22. Ling Street
In the peach garden, Xuanzhi Qi, who was playing with the peach blossoms, heard the footsteps, turned his head to look, and when he saw Lu Xun finally coming back, he hurriedly greeted him excitedly. "Brother! It is said that you went to your brother's place? How have you been in contact with him lately? Whether it's good or not, he's also a smart guy, and it's not bad to have a good relationship with him. ”
Lu Xun glanced at him, saw that he was red, didn't say anything, and went directly into the house.
Xuanzhi Qi followed in, "It is said that a few days ago, a new courtesan came to the Xianning Pavilion on Lingjie, who is gentle and beautiful, and her alluring capital is called the first beauty in the capital. Her singing voice is also extremely beautiful, like a heavenly sound. ”
Lu Xun didn't say a word, just sat down from the desk, picked up the pen and paper and began to draw.
Xuan Zhiqi glanced at the movements of his hands, feeling slightly bored. "Paint your goddess again? Seriously, according to your drawing, although she looks beautiful and lovely, she is far from the wealth of Allure, and she is now an old woman, estimated to be thirty. With your status, what kind of good sex do you want? Why worry about her alone? ”
Lu Xun ignored it as if he hadn't heard it, and drew attentively and carefully.
Xuanzhi Qi's eyes rolled. "Anyway, now that you're idle, why don't you accompany me to the Xianning Pavilion to see the legendary courtesan? It is said that today she will openly choose a listener to drink and sing with her. ”
Seeing that he still didn't react, he had to be honest. "Okay, okay, seriously, with your posture that no one can compare with in the whole city, if you go, you will definitely be chosen, and you will take me with you when the time comes. For my brother's sake, how about you accompany me? ”
Lu Xun finally spoke, but his output was sarcastic and disdainful. "You want me to go shopping with you. Floor? "That attitude, as if to say that this is a big joke.
"Oops!" Xuanzhi Qi is thick-skinned! "What's wrong with the Qinglou? It's not as filthy as you might think. As I said, this courtesan is just singing, absolutely ice and jade. ”
"Don't go!"
"Huh?" Xuanzhi Qi was about to persuade him with his three-inch tongue when Zhiluo walked in.
Zhiluo whispered something in Lu Xun's ear, and after he heard it, his eyes moved slightly, put down the brush, and turned his eyes to look at Xuanzhi Qi. "The green you are talking about. Is the building on Ling Street? ”
Xuanzhi Qi was overjoyed when he heard this. "Yes, yes, you're going to come with me?"
Lu Xun got up. "Hmm!"
Xuanzhi Qi was overjoyed about his "enlightenment", and when he walked side by side, he couldn't help but glance at him several times, and he was still thinking about it. "Yes, yes, brother, you have really grown up and finally opened your mind."
Ling Street.
Yin Lijiao held the candy man in one hand and licked it, and held Shen Yayan in the other, wandering all the way, leisurely and happy.
Shen Yayan always worries about her, and this time is no different. "Why don't we go back! Didn't you say that Grand Master Lu would be looking for you today? It's bad if you miss it. ”
Yin Lijiao herself is very chic. "No, no, don't worry! He knew I was an idle person. He wants to look for me either in the evening or in the morning before I come out. ”
"Oh well! It's just ......" Shen Yayan looked at her and said helplessly: "You should also go back with me to learn calligraphy, right?" Playing like this is also a waste of time. ”
Hearing this, Yin Lijiao began to pretend to be deaf and dumb. "Haha...... Yayan, you see, there are a lot of people over there. Let's take a look. As he spoke, he picked up Shen Yayan and walked over quickly.
Squeezed into the crowd, and they were greeted with a strong smell of powder. Yin Lijiao frowned and raised her little hand to fan the smell, and then looked at the scene of gold and luxury, singing and dancing in front of her. She blinked, it turned out to be a land of wind and moon.
She bumped into Shen Yayan, who was shy next to her. "Yayan, what's written on that plaque?"
Shen Yayan quickly glanced up, and quickly lowered her head with a red face. "Xianning Pavilion." She pulled Yin Lijiao and was about to leave. "Alright, this isn't the place for us to stay."
Yin Lijiao looked at the people crowded at the door to watch, and then looked at the people inside. "That's not right! There are also women who come to play! It's okay, it's okay, it shouldn't be an ordinary green here. Lou, let's go in and have a look, I have money. ”
"If I don't go in, you won't be allowed to go in." Shen Yayan said angrily: "How can the girl's family enter this kind of place, let's go back."
"It's okay!" Yin Lijiao stretched out her index finger against her chin and thought about it, "I don't care about my reputation. But you! Not...... How about buying you a thicker scarf to cover your face? She looked inside. It seems that everyone is here to listen to the song, and I don't know how good the song is. We just went in and listened to the songs, and saw what kind of songs could attract so many people. This is simply the posture of the whole people, regardless of men, women and children. ”
"Song?" The faint singing voice drifted into Shen Yayan's ears, although she couldn't hear it very clearly because of the distance, but it was enough for her to hear the beauty of the singing. She couldn't help but want to go in and listen carefully.
