The carriage left the Donghua Gate and headed straight north.

Under Chen Ke's questioning, Zhao Zongji said with a mysterious face: "The place we are going to now is the 'Tianyin Water Pavilion' that all men in Bianliang want to go to. It's not just a beautiful environment. What's more, its hostess Du Qingshuang and Du everyone not only have the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, but also her singing voice is like a heavenly sound. After a pause, he said: "Actually, her residence was originally called 'Tea Perfume Pavilion', but it was later renamed 'Tianyin Water Pavilion' by good deeds, and everyone said that it was changed well." ”

Men in the world are the same, as soon as he mentioned Nadu everyone, Zhao Zongji suddenly lost his stability, and his face showed a three-point face: "Recently, it is not right for me to make you scared." Today, please go and listen to everyone Du sing, even if I compensate you. ”

"Du, everyone?" Chen Ke's expression was a little weird and said, "I actually moved you out?" ”

"I ......" Zhao Zongji smiled dumbly: "Why do you think so?" ”

"Hey......" Chen Ke couldn't help but be embarrassed, and laughed at himself: "I'm self-inflicted, okay?" ”

"What do you mean, do you still have a friendship with everyone Du?"

"Nope."

"Forgive me, you've only been in the capital for a while." Zhao Zongji thought deeply and said: "Let me tell you, the Du family is famous for their self-appreciation among the ten elements in the capital. No matter how many high-rollers spend thousands of dollars, they can't enter the courtyard gate of Tianyin Water Pavilion. Even those of us noble children, she rarely received them at home. After a pause, he smiled again: "There is only one exception, that is, when she auditions for a new song, she will invite a group of bosom friends to come to Yazheng ......."

"I can't see it," Chen Ke said hesitantly: "You are still the bosom friend of the song fairy." ”

"I ......" Zhao Zongji laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm only a fan at most, it's my Xiang'er sister, she is a friend of the Du family." ”

"Oh......" Chen Ke nodded, and said in his heart: "The little lord and the kabuki have become good friends, what a hellish era......

"Also," Zhao Zongji said a little embarrassed: "Some people have wanted to see you for a long time, if they are too enthusiastic, or if they don't choose what to say, you should take care of it." ”

"Can I get out of the car?"

"No, you can't."

"What's that nonsense?"

As he said this, the carriage stopped, and the guards held up their umbrellas and opened the curtains.

With Zhao Zongji, Chen Ke got out of the car, and saw a small lake in front of him, a small island in the center of the lake, and a stone arch bridge connected to the shore. Walk along the small bridge, but see the bamboo sandwich, the square forest ramp, an elegant water pavilion in the meantime, like a blessed place for the gods to live in seclusion.

Chen Ke couldn't help but secretly speak, this Du family is really a big name, in this Bianjing City, where every inch of land is expensive, can afford to live in such a scarce water-friendly mansion......

Zhao Zongji also looked fascinated and said: "Looking at his residence and knowing his person, from this, it can be seen how the hostess is extraordinary......"

"Does the one who lives in the mansion have to be a good person?" Chen Ke pouted.

"That's ......," Zhao Zongji shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The guests were not the only ones, and there were more than a dozen large and small carriages parked on the stone path by the bridge...... There were sturdy drivers on board, sitting under the eaves to shelter from the rain. When he saw Zhao Zongji, he quickly got up and saluted.

Although the little prince was born and raised in the capital, he is not an ordinary coachman who can be recognized.

Zhao Zongji ignored them and took Chen Ke to the stone bridge, but saw that the small island in the middle of the lake was lush with flowers and trees, surrounded by blue tiles and white walls along the continent, simple and elegant. Crossing the stone bridge, it is a rain shelter with eaves and tiles.

There was a little maid in the pavilion who came out with a flower umbrella and smiled at Zhao Zongji: "The son is here, everyone Du has already sung two songs." She saw Chen Ke again, but her face changed significantly.

Chen Ke also recognized her, isn't this the little maid who was kidnapped by himself back then, tsk, she has grown so big......

"It's a shame." Holding an umbrella, it was difficult to see other people's expressions, Zhao Zongji said to himself: "Let's go in quickly." ”

"Yes." The little maid glared at Chen Ke, then turned around and led the way.

'Hehe...... 'Chen Ke smiled secretly in his heart, quite resentful.

"My family is in there." Zhao Zongji said and motioned for him to go in together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I entered the weeping flower gate, I entered the water pavilion, and saw a bush of bamboo, blocking the scenery inside. The two of them followed the maidservant up several stone steps, and when they turned around, they saw that it was a hole in the sky.

But seeing that the front hall of this water pavilion is in the shape of a zigzag, surrounded by a circle of verandahs, five steps and a pavilion, and ten steps and a pavilion, the guests sit in these halls and pavilions, looking at a pavilion-style piano platform in the center. Whether it is the verandah or the piano platform, all of them are located on the water, and the blue lotus and white lotus in the water, the brocade scales swim, as in the painting.

The maidservant led the two of them through the corridor, stopped in front of a pavilion, and whispered: "County lord, the prince is here." ”

The curtain was lifted from the inside, and another beautiful maid came out and said, "Childe." ”

Chen Ke followed Zhao Zongji in, and saw that in this small water pavilion, there were two men and two women, and the men did not mention it, just talking about the two women, one was a dignified and demure, bright young woman, and the other was a girl with condensed skin and a beautiful national color.

