Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 71 Ascending to the Green Building Again
A former sage once said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
In the same way, where there are people, there are green buildings.
The Qinglou is actually very interesting here, from the outside, the Qinglou is just a simple building, but inside, it is a unique cave.
If you want to ask how many green buildings there are in the Great Shadow Empire? It is estimated that no one will be able to answer, because no one will have the time to count this, but one thing is for sure, the number of Qinglou in the Great You Empire must be as numerous as the carp crossing the river. However, if you ask which of these green buildings are the most famous, then I am afraid that if you pull a random person on the street, he can say one, two, three...... And it is definitely impossible to avoid the names "Liujing River" and "Red Sleeve Move".
In fact, the top three Qinglou in the Great You Empire are also these "Liujing River" and "Red Sleeve Move".
This sentence is not wrong, the "Liujing River" here refers to two buildings, namely the big Liujing River in Yunzhou City, Beiyu, and the small Liujing River in Jianzhang City, the fief of the Marquis of Haihun.
It's just that these two Liujing rivers are spread out with a glamorous name, but the red sleeve trick alone is spread to the world with a clear name.
The red sleeve is located on the edge of the Jinshui River on the edge of the southern city of Fengling City, as for why it is located here, in fact, the reason is very simple, because the southern city of Fengling City is the richest and richest, and the ultimate purpose of the existence of Qinglou is for money...... Whether it is the Liujing River, which spreads with a glamorous name, or the Red Sleeve Move, which is famous for its Qing name, their existence has always been prepared for those who are rich.
……
As night approached, a carriage slowly moved into the alley in front of the Red Sleeve Sign.
The person holding the carriage is Ling Huyi, since entering Fengling City, Ling Hujie has followed Mu Qiuhuang inch by inch, playing the role of the coachman's bodyguard, and Mu Qiuhuang generally chooses to sit in the carriage when he travels. The reason why this is the case is because the main task of Linghu Ji in Beijing this time is to be responsible for protecting Mu Qiuhuang's safety. When the three hundred soldiers he brought entered the city, most of them were left outside the city, so Ling Hu Ji had to make the security protection to the extreme, so as to make up for the lack of numbers, it can be seen from this carriage, although this carriage looks no different from other carriages in appearance, but in fact it is specially made, in addition to the inner side of the carriage is equipped with a layer of steel plates that can resist crossbow arrows, there is a dark pavilion on the left side of the carriage, and in the dark pavilion is placed Ling Hu Ji's Xuanhua axe...... After all, Linghu Ji, who is holding a Xuanhua axe, can take the head of a general among the ten thousand armies.
"Young master, the red sleeves have been recruited." Ling Hu Jile stopped the carriage and reported to Mu Qiuhuang in a thick voice.
"That's it."
Mu Qiuhuang lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, then turned his head and smiled at Su Xiaoxiao: "Young Master Su, the red sleeves have been recruited, let's go down and have a look!" ”
I saw that Su Xiaoxiao in the carriage was dressed up in men's clothes today, Mu Qiuhuang's clothes fit her very well, and she looked heroic and sassy, like a rare beautiful man.
Su Xiaoxiao chuckled when she heard this, and quipped: "Mu Gongzi, have you ever ordered someone to greet you on the red carpet today?" ”
Mu Qiuhuang laughed when she heard this, knowing that she was ridiculing her past when she rolled out the red carpet and went to Liujing River.
After Mu Qiuhuang finished laughing, he said leisurely: "When the Japanese son Meng Lang is to make a good face in front of that Su Oiran, I am afraid that there is no one in this building today who can compare with the Su Oiran, so naturally there is no red carpet." ”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled when she heard this: "What Mu Gongzi said is reasonable. ”
Mu Qiuhuang jumped out of the carriage first, stretched out his arm and let Su Xiaoxiao help his arm down, looking as if he was Su Xiaoxiao's follower.
"Brother Linghu wants to go in and have a walk together?" Mu Qiuhuang asked Linghu Ji.
Hearing this, Linghu smiled at Mu Qiuhuang and waved his hand and said, "It's better for the young master to go in, I'll just wait in the carriage, I Linghu is a rough person who can't enter this kind of noble building that can only be seen but not touched......"
Mu Qiuhuang knew his character, and smiled at him: "That's fine, then there is Brother Lao Linghu waiting outside." ”
Outside the red sleeve move is the willow and the scenery is a person, and the red sleeve move is the light and the mountain is reverie.
And the difference between this red-sleeved move and the Liujing River is also very obvious, and the red-sleeved move is not like the Liujing River, where the Yiren stand against the railing...... Even, except for the red sleeves written on the plaque at the door and a few Tsing Yi guys standing at the door, there is no trace of dust from the outside.
Mu Qiuhuang was a little surprised when he saw this scene, smacked his lips and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "The buildings in this Kyoto are exquisite, if you look at it from the outside, I thought it was a academy?" ”
Su Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and chuckled: "Childe wants to say that this red-sleeved trick is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep?" ”
"Isn't it?" Mu Qiuhuang tilted his head and asked.
