92 Ancient Jianghu Wen 12
If you want to ask who is the busiest place in the capital? Probably the first thing that comes to everyone's mind will be Huaixi Street in the east.
With everything to eat, drink and have fun, there are many teahouses and restaurants, and there are even entertainment venues such as Qinglou Casino, which can be regarded as the most prosperous commercial street in the modern national capital.
And the beauty tent happens to be located in such a dazzling golden area, with a four-story corner building, with rounded corners and gold-plated mahogany plaques hanging from the door beams.
The font is particularly special, like regular script, but there is a little more free and wanton, into the wood three points, flowing water, especially the last pinch, stretched very long, but the end is just right, just on the edge, suddenly there is a kind of peak loop turn.
Except for the oval doorway with a beaded curtain, the rest of the place is decorated with pale pink tulle, looming, adding a bit of ambiguity.
There are also small bronze bells hanging on the eaves, and when the wind blows, it collides with a crisp sound, intermittent, but very beautiful, attracting passers-by who can't help but look towards the source of the sound.
The first thing you see is a sign-like thing erected at the door, covered with rice paper, and the reason is written in bold letters.
To the effect that the beauty account will compete for the leader of the group of Fang spectrum tonight, and it is also the first Fang master, not only can you freely choose your benefactor in the future, but also set aside 10,000 gold as the color head, enjoy a single small building Pear Flower Garden, the treatment is top-notch, you only need to perform on stage once a month, and the rest of the time can be arranged by yourself.
There is also a thin rope next to it, hanging several delicate portraits, properly covered with a film, carefully protected, the painter's brushwork is obviously very exquisite, depicting all kinds of beauties vividly, ring fat and thin, or standing, or sitting and lying, the posture is not the same.
There is a temperament like a fox, just those eyes feel sparkling and coveted, and there are also types that can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed, wearing a light green shirt, lining the face more and more beautiful, and the temperament is out of the dust.
Not to mention anything else, the 10,000 taels of gold alone is enough to make anyone can't help but salivate when they see it, plus there are many other preferential treatments, there are naturally more girls in the flower building, and it doesn't matter if you have that qualification or not, you always want to try, and there is a case for everything, isn't it?
Cen Xue also expected such a situation, so she borrowed the modern draft rules to determine the basic qualifications for participation, which required good looks and at least one talent, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
First screened in the building, excluding some of the qualifications that were too poor, and then went through the primary selection, the second selection, and then the final so-called finals, the elimination actually accounted for the majority, and most of the rest were familiar faces that had already existed on the Qunfang spectrum.
is like Yan Wu, ranked fourth on the group of Fang spectrum, born with a delicate appearance of peony patterns, slender figure, sweet tone, dancing is like a milk swallow returning to the nest, butterflies flying, often there are dignitaries who spend a lot of money just to watch her dance.
There is also the Ling Yan girl, except for the leader who has been vacant, she is the highest ranked, her appearance is refined, her temperament is dusty, and her cold eyes are like a mist, even if her posture is arrogant, it is understandable, and many men are willing to give all kinds of treasures to please her.
I have to say that Cen Xue's marketing methods are really clever, and she did not hold any underwear exhibitions unrealistically like other crossing women, but started to make an article through Hualou.
First, he spent money to find people to spread the news, and spread the beauty and the protagonist one by one all over the streets and alleys, and then used a wooden sign priced at ten taels as an admission order.
Of course, if you don't want to sit in the hall on the first floor, you can spend a little more money, choose a high-end VIP seat, an independent private room, all kinds of drinks and food, and even two delicate-looking maids to serve with fans.
When entering, everyone will receive a blooming wood hibiscus at the door, the petals are still stained with dewdrops, and a few green leaves are decorated, which looks more delicate and fragrant.
Of course, these flowers are not purely appreciated, and the old men naturally do not like these things, and the real use is to vote for the girls.
If you like someone or her performance happens to be the right appetite, she will directly throw the flowers into the bamboo basket on the right side of the stage, and when the number is counted at the end, the mother of the beauty account, Aunt Sang Rong, will personally announce the results, and the winner will be eligible to continue to compete for the owner.
