Chapter 6 Fairy Pavilion Pleasures
After the school palace was over, all the children left the prison or went home, or went to play in groups of three or five.
According to the regulations of the National Prison, the students' holidays are statutory, and there is one day off every ten years, and it is forbidden to leave the prison at will. However, with the queen of heaven in power and the permanent residence in the eastern capital of Luoyang, the institutions remaining in Chang'an were much lax, and Guozijian was no exception, and lax discipline was a common thing. The bigwigs of the court are busy fighting to the death, who can take care of an unpopular yamen like Guozijian.
Guozijian's sacrificial toast Qinming has always been greedy for power, and he has long moved his office to Luoyang Guozijian to be busy with the powerful people of the dynasty, and the Guozijian in Chang'an is not in charge.
Li Rong took Li Kaigu and Luo Zhenghai to Pengxian Pavilion in Pingkangfang to enjoy the sensational dance performance in Chang'an.
Pingkangfang is located in the fifth square of the third street from north to south in the east of Chang'an Zhuque Street, adjacent to Dongshi in the east, adjacent to Chunming Avenue across Chunming Avenue from Chongrenfang in the north, and Xuanyangfang in the south, which are all lively places. The Shangshu Provincial Government Office is located in the east of the imperial city, and the nearby Zhufang has become a gathering place for the lifters, electors, officials from other provinces in Beijing, and people from all over the world.
Where there is demand, there is a market, and the bustle of Ping Hong Fong has brought it an additional boom in prostitution. Entering from the north gate of Pingkangfang, Donghui Sanqu is the place where all prostitutes gather, and Pengxian Pavilion is one of the best.
Pengxian Pavilion is the most famous green building in Chang'an, known as the three unique Qinglou in Chang'an with beautiful women, singing and dancing and food, ordinary people can't go in at all, the box inside has to be booked in advance to have a place, and ordinary people are not qualified to book, and only Li Rong is a high-ranking family, the children of the powerful have such ability.
Especially recently, Pengxian Pavilion has launched a very distinctive song and dance performance Overlord Farewell My Concubine, with its meticulous plot, dazzling dance, beautiful music, and beautiful appearance, it quickly attracted high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Chang'an City, talented and beautiful, Pengxian Pavilion's already sought-after position has become more hot, and officials below the fourth grade can't get a position, let alone a box.
Today is the last scene of Farewell My Concubine, the previous plot has attracted thousands of empty alleys, and the Pengxian Pavilion has been full for several days, crowded with people. The big families in Chang'an City and the small households in the small streets are all talking about the plot of Farewell My Concubine, eager to break through the curfew order, and all wait in front of the Pengxian Pavilion to see the final ending.
Seeing a few people walking in from outside, Pengxian Pavilion's bustard mother was shocked. Although Li Rong is not a frequent visitor here, the bustard's mother knows his identity, and the two people who follow him, a burly and powerful Hu Han, and an elegant and well-behaved son, are all different from ordinary people.
"Li Gongzi is here, the distinguished guests are coming, hurry up and sit in the room!" Pengxian Pavilion's bustard mother Hua Yueying saw Li Rong coming over with the two of them, and hurriedly greeted him and said.
Huayue Ying is only thirty years old, still charming, mature with charm, she has flexible wrists, good at handling all aspects of relationships, and is well-known in Chang'an.
Suddenly, two beautiful maids stepped forward and led the way with a smile.
The song and dance of Pengxian Pavilion are famous for the pipa of Yun Siyu, the turtle dance of An Yuqian, and the song music of Lin Bihan, which are very famous in the entire Tang Dynasty.
The main building of the Pavilion is a three-story wooden patio with a 10-meter-wide and one-meter-high stage in the middle for guests to watch singing and dancing. The first to third floors are divided into private rooms of various sizes, so that guests can enjoy and enjoy while watching. Li Rong's room is one of the best locations on the second floor.
The room is elegantly furnished and luxuriously furnished, with an incense burner on the table in the middle.
Luo Zhenghai had never seen such a luxurious arrangement, and it looked a little restrained.
"Brother Luo, relax, this is not a prison hall." Li Rong said. He has a good impression of Luo Zhenghai, and in the face of the powerful martial arts family, it is not easy to stand in front of Li Kaigu with brotherhood. You must know that Guozi Sacrifice Toast Qinming is a lackey of the martial family, and Guozi Siye is also a member of the martial family, they have the power to assign students to be officials, and offending the martial family is equivalent to cutting off the road to being an official, and the price can be described as huge.
Luo Zhenghai is a child of the Han family from the local area, and he entered the Guozijian by virtue of his talents, and his parents are not high-ranking officials and wealthy families, so they cannot be qualified to be assigned jobs, so it is impossible to become an official again. As for the entrance examination, it is a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, just like hitting the luck, it is also not a wealthy lord, and it cannot be passed.
"Worried about the future?" Li Kaigu next to him said with a smile, "There is no one left in the world, Zhenghai simply goes to Khitan with me, the glory and wealth are not a problem, it is much better than you in the Tang Dynasty." For Luo Zhenghai, who was implicated because of himself, Li Kaigu felt a little ashamed. Of course, he also took a fancy to Luo Zhenghai's character and talent, if he could use it for himself and for the Khitan, it would be a good thing.