"Not really." Su Xiaoxiao explained to Mu Qiuhuang: "Speaking of this red-sleeved trick, it is really a clear stream in the building, although there are many beautiful women in it, but they are all pure people who sell their art and do not sell their bodies, and the guests who go in can only chant poems and sing about wine, and there is no half of the skin and meat business...... And all these rules were inherited by its first landlord, the fish family, and there were even rumors that the fish family used to be friends with the queen mother of that period. ”
"Fish everyone? This surname is so weird. Mu Qiuhuang muttered.
Su Xiaoxiao was surprised when she heard this: "Childe, don't you know about the fish? Fish are all fish mysteries! ”
Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard this, he naturally knew about Yu Xuanji, it was rumored that Yu Xuanji not only looked good, but also was intelligent and quick-witted by nature, good at reading, and liked to be literate...... It's just that Mu Qiuhuang never thought that this strange woman who could occupy a place in history would be the first generation of the landlord of this red-sleeved move?
Su Xiaoxiao knew what he was thinking when he saw Mu Qiuhuang's appearance, and said with a slight smile: "Don't believe it, childe, when you enter this red sleeve move, you will know that what Xiaoxiao said is true." ”
"Okay." Mu Qiuhuang answered the sentence and entered the building with Su Xiaoxiao.
After entering the building, Mu Qiuhuang realized that what Su Xiaoxiao said was indeed true. There is a raised stage in the middle of the lobby, and although the women on the stage are graceful and slim, they are all focusing on the musical instruments in their hands, and between the eyebrows and eyes it looks gentle and decent, dignified and generous, so that the people who see it have more appreciation and can't afford to have obscene thoughts, and the silk and bamboo played are also mostly elegant songs...... It is really suitable for those literati and ink writers to chant poems here and exchange their experiences. Mu Qiuhuang glanced at the several tables of guests sitting in the hall, and found that although they were all accompanied by twenty-eight beauties, they were really just eating tea and chatting, and there was no out-of-the-ordinary intimate picture.
Su Xiaoxiao refused the guidance of the little servant, and directly led Mu Qiuhuang to the third floor of the pavilion, Mu Qiuhuang looked at the corridor and found that some of the doors were actually wide open, and there was no one as he imagined, but it was more pure than the first and second floors.
Su Xiaoxiao led the way in front and explained to Mu Qiuhuang: "Childe, there are a total of seventeen rooms on the third floor, and we have an appointment with Liu Sigongzi in the fourteenth room ~ Miaofeng Pavilion. ”
Yes, the main purpose of Mu Qiuhuang's visit to the Red Sleeves today was not to visit the Qinglou, but to meet the fourth son of Liu from the Haihun Marquis Mansion, Liu Yiyong.
"Hmm." Mu Qiuhuang replied casually, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a strange face.
"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoxiao asked puzzled when she saw Mu Qiuhuang staring at her.
Mu Qiuhuang thought for a moment and asked, "Why are you so familiar with this red-sleeved move?" ”
Su Xiaoxiao's face turned red when she heard this, and she explained in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao once came in disguised as a man before......"
"You...... Female companions and men's clothes just to visit the green house? Mu Qiuhuang was also a little crying and laughing after confirmation, he really didn't understand that Su Xiaoxiao would have such a special hobby, although Su Xiaoxiao used to be the Oiran of the Liujing River, but at that time, she was just to hide her identity and hang a name, and she also lived alone in a small courtyard in the flower boat and had never seen outsiders......
The two soon came to the Miaofeng Pavilion, pushed the door in, and saw that Liu Sigongzi had not yet arrived.
Mu Qiuhuang glanced at the room and found that the room was also different from other Qinglou, because there was no bed in the room.
And apart from this, there is no longer a single fault in the room. The decoration of the whole room is elegant and quiet style, in addition to the large windows that open on both sides, the furniture in the house is also a precious object, and the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, chess, calligraphy and painting, all kinds of antique toys are readily available, even the screen placed in the house is exquisite, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance.
"Son, sit down for a while, I'll go and call the little guy to send some fruit and tea." Su Xiaoxiao greeted Mu Qiuhuang and turned to leave the room.
Mu Qiuhuang walked to the window and opened the window to look, and found that he could see the carriage driven by Ling Huji, seeing this scene Mu Qiuhuang also smiled, and guessed that Su Xiaoxiao must have discussed with Ling Hujie when choosing this room, because if there is any accident here, the two of them can immediately gather together with Ling Hujie by jumping out of the window...... Thinking of this, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but praise Su Xiaoxiao, closed the window and began to look around the room, to Mu Qiuhuang's surprise, an ancient painting hanging on the wall was still genuine.
After a while, Su Xiaoxiao went and returned, and soon a little maid walked into the room with a square plate, and sent two teas, two plates of melon seeds and nuts, four plates of exquisite snacks, and two hot towels.
After drinking half a cup of tea and eating a few grains of fruit, just when the two of them felt a little bored and had just set up the chessboard to prepare for a game, they suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door outside.
