As soon as the National Color Pavilion enters the main entrance, there is a large patio, and the first floor is a circle of corridors, and there are tables placed under the pillars under the corridor, which is a place for pilgrims to drink tea and choose girls. Above the patio the second to fourth floors is a circle of small rooms, each of which is not large, and there is a sign hanging at the door, which is the most ordinary prostitution. After the patio, the second courtyard is where the popular girl lives, and the grade is much higher than here, and then the third and fourth courtyards are the places where the leading girls in the entire southern capital live.

Yang Muyun followed Xia Hongyu through a moon gate and came to a courtyard full of flowers, there was a song of living water in the courtyard, and there was a wooden bridge built on the living water, and there was a quaint pavilion next to the wooden bridge.

"Is the girl okay with you?" When Xia Hongyu asked this sentence, she was charming, as if she had changed someone.

"She's so nice, she's happy when we're together." Yang Muyun didn't know how to phrase it appropriately for a while.

"If you dare to treat her badly, our entire National Color Pavilion will not be able to spare you." Xia Hongyu said this with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was a fierce look in her eyes.

Yang Muyun shuddered, and a chill appeared on his spine.

Xia Hongyu took him through a corner gate, and thousands of green bamboos appeared in front of him, and under the shade of green bamboos, a stone road like a sheep's intestine led to the depths of the bamboo forest.

Walking in the quiet bamboo forest, looking at the slim bamboo, the branches and leaves are green, so dignified and dignified, so quiet and gentle, as if tasting a cup of refreshing green tea, Yang Muyun feels refreshed and relaxed.

"Well, it's here." Xia Hongyu pointed to a delicate and elegant house in front of her with a fan in her hand.

Yang Muyun raised his eyes and saw a plaque hanging on the house, with three big characters on it. "Isn't this the incense room of a popular girl?" After a moment of hesitation, he hesitated.

Xia Hongyu understood what he meant, raised her eyebrows, and said: "There was originally a girl named Scarlet Smoke living here, half a month ago, Scarlet Yan married a son surnamed Shi and moved out, and now Song Gongzi lives here temporarily, so the son doesn't have to worry about it." ”

"Thank you, Sister Hong." Yang Muyun was a little embarrassed. Xia Hongyu smiled, covered her face with a fan, and turned around and walked away.

Yang Muyun stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door creaked open, revealing a round face.

"Brother Yang Xian—"

"Brother Song—"

The faces of the two people who had not seen each other for a long time showed excited looks, and Song Ping grabbed Yang Muyun's sleeve and pulled him into the room.

"Brother Song, can you let go of your hand?" Yang Muyun was very unaccustomed to him pulling and pulling like this.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the foolish brother can't help but feel a little uneasy when he sees the virtuous brother." Song Ping let go of his hand. "Brother Xian, please be seated." He turned around and poured a cup of tea, turned around and offered it with both hands.

"Brother Song, you've changed a lot." Yang Muyun took the teacup in surprise.

"Is it for the better or for the worse?"

"It's become unrecognizable." Yang Muyun sighed. He is no longer the bohemian son he used to be.

"I didn't expect you to come to see me," Song Ping's round fat face squeezed out a smile, "I thought there wouldn't be anyone to congratulate me?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Jiang Wenying and Zhang Tianhe both said that I was stupid, and I broke off with my family for a woman in a Qinglou, and they no longer despised being with me." Song Ping let out a long sigh.

"Do you regret it?"

"Hmm-" Song Ping's eyes showed a hint of perseverance: "But if I lose Butterfly Rain, I will regret it even more." ”

"Brother Song, you are the son of the Marquis of Xining, even if you can't inherit the title of Marquis of Xining in the future, you will get other gifts from the emperor, and your future is limitless."

"I know."

"Have you ever thought that if you lose Dieyu, you will meet other young and beautiful women again, but without the blessing of your family, I am afraid that there will never be such an opportunity to be a marquis."

Song Ping was silent, and only after a long time did he say word for word: "Do you also think I'm stupid?" ”

"No, I just hope that Brother Song will think about it, after all, marriage and future are more important, Brother Song should weigh it carefully, not just on impulse. With the beauty and talent of Dieyu girl, she doesn't have to worry about not having a good home, and Brother Song ......"

"Brother Yang Xian, the foolish brother is a big fool, if you look down on me, let's say goodbye." After Song Ping finished speaking, he turned around and left Yang Muyun with a back.

