Chapter 57: Oblivion
The carriage came to a slow stop.
Su Changan got out of the carriage and looked up at the pavilion in front of him, the flying pavilion Liudan, the Danying carved tree, and the huge plaque was written with three gold-inlaid characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.
Bliss Place!
Similar to Deyun Club or Acrobatic Performance Troupe, it is a paradise of art, and it can still make the guests laugh and return satisfied.
"Young Master Su, I'm looking forward to you!"
A woman with heavy makeup greeted her, twisting her waist, waving her handkerchief, and laughing wildly.
Swish!
Su Changan opened the paper fan, fanned it gently, and said gently: "Sister Mei, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still so radiant." ”
"Ah, look at your sweet mouth. ”
Sister Mei hugged Su Changan's arm and said with a smile: "My sister is old and yellow, and she can't compare to before, but there is never a shortage of beauties in Bliss Fang, all of them are both virtuous and artistic." ”
Su Changan slowly took out Liu Qingyan's invitation.
"Ah, I was still thinking just now, who can invite Young Master Su with such a big face, it turns out to be our family's Oiran. Sister Mei blinked, with an expression I understood.
led Su Changan to the Jade Building.
"This is it, there are more than a dozen sons and young ladies who came to the party today. Sister Mei stopped.
Su Changan casually rewarded her with fifty taels of silver.
"Thank you, Young Master Su, thank you......" Sister Mei was so happy that flowers seemed to bloom on her face.
Su Changan stepped into the building, and immediately a maid appeared, leading him all the way through the attic to the pond behind the building.
Sparkling pools of water with colorful koi fish swimming around.
There is a rockery in the center of the pond, and there is a twenty-square-meter open space on the top of the hill to build a gazebo.
At this moment, more than a dozen figures in the pavilion are playing a game of qu shui liuzhen.
"Young Master Su, please wait a moment, let the slave and maid go to pass the word. The maid stepped over a pontoon bridge, walked into the pavilion, and came to the side of a jade-faced boy, muttering in her ear.
The jade-faced boy turned his head to look at this side, and then left the table and came to Su Changan.
This person is 1.7 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure, a fair face, clean and handsome facial features, especially his eyes are extraordinarily spiritual, as if the sky is full of stars dotted in his eyes, which is particularly charming.
"There is no Adam's apple and the pectoralis major is pompous. The corners of Su Changan's mouth curled slightly.
"Liu Qingyan has seen Young Master Su. The jade-faced boy smiled, his voice as soft and crisp as a nightingale.
Sure enough, it's a woman dressed as a man!
Su Changan arched his hand and said: "Liu Huakui is both talented and beautiful, and her fame moves the world, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today." ”
Liu Ruyi grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"Oiran is just a name, it's all up to friends. Presumably Young Master Su also knows that the girls here know a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but how can they compare to all the famous talents who have read poetry and books.
To tell you the truth, my famous poems and essays were basically written for me by others, and those calligraphy and paintings are also the works of master copying. I myself have a few pounds and a few taels, and I know that I can't afford to be talented and beautiful. ”
Su Changan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
This willow light smoke, so real!
The big truth will come as soon as you open your mouth.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qingyan turned out to be such a person, which caught Su Changan off guard.
However, Su Changan's reaction was not slow, and he smiled and said: "Liu Huakui is quick to talk, but she is hypocritical." ”
Liu Ruyi: "Young Master Su can afford my words, so he calls me Sister Liu, I am tired of hearing the word Oiran." ”
Su Chang'an: "I also get tired of the title of Young Master Su, just call me Chang'an." ”
Liu Ruyi bowed: "Brother Chang'an." ”
Su Changan bowed: "Sister Liu." ”
"Please. ”
Liu Ruyi stretched out her hand to make a gesture of please, and Su Changan stepped across the pontoon bridge with her and came to the pavilion.
Most of the guests in the pavilion are distinguished guests, and most of these people Su Changan knows or has had a few encounters.
