Lanxi Fang is the premier green building in Yunzhou, and there is a hexagonal vermilion lacquer carved tower in the center of it to entertain guests.

This tower is called the Phoenix Tower, can be 12 zhang high, covers an area of about 40 acres, up and down a total of eight times, and the body of the tower decreases step by step. There are four corridors built between the layers of towers, and the outer ring is inlaid with exquisite carved red trunks. There are more than 500 private rooms of various colors in the tower, with different styles and sizes. There are a number of Xifu begonias planted nearby, all of which are tall and abnormal. The pavilions in the distance are scattered but magnificent, and they are the daily living places of the long-established Oiran and the top brands. As for the outermost corridor, it is simple and ordinary, and it is a place for the servants who serve here and the singers and dancers who are still practicing their arts.

Looking at the thirteen cities of Yunzhou, only the girls in this Lanxi Fang are all Qing people, who have never sold their art but not their bodies, but they can make everyone rush to them and come here to spend a lot of money. Therefore, there are often dignitaries and dignitaries from Qianzhao City and other states who come here.

The vermilion pillars are painted with auspicious clouds, and the two strings of red lanterns hanging under the beams shine brightly. After dusk, Lanxi Fang is just starting to be lit up, and the guests in front of the courtyard are bustling. Maidservants, dressed in aqua red, walked around, greeting visitors from all over the world in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Business here is at its most prosperous at this time. Wealthy people from the north and south mostly stopped here, while the dusty scribes chatted and laughed with the dancers in the private rooms.

The rope hangs from the claw lamp overhead, reflecting the splendor of the autumn sun, and the layer of white oily paper pasted on the lattice door is painted with the pattern of red maple. Mozi knelt outside and knocked gently, and the brightly colored food at the back came in. At this moment, the Oiran Nangong Huiyue of Lanxi Fang was sitting upright on the side of the private room, her slender jade fingers playing with the red sandalwood pipa resting on her lap, and her slightly opened red lips were softly singing Yunzhou's famous song "Crane Dance Snow". At the same time, a pair of dancing girls danced in Xiyang, making the guests unable to take their eyes off it.

I saw that the appearance of these two jade figures was the same, and they looked amorous with a smile and a smile. They also wore snow-blue collared shirts and light long skirts with begonia red backgrounds. His sister Yukiharu Aragaki wore a purple ribbon for her hair, while her sister Akina Aragaki wore a hosta on her bun. These twin sisters have always been the best dancers in Yunzhou, and they are the big red and purple head dancers in Lanxi Fang. And the girls dancing next to them, although they look quite beautiful, are a little paled in comparison.

The graceful singing and pipa sounds intertwine in the sky, falling evenly on everyone's body like lights. However, the state of mind that people feel when they feel the tune varies according to their experiences. The lattice door near the red diaphragm was open because of the beautiful moonlight, and from time to time seven or eight scattered begonia flowers drifted in with the evening breeze.

At the end of the song, the people are quiet, and the aftermath lingers. I saw that they finally crossed their legs and squatted down, and Peugeot's face gradually emerged from the back of the white fan, which seemed to be secretly and extremely moving, which made everyone can't help but shake their hearts, and it was difficult to distinguish the world and the sky for a while.

The Huadiao wine in the green bottle smoked slightly, and a woman knelt beside the red stove, silently drinking wine for the guests. I saw that she was wearing a black half-arm gown, with a plump body and a slight hanging bun. She is the pious woman in Lanxi Fang, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called Jade Linglong. Now, although she looks old and decrepit, she can vaguely distinguish the past appearance from her facial features. The nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth and a few strands of white hair on her sideburns add the charm of years to her. Then the two Xingchun sisters and Nangong Huiyue stepped forward together, kneeling on both sides of Yu Linglong with graceful manners. Moko and the other four dancers were courteously entertaining the guests to drink and write poems.

The silver-bearded elder in Xi Yang seemed to be still immersed in the beautiful pipa music, and from time to time he patted his knees rhythmically with his palms, looking happy. He came to his senses, stroked his palms and laughed, and said to the young man beside him: "Wonderful, I have heard that the Oiran of Lanxifang is good at music and art, and his reputation is best in Yunzhou. But when I heard this song, it really lived up to its name. "This person is the famous giant Jia Yan Xingkong in Niansu City, who controls one-third of the salt and iron trade in Yunzhou. The young man next to him shook a white folding fan painted with ink bamboo in his hand, and replied with a smile, "That's true." The younger generations also feel the same way. What is particularly rare is that it is said that this "Crane Dancing Snow" was composed by Miss Emi Moon when she was 16 years old, and it has already spread all over the country. After hearing this, Huiyue kneeled forward and lowered her head slightly, and said respectfully: "The slave family is not talented, thanks to the love of all the adults." ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but Miss Huiyue's demeanor has not diminished that day. ”

"The same is true for you. Nangong Huiyue raised the palm resting on her lap, raised her glass and covered her face with her sleeve, and said with a slight smile: "I don't know if Gongzi Jiang will enter Beijing to take the exam later?

"Miss Emitsu is going to make fun of me again. He said, "How can you take the jokes of the past seriously?"