In the end, she was already moved, but she still couldn't resist Yin Lijiao, and really brought a silk scarf on her face and went in with her.
The Xianning Pavilion is also crowded, not as loose as outside the door. They came late, and even if they had money to pay, they could only stand in the corner and watch and listen.
Shen Yayan was fascinated by what she heard, and she couldn't help but sigh. "It's really as clear as a yellow warbler, and it's so good. Although she covered her face, judging from her posture and eyes, she must be a capital for the city. The envy in her eyes deepened.
For this singing, Yin Lijiao felt that it was really not flattering, and only felt that it was ...... It's terrible. Babbling, the voice is good, but the tone of the singing makes her feel ...... It's hard to put into words.
I looked at the intoxicated people around me who didn't even eat melon seeds.
She felt that the taste of the ancients was really something she couldn't learn.
But looking at the courtesan's graceful figure and beautiful upper face, she also thinks that she must be the most good-looking person. However, she is a daughter and has little interest in her.
She is not interested in people, and she doesn't like to listen to songs, so she wants to leave. But turning her head to look at Shen Yayan's intoxicated appearance, she decided to endure it first.
Bored, she couldn't help but yawn, and looked around casually, and this time she saw that unexpected people were coming from the outside to the inside.
This person is Lu Xun, and there is a handsome and good-looking man in Chinese clothes next to him who is led by the old mother's doglegs with him, probably going to a high-end elegant seat. People with special status, no matter how late they come, they are not afraid of not having a good place.
His arrival caused an uproar, and many people forgot to listen to the song. Especially the girl's house inside and out, whether it is from Xianning Pavilion or from outside, they are all pleasantly surprised and discussed. But then they realized that they were coming for the courtesan on stage, and many were disappointed. There are also many people who think that the courtesan is a Fengyue woman after all, and she can't become an obstacle, so she is not affected.
Everyone only knows Lu Xun, but no one knows Xuanzhi Qi next to him, and they are only regarded as his literati friends. After all, he is a prince, and he will not disclose his identity outside.
Yin Lijiao didn't have any disdain in her heart, after all, that courtesan could even attract women, let alone men. Just listening to the song doesn't mean anything.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but every time she looks at him, he can always catch her gaze lightly. This time it was the same, no matter how inconspicuous she was in the crowd, he could crash into her eyes the moment he turned his head.
Receiving his gaze surprised her. Then she smiled back in a friendly way. She felt that no matter what he did to her, as long as it wasn't too much, she should tolerate it for Lu Yi.
Receiving her smile, Lu Xun was stunned at first, and then probably thought of something, and turned back with a cold face.
She tilted her head in confusion, and it was wrong for her to laugh?
There was a girl beside her who was excited. "Second Prince Lu seems to be looking in our direction just now, is he looking at me?"
Someone listened to it with displeasure. "There are so many girls here, how can you be sure it's you?"
"Who's that?"
"Don't put gold on your face, and don't look in the mirror to see what you look like."
They were inconsequential people arguing.
Shen Yayan asked Yin Lijiao in a low voice. "Lu Er Gongzi was looking at you just now, right? But why does he seem to get angry after seeing you smile at him? ”
She shrugged. "I don't know! He was always so inexplicable. Probably he hates me so much, no matter what I do, he hates it! ”
Shen Yayan nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, the singing stopped, and thunderous applause and applause erupted, startling them.
Looking up, the old mother was on stage holding the courtesan holding the pipa and shouting. "Ladies and gentlemen, be quiet."
Someone shouted loudly: "Before, it was said that the girl would choose a person who meets her eyes today to drink and sing, but now? ”
The old mother smiled. "Yes, yes...... Now is the time. Let Ruxi choose it personally, only rely on the edge of the eyes, and I will never interfere with the old mother. ”
Hearing this, no one showed joy. "Then there is nothing to do with us next, with the second son of Lu here, which round will get us."
"That's it!"
However, with the beauty of the girl, only the second son of Lu can match it. We are convinced. ”
With Lu Xun here, even if there are some ruffians or bullies who bully people, they don't dare to say anything, the scene is rare and harmonious, and there is no possible chaos.
The conversation was almost underway, and the old mother let Ruxi lift the veil. As the veil was lifted, there was an uproar. Even though many people have seen her appearance, they are still amazed.
Yin Lijiao also felt amazing, it was really a stunner in the world, bright and amazing.
Ru Xi hugged the pipa and smiled gently at the audience, and saluted. The picturesque beautiful eyes contain a hint of cold arrogance, adding a touch of unearthly fairy aura to her bright and beautiful.
Her eyes slowly moved along everyone in the audience, unfazed.
Everyone held their breath.
In this way, after being silent for a long time, her cold gaze finally fell on Lu Xun's body as expected, and she lifted her lips to evoke a faint sense of satisfaction.
Yin Lijiao couldn't help but sigh secretly, what an arrogant girl, her gaze like picking goods fell on Lu Xun, and she only showed this expression.
Enough to make a living!
Just look at Lu Xun again, it's even more promising. He leaned lazily in his chair, his head hanging slightly, leaving only the door of the other party's own head. That cold and arrogant and invincible appearance, I don't know if I have seen this beauty.