"Kaigu, your kindness has been understood." Luo Zhenghai sighed and said, "My father and mother are in the hall, and I can't stay away, otherwise I want to see the scenery outside the plug and see the beautiful scenery of cattle and sheep in the wind and grass." "He is not single, he still has his parents and relatives at home, in case he leaves with Li Kaigu, he may not be able to fight with the various ethnic groups outside the country that day, and his relatives who stay in his hometown will be unlucky.
"Don't worry, after Brother Luo graduates, your ministry can be arranged for your brother." Li Rong said.
After a few people sat down, several well-trained girls came over and offered all kinds of desserts, cold food, and wine.
After a cup of tea, Wei Jie came to Pengxian Pavilion as promised, and there was no trace on his face that he had failed to make a bet and lost a thousand times, which not only made Li Rong greatly admired in his heart. The cultivation of these wealthy families is indeed extraordinary, and ordinary people have already had to pay their debts. Of course, Li Rong's identity and status did not allow Wei Jie to be repaid.
In another private room on the second floor of Pengxian Pavilion, Wu Zaide sat and talked with a grim-faced man.
"Erlang, your face is blue and black, and your internal injuries are very serious, it will take at least a few months to recover, who is Li Kaigu, how can he hurt you?" The grim-faced man said to Wu Zaide. This man is Wu Zaide's elder brother Wu Chonggui, and he is an outstanding master of the younger generation of the martial arts family, of course, that perverted Tianhuang Wu Youxu is another matter.
"Li Kaigu is a Khitan and a disciple of Sun Wanrong, the Tiger King, one of the eight masters outside the Saiwai. He was just that, and what was even more odious was that Li Rong, Li Hui's son, attacked me and was seriously injured. Wu Zaide said hatefully. Li Kaigu made him suffer a big loss in front of many students, and Li Rong even injured him and made him lose face.
Wu Chonggui came from Taiyuan, passed through Chang'an to do some private affairs, and visited his younger brother by the way, but found that Wu Zaide was beaten. Wu Zaide added fuel to the fire and told Wu Chonggui about the matter, which made Wu Chonggui angry, and decided to give Wu Zaide a vent, so that he would appear in Pengxian Pavilion and prepare to find the field.
Li Rong and Wei Jie agreed to watch the news of the overlord's farewell concubine in Pengxian Pavilion was not much secret, and besides, the overlord's farewell concubine was very good-looking, and it had already spread among the scholars, and Wu Chonggui would not miss this feast when he came to Chang'an.
"Li Rong has already come, in the Bishan Hall on the second floor." Wu Zaide said, "But he is the only son of Li Hui, the marquis of the sword, if he is injured, will he anger Li Hui?" ”
When Wu Zaide came, he found out the name of Li Rong's room through the steward of Pengxian Pavilion.
"Li Hui is already a candle in the wind, and his life is short. Three years ago, he fought alone against three grandmaster-level masters, and suffered irreparable internal injuries, so he didn't have to live long, so he didn't have to be afraid of him. Wu Chonggui said insidiously, "As long as you don't beat Li Rong to death, after all, you have to give Li Hui, a good dog, a little face." ”
"Farewell My Concubine is the masterpiece of the three beauties, whether it is the soundtrack, or the dance, the singing voice is expressed in an unprecedented way, which is beautiful." Wei Jie said.
Li Rong smiled silently, Farewell My Concubine was created by him and Lin Bihan, imitating the style of modern drama, providing her with ideas to create this work.
He and Lin Bihan's husband Bai Yiyun met inadvertently, the two have similar interests and have a very good relationship, Lin Bihan's talent and appearance are good, and they are not under the two, so they became close friends.
The whole building was full of laughter, and the boxes were already occupied, tasting the unique food of Pengxian Pavilion, waiting for the performance to begin.
"Is Brother Li Rong here? In Xia Wu Heavy Rules, you injured my brother a few days ago, and it happens that everyone is here today, why don't we two compete for everyone before Lin everyone's performance? What do you think? Wu Chonggui said, the voice was not loud, but it was far and mysterious, and it spread to the ears of everyone in the building.
"Wu Chonggui is the best of the three generations of disciples of the martial family, who is he going to challenge?" There was a saying in the building, "Who is Li Rong?" ”
"Stupid, Li Rong is the only son of Lord Li Hui, the official Shangshu of the Sanpin Autumn Dynasty of the current dynasty, and the grandson of Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun." The man next to him said.
"Send someone to the box, Li Rong will pay two for one, and Wu Chonggui will pay three for one," a handsome man upstairs commanded.
"Yes," replied the servants, each walking towards the box.
"How did Yuan Ming provoke the people of the martial arts?" One of them was wearing a purple gauze robe and a plain white brocade robe, and a charming woman said beside her.
"Don't worry, Wu Chonggui is just a clown jumping off the beam, and the people of the martial arts family have all had their eyes on their noses recently, so there's nothing wrong with taking some lessons." The man said.
"Brother Wu is invited, how dare you disobey again? is about to learn the martial brother's miraculous skills. Li Rong said loudly.
