Chapter 22: The Four Beauties
The city wall is built in the capital city to guard, and it is divided into four city gates, east, west, north and south, and enter and exit.
And a hundred years ago to build a building to look out, this building is the Yellow Crane Tower in the middle of the capital.
In the Xuanyuan Dynasty, because there was no war and a peaceful residence, the Yellow Crane Tower became a symbol of the status of high-ranking officials and nobles.
However, the Yellow Crane Tower has become a private treasure, and every time the event is held, it must be entered and exited by stickers, which further highlights the extraordinary status of the Yellow Crane Tower.
Now, the envoys from various countries have come and arranged to rest in the post station.
And the Spring Manlou of Flower Willow Lane is also the best place for messengers to drink and have fun.
To this day, the invitations of the envoys of various countries turned out to be from the emperor himself.
It can be seen that the status, identity, power, and financial resources of the owner of the Yellow Crane Tower are even more than one person and above ten thousand.
Therefore, the rumors in the market are even more divine, as if the emperor is also afraid of three points.
The people in the Li Mansion are naturally dressed and waiting to go out.
Li Rao brought Wang Ruzhen, Li Changqing and Li Changxin, and the four of them all had their own hearts.
Li Changqing brought Mama Wei by his side, but he didn't see Qinglian follow this time, and everyone went to the Yellow Crane Tower speechlessly.
Today's Li Changxin is dressed up in a fresh show, I saw her combing the moon bun, and a peony bamboo pattern hosta loosely inserted on the top of her head, at this time, wearing a pink morning glow brocade silk robe, small mouth, pointed chin, flawless fair cheeks, and light makeup, it turned out to be more attractive than the heavy makeup on weekdays.
It's just that sitting opposite Li Changqing, Li Changxin turned out to be a little angry. I saw that my body kept moving up and down a few times, and my hand occasionally touched my armpits, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, Li Changqing on the opposite side, with a light face and a light breeze, was dressed in a moon-white carved gold butterfly wearing a flower cloud dress, the flying butterfly on the spruce was lifelike, and it seemed to leap out through the place where the gold was cut, and the curly eyebrows occasionally flickered a few times, revealing the bright eyes below that were as bright as stars and black as obsidian, which was like a deep whirlpool, attracting people to linger, and they couldn't help but want to reach out and cover it, leaving only one person to enjoy alone.
Li Changxin was even more annoyed.
"No matter how beautiful my sister is dressed today, it's just the moon in the mirror, the flower in the water, and I am the leader today."
"Oh." Li Changqing, who was taking a nap, opened his eyes leisurely, looked at the beautiful cheek opposite, swept to the position of his hand, and showed a smile on his face.
"Hmph, my sister's cloud dress should have been given by my aunt, where did my sister get the money?" Li Changxin saw that Li Changqing ignored her, and continued to ask stubbornly.
"Sister, let's think about how to win today, but I've heard that there is a lot of talk in Shangjing." As he spoke, he glanced at Li Changxin's hand again, and closed his delicate lips slightly.
Li Changqing really didn't have much money, and the money he gave to Wednesday that time was secretly stuffed into the clothes she brought to her when her aunt Lin left last time.
On weekdays, every girl's mother-in-law, even including their young ladies and sons, has clear regulations, and Li Changqing has always been detained by Wang Ruzhenke, and he doesn't have much money at all.
And this time, the eldest aunt actually stuffed a full 5,000 taels of silver tickets.
The gold given to Wednesday last time can be exchanged for huàn with some silver tickets, especially the visual impact of gold, which is far more convincing than silver tickets.
As for the rest of the silver, Li Changqing has a lot of use today.
Now, the dress on his body was also sent by his aunt last night.
Originally, Wang Ruzhen ordered someone to make a dress, but it doesn't matter if the material of the clothes is not good, the main thing is which big red, it's just terrible, Li Changqing just glanced at it, and ordered someone to put it at the bottom of the cabinet, ready to find a new look at the clothes, anyway, today, she can't compare to the four beauties, and she is not ready to go on stage, as for getting what she deserves, she naturally has a way.
