In the twilight, the flutes, drums, sheng cymbals, and the Maiko are bewitching and dazzling, and the three floats are parked under the "Mingyu Building" of the Sanqufang in Xuanzhou, the place of fireworks.

"Mingyulou" is the most famous brothel of the song house in Sanqufang, the building is exquisite, the courtyard is deep, the dancing girls and courtesans inside, the servants and maids are basically Fujian, it is the son of Lianchang who sent people from Quanzhou and Zhangzhou to bring one after another, one by one beautiful appearance, can sing and dance, "Mingyulou" ordinary prostitutes are not less than ten taels of silver for a night, it is the famous "gold cave" in Xuanzhou, the most desirable place for celebrities and giants to seek pleasure.

Xiahou tassel as the "Ming Yu Lou" the most valuable prostitute, usually accompany the guests to sing and poetry, a game of Go, play a song of the piano, that is a hundred taels of entanglement, and wait for leisure is rare to see, it is a big name, at the beginning of last month, there was a Shezhou tea merchant out of ten thousand gold to comb her, but failed to do so, Xiahou tassel of the voice of the glamorous voice from this greatly inspired, in the South Lake flower viewing party won the Xuanzhou Oiran in one fell swoop.

Xuanzhou scholars for a pro-Oiran Fangze, one by one pick the lamp to read hard, carefully prepare a number of poems, dream in the cherishing spring poetry will be the champion, but the poetry and the deputy to the end but by two strangers obtained, Jinling salt merchant Zhou Xuanzhi will go to Wushan with the Oiran, although there are many jealous and abusive, but most of the scholars are inexplicably happy, anyway, they know that they are not capable of fighting for the poet, see Lian Chang Gongzi, Hu Yang, these usually high-spirited, conceited poets are all "Xie Guanlou", the heart is secretly happy, Let the outlanders get better, so that everyone is fair, haha!

The three idiots repeatedly asked Zhou Xuan to take the emperor's secret decree first. Don't set foot in Pingkang Qufang, Zhou Xuan said in a low voice: "If I get out of the car and leave now, how can Miss Xiahou be embarrassed?" ”

Yes, if Zhou Xuan doesn't enter the door, then Xiahou's tasseled face will be lost, and Oiran will become a laughing stock, how can Zhou Qicha Gongzi do such a ruthless thing?

Zhou Xuan said: "I'll go up and sit for a while, listen to the music and leave." ”

Xiahou Tassel thought to himself: "Is this Xinzhou Marquis really so kind? I used to look at me unscrupulously on Xie Wei's upstairs, why do you have to sit still now? Is the beauty of my Xiahou tassel not enough to seduce him? ”

Thinking about it like this, Xiahou Tassel became competitive. She didn't believe that Zhou Xuan could not be moved by her.

The red felt is paved on the ground, the gongs and drums are noisy, the festive atmosphere seems to be a marriage, and the two little maids came to help Zhou Xuan and Xiahou tassels get off. Zhou Xuan said: "I don't need to help. "Jump off the float in a flash.

Onlookers burst into laughter.

The three idiots followed Zhou Xuan into the "Ming Jade Building", Xiahou Tassel's residence is an independent small courtyard, and a jade shed lamp is hung at the head of the door, which shines as bright as day, and the courtyard is full of frangipani. It seems that Xiahou tassel prefers this flower.

The little maid lifted the spotted bamboo curtain, first asked Zhou Xuan to sit down in the wing hall, only to see a rhino skin incense table in the hall, a bronze incense burner is spewing incense finely, four landscape paintings are hung on the wall, and there are four rosewood chairs, all of which are extremely exquisite.

Zhou Xuan sat down, and the little maid brought tea. Zhou Xuan sniffed and asked, "Who made this tea?" ”

The little maid replied: "It was cooked by Aunt Liu, and the guests all said that Aunt Liu's tea was good." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It's not bad, it's a little older." The tea marks are too obvious, this kind of yellow flower cloud tip should not be fried with bamboo drainage, Jixi water is better, if there is water from the spring, it is even better. ”

The little maid said: "Gongzi Zhou is good at tea ceremony, I'll go tell Aunt Liu." "Broken steps went.

Xiahou tassel saw that Zhou Xuan thought the tea was not good. It's not good to serve tea. She is also a novice. She hadn't practiced the Qinglou woman's sneering and dissolute and eight-sided exquisiteness, and Zhou Xuan was the prey she wanted to assassinate, so it was even more jerky.

