One hundred and ninety-three, bamboo sound
The two of them talked about the current chaotic form of Kyoto for a while, most of them were Xiao Jingchen who opened and smashed the pros and cons inside, and the huge potential power benefits were tied with her, once the son of heaven and a courtier, once he gained power, they would be the founding heroes, and they would be glorious.
Lin Chaoge listened mostly silently, and from time to time pointed out the points and jokes sharply, if he really didn't take the first one of them at that time, thank God, not to mention a clichΓ©, the most ruthless emperor's family.
Although there is no promise at the moment, there is no refusal, smart people should know that at this juncture at the moment, they will die quickly by pretending to be clear, why not step into the muddy water left and right, and the more chaotic it is, is her ultimate goal.
"At the moment, the most promising place to win the throne is the main hall, why Lin Gongzi hesitated and was unwilling to recruit the curtain, because he didn't trust the main hall." Xiao Jingchen's sticky gaze looked at Lin Chaoge up and down and was particularly uncomfortable, like a toad's saliva wrapping around his body, and the smell was evil.
"His Royal Highness is a genius, and he has not been afraid of the status of the grass people many times, and it is too late for the grass people to admire, but I still hope that the third highness will give the grass people another period of thought, and the grass people are really a little too afraid." Lin Chaoge lowered his head and stared at the tip of his shoe, so that people couldn't see what her expression was, whether it was as sincere as her tone, really.
They are all foxes who have cultivated for thousands of years, and that little bit of Taoism is just a mutual test, and the comparison is who is one foot taller than the devil and one foot taller.
Emperor Beichen is fifty-six years old, Lin Chaoge can't figure out who poisoned him, or the chronic poison over the years, the poison of his heart, but in the end it is not to make a wedding dress for others, ridiculous and stupid, except for the unintentional throne and the few princes who died, the remaining princes are not easy to think with, the second prince Xiaojing is ambitious, a martial artist with no ink on his chest, and a fool whose ambition is displayed on his face, for fear of Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by don't know, no wonder the new emperor is the first to open his mouth to him.
The young sixth prince Xiao Jingmo, the son of today's most favored concubine, has been vacant for many years, and the mother's family is quite powerful, and she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child.
In front of him, with her hypocrisy and grievances, a pair of corporal Lixian intersected with the old fox three princes Xiao Jingchen, from a humble background, is the product of Emperor Beichen's overnight romance, the biological mother is the most inferior palace maid, if nothing happens, it is not the most likely to win a high position, the joy is not colorful, good at figuring out people's hearts and making use of it, but unfortunately it is also a short man who is tall, who knows that he will kill the son of a former queen in the sky, it is inevitable to be upset.
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Chaoge did not go back to the palace directly, but asked for a pot of tea in a small teahouse, and sat quietly for a long time with a little pastry, waiting for the sunset to sink and the afterglow of the sunset to dissipate.
Only then did he get up and came to the newly famous Xuanyu Tower in Luoyang, and the people who followed closely in the dark only hesitated slightly, and only when they followed outside the building were unwilling to leave.
There are only two red lanterns hanging outside, a pair of happy/celebrated/red couplets, the dark door is half-hidden and only reveals a little light inside, and there is no girl like other lights in front of the building to arrange a few pink gauze skirt chairs and windows to pick up guests, you come and go, it is very clean, so clean that it is not like the place of fireworks at all, but the location is actually located in the place of fireworks.
As soon as I entered the door, I stepped into the second door, and I saw a bright woman in a red dress sitting quietly/stage/front with the bead plate rattling, and when I saw someone coming in, I didn't raise my head, and asked directly; "Sharpen or eat".
"Start with five hundred pieces of silver, and eat one hundred taels."
"Eat by yourself." Lin Chaoge took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and put it in front of the woman lightly, and said softly: "That's enough."
"Enough is enough, enough is enough, son, please." Only then did the guard/platform/woman raise her head and glance at Lin Chaoge quickly, then handed over a wooden card, and threw a coquettish look; "Childe has to take it well, don't lose it."
Lin Chaoge thanked the woman at the front desk and said goodbye, walked through a dark path, pushed the door in, and a neat white man in white felt hat stepped forward and said, "Do you want a private room or a lobby?" β
Lin Chaoge took a look at the decoration after holding his hands, spinning is the Wei and Jin Tang Dynasty style, the platform is small, Meilan drawings can be seen everywhere, there are many literati in the middle of the hall to make Danqing ink treasures with their whims, which are precious, most of the furniture used is pineapple wood, elegant and chic, there are no girls shuttling back and forth in the hall, and there are screens in the lobby, and laughter is faintly heard.
Lin Chaoge casually swept around the hall, holding a wooden plaque in his hand; "Give me a private room."
Xiao Er led her into the elegant seat on the second floor, handed over the gilded hairpin flowers, and gracefully looked at the recipe, Lin Chaoge glanced at it; "You recommend me a few dishes, it's my first time here, and I don't know what is good here."
