Chapter 130: Look at the tide here
The song was recalled in the wind and rain, and I couldn't even hear the sound of cars and horses coming and going outside.
Dressed in an inconspicuous cloth robe, Ye Yingwu stood outside the Invitation Moon Tower, and there was only a handsome young man dressed as a small man behind him, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, which reflected the temperament of the noble son, but this noble son really couldn't see any wealth except for a jade pendant on his waist, and he thought that the family was in decline.
There are a lot of people coming and going, especially in this stormy season, the business travelers who finally rushed to Xingzhou, rather than staying in the cold inn, it is better to get drunk in this Yueyue Building. What's more, the name of Xingzhou Yueyue Tower has long been resounding all over the surrounding state capitals.
"Yanai, but do you want to go in?" The young man in Tsing Yi behind him asked softly.
The young man in cloth smiled: "Are there any wolves and tigers in here, why can't you go in?" β
The little guy in Tsing Yi was slightly stunned, and his face showed a little flush.
And the passers-by also noticed this pair of rather handsome master and servant, and when they heard the young man's words, they couldn't help but snicker. I don't know if this pair of master and servant is really poor on weekdays, this is the first time to invite Yuelou to come.
This first-class gold cave in Xingzhou is afraid that they will be guilty.
The young man walked forward very calmly, the first time? Joke, the entire Invitation Moon Building is Lao Tzu's. But the little guy in Tsing Yi behind him has a bitter look, his own envoy always acts so strangely, he sits in the Invitation Moon Tower on weekdays, and walks behind, to be honest, this is the first time he walks in from the main gate.
But for a woman, the main building in front of the Qinglou has no temptation. So looking at Ye Yingwu's back, Yang Xu could only sigh softly helplessly.
Invite Yuelou's ** twisted his waist to greet him, this is also a half-old, and she is also a sister who had a good relationship with Chunfang when she first entered this trip, and now she is here to take care of her life. Of course, this ** is just a face-saving project put outside, and the real behind-the-scenes host is the Oiran Qiongluan of Invite Yuelou.
"This master, you're quite young, it won't be the first time you've come, right?" **Wanting to lean in, Ye Yingwu subconsciously turned sideways slightly, Yang Xu was still watching from behind, so he naturally couldn't go too far. Besides, a, I don't have much interest.
At that moment, he grabbed a handful of broken silver from his sleeve and stuffed it, and then walked straight forward. The ** person who looked at it was bold and bold at all, which was not at all represented by the shabby cloth clothes on his body, and he was stunned at the moment, and immediately looked at the young man in Tsing Yi behind Ye Yingwu, and his eyes were even more round.
Yang Su made a look, after all, he was a veteran on the Fengyue field, and his surprised expression instantly turned into a happy look, welcoming Ye Yingwu and Yang Su in.
It's windy and rainy outside, but the building is full of people, and it's quite lively.
"What day is it?" Ye Yingwu looked at a young lady in the Qinglou beside him.
The woman twisted her waist, glanced at him, and replied with a smile: "This master, today is a big day, and the master doesn't know?" Today, the Oiran lady in our building is going to play the piano, and then the person who gets the Oiran lady's appreciation can have the opportunity to go upstairs to talk. I didn't see it, but today it was really a gathering of distinguished guests. β
"That's hilarious." Ye Yingwu smiled lightly.
Behind him, Yang Xu smelled the strong smell of fat powder, and couldn't help but frown slightly. The envoy of his own family doesn't know what happened today, and after returning from Tongshan County, he still didn't look a little nervous, as if he was going to sit like this and watch the tide in the north disappear, and let Ah Shu toss.
There are already a lot of people sitting in the lobby of the Inviting Moon Building, including the gentleman who shakes the folding fan gracefully, and the businessman who is full of jewels and smiles without saying a word, of course, there is no shortage of people on the black and white road who are full of pride in the wine world, but it can be regarded as a small river and lake.
Directly in front of the lobby, the high platform has been obscured by a pink curtain, and the musicians on both sides of the high platform play soothing tunes.
Ye Yingwu found an empty seat in the back and sat down with great interest, but next to him was a young scholar who was not good-looking, compared with others, his face was a little less expected, more like a person who came to see the excitement.
"Dare to ask Brother Tai?" The scholar actually came up first.
Ye Yingwu said with a smile: "The local Yang family, the single name is iron, and the font name is Yongbao." β
Yang Xuqiang held back a smile and stood quietly behind Ye Yingwu. This name was simply stolen from the two cronies and generals around Ye Yingwu, and even the last word of Yang Bao was forcibly stuffed into the table.