Footsteps sounded, the little maid came in with a woman in her thirties to lift the curtain, and the woman announced Wanfu to Zhou: "The little woman meets the son, the son is a tea artist, this tea is indeed boiled a little older, it has been used to use Jixi water, yesterday the water truck overturned on the road, had to be replaced by bamboo drainage, other guests can not distinguish, the son sniffed and knew, the taste is clear, the little woman has never heard of." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "That's Zhou picky, Aunt Liu, please." Holding the teacup to greet Xiahou tassels: "Xiahou girl, please drink tea." "Zhou Xuan seems to be the master.

Xiahou Tassel was uneasy, accompanied by a cup of tea, carefully answered Zhou Xuan's question, and after a while, a little maid came over to say that the banquet had been set up, and asked Zhou Gongzi and the tassel girl to move to the night banquet.

In the flower hall of the East Pavilion, a row of long windows is facing the frangipani in the courtyard, and the flowers are pink and white, revealing fragrance in the faint moonlight.

A round table carved from fragrant nan wood, on the table is a jar of Tanxi liquor, eight dishes--- drunken partridge, sand tea stewed duck, mustard chicken shreds, Dongbi dragon ball, chicken mushroom golden bamboo shoots, mushroom stewed whitebait, spicy boiled tofu, cold cucumber, and a dish called "Shih Tzu tongue".

Zhou Xuan asked with interest: "Miss Xiahou, why is this dish called Shih Tzu tongue?" ”

Xiahou tassel said gently: "According to legend, after the king of Yue Goujian destroyed Wu, Mrs. Yue Wangdi was worried that Xi Shi would be favored, so she sent someone to trick Xi Shi to the seaside, and after killing him, he tied a stone to his body and sank to the bottom of the sea. ”

Zhou Xuan borrowed the title to play and said: "The history of Xi Shi destroyed Wu and Fan Li boating on the five lakes, and died at ease, I think the legend of this Xi Shi tongue is more credible, the rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the bird hides the bow, since it is like this, some people work hard for others, but in the end they are killed and killed, I have seen a lot." ”

Xiahou Tassel frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "What does he mean by this, what kind of murder and extermination, what did he perceive?" "But seeing that Zhou Xuan was drinking and eating food very casually, he was unsuspecting, he should have said what he said, but why did it sound so uncomfortable?

At this time, Zhou Xuan knew that Fairy Jingyi usually trained him to taste the benefits of water, and he could distinguish the subtleties of light and tasteless water, so whether there was a peculiar smell in the wine and food was naturally known if he tasted it, and if it was poisoned, it would definitely change the taste, and since Xiahou Tassel had arranged Hu Yang's murder plan with a knife, he would naturally not poison the wine and food.

King Jing's purpose was to let Zhou Xuan die in an accident. It cannot be seen as murder.

The three idiots did not sit at the table, standing behind Zhou Xuan, looking a little lazy, but in fact, the alarm felt that it was very strange, and the movements within a radius of ten zhang were in his ears.

The two maidservants kept persuading him to drink, and Zhou Xuan knew that they wanted to get him drunk, so he said: "Don't persuade you, go out, I only need Miss Xiahou to persuade you to drink, come." Xiahou girl, drink this cup full, fight poetry during the day, fight wine at night, and drink wine with confidants. The poem is chanted to the people, come and come, raise the buttocks, and drink again. ”

Zhou declared that he was elegant and vulgar, and Xiahou's tassel was slightly red. Prevarication said: "Master Zhou, the amount of tassel wine is very shallow, just take a small sip." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "How can this work, the wine is not happy, the spirit is not happy, a person is in the corner, the seat is not happy, you must drink." ”

Xiahou Tassel had no choice but to frown and drink a full glass of Tanxi liquor. Tanxi liquor is strong, and when a cup is down, Xiahou's tassel face is red.

Zhou Xuan persuaded again, but Xiahou Tassel refused to drink. The eyelashes were crooked, and Chu Chu pitifully asked Zhou Gongzi not to be embarrassed.

