Chapter 17: The Oiran in the Wind
Youzhou of the Han Empire, located in the northernmost part of the Han Empire, is the first line of defense of the empire to the outside world, out of Youzhou is the settlement of the Hu people, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty drove the Xiongnu north for hundreds of years, the Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses, but with the passage of time, gradually the Hu people are not afraid, and began to cross the border to plunder in the south, due to the perennial conquest, the people of Youzhou are fierce, and the combat power of the armor soldiers in Youzhou is also very strong, after all, they have experienced the baptism of blood, and they are much stronger than those old soldiers in Luoyang City.
Zhuojun is a bit north of Youzhou, is a military and civilian city, because of the proximity to the border in this city there are many Xianbei, Wuhuan and other Hu people, they do some business with the Han people, with fur in exchange for some salt, iron, rouge and other items needed on the grassland.
There is a Linfeng building in the city of Zhuo County, it is the largest restaurant in Zhuo County, the daily business of this restaurant is very good, the restaurant is divided into three floors, there is a big platform in the middle, different dramas are staged on the platform every day, there are storytellers, singing operas, juggling, every day will attract a large number of people to come to watch. These are not the most attractive, the most attractive is the fireworks women in this Linfeng Building, these fireworks women are trained by the bustard to be abnormal foxes, specializing in seducing men, over the years, I don't know how many people have gone bankrupt for these fireworks women, and the family is ruined!
On this day, Linfeng Lou is overcrowded, on the high platform in the lobby of Linfeng Building, there are many beautiful and delicious women, standing in the front is a fifty-year-old mother, with a red flower inserted in her sideburns, and her face is covered with fat powder, it is the old bustard of Linfeng Lou Ruhua, this Ruhua is also a beauty when she is young, when Nai is light, youth is not there, with the relationship in this Linfeng Lou mixed with an old bustard's position, at this time she stood on the big platform and shouted hard, "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day of the triennial selection of new Oiran in Linfeng Building, Do you want to know who this year's Oiran is? ”
"Mother Ruhua, don't ink, let's start quickly" The person who spoke was a man who looked like a son, wearing good clothes, and shaking the folding fan in his hand, it was Zhao Qi, the son of Zhuojun Taishou.
The old bustard Ruhua had a smile on her face, "Oh, my eldest son Zhao, you just wait and see!" ”
Zhao Qi closed the folding fan gently, closed his eyes and leaned back, ignoring the bustard.
Ruhua stretched out her hand and clapped her hands three times, "Girls, go!" ”
Ruhua retreated to the side of the stage after speaking.
The piano sounded, and the group of girls on the stage danced, their water sleeves danced lightly, covering their faces, their steps were light, and their eyes were blurred. The men in the lobby of the restaurant were fascinated, whistling at the stage, and shouting.
The girls on the stage performed harder and harder, and the sound of the piano became more and more urgent, and the group of girls quickly approached each other. It forms a circle, like a budding flower bone.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the people in the lobby also fell silent, and the silent pin drop in the lobby could be heard. Suddenly, the sound of the piano suddenly started, and the girls on the stage quickly dispersed, revealing a woman in purple clothes with a fluttering light veil covering her face, delicate as water! She began to spin, her sleeves fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth!
Flower petals began to fall on the platform, like a dream!
"Good!"
"It's an Oiran!"
"Beautiful!"
The people in the lobby erupted in louder shouts, even duffling the sound of the piano!
And in an inconspicuous corner on the second floor of Linfeng Building, there is a teenager sitting quietly, this teenager is seventeen or eighteen years old, the appearance is very ordinary, but a pair of ears, very distinctive, unforgettable, this young man's ears are very big, people who know him call him Big Ear Liu! And his real name is Liu Bei, from a small village called Lousang in Zhuo County.
At this time, Liu Bei looked at the woman in purple on the stage quietly, with no joy or sadness on her face.
Then the harp stopped, and the woman stopped dancing. The old bustard Ruhua walked up to the woman in purple and took her hand, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is this year's Oiran of Linfeng Tower-Gan-Mei!" ”
"Take off the veil and let me see it!" Zhao Qi shook the folding fan and teased
"Yes, take it off!"
"Take it off!"
The old bustard Ruhua smiled and said to Gan Mei beside her, "Hear it, Amei, you are looking forward to it!" ”
Gan Mei looked at the bustard and nodded, and then made a good salute to everyone in the audience.
After saluting, she lowered her head and slowly took off the light veil on her face.
The moment I looked up, the audience was quiet, and I could no longer hear noisy shouts, only the sound of swallowing saliva.
The red eyebrows dotted the red lips and looked back at Bai Meisheng.
"There is such a beautiful woman in this world!" Zhao Qi admits that he has seen a lot of the world and played with many stunning women, but when he saw Gan Mei today, he felt that he had played like a sow before!
"I've got to get her!" Zhao Qi secretly made up his mind.
The old bustard Ruhua seemed to know that this would be the result, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, how is it, how is this year's Oiran!" ”
"Yay!" A middle-aged man said, unaware that his saliva was already running all over the ground
"Beautiful, so beautiful!" A bachelor-like man shook his head!
