Chapter 13 Spend money and spend it happily
As the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty and now a veritable seat of government, Luoyang is now more lively and prosperous than Chang'an. Restaurants and wine shops are gathered in the neighborhood, merchants from the Western Regions abound, and the orchids who are exposed in their clothes and rotate at the door to attract guests are the most beautiful scenery in Luoyang.
Li Xian now shuttles between the imperial city and the lively street market every day, but his interest in watching the excitement has long faded. Ever since he sent himself to the door to be Li Ji's apprentice, he has been trained to death all day long, and he can't wait to sleep when he goes back. And the most unfortunate thing is that he found a master who is proficient in using axes to teach Bohu to practice axes in Li Zhai, but Cheng Bohu pulled him and Li Jingye as sparring partners whenever he practiced a little way, and he was so tired that he complained bitterly.
"Don't practice anymore!"
After being swept by Cheng Bohu for the eighth time, and the sword in his hand also flew, he simply lay on the ground and was too lazy to get up, and his muscles ached for a while. And Li Jingye next to him also sat on the ground and gasped for breath, he couldn't help grinning when he looked at it.
Li Xian can still be deduced that he is young and not strong enough if he loses, but Li Jingye is miserable. Li Jingye is two years older than Cheng Bohu, at the beginning, he could beat Li Xian and Cheng Bohu, but now he can only fight Cheng Bohu with Li Xian depressedly, and he loses all day long, the most depressing thing in the world is nothing more than this.
Although Cheng Bohu is honest, he is never ambiguous when he wins or loses, and laughs at this time: "I won again, and today is still a treat for you as a dedicated brother!" ”
Proud and arrogant, villainous face! scolded and scolded in his heart, but Li Xian still secretly had fun, anyway, it was not him who invited him, and it was Li Jingye who was the most wronged. Today's hospitality ratio is basically like this: Li Jingye invited seven times out of ten, Cheng Bohu twice, and he once.
He is young, his martial arts are not good, and he can rely on it with a random excuse. It's true that he is rich, but when he uses money more in the future, he has to break it in half and spend it!
Cheng Bohu has been practicing the axe for several years, not to mention his big shoulders and round waist, and his height is even taller than Li Jingye, and his skills in this hand are also bullish all the way. I heard that now Cheng Chumo, the father of the Cheng family, can't stop his son, and he has complained to Li Ji a lot, and by the way, he has given a lot of thank-you gifts. Every time I think of this, Li Xian is a little depressed, if you want to give a thank you gift, it should be given to him, if it weren't for the three-plate axe that I said back then, your son could learn the plate axe?
"Xian'er, are you tired?"
There was an extra soft and moist hand towel on his head, Li Xian opened his eyes and glanced at it, and saw that it was Helan Yanqiao standing there with a smile, so he quickly moved his position. He has been practicing here for a few years in Li Ji, and Helan Yan has been following him for a few years, not to mention anything else, this intention is by no means ordinary. Of course, the little girl was not idle, and she was rumored to have a double-strand sword, and the dance was quite a bit of a sword dance. If this development continues, the title of the famous Gongsun Auntie in the world of sword dance in the future will probably not exist.
"Rokuro is really enviable!"
Cheng Bohu, who won a big victory, saw that Li Xian was accompanied by a beautiful woman, and immediately raised his eyebrows with envy, and quietly exchanged a look with Li Jingye: "Jingye just said that he was going to see the music and dance of Qiuzi Orchid tonight, since you have Helan, you don't have to go, right?" ”
Li Xian didn't know that the two of them deliberately manipulated him, glared at Cheng Bohu and Li Jingye fiercely, and then winked at Helan Yan beside him: "Yan'er, do you say we want to go?" ”
"Go, why don't you go if someone has a treat! Not only do you want to go, but you also have to spend money to bankrupt his family, Xian'er, are you right? ”
Helan Yan, who has passed the age of Jilu, has already been slim and delicate, but no one dares to provoke her in this Li Mansion except for Li Xian. Cheng Bohu and Li Jingye had enough of Helan Yan's suffering, and now they had to ask for mercy again and again, until she hurriedly went out to wash the veil, Li Jingye gritted his teeth and said: "Liulang, I really don't know what is good about you, let Helan die for you!" ”
It's useless to be envious, sir, I have my own magical powers!
Since he wanted to see the music and dance of Orchid, Li Jingye suggested going to the Ankang Building adjacent to Luoshui. Although Li Xian had eaten and drunk with Li Jingye and Cheng Bohu before, he had never been to this kind of place, let alone Helan Yan. Although he is a little weak-hearted, but thinking that Li Jingye said that there are also people who are drunk and singing in the orchid wine shop among the ministers nowadays, then there is nothing shocking for him to appear, anyway, few people know him.
There are a lot of orchid dancers, but there are not many people who bring their own daughters together to appreciate, and the four of them took a group of entourages to sit in the Ankang Building, which immediately attracted countless eyes, and most of them were peeking at Helan Yan, and even the orchids who were spinning in the field and had a slender waist but dancing posture were a little less concerned.
Helan Yan also appeared on such an occasion for the first time, although she was usually fierce, but she was a little overwhelmed in front of everyone, and after sitting for a while, she whispered in Li Xian's ear: "Xian'er, what do they see me doing?" ”
"That's because you're so beautiful, and you're better than everyone else!"
"Okay, you're making fun of me!"
The soft flesh on his waist was pinched, and Li Xian couldn't help but grin, but his heart was very comfortable. In the past two years, Li Zhi has been guilty of wind vertigo, so his affair with Mrs. Han has gradually faded, and he has no heart to turn his attention to Helan Yan. It's just that taking advantage of Li Zhi's poor health, his fierce mother, Empress Wu, finally began to meddle in political affairs. Distressed, what should he do so that he will not lose his life in the future?
It must be said that the orchids in the field are indeed young and beautiful, fifteen or sixteen years old are in the age of flowering, with long brown hair with slightly curly, honey-colored skin, and light blue eyes, all exuding an alluring exotic style. The melodious ringing of the bells on each other during the whirlwind, as well as the soft belt floating in the air, add a bit of excitement to the music and dance. Of course, for the evil ghosts in the color, the beautiful scenery under that layer of clothing is the most eye-catching.
Li Xian grew up watching European and American TV on TV, although this orchid is moving, but the most eye-catching exotic style does not exist in his opinion, so he only feels that the dance is really difficult level, although his eyes have been watching, he is biting his ears more vigorously with Helan Yan next to him.
At the end of the song, cheers suddenly sounded all around, and even good deeds took out copper coins directly from their bags and smashed them. For a while, I only listened to the tinkling of copper coins in the field, and those with rich wealth directly offered red silk and other property. And after Cheng Bohu drank three bowls of wine in a row, he praised three good words with drunkenness. His voice was already loud, but at this time, it became louder and louder, and immediately suppressed all the other applause and discussions in the audience.
Seeing this, Li Xian immediately coaxed, and Helan Yan relied on Li Xian for everything, and then shouted at the same time. Stimulated by the attention of the surroundings, Li Jingye's head was hot, and his shot was a barefoot gold, and when he saw that others were smacking their tongues again and again, the orchid was overjoyed, and immediately came up to salute and pour wine.
Li Jingye raised his hand to signal to respect Li Xian first, Li Xian would not refuse, and took it and raised his head to drink. As for Cheng Bohu, he originally wanted to grab the second one, but he couldn't resist Helan Yan, so he had to admit the third. Just as Li Jingye poured the wine in the cup into his mouth, someone next to him did not follow.
"I'll also give fifty taels of gold, let her come over and accompany me with wine!"
