Text Chapter 67 Confucian King Jin Sheng
The battle for the leader is undoubtedly the first place in Shangjing, the Ukiyo Building.
The outstanding female actors of the five capitals of Beijing all gathered in the ukiyo-e building during this time to run for the top of the five capitals. In recent years, there have been few such lively events, but not everyone can enter the inner building to have a look, the inner building is specially prepared for VIPs in the Ukiyo Building, and the private room above is extravagant, Li Shuci naturally cannot receive the invitation of the Ukiyo Building, nor can he squeeze together with everyone in the outer building. After thinking about it, I still had to ask Helian Tao for help, anyway, the two of them went into the morgue together at night to look at the corpse, and it was not bad to look at the Oiran together.
Helian Tao happily agreed, first, the Ukiyo Tower is not such an obscene pickled place, and Li Shuci will not go to the Qinglou to see any Oiran for no reason. Second, the Yaksha sister in the family also wants to join in this excitement with him, so that the two girls can also take care of each other in one place, so that he will not feel comfortable being tied up by his sister, and just let Helian Yu go to Li's house to pick up Li Shuci together.
Li Shuci and Mu Yun are tall and dressed in men's clothes, unless they are very familiar people, they can't see their female identities at all. And Helian Yu didn't care if others could recognize her at all, and once made a big fuss about going to the Jingqing Building in order to find Helian Tao, which made the bustard mothers tremble unconsciously when they saw him. It's just that Li Shuci didn't expect that there would be not only the sixth prince Jin Yao, who had a lot of dealings with Helian Tao on weekdays, but also the fourth prince Jin Sheng, who didn't often appear in front of people on weekdays.
Confucian King Jin Sheng, ranked fourth among the princes, from Concubine De, a very outstanding figure in the royal family of this dynasty, Emperor Xuwen dealt with natural disasters, floods, people's livelihood and other things, and was mostly appointed to the four princes, so the four princes had an excellent reputation, and now he is the only prince who is crowned the king of the dynasty. Li Shuci looked over carefully, the bridge of the Confucian king's nose was high, his thin lips were pursed, and under his dark and deep eyes, there was a tear mole, which slightly added a touch of warmth to his cold temperament.
And the sixth prince Jin Yao is still as warm as ever. Helian Tao gave Li Shuci a look, and Li Shuci immediately pulled Mu Yun to stand behind Helian Tao and Helian Yu, pretending to be a waiter. Helian Yu often went to the palace to talk to the Queen Mother, and he was very familiar with several princes, and he didn't mind, so he suppressed his excitement and said: "This floating world building really deserves its name!"
"Why did the Confucian King come with you?" Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, Li Shuci pulled Helian Tao behind him and asked quietly.
Helian Tao spread his hands and said helplessly: "The prince came to this kind of place, and it was not easy to show his identity, so he had to accept my name, and I don't know why the Confucian King was so interested and came with the six princes." ”
The ukiyo-e building occupies a vast area and is exquisitely carved, and a large area of short pines in the park stands in the snow color of the mountain rocks. There are pines, there are snow, there are stones, there is indeed a kind of poetry that floats in the world, all the flower halls of today's ukiyo-e building are wide open on all sides, although it is winter, but it is not cold in time, and the four corners of the house are burning with good silver frost charcoal. There are two words painted on the wall of the flower hall, one sentence is the golden tripod is boiling, the hall is quiet, and the pine wind and bamboo snow are there. One sentence is the dragon and phoenix swimming in the clouds, the incense mist rises, and the moon is flying.
Li Shuci muttered: "This ten out of ten poetry is indeed comforting. ”
Li Shuci followed behind everyone, speaking in a very small voice, feeling that only she could hear it, but she didn't expect the Confucian King to look back at her somehow, the light brown tear mole under his eyes was especially conspicuous in the sun, adding a bit of carelessness to his calm complexion, she didn't know how to react, but the Confucian King had already turned around, so that she didn't know if she had shown her tracks.
Most of the tricksters of the ukiyo-e building are well-known and have a good upbringing, and there is no shortage of beautiful women who are both beautiful and artistic, and most of the people who usually come and go are the romantic talents of the official eunuch family, and the literati and scholars. These women are talented, gentle and beautiful, and are often more likely to be the pink confidants of the merry boys.
In the warm pavilion prepared for the girls in the ukiyo-e building, all the women in the hall are deliberately dressed, dressed in brocade clothes, or huddled together in twos and threes, or sitting alone on the side, all covered with tulle, and do not want people to see their appearances. Weng Xiaoyuan was wearing a lilac-colored cotton silk hooded cloak, holding a blue and white five-bat pear-shaped pipa in her arms, sitting upright, Xinghuang softly pushed the door and came in from outside, put away her worry, walked to Weng Xiaokite's side, squatted down to tidy up her skirt, and said in a low voice: "Girl, Li Gongzi has news." ”
Weng Xiaoyuan sat up straight, slowly relaxed and asked, "What do you say?"
He said that when the feast was over, someone would come to pick up the girl, so please relax and not think about it. Xinghuang saw that no one was paying attention to them around her, and whispered, "Girl, can we really trust that son......?" What are we going to do in the future?"
