Mei Niang helplessly held her forehead, "Look at me, this excitement is over." She held her head on her forehead, and her charm was self-existing.

"Come on, come on, please, please."

Gou Yulin asked as he walked, "Mei Niang, I heard that your red lotus is finally ripe?" The words were full of teasing.

"What are you talking about, Lord Sima, our red lotus is obviously a green little fruit, it can only be said to be a fledgling little person, far away from those people." Mei Niang pretended not to understand the meaning of Gou Yulin's words, and said with a smile.

"Oh? Is it a small green fruit? Gou Yulin raised his eyebrows, he was very familiar with these responses, "Then you have to give me a copy of this little fruit tonight." ”

"Master Sima is here, and our red lotus has come out of it." The small jade-handled fan in Mei Niang's hand covered her mouth, and her eyes were bent into the first quarter moon.

Lin Zicong walked without hurrying or interjecting, just observing the facilities of the Red Mansion.

Although it is called the Red Mansion, in fact, it is not very red inside. When you enter the door, you will see four large screens, on which are painted four beautiful women playing the piano, dancing, singing, or painting.

Bypassing the screen, there are four large log-colored pillars in the hall, a solid wood is left in the inner layer, and the outer layer is a hollow pattern, which is the same as the door is a flower with entwined branches, which is very exquisite. The outside of the column was only stained with a layer of varnish, and it was not painted with too much color. There is a candle flame burning in the hollow pattern, exuding a warm glow, translucent and translucent. If you look closely, you can see that the outside is covered with a layer of glass.

The first floor was very empty, and a huge prince was built against the wall behind it, and the platform was covered by white curtains, so that it was difficult to see the scene inside.

On either side of the table are scattered square tables and bar stools, and on the second floor aisle along the fence are also large and small tables. There is a pale cyan veil hanging between the pillars next to the small table, faintly sufficient.

The Red House is a song and dance shop, which is generally open from sunrise in the morning to the early hours of the morning. Among them, in the evening, the number of people is the largest.

At this time, the large and small tables were full. The people upstairs also craned their necks to look down.

The people in the private room also occasionally lifted the curtain and glanced out.

"Is the private room I booked ready?" Gou Yulin asked.

"Okay, why not?" Mei Niang's smile was a little shaky, "Lord Sima, please come here." Mei Niang has prepared the best private room for you. ”

Mei Niang led the way in front and said to Lin Zicong, who was observing the surroundings: "What does Mr. Lin think of my Red Mansion?" What about Yundu's? ”

Gou Yulin didn't stop it, and looked at it with a smile. The officials who followed behind him were even more afraid to say anything.

Lin Zicong retracted his gaze and stroked the fan with his hand, "It's okay, it's not up or down compared to the clouds." However, the red mansion in Yundu is graceful and luxurious, while the style of Jiangcheng is beautiful and refined. ”

Mei Niang giggled, "Mr. Lin has a good word. ”

"Where, where." Lin Zicong said modestly.

Gou Yulin echoed Mei Niang's words, and the accompanying officials also praised Lin Zicong's way of speaking.

While talking, I had arrived at the door of the private room.

"Inside, please." Mei Niang opened the door and stood at the door, bowing slightly.

Gou Yulin's eyes first circled around the room three times, as if he was unintentional, but in fact, he looked around clearly.

"Mei Niang is stingy, this house is very good, but I really haven't been here."

The room is surrounded by a blue veil, and there are windows that can be opened on three sides, one window is wide open, so you can intuitively see the stage on the first floor, and the other two sides are not open, but they are not bad.

In the middle of the room there was a table made of vines. The legs of the table are six coiled solid wood, and the top is a hollow plane made of vines, with small grass beads hanging from the edges. Next to the table are six rattan chairs. The table is not big, but it is not small, and there are six people seated around.

As for the other side, which has no windows, it is blocked by a four-fold screen, and it is impossible to see the reality inside. The screen depicts an endless lotus pond and a red lotus that looks like a bath in fire.

"Lord Sima, I'm wrong." Mei Niang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "This house is newly built." I didn't have this dress before. You haven't been here for a while, but you don't know that the style of our private rooms in the Red Mansion has changed again, and most of them are in this style. ”

"Oh~ Then I'm wrong to blame Mei Niang. Xiaosheng apologized for this. Gou Yulin listened to it and made a strange gesture.

