Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Past (1)
After eating and drinking, a few people set off for the largest Qinglou in the capital. Several people were about to enter the door, but they were stopped by several turtle men.
"Hey, hey? What do you do? ”
Xuan Zhuyi was speechless for a while, and said, "What do you say we do?"
The other party was not happy when he heard it: "Hey! You kid, now I'm asking you, but you're asking me! ”
Shang Ling saw that Xuan Zhuyi was stuck there, and hurriedly said for him, "Who are you talking about?" Who else could come to such a place? It's really the first time I've seen this realm with the door wide open and the guests rushing out, it seems that you don't want more than two silver? If you don't want it, we'll go! With that, Shang Ling turned around and pulled Xuan Zhuyi, and took the opportunity to give Yu Cihe a few people a look, and the six of them turned around and left like that. Before he could take two steps, the person behind him changed his attitude, and hurriedly came up and grabbed Shang Ling and apologized: "This guest master, I'm sorry!" I...... I have no eyes and no beads, and I have offended you unintentionally, so you are angry! ”
Not to be outdone, Shang Ling continued to put on a score: "Huh? You don't want it, and I can't shoehorn it into you, can I? We have complied with your wishes and are gone, why have you offended me? ”
The other party still smiled and said: "This guest master, you are really joking, this is indeed my fault, I apologize to you."
Shang Ling finally relented and said, "Okay, since I have apologized for the courtesy, wouldn't it seem that I am not generous enough to deal with you again?" So be it. ”
"Hey! Thank you for your face, please inside. ”
Shang Ling started to walk inside, and when the rest of the people saw that it was done, they also followed inside, but they didn't want the girls to be stopped.
Shang Ling: "Hey, hey! What for? ”
"Master Ke, you and this son can go in, these girls can't get in."
Shang Ling: "Why can't they go in?" This is the person I brought, why are you stopping them?! ”
"Master Ke, you also know what kind of place this is, and it's really not suitable for these girls to go in."
Shang Ling: "What's inappropriate?" Didn't you say that you can get in by paying a high amount of silver? Do you think I don't have anything? ”
"No, no, you misunderstood. This...... We really don't allow women to enter here, this is the rule, please be considerate of us. ”
"I'm ......" Shang Ling was interrupted by Yu Cihe before he finished speaking, "Since it's a rule, it's not easy to break, so let's just go in." ”
The man hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, girl, for your understanding."
Xuan Zhuyi: "Then where are you going?"
Ouyang Ruolin: "Go around and see if there are any new clues."
Mu Zhixi suddenly asked Gui Gong, "Can I ask you something?"
"Girl, you say."
Mu Zhixi: "Do you know Hu Xiaoxi?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "It seems that it used to be one of the four beauties we had here!"
Mu Zhixi: "Is it Miss Qin?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's Jean Girl! ”
Mu Jinggong: "Then do you remember what she looks like?"
The man looked Mu Jinggong up and down, and then immediately replied, "I forgot."
Mu Jinggong gave Xuan Zhuyi a look, and Xuan Zhuyi nodded secretly.
Mu Zhixi: "Then let's go first!" When Shen Shi was around, he would have looked for us on the other side of the forest. ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Well, I see." A few people broke up on this spot.
—— —— ——
The two of them went up to the second floor, and the two called the old bustard who was in charge, and while waiting for them, Shang Ling secretly asked Xuan Zhuyi: "Senior Brother Xuan, seriously, have you been to this place?"
Xuan Zhuyi: "No! Definitely haven't been here! ”
Shang Ling: "Really?"
Xuan Zhuyi: "Really! I...... What am I, a monastic, doing in a place like this? ”
Shang Ling: "A cultivator? What about before you went to Lingsenkaku? ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Before? Not before! ”
Shang Ling: "No, no, why are you blushing?"
Xuan Zhuyi: "Face ...... Blush? What am I blushing for? How can I blush?! ”
Shang Ling: "It's not easy to speak, who can you fool like this?"
Xuan Zhuyi countered: "Then have you been here?"
