Chapter 572: The Wine Shop
Returning to the West Market made Wang Yuan very excited. Looking at the bustling and lively shops in the West Market, Wang Yuan seemed to have returned to the mood when he first came to the West Market with Huang San to sell mirrors. Nervous but full of anticipation.
Ah Luo also likes the West Market, which is the territory of the common people, just like she used to walk the streets of Taihe City when she had nothing to do, and it also brought her the same relaxed and natural feeling. Moreover, the dazzling array of goods is also a favorite of women, and this hobby may be rooted in women's genes, and it has not changed for thousands of years. Although the goods here are all low-priced ordinary goods, Ah Luo doesn't care, clothes, jewelry, rouge, gouache and other items have been purchased, which is not only for his own favorite, but also as a gift to bring back to Chengdu to give to the sisters.
Tan Ping had to temporarily hire a big car to follow behind him to collect these goods that were frantically purchased by Ah Luo. Wang Yuan smiled and followed A Luo East Street to the shopping on West Street, looking at the happy smile on A Luo's face, Wang Yuan couldn't bear to tell her to stop. It's rare for her to enjoy this kind of fun, so why don't you be a tolerant follower and let her enjoy this happiness to the fullest.
An hour later, the carriage was full of goods, Ah Luo stopped shopping with a happy flush on her face, wiped the sweat on her face with a silk handkerchief, stood in the street and sighed: "I can't finish shopping for a while, there are so many things I want to buy, what should I do?" β
Wang Yuan smiled bitterly: "In the West Market, you can't buy what you want to buy in ten days and half a month, rest for a while, anyway, you have to stay in the capital for a few days, if you like, you can buy it every day, why rush to finish shopping in one day." β
A Luo Yanran smiled: "Am I too greedy, I want to buy it when I see it looking good." β
Wang Yuan laughed and said: "Greed is greed, so what? Let's go, let's go and rest for a while, there's a street of orchid restaurants, let's go in and have fun. β
Ah Luo nodded in agreement, and the two slowly came to the street of the orchid restaurant in the northeast of the West City, which was much quieter, and the street was full of well-dressed people, the sons and brothers wearing luxurious robes and shaking folding fans, the rich merchants and scribes with big bellies and gold bags on their waists, and the young men who rode white horses to call friends, all came to this orchid wine shop under the autumn sun in the afternoon, and each entered their favorite wine shop to spend their leisure afternoon.
In the wine shops on both sides of the street, the slender orchids in red dresses and flower hats come and go as lightly as swallows, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of Qiang drums, and their every move feels like they are dancing.
Wang Yuan casually found a wine shop with a white wine curtain and pointed to the door: "Just this one, go in and drink some wine and rest for a while." β
Ah Luo smiled: "It looks like you come here often." What do you men like to do most about coming to these places? β
Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Don't think crookedly, this is an orchid wine shop, just drinking and listening to music to watch the dance of orchids." This is not the kind of place you think, you want to talk about the spring hall in Pingkangfang, right? β
A Luo said: "I don't know what the Spring Pavilion is about the Autumn Pavilion. β
Wang Yuan said: "Don't worry, the wine shop is a place of recreation, otherwise how could I take you in?" Besides, I swear to you, I've never been in the Orchid Pub once, even though it's one thing I've always wanted to do. When Saburo and I passed by, I told Saburo that one day I would take Saburo to visit the orchid restaurants in the West Market. Saburo also said at the time that I was dreaming. Today, you will accompany me to fulfill this wish, and let's go in and have a look. β
Arlo smiled and agreed. Wang Yuan took A Luo's hand and entered the wine shop, it was not strange that there were male customers in the wine shop, but it was the first time that a man brought a woman to shop, which immediately attracted the surprised eyes of several guests in the wine shop.
Wang Yuan found a place to sit down, and when the orchid came over Tingting, he smiled with a strange accent: "What kind of wine are you two drinking?" β
Wang Yuan smiled: "What kind of wine is there here?" β
The orchid's blue eyes fanned a few times and smiled, "Are you here for the first time?" When I entered my orchid restaurant, I didn't know what wine was in the orchid restaurant? All orchid shops sell only three kinds of wine, one is Gaochang 'wine', one is Persia's 'Sanle Pulp', and the other is 'Dragon Paste Wine' from Ugo Shanli. Which one do you want? β
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Each of you has a pot and tastes it." β
The orchid smiled and said, "It's the first time I've seen you drink like this." β
Seeing that the orchid was flirting with Wang Yuan's eyebrows, Ah Luo was a little unhappy in her heart and frowned. The orchid didn't care about Ah Luo's expression at all, and still said with a smile: "Which orchid do you want to accompany the wine?" In terms of drinking, it is Loonce, in terms of singing, and in terms of dancing, it is Lolita. Whoever the guest likes can be called to accompany him. β
Wang Yuan was very surprised, he didn't expect that the orchid restaurant had been opened to such a point that he could order orchids to accompany him alone, which was somewhat similar to the style in some KTV private rooms in later generations. Wang Yuan began to doubt his perception of these orchid restaurants, maybe this place is not as simple as he imagined, this kind of practice, wouldn't it definitely breed skin and meat trading?
