Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Stuffy Gourd Has Spring (Part II)
After eating the barbecue, Chai Jin unpacked all the small gifts he brought from the Horse Mansion, which were just delicate pastries, although the style was average, but they came from the royal family, and the taste was excellent. A few people eat some pea cake and mung bean cake just to defeat the fire, and then they have to find leisure activities.
Chai Jin wanted to follow Sui Yi and them out to hunt, while Liu Yu wanted to rest by the river and get rid of his fatigue.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, let go of your heart and lie on your back on the grass of a pure land, facing the sky and facing the sunshine of late spring, accompanied by two equally beautiful sisters. Life is so beautiful, but unfortunately it will soon be dusk and sunset, and I will return to Chang'an City.
Riding back to Chang'an, you must first return the rented horses. After that, before Sui Yi Zhang Luo arrived, Chai Jin couldn't wait to go to Zangyunfang to make new friends. It's going to rain, the mother wants to get married, and the horse wants to find the girl, and Liu Yue can't stop it if she wants to.
"Uncle in the future, don't you want me to accompany the two young ladies to that kind of place?" Although Cai Yingnu said that he had never been to Zangyunfang, he probably knew from the words of these men what kind of place it was, to put it bluntly, it was a brothel, but it was just an elegant brothel.
Liu Yu turned to look at the Han sisters and asked softly, "Do you want to go?" ”
The Han sisters nodded rhythmically. It's rare that Liu Yu has everything up to them, and they have never been as happy and comfortable as they are today.
"Then reapply the makeup a little thicker, and go first."
This time I went to Zangyunfang to have fun, mainly to accompany the four horses Chai Jin, of course, Liu Yu also understood that he couldn't play too much, otherwise it would not be as simple as the four princesses "ordering them to break off friendship", with the strong temper of the four princesses and their status in the court, it would be very bad to retaliate.
In short, if you have to have fun, women must not let Chai Jin touch it. However, Liu Yue estimated that this sullen man would definitely not be treated well by those young ladies, a fat, honest, and unfavorable big stuffy gourd, and the four princesses didn't know which tendon was crooked, or it was the overflow of maternal love.
When I arrived at Zangyunfang, it was the beginning of the lanterns, and it was not as lively as Xiaohualou, and the people who came in and out were high-ranking officials and nobles, and they were polite. In addition to entertaining regular customers, new officials like Sui Yi must show documents to prove their identity before entering, and of course, they can't be shabby in terms of rewards.
Everything in the workshop is very elegant and quiet, although you can also see the young lady's movement, behind her are all with the maid waiting, do not hear the sound of laughter and scolding, can only hear some elegant music, occasionally you can hear the uncle in a certain room in the drunken madness.
"It's just different here."
Sui Yi admired, and the party went up to the second floor under the guidance of the bustard's mother, because it was the first day of the trial list, there were a lot of people who entertained officials here, either to entertain the division commander or to win over the relationship, and such things as the DPRK and China were also commonplace.
"Isn't this a firewood horse?" A young boy, who had just hurried out of the next room, seemed to be going to the toilet, saw Chai Jin, and came over to say hello with a narrow smile.
"Who is this?" Chai Jin looked at him and didn't know.
The boy said with a smile: "Chai and Ma are really noble and forgetful, when you served in the Ministry of Industry a few years ago, the next official was the assistant of the Liupin Imperial Division, and you were also a colleague." Chai and Ma are now happy and idle, I'm afraid I don't even remember the name of the lower official, Xu Rong, the word is polite, and he is polite. ”
Chai Jin said apologetically: "It turned out to be Assistant Xu, polite, polite." ”
Xu Rong raised his head, and his smile was a little more proud: "Unfortunately, the official position of the lower official has been promoted, and now he is a waiter in the Ministry of Works." ”
Liu Yu originally thought that Xu Rong was bullshit, but now he thinks that he also has bullshit capital, he was still the assistant of the sixth product a year ago, and now he is already a waiter from the Ministry of Industry of the third grade, needless to say that he must have a background in the court, and his official position is like taking a plane.
Chai Jin is different, he found an errand in the Ministry of Industry through the relationship between the four princesses a few years ago, and soon he was idle again. Being an official is really not suitable for him.
Originally, I was going to have fun alone, but when I met Xu Rong, I had to drag Chai Jin and Chai Jin's friends to their room to contact their feelings. Liu Yu didn't want to go, after all, he still brought three female dependents dressed as men, and Xu Rong didn't have any good intentions. But Chai Jin didn't know what was going on, thinking that he could make more friends, so he agreed before Liu Yu spoke.
As soon as I entered the door, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the large room, including officials and new jinshi. Officials are subordinate to the Ministry of Industry.
Nowadays, the Ministry of Industry is basically the final say of the four princes, and through the introduction of Liu Yu, it turns out that Xu Rong's father is the current right Cheng Xu Han, the son of Xiangye, the fourth prince In order to win over Xu Han, Xu Rong's status in the Ministry of Industry is rising, and the limelight even overshadows the Ministry of Industry.