"No, Brother Song, no matter what you choose, I respect your decision."

"Brother Yang Xian—" Song Ping turned around excitedly.

"Knock knock—" The knock on the door rang again.

Song Ping quickly stepped forward to open the door, a fragrant breeze blew on his face, and three women who were more delicate than blooming flowers floated in like fairies under the moon.

"Song Ping, I've thought about it, I want our wedding to be like this!" First, a girl in a fiery red shirt said in a hurry, she is the girl of Butterfly Rain. The girl who followed her behind her was wearing a goose-yellow cardigan skirt, quiet and elegant like an autumn chrysanthemum, it was Miss Shiyin. The last woman who came in was dressed as a young woman, and she looked more beautiful than both of them, and the moonlight sprinkled on her like a fairy falling into the world, which was Shiso.

"What did you say?" Song Ping was puzzled by her words.

"Song Gongzi-" Zi Su said with a smile: "Dieyu doesn't want to hold a wedding at night, and she doesn't want to cover her head, she wants to wear a big red wedding dress, put on a phoenix crown, and ride with you on a canopy boat decorated with red silk and red silk, and raft on the Qinhuai River." Is it okay to go from Taoyedu to Xishuiguan? ”

"Song Ping-" Dieyu took Song Ping's hand, her eyes shining, "I want people from the whole southern capital to witness our wedding, and let everyone know that we Qinglou women can also marry in a dignified manner under the blue sky and white sun." ”

"It's romantic—" Shiyin sighed from the side.

"I've given up everything for you, can't I grant you this request?" Song Ping held her hand tightly and said emotionally.

"Okay, then we'll get it." ......

Yang Muyun stepped forward and grabbed Zisu's hand and asked her to leave with interest. Zi Su understood and beckoned to Shi Yin.

The three of them left Cui Hongxuan together.

"Shiyin, Dieyu is married, you are the only one left on the pillar of this National Color Pavilion, what are your plans? By the way, how are you getting along with Xu Tianqi and Xu Gongzi of the Wei State Mansion? Shiso asked.

"He's it!" Shi Yin sneered disdainfully: "She wants half of Song Gongzi, and I will marry her." In his eyes, a Qinglou woman like me is just a rare plaything...... Forget it, let's not talk about him. "It's a shame to say. Looking at Zi Su and Yang Muyun holding hands, he said quietly: "Girl, if I can't get married for the rest of my life, can I stay in this National Color Pavilion forever?" ”

"Of course, you see, some sisters have a bad time after getting married, and they return to the National Color Pavilion, and they are still treated like before...... "Shiyin, don't think like this, why can't you get married?" But don't be too stubborn, Dieyu's marriage is something that can be met but not sought, if you meet a big family who loves you and pities you and loves you, it is not necessarily a good destination to be small for others. ”

"Okay, girl, don't talk about this," Shi Yinqiang put on a smiling face, "Dieyu is gone, the position of dancer is empty, and the only one who can replace her is Xu'er." When is the girl going to let Su'er come over? ”

"You say?" Zi Su's face was a little strange, and she glanced at Yang Muyun: "I'm afraid she won't be able to come, she still has someone to wait." ”

"I see." Shiyin's eyes flowed, and she sighed lightly: "The girl's heart is so broad-minded, I can't do it......" said and bowed slightly: "Girl, son, you are safe, Shiyin is gone." The skirt was lightly swayed, and the slender figure disappeared into the vast night.

Shisu looked at the bright moon in the sky, and a misty color appeared in his eyes.

"I am not as good as Butterfly Rain, dare to think and dare to do, wear a dress with my beloved, sit in a flower boat, and swim in the Qinhuai River, so that the people of the whole southern capital can witness their wedding. How romantic that was! The beautiful eyes glanced at Yang Muyun beside her: "Husband, let's make up a wedding!" I will also be like Butterfly Rain, wearing a wedding dress and sitting on the same flower boat with you, roaming the Qinhuai River, and welcoming the people of the whole southern capital to pray for our wedding......" Zisu said and slowly closed his eyes, with a serene smile on his face.

"Madame, do whatever you say!" Yang Muyun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, these women are really whimsical, holding the wedding on a flower boat, and the whole city is crazy with you, and praying for you? It would be nice if they didn't throw rotten rotten eggs at the boat.

