Chapter 34 Xiaoxiang Pavilion
"Your Highness, the Flying Eagle Department has received news that it has found Su Ziyao's maid at that time in a small mountain village two hundred miles away." This was already the third day after returning from the Ministry of Shangshu's Mansion, and Kong Yuan hurriedly walked in and reported the good news to Yang Yun.
"Great, you inform Sister Feifei, immediately send someone to control this maid, and find out the truth of what happened back then, and see if you can find other relevant people from her." The sudden good news surprised Yang Yun.
Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the name is very good, and it is very famous in the whole Xijing City, because it is one of the four green buildings in Xijing. Xiaoxiang Pavilion's "Qin Fairy" Liu Piaopiao is one of the most popular prostitutes in Xijing. Many princes and nobles in Dafu did not hesitate to spend a lot of money in order to see the beautiful face of the willow and listen to the natural sound she played.
This big green building is a little different from what modern people imagine, it is not just a place for women to exchange their bodies for gold and silver. There are many who are selling their art but not their bodies, they rely on their peerless beauty and various talents, but they have more supporters, Liu Piaopiao is such a woman.
"Yo! Childe, you haven't been here for a long time, please come in, please come in! Yang Yun and his entourage came to the door of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and an old bustard with a thick fat powder on his face greeted him with a smile. This old bustard was obviously very proficient in human affairs, and he could see at a glance that Yang Yun was the leader of this group of people, and immediately greeted him warmly.
Under the leadership of the old bustard, Yang Yun walked into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion with Ju Yuanguang and Qi Wei, while the rest of the guards waited outside the door. The bustard led the three of them to a table near the front desk and sat down.
Yang Yun looked at this Xiaoxiang Pavilion, as one of the several major sales caves in Xijing, this Xiaoxiang Pavilion is sure to live up to its name. The whole hall is splendidly decorated, and the huge hall is full of people. Many women dressed up in fancy clothes came and went inside.
"How many sons, do you know a girl? The old man arranged for them to come over and drink with a few people. The old bustard asked with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, we rarely come here, you can arrange a few to come over." Qi Wei obviously didn't go to such a place, and he was very clear about the doorway inside, so he said to the old bustard with a smile.
After a while, the old bustard came to them with more than a dozen women of different heights, shortness, fat and thinness, and asked them to choose a woman they liked. Yang Yun was very sympathetic to these women who were forced to walk this road for their livelihood, and he chose a woman who looked like she should be able to speak well and let her sit beside him. Qi Wei and Ju Yuanguang also chose one person to sit beside them.
These women make a living in such places every day, and they are clearly proficient in this way, and they are very good at creating atmosphere. Pull the three of them to play a few small games such as hiding hooks, holding a lance, dusting money, and throwing dice, and if you lose, you will drink a drink. After a while, everyone became familiar.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Yun asked the woman sitting next to him, "I heard that Zhong Wenrui of the Zhong family often comes here, why didn't you see him today?" ”
The woman thought for a while, and suddenly said: "The guest officer is talking about the drunkard of the Zhong family, he, he will come over every three or five days, and he won't go home if he doesn't get drunk." The northernmost table, where he would have sat when he came. That man, the one who picks the door very much, never calls him a girl, but just drinks alcohol alone. The woman said, pointing to an empty table in the corner.
Yang Yun and the others sat there drinking and playing games. After a while, the performance began on the stage, with magic, singing songs, acrobatics, etc., which was very lively. Provoke the audience to applaud and cheer, or give some money to the performers.
At this time, a small guy came up to the stage and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is very lucky today, our Xiaoxiang Pavilion "Qin Fairy" Liu Piaopiao girl has a new song, which will be played in front of everyone for the first time.
Xiaowu's words were quickly responded, and everyone cheered loudly in the audience, as if the modern star-chasers saw their idols.
Immediately afterwards, a girl about twenty-nine years old, wearing a pink dress, held a guqin in her arms, and walked on stage. The girl's skin was brighter than snow, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and her long hair was like a black waterfall. This girl's appearance is extremely beautiful, she is really like a pearl, beautiful jade, and there is a faint breath of book between her eyebrows.
When Yang Yun first looked at this girl, he couldn't help but be stunned, is this girl really the top famous prostitute in Xiaoxiang Pavilion? This innocent appearance is obviously a small jasper. Looking at her appearance and figure, she is indeed worthy of the four words "Closed Moon and Shy Flower", no wonder it can be sought after by many princes and nobles.
"The little woman Liu Piaopiao has given you a salute!" The beautiful girl walked to the front desk, glanced at the audience, and saluted the audience.
Yang Yun found that when the girl swept over her, there was a sudden pause, and there was a trace of surprise in her expression, but then she returned to normal.
"Does this girl know herself?" Yang Yun felt a little puzzled, but he had never seen this girl! After thinking about it, Yang Yun shook his head, this should be his own illusion.
At this time, Liu Piaopiao had retreated to the stage, sat on a brocade stool, put the guqin on the table, and with a gentle flick of her slender jade fingers, a crisp sound of the piano came into everyone's ears. The hall immediately fell silent, for everyone knew that the piano fairy was about to start playing.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of piano sound came into everyone's ears, and the sound, sometimes like a clear spring flowing through a stream, was so clear and ethereal; Sometimes it is like a breeze blowing through the treetops, it is so soft and elegant; Sometimes it is like a bird singing in the hollow valley, which is so crisp and pleasant. The sound of the piano made everyone intoxicated, and they seemed to be taken into a beautiful paradise, enjoying the fairy-like beauty, and it seemed that even the air was flowing with the fresh breath of the mountains.
The note slowly decreases until it stops completely. However, in
Everyone was still immersed in the sound of the piano, and the hall was silent. After a long time, I don't know who took the lead in the applause, and everyone reacted, and the applause and cheers sounded like a tide, which lasted for a long time.
"This song should only be in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world! Piao Piao girl, play another song! A voice came, and immediately drew the chorus of the crowd.
Liu Piaopiao did not refuse, flicked the strings with both hands, and played again. This time, the music played was different, but it had a different taste, which made everyone snor. Liu Piaopiao played three tunes in a row, all of which were very pleasant to the ear. After the three songs, although some people still wanted to continue listening, Liu Piaopiao stopped playing.
The show continued, although the performers were still working hard. But there is no longer the kind of scene when Liu Piaopiao came on the field, and everyone in the field was enthusiastic. When Yang Yunzheng felt a little bored, he saw a middle-aged man with a somewhat tall figure and a somewhat messy beard walking in.
"Zhong Wenrui is here!" Kong Yuan saw the middle-aged man and whispered to Yang Yun.
Zhong Wenrui walked into the hall, no one greeted him, and he didn't greet anyone, and walked straight to the table in the corner. As soon as he sat down, a little guy was holding a plate of side dishes and a jar of wine on his table, obviously this little guy knew Zhong Wenrui's habits.