This sudden change suddenly stopped Shang Ling, and he also said the same as Xuan Zhuyi: "No! Definitely haven't been here! ”
Xuan Zhuyi smiled: "Hey? Why did you learn to speak with me? ”
Shang Ling pushed him and said, "Oops! What to learn? Senior Brother Xuan, are you serious, okay? ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Hey, hey, hey!" Who was the first to be indecent? ”
As he spoke, someone came. As soon as they pushed the door, Xuan Zhuyi and Shang Ling smelled a strong smell of fat powder, and the two of them glanced at each other, and looked at the person with a smiling expression. This man looked older, and he didn't know how much fat powder he had on his face, but it smelled so strong.
"Hey~ Two guest masters, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Xuan Zhuyi: "It's okay, it's not very long."
"Two guest masters, what do you have to say, just say it."
Shang Ling: "It's nothing, can you chat with us here?"
"Oh, this guest master, you are really joking. I have a lot of things on hand, I really can't chat with the two of you~ We have all kinds of girls, otherwise I asked them to accompany you to relieve your boredom? ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Okay, even if there is something, we can't stay." I'm sorry to find a girl who is older here. ”
"Gotta ~ two guest masters, you later, she will come."
The two nodded silently, watching the man with heavy makeup leave. As soon as she went out, the two of them began to gasp for air.
Shang Ling: "What does this smell like!" So rushed! ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "If you want to come to this kind of place, it's all like this."
Shang Ling: "Huh? Is it because all the girls in this world smell so strong? ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Naturally not! I'm afraid you forgot about your junior sisters, right? ”
Shang Ling: "They are all cultivating with us in Lingxian Pavilion, so they are naturally different from this earthly woman."
Xuan Zhuyi asked tentatively, "Then do you like the beauty of the earthly world, or do you like the beauty of cultivation?"
Shang Ling replied without hesitation, "Nature is the beauty of cultivation!" Xuan Zhuyi listened to the answer, nodded silently, and an indescribable smile appeared on his face. After a while, Shang Ling seemed to react to something, glared at Xuan Zhuyi and said, "Oh~ You test me?" Senior Brother Xuan, you are not righteous! ”
Xuan Zhuyi didn't hide it at all: "Okay, okay, I won't tell them."
"What else do you want to tell them?" Shang Ling retorted, "Senior Brother Xuan~ Don't think I don't know who you have in mind~"
Xuan Zhuyi really got on the trap, and cautiously asked Shang Ling, "What do you think?" I'm a big brother, what can I think? It's not about helping Senior Sister Zhixi find the real culprit, take revenge, and help you find the two people you should find. ”
Shang Ling: "Oh? Really? What about Ruolin? ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Ruolin? What's the matter with Guan Ruolin? ”
Shang Ling: "This is a big deal! Maybe she will become our sister-in-law in the future~"
"Big big ...... Sister-in-law? Xuan Zhuyi's face turned red as soon as he spoke, and even his speech became stammering. Shang Ling stopped teasing him, poured a cup of tea and drank it to himself. There was a sound of footsteps, and a moment later, a younger, fresher woman pushed the door open. When they looked over, they knew that they had been deceived by the old goblin, but they didn't say much, and beckoned the girl to come and sit down with them. The girl looked like she had just arrived, and you could tell from her expression that she was very nervous. Xuan Zhuyi and Shang Ling looked at each other and made eye contact.
Xuan Zhuyi: "What's going on?" She lied to us! ”
Shang Ling: "That old goblin! If it weren't for the fact that I had something important to do now, I wouldn't have been able to tear down her place! ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Let's not talk about this for now, I see that girl seems to have just arrived, and she is very nervous, what do you think we should say?"
Shang Ling: "I haven't been here either!" How do I know what to say? ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Think about it, think about it!" Hurry up, hurry up! I watched her so uncomfortable, and now it made me feel as if I had done something terrible, as if I was going to do something bad to this little girl! ”
Shang Ling rolled his eyes: "Who knows if you think like that?"