"Girl—" Xia Hongyu's voice shattered Shisu's reverie.

"What's wrong? Sister Hong. Shiso opened his eyes and returned to reality from his thoughts.

"Girl, the sixth child bought another batch of chicks from Jiangbei, and asked the girl to come over and have a look." Xia Hongyu cranked the fan in her hand, and twisted her waist when she walked.

"Won't you arrange it yourself? And come and ask me. Shiso's face showed displeasure.

"Ordinary young people naturally don't come to disturb the girl, but there are a few very good quality here, please take a look at the girl." Xia Hongyu's face was full of smiles.

"Alright then!" Zi Su looked at Yang Muyun: "Husband, you can also help me take a look." ”

————————

In an exquisite elegant hall in the fifth courtyard of the National Color Pavilion, there were more than a dozen little girls standing high and low, the eldest of them was eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was only eight or nine years old.

Shisu sat lazily in a pineapple wooden Taishi chair and glanced at the group of girls who were not as old as cardamom. Stretched out his finger and said, "You, you stay, and the others go down." ”

Yang Muyun saw that the two little girls left behind were both eleven or twelve years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, beautiful faces, and they were all stunning beauty embryos.

"How old are you, what is your name, where are you from, and what do you do?" Shiso asked one of the girls.

"My name is Erya, twelve years old, from Yangzhou, my family is fishing, I can play the flute." The little girl's voice is crisp and fluent, her words are clear, and her big eyes are watery, revealing a sense of wit.

"Erya, is that also a name?" Zi Su chuckled: "From now on, your name is Jinxuan, understand?" ”

"Thank you, Miss." Xia Hongyu reminded.

"Jinxuan, thank you, Miss." The identity of the little girl changed quite quickly.

"What about you?" Shiso looked at the other girl.

"My name is Li'er, twelve years old, from Fengyang, our family is farming, I ...... I just do some sewing and patching. This little girl has a simple personality, and her face is slightly red when she can't say a few words.

"It's quite pitiful to be sold by your family at such a young age," Zi Su sighed slightly, "Don't call this name, you can change your name to Xiwen." ”

"Li'er...... No, Hee Won, thank you, Miss. The little girl said timidly.

"Girl, these two girls are quite smart, and their appearance is reasonable, stay by your side and wait, you see ......" Xia Hongyu said with a smile.

"Okay, I know what you mean," Zi Su glanced at Xia Hongyu, "Dieyu is about to get married, the National Color Pavilion can't do without a dancer as a pillar to press the formation, this position, in terms of posture and talent, now only Xu'er can go up, isn't it?" ”

"The girl is very right!" Xia Hongyu hurriedly agreed.

"But I don't care if I say it! Ask my husband! Shiso sighed.

"Childe ......" Xia Hongyu was stunned.

"The people around you, ask me what to do?" Yang Muyun smiled bitterly: "Su'er is full of talent, wouldn't it be a pity to let her be in the boudoir!" ”

"Are you really willing?" Shiso's eyes showed a hint of playful abuse.

"When did you get so bored?" Yang Muyun feigned anger.

"That's good!" Zi Su's face turned grim, and he said to Xia Hongyu: "As soon as Dieyu gets married, I will let Su'er come and live with her." Jinxuan—" A slight glance out of the corner of her eye, "You just follow me!" ”

"Yes, Miss!" The little girl replied loudly, her voice unable to hide a hint of joy.

"As for Xiwen, Sister Hong, you take her to Miss Shiyin, let Miss Shiyin train her well, and see if she is suitable to be a musician."

"Yes, girl!" Xia Hongyu's voice couldn't hide her excitement.

"Go down, all of you. I'm tired ......" Shiso's long eyelashes slowly drooped.

————————

"Husband, where are you going?" Zi Su opened his eyes and saw Yang Muyun about to step out of the room.

"I want to go out for a walk."

"I'll go with you." Zi Su jumped up from the chair and grabbed Yang Muyun's arm like a cheerful bird.

"Aren't you tired?"

"That's for them, and you believe that?" The corners of Shiso's mouth hooked a crescent.

Yang Muyun was silent and did not speak.

"I'm sorry to let you see this, I didn't take into account how you feel in your heart." Shiso's face darkened.

"That's nothing, if these girls are going to be sold, it's better to sell them to you than somewhere else." Yang Muyun said flatly.
