Chapter 54: Purple Clouds in the Smoke and Rain Building

In this room where Mu Wanqing rested, Zhao Xiaoxi and the two daughters enjoyed a meal with unique Jiangnan characteristics. Especially the unique seafood along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River made the two girls who tasted the seafood for the first time sigh that the fish and shrimp in the sea seem to be no worse than those in the rivers and lakes, and they also sigh again and again.

Especially when the shopkeeper came up before, the three fat sea crabs, and the two girls who watched it were even more amazed that this strange thing could be eaten. When Zhao Xiaoxi intimately separated the crabs for them and let them taste them, they knew that the meat of this long and ugly crab was so delicious. Suddenly, I also felt that it was not in vain to rush to Jiangnan during this time.

After the two girls felt that they were eating a little, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly asked someone to clean up the mess on the table, and asked the shopkeeper to bring tea and snacks for the two girls to digest a little. What's more, going out at this time is still a little hot, Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't want the two confidantes to tan, this white and white is more beautiful!

Zhao Hyo-seok, who sat in the room with the two girls for a long time, saw that the sky outside was getting darker, and soon decided to set off to go shopping. Immediately, Zhong Ling burst into cheers, habitually put his arms around Zhao Xiaoxi, and walked out of the inn again with Mu Wanqing, who was wearing a veil again and wearing a long sword at his waist.

Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi, who looked like a rich boy with a folding fan, and Mu Wanqing, who was wearing a veil next to him, he was also very curious about the real him of this lover. As for Zhong Ling, she doesn't have this kind of observation at all, as long as she stays by Zhao Xiaoxi's side, maybe she feels the happiest.

Although the city of Suzhou is already shrouded in the setting sun at this moment, the pedestrians on the streets have not decreased, on the contrary, Zhao Xiaoxi can clearly see that some beautifully dressed Jiangnan women can also be seen everywhere on the streets at this moment. With these ladies who are rare to see during the day, there are naturally a lot more elegant scholars on the street.

These boys, who are also holding paper fans, are also dressed as talented, and from time to time they are in groups to comment on the girls passing by. This kind of scene reminds Cho Hyo-seok of his previous life, when he was in school, he was with some boys, and his favorite thing to do. It is to squat on the street in front of the art school and admire the demeanor of those art school girls. It seems that in any era, the love of beauty is really well known!

When these scholars, dressed as scholars, saw Zhong Ling, who was snuggled in Zhao Xiaoxi's arms, and Mu Wanqing, who was accompanying him, they also showed some envy. It's just that when he saw the long sword that Mu Wanqing was wearing on his waist, even if he wanted to see what kind of face he had on this soft body, he didn't dare to step forward to stop him at will.

After all, there is a cloud in poetry and books that 'fair ladies and gentlemen are good'. These scholars who consider themselves apprentices of the Son. I don't dare to do anything abrupt and beautiful at will.

What's more, these scholars with excess hormones know that the identity of a man who dares to take such a stunning beauty to the street will be simpler? This also shows that scholars in this era also have the ability to see what girls can come forward to talk to, and what girls they can only watch from a distance and not close to obscenity. A person who is not good at offending people who should not be offended will still bring trouble.

When Zhao Xiaoxi took the two girls to a small shop that sold rouge, seeing Zhong Ling's eager appearance, Zhao Xiaoxi walked into this rouge shop with the two girls without any consideration. Let the two girls, who rarely use rouge, pick out some of their favorite rouge in the store.

Just after Zhao Xiaoxi entered the store, he soon saw that the store was full of all kinds of women who came to choose rouge. From this point of view, it can be seen that cosmetics are a sought-after thing for women in any era. Looking at a few sons and brothers who are like him, acting as escorts and paying money, he admires all kinds of beauties in the store at this time.

Looking at a woman standing behind the counter, she was hyping up a kind of blush, and even 'so-and-so everyone' had used this blush and absorbed countless words from his benefactors. Zhao Xiaoxi also sighed that this woman is really a strange one, and she will advertise with something that a prostitute has used.

But he also quickly figured out that the literati and writers in the heyday of the Northern Song Dynasty liked to wander away from the Goolan tile house and sell their literature. Among them, the 'everyone' mentioned by the woman is actually a female representative who is similar to selling her art but not selling her body, and is touted by these literati and ink writers, representing both talent and beauty.

Just when Mu Wanqing took a look at the rouge and felt that she didn't like anything, Zhong Ling picked a gouache and a box of carmine under the recommendation of those clerks with clever mouths. As for this white gouache, it is made of pearls, and the price is naturally not cheap. However, for this little money, Zhao Xiaoxi naturally will not feel distressed.

