Chapter 7 Lantern Festival
The largest and most luxurious gold cave in the imperial capital - Yingmo Pavilion. The name is elegant, but it is just a ** place where nephrite is fragrant, and the gentle fragrance of Qinlou Chu Pavilion. However, in and out are all princes and nobles, in addition to the singers and dancers who sell their bodies and sing, many literati and sauchers dance and ink competitions are also located here.
These, in addition to the elegant and wealthy Yingmo Pavilion that is different from the ordinary Qinglou places, is also because this Qinglou is afraid that Xue Zhu, the first emperor of Ruihua, has vigorously supported it for the sake of the golden house.
Originally, this Qinglou was just an unremarkable meat selling place in the imperial capital, but it became equally unparalleled because there was a beauty who was not only famous in Ruihua on the list of the three kingdoms-Mozhu. Mozhu is a woman who was sold to the Qinglou when she was a child, and her appearance is all excellent, and she plays a good piano. Every day, countless celebrities come from all over the world just to listen to her music. Of course, almost all of them returned in vain, and the Mozhu girl only played one song a day, and she was the one who caught her eyes. I am fortunate to be able to listen to the song of the Mozhu girl, and I will never forget it all day long, and even the sound of the piano is always around my ears, and I don't know the taste of meat in March!
How beautiful is the ink bamboo girl? It is rumored that the eyebrows are picturesque, and only one glance can hook away people's hearts and souls, and the thin waist is like a willow, slender and flexible, and can be held in one palm. What about the chest and mouth? None of them have been heard. I understand, it's just a rumor, I'm afraid that no one has seen the true face of this ink bamboo girl. But he also heard that Qin Chuhan, the eldest son of the Qin family in the imperial capital, only saw the Mozhu girl, and then he didn't think about it, and he didn't want to suppress his thoughts now, and he was sick in bed.
What's more, now, Miss Mozhu doesn't even play a song every day. There was no man who was not indignant, but he did not dare to say anything.
"My son is willing to listen to Miss Mozhu's song." It was originally a place for all sons to sing songs and attract their families, but suddenly a lazy and flamboyant voice came. Mo Zhu saw a young man in a moon-white brocade robe sitting directly with his entourage, leaning lazily on the back of the chair and saying to her.
Mo Zhu clearly saw the smile in the man's eyes, he was insulting her! "Gongzi Xie, if Gongzi wants to listen to Mozhu's music, please compose a poem."
The man sat lazily, his eyes slightly raised, listening to the words with one hand on his chin, looking at him speechless for a long time. Mo Zhu vaguely knew who this man was, but this time she was stubborn, she didn't want to bow to him! Although she has to play music every day, she has no reason to be teased, let alone directly humiliating her with money.
"Clouds want clothes, flowers want to be beautiful, and the spring breeze is blowing Revlon." Still in a lazy tone, chanting verses that made her tremble. In her astonishment, the man stepped forward to lift the curtain that she had covered, and looked down at her with an appreciative smile.
"Isn't it good to play music for me alone? It also saves to deal with so many wild bees and butterflies that smell the fragrance. "How can a person's laughter have so many meanings, how can it be so seductive.
But she still had to refuse...... It sounds tempting, but who knows how he is? What's more, Mozhu's eyes are dark, and his mother won't agree. Through her Oiran name, she can earn endless money...... No matter how beautiful she is, she is duckweed, and she can only fight for a little dignity for herself as much as possible with a little arrogance.
Xue Zhu looked at her with interest and said softly: "Such a beautiful little peacock should be kept in the golden house, how can you let this rouge vulgar powder be dirty." ”
"This Yingxiang Pavilion is too vulgar, so it will be called Yingmo Pavilion in the future." After saying it so loudly, Xue Zhu winked at Mo Zhu, and as soon as he clapped his hands, he saw two tall guards squeezing into this room with a golden sign, followed by a ** with happy eyes.
"Oh, sir, how embarrassing is this." **I couldn't put it down and touched the three words "Yingmo Pavilion" on the golden plaque, hey, the plaque personally given by Xue Candle Xue Dagongzi is still gold that can only be used by the royal family, how glamorous this is. Look at how arrogant the little hooves on the other side are!
"For the sake of Mozhu, what can't I stand it. Whatever this son gives, you can all bear. ”
Mo Zhu clearly saw that the lazy eyes that didn't seem to be able to lift anything flashed a little squint:
"My son has words, songs, and money. The ink bamboo girl is worth a thousand gold, and my son has a thousand taels of gold just to exchange for the ink bamboo and smile. If anyone boasts that their talent and financial resources are higher than their own son, they can find it. ”
Those who know know that Xue Zhu is not only the only son of the Xue family of the four major families of Ruihua, but also the current head of the Xue family, and his annual taxes alone are worth two years of Ruihua's harvest. This master is obviously in love with Mozhu, people are willing to spend money and are willing to buy a smile, who will make up this mold? It's normal to think about it, it's only a matter of time before this lord who is attached to the Qinglou falls in love with the Mozhu girl, but I don't know if the Mozhu girl can keep the heart of the eldest prince Xue.