In the autumn of the previous year, Jiang Taoyi went to Ningzhou with the caravan, passing through here and staying overnight in the house, and happened to have a relationship with Nangong Huiyue, who came to give alms. At that time, he once claimed that he was a childhood sweetheart in the township named Little Yellow Flower, and he had been in love with him since he was a child. It's just that his father and mother learned that his family was in the middle of the road, so they no longer let the two have any contact. Now he wants to go to Qianzhao City to get famous, and after the title of the gold list in Japan, he will continue to have a relationship with Xiao Huanghua. It's a pity that I am shy in my pocket, so I am troubled here. Nangong Huiyue was bent on the beauty of adulthood, so she asked Mozi to take two silver taels to help him enter Beijing to catch the exam. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tao saw her so Lan Xinhui, and couldn't help but be moved by it.

Later, when he returned to Lianyue City, he personally escorted two carts of gold, silver, jewelry, and silk to Lanxifang to visit Nangong Huiyue, and expressed to her that he was willing to marry Qinse. However, Nangong Huiyue just lowered her eyebrows and shook her head, then turned around and walked towards the market. Jiang Taoyi was disheartened and had to leave gloomily. Spring went to autumn, and the two never met again. If it weren't for his father, Jiang Yongnian, the lord of Fengyue Mountain Villa, who sent him to do business with Yan Xingkong, the giant of Yunzhou, he would not have returned to this Lianyue City. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nangong Huiyue's heart is unacceptable, so why should he be bored.

After three cups and two lamps, the dancing girl Aragaki Akina's face was slightly gloomy, and she was overjoyed when she saw Jiang Taoyi, and couldn't help but raise the silver bottle and walked towards the other party, and said to him resentfully: "Jiang Gongzi is really ruthless." Why do you only have an Oiran in your eyes, and the slave family can't dance well?"

"Miss Akina's dancing skills are equally breathtaking, but each has its own merits. Seeing that Qiu Nai fell down due to unsteady walking, Jiang Taoyu hurriedly stepped forward to stabilize her body, but unexpectedly, she was led to the ground by her, and the wine that was leaning forward fell on the stone blue brocade robe.

After seeing this, his sister Aragaki Yukiharu hurriedly wiped the wine stains on his body for him, and bent down slightly apologetically to apologize: "Little sister, she is not strong enough to drink, so there are many rudenesses, the slave family is here to make amends for her, and I hope that Gongzi Haihan." I saw that this person was better than white porcelain and his eyes were like autumn water, and his gestures were gentle, seemingly cold as frost, but he had a unique style. Jiang Tao's heart moved, and he pretended to be annoyed and said: "This brocade robe is from the Tianbao Pavilion, and it is no less than a hundred taels of silver. How can you let these three words and then settle the matter?"

"Then how can Jiang Gongzi be willing to give up?"

"If you sing me a little song, that's fine. ”

"But the slave family is a dancing girl, and she is not good at music. Aragaki Yukiharu said suddenly.

"Now that Gongzi Jiang has opened his mouth, you don't have to excuse yourself. Yu Linglong took Qiu Nai over for her, and said casually: "Which of the girls in my Lanxi Fang is not familiar with the four arts? Didn't you just write a song "Chu Tian Ge"? Let them comment today. ”

"The matter has come to this, and the slave family can only sacrifice ugliness. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope you will forgive me. ”

Seeing Nangong Huiyue nodding slightly at her, the orchid fingers twisted by Aragaki Yuharu stretched out of his sleeve, and sang in a beautiful singing voice: "The young man is in the army, and the white head is in Kansai." The ancients should laugh at me, I don't know the wind and rain of the year. Who would have thought that the wolf smoke rose everywhere in the Qin period, and the palace of the world was resting for a while. The wild goose returns to the south, the yellow leaves are sparse, and the years are dry, and there are millions of soldiers in front of the account. In the end, the slanting sun shone and rode down, and Xiao Niang sang sadly in front of the seat. And now the wind is crossing, and the overlord is returning?" At the end of the song, Aragaki Yukiharu suddenly shed a tear, which complemented the poignant tune. It's just that there is a heartbreak in this pipa sound, which is too sad.

After a long time, Jiang Taoyi slowly opened his eyes, and hurriedly high-fived and praised: "I have heard that Miss Xingchun has exquisite dancing skills, and I never thought that even a small song could be so good." Yukiharu lowered his head slightly reservedly, and his cheeks gradually flushed. Nangong Huiyue took a sip of wine gently, and when she saw the two of them frowning, she immediately smiled. At this moment, the sound of footsteps outside the lattice door was approaching, and a one-eyed young man immediately turned his head vigilantly. I saw that he was wearing a dark fish-scale armor, sitting silently behind Eizuki and never leaving his sword.

This person's name is Jiang Changyi, and he was originally a warrior who roamed the rivers and lakes. Unfortunately, he was blinded in the left eye by his enemies in that duel many years ago. At that time, Jiang Changyi, who was dying, fell in the grass, but was saved by Nangong Huiyue, who was passing through here. In order to repay Huiyue for saving his life, he became the guardian of this Lanxi Fang. Originally, according to the rules of the workshop, the nursing home was not allowed to set foot in the private room. However, Jiang Changyi heard that the last time Huiyue and Mozi went to Qingyuan Mountain without permission, they were almost attacked by monsters, so he insisted on staying by her side every inch.

"Hey, there's a lot going on here. Let's sit down here. A young man slowly opened the lattice door and walked in on a brocade shoe with auspicious cloud patterns.

I saw that this person was wearing a crimson cross-collared coat with a hood on his head, and his chest and back were embroidered with gold thread into a gluttonous pattern. He wears a silver earring on his left ear, and between his eyebrows there is a feminine beauty. However, Eizuki clearly understood the cruelty and perverseness hidden in this person's expression. And the servant of the dog's head and body followed closely behind, and it seemed that he was by no means a good kind.