When they saw them enter, all four of them stood up to greet them.

"These two are my brother Zong Yi and my younger brother Zong Jing." Zhao Zongji introduced Chen Ke that he had a total of four brothers, and one of them was only ten years old, so he naturally didn't come with him when he was interested in the female artist of virtue and art.

"This is clumsy, this is the sister, you have seen it." Zhao Zongji introduced again.

"I've seen my uncle." The young woman was blessed.

"I've seen the third brother" The little county lord was also blessed, and his face was slightly red.

Chen Ke didn't dare to slack off, and saw the salutes one by one. After taking a seat, Zhao Zongji's eldest brother Zongji hugged Chen Ke's shoulder affectionately and said, "The name is like thunder, and I finally saw it today." ”

Zhao Zongjing was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and he also said to Chen Ke with a smile: "There is now a saying of 'three difficulties in Beijing', saying that one Weng, one prostitute and one scholar. ”

"What do you mean?"

"A Weng is called a drunkard, and a prostitute is called a fairy," Zhao Zongjing stuck out his tongue and said: "A scholar is called a dictionary gentleman......" The maids sneered when they heard it.

"Don't get me wrong, putting that fairy side by side with your master and apprentice doesn't mean anything derogatory." Zhao Zongji was afraid that Chen Ke would be unhappy, so he hurriedly explained.

Chen Ke was already accustomed to the behavior of the people of the Song Dynasty who were crazy about pursuing famous prostitutes, and said with a wry smile: "I am honored." "Most of the people studying in Taixue are young people, and they chatter and talk about the most, which is the matter of Fengyue. Therefore, although he has not been here for a long time, Chen Ke already knows a lot about the scandalous things in Beijing.

For example, every year in Beijing, a 'flower evaluation list' is held, and all kinds of famous flowers are used to evaluate and compare famous prostitutes, and a number of 'oiran' are selected. In the year of Dabi, there will also be 'Fan Guo Chunqiu', imitating the title of the imperial examination to rank famous prostitutes, and it is also divided into one, two, and three grades, and those who have won the three tripod armor will naturally become legends in the Oiran world, and even leave a name in history.

And the so-called 'fairy girl' is a famous prostitute with the highest call to win the championship, called Qin Xiangjun, and his name is 'Peony Fairy Ji'......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"On the territory of the 'water fairy', is it too rude for you to discuss the 'peony fairy'?" Zhao Zongji's wife, Zhang, covered her mouth and smiled.

"yes, I won't say it." Zong Jing said from the goodness: "You guys are late, everyone Du has already sung two songs; But it's okay, there's another song to listen to later. ”

As he was talking, he heard the sound of a 'ding dong', although the sound was not loud, but the water pavilion immediately fell silent. Everyone looked outside the pavilion, and they saw that on the piano platform in the middle of a pool of clear water, there was a woman wearing a fallen horse bun and a white gauze skirt. The breeze was blowing, the drizzle was misty, and her figure was a little hazy, fluttering like a fairy.

I saw her gently waving her jade fingers to pluck the pipa, the sound was like a mountain and a quiet autumn song, and the moon was high in the forest, which made people feel stunned. With the sound of soft man's bead-like strings, the jade man sang:

"If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan.

Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable......"

The song is like a hundred birds throwing into the forest, flying springs splashing jade, and the melodious place is like a hole flute on a moonlit night in the spring river, with a pearl throat. The crying and complaining song made people's eyes ripple with tears......

Chen Ke was also stupid, this was the second time he listened to Na Du Xing's first singing, the last time in the noisy hotel, there were seven points of alcohol, I only felt that it sounded good, but I didn't feel anything. But this time, I came to listen to her singing, and the feeling was naturally different...... This is a woman who sings with her soul.

He couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Meng Lang at the beginning......

At the end of the song, the woman had already bowed down behind the curtain, and everyone was still infatuated. After a long time, a cloud board sounded, and her female disciples came to the stage to sing, and only then did they call the audience back.

"This song "Yulou Chun", sung well, and the words are filled in well, is it Liu Qi's posthumous work?" Zhao Zongji came back to his senses and said.

"No," the little county lord shook his head and said, "The style of words is not like Liu Sanchang, and it is not even like any word person in the world." ”

"Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable......" Zhang wiped his tears and said: "Such a heart-rending word, I don't know what an idiot fills in." ”

"Well, it can be said that after Liu San's change, my Great Song Dynasty is in love with another saint." Zhao Zongxi concluded his arguments.

When Chen Ke heard this, he felt quite anxious about stealing people's property and lying down. There was a fever on his face, so he just lowered his head and ate wine.

Seeing this, Zhao Zongxi asked, "Don't you think it sounds good?" ”

"Nice, nice." Chen Ke hurriedly nodded; "That's good." said with a dry smile: "But I don't appreciate ...... very much" As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "Come on, drink and drink......"

Seeing that his face was empty-hearted, everyone was suspicious, and the little county lord even said secretly: 'Why does this bandit seem to have changed into a different person?' 'I know the music very well, but I don't admit it; is obviously very thick-skinned, but he is twisted and pinched, it seems that there must be a ghost in this......

At this time, the maid reported: "County Lord, everyone Du is here." ”――

Partition -

I'm about to go crazy, I don't have a fever, I don't have a headache, I just keep sneezing, for six or seven days in a row, a roll of paper every three days, I scratched my nose, and I knelt down and begged to crack it......
