Chapter 4: Determining the High Cabinet (1)
"Get off the car, Brother An!"
Li Kui pulled Song An's thoughts from memory to reality with a single voice.
The carriage stopped in front of a second-story inn.
The shopkeeper stepped forward warmly and greeted: "The four guest officers, please!" β
Yan Qing casually threw one or two pieces of silver to Xiao Er: "I want four rooms upstairs facing the street, and you can serve the wine and food casually according to this silver, and send me to the house!" β
One tael of silver could buy more than 800 catties of rice in the Song Dynasty, which was enough for a family of four for a month's daily expenses. Even if you stay in an inn in Tokyo, the capital, it only costs fifteen yuan. After the shopkeeper bit the silver on his teeth and confirmed that it was real silver, he hurriedly opened four frontage rooms upstairs according to Yan Qing's request.
When I opened the window, I was greeted by a large courtyard across the street.
Song An counted, this is a nine-entry compound.
"Is this the Imperial Palace?" He couldn't help but sigh.
"The palace is far away from here, this is Gao Yu's home." Yanqing Road.
Song An looked at the gatehouse at the front of the Jiujin compound, and sure enough, there was a plaque of "Gaofu" hanging on the gatehouse, with a thin gold body, which seemed to be given to him by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong.
"Gao Yanei, the son of Gao Yu, went to Goolan Washe as soon as it was dark, and then we thought of tying him up, and then tortured him about the movements of the court from his mouth."
Although Yan Qing is only twenty-four years old this year, her style of speaking and doing things looks much older and more stable than Li Kui and Dai Zong, who are in their thirties.
"That's Gao Yanei!"
I saw a richly dressed and rogue swinger brother walking out of the gate of Gaofu surrounded by twenty guards.
Dai Zong said worriedly: "This guy goes out with so many guards during the day, won't he bring more at night?" So how do we start! β
Yan Qing frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
"I have a solution." Song An Chengzhu said in his chest.
"What's the solution?"
"Isn't Gao Yanei a prostitute, let's have a beauty plan!"
"Beauty Trick?!"
β¦β¦
The dishes of the Song Dynasty are very delicious, whether it is beef, pork, mutton or those vegetarian dishes and noodles, the taste is much stronger than the food of the 21st century, it is estimated that there is no gutter oil, clenbuterol, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and contraceptives in the raw materials.
The wine is average.
The book says that all the heroes of Liangshan are wine baskets, and they drink dozens of bowls at every turn.
But when he poured the wine into the bowl and tasted it, Song An was immediately happy, daring to love that the ancient wine was brewed by fermentation, and the degree was at most seven or eight degrees similar to beer, no wonder they could drink it so much.
Song An ate and drank a mouthful of wine and meat, and he didn't realize that he had drunk more than 30 bowls!
After the meal, Yan Qing asked Song An and them to rest in the inn first, and he went to the street by himself.
Two quarters of an hour later he returned with a cloth bag containing two sets of women's clothes, hairpins, and seven or eight boxes of fat powder.
Li Kui curiously took out a set of clothes and gestured on himself: "Look at how this dress is worn on my iron bull!" β
Yan Qing said: "It's so beautiful! Brother Tie Niu, why don't you put on this dress and look like a woman to seduce Gao Yanei! That guy will fall under your pomegranate skirt! β
Li Kui happily ran to the bronze mirror to look, and after only one glance, he threw his clothes back on the table: "Brother Xiaoyi, you take my iron ox to open the shabu, just like this to seduce Gao Yanei, and the birds will not run away from me!" β
"Brother Xiaoan, let's quickly pick up and dress up."
Song An was a little difficult, but the clothes were easy to change into, but he couldn't even name the things in these fat powder boxes, how could he draw them on his face? You can't mess with the whole big face!
Yan Qing saw Song An's embarrassment, so she smiled and said, "I'll help you draw!" β
"Uncle Xiao Yi can also paint makeup?"
"In the past, when I came to Tokyo to ask for help from Master Li for Zhao'an, she asked me to groom her, and I said no, so she taught me. I've groomed her a few times, and I still remember it. β
As soon as Yan Qing said this, Song An suddenly became interested, and almost forgot about it, Dongshang Jing is not only Wenqing Dujun Zhao Ji and Gao Yu, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, Yang Jian's four traitors, but also a world-class beauty Li Shishi!
Who is Master Li?
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, he went to Beijing as a famous prostitute and had countless fans.
Among them, the hardcore fans include Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji, great talents and great poets Qin Guan, Yan Jidao, Zhang Xian, Zhou Bangyan, etc., all of whom are celebrities.
There are two kinds of women, courtesans and prostitutes.
Courtesans sell their arts, and prostitutes sell themselves.
Master Li belongs to the courtesans, and in principle, he only sells his art and does not sell his body. As for whether she sells her body behind her back, there is no way to know.
I remember that the book said that Master Li and Yan Qing still have a story!
"Uncle Xiaoyi, what does Master Li look like?"
Although Yan Qing is only seven years older than Song An, Yan Qing is the brother of his father's one hundred and eight generals, and he has to be called uncle no matter how senior.
Yan Qing thought for a while: "Xi Shi Shenyu, Zhaojun Falling Goose, Diao Chan Closing the Moon, Yuhuan Shy Flower, if you add up the posture of these four people, you will have the beauty of Master Li." β
Is there such a beauty in the world?
Yan Qing said that he wanted to see Master Li immediately, who was sacred.
But at the moment, there are important things to do, so let's get down to business.
"Here's lead powder, here's lip grease, here's eyebrow, here's rouge......"
Song An changed into women's clothes and sat in front of the bronze mirror, Yan Qing pointed to the open fat powder boxes one by one to introduce Song An.
Song An looked at his seventeen-year-old body in the mirror: he was not handsome, but his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his height of seven or eight meters was okay.
But compared to Yan Qing, who combed her hair and bunned herself behind her, it was worse.
Yan Qing is very handsome, 1.86 meters tall, tall and thin, a little fresh meat.
Yan Qing combed Song An with a "double bun" hairstyle, which in the Song Dynasty and "snail bun" were the hallmarks of unmarried women.
Later, Yan Qing put lead powder on his face in turn, smeared rouge, painted Dai eyebrows, painted Dai eyebrows, appliquΓ©s, dotted paintings, painted oblique red, and applied lip grease.
This whole set of procedures took nearly half an hour, and Song An fell asleep in a chair.
When Yan Qing patted him on the shoulder to wake him up, he looked at himself in the mirror and laughed loudly, becoming a costume Lori girl!
Yan Qing then spent about the same time dressing himself up, he combed the "snail bun", and after picking it up, he seemed to be a two-dimensional cute girl.
Dai Zong said: "Don't talk about Gao Yanei, it's just that I see you all want to go up and touch it now!" β
"Have you written down all the three uncles I confessed?"
"Written down!"
"Let's demonstrate it ourselves!"
β¦β¦
The night market arose in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, after more than 100 years of development, to the Huizong period, the Goolan Washe in the east of the capital has been noisy all night long.
As soon as it was dark, Gao Yanai went out surrounded by thirty guards.
Song An on the upper floor of the inn on the opposite side could see it clearly.
"Keep up with him!"
