As the most powerful country in this continent, Haoguo, its strength is not only reflected in its vast territory, magnificent rivers and mountains, but also in its unprecedented prosperous capital. I don't know who said that a country is strong enough to be seen from the prosperity of its capital. And Jingshi just verified this sentence.

Jingshi, this historic city, has undergone several dynasties of expansion, its area has become unprecedentedly vast, especially now His Majesty the Emperor, has extended the city wall to the mountains on both sides, as if there is a trend of wanting to annex it. The city has also lived up to the emperors of several dynasties, relying on its endless territory, which has made the population of this capital rise sharply, and has stimulated the rapid development of all walks of life, among which, the most rapid development is the two floors - the restaurant and the green building.

The so-called restaurant is naturally a place for meals and drinking. Qinglou is a place for Haoguo men to have fun and express their feelings. But the Penglai Xianju located in the east of Shengye Street in Jingshi City is different, to say that its restaurant, but also for food and wine, but after experiencing it personally, I found that it was not full of noisy shouts like other restaurants, but instead of a light and pleasant sound of the piano.

But if it is said to be a green building, it is like, after all, except for a few thugs guarding the door, from the shopkeeper to the back kitchen, it is a woman's house. However, it is not like an ordinary brothel in Qinglou, where the women only sell their art and do not sell their bodies. Of course, there are naturally some girls on the floor who can't help but do it. Originally, there were several high-ranking officials' sons and daughters who fell in love with a dancing girl here, so they thought about forcibly occupying it, although it was successful, but a few days later, those sons and brothers honestly went to Jingzhao Yamen one by one to surrender, as for the official father of the family, he was silent. At this point, no one touched the thoughts of the girls here.

The shopkeeper of Penglai Xianju is a clear person, never restricting the freedom of the girls, as early as the day of the completion of Penglai Xianju, he said that if the two are happy, they will let them go, and give a dowry. But the strange thing is that in the past few years, not a single woman has left, but women have kept coming in. This also made the people of Jingshi very puzzled.

But Li Xiao won't pay attention to these, and he is not interested in understanding what those girls think, after all, you can never guess what girls think. At this time, he was sitting in Chen Ziye's carriage, looking at the woman in white playing the piano in front of the Xianju through the window, eating Chu Chu's peeled oranges one after another, and listening to Chen Ziye's gushing introduction.

"Si, it's so sour." Li Xiao, who was sour by the oranges, subconsciously frowned, quickly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, looked at the oranges on the side angrily, and slandered the extremely bad behavior of the orange sellers in his heart.

Li Xiao's performance fell in Chu Chu's eyes without leaking, and the little girl was busy regretting why she didn't taste it first before giving it to the young master, and at the same time took out a hand towel to wipe the saliva oozing from the corner of Li Xiao's mouth.

And all this is completely in the eyes of Chen Ziye, who is sitting opposite, although he is still talking about Penglai Xianju, he has begun to be "jealous" of the young master who is being served in front of him.

The light of the sky flowed unobstructed, shining on the slightly moist blue stone pavement, which was somewhat dazzling, and the doors of the shops on both sides of the street were open and silent. It's early summer, and the trees outside the city have already grown new shoots, and the sun is shining, and it is quite vibrant.

Chen Ziye's carriage moved slowly on the flat road, the decorations on the car were placed casually, and the sound of the wheels running over the ground involuntarily blended into the music played by the piano girl.

The carriage was extremely quiet, and when he entered the street, Chen Ziye subconsciously lowered his voice.

Through the crack in the window, Li Xiao looked at the woman in white sitting at the door of Penglai Xianju, this person was the girl playing the piano. Listen to Chen Caizi said, this piano girl is the characteristics of Penglai Xiandao, originally just to attract business, but over time, people on the street like to listen to music for free, so it has become a routine, for convenience, Xianju is specially built a shed, fortunately in rainy days can also make this empty long street filled with pleasant singing.

Li Xiao, who was sitting in the carriage, liked it very much, not to mention how beautiful the sound of the piano was, just the woman in white who played the piano was already a must in the world, with a delicate face, just the right eyebrows, seductive lips, silky long hair, and the white and flawless little hands, such a woman is enough to be worthy of the words "Penglai Xianju".

"Brother Li has been watching for so long, isn't he in love with that woman." Chen Ziye shook the folding fan, lifted the curtains, glanced at the white-clothed piano girl, and teased: "If you like it, you will pursue it, the shopkeeper of this immortal residence is also an understanding person, and he will not prevent Brother Li from being happy with her." ”

After listening to Chen Ziye, Li Xiao did not speak.

It doesn't look like it, but from the sound of the woman's piano, I heard that she seems to have been hurt by love in her life, and the love word is the most difficult to understand since ancient times, and she can't help but look at the person trapped by love. However, Chen Ziye's words are not unreasonable, the woman is good-looking, and it is not strange to look at her. Seeing that the piano girl smiled, nodded in recognition of her piano sound, and shrank back. The lyre girl smiled and nodded in response, and then continued to play.

"Crunch."