Mo Zhu was a little moved in his heart, who was not happy to see someone willing to give a thousand taels of gold just for his own smile. But she is still a little dissatisfied, if it is in terms of money, what is the difference between her and those women who sell jokes?
As if seeing through her awkwardness, Xue Zhu touched her head, "Silly girl, with my money shocking, who would dare to touch you." That ** still doesn't offer you up, who dares to let you show up against your will? ”
Mo Zhu raised his eyes and looked at Xue Zhu incredulously. Is he doing this for his own sake? He knew his suffering, and he knew that it was not his wish to dedicate such a song! He actually understands her!
Then four more guards came in carrying a large box, carefully placing it on the ground. Xue Zhu did not come out of the cloud curtain, sat on the case of playing the piano, supported the piano with one hand, and ordered: "This is a thank you gift to Yingmo Pavilion." ”
The guards opened the box in response, and the box full of gold ingots and golden light made the room seem closed. Mo Zhu has never seen so many gold ingots, and they are so dazzling that they make people's eyes hurt.
In the midst of the exclamations of the room, Mozhu saw the man looking at her with a smile and said, "Are you satisfied?" Other thank-you gifts will be presented later, now, can Miss Mozhu give a song to the piano? ”
What is it called throwing a lot of money! Xue Candle's romantic history has added a stroke, and this "Yingmo Pavilion" is even more elegant and renovated overnight, and even ordinary women can play the piano with the highest quality. Not to mention the degree of food and clothing of the Mozhu girl, the people at the bottom guessed that it was all according to the degree of the imperial concubine!
After bathing, Qin Muyu walked to the window and wanted to close the window, although the weather was humid and hot, he was still afraid that the wind would blow Brother Yan at night.
"Huh? The night in Danzhou is really lively. "It was already dark as ink, but the lights were on outside the window, and I could see the shouts of the busy street vendors still in my ears, and there were also lanterns rising in the sky, so it was not lively.
The wind really rose at night, and Qin Muyu's long wet hair, which could not be blown by the wind, was like black satin in the moonlight, with a silky luster. Qin Chuyan tried to get up, took a clean cloth beside the bed, took two steps unsteadily, and then walked smoothly behind Qin Muyu.
"I don't know." Answering Qin Muyu's question, he wiped his long wet hair.
Qin Muyu was taken aback, "Brother Yan, why are you up?" Your injuries are not healed, and you should recuperate. She turned her head, and her long hair shuttled through Qin Chuyan's fingertips, Qin Chuyan gently held it, and replied:
"It's okay."
"How can it be okay, you just woke up. Go back and rest, and then come down and jump when you're well. Qin Muyu didn't want to push it directly, but he still looked at him worriedly and annoyed.
"I didn't jump."
"Brother Yan, I didn't joke with you, go back, go back." was choked by Qin Chuyan's words, when did Brother Yan love to laugh so much?
Qin Chuyan didn't move, nor did he speak again, but continued to help her dry her hair gently and forcefully.
"Brother Yan......" His hair was slightly itchy and comfortably tight, feeling Brother Yan's insistence, Qin Muyu also stood still, feeling the cool breeze in front of him and the scorching manly breath behind him, and the lights in his eyes were exquisite. Suddenly there was a burst of relaxation, and his body was leaning on the man behind him.
"Are you really alright?" I knew that it was too much to mention this, but Qin Muyu suddenly had an impulse! An impulse that seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time!
"Go shopping with Yu'er, no problem." Feeling that the villain was still entangled, he continued to explain: "The medicine is very good, and I have been lying down for a long time, and it is uncomfortable. ”
As soon as Brother Yan speaks normally, long sentences will automatically break into paragraphs. She still understood what he meant, how could she not indulge herself? But this lively scene, she wanted to experience it with Brother Yan. This slight confusion after rebirth may only be dissipated in the bustling city.
Thankfully, someone is indulging themselves.
"Then go out, Brother Yan be careful." After Qin Chuyan wiped his hair half-dry, Qin Muyu took a bunch of his hand, put on his clothes, and pulled Qin Chuyan to the bedside.
"New clothes were also sent, Brother Yan first put them on to see if they fit or not, I forgot about them." It's still the same black dress, with dark green patterns on the cuffs, and you can't see it if you don't look closely.
Seeing Qin Muyu staring at her without blinking, Qin Chuyan smiled in his eyes and lowered his head to untie his trouser belt.
"Huh...... Brother Yan. Qin Muyu blushed, turned around, "Brother Yan is dressed and call me." "A puff of smoke ran away.