Zhou Xuan knew that Xiahou Tassel was really shallow, so he had a plan, and said with a smile: "That's it, Miss Xiahou will make a temporary question, and I will write a poem with seven forks." If you can't chant. I will be fined two cups, if Miss Xiahou sees my poems, there is still something to be seen. Just drink a cup to help me get into poetry, how about it? ”

Xiahou Tassel is also a person who loves poetry, and he has also heard the name of Zhou Xuan's seven-pronged hand into poetry, and his heart was pounding when he heard the words, and when he saw Zhou Xuan's eyes staring at her, he couldn't help but be a little flustered, and responded: "Okay." ”

Zhou Xuan was secretly happy, and said in his heart: "Spare you like a ghost, and drink the old lady---- and also drink the buddy's foot washing water." Said with a smile: "Then please ask Miss Xiahou to propose, the poem topic should not be too remote and difficult, otherwise I will talk nonsense when I get drunk." ”

"I want you to get drunk!" Xiahou Tassel thought so in his heart, his eyelashes blinked, and he said: "Just fill in the words with drunkenness----" After thinking about it, he wanted to increase the difficulty, and added: "Not only to write about drunkenness, but also about the wild spring scene." With that, his eyes were staring at Zhou Xuan's hands.

Zhou Xuan Zhou Xuan's palms are wide, his fingers are slender, his fingers are crossed, one fork and two forks, forks and forks, no more and no less seven forks, and said with a smile: "Yes, "Like a Dream Order" ----" and chanted: "I often remember the twilight of Xiting, and I don't know the way back when I am drunk." Returning to the boat at night, he strayed into the depths of the lotus flower. Fighting, fighting, startling a shoal of gulls and herons. ”

Xiahou Tassel was stunned, savoring the context of the words, it was really a wonderful and fresh Xiaoling, and he raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

Zhou Xuan praised: "Miss Xiahou is refreshing, I like it, please ask the question again." ”

Xiahou tassel said: "Please use "Like a Dream Order" as a song card again, and also write drunkenness, this time not to write about the spring scene in the wild, but to write about the spring in the courtyard." ”

Zhou Xuan crossed his hands again, and after seven forks, he said: "Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, and the heavy sleep did not kill the wine. I tried the curtain people, but the begonias were still the same. Did you know? Did you know? It should be green, fat, red and thin. ”

A que is better than a que, dissatisfied with drinking this cup of such a good word, Xiahou tassel drank another cup, his cheeks were like rouge, his eyes were full of water, and his emotions came up, and he said: "If the son can fill a heart with a seven-pronged hand, limit the word card, limit the rhyme, limit the meaning of the word, drink two cups of tassels, if the son can't sing, he will be fined four cups, does the son dare?" ”

Zhou Xuanxin said: "You still know how to add chips, you have the potential to be a gambler." Generously said: "Miss Xiahou, I am out of the way, four cups are four cups, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, I also want to do what I want, please propose, limit rhyme." ”

Xiahou tassel's beautiful eyes flowed, and he said: "The song card of "One Cut Plum", limited to eleven special rhymes, depicts the lovesickness of the woman in the boudoir, and begins to ----."

Zhou Xuan crossed his hands and searched at high speed in his brain: "Eleven You Yun is You, You, Liu, Autumn, and Zhou, these are the rhymes, "One Cut Plum", ---- "One Cut Plum", ---- "Women's Lovesickness----" forked to seven, stopped, and the thick eyebrows were deeply locked.

"Zhou Qicha Gongzi, you can't chant it." Xiahou Tassel was a little drunk, and he actually pointed out Zhou Xuan's true identity, Zhou Xuan now calls himself Zhou Xuanzhi, a salt merchant in Jinling, "Tassel also knows that it is indeed too difficult to fill in such a limited number of words in such a short time, but since it is a gambling poem and wine, then you can't complain about the tassel, son, please drink these four cups." ”

Zhou Xuan's brows furrowed, and he smiled: "I have it." ”

Xiahou Tassel exclaimed: "Gotcha? I wish to hear the great. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The red lotus fragrance remnants of the jade in autumn. Lightly untie Luo Shang and go on the Lanzhou alone. Who in the clouds sent the brocade book? When the word goose returns, the moon is full in the west building. The flowers float and the water flows freely. A kind of acacia. Two sorrows. There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned, but I was in my heart. ”

Xiahou Tassel silently recited "a kind of lovesickness, two sorrows---- before frowning, but in his heart. I can't help but be stupid, although she has not been lovesick, but she can also experience the lingering and sincere lovesickness in the lyrics.