What she wants is just Li Changxin's ugliness.
However, since my aunt sent it so considerately, she was very satisfied with the color and material pattern, so she wore it on her body this morning.
As for meeting Wang Ruzhen's mother and daughter in the morning, when she saw her for a moment, the jealousy seemed to tear her clothes, and she was even more satisfied.
For example, now, Li Changxin's staring eyes, she really doesn't bother to pay attention to it.
"You know something, I was framed, I'm not afraid now, I'll win." Li Changxin raised his pointed chin and said disdainfully.
Hehe...... are you being framed? Why don't I feel like that?
Li Changqing secretly sneered in his heart, ignored her anymore, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate, this is still a quarter of an hour away from the Yellow Crane Tower.
Because all the officials and nobles in Beijing have been dispatched today, even the officials and people who can't get in have already set up the best restaurant boxes around the Yellow Crane Tower to watch it, and the main street outside is all surrounded by the people of Limin.
Of course, the hottest is the gambling house.
"The world's first gamble" is a big gamble today.
The gambling is naturally the four beauties Li Changxin, Lin Zihan, Wang Sisi, and Guo Mulei.
One of the top of the list, Li Changxin, the daughter of Prime Minister Li Cheng, the first beauty in the capital, although the previous rumors offended the supporters of Princess Chaoyang, but it is natural for her to be shortlisted with her beauty, of course, in the eyes of a group of gamblers, no matter who you are, as long as you see you, even if you offend the king of heaven Lao Tzu, as long as you can win the championship today, it is an eternal beauty in the hearts of the masters.
The second at the top of the list, the quasi-crown princess Lin Zihan, Lin Shangshu's daughter, is well-known and reasonable, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a good reputation among high-ranking officials and nobles, Mrs. Miss has nothing to say, compared to Li Changxin, the name of the quasi-princess has also won her a certain victory.
The third on the list, Wang Sisi, the granddaughter of Wang Taifu. Wang Taifu was once the Taifu of today's Shengshang Xuanyuan Jing, speaking of age and Li Changqing's maternal grandfather is about the same, and is also one of the elders of the Three Dynasties.
Speaking of Wang Sisilai, this has a little to do with Wang Ruzhen, Wang Sisi's mother Wang Yu and Wang Ruzhen are half-sisters, but Wang Jue is a concubine, and Wang Ruzhen is a concubine.
Wang Ruzhen's mother is the first-class girl next to Wang Jue's mother, because of her beauty, she finally became a girl in the room, and later gave birth to Wang Ruzhen, a concubine, and finally married Li Chengxiang and became an aunt, and Wang Jue became the daughter-in-law of Taifu.
The two gave birth to Li Changxin and Wang Sisi respectively.
This relationship is also a little farther, but Wang Sisidao has a good relationship with Li Changxin on weekdays, if she is on the list, I am afraid it will have nothing to do with her family background.
This Wang Sisi can also endure the temperament, on weekdays without leaving home, embroidery at home all day long, this embroidery is a must in the capital, where everyone is noble, get one of its embroidery, that is like a treasure. The possibility is tepid, the temperament is good, the face is good, and the deep rumors are praised, and they also got a name on the list.
The fourth at the top of the list, Guo Mulei, the daughter of General Guo. Speaking of Guo Mulei, but she followed her father, she danced with knives and guns on weekdays, and her temperament was very heroic, but this appearance was comparable to Li Changxin, and the most wrong thing about her was Li Changxin, I always felt that this woman was fake and unaccustomed to it, as long as she met, she had to say a few words. Li Changxin, who was always angry, wanted to go to the wall and scold people.
This woman is very much in line with Li Changqing's appetite.
In the gambling house, the bet is on these four beautiful women who are as beautiful as flowers and loved by everyone.
The bets placed are divided into five ......