The scholar was stunned for a moment, obviously he had never heard of such a character, but he also knew that it was a declining family when he looked at his dress, and it was normal if he hadn't heard of it, so he calmly arched his hand: "Then dare to call Brother Yongbao, the younger brother is a Hengshan person, surnamed Zhao, and a single name, has not yet been crowned, so there is no table." β
Ye Yingwu nodded slightly, he didn't expect to meet such a future anti-Yuan hero here, but he thought that Zhao Fan at this time had not yet obtained fame, and the "Hengshan Jinshi" recorded in the history books was now just a white body without fame.
It's no wonder that he has a lively look on his face, even if he has this heart, he doesn't have enough strength to go in and have a meeting with this Oiran. However, Zhao Fan didn't seem to be very envious in his heart, but asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, why did you come here?" β
After all, Ye Yingwu is not even as good as Zhao Fan in terms of dress, at least in terms of dress, and he looks like a member of a defeated family.
Ye Yingwu smiled and stretched out his finger to point to the curtain in front of him: "When I came here, I naturally wanted to see the beauty, after all, Miss Qiongluan is famous, and as a native of Xingzhou, she has never seen it, how can this be reasonable." β
didn't expect Ye Yingwu to admit it so refreshingly, Zhao Fan was calm in his heart, the benevolent brother in front of him looked very shabby, but he was a cheerful person. There was no longer any hesitation at the moment, Zhao Fan opened the fan to block half of his face, and said softly:
"I don't know if Brother Tai knows that this Qiongluan girl is not just as beautiful as a flower. It is said that the person standing behind this Yueyue Tower is Xingzhou Ye Zhijun, and when Miss Qiongluan was in Longxing Mansion, she was also kissed by Ye Yuanjun. I'm afraid it's because of such a heroic appreciation that I can attract so many people. β
Ye Yingwu couldn't help but roll his eyes, he didn't do anything that night, why did he buckle up such a big hat. But now if you want to explain, there is no place to reason, Ye Yingwu can only smile slightly to hide his embarrassment: "When it comes to Ye Yuanjun, he has been walking around the state capitals since he was a child, and he really didn't know that Ye Yuanjun's name spread so far?" β
When it came to Xingzhou Ye Yingwu, Zhao Fan's eyes flowed with a few rays of fine light, and he smiled heartily: "Of course, now looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, who doesn't know Xingzhou Ye Yuanjun?" Macheng and Huangzhou, which battle is not resounding? It is said that the first battle of Luzhou was also the first soldier of Ye Yuanjun, and he finally turned the tide of the battle in the defeated army. Not to mention these things in the market, even the storytellers in the teahouse are also on their lips every day! β
The tree is big and windy, and I'm afraid it's not a good thing. Ye Yingwu suppressed the wry smile in his heart, it is no wonder that Jiang Wanli and others have protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials all over the world, as long as they give a little guidance, I am afraid that officials everywhere are desperately helping to publicize Ye Yingwu's achievements, after all, this is the best choice for the long family prestige and the face of Jia Yidao.
Although Jiang Wanli and the others are not Jia Yidao's opponents in the officialdom, Jiang Wanli and the others have too many advantages in terms of mastering the world's corporal forest and the hearts of the people.
Ye Yingwu just wanted to say something, but the music that had been low suddenly rose up, and the crowd of people sitting in front of him who wanted to see the beauty naturally leaned over slightly, and even more enthusiastic people were ready to stand up at any time, although Zhao Fan knew that he was not qualified for this regardless of financial resources or literary talent, but it did not prevent him from being excited in his heart.
Stretched out his hand and gently patted Ye Yingwu's shoulder, Yang Xu still looked straight ahead. Ye Yingwu bowed slightly, which meant that inside and outside the entire Invitation Moon Tower, Ye Yingwu's personal guards had already come in plain clothes. Ye Yingwu's personal guards are selected from all compartments of the Tianwu Army, the Hundred Battles Capital, and the Six Doors and Jinyi Guards, not only can loyalty be guaranteed, but also needless to say that there is no need to work hard, which is why Ye Yingwu's personal guards are only fifty people, after all, there are too few such people, and finding a few commanders is also doing everything possible not to release people, so Ye Yingwu can only come forward in person.
The pink curtain parted to the sides, and a group of thinly dressed dancers had already walked out quickly, although it was stormy outside, but after all, it was the height of summer.
