaiyang Palace, the rich daughters or powerful ladies that Li Jin saw.
When Li Jin observed them, they also seemed to notice the three people passing by the door. In this way, after several people looked at Li Jin and them, they got up one after another and greeted them.
Walking in style, the lively young soon came to the three of them, and seemed to be very close to the King of Huaiyang, smiling and greeting. The older, or calmer, are a few steps behind, smiling implicitly and occasionally interjecting. But even if they are introverted, they are all very down-to-earth and generous, and everyone's demeanor is fully displayed.
Such a scene was really unexpected, Li Jin and Jing Wen didn't know what to say after looking at each other. And after everyone's simple but warm greetings to King Huaiyang, the ladies did not snub the two new guests on the side.
One of them, because he was close to Li Jin, blessed himself slightly, and said with a smile: "The son is polite." The movement of the weak willow supporting the wind smoothly expressed the delicacy of the woman in front of her to the fullest, and Li Jin couldn't help but feel pity and love when she saw it, not to mention the soft tone and demeanor, which was really pleasing to the eyes of those who watched.
Wang Jingxi of Huaiyang, who was two steps away on the side, smiled at Li Jin at this moment: "I really didn't expect that Brother Li would be able to appreciate our Oiran for the first time, this is really a hero and a hero." ”
After that, he turned his head to the gentle woman beside Li Jin and said, "Yan Wan, this is a talented poet immortal, and she is in no way inferior to the beauty who can make a moon endowment in Beijing." ”
At this time, the King of Huaiyang was also the ease that Li Jin had never expected, although he was as gentle as ever, but the tone and the relaxation between his eyebrows and eyes made Li Jin feel that what he had probably seen before was not the real appearance of King Huaiyang, and at this moment, such a prince, Li Jin also didn't know if it was also an illusion.
This Yicuilou is a place where celebrities from all over the world gather, and talented and famous people from all over the world all take this place as the gentle township they yearn for in their hearts, so Yan Wan, who can become the Oiran here, in addition to her beauty, her talent is naturally undoubted. And because of the rules of Yicui Building, there are very few people who can really step here. It is conceivable that the countless romantic talents who come here naturally have their own real talents and real learning, but there are few people who are praised by Yan Wan. Not to mention that she was willing to bow down, but it has never been a thousand miles to this day. It's just that this situation only ends with Li Jin's monthly endowment.
Although Yan Wan looked weak on the outside, she was recognized as the best Oiran in the past dynasties in Yicui Building. And her talent can also be called the most in Yicui Lou for several generations, because of her own excellence, so she can bow down to the verses, in addition to the classics of the sages, Li Jin can really be regarded as the first person in the contemporary dynasty. Yuefu has always been the top of the list of contemporary poetry in Yan Wan's heart, so when she heard King Huaiyang praise the person in front of her for having a talent comparable to that of the person who made Yuefu, Yan Wan's mood can be said to be a rare excitement in recent years.
"Young Master Xi, you have always liked to joke, but if this person in your mouth is really so talented, Yan Wan will definitely reward you for your great kindness. Saying that, Yan Wan gently bowed to Jing Xi.
"Oh, okay, I'll wait for you to thank me. Saying that, Jing Xi smiled in Li Jin's direction and blinked. The meaning conveyed in that look seemed to make Li Jin prepare for a tough battle.
Li Jin suddenly felt a headache, although Li Jin didn't have any contempt for the woman next to her, what he wanted to say was that Li Jin had a good impression of her from the first time he saw her. Listening to the conversation between the two, this woman does not say that she admires herself very much, but at least she admires her moon endowment very much. Being able to meet a confidant by chance is also a great joy in life. But at this moment, there are two people who are on the same page with Li Jin, but they hold a lot of power, Li Jin really doesn't want to make any extraneous branches, but listening to the sound of the Oiran, I am afraid that I will not give up if I don't test my strength.
Li Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect to come here, but he was the first to be despised. It's just really unexpected, not to mention that this woman doesn't have the slightest smell of wind and dust, but at this moment, this arrogance that doesn't let people be taboo in this place, but looking at the reactions of the people around them, except for Li Jin and the Son of Heaven who came here for the first time, they are all so accustomed to it. Is it true that there are often people who come to provoke this oiran and then return home?
Li Jin couldn't help but look at the woman known as the Oiran next to him again.
Cloud sideburns and beautiful eyebrows, a pair of autumn dust-free apricot eyes, and a Jiangnan woman's gentleness is exuded from the top and bottom of the body. But this is only the surface, if you look closely, you can find that this woman's charm is far more than that.
The occasional flash of beauty in the clear eyes is so attractive, and it is as bright as instantly bringing thousands of stars into the bottom of the eye.
Therefore, although the several beauties with their own merits around her are younger than her, none of them can overcome the temperament and charm that naturally exudes from her. Probably that bearing comes from her rare talent, Li Jin guessed in her heart.
Originally, it was a secret observation, but because he was fascinated by it, Li Jin later looked at Yan Wan almost like this, and he was fascinated.
I don't know who made a sneering laugh around to break this slightly embarrassing scene.
After Li Jin came back to his senses because of laughter, he saw the sight around him, and immediately realized that it was his own gaffe, which caused the laughter around him, although there was also a trace of shyness, but Li Jin immediately decided that this was a great opportunity in his heart, and immediately learned the obsessed tone of beauty in the book, and said: "Xiaosheng is shallow in learning, but he also admires the talented girl who made the moon endowment, so he deliberately practiced the poetry hard. ”