These rules all sound very strange, even silver and gold cards and so-called discounted consumption are unheard of, but the beauty account has always been unique, and there are many differences from other green houses.
People have a problem of coveting freshness, especially men, who have two major preferences in life, one is beauty, and the other is wine.
The beauty account happens to be there, the beauty does not need to mention, almost all kinds of types, the new two wines are also well received, the red wine is sour and slightly sweet, the aftertaste is endless, and the second pot head is spicy and refreshing, and the stimulation is endless.
So, from the first day the news spread, it attracted a lot of attention, and they speculated that the beauty account was going to toss something new this time.
After all, when the Qunfang spectrum was first released, it was all eyeballs, and there were suddenly several more beauties with both appearance and talent, but the top position has been empty for more than two months, and even a stunning beauty like Ling Yan can only be ranked second.
Although some people initially disliked the price and refused to spend the ten taels of silver, they looked very disdainful and even ridiculed.
said that the beauties had clear accounts and tried their best to take the opportunity to cheat money, and the boss behind the scenes must be a money fan who fell into the eyes of money, the kind that couldn't even give up a child, a profiteer who was so stingy and alive.
Isn't it just a broken brand? One or two pieces of silver can be carved out of a dozen, and it is guaranteed to be more exquisite, and even soft fragrant wood can be used as the base to carve patterns.
Anyway, they will definitely not go, only fools will be fooled, having said that, but before the next day, they have already begun to regret it, and they can't wait to drink a bottle of regret medicine immediately, and swallow back all the arrogant words they said before.
When the friends who have been there come back, without exception, they are all drunk and red, and their eyes are shining, and they are so excited that they are incoherent, and they describe it in a dance, anyway, it is synthesized into one sentence, that is, the ten taels of silver are too worth it, even if they are exchanged for fifty taels, they will not lose at all.
One pass ten to hundred, the people who see it are satisfied, and those who have not seen it are even more itchy, where do you care about the ten taels of silver, counting the days all day long like looking forward to the stars and the moon, I hope not to miss the second time.
Now more than two months have passed, and after several talent competitions, the rest are actually nothing more than Ling Yan, Yan Wu, Green Waist, and Xianxian, who have long been ranked on the Qunfang spectrum.
Now that it is the final night of victory and defeat, it is naturally more eye-catching, almost the most lively day since the opening of the beauty tent, and there are even people who open gambling games, betting on them, betting on who will be the owner.
The odds are not much different, but the highest voice is undoubtedly Ling Yan, a cold beauty with a special temperament, especially after the news that she will dance the silver bell dance on the white jade platform tonight, it suddenly set off a big โกโก.
The support rate has soared, directly throwing off the second place by several hundred, and there is even a certain rich young master who used a horse-drawn cart to please the beauty early in the morning to transport a lot of flowers.
The sun's afterglow had not yet completely faded, the horizon was dyed crimson, and the flocculent clouds looked very soft.
Although the beauty tent is the most famous flower house in the capital, it has been very lively in the past, and it is a gentle township that men dream of never forgetting, but this will not even arrive at the end of the year, and many carriages have been parked in front of the door.
Coming and going, there is an endless stream, and there are even many court officials and wealthy businessmen who are rarely seen on weekdays, but today they seem to have made an appointment, and they are all gathered here.
"Master Li, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really a coincidence. The one who spoke was a young man in a pale blue robe, with a round face and small eyes, and a wide forehead and thick eyebrows.
The facial features look quite ordinary, but fortunately, the body is majestic and imposing, which immediately makes up for a lot of shortcomings.
The man called Master Li was about forty-five years old, his hair and beard were already a little gray, his sideburns were also carved with several wrinkles, his figure was thin and thin, and he wore a purple robe, and the workmanship was very fine, and even the patterns were lifelike.
When he turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost walked over quickly, and patted the other party on the shoulder meaningfully twice, "Hahaha, it turned out to be Brother Zhang, you are a busy man, and you can't see the end of the day, I heard that Recently, Your Majesty has even handed over the case of the flood in the south to you with full responsibility, which is really terrifying." โ
There was a sense of joy in his voice, which had been raised several degrees, obviously happy to see his old friends, but the last half of the sentence was full of sourness, and even the small eyes that were squinted were shining.
