Ruixian Lou is famous, and once very famous, it is rumored that when the king was still a prince, he had a private visit to Ruixian Lou, just to see the first Oiran of the five capitals of Beijing - Chen Qiong'er's posture. Of course, this is nothing more than unsubstantiated gossip. When the flowers bloom and fall, since Chen Qiong'er once fell, not to mention the five capitals of Beijing, even if she is in Beijing, there has never been an undisputed leader like her.

Now the limelight is already in the floating world above the Ruixian Tower, and in the Hundred Flowers Palace, there are countless Qing women who are both beautiful and artistic, and they are just a hundred flowers competing for beauty. Until the appearance of this Weng Xiaokite, Ruixian Lou's fame is like a dead wood in spring, resurrected, but more than a month, the limelight has overshadowed all the tricks, and the beauty is like this, no wonder it is no wonder that when he first grows up, he will compete for the leader of the five capitals.

The four of them walked out of the halfside building without hurry, and changed slightly, all dressed as sons of a family. Xiang Jiu personally set up a green oil cloth cart and led a few people who had never seen the world to Wuguan Lane, which was two streets away.

The most prosperous scene in the whole Shangjing is Wujing Lane, Li Shuci has never been here before, but I didn't expect it to be so wide inside, almost more than the Desheng Fang in the center of Shangjing. When the hour comes, the whole alley is illuminated by lights, and it is suddenly lively. More than 100 steps into the alley, it is a three-storey small building of the same color, clothed in red and hung with colors, carved beams and painted buildings. The peachy and willow-green girls and enthusiastic helpers stood upstairs and downstairs to solicit customers.

Xiang Jiumu drove the carriage all the way inside without squinting, and said: "These are the third-class hook bars on the side, and the second class is further inside, and the best one should turn to the innermost." ”

Li Shuci lifted the curtain of the car, squinted at the smiling women in the attic, and said with a smile: "You are familiar!"

Xiang Jiuyi choked: "How can it! I have inquired thoroughly." ”

Li Shuci no longer teased him, and the more he walked inside, the fewer peddlers and pawns became, and the people walking on the road were all merchant group leaders or something. Further in, I can already see dignitaries and children of the family sporadically. Several people got out of the car, Xiang Jiu and He Quan protected Li Shuci Muyun in the middle, handed over the carriage to the helpers guarding in front of the door, and directly entered the Ruixian Building, which was flowing with gold and silver, and thick vermilion and purple.

Ruixian Lou's mother Gong looked only in her early thirties, with a slender waist and charm, personally greeted a guest, seemed to be a regular customer, and hurriedly called a woman in red with a delicate and soft voice to come down, as soon as the woman saw someone, she didn't pay attention to the people around her, there was a noise, stretched out two arms, as if hanging on the person's body, the white wrist slipped out of the sleeve, and pulled a long voice and said coquettishly: "Ouch, Li Gongzi is really ruthless, how many days have not come, Xiao Yao'er's neck is about to break......"

Li Gongzi looked evil, reached out and picked Xiao Yao'er's sharp chin, and said with a smile: "Master, I will compensate you well!"

As he spoke, the two of them went upstairs as one.

Mother Gong was petite and soft, with a light gait, and saw four people standing at the door, one looking around, and three with big eyes and small eyes. Seeing that he was dressed well, he didn't know whose son-in-law brought his younger brother out to see the world. She is also accustomed to seeing the sons of rich families, the corners of the water-green skirt embroidered with folded peonies are flying all the way, the thin and pink handkerchief is pinched between her hands and thrown gently, Wen Xiang is thrown straight to Xiang Jiu's face, and she stepped forward and asked with a smile: "A few sons are well! A few sons look at their eyes, it's the first time to come to Ruixian Building, right? How do you want to play with a few nobles? Our Ruixian Building, but it's no worse than Ukiyo Building, the guests all said, if you talk about wind and fluidity, you have to ...... the girls of our Ruixian Building."

The three of them looked at Xiang Jiu together, Xiang Jiu coughed awkwardly, and said to Gong's mother: "I'm tired of my mother preparing a private room." ”

Mother Gong looked at the four of them without a trace, and when she saw that a few of them were well-behaved, she smiled and led a few people upstairs, and asked with a smile as she walked: "I don't know how many sons, what kind of girls do you like? Is it more delicate? Or is it gentle? Why don't you drink some wine first, listen to a little song and watch a few dances?"

A few people came at the right time, the finale has just begun, from the door to the private room, all I heard was the admiration of Weng Xiaoyuan, and the expectation of the 25th day to choose the leader, I was fortunate to see Weng Xiaoyuan dancing, and I was talking about how she was so stunning and wonderful. The furnishings in the private room are very elegant, and there are also four treasures of the study. Help the player hand over the water card, flower card. Xiang Jiu took the water card and glanced at it a few times, and said, "I won't use this flower card today, and give the master a plate of sheep's trotters, a plate of drunken crabs, a few side dishes to talk about, and a pot of tea." ”

Recently, the business of Ruixian Mansion is simply hot, and it is the same today, if it weren't for the private room that was temporarily vacated, a few of them might have to squeeze in the hall downstairs with those people. The idle gang agreed neatly, bowed and retreated, Gong's mother's eyes rolled on a few people, and said enthusiastically: "If the sons have any orders, just call me over!"