Xiao Er said with a smile, "The little one will first give the guest officer a few plates of cold dishes, and then a few good things for the guest officer to taste, and how about the wine will be served to the guest officer?" β
Lin Chaoge said with an indifferent face; "You look at it, I heard that you have a song here?"
Xiao Er said with a smile; "Yes, I don't know if the guest officer likes to listen to music or sing music, and wants a girl or a son to accompany him?"
Lin Chaoge sighed secretly in his heart, his face was not obvious, his eyes drifted over the yellow rosewood couch with carved beasts and beads and jade, thinking that it must be very comfortable to lie there, and secretly thought in his heart, what a thoughtful service! β
After a long silence, he said; "I listen to music and call me a handsome son."
Xiao Er neatly went down and ordered, and after a while, a few cold dishes came first, rouge boneless chicken Zhongbao, hibiscus crystal crab dumplings, white cut chicken with dipping sauce, rose pickled melon, flame hoarfrost, not many things, small and chic shape. Lin Chaoge tried them one by one, and it was really delicious.
After another stick of incense, there was a soft knock on the door, and it stopped after three clicks. Only then did Lin Chao put down the bamboo sign that continued to taste; "Come in."
An elegant man with handsome eyebrows and a slender eyebrow came in with a Zheng Zheng guqin, dressed in a light cyan robe, a plain belt around his waist, hanging a goose-yellow tassel pendant, his hair was black, his face was like a jade crown, his eyebrows were like willows, and his eyes were like the moon.
He bowed slightly to Lin Chaoge, sat down diagonally opposite Lin Chaoge, quietly burned incense and brushed the piano, and said in a low voice; "Do you like any tunes?" The voice is also very light and pleasant, giving people a good feeling of inexplicable intimacy.
Lin Chaoge thought for a while, lightly buttoned the table and said with fascinated eyes: "I don't have any special hobbies, let's play what you're good at." β
After a slight pause, the crisp sound of the piano came out of the man's hand, and his fingers were slender and beautiful, and at first glance they were born for playing the piano.
Lin Chaoge appreciated for the first time what is called the sound of a jade-like piano, the food just now has made her very satisfied, this piano sound amazed her, no wonder so many people like to live a luxurious life.
Although money can't solve her troubles, it can solve 99% of her troubles.
A song is ready, hot dishes are served, steamed lion's head, shrimp fried reed, bacon steamed Qibao duck, pear elbow plus a fruit soup, and a basket of pink peach blossom snacks.
The lion's head is packed in a lotus jasper cup, one is one, and one dish is only four to make a plate, Lin Chaoge gently dug it with a spoon, the entrance is soft and sweet, and it slides down the throat directly, which is very delicious.
She tasted the dishes one by one, each with its own characteristics, not to mention the beauty in front of her, even this dish is worth eating once. When she tasted them one by one, the song of the warbler like Yaochi began again.
The man in front of him had quite good eyes, and he waited for Lin Chaoge to eat a round before he began to continue playing. Lin Chaoge felt that this was really enjoyable, no wonder the luxury was excessive, she only ate a few good dishes and listened to two good songs, she was already very satisfied, and she almost didn't lie down on the small collapse and fall asleep.
After listening to the man play the piano, the lid of the cup gently plucked the tea leaves floating on the tender yellow tea water and stretched the branches, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask what the son is called?" β
The man bowed his head and said; "Don't dare to take the name of the son, just call me Zhuyin."
Lin Chaoge was stunned for a moment, Zhuyin's name was a stage name as soon as she heard it, and she couldn't say anything, so she continued; "Then I don't know if you can come over and have a drink? I can't finish all these dishes. The pusher said that she really couldn't eat so many dishes, and she didn't think about anything else, not to mention that her color was good and her eyes were clear, which was easy to make people feel good.
The man still bowed his head; "The bamboo sound is rough, and it may disturb the guest officer's Yaxing."
Lin Chaoge smiled; "You're thinking too much, the piano sounds beautiful, you play very well, inviting you to have a drink is just to express your gratitude, and nothing else."
The man thanked her again before he came over and sat down at the bottom. Lin Chaoge made people add a new cup. Personally poured him a glass of wine.
"I'll replace wine with tea."
The two didn't chat, they just drank and ate food silently, the man didn't pick up the dishes, Lin Chaoge sandwiched the dishes in the empty plate in front of him, and he ate whatever she sandwiched. The plates in front of me are always clean, and the appearance of eating is also quiet.
Lin Chaoge didn't speak, half of the fish, half of the lion's head, half of the dim sum, and the last table of dishes was eaten, she squinted her eyes with satisfaction for a while, and asked, "Are you full, do you hold on?" β
Then she was a little surprised, as if she was serving for the first time, and she would be ...... when the day was free.
The man's cheeks flushed slightly, and he nodded and shook his head slightly.
He had never met a guest like Lin Chaoge, and he was invited to accompany him to dinner. Without much words or hands, each dish was divided in half, and then the plates on the table were empty, and there was no waste.