Moving her limbs that were still sore, Qin Chuyan watched her run away before putting on her clothes with difficulty. As long as he can wake up and see the rain again, these pains that he has long been accustomed to will not hinder him at all.
went out, a handsome young man, a heroic and really young man.
Qin Muyu was afraid that Brother Yan's body was still uncomfortable, so he approached to help him, who knew that Brother Yan directly reached out and held his little hand, and his body was still slightly leaning on her, but Qin Muyu didn't feel any weight.
"That's ...... It's weird. The hand was hidden in the wide sleeves, and he couldn't break free, and Qin Muyu also felt weird. With two men so close to each other, isn't it what people call "sleeve breaking"?
"I'm hurt." Qin Chuyan choked Qin Muyu's words back with just one word, and Shi Shiran pulled Qin Muyu forward.
Outside the door of the Longyun Inn is an official road, which is very spacious and can accommodate four carriages in parallel. Now there are all the vendors selling things and shouting, there are clay figures, dough sculptures, snacks and sugar gourds, paper kites, and more people selling jewelry and lanterns.
Qin Muyu looked around curiously, she had never gone shopping before. Even in his previous life, he was hiding everywhere and was busy with revenge, how could he have such a peaceful mood.
Qin Muyu began to be pulled by Qin Chuyan to walk slowly, and then began to pull Qin Chuyan to stride away, completely forgetting that her brother Yan was still injured. Qin Chuyan also indulged her.
The more I walked, the more strange it became, and my eyes were full of people, but passers-by looked at her and Brother Yan with strange or ambiguous eyes, and Qin Muyu, who was very sensitive, felt a little unusual.
She looked down at her clothes, white gowns, the best ingredients glowed in the moonlight, no problem. Look at Brother Yan again, he is tall and straight in black clothes, and he has a manly atmosphere that cannot be ignored, no problem. So what's going on?
"What's wrong?" Carefully protecting Yu'er from the passing crowds, Qin Chuyan could also feel the gaze of the surroundings, but he only cared about Yu'er's puzzled appearance when she suddenly lowered her head.
"Brother Yan, do you think that the eyes of the people around us look at us strangely?"
"Hmm." Qin Chuyan gently touched Qin Muyu's little hand soothingly, and then directly looked at the crowd around him who were still looking at them with cold eyes, and the evil aura all over his body and his robes were windless. The people who were still secretly looking around were frightened, and silently left a circle of empty seats around them.
"Alright." Without looking at it anymore, Qin Chuyan pulled Qin Muyu forward, and his anger did not stop, "Sugar man? ”
It seems that the two extra eyes left on the candy man vendor just now have been discovered by Brother Yan, and I don't know how to sweeten my heart, Qin Muyu couldn't help nodding, and his big eyes were bent into a crescent moon. Those who have nothing to do with it have long been left behind by her. In her previous life, she was scrutinized less? But this time, the many eyes were mixed with contempt, which made her strange.
"These two little brothers have also been to the Lantern Festival? Do you want to buy a candy man for the girl? The old man who pinched the clay man looked at the two handsome young men with a smile and asked.
"yes. However, what is the Lantern Festival? Noticing the strange gaze of the old man, Qin Muyu then explained, "My brother and I are outsiders, so we don't know much about this custom. ”
"In this way, the two sons are really blessed. This lantern festival is a local custom, it is rumored that on this day, the holy Maiden Qizhuo came here to marry her lover, and left a lantern to watch the lanterns here, and there are long-lasting blessings from lovers. Since then, Danzhou is lively on this day every year, the lights are day and night, and I don't know how many lovers will eventually become married. ”
Qi Zhuo is the holy daughter of the former Great Qi Dynasty, and it is said that she was born by the mandate of heaven to help the king dominate the world, and then retired with her husband and children to live in seclusion in the West Fence and sail on the river.
"Didn't the two beloved girls come with you?" Today's people speak with extraordinary simplicity and sincerity, and of course boldness.
Qin Muyu took the pinched sugar man of her and Brother Yan's vividness, and pinched Qin Chuyan fiercely to prevent him from "speaking amazingly".
"The insider has been unwell for the past two days and can't watch the lights in person, so I have to buy some gadgets to comfort and comfort." casually recited a reason, Qin Muyu pulled Qin Chuyan away in the old man's pity to talk.
Qin Chuyan was also tossed by her, and when the two stopped, Qin Chuyan took the candy man she looked like in her hand. Looking at the sugar man's shiny big eyes and slightly pursed mouth, he cherished a kiss.
When the two were awkward, a young man not far away complained to his brother because he couldn't bear it anymore: "Has Ruihua's national style come to this?" Broken sleeves holding hands and intimately visiting the Lantern Festival?! ”
His brother also thought it was incredible, but much calmer than the teenager. "Bin'er, let's go back." When he is with his sister who is dressed as a man, he gives others the same feeling, alas.
The girl dressed as a man ignored his words completely, but muttered, "It would be nice if Brother Li was here." ”