On the contrary, it was Mu Wanqing, who didn't seem to have much interest in these cosmetics, and quickly paid for the goods and was about to leave Zhao Xiaoxi. I heard a scholar in a hurry, holding a folding fan and rushing into the store and saying, "Brother Zhu, Brother He, the Ziyun girl from Yanyulou, tonight on the Su River, invite the talented people in the city to a poetry meeting." The winner can play the piano for a night in Ziyun Girl! ”

Just when Zhao Xiaoxi was surprised that he had just arrived in Jiangnan, he encountered this so-called famous poetry club, and the scholars in the store were a little boring before. Hearing this, he ignored the complaints of the women who had brought them into the store, and quickly rushed out of the store. This scene was the same as hearing that star appear on the street in the previous life, which attracted everyone to flock to it.

Seeing that even some of the girls who bought rouge in the store began to whisper when they heard the news, and they were also preparing to go to the nearby Su River not far away to see this rare and talented competition in the city.

Zhong Ling, who loves to be lively, naturally will not miss such an opportunity, and pulls Zhao Xiaoxi to follow the streets, those scholars who learned the news, and all the ladies to go up the Su River embankment. Along the way, I looked at those scholars, regardless of the gift of the Holy Son, and ran desperately. Zhao Xiaoxi is also very curious, what is so strange about this Ziyun girl, which has attracted so many scholars to be crazy.

When Zhao Xiaoxi took the two daughters along the flow of people and came to the Su River, he saw that the water in front of him was almost crowded. On the bank of the river was a pleasure boat with countless red lanterns hanging on it, and the whole surface of the river was very attractive.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who was the only one who saw this, couldn't help but complain in his heart: "It seems that there will be a red light district in the future, and there will also be a red light district in this year!" ”

As the flow of people gathered began to increase, what made Zhao Xiaoxi a little unhappy was that on this occasion. He unexpectedly saw several officials wearing official veils sitting on the high platform built by the river under the protection of the yacha. After being introduced by a beautiful girl above, Zhao Xiaoxi knew that the officials above were actually acting as referees for tonight's poetry meeting.

Enjoying the worship of the imperial court, he actually acted as a referee for a prostitute, Zhao Xiaoxi was really angry. I quickly remembered the appearance of these officials, and when I returned to the inn in the evening, I saw the official information collected by the cloth pavilion here. He slowly cleaned up these officials who ate Junlu one by one, but did not think about repaying Jun's kindness.

When these officials and these officials arrived, a girl who looked like a first-class girl in Zhao Xiaoxi's eyes. Holding a zither and walking on the high platform, it immediately attracted the crazy cheers of the onlookers. It was these voices that made Zhao Xiaoxi quickly realize that this stunning beauty was the Ziyun girl who caused a commotion in the street market.

Compared with other scholars and ladies screaming again and again, especially as crazy as chasing stars in his previous life, Zhao Xiaoxi noticed something wrong from this girl's behavior. Because he always felt that this girl was not as feminine and docile as she seemed. And with the caress of Ziyun's ten fingers on the stage, an elegant guzheng music sounded, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Xiaoxi's mouth.

When he saw the other party before, he felt that something was wrong, but now when he heard the sound of the strings, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly realized it. This eighteen-year-old woman is still a person who cultivates martial arts well. When playing the piano, the internal force can still be run in it, so that the sound of this guzheng can be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is a good call.

Smoke and rain building! Purple Cloud Girl!

This word was quickly remembered by Zhao Xiaoxi, and when he returned to the inn, he wanted to let Bu Yige check the background of this smoke and rain building. In Zhao Xiaoxi's view, a woman with such cultivation, willing to sell herself in the goulan, has such a close relationship with the gentry in the city, and has such influence among the people, the intention behind it must not be simple.

As the song was finished, the onlookers began to applaud, and even Zhong Ling couldn't help but sigh that this woman's sound of playing the piano was really good. On the contrary, Mu Wanqing, who had a calm temperament, frowned lightly and whispered: "Brother Yun, I always feel that the piano played by this woman seems to have a feeling of confusing people's hearts. What does Brother Yun think? ”

Seeing that Mu Wanqing actually heard that something was wrong, Zhao Xiaoxi chuckled and said, "It's still my Qing'er who is smart, it's okay!" Now that we're here, let's take a good look at what tricks this girl can play! ”

When this Ziyun, who always had a kind of pity and pity, said that tonight's poetry meeting was to invite the talented people in the city to write a poem and compose a new song, the following talents immediately jumped to try. It seems that if they win tonight, they will not only be famous, but also have the opportunity to swim the night river with this beautiful woman in Suzhou City.

In addition, the officials invited by Yanyulou tonight, if they are appreciated by these officials, they will get twice the result with half the effort in recommending or gaining fame in the future. This kind of good thing that almost reaps fame and fortune, no wonder these scholars in the city are so ready to move.

Only Zhao Xiaoxi felt a sense of sadness, and felt that compared to the sound and lust of dogs and horses here, how many people knew that the border was full of wolves! If even the people and officials do not have such a sense of distress and crisis, how can they not usher in the disaster of the destruction of the country?
