Chapter 90: The Legend of Oiran
The capital of the Yue Gardenia Kingdom.
"Yuefeng Restaurant", two young men sit on the window seats. The shorter one has phoenix eyes and eyebrows, and his appearance is soft but his face is cold, but his temperament is outstanding, and he knows at a glance that he is either rich or expensive.
The other is very tall, but he was born like a full moon, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, smiling before speaking, and a hearty and handsome face, which is Ling Huqing and Aye, who have just come to the capital.
"Senior brother, what are you eating?" Ah Ye soaked the dishes and chopsticks with boiling water in the pot and placed them in front of Ling Huqing.
Ling Huqing's eyes kept staring diagonally to the opposite side, as if he was very interested in the carriages and people coming and going. Diagonally opposite the "Yuefeng Restaurant" is the first green building in the capital "Xiaoxiang Pavilion", because of the existence of this "Xiaoxiang Pavilion", the whole street is very lively, eating, staying in the store, selling snacks, making clothes, and the business is very good.
Ling Huqing came back to his senses and said, "But it's up to the senior brother to decide", and after saying that, his eyes drifted out of the window again, but his brows furrowed.
The gate of Xiaoxiang Pavilion is simply full of people, and from time to time there are dignitaries and nobles who come in eight sedan chairs, who are these people? Is there anything to do with the disappearance of the "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" Oiran?
If you want to figure out these things, it seems that you have to go to the place where the money is sold, but it is really not convenient for you to go in alone, and you are good at getting along with people, not to mention dealing with these Qinglou women and mothers. If you let Aye go, I don't know why I always feel so uncomfortable in my heart.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a somewhat familiar voice asking, "There are a lot of people in the store, can you share a table with Childe?"
A strong fragrance rushes to the nose, and then a delicate pink hibiscus flower comes into view.
Linghu Qingxin said: It's okay now, this old tree spirit has come at the right time.
Murong Feng was holding a jade fan, dressed in red, and he was a suave, chic and uninhibited noble son at first glance.
"Murong Gongzi, Miss Yu, Miss Yan, why are you here?" Ah Ye looked at the three people who suddenly appeared, his mouth was wide open, and he was about to stuff a big steamed bun.
"Oh, why are you guys, what a coincidence!" Murong Feng was also surprised as soon as he put away the fan, pretending to meet it by chance. However, the traces of the performance are too heavy, and the movements are slightly exaggerated, and the white eyes of Hu Yu behind him are about to roll to the ceiling.
"Sit, sit, everyone sit", Ano asked everyone to sit down, and said loudly to the cousin in the hall: "Order food!"
The hall man lowered his hand and said respectfully: "What does the boss command, the little one will do it immediately", just when Aye was inexplicable, Murong Feng said: "Go, bring the most expensive and best wine and food in the store!"
Ah Ye was simply dumbfounded, what do you mean? Murong Feng is the owner of this restaurant? Obediently, this is too rich, and he actually did business in the capital! Ah Ye looked at Murong Feng with admiration on his face, and flattered: "Murong Gongzi is really a pillar of the business world, and there is a way to make money!" Murong Feng said with a spring breeze on his face: "Where is it, Senior Brother Mo has a good reputation, and it is a little business." ”
Ling Hu Qingqian glanced at Murong Feng obliquely, and the old tree spirit shook his head and shook a jade fan into the air, showing off the smugness on his face, and felt more and more that he was an eyesore, and said in his heart: Let you show off first, and later...... Hum.......
The dishes are served one by one, and these dishes are made by famous chefs in the capital at a glance, and the methods are exquisite and extremely luxurious.
Braised bear paw with crucian carp tongue, shredded chicken soup with bird's nest, goose gizzard palm soup, steamed deer tail, eight treasure wild duck, hanging pheasant, bergamot gold roll...... ,
There are also many exquisite snacks and desserts.
Ling Huqing saw the overlapping dishes in front of her but didn't move a single chopstick, she was tired of eating and vomiting since she was a child, okay, this old tree spirit coaxed Aye to never see the world.
"Brother Murong, you came just in time, I don't know if you have heard about this "Xiaoxiang Pavilion"?" Ling Huqing asked.
"Senior Brother Ye is the right person, the matter of this "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" Oiran has long been spread all over the capital, and I naturally know some of it. Murong Feng told what he knew.
It turns out that the reason why this "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" is known as "the first green building in the capital" is very different from those ordinary Goolan Washe.
The general Goolan Tile House, such as the "Baihualou" that Yunshan Yunyuan often visits, no matter how expensive the girl is, spend a few dozen taels of silver, and then send a tip to the mother, and the matter will be done, to ensure that the girl is obedient to you.
As long as they give money, these girls don't choose, the young brother can accompany them, the butcher Zhang next door can also accompany them, and even the eighty-year-old Wang Tou'er on North Street who only has a breath in and does not have much anger can also be accompanied.
But this green building, especially the girl of the "first green building in Beijing", is different. These girls are all first-class in appearance and talent, and they are easy to write poems and play the piano and paint.
The mind and vision are even higher to the sky, the rich businessmen are covered with a copper smell, the talented poor Xiucai is full of a poor sour smell, the military generals are too rude, and the civil servants are too pedantic, anyway, there are really very few people who can enter their eyes.
Not to mention those who have been raised from a young age with brocade clothes and jade food, and who are talented and good-looking, even if the princes and ministers spend thousands of dollars, they may not be able to make the beauty smile.
The most recent disappearance is the last "Oiran Lady", named Lisheng, eighteen years old, born with a beautiful appearance, and a country and a city.
"The autumn water is the god jade for the bone, and the hibiscus is like the face of the willow and the plum", but also the fine poetry, good at tuning the piano, and combing the literati and scholars in the capital for a while, the princes and grandsons competed to support the scene. The great poet personally wrote poems for her, and legend has it that even the prince had to kiss Fangze.
But this is also an unfortunate one, just when it was popular, but it was suddenly swept away by a gust of black wind, and there was no news again.
If you want to say that the most anxious person is definitely the mother of "Xiaoxiang Pavilion". How much money and hard work have been invested to cultivate such an "Oiran Lady", seeing that she is about to rely on this precious daughter to make money every day, and disappear without knowing it, she is naturally anxious.
Although he quickly pushed out another girl called "Lianxi", although there were six points similar to "Lisheng" between the eyebrows and eyes, but those nobles and benefactors did not buy it, and they all said that this "little Oiran lady" was a little worse in description, and her feelings were mediocre, and only some vassal and elegant businessmen were still willing to send money, which was a world away from the glory of the past.
Rumors are better than one day, all say that this "Oiran Lady" was captured by the ghost king, and this "Oiran Lady" is a palace lady, and another said that this "Oiran Lady" and people have made a private agreement for life, designed to escape, and some of the plot made up in combination with the strange things that have happened recently is incredible.
Ah Ye could hear it, and he forgot to put the chicken leg in the bowl with chopsticks, "Murong Gongzi, what's the strange thing?"
Murong Feng whispered: "Recently, no one in the capital dares to marry", and pretended to be mysterious: "Do you know why?"
Hu Yan and Hu Yuquan were fascinated by this, their eyes looked at Murong Feng together, and asked, "Why?"
"Since the disappearance of the Oiran lady, the brides of several families have disappeared in the process of welcoming their relatives!"