Zhou Xuan took an empty cup, poured two glasses of wine, and pushed it in front of Xiahou Tassel, thinking that these two glasses don't believe that you are not drunk. smiled and said: "Miss Xiahou, if you think I am lovesick well, drink these two cups." ”

Xiahou Tassel was still immersed in the context of the words, holding a glass of wine and drinking it while looking at the void. muttered "A Cut Plum" in his mouth, drank one cup and picked up another cup, Zhou Xuan filled the empty cup and said, "Tassel girl, I am willing to lose the bet." You'll have to drain these two glasses. ”

Xiahou tassel is worthy of being a practitioner, heroic, without saying a word, he drank both cups again, his cheeks were like fire, his eyes were foggy, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth, like a Min dialect.

There are only three people in the East Pavilion Flower Hall now, Zhou Xuan, Sanzhi, and Xiahou Tassel, and the two maids who are waiting for the ground have already been driven out of the door by Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan stood up. Pointing to Xiahou tassel, he said, "It's poured!" Pour also! ”

Xiahou tassel knelt down on the carved round table in response, drunk, six cups before and after, more than half a catty of strong liquor. And if he drank it in such a hurry, even Zhou Xuan, who had a lot of alcohol, would get drunk, not to mention Xiahou Tassel, who rarely drank liquor.

Zhou Xuan turned around and smiled at the three idiots, and said in a low voice: "The third child, it's done." ”

The three idiots were dumbfounded. If you don't accept it, you can't do it. The master was too strong, and a few poems got the female assassin drunk. Now it's at the mercy of the master.

Xiahou Tassel was so drunk that he couldn't sit still, and his body slid down to the table softly.

Zhou Xuan went over to hold her, and Xiahou Tassel leaned softly on Zhou Xuan's body, and the woman's body fragrance was stimulated by the smell of wine, so that Zhou Xuan's lower body was shaken, and he had the idea of holding a murder weapon.

There is a small bed carved and exquisitely carved in the side room of the East Pavilion Flower Hall, covered with a soft Shu Jinyin mattress, Zhou Xuan half dragged and half held the Xiahou tassel to the side room, the first door was a mandarin duck lamp, the light was red, quite ambiguous.

Zhou Xuan put the Xiahou tassel down on the carved bed, and when she took off her embroidered shoes, she found that she was wearing Hu pants under her skirt, and she was really a person who practiced martial arts, and all women who practiced martial arts wore Hu pants, otherwise a high kick, wouldn't the spring under the skirt be exposed!

I don't know how old Xiahou tassels are? He must have been sixteen or seventeen years old, with a drunken face and a delicate face, and her long and fine eyelashes neatly covered the lower eyelids, like a weary black butterfly----

Xiahou tassels are worn in a peach-colored long skirt, covered with a half-sleeved blouse, draped silk ribbons, thin leos, and a green bandeau is exposed under the collar, and the crisp chest is half exposed, white and greasy and dazzling.

The three idiots coughed outside and asked in a low voice, "What is the master going to do with this woman?" ”

Zhou Xuan drank two glasses, and said with a smile through the wine: "I haven't thought about it yet, it's too cheap to leave her like this and walk, is it a rape before killing?" ”

The three idiots were silent.

The drunken Xiahou tassel turned over and lay on his side, raised his round buttocks to face Zhou Xuan, and pulled out an object under his skirt, which was obviously in the shape of a knife.

Zhou Xuan reached into her skirt and groped, untied the object and took a look, sure enough, it was a five-inch knife, a silk handle, and a scabbard inlaid with gems.

Zhou Xuan was a little angry, and said in his heart: "If it weren't for Benhou's alertness, he would probably die under this knife, hum, this Xiahou tassel is my enemy, no matter how I treat her, this is called revenge." Hiding the knife in his arms, he reached out and twisted it on Xiahou's tassel thigh, and scolded in a low voice: "Slut, look at how I clean you up!" ”

Xiahou tassel was drunk and painful in his dream, and he groaned, turned his body and lay on his back again, and his crisp breasts under the green bandeau fell together with his breathing, like two little beasts about to move out of their clothes.

