Chapter 1005: Stubbornness
Everyone was very embarrassed, and Wang Yuan was also a little embarrassed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Huang Siniang turned around and smiled apologetically at Wang Yuan and said, "Wang Xiangguo, don't mind, the girls don't understand the rules and talk nonsense." One by one doesn't know how to dress up, unkempt. ā
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Understand and understand, the Red Mansion of the Qingguan is all prosperous at night, and it is inevitable that they are all night owls." Naturally, you need to get a little more sleep in the morning. But I came here and disturbed the girls' spring sleep. ā
Huang Siniang smacked her lips again and again: "Look, this is the big man, who has no shelf and is empathetic." Characters like Wang Xiangguo are really rare in the world. ā
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Shall we just stand in the courtyard and talk?" ā
"Oh, look at the slave's rudeness, please, please, please, please, Miss Jiang Qiaoqiao lives in the Spring Pavilion on the east side of the second floor. Please. Huang Siniang said busily.
Everyone entered the hall of Cuifang Building, but saw that the Cuifang Building was spotless and gorgeously furnished, with several mahogany round tables placed in the hall and carved round stools next to them. At the end of the curtain, the golden hook is lightly pulled, and several bonsai are placed in the corner of the wall, and one of the large bonsai trees full of pink peach blossoms is very good-looking. The trees are full of peach blossoms, pink flowers and red buds, fragrant and lively. On the ground is a marble floor with a stone grain polished by water, which is as smooth as a mirror and can be seen in oil. Several delicate palace lamps are hung on several pillars, and on the ceiling in the center, an octagonal palace lamp painted with maid flowers and branches hangs in the air. The golden tassel swayed gently, and it was magnificent.
"Ho. It's so magnificent. Wang Yuan praised.
"It's not worth mentioning, how can you enter the eyes of a noble person like Wang Xiangguo who has seen a big scene. However, this octagonal palace lamp has a origin, and this lamp is indeed obtained from the palace. That was twenty years ago. At that time, a distinguished guest came to Yangzhou to play, and when he arrived at our Cuifang Building, he said that we had something short of here, so he sent someone to send this big lantern soon after. Huang Siniang enthusiastically introduced.
Wang Yuan asked curiously, "I don't know which one?" I don't know if I know. ā
Huang Siniang sighed: "Looking at Wang Xiangguo's age, I probably don't know him. But I must know him. He is my predecessor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Jiuling, and Zhang Xianggong. ā
Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "It turned out to be him." Then I really haven't seen it, but everyone knows Zhang Xiang's name, but I don't know that he has also been to this building. ā
Huang Siniang sighed softly: "Yes, haven't you been here?" It's been 20 years, and the slave was only twenty-eight years old, and Zhang Xianggong ...... Hey, let's not talk about it. I Cuifang Building is also an honor, 20 years ago, Zhang Xianggong came to my Cuifang Building, 20 years later, Wang Xiangguo came here. They are all the top figures in my Tang Dynasty, but I am really fortunate to be in Fanglou. ā
Wang Yuan looked at her face, especially the look in her eyes when she mentioned Zhang Jiuling's name, which actually revealed a girlish look. Gossip is like Wang Yuan's heart, and he can't help but guess in his heart. Although the Huang Siniang in front of her is half old, she can still see that her face is thoughtful and her facial features are exquisite. At this time, it still seems to have a unique charm. Thinking about twenty years ago, when Huang Siniang was still sixteen or seventeen years old, she must have been a great beauty. That Zhang Jiuling Zhang Xianggong came to Cuifang Building to play, if he saw this Huang Siniang, would there be a good story? Will there be a story? Otherwise, after Zhang Jiuling returned to Beijing, why did he send someone to send this big palace lamp to hang on Cuifang Tower. It's not necessarily true, but it's interesting to think about.
More than a dozen guards could only stay in the downstairs hall and wait, and Zhao Qing took another captain to accompany Wang Yuan upstairs. The group ascended the mahogany staircase on the east side. The staircase was wide and smooth, and the handrails were beautifully carved. The handrails of the railing are polished to the surface, which shows how many people have escalated up this building. If there is any time-honored brand in the Qingguan Red Mansion, this Cuifang Building is definitely an old signboard of Lao Tzu. From generation to generation, I don't know how many red cards have come and gone, and I don't know how many haunting or sad stories have happened here.
On the second floor, a thin red carpet is laid out in the spacious corridor, and the delicately carved trunks are hung with tasseled wind chimes and a string of beautiful small palace lamps. From the closed door and window on the left came the whispers of the women who had just leaned in and watched. It can be imagined that in the gaps between the doors and windows, their watching eyes are following the figures of Wang Yuan and the others.
At the end of the corridor, a beaded curtain was gently opened by two maidservants with combs, and a landscape screen facing the door could be seen. When Wang Yuan saw this posture, he was very impressed in his heart, this Jiang Qiaoqiao was treated like a beautiful girl.
"Wang Xiangguo, please." The woman stood at the door and folded herself in her salute.
Wang Yuan nodded, lowered his head and entered the door through the bead curtain. After passing the screen, the eyes suddenly opened up. It was a large room, with some tables, chairs, coffee tables, and plain futons on the floor. Near the east head, several curtains are raised. Deep in the curtain, a mahogany table was placed on the ground, and a yaoqin was placed on the table. On the wall at the back are musical instruments such as pipa, hu ji, flute, pan flute, etc.