Wang Yuan glanced at Ah Luo, and regretted that he had brought Ah Luo in without figuring out the situation, didn't this add to Ah Luo's blockage? Ah Luo really looked at Wang Yuan with disgust.
Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Don't be angry, I said that it was only the first time to come, and I won't want anyone to accompany me." β
Ah Luo snorted and said, "Why not?" All three. What Losia BeyoncΓ© Lolita, all called, accompanied my lord to drink, sing and dance. β
The orchid was stunned and said, "What, all three?" β
A Luo said: "Don't you understand? All called. β
The orchid nodded hurriedly, turned around and went to the counter for a burst of bird singing, and a moment later three orchids in long skirts came out of the small curtain behind the counter, and came to the throne of Wang Yuan under the leadership of the orchid. The three orchids were all blonde and blue-eyed, tall and tall, revealing wild charm from top to bottom, and stepped forward to salute Wang Yuan and A Luo respectively. Ah Luo directs three orchids, one pouring wine and accompanying the wine, one singing and dancing, the other holding a tambourine and dancing.
Wine is good wine, song is good song, dance is good dance. Melodious exotic singing, swirling blood-colored skirts, slender and white waists exposing the navel, flying blonde hair, and graceful eyes. The scene in the orchid restaurant lives up to its name.
But at this moment, Wang Yuan didn't have the heart to appreciate, in front of A Luo, Wang Yuan could only sit upright, there was a little fun there. I made a mistake completely, this kind of occasion is still the place of the wind and the moon, Taibai poem said: 'Wuling is young in the east of the golden city, and the silver saddle and white horse spend the spring breeze. Falling flowers wander wherever they go, and laugh into the orchid restaurant. Although such a situation is not fictional, such a scene is only suitable for a single and wealthy white horse boy, not for himself who came with his concubine.
Wang Yuan had to drink wine cup by cup, but fortunately, the grape wine was sweet and delicious, the Sanle pulp was mellow and long, and the dragon paste wine was fresh and elegant, and it was not in vain to come to the wine shop.
I don't know how long it took, when the three flasks were mostly empty, and the dancing orchids let out a slight gasp, and beads of sweat could be seen on their foreheads, suddenly there was a noisy sound of footsteps on the porch of the wine shop. Wang Yuan put down the wine glass and looked surprised, but saw a middle-aged man dressed in the clothes of the palace waiter showed his head in front of the wine shop, and walked around the wine shop. Another sound of footsteps came, and Tan Ping and several guards flew in from outside the door of the wine shop, stepped on the table and jumped in front of the waiter, blocking the waiter's way.
There was a commotion in the wine shop, the sound of the Qiang drums stopped abruptly, and the dancing and singing orchids were so frightened that they stopped watching all this. Several of the guests were so frightened that they hid in the corners and shivered. In a panic, several wine cups and jugs fell to the ground, and the silver tin jugs fell to the floor with a 'clang' sound, and the fragrant wine flowed wantonly from the spouts on the floor, staining the red felt carpet on the ground.
"Dare to ask, is it the envoy of Wang Jiedu?" The chamberlain was blocked by several guards, but with a smile on his face, he saluted Wang Yuan across the chamberlain.
Wang Yuan slowly stood up, drank the wine in the cup, and said in a deep voice: "What is the honorable driver?" β
"The villain is Li Dehai in the palace, who followed Father-in-law Li. The villain has been looking for Wang Jiedu for a morning. But I've finally found you. The waiter rejoiced.
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Oh? What's the point? β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to invite the envoy of Wang Jiedu to come into the palace to see him. And the lord of Nanzhao is also waiting to see his sister. Therefore, he ordered the villain to invite Wang Jiedu to envoy, and asked Wang Jiedu to bring his wife Princess Erhai to the palace with the villain to see the prince. The waiter hurriedly said.
Wang Yuan glanced at Ah Luo, who was slowly getting up on the side, and said with a smile: "I'm right, your brother took the initiative to come to you." β
Ah Luo said repeatedly: "Then what are we waiting for, let's go see Brother." β
Wang Yuan smiled: "I haven't finished drinking the wine yet." It's all good wine. β
Ah Luo stomped her feet and said, "What else are you drinking, okay, next time I will allow you to come and drink alone, are you satisfied?" I know you're getting in the way. β
