Chapter 15: Forgetting Life
"When did Brother Makuyama arrive in the capital? I don't notify my brother in advance! The son, surnamed Liu, asked after taking his seat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I just arrived today, this is not to see Ah Lin!" The young master looked at the person in front of him with a smile and sandwiched a piece of fish.
"Ah Lin, Ah Lin, is she already here?" When Liu Gongzi heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he saw that the tips of his ears were dyed red.
"Brother Maku is talking about Zilan's fiancée, right?" When Wu Gongzi heard this, he put down his chopsticks and interjected, "I have been talking about my little wife who has not passed through the door all day long, and there is no one in the whole capital who does not know that Lan Gongzi loves his wife like his life." ”
“…… I'm ......" Hearing this, Liu Gongzi's face became even more embarrassed.
"Brother Maku, I really like Ah Lin, don't tell her these ugly things about me!" Liu Gongzi looked like he couldn't fight his friends, so he had to beg our young master.
"Where will it be, Ah Lin is my sister, and it is lucky to meet a husband who really loves her, Zilan is also my friend, and I am happy to see the two of them have a deep love for flounder."
Looking at that Liu Gongzi is the fiancé of the eldest lady, I heard that it is the little son of the Liu family in the capital, this Liu family is also a big family, and it is also a family in the capital, the old lady Liu has also served as the emperor's teacher, and the father of the sixth little son, Master Liu, is also a waiter, Liu Gongzi is less than ten years old, and now he is also the prince's companion, and it is estimated that he will have a reputation when he is in the next scientific examination.
The group is also like-minded, and they don't know how much time has passed when they talk, and they have a few pots of wine before they know it.
"Young master, drink less." Seeing that Liu Gongzi invited Xiao Er again and was about to serve wine, I pulled the sleeve of the young master and reminded.
"Isn't this a joy today, drink a few more glasses, okay, then don't drink it." The young master is very talkative, and he has always been very self-disciplined in terms of living habits.
"I've eaten and drunk, and it's still early! I have a good place to go, I wonder if you two would like to go together? After the table was removed, Wu Gongzi turned the teacup in his hand and proposed.
"Where did Qingyuan say?" Liu Gongzi raised his eyebrows.
"Exactly." Wu Gongzi nodded, confirming Liu Gongzi's guess.
"I wonder what you two are talking about? Why did you still open the dumb riddle? The young master looked confused and asked lightly.
"Brother Jing Tan doesn't know, the world's famous 'Forgetting Life' has recently come to the capital, just over the Mingyu River, that battle is not small, these days are also night lights, all night long!" Wu Gongzi explained.
"Isn't 'forgetting life' the forgetting life?" The young master also raised his interest and said curiously.
"What Brother Jing Tan said is very true, it is the one uploaded by the rivers and lakes." Liu Gongzi replied, "However, where is it a painting boat, it's not good for me to go like this, I still want to go to see Ah Lin, how can I hide from her to go to those places!" ”
That's the reason......
"Haha, haha...... I really can't imagine that Zilan would have such an idea! When Wu Gongzi heard this, he couldn't stop laughing, and leaned over and patted Liu Gongzi's shoulder.
The young master also smiled, "How can it be, then forgetting life is not a pickled place, why is Brother Liu like this?" ”
"Well, no matter what, there's a girl here!" Liu Gongzi pointed at me, looking like that, he was going to die.
"String songs? Ge'er, do you mind? The young master looked at me and asked.
"How can it be, Xian Ge is not a pedantic person, I've been to this painting boat or something a few times, and Xian Ge is also very curious about this 'forgetting life'!" I looked at the smile on the young master's face, and I knew what I should say now.
"It turns out that the girl is famous for strings, and I haven't heard the girl mention it." That Wu Gongzi glanced at me, looked up and said.
"The little girl is just the son's attendant, how can she give her a name, and she can't be on the stage, for fear of polluting the ears of several sons!" A long time ago, the young master returned my deed, saying that I didn't need to be a slave anymore, but I thought I couldn't afford to be a staff member, so I always regarded myself as the young master's attendant and maid.
"The string song girl is humble in her words, seeing that the girl is also literate and hyphenated and has seen the world, why be humble!" Wu Gongzi didn't give up, and said a few more words.
"I'm really just the young master's maid." I'm not humble, it's a fact!
"In that case, let's go to this 'forgetfulness' to have a look, it's still early! Tomorrow, I will naturally take Ah Lin to visit Shibo in your house! The young master proposed, and by the way, he also gave Young Master Liu a reassurance.
This 'forgetting life' painting boat is different from other nighttime to start receiving guests, he is a day twelve hours there are guests, during the day may be some rivers and lakes wanderers, idle scholars, at night to look for flowers and willows in the flowers in the wave of butterflies are also a lot, no wonder Liu Gongzi does not come here much.
