Chapter Forty-Six: Is the Lord a Mouse or a Cat?!
As soon as they stepped on the threshold of the high pavilion, everyone had the feeling of traveling back in time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The resplendent hall is covered with plain Persian carpets, and a walkway runs through the center of the hall, with rosewood high-backed chairs and tea tables on either side of the corridor. At the end of the aisle is a Huanghuali Luohan couch, which is covered with a soft mattress of goose yellow brocade, and a Huanghuali coffee table is placed in the center. On the coffee table, there is a bronze gilt four-beast foot incense burner, and the cover is a sheep fat jade carved fox. The body of the jade is round, simple and cute, in the green smoke like a cloud driving the mist, the fragrance released in the furnace seems to be absent, which makes people flutter like immortals.
Not only that, but even the blue and white porcelain vase beside the couch, the tourmaline tassel that wraps around the curtain, the sandalwood bookshelf standing behind the chair, and the allusion painting of the caisson on the roof are all quite charming, not clumsy and inexpensive.
"Wow, you can shoot costume dramas here......" Xiao Ke exclaimed.
"yes, it's like an antiquities museum." Even the well-informed Uncle Xiong couldn't help but praise him.
"How much does this cost......" Li Gan was already dazzled by this formation.
"Who are you? Why do you trespass after our store closes? β
A young male voice came suddenly, like the sound of a silver dollar colliding, crisp and cold.
The three people who watched the interior before were all taken aback, only Tao Qian's expression did not change.
"It's Taxuan, right?" Tao Qian said to the air, "It's really rude to visit during the business break, but I have an important matter, so I have to come here to ask for help, and I hope you will forgive me." β
"It turned out to be Lord Tao Qian."
A long figure emerged from the shadows behind the sandalwood bookshelf, a young man dressed in an azure robe and tied with a white python leather belt. The young man had bright black hair, his skin was as pale as porcelain, and his facial features were as handsome as a lie. A pair of green eyes are like inhaling the emerald of the night, and at first glance it will make people feel dizzy.
"It's so handsome......" Xiao Ke was fascinated by it.
"Taxuan was late." There was a hint of apology on the young man's face. "Just sent off a difficult guest, please don't be surprised."
"It's okay, Brother Bai's business is booming, it's too late for me to be happy for him, how can I blame you." Tao Qian said with a smile.
"Who are the ...... here?" Green eyes looked at Li Qian and the others.
"Players of ghost games." Tao Qian said briefly.
"Oh." The young man replied, "My master is not here, you have to stay a little longer." β
"It's okay." Tao Qian said, "Can I ask where he went?" β
"Well...... "This is " Ta Xuan showed an embarrassed expression, "...... Old place. β
"Understood." Tao Qian nodded.
Before the words fell, I heard a recitation of Peking Opera from outside the high pavilion.
"Love Concubine~~"
Then there is the oratorio with full words.
"On the seventh day of the seventh month in front of the Palace of Eternal Life, when no one whispered in the middle of the night, it was like the prodigal son who returned to his hometown in shame, you don't mention the absurdity of the past, who can match the relationship between you and me, there is a spirit between the two hearts." Then he played the beat with his own soundtrack, and the male key changed to a female voice and continued to sing, "Erlang he poured out the intention of repentance, the king's frankness is really fascinating, the pear blossom cried in the wind several times, but he saw that the branches had not moved, and from now on the broken mirror became a round, fortunately I have a basis for the remnant of spring." β
The melodious and melodious sound rippled in the heaven and earth, and when everyone was listening to it intoxicated, they suddenly saw eight white mice without a trace of variegated color carrying a palm-sized sedan chair into the high pavilion. As soon as the rats put the sedan chair down, they scattered and ran away, and there was no trace of them. Li Gan, Xiao Ke and Xiong Jing looked at each other, not knowing where the sedan chair was.
When Ta Xuan saw the sedan chair, he immediately went over and knelt down on one knee.
"Master, you're back."
The young man bowed respectfully, and then carefully lifted the curtain on the sedan chair.
With a "bang" like a trick, the sedan chair disappeared, and was replaced by a silver-haired man wearing a dragon robe from Peking Opera. The man has a fair complexion, a noble face, and a flirtatious smile. A folding fan with a leaky veil in his hand can peek through the door.
"Ah, love concubine, I'm back~"
The silver-haired man was still unsatisfied with the tone of Peking opera, and used a folding fan to pick up the chin of Taxuan, who was kneeling on one knee.
Looking at the dragon robe man who suddenly appeared, Xiao Ke's cheeks turned crimson again and he didn't know it. Compared with the Ta Xuan in front of him, although this man is slightly lower in height, he is more imposing than the handsome Ta Xuan.
"Master ......" The teased Ta Xuan's face was slightly red, "Don't make trouble......"
"It's fun not to make trouble~" The silver-haired man smiled, "Come on, come on, sing a piece of Shiro visiting my mother with me~"
"Master, there are guests here." Ta Xuan reminded a little anxiously.
"Huh? Guest? β
Only then did the silver-haired man notice Li Gan, Xiao Ke, Xiong Jing, and of course Tao Qian standing next to him.
"I've never seen these people's faces before......" The man's face was suspicious, but when he saw Tao Qian, he immediately smiled. Brother Tao~! β
The silver-haired man happily pounced, but Tao Qian pressed his chest with a black scabbard that he didn't know where to conjure.
"Unload this pile of stuff from you first, Bai Xun." Tao Qian's face was serious, but he couldn't hide his unbearable emotions.