"Wang Xiangguo, Miss Cui, a few distinguished guests, please sit down. The slave went to invite Miss Jiang Qiaoqiao to come out to see the ceremony. Huang Siniang said with a smile.
Wang Yuan nodded, and sat side by side on the futon with Cui Ruoyu under the guidance of the two little maids. Zhao Qing and the others sat diagonally behind. The two maidservants walked gently and made fragrant tea. Huang Siniang entered the place where the curtain was raised, and turned around and disappeared.
"Hehe, the shelf is really not small." Zhao Qing muttered.
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "We're here to relax, don't worry too much." ā
Zhao Qing nodded yes.
Soon after, there was a sound of soft footsteps in the curtain, and Huang Siniang came out with a smile on her face, but there was no one behind her.
"Wang Xiangguo, Miss Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't expect you to bring so many people up, she doesn't want to see outsiders, so can you invite Wang Xiangguo to come in and talk?" Huang Siniang said apologetically.
"What words? What a big shelf. Zhao Qing was furious: "How can a courtesan be so stylish?" ā
Huang Siniang frowned and said, "Master Jun, don't be angry, my Jiang Qiaoqiao girl is a little temperamental." Haven't you heard that it is more difficult to see Miss Jiang Qiaoqiao in Yangzhou than to meet Taishou? What about the courtesans? The military master doesn't like what he says. ā
Zhao Qing rolled his eyes and wanted to argue, but Wang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's it, why quarrel about these things?" Huang Siniang, I didn't mean to come, but since I came, Miss Jiang Qiaoqiao shouldn't be like this. Isn't this hospitality? Although this person is my subordinate, we can also call it friends, and since it is inconvenient, we will take our leave. ā
Huang Siniang hurriedly said: "Wait, why is this?" It's so easy to come, how can you just leave? Miss Jiang Qiaoqiao really only wants to see Xiang Guo alone, but since Xiang Guo said so, then the slave will go in and ask. ā
Huang Siniang turned around and entered, and came back again soon after, still empty behind her.
"Wang Xiangguo, I'm sorry, my girl is also stubborn, she refuses to see outsiders. She insisted on inviting Sangkook in to meet. Xiangguo, you see, can you ...... Hey, I'm in a dilemma. Huang Siniang said with a sad face.
Wang Yuan was speechless, but it seemed that this Jiang Qiaoqiao was also a person with character, which aroused Wang Yuan's interest.
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Okay, in this case, the guest changes with the host, and I will go to see Miss Jiang alone." ā
Wang Yuan turned his head to Cui Ruoyu and said, "I'll go in and see you, ask a few words and come out." ā
Cui Ruoyu smiled: "You go, why ask me." ā
Zhao Qing reminded: "Dashuai, beware of fraud. Don't go in easily. ā
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "You are also too careful, this is Yangzhou City, not somewhere else." What's so dangerous about such a place? ā
Zhao Qing thought about it and thought it was the same, and smacked her lips: "This woman is really weird temper, how can this temper do business?" I don't know how to run this building, and it's so for the guests. ā
Huang Siniang didn't want to reason with him with a sneer, it was obvious that in the hearts of this Wang Xiangguo's entourage, this Cuifang Mansion was like other fireworks places, a place where guests acted arbitrarily. How could he have known that Cui Fanglou did not rely on these livelihoods to support, and Jiang Qiaoqiao had never sold his art. A song can be wrapped around the head of the red silk gold and silver, everyone appreciates her skills, how can this vulgar martial artist understand.
Wang Yuan got up and followed Huang Siniang to the curtain. When I entered the tent, I found that there was a world in it. To the right, hidden by the curtain, was a hanging door to the next room, and a beaded curtain shook slightly, separating the outer room from the inside.
"Wang Xiangguo, please." Huang Siniang lifted the bead curtain and hung the prime minister, please.
Wang Yuan smiled and nodded, and slowly walked inside. The light inside was dim, and the long window on the outside was hidden by a thin veil, and the bright spring light and spring sun outside were not allowed to enter, only casting the shadows of the swaying trees on the milky white veil. The room is filled with the smell of jasmine sandalwood, and the furnishings are extremely simple, with only one bed, one table, one stool and one cabinet.
Wang Yuan's eyes adjusted to the dim light, and then he saw a slender figure standing in front of the window with his back to him.
"Qiaoqiao girl, Wang Xiangguo is here." Huang Siniang stepped forward and said in a low voice.
The back moved slightly, and hummed softly. Huang Siniang turned around and returned to Wang Yuan's side, and laughed in a low voice: "The slave went out first, Wang Xiangguo, you can talk to Miss Qiaoqiao." ā
Wang Yuan smiled and nodded, Huang Siniang lightly blessed, and quietly went out of the door.
"Wang Xiangguo, please take a seat." Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't know when she had turned around, but with the light on her back, Wang Yuan couldn't see her face clearly.
"Thank you, girl." Wang Yuan smiled with a smile. But there was only one stool, and Wang Yuan couldn't sit down. You can't sit on your own and someone else stands.
Jiang Qiaoqiao slowly approached, and Wang Yuan realized that Jiang Qiaoqiao's face was covered with a light veil, only revealing his autumn eyes, and he still didn't know what he looked like. Wang Yuan tried hard to judge her appearance from the outline of her facial features, but this stunned gaze seemed too rude.