Mei Niang smiled, "Lord Sima, don't tease the little girl, let's go in quickly." ”

"Xiaosheng obeys orders." Gou Yulin followed Mei Niang and smiled, but his eyes never left Lin Zicong.

But Lin Zicong always smiled and didn't say anything. Even if he listened to him laughing with Mei Niang, his expression did not change.

"Master Sima, let's go in. Don't keep standing at the door to embarrass Mei Niang. He Wanqing said with a grin.

"Wan Qing is very right, go in quickly." Gou Yulin stretched out his hand and invited Lin Zicong in.

Enter the house.

"Mei Niang will serve us some good dishes with wine first. Add us another table. Although this rattan table is beautiful, it can't seat so many of us. ”

"It's natural. Adults, wait a minute. Mei Niang made a squatting salute and retired.

Soon after, the table was raised, and it was also a rattan table. It's more than enough to have two tables in the room.

When the group was seated, a few plates of cold dishes were also served.

A gust of incense blew in, and I saw a string of women entering from behind the screen and stopping in front of the screen.

There were a total of five women, all wearing a dark blue silver embroidered hundred butterfly flower skirts, the cuffs were slightly loose, and the turbulent arc was tactful.

The five of them saluted lightly in front of the screen to Gou Yulin and the others, with a smile on their faces that was not flattering, bright and unassuming.

The five women have different styles, and three of them hold musical instruments in their hands, a pipa, a pipe, and a piano.

Someone removed the screen from behind it, revealing a platform that was three inches higher than the ground. There are three chairs on either side of the table.

Three women with musical instruments walked up to the chairs and sat down diagonally, while the other two women walked briskly up to the stage and took their poses.

The melodious sound of Xiao was raised, and the two women flicked their hands lightly, and they saw that the sleeves had turned into two-meter-long water sleeves. The two sleeves met in the air, wrapped, separated, retracted, and only in the blink of an eye, like a glimpse of an epiphany. The two of them moved in unison, turned around and flicked their sleeves, like swimming dragons in the sea. Spinning like a butterfly, jumping like a rabbit, and throwing her sleeves gracefully.

With the ups and downs of Xiao Sheng, the mellow pipa sound slowly blends in, like a whisper of sympathy for the world, gentle and lingering. The lingering water sleeves are also like lingering lovers, relying on each other from time to time.

The sound of the piano also slowly joined, the sound of the pipa became high-pitched, and the sound of Xiao also became rapid, as if the lovers had become fierce because of the quarrel. The dance has also become faster. Changing hands, inverting wrists, flicking sleeves, the speed is getting faster and faster, and the music is getting faster and faster.

Suddenly, the music slowed down. The dance has also slowed down, and it seems that the relationship between lovers has gradually improved.

……

"Good!" Gou Yulin was the first to applaud. The people around him also applauded.

Lin Xi listened to the applause, his heart jumped, and his face was silent.

It's been a long time since he'd seen someone who applauded him so directly. To be precise, he had never seen such applause in the Red Mansion.

There are many artists in the Red Mansion, whether it is singing and dancing, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so no one can regard the people of the Red Mansion as ordinary courtesans. Few people who can appreciate will applaud on such occasions, and even if they don't appreciate, they will not applaud at will, tarnishing art.

Lin Zicong's face is also unchanged, after all, he has not seen such a thing.

"Why didn't Mr. Lin speak, did he think it was bad?" Lin Zicong didn't speak, but Gou Yulin came up by himself, smiling, and couldn't see anything on his face.

Lin Zicong said: "Very good, several artists have vividly expressed the division and integration between lovers, which is very perfect." ”

"Then why not applaud." Gou Yulin was deliberately embarrassed, "But I look down on it." ”

This is a good problem that Gou Yulin deliberately made a hurdle to probe Lin Zicong's bottom line. If he applauds, it means that he is a sleek or obedient person, willing to put down his face, of course, he may also be a black-bellied guy; If he doesn't applaud and object, then he may be a hard stubble, a bull temper, and he may have a hard time; If he had said something else, then he would have been a cunning and treacherous man. It depends on how Lin Zicong answers.
