At the gate of Sweet Water Lane, the forbidden army, the god capture camp, and the god machine camp set up a joint checkpoint, and the envoys and civil and military officials of various countries need to enter in turn with invitations, and when it was Lin Xiao's turn, they happened to see the third sister Lin Yuxie.

The third sister and Lin Xiao looked at each other, frowned, walked over, took the invitation to register, pretended to check for him, and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

Lin Xiao smiled evilly: "I'm the emperor's brother, why can't I come?"

The third sister glanced at her: "I didn't tell you, everything in the court is based on my father, don't follow me." ”

"Daddy agreed to me coming. ”

“...... Okay. The third sister pouted, "But on today's important occasion, don't cause trouble." ”

"Don't worry, sister, you still don't know me, such an honest person. ”

"Hmph~" The third sister smiled contemptuously, and hit Lin Xiao's shoulder with a small fist, "Let's go in." ”

"Xiao Sheng thanked Lin Dashen for catching. Lin Xiao responded, and had already followed the civil and military officials in front of him into Sweet Water Lane.

In the early years, this Sweet Water Lane was originally called Tianshui Lane, a street of singing and dancing, different from other green buildings and red light districts in the city, most of the girls in this Sweet Water Lane are kabuki and dancers, and there are also some opera singers.

Although the song and dance artists in the alley are not from big families, most of them are also ordinary people's good family ladies, and they make some money with their singing and dancing talents.

Because of this, the flower buildings in Sweet Water Lane never sell any high-degree wine that is easy to drink, all of them are some exquisitely brewed low-alcohol water wine, rice wine, fruit wine, and high-degree wine, low-alcohol wine tastes as sweet as water and easy to eat, so this singing and dancing Tianshui Lane has gradually changed its name to Sweet Water Lane.

Among the various kinds of liquor in the sweet water lane, the most famous is the sweet wine that is only available on the day of the closure of the alley every year, the sweet wine is made of good quality grains and osmanthus as raw materials, and it takes several months to cellar after brewing, and the autumn is made in winter.

Therefore, every year when the dinner party in Sweet Water Alley comes to an end, when it is the turn of the finale of the Oiran to perform, the sweet wine that has been prepared in the alley will also be served to the table, and the wine will be paired with the beauty.

With the development of hundreds of years, this sweet water lane is not called an alley, but it is a small palace surrounded by all directions, in terms of glory and wealth, small as eating utensils, as large as the decoration in the lane, I am afraid that even the palace and Gao Street are not as rich as the alley, the master who can enter the sweet water lane, the most lacking, that is, money.

More than 20 singing and dancing flower buildings stand in rows, enclose into a square like a large football field, the water of the South River flows through below each building, there is quite a feeling of a water pavilion, the huge long red lacquered wooden board is spread between the buildings, forming a wide balcony flat land, so that the rich and powerful people who patronize in the past can both go up and down, and can also look around left and right with the flat ground of the balcony of the continuous piece.

There is a huge lake in the building in the center of the sweet water lane, also known as the heart lake, there is a water pavilion in the lake, the alley is closed today, all the oiran, dance and song kui of each building will also appear on the stage one by one in this water pavilion, it is the Spring Festival Gala of the southern country.

As soon as Lin Xiao walked into this sweet water lane, he was attracted by the magnificent and brilliant scenery in the alley, and the lights were everywhere. These are not rare items that are seasonal in the southern country, they are all trafficked from Yunchuan, which is like spring all year round, and they are expensive.

What's more beautiful than this sea of flowers is that not to mention the Oiran who has not yet appeared on each floor, even the maids in the alleys who are dressed up and have oily pastel faces, all of them are delicate, beautiful, and beautiful. If it weren't for the fact that there were already two little sisters, Lin Xiao would really be cheeky at this time, and find a few young ladies with eyes to ask for contact information, hehe.

In addition to the water pavilion platform for performance in the center of the alley, there is a distance between the far middle and nearly three layers of circular viewing platform, the farthest away from the water pavilion, the far platform with the worst viewing effect, naturally it is the rich family in the city, today the emperor and the queen mother are coming, and the ticket price of the ordinary people's admission invitation has already taken off.