A young student-like man stood up and wept and said to Gan Mei on the stage: "When I saw Oiran today, my heart was taken away by you!" Xiaosheng knew that he couldn't tie the knot with Oiran, so he volunteered to be a green lantern ancient Buddha and lived a lifetime! ”
"Childe doesn't have to be like this, Amei is just a person in the dust, and it's not worth being so concerned by Childe!" Gan Mei lightly opened her lips and spoke like a lark in a tree!
"Ah, I'm so happy! I'm so happy," the student-looking man was so excited that he put his hand over his chest and said, "My heart seems to be—ah! Before he could finish speaking, he was beaten up by a group of people and thrown out of the restaurant.
"Damn, retarded!"
It was Zhao Qi who spoke, he had long been fed up with the acting skills of the old brother just now, so he sent his subordinates to beat up the person just now, "You have said everything, let this son say anything!" ”
In the corner of the second floor, Liu Bei looked at Gan Mei from top to bottom, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Amei, you have finally achieved your ideal!" ”
The memory seems to go back to the past, the little girl who likes to wear purple clothes pulled her ear and said to him, "Big ears, you listen well, my crush will come to marry me in the future with colorful clouds!" He is a hero of the world, you look so ugly, and you can't ride colorful clouds, I will ignore you! ”
Zhao Qi looked at the Ganmei folding fan on the stage, flew to the platform lightly, leaned over to Ganmei, sniffed it with his nose, and looked intoxicated: "The girl is so fragrant!" ”
Zhao Qi said while probing his face and preparing to kiss Ganmei's face, Ganmei stepped back like an electric shock, Zhao Qi smiled evilly, "What?" Miss Mei, is this not giving Zhao face? ”
Gan Mei opened his mouth and said, "Childe is self-respecting, Amei, don't sell yourself!" ”
"Yo he" Zhao Qi's face changed, and he was about to say something,
The old bustard Ruhua hurriedly stepped forward to play the round, "Oh, my Zhao Gongzi, my Mei girl has said that she doesn't sell her body!" While talking, he squeezed Zhao Qi's eyebrows. Zhao Qi was stunned, and punched Ruhua in the face, "Old bustard, you are so ugly, you are squeezing your eyebrows at me, I'm embarrassed and I can't help it!" ”
Zhao Qi endured the nausea and apologized to the bustard, the bustard's eyes were a little black by Zhao Qi's beating, but the bustard didn't get angry, but just pulled Zhao Qi to a secluded place under the stage, and whispered to Zhao Qi: "Son, you are going to kiss my girl here, it's not good!" ”
Zhao Qi looked disapproving: "So what? The woman I Zhao Qi wants to play, there is no one who can't get it! ”
The old bustard smiled and agreed, "Childe, Ah Mei is new, and she only sells her art, not her body!" ”
"Phew!" Zhao Qi spat on the ground, "Pretend to be high in front of me, my son still doesn't believe it" Zhao Qi stretched out his hand as he spoke, and spread his palms flat, "How about five hundred?" ”
"Hehe" The old bustard shook his head, "Childe Amei just remembered my Linfeng Building, and never sold himself here"
Zhao Qi smiled and continued to increase the price and said, "One thousand! Ruhua wanted to shake her head again, Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Don't shake your head in a hurry, listen to what I said about a thousand is gold!" What do you think? ”
The old bustard was a little stunned, this thousand gold is enough to open four or five restaurants like Linfeng Building, I can't imagine that a son of Taishou would take out a thousand taels of gold for a woman! This thousand taels of gold is enough for me to go to Luoyang City to buy a courtyard to spend my old age in peace.
Thinking of this, Ruhua nodded, and she said, "Since Childe is so generous, then I will help Childe, but Childe must remember that everything that listens to me should not be forced!" Amei is very strong."
"Hehe, I like fiery horses, it's fun to tame like that!" Zhao Qi smiled evilly.
Ruhua continued, "Childe, you want Ruhua to fall in love with you, I talked to her before, she said that her family is poor, and she came to Zhuojun just to earn some money, eat enough, and then find someone to rely on to marry." ”
Zhao Qi shook his fan and said, "Where is she from?" ”
Ruhua thought for a while and said, "It seems to be called Lou Village, it's been a long time, and I don't remember it!" ”
"Oh, a little girl from a small village, who came to the county town to find her crush, did she think she was the Zixia Fairy? There is also a Monkey King driving colorful auspicious clouds to pick her up! Is it so funny" The more Zhao Qi spoke, the more he wanted to laugh, and finally couldn't help laughing.
"Alas" The old bustard shook his head, feeling ashamed: Amei, I'm sorry, I can't refuse Zhao Gongzi's price, but after all, he is the son of the county guard, and you won't lose anything if you follow him!
After the bustard and Zhao Qi left together, a figure appeared and stared at the two of them for a long time, it was Liu Bei, Liu Bei's ears were very big, because of this, his hearing was much higher than ordinary people, he listened to the words of the bustard and Zhao Qi word for word in his ears, Liu Bei sighed, and finally couldn't help but not make a move, it seems that it is necessary for him to talk to Amei!
"Hey, Xuande, why don't you call me here! It's not interesting enough! ”
Liu Bei knew who it was, so he turned around with a smile and said, "Senior brother! ”
I saw a man standing behind Liu Bei at some point, with eagle eyes and a high nose, and white clothes were better than snow.
