Chapter 87: Phoenix Blood Jade (2)

The time was approaching the ugly time, but Xuan Zhuyi's house was still full of people and lively. Everyone was sad at the moment, thinking that they could get some reliable news to help them with the help of the white wolf's mouth, but they didn't expect the news to know, but the matter was tricky and couldn't be done, and the scene fell silent for a while. After a while, Yu Cihe broke the long-lasting silence and asked the white wolf, "White wolf, do you know who this Hu Xiaowei is?" Why does she have such a thing as phoenix blood jade in her hand? ”

The white wolf sighed and said, "Hey~ I said Yu Cihe, do you really think I know everything?"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Otherwise? Aren't you very capable? ”

White Wolf: "It's not useful to have the ability here!"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Then what do you know, tell us?"

The white wolf shook his head and said: "I only know that this Hu Xiaowei once lived in the capital, and it seems that he was quite famous at that time, but I don't remember what he did." But later, she fell ill and died, and the people in the capital missed her for a while, but after a long time, those people forgot about it. ”

Mu Zhixi: "Very famous? Is she the daughter of a big family in the capital? ”

White Wolf: "This...... Doesn't think so...... I think she's quite ordinary, nothing special, I don't know why those people are so obsessed with her, and she's really blind. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "So you've seen her?"

White Wolf: "What do you say...... I guess I've seen it, right? Hey~ My memory is getting worse and worse now, like this old thing, I can only think of a little bit. If you want to know anything more detailed, just ask the old merchants in the capital? ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "But didn't Hu Xiaowei die hundreds of years ago?" How would the old merchants know? ”

White Wolf: "Didn't I say it, she was very famous back then, and everyone in the capital knew it." What if after all these years, there are still her admirers in Beijing? If she is really her admirer, even if it is a descendant, her things back then will be regarded as an after-dinner conversation. Do you think that famous people are just a temporary boom? If it is a legend from generation to generation, it is very far away. ”

Ouyang Ruolin: "I thought this matter was not so complicated, but I didn't expect it to be a dead game."

"Hey~" The white wolf shook his head with regret, stood up and walked to Yu Cihe's side, and looked back at everyone, "Look at this day, it's ugly, if you don't sleep, I'll be sleepy for a long time." I've told you everything you want to ask, so I'll go first, and you guys might as well do it yourself. With that, he smiled and patted Yu Cihyuk's shoulder, and disappeared as if there was only a light when he first arrived. It was late at night, and everyone was speechless, and they all went back to their rooms to rest.

The North Soul Garden is still as dead and silent as ever, compared to the South Pavilion of the Cold Wolf, the Cold Wolf is really a young man full of vitality and vitality in his heart! And the cold-faced Guzun is just like her name, there is always a feeling of impersonalness. Every time the cold wolf came to the North Soul Garden, he had a feeling of being beaten into the regional ice cellar, if it weren't for the fact that he and the cold face Guzun were old friends, he really wouldn't want to come here for the rest of his life. The blood-like flowers blooming everywhere made him feel tingling all over his body, and the blood-like river water under the Soul Locking Bridge that kept flowing as always, all made the cold wolf feel an indescribable impact on his eyes. The position above the main hall was empty at the moment. The wolf shook his head and sat down on the pillars of the Soul Locking Bridge. He took out a silver bell from his bosom and shook it to himself. A crisp and melodious sound of bells echoed through the nightmarish palace, and within a quarter of an hour, a red light flashed in front of the wolf's eyes and landed in the center of the main hall. A red-eyed, red-dressed, delicate and charming woman sat in the center of the main hall with a wave of her sleeves. The wolf no longer played with the silver bell in his hand, put it back in his arms, stood up and walked up to the main hall, and sat down in a random place.

"Do you know what time it is?" Gu Zun closed his eyes and didn't look at the wolf wolf, but asked so lightly.

"Yes, it's ugly." The wolf replied unconcernedly.

"What happened again? Do you have to come to me now? Gu Zun finally opened his eyes, staring listlessly at the cold wolf with a pair of red eyes. The wolf also turned his head and put his eyes on her and said, "I slept well today, and I was suddenly called away, and I just came back, so I thought I would bother you too."

"Hmph~" Gu Zun snorted coldly and closed his eyes again, "Sure enough, this is something that only you can do." ”

"Yes~" The cold wolf also turned around and said, "Isn't pulling people into the water also my strength?" ”

"If you're all right, I'll go back to sleep. But if you don't want to go, sit in my house. With that, Gu Zun got up and was about to leave. The cold wolf on the side suddenly spoke: "Someone suddenly asked me today, who is Hu Xiaowi?" Where do you live? ”

Hearing this, Gu Zun stopped, and asked back with interest, "Oh? How did the Lord of the Wolf Pavilion answer? ”

The cold wolf sneered: "Naturally, it's telling the truth!" Hu Xiaowei died of illness hundreds of years ago. ”

"Well, that's true." A smile appeared on Gu Zun's lips and said, "It's been hundreds of years, how can anyone still miss Hu Xiaowei?" ”

"So how do you know? There are always people in this world who are obsessed with one thing. The cold wolf also stood up and walked to Lone Zun's side and said, "It's like Lone Zun has always been obsessed with the red of this life." ”

Gu Zun: "I can't help it."

