Chapter 487: Betting
Entering the soft incense pavilion, I saw that the hall in front of me was very large, very high, the four floors were opened, the walls, wooden pillars and wooden railings were inlaid with night pearls, illuminating the surrounding lights brilliantly, magnificent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the center of the ground floor is a square carved wooden platform, delicate and beautiful, on which three beautiful women in bright dresses are dancing.
The melodious sound of silk and bamboo, coming out of the high platform, was euphemistic and lingering, full of ambiguous mood.
More than 10 round tables covered with red brocade cloth, distributed around the high platform in a circle, when it was dark, those princes and nobles who lingered in the flowers, the children of the rich came one after another, there were people sitting at each table, and there were women accompanying the wine beside them, and they were staggered.
From the second floor to the fourth floor, there are private rooms, where guests can watch the performances on the high platform on the ground floor by the wooden railing.
It's a little different from what I remember, but the hall, the opulent and magnificent style is the same, and Xiang Yue feels that the place that was robbed four years ago should be here.
"Baby!"
When Xiang Yue entered the door, a person stood up on a round table, his eyes were like stars, and he was handsome, and he ran towards her with a look of surprise.
is called Xiang Yue's baby, only Su Chifeng.
Although Xiang Yue covered his face, Su Chifeng recognized her at a glance.
There were two strange young men at the same table as Su Chifeng, each with a woman with heavy makeup and bright makeup, but there was no woman by his side.
Before Xiang Yue could speak, Yiyang and Taozi were stunned and said, "Ah Feng, why are you here?" ”
Murong Qinghong glared at Su Chifeng angrily, he actually came to this kind of place behind his back to fool around, feeling that he had betrayed Xiang Yue, he was distracted, not a thing, and stretched out his arm in front of Xiang Yue, stopped him, and prevented him from getting close to Xiang Yue.
Xiang Yue knew that Su Chifeng came here for the same purpose as herself, not only to solve the mystery of her disappearance, but also to find out the murderer of Su Chixing.
The poor guy used to be misunderstood as an old woman who liked drunken Huailou when he was in Shixin City, and today it seems that he is going to be misunderstood again, and Xiang Yue is secretly funny.
Realizing that he was a bit too much to laugh at him like this, Xiang Yue patted Murong Qinghong and asked her not to stop Su Chifeng.
"Are you angry? I ......"
Su Chifeng was afraid that Xiang Yue would also misunderstand, so he was anxious to explain.
"What am I angry about, if you don't have me in your heart, I will immediately swallow your property, and then kick you far away, which is quite profitable." Xiang Yue almost laughed out loud as she spoke.
Su Chifeng was relieved when he heard that she was joking, and whispered: "Is this the place where you woke up after you disappeared four years ago?" ”
Xiang Yue nodded, and the secret voice passed: "It's very similar, what have you found?" ”
"The women in the Qinglou eat the rice of youth, especially the best Qinglou in the Imperial City, the soft incense pavilion, the personnel change quickly, and there are very few people who can stay here for four years, I haven't found anything."
Su Chifeng's gaze glanced at the middle-aged woman who was facing Fang Zhongyu and them in, "That middle-aged woman, known as Aunt Chun, is the steward of the Soft Fragrance Pavilion, and she only took over four years ago, do you have any impression?" ”
"I haven't seen it."
Xiang Yue shook her head, although this middle-aged woman called Aunt Chun was dressed charmingly, she was not the woman with heavy makeup in her memory.
Xiang Yue's gaze had already swept over the women present, as well as the little servants serving next to her, all of them were fresh faces, and it was probably not easy to find the people she had seen four years ago.
"Baby, let's sit together." Su Chifeng pointed to the table he was sitting at and greeted Yiyang and Taozi.
A round table can seat ten people, and Su Chifeng's table has a total of five people, and it can sit down to Xiang Yue and a few of them.
"Go to the elegant room."
Threatened by Xiang Yue, Fang Zhongyu came in very reluctantly, so he didn't want to be in the hall on the ground floor with other people, and ordered Aunt Chun.
Aunt Chun was very flattering and said, "Little Lord Fang, please go upstairs!" ”
"Ah Feng, let's check separately, I'll go up with my cousin first."
Xiang Yuemi sent a message to Su Chifeng, she was going to use Fang Zhongyu to start with Aunt Chun first, and maybe she could find out something.
Su Chifeng immediately understood what Xiang Yue meant, nodded, and went back to his table.
Yiyang, Taozi and the others naturally followed Fang Zhongyu and Xiang Yue.
"Brother Jade!"
At this time, a slender figure ran in from outside the door, and ran directly to Fang Zhongyu, who had not yet gone up the stairs, and the cry of Brother Yu was crisp and sweet.
Looking at the moon, isn't this Liu Qing?
This time, Liu Qing didn't dress as a man, she was wearing a pink dress, her face was flushed, and she looked at Fang Zhongyu with surprise in her eyes, and fools could see that she liked Fang Zhongyu.
This appearance is estimated to be a nymphomaniac with the soul, and some of them are fighting.
Xiang Yue was strange, didn't the guards of the Soft Fragrance Pavilion stop her?
"Do you know who the master of the Soft Incense Pavilion is?" Whisper to the moon and send it to Yiyang.
The Tengyi Pavilion of the Yi family really deserves to be the most well-informed, and Yiyang replied in a secret voice: "On the surface, it is Liu Yibin, the Marquis of Xing'an, and there may be others behind the scenes, which is very secretive, and it is estimated that he is also a relative of the emperor." ”
Liu Yibin is Liu Qing's brother, no wonder the guards of the Soft Fragrance Pavilion dare not stop her. Xiang Yue thought in her heart, would the master behind the Soft Fragrance Pavilion still have Fang Zhongyu?