Zhou Xuan pressed his hand on Xiahou's tasseled bandeau chest, shook it through a layer of light Luo, and said in his heart: "I often practice martial arts and fitness, and my two tits are very firm and strong----"

"Bang bang bang", someone knocked on the door, and Zhou Xuan closed the door of the East Pavilion Flower Hall before.

The three idiots outside asked, "Who is it?" ”

A woman outside the door said with a smile: "The concubine is waiting for the tassel girl, I heard that the tassel girl is drunk, so she came to take care of her." ”

The three idiots said: "The tassel girl has her own master to take care of, don't bother." ”

The woman was a little anxious, and said, "Zhou Gongzi wants to share the bed with the tassel girl, so he should also go to the tassel girl's embroidery room, ---- in this hall."

Zhou Xuan replied in the room: "There is also a bed here." ”

The woman said: "Zhou Gongzi, the bed is too small and uncomfortable, please move to the embroidery room in the west wing with the tassel girl." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the bed is small, anyway, I sleep on top of each other, the tassel girl's body is soft, which makes my son like lying on cotton, which is very comfortable." ”

The woman ran out of words, walked quickly, passed through the corridor, came to a small courtyard, and whispered, "I want to see my son." ”

The person inside opened the door and let her in, and the woman came to the bamboo curtain of the first room on the right, and said: "Childe, Xiahou Tassel was drunk by Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan was about to commit adultery, please show Childe, is it to break the door to save the tassel girl?" ”

A cold voice in the bamboo curtain said: "It's really useless and stupid, you will be drunk!" What a joke! It was the voice of Prince Lian Chang.

The woman said: "Miss Xiahou is drunk, and it is no longer feasible to kill people with a knife, so she simply rushed in and killed Zhou Xuan----"

"Shut up!" Gongzi Lian Chang snorted: "Didn't you say that Tassel heard that Zhou Xuan was going to Quanzhou by secret order, and you can't kill him until you find out what he went to Quanzhou for." The bamboo curtain sounded the voice of another person: "Zhou Xuan is scheming, this statement is very likely to be deceitful, when Gan left Beijing, he didn't hear King Jing say that Zhou Xuan was ordered to go to Qingyuan, and Prince Lian Chang must know that many of the eunuchs in Daxing Palace are the eyes and ears of His Royal Highness King Jing, and there is nothing to hide from His Royal Highness King Jing." ”

Gongzi Lian Chang asked, "When did Mr. Gan leave Beijing?" ”

Gan Simou said: "I learned that Zhou Xuan would leave Beijing and go south to Xinzhou on the sixth day of the first month of this month, so Gan rushed over three days in advance. ”

Gongzi Lian Chang said: "That's right, Zhou Xuan's order or what happened after Mr. Gan left Beijing." ”

Gan Simou said: "But there has been no movement in this regard before, how could he suddenly issue an edict to let Zhou Xuan go to Qingyuan?" Qingyuan never pays tribute and worships, so what secret decree does the emperor want Zhou Xuan to do? This is highly suspicious. ”

Lian Chang Gongzi said: "It's easy to kill Zhou Xuan, so you don't have to rush for a while, you must find out if he has a secret will, and what impact does it have on my Qingyuan, and then it's not too late to start." ”

The woman outside the curtain asked, "Childe, ---- the fringed girl?"

Lian Chang Gongzi said: "Xiahou tassels will be given to Zhou Xuan for the time being, let Zhou Xuan redeem her body and take her all the way, so what else can't be found out?" And you can take Zhou Xuan's life at any time, Mr. Gan, do you think my plan is clever? ”

Gan Simou didn't think so, and said perfunctorily: "Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

The woman asked again, "Then Hu Yang Hu Gongzi has already arrived at the Lingshi Garden at the back, how should I send him?" ”

Gongzi Lian Chang smiled coldly: "Hu Yang doesn't have to die, he is lucky enough, he has chosen a life, let him wait in Lingshi Garden for the night." ”

At this time, someone outside the courtyard gate came to report: "Childe, Zhou Xuan is going to leave here that day, what should I do?" ”

"Huh?" Lian Chang Gongzi said curiously: "Why is it so fast? Zhou Xuan's premature ejaculation? ”

Gan Simou immediately remembered the Luofu Mountain Taoist Yuan Qian's practice of making Zhou Xuan dream of spring night and before he was old, and he was surprised and delighted: "Could it be that Yuan Daoren's spell is really useful?" ”