Today is those who want to get an official and a half-position in the Ministry of Industry for the new Jinshi banquet Ministry officials, the shot is quite generous, almost all the famous ladies of Zangyunfang are invited in, this room was originally quite large, but it is a little crowded when it is stuffed with so many people, and it looks even more smoky.
These people are very interested in Chai Jin, after all, Chai Jin is a famous "strict wife" in Chang'an City, and this time he actually saw it in Zangyunfang, which can be said to be a rare encounter in a hundred years. And Sui Yi and Li Mi are only fox friends who Chai Jin has met, one is a lieutenant and the other is vacant from the fourth grade, Chang'an City grabbed a handful, and it is estimated that by the time there is a real shortage, everyone has already become an old man, and I don't know which inconspicuous one is placed. As for Liu Yu, who is not even an official, they don't even bother to say hello.
"Chai and Ma are good-looking, if you can come to Zangyunfang, there must be a good friend here, I don't know which young lady it is?"
Chai Jin's confused eyes looked puzzled.
"Chai and Ma must be good at wine, I don't know what I'm good at?"
Chai Jin could only look at Liu Yu with a look of help.
Liu Yu originally thought that this matter would not reach the ears of the fourth princess, but now it seems that it is a question whether or not he can survive tonight, as soon as these big mouths are promoted, Chai Jin will definitely become the biggest laughing stock in Chang'an City tomorrow. It is rare for a wife to visit the Qinglou strictly, and the most ridiculous thing is that this big stuffy gourd can only stare dryly when he comes to the Qinglou.
Everyone laughed at Chai Jin, and even Chai Jin from Mu Ne found out that these people had bad intentions, dragged Liu Yu aside, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Liu, you didn't say that this is Qinglou." ”
"If you come, you will be safe, you don't want to embarrass the fourth princess, do you?" Liu Yu comforted.
At the mention of the fourth princess, Chai Jin sighed, it may be that he is more neglected by others on weekdays, and he is used to it, since people have come, he doesn't want to smear the face of "Neiko".
Several young ladies were playing the game of "shooting" with everyone inside, and were slightly interrupted by the arrival of Chai Jin, and the game still had to continue. It's also very simple, it's a guess, find a wooden box with an item in it, and allow the guesser to ask a question and answer what is inside. If you guess wrong, you will be punished for drinking, and if you guess correctly, you can get some rewards, such as free orders or toasts from these young ladies, and the most fragrant thing is that you can enter their boudoirs.
The game sounds simple and difficult to play, and it's hard to guess the answer to a question, but sometimes the person setting up the game will give a little hint, maybe verbally, or maybe to expose the corner of the item, depending on whether the person can get into their eyes. When they encounter some difficult guests, they will make it difficult and put strange things in it, and there is no way to guess.
A few young ladies with good looks have set up questions, and some have been guessed, but the chances are slim, and the whole room is filled with an erosive atmosphere. Later, when Hua Dan, the leader of Zangyun Fang, came to set up a game, everyone reined in their indulgence, and obviously they all had some expectations for this young lady.
Liu Yu asked and learned that the original head of Zangyunfang was named Li Sha'er, who was the granddaughter of the late Prime Minister Li Zhongchun, and later because of the Li family's crimes, the family was assigned as slaves. Li Sha'er was already famous in Chang'an City when he was young, and he was appreciated by the emperor to marry the prince, and after being assigned to Zangyunfang, many sons and brothers came to visit, but unfortunately there were few who could see each other.
Originally, Li Sha'er was closed to visitors, but in order to raise money for redemption, he was forced to come out to meet guests, especially today's Jinshi, who wanted to make an official with such a generous hand, and even spent enough money to invite Li Sha'er out.
An elegant woman, not greased and powdered, walked quietly and slowly, turned slightly sideways before arriving at the room, and was already looking back and smiling at the moving posture of a hundred beautiful people. Even people like Liu Yu, who stayed away from the women in the party, also felt a little pity for her. And Chai Jin, who had never seen such a scene, looked straight after hearing about Li Shaer's life experience.
Liu Yu glanced at Chai Jin, and secretly said that it was not good, could it be that this stuffy gourd had spring?
Li Sha'er took out the hidden object, not a wooden box, but a teacup, as long as you open it, you can see the hidden items. When Li Sha'er hid the first thing, Xu Rong, who had always been a little cold to those young ladies, smiled and asked, "I don't know if Miss Li should be rewarded if she is shot?" ”
The guests who come here are all spending, either to listen to the music and watch the dance or to shoot to have fun, naturally the flower head in the shot is the most favorable, if you don't give a good flower head, so that the guests are disappointed, people will not come in the future.
Li Sha'er smiled faintly, and said with a bit of elegance: "The first thing is not difficult, I believe that the problem of gathering everyone will definitely be shot, and the one who shoots, the little woman should personally toast a glass." ”
The more guests there are, the more questions you ask and the more likely you are to guess. Originally, a toast was just the most ordinary flower, but after all, it was Li Sha'er's toast, think about her identity and look at her appearance, if you can come over to toast in person, it will be refreshing enough.
When everyone was eager to try, even Chai Jin, a big stuffy gourd, got up and wanted to give it a try.
Liu Yu hurriedly pulled him and asked, "Brother Chai, aren't you here for real?" ”