"Brother Li, what you said is not right, I am just a little waiter of the Ministry of Rites, what can I do to be busy, I can compare to you, the old minister next to Your Majesty, and I have to count on you to bring your little brother more in the future. โ
The man's heart suddenly suddenly, knowing that his recent performance was too prominent, which caused the old minister of the court to be dissatisfied in his heart, so he hurriedly played haha perfunctory.
flattered him a few times in a row, and seeing that the expression on his face eased a lot, he smiled and said, "It's the younger brother, isn't it, I'll be the east of Ming'er, and invite the elder brother to drink in Fuyuan Building." โ
The two were talking, and a dark brown carriage stopped at the door at some point, which looked very simple, but no one dared to ignore the bearded man who jumped down from the beam of the car and wore a dark red python robe, and everyone gasped, muttering in their hearts why this guy is here, should something happen again?
The big man was nearly two feet tall, his skin was dark and shiny, a pair of copper bells stared at him, the whites of his eyes were very prominent, his unkempt black hair was braided a few times at random behind his head, tied into braids, and his exposed arms were as thick as normal people's calves and stomachs, and his muscles were bulging, and he looked very strong and powerful, almost tearing his clothes.
It is said that he was a murderer, fierce and brutal, and could tear apart wild cattle and other fierce beasts with his bare hands, and even the steppe barbarians were so frightened that they were so frightened that they trembled when they heard his name.
After Daru jumped down, he directly kicked the stool a few meters away, shaking his eyebrows, looking very impatient, and his voice was so loud that he almost covered the surrounding sounds.
"How many times have you said it, don't you have long ears? This kind of girly thing, I'm a big old man......"
The coachman was very worried, the beads of sweat the size of soybeans on his forehead kept falling, and his back was completely soaked.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Li, you also came to see the beauty?" Fortunately, when Daru turned his head, he saw the two people standing at the door, and immediately left this little thing behind, walked over in a few steps, and patted them on the back.
He said to the older man in the purple robe, "I didn't expect Brother Li to look well-dressed, it's okay, what is this called, yes, yes, old and strong, I'm right, right?"
His posture is very bold and natural, and his voice is very loud, and the eyes around him have long been attracted, which will constantly sound whispering, and even a few people can't hold back laughter.
Feeling that the eyes cast on him were full of contempt, Li Yanzhi's old face suddenly turned red, ashamed and annoyed, and he wanted to go directly into the crack in the wall, but he didn't have the courage to make things difficult for Dalu.
In addition, knowing that the other party did not deliberately lose face, he was purely used to going straight and had a bold temperament, so he could only pull his sleeve, and there was obviously a pleading meaning in his low voice, how could he be arrogant in the face of the man in the pale blue robe at the beginning.
Daru didn't think so, patted his chest, with a hearty smile on his face, his mouth was almost grinning to the corner of his eyes, revealing a mouthful of conspicuous big white teeth, "What is there to be ashamed of, they are all men, everyone has a love for beauty, there are three things that I like most in Daru's life, one is to fight, the second is wine, and the third is beauty, hahaha......"
It's like playing the piano to the cow, Li Yanzhi completely gave up this time, anyway, he has already lost face and thrown home, so he can't just turn around and go back without looking at anything, right? โ
At the other end, Daru snatched the basket in the hand of the handsome girl standing at the door, wearing a white background and a blue jacket, there were still several flowers left in it, and muttered dissatisfiedly as he walked inside, "Why are you so stingy, just give it to me." โ
This kind of bandit-like behavior directly made the girl's face red, and she wanted to snatch it back, but she couldn't pull his arm away at all, it was completely in vain, and the people around her were also talking, but none of them dared to stand up to help.
Please, Daru's horror level is slightly better than that of Yan Xun, although it will not kill innocents indiscriminately, but his temper is also so short-tempered that he can't do it, just punch you lightly, he will definitely be dizzy, and he will see blood, who has the courage to go up and reason with him.