"Oh, I know~! Brother Tao, wait for me~! Bai Xun turned his head and ran towards Taxuan, but he was afraid that Tao Qian would run away, so he turned back and asked. Wait for me~! β
"Let's go." Tao Qian urged him to go over like a child, and as soon as Bai Xun left his side, Tao Qian immediately exhaled.
"What's the matter, Brother Tao?" Li Qian asked with concern.
"Those things on his body are too angry." Tao Qian whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
"Angry?" Li Qian didn't understand.
"It's the killing intent on the ghosts that have been stuck in the Yang Realm for a long time." Tao Qian said, "That kind of thing makes me uncomfortable. β
"Oh." Li Gan nodded, although he still didn't quite understand, but he knew how to stop at a shallow level.
"What is this fan?" Ta Xuan asked when he took the leaky yarn folding fan in Bai Xun's hand.
"Look at the Lang fan, the things from the late Qing Dynasty were all found in one place with the costumes on my body." Bai Xun said, "These two things are average, not as good as the baby I pressed the soles of my boots." β
Bai Xun lifted the hem of the costume like a girl lifting her skirt, revealing a pair of fish-scale high-top boots, and he took out a folding fan from inside the boots.
"Look at Taxuan, this is a three-sided fan~"
Bai Xun turned his back to Li Qian and his party, and only he and Taxuan could see the front.
"Three-sided fan? It's a rare thing. Ta Xuan was surprised, "Master, you can actually exchange it, it's really amazing." β
"Look at this fan, it can be opened left and right." Bai Xun smiled and said, "Look inside." β
"Hmm~!" When he saw the contents of the three-sided fan, Ta Xuan's eyes almost didn't pop out. "I didn't expect this kind of content in the three-sided fan~?!"
"yes, that's good, right~?" Bai Xun smiled evilly.
"Well, that's good~!" Taxuan's face was about to sink into the fan.
"Uncle Xiong, what do you say they are looking at?" was fooled by their performance, Li Gan was so curious in his heart. "What's in that three-sided fan?"
"Ahem, do you want to know?" Xiong Jing lowered his head and whispered.
"Think, uncle, just tell me." Li Qianyang begged.
Xiong Jing told him the truth about the three-sided fan in his ear.
"What?! You say it's ...... Spring Palace?! β
Li Gan swallowed the word "picture" back, but fortunately, the two guys in front of him who were looking at the fan didn't seem to hear it at all.
"Ta Xuan, do you guess these two people on the fan are men or women?" Bai Xun asked suddenly.
"Of course, it's a man and a woman who do this kind of thing." Stepping on the road.
"Then guess which one is male and which one is female." Bai Xun asked again.
"Of course, men with beards and women with buns." Ta Xuan thought it was too easy to guess.
"Are you sure?" "I'm sure."
"Dangdangdang, the answer is revealed~!" Bai Xun pressed the mechanism on the handle of the fan, and the picture of the Spring Palace, which originally had clothes on the fan surface, disappeared instantly.
"What...... Catβs meow......?! β
After seeing the truth, Ta Xuan was immediately dumbfounded.
"How is this possible?! Master, I don't read much, don't fool me! β
"I didn't get you." Seeing Ta Xuan's reaction, Bai Xun smiled from ear to ear.
"Then tell me where this woman's beard came from?!" Ta Xuan said loudly.
"I grew it myself~!" "I don't believe it! There's definitely some secret here! β
"Ahem......" Tao Qian coughed, reminding them that it was almost there.
"Brother Tao, I'm coming~!"
The bits and pieces of Bai Xun's body fell to the ground in an instant, along with the dragon robe, and Li Gan watched in amazement as he walked over the pile of things on the ground in a white robe embroidered with golden flowers, and walked towards them with a smile.
Are you a trickster?! Li Gan couldn't help shouting in his heart. And your other side flower, can't you embroider it red?! The golden thread and the curvature of the petals are no different from chrysanthemums at a glance!!
"Let's introduce ourselves."
"My name is Bai Xun and I am the chief CEO of this whiteboard pawn shop." The silver-haired young man introduced with a smile.
Whiteboard Pawn Shop...... How does it sound so much like a mahjong parlor......
Li Gan felt that the name of this pawn shop did not match this building covered by bamboo forests and shrouded in moonlight.
"And this three-good young man named Ta Xuan is my exclusive account man." The silver-haired youth continued.
"Master, why are you the chief CEO and I am still the bookkeeper?" The black-haired young man expressed his inner dissatisfaction, "You can give yourself a fashionable name, and then leave me alone, right?" β
"Okay, that's the assistant to the CEO." The silver-haired young man laughed, "It's okay now." β
"That's pretty much it." The brunette youth was happy.
"By the way, what are the three good youths?" Xiao Ke asked a little shyly.
"Oh, it's just that the people are good, the looks are good, the work is good, and the three good young people are good in these three aspects." Bai Xun teased.
"It's ......a good job," Li Gan and Xiong Jing's faces darkened at the same time.
"Hahahahaha~! Step on Xuan, look at their faces, hahahaha~! It's so fun~! β
Bai Xun smiled and leaned back and forth, and accidentally, a slender and fluffy white tail came out from the hem of the robe behind him, unconsciously swaying left and right.
As soon as he saw the tail, the black-haired young man's eyes immediately shrank into two thin slits, and the nails on his hands became sharper and longer.
"The host...... The master ...... "Taxuan didn't dare to touch Bai Xun, so he could only remind him in a whisper." "Your tail is exposed......"
"What's going on? Brother Tao? β
Seeing that something was wrong, Li Gan hurriedly asked Tao Qian, who was familiar with them.
"Don't panic." Tao Qian said, "Bai Xun is a weasel with a thousand-year cultivation, and Ta Xuan is a cat demon with a thousand-year-old cultivation, they just show the prototype." β