The viewing effect of the middle stage is decent, and the sitting are the civil and military officials at the end of the Southern Dynasty, and the secondary envoys of some foreign marquises, among them, you can see the stunned young man - Ye Fu.

As for the closest to the water pavilion platform, the best viewing effect of the near viewing platform, there are also a circle of fifty or sixty positions, different from the far platform audience seat lonely seats, and the middle stage long table is only enough to put a cup of tea ordinary seats, this near viewing platform is set up with two seats, the seat has already been placed on all kinds of dim sum tea and wine.

In the center of the seats near the viewing platform in this circle, there are two additional tables on the high platform, which naturally belong to the emperor Zhao Meng and the empress dowager Zhongda, on both sides, respectively, they are the auxiliary minister Zhongyan, the general Zhong Ze, the king of Jianzhou, Zhao Rui, the king of Zhuzhou, and then push to the side, only to arrange the envoys of various countries and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the southern country.

As for Lin Xiao, there are two invitations in his hand, one is the near pedestal that belongs to his father Lin Dong, and the other is the middle pedestal given by the emperor's brother Zhao Meng.

But at this moment, standing in place, searching around, he had just found his figure among a group of civil and military officials in Central Taiwan, but he was suddenly slapped from behind.

"Brother Xiao. ”

Lin Xiao looked back: "Brother Yelu!"

Yelujin and Lin Xiao looked at each other and laughed: "Haha~ I'm still worried that no one will teach me to appreciate the songs and dances of your southern country." As he spoke, Yelujin pointed at Lin Xiao, but turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who was walking with him, "No, with Brother Xiao with me today, I can learn better." ”

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, his eyes looked at Lin Xiao, and although he was smiling, his eyebrows were furrowed.

"Where is it~" Lin Xiao was modest, but she scolded her mother a little in her heart, she was going back to Yunanzong tomorrow, and she finally had a chance to enjoy the dance with Ye Fu's little brother tonight.

"Tell me about it. As he spoke, Yelujin looked at Lin Xiao, and asked the middle-aged man next to him with his right hand, "Gu Fulian, my personal guard, has been with me for many years." ”

Lin Xiao squeezed out a little smile, and exchanged views with the Fu Lian, but he looked at this Fu Lian in a Beiqi suit, and his body was quite stout, but compared to the younger Yelujin, he was still thinner, with a big bald head, except for two messy ring braids tied above the corners of his eyebrows, short beard up and down his lips, and a long beard on his chin.

"Let's go, Brother Xiao, with you as my company today, our brothers are not drunk. As he spoke, the tall Yelujin put his arm around Lin Xiao's shoulders and walked towards the two-person table belonging to the Beiqi Mission near Taiwan.

Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed, Yelujin had talked about this, and it was not easy to shirk at the moment, he just smiled on his face, and he was embarrassed to deal with it, listening to this Yelujin playing haha along the way, he was very reluctant to take a seat.

(Hey~ will just take a moment~ Although I can't be at the same table with Ye Fu in the middle stage, sitting near the stage can indeed see the young ladies of the Oiran more clearly, if I sit alone in my father's seat, I will also be alone, and there is a good relationship with Yelujin at this time, which can barely get by. ）

Lin Xiao thought like this, and when she was about to pick up a grape and stuff it into her mouth after sitting down, she heard a "Wait." ”

As he spoke, Yelujin grabbed Lin Xiao's hand tightly and gestured to the guard Fu Lianyi. I already saw Gu Fulian take out a silver needle from the cuff of his right hand, and after piercing the fruits, snacks, tea and wine on the plate one by one, he carefully put it in front of him and looked at it, and after a few seconds, he nodded with Yelujin.

"Haha. Yelujin laughed with Lin Xiao, drank the fruit wine in front of him, finished it in one gulp, and laughed with Lin Xiao again, "It's not that I'm worried that your southern country is not well guarded, but, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, do you say it, Brother Xiao." ”

Lin Xiao nodded and smiled, just wanted to take another grape to eat, but he saw that it was pierced, and the same was true of those large plates of pastries and fruits.

Just as Yelujin and Lin Xiao were talking about the eggs, Gu Fulian behind him was still frowning, looking at each other from a distance of a few tables, and looking at Zhong Lixiong not far away, nodding slightly concealedly.