The sun is slanting in the west, the golden afterglow of the setting sun is reflected on the earth, the streets of Shaojing City also add a little gold, people who come and go are impatient or leisurely walking on this road, and the officials who have finished handling official business are also busy stealing, coming to this Mingyu River, and going out for a walk, collecting the wind of the small jasper, one by one holding an oil-paper umbrella, slowly walking on the bluestone road. Occasionally, the handsome boys who passed by in twos and threes blushed their cheeks and walked away quickly, and the red frost on their faces could not be dissipated for a long time.
Mingyu River is the largest river in Shaojing, the whole river spans Shaojing, divides the capital into two halves, the east is higher is the imperial city, the palace city, built around is the mansion of the princes and nobles, the mansion of the dignitaries and nobles, extends straight to the bank of the Mingyu River.
On the west side of the river are all restaurants, theaters, flower houses, and teahouses...... Only what you can't think of, nothing you can't see, at night, the whole Mingyu River is lit on the river surface, floats up a flower boat, and the whole river is lively, singing, dancing, chanting, music, right, playing......
'Forgetting Life' is in the most conspicuous place in the Mingyu River, with a tall boat, a three-story cabin that flies, a flying eaves, and a lantern hanging high. Even the most inconspicuous corners will be the center of attention. What's more, this big boat occupies the best part of the Mingyu River, and the surrounding flower boats are lined out of sight, and the 'forgetting of life' is the king of the stars holding the moon.
The first floor of the painting boat is adjacent to the water, twisting and turning, divided into small private spaces by railings and curtains, and the guests are either in groups or alone, listening to the music and looking at the beauty. The second floor is a complete hall where various Oiran performances are performed every day, and the third floor is always closed to the public, and it is a private place for painting boats.
A group of five people came to the first floor, chose a position by the window and sat down by the river, and Yu Su didn't know where to run to be an invisible person, only the four of us were left.
Liu Wu's two sons are both young talents who are the number one in the capital, even if they are really in the circle after the officials and aristocrats, they are not condescending to recognize the existence. Needless to say, I met a lot of people who came up along the way and wanted to get in touch with the two, but what bothered me was that the two of them were nothing, but there were many people looking at the young master along the way, their words flickering, and their intentions were ill-intentioned, and there were a few good intentions in their eyes, who could say clearly!
The young master has not changed his face, those scrutiny, ridicule, disgust, and sympathetic eyes have been ignored by him, "Mount Tai collapsed in front and his face did not change" I don't know how much he has suffered since he was a child In fact, how much he has been seen by this kind of vision, so that he can completely ignore it now.
A woman dressed in red came to our seat seductively and smiled coquettishly at Wu Gongzi, "Childe hasn't come to see the slave family for a long time!" "The voice is delicate but not greasy, charming but not demonic, it is really seductive.
The woman's birth is radiant, the whole face is like a peach blossom in red, the phoenix eyes are half-squinted, she looks lazy and cunning, and her figure is also slender and moderate, no more, no less. What a fairy-like woman.
"Hehuan, today I came with friends. You go get busy first! Wu Gongzi smiled apologetically at the woman who called Hehuan and persuaded.
"Got it, got it, just think I'm an eyesore!" shook the silk handkerchief in his hand and gently slapped Wu Gongzi in the face, "Let's go, I'm not here to get in your way!" He twisted his waist and left.
Wu Gongzi's face was shocked, and he said to us, "That's a lifeless acacia, there have been a few ...... before"
"What a plus!" The young master looked at the back of the acacia that was gradually moving away.
"Does Brother Maku like such a woman? I thought you liked the kind of elegant and noble like the moon, or the kind of gentle, dignified and beautiful! Liu Gongzi's eyes widened, looked at the young master and said.
"Brother Liu's words are wrong, there are many women in this world with their own styles, they can't be generalized, women always need to be cared for." The young master took the tea cup in his hand and took a shallow sip, "This forgetful tea is very good, and the craftsmanship is about to catch up with my family's string songs." ”
"String Song Girl still has this tea-making skill?" Wu Gongzi asked.
"A good woman in the world has her own style, you have to take care of it! It seems that this brother Tai is also a flower lover! Hu heard a voice from the side, "Everyone, it's rude to you, I really heard what this brother said, it makes sense, I think it is true, and I don't think I can interject a sentence, and I hope you will forgive me!" ”
Looking back, he was a young man with a long body and a jade body, dressed in green clothes, with a scholar's cyan turban, his face was like white jade, his facial features were plain, but his eyes were blazing.
Sour rot scholar, how can there be such a dressed sour rot scholar on this "forgetting life" painting boat! Hehe...... Interesting!
"It's okay, I don't know what this brother is called?" Liu Gongzi asked.
"Little but blue deep." The man saluted and reported his name, "I don't know what the brothers are called?" ”
"Liu Zilan."
"Wu Qingyuan."
"Curtain Jingtan."
Several people reported their names, and they knew each other.
Sometimes, the fate between people is so strange, in the "Forget Life" painting boat, drive away a bunch of people who want to come up to get in touch, but they meet and make a strange scholar for no reason.