Weng Xiaoyuan was silent, she didn't know how to say it, but that Li Gongzi's words were enough to convince her, and her plan had already been spied on by him, how could she not be obedient?
With Helian Tao's identity, Ukiyo naturally prepared a private room in advance, and looked down from the window of the private room, just in time to see the platform set up in the center of the lobby. The platform is hung with a thin snow veil on all sides, and the open windows can see that the inner building and the outside have been wrapped tightly by the crowd, in addition to the spectators sitting on the seats, there are also all kinds of people standing on the periphery, etc., bustling and lively. The lobby is very spacious, at least two of the size of the Rui Xian Building.
As soon as the hour came, in the crisp and soft voice of Ya Niang in the floating world, everyone present quieted down, Ya Niang walked to the center of the stage in a red dress, it can be seen that many people present came to cheer her up, Ya Niang is famous for her eight-sided exquisite, long-sleeved good dance, that mature and charming style, will attract the eyes of everyone present.
I have to say that Ya Niang is indeed a good hand who can mobilize the atmosphere, and on her smiling face, a pair of narrow and beautiful eyes are ashamed to say to everyone present. The sixth prince commented: "This lady is interesting? To be able to be like a fish in water in such a huge network in Shangjing, I am afraid that she is a very scheming woman." ”
The Confucian King was not moved by Ya Niang's charm, and he seemed to be in a good mood today, so he rarely opened his mouth to explain: "What you said is right, when Ya Niang entered Beijing at the beginning of the year, her talent and skills were also very outstanding, her appearance was excellent, and she liked to go to banquets and tours. Ya Niang has contacts with most families in Shangjing, and she is very open in the scene, as long as she speaks, she can basically get help. ”
Unexpectedly, the Confucian King could be a treasurer of a Qinglou girl's past, Li Shuci was stunned, but the six princes were used to the fact that the Confucian King knew everything, and nodded yes.
At this time, Yaniang had already stepped off the stage, and a woman holding a guqin in her arms stepped forward and sat down, bent her knees slightly and did not speak, stretched out her hand to take off the veil, and only smiled, it was like a breeze, comfortable to people's hearts. The delicate fingers plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano sounded like it came from the sky.
On the second floor, many people in the private room walked to the door, leaned on the railing and looked down, only to hear one person say: "This, named Lanwei, is a good girl from Huadu in Beijing, her family is ruined, and she is a musician. ”
After a while, the song ended, and there was a cheer below, which was sandwiched with loud admiration and applause, Li Shuci also listened attentively, although she was not good at playing the piano, but she could also hear that the sound of the piano had indeed been practiced with hard work, Helian Tao saw that she listened carefully, and said on the side: "Hard labor has been done, and there is true affection, but there is a lack of aura." ”
Li Shuci didn't expect him to say this, and wanted to ask: Do you also know the guqin? It's just that there are two princes next to her, so she can't say much, so she has to swallow it back, not to mention that she also came with the help of other people's face. Or don't take this kind of naked questioning out of your mouth. As a result, Helian Yu on the side shouted: "I said Helian Tao, don't you don't know how to pretend to understand, okay, I think this girl plays well." ”
Helian Tao couldn't help but laugh at Helian Yu's name when he called him, glanced at Li Shuci, and saw that her eyes were full of smiles, and couldn't help but laugh too. Seeing that Helian Tao didn't refute her, Helian Yu looked at him strangely and muttered, "How did you change sex today!"
The Confucian King's gaze followed Helian Tao around Li Shuci twice, and was pulled to the front by the sixth prince, "Fourth brother, look, this girl's dancing is quite good!"
A girl named Green Sheath appeared on the stage, standing with flowers in her mouth, feathers on her head, silver bells hanging on her bare feet, the song was light and cheerful, her waist was soft, and she twirled happily on the drum, which reminded Li Shuci of a sentence: There are beautiful women in the southern country, and the green waist dances lightly.
Li Shuci secretly thought in his heart that these talented women were no worse than the musicians and dancers used by the royal family at the palace banquet. There are a total of 24 female performers participating in today's election, either chanting poetry and sword dance, or sheng flute, Weng Xiaoyuan is the biggest gimmick today, whether it is for the sake of wealth or fame, she should be rearranged to take the stage later.
Full of women, all extraordinary, like a garden full of flowers clustered together, can't tell who is more beautiful and better, just feel that each has its own merits, equally divided, everyone present is discussing, curious what kind of strange woman Weng Xiaokite is, can she be confident that she can stand out among so many gorgeous women?
Finally, Weng Xiaokite slowly walked onto the stage holding the pipa in the buzz of everyone's expectation, still veiled, the green silk was pulled high into a bun of Lingyun, and a pair of autumn eyes were rolling horizontally. Someone below couldn't hold it back and shouted: "Why don't you take off the veil and let us see if it's worth it!"
Someone starts, and someone immediately chims in. There was a lot of cries from the audience. But when Weng Xiaokite hugged the pipa on his back, his right leg was slightly bent, his left leg was lightly raised on his right knee, and he stood on the stage at that moment. Just standing there in such a dancing posture, without lifting the veil or speaking, everyone knows that today, no one can take away the slightest of her brilliance.