The singing sounded from behind, but the person who sang it could not see it. Following the singing and music, the dancers danced neatly, and the people sitting below who had seen such a scene for the first time had begun to swallow their saliva subconsciously. Ye Yingwu smiled a little disdainfully, as an experienced person, not to mention compared with his previous life, even compared with those green buildings in Lin'an, these dancing girls are also wearing a little more.
Rao is like this, Zhao Fan, who looks like he is obviously the first brother, has a throat that rises and falls, and he thinks he has been greatly tempted. Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "The good show is still to come, Brother Xian must hold back." β
"What's the use of holding back, you can only see." Zhao Fan smiled bitterly.
This person is real, Ye Yingwu didn't say anything more, because a woman in colorful clothes came slowly from upstairs, and several fat-brained businessmen in the front row spoke one after another: "This Qiongluan girl really deserves her reputation." β
But the woman said softly: "My lady is still upstairs, don't recognize the wrong person." β
"A maid, but with such a beautiful posture, this invitation to Yuelou is such a big deal!" Several businessmen who reacted couldn't help but sigh. The first person even said: "It is said that behind this Invite Moon Tower is Ye Zhizhou, I am afraid that only in this way can I explain it." β
"No wonder, no wonder!" This time, not only a few merchants, but even those scholars who had always looked down on them couldn't help but echo their voices.
"Dang!" There was a crisp sound, and I don't know if it was a bell or a chime.
The closed door on the second floor opened, and a cyan figure jumped straight down from the upper floor, with fluttering water sleeves, and the woman who flew was as light as a swallow, and she was really as good as her name, just like a beautiful Qingluan, spreading her wings and soaring.
The cheers were like thunder, but the girl in Tsing Yi just stood leisurely, a layer of tulle covering half of her pretty face, and she couldn't see the expression behind her. Her maid took two steps forward slightly, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Lady, even if Ye Yuanjun didn't go to the backyard, I'm afraid he was on the way, so I asked the lady to solve it quickly." β
Qiong Luan frowned slightly, nodded, and didn't say anything. After all, this is the first time that Invite Yue Lou has appeared, and it always needs to hold the field, otherwise the sign of Invite Yue Lou will really be smashed. However, it seems that the area in front of it is more lively, and there are still some figures flickering in other places, and these young people don't seem to be here to have fun, but more like they have come here to explore something. Qiong Luan's heart tightened.
Could it be the Imperial City Division?
The gaze that was as gentle as the spring water in March in Jiangnan swept through the crowd, and some of the businessmen who looked at her couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, although they could not see the appearance of this oiran lady vaguely, but the amazing appearance just now, as well as the gaze that seemed to contain tenderness, made many people intoxicated.
A young man in Tsing Yi stood in the crowd, but he was much more delicate. Qiong Luan's heart that had been tense was finally relieved, Yang Xu was here, and there was nothing to do. But if you can make the commander of the Six Gates and Jinyi Wei pretend to be a small servant to follow, looking at the entire Xingzhou, there is only one person.
Sure enough, just in front of Yang Xu, a young man in ordinary clothes was talking to another teenager next to him without saying a word.
It is Xingzhou Ye Envoy.
The Oiran lady was a little silent after she got off the stage, which made the scholars and businessmen in the audience a little bit of a monk who couldn't figure it out, but I think maybe someone in the audience attracted the attention of the Oiran lady. But at this time, no one wants to turn their heads sideways to see where the eyes of the Oiran lady are looking, which is equivalent to taking the initiative to admit defeat.
Qiong Luan cleaned up his mind and laughed softly: "You can come to cheer, it is a blessing to invite Yuelou, and it is also a blessing for Qiong Luan." If there is anything that is not well received, you can ask for it. β
Sitting here and seeing the Oiran lady is not here to pick a thorn, a white-clothed, suave scholar stood up and said loudly: "Don't ask for anything else, but ask for a glimpse of the beauty, and share a few cups with the lady." β
Seeing that this person actually jumped out to take the lead, the others also stood up one after another, saying that they couldn't be robbed of the limelight, even if they couldn't achieve their goal today, they had to leave an impression on the Oiran lady.
Of course, this does not include Zhao Fan, who is very self-aware, and Ye Yingwu, who looks poor, the two of them really stay out of the way, just sit there and watch the excitement. It would be best if Qiongluan took off the veil, but it didn't matter if she didn't.
Anyway, Lao Tzu has seen it, Ye Yingwu thought so in his heart.
Anyway, it can't be good to look at it, it's better not to watch it, Zhao Fan thought in his heart.