"I've seen Lord Qing!"
Aunt Chun hurriedly saluted Liu Qing, and frowned when she lowered her head, not to mention that so many girls came today, and they were all masters who could not be offended, which made her panic.
Fang Zhongyu didn't look at Liu Qing, she didn't want to pay attention to it at all, and walked straight to the stairs, how dare Aunt Chun slack off, hurry up to catch up.
Fang Zhongyu didn't seem to have any interest in women at all, even if he walked with Tao Zi, he never looked at her, and he never took the initiative to speak, Xiang Yue felt that his treatment was already good, at least he could see the look of disgust on his face.
However, this situation has changed for the better since yesterday, under the effect of the drug of Shengxian San, Xiang Yue's every move made him impressed, although he was frightened, but he believed that his cousin was really different.
's attitude towards Xiang Yue naturally became much better, otherwise she wouldn't have taken her out of the house.
"Xiaohua, is it that the psychological shadow you caused to your little cousin is too big, so that he has lost interest in women since then?" Xiang Yue has a bad taste for passing on his consciousness to the soul.
When the heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "Nonsense." ”
Xiang Yue pouted, and his consciousness was transmitted: "Have ten thousand insects refined the antidote to the spirit incense?" ”
"Stop!" Liu Qing suddenly stopped in front of Xiang Yue, pointed at her and shouted angrily, "Do you dare to compete with me?" ”
"What are you trying to do?" Xiang Yue was puzzled and asked.
Liu Qing's cry was not low, it was crisp and sweet to Fang Zhongyu, but it was sharp and sharp to Xiang Yue, almost all the people on the ground floor heard it, and many eyes converged.
"Singing and dancing."
Liu Qing obviously knew who Xiang Yue was.
Although Xiang Yue covered her face, strangers didn't know who she was, but those who stared at her, as well as those who were familiar with her, naturally knew who she was.
Since Xiang Yue went out of the princess's mansion, many people in the imperial city have been investigating her.
"Why do you want to compete with me?" Xiang Yue expressed his incomprehension.
Liu Qing said in a vicious tone: "If you lose, you can't pester Brother Yu to marry you, you will cut your own face in front of everyone here!" ”
The fact that the Qing County Lord admired Fang Zhongyu was not a secret in the Imperial City, after all, many women in the Imperial City who had not yet come out of the pavilion were eager to marry Fang Zhongyu.
The matter of Miss Cousin of the Princess Mansion marrying Fang Zhongyu has been very popular recently, and the people on the ground floor heard Liu Qing speak, and they suddenly understood, and many people's curiosity increased greatly, and they wanted to grow a pair of see-through eyes, wanting to see through the veil to Xiang Yue's appearance, and see what kind of beauty Miss Cousin of the Princess Mansion was, so that Qingjun, who regarded herself as beautiful, would ruin her appearance.
Some people already know today that Miss Princess's Mansion is Xiang Yue, who is the number one beauty on the list, and it is even more clear, no wonder Qingjun is jealous of her.
Su Chifeng, Yiyang, Tao Zi and the others looked at Liu Qing with unkind eyes, if they could kill people now, Su Chifeng might not be able to help but make a move.
Xiang Yue's pupils shrank and asked, "Lord Qing, are you jealous of my appearance?" ”
"Don't you dare to compare with the lord of this county?"
Liu Qing sneered, "You are a fool who must not know anything, and you still have the face to return to Brother Yu and want to marry him?" A good-for-nothing fool, what do you compare to the lord of this county? ”
Xiang Yue smiled without anger: "What kind of place is this, performing on stage like a woman in the dust, and you are not afraid of losing your identity?" ”
"I'm a county lord, of course I'm different from you. The lord of this county only sings to Brother Yu and dances to Brother Yu, and the others will cheapen them, even if it is a witness. ”
"......" Xiang Yue was shocked by Liu Qing's self-righteous remarks.
"Everyone, the county lord and this princess's cousin have a singing and dancing competition, everyone should be a judge."
Liu Qing raised her voice, although her internal strength cultivation was not high, but with the blessing of her internal force, the sound spread and spread throughout the entire Soft Fragrance Pavilion, even the people on the highest four floors heard it.
"Good, good!"
From the second floor to the fourth floor, some figures came out of the elegant room, leaning on the wooden railing and looking down, many people on the ground floor had already boiled, and many people applauded.
"It's rare to have a singing and dancing competition between the lord of Qing County and the princess's mansion, such a once-in-a-lifetime performance, not to be missed."
"I have heard that the county lord is very talented, and she is excellent in singing and dancing, how can other people be her opponents? Let's open a bet, I bet on the lord of Qing County to win, out of one hundred taels of gold! ”
After all, most of the children of princes and nobles came to the Soft Fragrance Pavilion, and most of them were gentle, and some people actually started to bet and gamble.
"Ben Shao also bets on the Qing County Lord to win, one hundred taels of gold!"
"Two hundred taels of gold, Lord Qing!"
Immediately, the sound of betting was everywhere.
Many princes, nobles and wealthy people in the imperial city love this kind of gambling, and the little guys in the soft incense pavilion are very skilled in counting, recording and cashiering for everyone.
Liu Qing glanced at Xiang Yue very proudly, and saw that no, you are not my opponent at all, and no one bets for you.
Xiang Yue hasn't agreed yet, this has been driven to the shelves, and everyone has already bet.