Several thin veils hung down on the cantilever beams of the hall, and together with the faint graceful voice, the downstairs suddenly quieted down, half of the lights in the hall were extinguished, and in the dim light, the fiery red dress swirled and flew from top to bottom, floating down to the stage. Everyone sighed that it was really like a fairy descending to earth, and their breathing slowed down a little. Li Shuci and the others didn't expect to catch up with Weng Xiaokite's performance, and they also looked at the stage intently, only to hear a woman's voice as pleasant as a warbler's cry, "Little kite, you have been waiting for a long time." ”

A sonorous piano sound suddenly rose, and the woman behind the snow-white tulle, the red water sleeves suddenly shook off, and a red dress jumped up, and the water sleeves gathered and dispersed with the flowing piano sound, setting off layers of waves. I saw her light toes twivel on the stage. The sleeves are lightly watered, and the slender fingertips emerge from the sleeves and fold into orchids. Just when everyone sighed for this scene, the song turned sharply, the stumbling figure rotated again, and the sky suddenly sprinkled snow-white feathers, flying with the clothes, red clothes and white feathers, and the sound of surprise was endless.

Xiang Jiu was dumbfounded, and even his soul was almost snatched away. muttered: "I didn't expect this Weng Xiaokite to dance so exquisitely!

Mu Yun snorted coldly: "People haven't shown their faces all the time, so you can see that they are beautiful?"

Xiang Jiu said disdainfully: "The posture is so graceful, what does it matter if you don't look at your face!"

Li Shuci was also stunned, there is such a graceful dance in the world, although he can't see the face of this woman clearly, but such a dance has already made people want to spend a lot of money, just for the beauty to smile! Everyone in the audience directly threw gold and silver at the feet of Weng Xiaokite, not to mention, there is no lack of gold and silver rewards in various private rooms, especially conspicuous is a small guy, holding a carved hollow silver plate, on which a thick stack of silver tickets is placed.

He Quan craned his neck to look at it, and said in surprise: "Fifth Master, isn't that the little guy next to Shen Hao!"

Li Shuci looked carefully in the direction of He Quan's finger, although she didn't recognize people, but an embroidery on the cuffs of the little guy did look like the emblem of the Shen family. It's just that Weng Xiaokite only dances once a time, and he doesn't perform every day. Whoever gives more gold or silver will not be moved. Weng Xiaokite danced, saw the little girl step forward, glanced at a private room upstairs, and nodded as if nothing. got up and left, the corners of Li Shuci's mouth provoked a full smile, and said, "Call Mother Gong to come up!"

Mother Gong knew that these noble sons would definitely ask for someone with her, so she pretended to be stupid and asked, "Our girl here, I think everyone has heard of it, but it is not worse than the floating world." Which one do you like?"

Mother Gong is very proud of her eyebrows now, for fear that others will not know that their fame has overshadowed the floating world, and she has mentioned it several times since they entered the door. Li Shuci was dressed in a moon-white robe, not enough but very generous, and asked casually: "Isn't it worse than Ukiyo-e-Lou? Which one is not worse than Ukiyo-e? But that one just now?"

Mother Gong was stunned, but she didn't expect her to look away today, it turned out that this little boy was the one in charge of the four. Hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile: "As soon as I heard Childe's words, I knew that Childe had extraordinary taste. Many of our girls here don't show up in front of people......"

Gong's mother raised her handkerchief and smiled, but she didn't say anything more, selling Guanzi with a proud face, after all, He Quan had been in the market since he was a child, and he quickly adapted to the atmosphere here. took out a hundred taels of silver ticket and stuffed it into her hand and said, "Mom, tell me carefully?"

Mother Gong's eyes lit up, her smile became more and more genuine, and she naturally put the silver ticket into her sleeve, guessing, where did these big money owners come from, they must also be here for Weng Xiaokite, that girl is a stubborn bone and has an idea. Now there is no way to take her, and when it comes to the twenty-fifth day, she will definitely earn a hard beat! Gong's mother's eyes rolled slightly, and she said enthusiastically: "The slave family naturally knows everything, and the words are endless! Presumably, the son has also heard about it, the Liuhua in our building, that is the true national color of the peony, and no one can take a step if they see it! There is also the green clothes, and the jade in one hand is unmatched, and there are ......."

After talking for a long time, he just couldn't get to the point, Xiang Jiu saw that what his mother said was getting more and more unlikely, and he was in a cold sweat, he himself was not very good, but the two yellow-haired girls around him were on the side, which made him feel like he was on pins and needles. Li Shuci gradually saw the doorway, interrupted Gong's mother and said, "Mom is an understanding person at first glance, so I will say it directly." If Miss Weng is free, please ask her mother to make it easier. ”

Saying that, she took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels and pressed it on the table, Weng's mother didn't expect this little boy to be so generous, and he didn't see anyone to give out so much silver, and he was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted, for the sake of it: "Oh! Childe, you don't know, our little kite grew up under me since she was a child, well-behaved and obedient, I look at that little face! I like it very much! I show up, but occasionally perform a skill or two on the stage, and I don't see any outsiders." Twenty-five is going to choose the leader, the little kite has not been out of the boudoir for a few days, and has just danced, and now she is tired!

Li Shuci smiled: "Mom, don't worry, just say a few words to Miss Weng, and stay soon." ”

When Mother Gong heard that she just said a few words, she was relieved, put away her embarrassed look, and said happily: "Since this is the case, please wait a while!"