"You guys are like this, it really flatters Qiongluan, but after all, the rules of the Yuelou Invitation Tower, this week slave can only meet with one person, so how to fight for this person's quota depends on your ability." Qiongluan's voice was a little less crisp and more soft.
The merchants and scholars below were also stirred up, and their eyes were more hostile when they looked at the people around them. A businessman didn't want to lag behind the scholars, so he jumped out and said, "Dare to ask the lady what she wants to compete?" Something will accompany you to the end. β
"Compare to wealth!" Another businessman hurriedly stepped forward.
"When it comes to poetry and songs!" The scholars were naturally not to be outdone, and if they were really more than money, they would be the opponents of these fat and oily merchants.
There are only these two voices, after all, in the Qinglou, it is either wealth or talent, and there seems to be no other way to compete from ancient times to the present.
Qiongluan's maid stepped forward and said with a smile: "If my lady is to compete with these two, wouldn't it be a clichΓ©, and besides, there are many talented and virtuous people in the world, and there are also those who have a lot of wealth. β
The scholars and merchants were all shocked and looked at each other.
"What is it, the strong enemy in the north is pressing, and the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, this is known to everyone in the world, if anyone can say the strategy of defeating the enemy in the north, my lady can enter the lady's boudoir." Qiongluan's maid then said.
Everyone in the audience gasped.
And Ye Yingwu couldn't help but lean over slightly, he seemed to understand what Qiong Luan wanted to do. This little girl is also shrewd, firstly, these scholars and businessmen who have traveled the world are indeed a good source of information, and secondly, if they can turn Yingyuelou into a place for Ye Yingwu to give advice, it is a good choice.
"As a businessman, he also knows the danger faced by the Great Song Dynasty, and if the government allows it, he is willing to donate half of his family wealth, gather manpower, build armor, and fight against the Mongol Tartars." A young businessman was the first to speak.
Immediately afterwards, many younger businessmen echoed the voice, they were all young, and their blood was more or less hot, and they naturally spoke up when they were stimulated.
And those scholars naturally did not hesitate, and they all said it at the moment, and the wind of Qing talk was very prosperous in the late Southern Song Dynasty, don't look at these scholars looking for flowers and willows all day long, but when there is nothing to do, they also like to sit together and talk.
In today's parlance, it's a bunch of people sitting together and bragging about X.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Ye Yingwu was still sitting upright. Qiongluan on the stage heard these miscellaneous remarks, and his heart also dimmed a lot. As the leader of the Six Gates and the Jinyi Guard's base camp, she naturally knows the information of the world, and now she is naturally very disappointed when she hears these people's indiscriminate high-minded talk.
Looking at the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that only Ye Yuanjun can save Tiantian.
Zhao Fan, who had not spoken, also noticed Qiong Luan's slightly frowning brows, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Tai, is it true that the Oiran lady doesn't like to say so?" β
But to Zhao Fan's surprise, Ye Yingwu, who was still there just now, had disappeared. However, Ye Yingwu's little guy in Tsing Yi was still standing here, but his eyes had already passed over many people. Zhao Fan followed his gaze, not knowing when Ye Yingwu had already squeezed into the crowd.
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· The Great Song Dynasty is strong and middle-class, when guarding Lianghuai and Dongchuan and fighting Xiangyang, digging deep holes, building high cities, and accumulating grain! The loud voice was easily distinguishable from the crowd, especially when everyone else subconsciously suppressed their voices.
This kind of remark is rare, and the Great Song Shizi talks about it, either a pessimistic remark that the country is in danger and is powerless to return to the sky, or a main battle remark that is desperately fighting the Northern Expedition and smashing the Yellow Dragon, this kind of statement is really rarely heard. However, it seems that this is what the imperial court has adopted now.
Dig deep holes, build high cities, and accumulate grain! This is exactly what the Tianwu Army is doing in Xingzhou now.
It's just that no one has ever summed it up so clearly.
"You, you don't even have the courage to go into battle and kill the enemy! The Mongol Tatars are just some barbaric and untransformed people, how can they resist my Great Song soldiers! A gentleman jumped out of the crowd, and if it weren't for a few fat businessmen blocking his way, he would have thrown the man who opened his mouth to the ground.
Ye Yingwu looked at the roaring scholar with some surprise, he didn't expect that there would be such a person in the Great Song Dynasty, and he just smiled coldly at the moment: "I don't have the courage to go into battle to kill the enemy, I'm afraid this brother can't even hold a knife." β
"Don't deceive people too much!" The fellow men of the priest stepped forward.