Xuan Zhuyi: "You! Hurry up and think about it! ”
Shang Ling pursed his lips, finally ended this period of eye contact, turned to the girl next to him, and asked softly, "Girl, what's your name?"
The girl replied tremblingly, "I...... My name is Lan Su. ”
Shang Ling: "Oh, Miss Lan, you don't have to be nervous, we are not bad people, and we won't do anything to you." I just want to talk to you, so you don't have to be nervous. ”
"Good...... Good. Although Lan Su said this on the surface, she still looked very nervous.
Shang Ling didn't care to appease Lan Su's mood, and directly opened the topic.
Shang Ling: "How long has Miss Lan Su been here?"
Lan Su: "It didn't take long, it's only been a month since I first came."
Shang Ling: "What do you think of this place?" I mean human. ”
Lan Su: "Most of the people who can come here are people who are just as hard-working as me, and they feel okay after getting along." However, in order to live here, you have to work hard. ”
Shang Ling: "Why do you have to bother?"
Lan Su: "Everyone has their own ideas, and there is a good life here." But only the top brand can get that kind of life, and everyone else is just looking at the face. ”
Shang Ling: "What about you?"
Lan Su: "I...... When I first arrived, I didn't know a lot of the rules, so I had to let others do it. ”
Shang Ling: "Who is the number one in your place now?"
Lan Su: "Our current number one here is Miss Lin Xiaoguan."
Shang Ling: "Guan? When it's a smile. She must look good when she smiles, right? ”
Lan Su: "Yes, people say that Miss Xiaoguan looks the best when she laughs." When she said this, Lan Su couldn't help laughing, as if Lin Xiaowan's smile now appeared in her mind.
Xuan Zhuyi interrupted: "Have you ever had any very famous girls here before?"
Lan Su thought for a while and said, "Yes, I heard that many years ago, we still had the four beauties of the capital here!"
Xuan Zhuyi and Shang Ling looked at each other and smiled, and finally, they got to the point, and it was not in vain for the two of them to come here.
Shang Ling: "Four beauties? Can you tell us about what these four beauties are like? ”
Lan Su: "Although I have just come here, the mouths of people in this place are also broken, and I know a lot from listening to it."
Shang Ling: "I would like to hear about it."
Lan Su: "These four beauties are the four girls of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they are graceful and have extraordinary skills. Although he is in this land of fireworks, he is a graceful and elegant person, and he is not polluted by this place at all. ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Do you know the real names of these girls?"
Lan Su: "This ...... I don't remember exactly, but I can only vaguely say it. The Qin girl seems to be called Hu Xiaowei, the chess girl is Qi Yuntian, the book girl is called Su Mo, and the painting girl seems to be Jin Zhihua. Because they became famous because of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not many people remember their original names. ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "How much do you know about this piano girl Hu Xiaowei?"
Lan Su: "Speaking of Miss Qin, according to my meaning, she can be said to be the first beauty in the capital. Not only is she virtuosic at the piano, but her writing is also the best among many women, even many men can't compare to her. ”
Shang Ling smiled: "She's so talented, there should be many suitors, right?"
Unexpectedly, Lan Su denied it: "There are many suitors, but they are all ghosts. However, she has a close friend. ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Such a talented person has only one friend?" Are the people in this capital all superficial people who only look at their identities? ”
Lan Su: "I can't say that, Miss Qin only has one friend because she only knows that one friend."
Shang Ling: "Only that one friend?" What does this mean? ”
Lan Su: "The Qin girl is beautiful and talented, so naturally she is admired by many sons. Some of them wanted to see the beauty of the piano girl, and some of them really wanted to be friends with the girl. Who is Miss Koqin? If she recognizes her friends casually, won't Miss Qin become that casual person? ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "That Qin girl's only friend should be the best among the many sons, right?"
Lan Su: "That kind of appearance is really the best among the sons, and the literary talent should not be inferior, but this background is not as noble as other sons."
Shang Ling: "Which son can win the favor of Miss Qin?"
Lan Su: "Hmm...... I heard that it seems to be surnamed Han, named Mu Lang, and the character book. ”