Chill Wolf: "Every time I come to your North Soul Garden, I feel a biting cold. This wolf or fox, whose blood is colder? ”

Gu Zun: "Each other, otherwise these hundred-year-old friends will be in vain."

The cold wolf suddenly began to laugh, turned around and walked onto the Soul Lock Bridge, and before leaving, he didn't forget to preach to Gu Zun: "It's really a terrible phoenix blood jade!" Spare me for tonight's sweet dream, you have to clean up your North Soul Garden! It's not good if some child inadvertently breaks in and frightens people. With that, the wolf vanished. Standing in the main hall, Gu Zun sneered, and then disappeared above the main hall with a wave of his sleeves, and everything returned to normal.

The crowd hadn't slept long before the street was bustling with activity. Forced to have something important to do, Xuan Zhuyi and a few people couldn't sleep more in the inn, and after a fierce struggle with the same bed, everyone finally got up to freshen up and go out. Seeing that the streets gradually became lively, several people began to think about where to go to inquire about the news.

Shang Ling: "Generally speaking, the best place to inquire about news should be the tavern, because the tavern has a lot of people and is relatively miscellaneous, and the news should be the most sensitive. Even if there are no people to listen to, the guys in the tavern are all eloquent people, and there is a lot of news to hear, but I don't know how credible it is. ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "Then find a tavern and ask first."

A few people walked aimlessly on the street, and when they came across a tavern, they went in to drink and inquire about the news. A few people sat around a table, asked for a jar of wine, and ordered a few dishes, which was regarded as an early lunch. The guy who ran the hall hurriedly beckoned a few people, and after a while, everything came up. Shang Ling saw the opportunity and began to chat with him while the store guy was delivering wine.

Shang Ling: "Huh? Brother, how long have you been working in this shop? ”

Man: "This guest master, I've been here for a long time, just say whatever you want."

As soon as Shang Ling saw that this guy was a familiar veteran, he no longer thought about going around in circles, and asked him bluntly, "Do you know that there was a well-known girl named Hu Xiaowi in the capital?"

"Hu Xiaowi?" The shopkeeper thought about it for a while and said, "Oh~ It seems that there is such a person, but it should have been a long time ago." ”

Shang Ling: "Do you know which family this girl is?" I heard that it was very famous in the capital at that time. ”

The shopkeeper suddenly realized, "Oh! I remember, this is also what my ancestors said, as for who said it, it should be the seniors of my family who said it. My ancestors said that hundreds of years ago, there were four beauties in the capital, called piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. The Hu Xiaowei that Gongzi just mentioned, I guess it should be the Qin girl among the four beauties at that time. This piano girl is not an ordinary person, not only has exquisite piano skills, a good voice, and a unique appearance, but also the kung fu of writing poems and inscriptions is also very exquisite! ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "This Qin girl is so perfect, how did she get to the Qinglou?"

Shopkeeper: "Although the girl is a geisha, she also belongs to the official prostitute, I don't know how to get there, but it must be presided over by the official family."

As he was talking, the shopkeeper saw the shopkeeper chatting here, so he scolded: "What time is it!" I also chatted with the guest master! Go about your business, don't chew your tongue there! ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly apologized to Xuan Zhuyi and said, "The shopkeeper is scolding, I'll leave first, don't talk to a few masters, you can take care of it." With that, he trotted away. Xuan Zhuyi couldn't say anything to a few people, and it would be bad if he was involved with irrelevant people, so they started chatting with each other.

Mu Zhixi: "Hu Xiaowei turned out to be a talented official prostitute?"

Mu Jinggong: "Since it is an official prostitute, it must be someone from the official family who presides over this matter, and it is not surprising that the prince knows."

Ouyang Ruolin: "Who set such a precedent and set up a place like Qinglou, even talented people began to be involuntarily."

Yu Cihe: "This is a precedent, and the first one to open a female lu was Guan Zhong, the minister of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. Guan Zhong is indeed a genius, he knows that by opening a brothel, he can not only increase the income of the country, but also gather talents, which is really a good deal. The original intention of the Qinglou was not to be a woman, but the residence of the emperor. Therefore, during the Three Kingdoms, Cao Zhi had a poem: "The green building is on the road, and the high gate is closed." ”

Shang Ling: "The earliest to call the brothel a green building is from the poem "Wanshan Mulberry Pickers" by Liu Miao of Nanliang, which contains "Prostitutes are not sorrowful, end up in the green building". And the "green building" in this sentence was misrepresented because of the attack on the predecessors. Since then, the literati and writers have used false rumors to call brothels "green houses". ”

Ouyang Ruolin suddenly realized: "So that's the case."

Mu Jinggong: "What should I do next?" We're going...... Do you want to take a trip to the Qinglou? ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Mu Jinggong, and Mu Jinggong blushed and asked, "What's the ...... What's wrong? ”

Everyone didn't talk, they just smiled silently, and then lowered their heads to drink and eat, but Mu Jinggong was embarrassed and at a loss.