And the lord and the sect who were arguing with them just now were naturally not to be outdone, and they rolled up their sleeves and had a big battle, not to mention anything else, they couldn't fall behind in front of the Oiran lady.
"Kid is rampant!" Several young businessmen also roared at Ye Yingwu, "It's really a shame that there are such cowardly people under the rule of the Xingzhou Tianwu Army!" β
With a wry smile, before Ye Yingwu could speak, someone pulled his sleeve, but it was Zhao Fan. Zhao Fan pushed around in the crowd, sweating profusely, and said with some gasp: "Brother Tai, don't make trouble here, let's go." β
"This kid is leaving!" The main peace faction and the main battle faction, who were about to argue, discovered this centrist faction at the same time, and they couldn't tell the winner for a while, so it was better to clean up this one first.
Unexpectedly, the Oiran lady, who had been silent on the stage, opened her mouth and said, "I don't know what this brother is called?" The slave wants to invite his brother upstairs. β
The noisy hall suddenly fell silent. Ye Yingwu pointed at himself in some surprise, Qiong Luan's gaze fell straight on him, who else could he have?
Zhao Fan loosened his sleeve, obviously a little surprised.
"Where did the unknown wild boy come from, don't be deceived by him!" Several scholars shouted, this lone centrist finally won the victory, and they naturally couldn't stand it. I don't know what this Oiran lady thinks.
Ye Yingwu looked at Zhao Fan unhurriedly: "Brother Xian, but you want to gain fame?" β
Zhao Fan didn't expect him to ask this question now, but he still nodded subconsciously. Ye Yingwu didn't look at the countless murderous eyes around him, and casually took off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Zhao Fan: "Whether you get fame or not, but if you have difficulties, you can come to find someone, although you are incapable, you must help you." β
Slightly stunned, Zhao Fan nodded solemnly, although this Yang Brother Tai was dressed shabby, it gave him a feeling worthy of heart-to-heart, especially the judgment of the general trend of the world just now, which was even more stabbing to the center. At this time, if Yang Getai was left here to face so many people, it would be unkind and unjust.
Seeing that Zhao Fan didn't leave, Ye Yingwu was slightly stunned, this kid was stubborn. didn't say anything at the moment, Ye Yingwu looked up at Qiong Luan.
Qiong Luan's eyes wandered.
Several businessmen had already blocked in front of Ye Yingwu, their fists slowly clenched.
"Who just asked for So-and-so's name?" Ye Yingwu did not have the slightest fear, and slowly spoke.
"It's me, what can I do?" The gentleman who spoke just now said with a sneer.
waved his hand, but Ye Yingwu's voice turned cold, and the killing aura had already risen spontaneously: "The person in front, get out of the way." β
Shocked by this murderous aura, the businessman in front of him gritted his teeth and refused to give in. If you let this shabby boy see his face and kiss Fangze, wouldn't he be embarrassed and embarrassed. It's just that he seems to be aware of this scene, Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly:
"It seems that there are still too few people who have been killed."
"You're rampant!" A young businessman smiled coldly, "I don't know how thick the sky is!" β
Ye Yingwu waved his sleeves, and the somewhat unsightly cloth robe on his body fell down, revealing the black outfit inside: "You have heard of the name of so-and-so." Xingzhou Zhizhou, the four compartments of the Tianwu Army are all commanding Ye Yingwu, isn't it just below! β
Without waiting for the scholars and businessmen to react, Ye Yingwu's personal guards had already surrounded him from all directions, although they did not draw out their blades, but a killing aura shrouded the hall. Ye Yingwu, Ye Yuanjun, flying as on the same day!
Those present gasped. And Zhao Fan looked at the jade pendant in his hand, stunned.
"Get out of the way!" Ye Yingwu snorted coldly and went straight forward. Yang Xu followed, his sleeves raised slightly, and the sleeve arrows inside were already ready.
The aura of the superior could no longer be concealed, and the people blocking the road in front of him had no faces, and they all turned sideways, and no one dared to stop them. Ye Yingwu strode up to the high platform, looked at Qiong Luan and laughed softly: "This time, you posted it yourself, if you do something out of the ordinary, it's no wonder that you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." β
Qiong Luanqiao's face turned red, but fortunately, there was a veil to cover it, but she couldn't see it.
Last time, it was the businessmen of Longxing Mansion who gave her to Ye Yingwu together, but this time she actually pasted it upside down.