While speaking, the carriage stopped steadily, it was lunch at this time, there were not many people on the street, the door of "Penglai Xianju" was open, and the sound of silk and bamboo accompanied by the fragrance of rice came to the face, causing Li Xiao, who had not eaten dinner yesterday, to rumble in his stomach.

Chen Ziye should be a regular customer, and when the carriage stopped, someone came to greet him.

Today's Haoguo attaches great importance to literature, no matter where it is, it has always welcomed talented scholars and young talents, Chen Ziye as the kind of person who became famous in his early years, even if he is unbearable now, but there is always a prestige left, and "Penglai Xianju" is extremely popular with these talented and beautiful people, he is a frequent visitor, but it is normal.

After a while, the coachman quickly led the carriage away, and Li Xiao and the three walked in under the leadership of a girl in a purple skirt. At the beginning, Li Xiao was still surprised by Chen Ziye's ability, and he was able to book a room in the full "Penglai Immortal Residence", and it was still on the second floor, but he soon learned from his mouth that all this was the result of that Young Master Lu's spending a lot of money.

Lu Yunlu is really "multi-talented".

smiled, followed into the immortal residence, at a glance, full of guests, it seemed to be boundless.

When you enter the threshold, you will be covered with a brown-red blanket, and when you step on it, it looks like you are in the clouds, which is really soft. Then after walking a little way, there is a circular stage, colorful tulle pouring down from the top, swaying with the skylight, charming dancers swirling in the tulle, wisps of green smoke filled, like a legendary fairyland, quite shocking.

After being nostalgic for a while, I was about to leave. Behind the stage is a mahogany staircase covered with a red blanket, and you will soon reach the second floor.

The second floor of "Penglai Xianju" does not seem to have the liveliness of the first floor, and when I looked at it, I saw a neat wing room, with a sign of "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" hanging on it. The door of the wing room was tightly closed, and if it weren't for the constant heat and fragrance coming out of it, Li Xiao would have thought that this two-story building would not accept guests.

As the girl in the purple skirt walked for a while, she stopped, and the girl slammed the door lightly and said, "The boy is here." He stepped aside.

The door in front of him creaked open, and it was the young master of the Lu family who had not been seen for a day, Lu Yunlu.

Seeing Li Xiao appear, Lu Yunlu was naturally happy, the day before yesterday, he was grounded by his sister for some reason when he just returned home. As a man, he should have theorized, but Young Master Lu, who has a humble family status, has long been accustomed to the arrogance of his sister in the family, so he didn't refute it.

But Young Master Lu is not a peaceful person, when he received Chen Ziye's banquet yesterday, he began to take care of everything, and he also said that he had a treat with high ambitions. Taking advantage of today, my father and sister were not at home when they went out, so they slipped out early, first went to Chunguangyuan to renew their relationship with Qiao'er, and got tired of it, and then came to Penglai Xianju to book a box.

But after booking the box, he found that the time was still early, and he had nothing to do for a while, and began to think of the sweet words of the bridge girl, but the two places were far away, and the fairy residence was a regular place, without those services, he instantly felt that he had no love, and began to lie on the table and count the melon kernels on the plate, fortunately, Li Xiao did not come very late, otherwise this Lu Gongzi was afraid that he would go crazy.

Li Xiao never thought that Lu Yunlu would come so early, in his opinion, today is Chen Ziye to do the east, naturally it was when he and Chen Ziye arrived, Lu Yunlu appeared, so he had a fast meal, watched the masters of Wan'an Temple chanting in the front yard, and then slowly walked to the street to get on Chen Ziye's carriage, and was not in a hurry along the way, and even listened to the performance of the white-clothed piano girl at the door.

In fact, you can't blame Li Xiao, Lu Yunlu came so early, even Chen Ziye didn't expect it, he and Lu Yunlu have been wandering for so many years, all along, he waited for Lu Yunlu, and even when Chen Ziye was entertaining, he came unhurriedly, who knew that this time, he actually came so early.

"I didn't expect Brother Lu to come so early and late, I'm sorry." Chen Ziye arched his hand and smiled apologetically: "It's really a shame to let you break the bank." ”

Lu Yunlu didn't care about anything, he didn't restrain the man in front of him, who was more than ten years older than him, and leaned forward with a smile: "A little money, what do you care about, but if you really don't want to go, don't grab the bridge with Ben Shao next time." ”

"Haha." Chen Ziye laughed loudly, but the laughter was quickly drowned out in the sound of silk and bamboo.

"Don't you look at Miss Qiao'er, if she likes Chen's literary talent, it's not easy to refuse."

Chen Ziye's words were a little shameless, but to be honest, compared to Lu Yunlu, this Chen genius's literary talent is indeed a lot stronger. Lu Yunlu also knew this, and secretly scolded him for being shameless, so he didn't pay attention to it. Waving her hand to signal the girl in the purple skirt who was snickering to serve the food, and led Li Xiao and the three into the house.

The joke of the two Li Xiao is in the left ear and out of the right ear, smiled, and followed in, but when he entered the house, he subconsciously glanced at the brown-red sign hanging by the door - "Dizi No. 1".