Tian Hu, the eldest young master of the Tian family, Tian Yue, the third young master, Liu Chongxiao, the eldest young master of the Liu family, Wang Yuying, the eldest lady of the Wang family, He Jingming, the third generation of the He family, Bai Hetang, the descendant of the divine doctor, and so on.
There are also two people with average backgrounds, but they are famous, similar to the young version of Lin Qitian.
Although Tian Hu and others are expensive, the gold is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and when Su Changan came, they were not so expensive.
"Oh, Young Master Su, it's rude. Tian Hu and the others all stood up to greet them.
Su Changan bowed his head.
"Young Master Su, please take a seat. ”
"Brother Chang'an, go to the slave family and sit down. ”
"There's a seat on my side. ”
Everyone was very welcoming.
Su Chang'an's enthusiasm was difficult.
Liu Qingyan said with a smile: "Don't fight, Xiaoyue, add a chair next to me, I want to have a drink with Brother Chang'an, and I won't go home if I don't get drunk." ”
The maid Satsuki immediately moved a chair over.
Su Changan sat down, Liu Qingyan sat down with her legs open, quite a bold sitting posture, in this world, women will be cut by a thousand knives with this sitting posture.
"Brother Chang'an, I salute you with a bowl. Liu Qingyan raised a bowl of wine and came over to clink glasses.
Only then did Su Changan notice that they drank not with a wine cup, but with a large bowl.
"!"
Su Changan was unceremonious.
Others toasted one after another, Su Changan came without refusing, and also returned the salute in turn, and after two rounds of drinking, everyone chatted.
Su Changan said directly: "Everyone, there have been many tragic disasters in Yunyang City, do you know what happened?"
Wang Yuying: "I heard that there was a plague outbreak in the city. ”
He Jingming shook his head and smiled: "That's the rhetoric of the yamen, the truth is not like this." I got the inside information that the tragedy in Yunyang City is all evil!"
Liu Qingyan slapped the table, looking extremely excited: "Brother He, tell me quickly." ”
He Jingming was even more proud: "You should often hear rumors about evil and strange, let me tell you, it's not all rumors, evil is true......"
Wang Yuying interrupted: "If the evil is true, then why does everyone know so little? There are so many tragic disasters in Yunyang City, and so many people have died, even if someone wants to hide it, they can't hide it, right?"
The crowd nodded.
Su Changan's heart moved, he had never thought about this problem from this angle.
He Jingming said with a smile: "The general evil calamity, if the yamen wants to hide it, it can indeed be hidden, but it is just a simple seal." And those great evils are impossible to hide. But why don't people know about evil?"
This guy is selling off, it's really cheap.
Wang Yuying shouted coquettishly: "You say, say it quickly." ”
He Jingming took a sip of wine unhurriedly and said proudly: "The reason is very simple, but wherever evil disasters have occurred, there is often a phenomenon of 'collective amnesia'. To put it simply, everyone doesn't remember. ”
Tian Hu was surprised: "Collective amnesia, how is this possible?"
Su Changan was thoughtful.
Su Changping has amnesia, and Huahua also has amnesia......
He Jingming patted his chest and shouted: "Brother Tian, don't believe it, dare you bet with me, after a while, the people in Yunyang City will not be able to remember the various experiences of this evil disaster." ”
Wang Yuying exclaimed: "Then do we have to forget too?"
He Jingming waved his hand and said: "At the time of the incident, we were not in the city, and the evil forces did not affect us, and we will still remember." Of course, we just remember it, because we haven't seen it with our own eyes. But those who are in the city will gradually forget. ”
Wang Yuying: "Those people who have lost their relatives will also forget?"
He Jingming nodded: "They will forget, they will gradually lose their ability to remember what happened." After losing their memory, they naturally had no choice but to believe the yamen's rhetoric, believing that their relatives had died of the plague or something. ”