Not far away, the man in red wore a hat on his head, and his entire face was tightly hidden under the white veil, but just looking at his figure, he felt slender and slender, coupled with the exposed neck and looming collarbone, without looking at his face, he knew that he was a beautiful man who could score ninety points.
Out of nowhere, a breeze blew, and just lifted the corner of the veil, revealing half of the man's delicate side face, the tails of his eyes were lightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were also smiling with unknown meanings, which was extremely amazing.
Ling Shuangshuang, who was standing beside him, looked deep on him, and seemed to be very focused, but when he looked closely, he was in a trance, his pupils were almost static, and they were so hazy that they seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and he couldn't see the strange feelings hidden inside.
Her heart will be very chaotic, and her mind will be filled with the demonic face and cold eyes of Yan Xun for a while, and the stupid woman's stupid behavior and gentle words will be in her mind for a while, except for her brother, no one seems to have cared about her so much since she was a child.
Ling Shuangshuang has always regarded Yan Xun as the light of life, but in fact, it was only because the other party saved his life when he was a child.
The overwhelming blood and firelight, before Ling Shuangshuang passed out, what impressed her the most was Yan Xun's beautiful and cold eyes, and the sentence "It's okay" that didn't have any feelings at all, but made her feel at ease in an instant.
But now, her heart is a little messy.
On the night of the full moon, Ling Shuangshuang actually heard the movement in Gu Anjue's room, and thought that it was a shameless cheap woman in the sect, but it turned out that the man's voice sounded, which was very nice and familiar.
I wanted to continue listening, or break into the room to save the sect leader, but Ling Feng appeared quietly and told her to leave immediately.
Ling Shuangshuang has always listened to his brother's words, but he hesitated that day, he actually had some kind of bad guess in his heart, he gritted his teeth and wanted to ask for an understanding, but he was directly dizzy by Ling Feng, and it was already the next morning when he woke up again.
It was Cen Yanran who was guarding the bedside to take care of her, there was a faint shadow under her eyes, and she looked very tired, but she still showed an unadulterated smile as soon as she woke up, and it was like a ray of sunshine shining into her heart in an instant.
"Everything is done?" Gu Anjue had actually noticed Ling Shuangshuang's uneasy mood a long time ago, the original owner's wish was to treat her and Ling Feng well, and not to repeat the mistakes of his previous life, since he already had a lover, it was impossible to accept her, Ling Shuangshuang was undoubtedly a good thing to like someone else, and he was also willing to match.
Ling Shuangshuang suddenly came back to his senses, quickly put away the emotion in his eyes, lowered his eyes, and said respectfully, "Yes, sect leader, it has already been tied, and then it will be time...... Mengsheng will take the stage instead of Xianxian. โ
Although the title changed quickly, and his voice was very soft, Gu Anjue's five senses were keen, and he still caught it easily, the corners of his mouth hidden under the veil slowly hooked, but his voice was extremely cold, "I hope she doesn't disappoint me, otherwise I ......"
The latter words were not finished, but the threat they carried meant that Ling Shuangshuang understood it at once, and his heart suddenly contracted.
Thinking of the sect leader's cruel methods and reckless nature in the past, she suddenly became more and more worried, and the hand hanging by her side quietly clenched the corner of her clothes, and her palms were sticky and greasy, and she was wet with sweat.
Tsk, it seems that I really don't have no feelings for Cen Yanran, and I inexplicably remembered a sentence that was widely circulated on the Internet, the lilies bloomed under the Brokeback Mountain, not to mention it, it was really appropriate.
Gu Anjue didn't speak, his eyes fell on the second floor of the restaurant not far away, the window shook slightly, it was empty, but the tea on the table was still steaming hot.
Obviously, the talent has just left, or he hasn't left at all, but he is just hiding in an invisible corner.
Knowing that even if it is now and in the past, he will not be able to catch someone whose martial arts are slightly better than himself, Gu Anjue has no intention of leaving.
He looked away as if nothing had happened, feeling helpless and a little annoyed at the same time.
That guy, is it an addiction to voyeurism? Can't just come out and see himself? Obviously more intimate things have been done. 166 Reading Network
