Aroused by the reverie of the words, Zhao Ming could no longer hold back the impulse in his heart, stood in front of the door of the Teaching Department and looked at the sunset, and muttered to himself: "Come on, is it despair or warmth." Let's reveal tonight. ”

"Your Highness, what are you talking about?" Wang Qinian looked at His Highness in wonder, he really couldn't understand what His Highness was saying.

"It's nothing, the soldier has red sleeves?"

"Huh? Your Highness, spare me. It's not the right time to go. "Wang Qinian's face is green, it's almost night, His Royal Highness really plans to spend the night in the red sleeves? Can he, the little captain of the Feather Forest Guard, afford this consequence?

"What's out of place? Either you just go home and pretend you don't know, or you set off with me. I'll take care of all the consequences! ”

"Alas, Your Highness... Yes, Your Highness. Seeing His Highness glaring at him, Wang Qinian really wanted to die, did His Highness give him a choice? It's better to look at the dots and maybe pick up a small life.

Under the setting sun, the two figures, one excited, the other looked tragic.

At this time, in the upper study, Emperor Zhao Hao had already finished handling today's official business and stretched his tired waist. It seems that he is also old, and when he was young, he didn't have anything unusual even if he dealt with it until the next day. Now I sit like this for an hour or two, and my body is exhausted, and I must get up and exercise to keep going. I really envy Xiaoliu's energy that is all over the world, and I was not the same as him when I was young, I was not afraid of hard work and boredom.

Just when Zhao Hao was lamenting the past, the personal eunuch walked in with a strange face and said a few words to the emperor's ear, which immediately ruined the emperor's sighing atmosphere.

"What! That kid actually went to the Workshop Division! Eat the leopard gall to him! I don't usually see it. ”

Huai En smiled bitterly and told the emperor everything that happened to Zhao Ming in the Jiaofang Division.

The emperor was also dumbfounded, this kid really went to discuss music and dance? I didn't see him have this hobby. Usually when I enjoy music and dancing, this rebel sleeps the fastest!

"Where is this kid now?"

"On the way to the Red Sleeves. Do you want a slave to let someone intercept His Highness? ”

"Intercepted. Wait a minute. Zhao Hao blurted out and stopped, wisps of his gray beard thought about it and laughed, "This kid is brave enough, he plans to see all the Bianliang flowers in one day." Forget it, since he has a sense of measure, let him go. Haha, I'm afraid it's also the first time in my Dazhao royal family to experience the fun of hooking the bar as a prince. ”

"Your Majesty is not afraid that the Sixth Highness will sink into it? After all, His Royal Highness is young and young. ”

"You have to pass this level, Zhao Ming is almost seventeen years old. It's good to send someone to stare at him and don't go too out of line, I'm still afraid that he won't be ay. My Da Zhao doesn't have any beauty, if I can exchange my beauty for Xiao Liu's heart of swearing allegiance to Da Zhao, I will never be stingy. Zhao Hao laughed heartily, and sighed again in his heart, it's good to be young.

"Yes, slave maid understands."

When they came to the red sleeve move again, it was already the beginning of the lantern, and Zhao Ming and Wang Qinian filled their stomachs by the way before coming to the red sleeve move.

This time, the red sleeves were not as cold as the last time Zhao Ming came, the red light hung high, revealing the light of temptation, looking for the woman's soft or crisp laughter, mixed with a little rough slang in the market, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Upstairs fragrant and charming, red, pink and green, or plump or thin women laughing wantonly, downstairs people come and go, there are cloth clothes and Chinese guests, short plackets and long hangings, students and scholars, in and out, listening to the turtle Gong's high welcome voice, smelling a faint fragrance, giving people the feeling that it has always seemed to be real and illusory, this is the hook column, this is the real red sleeve move.

Zhao Ming suddenly felt a little stage frightened, this is also the first time he has visited a brothel. Under Wang Qinian's somewhat puzzled eyes, Zhao Ming's face turned red, and under the cover of the night and lights, he was not afraid of others seeing. Calmly throwing away the illusory feeling, Zhao Ming stepped into the red sleeve move.

Greeted by a young turtle male, bent over and smiling, while speaking, he wiped the non-existent dust for Zhao Ming: "Childe, there are some faces." It must be the first time to come, and the first time I came, I came to the right one. Do you want to find a few lovely girls to accompany your son? ”

Before Zhao Ming could speak, a burst of words that were fast and urgent and incomparably clear came to his face. The physical courtesy, the sincerity on the face, is not much better than the eunuchs who have served in the palace for a long time.

"In the name of the people of Xia Muloy." Zhao Ming gave a salute and pretended to be a rich scholar.

"It turned out to be a learned person, no wonder the young man is different. Don't wait with ordinary people, look at it and be out of the ordinary. Childe, please come with me. Gu Gong's smile was a little bigger, and Zhao Ming secretly gave a roll of his eyes, I don't know how many times I repeated it, if you really lose.

Following the turtle man around seven times and eight times, Zhao Ming came to a separate backyard. The noisy and lively sound of the red sleeves is completely gone. It seems that the red sleeves on the outside are two worlds, and the transformation between extreme movement and stillness makes people feel unreal and illusory.

"Childe, inside is the place where Luo Yi's family recited poems against all talented people, talking about the past and the present. It's not something that a small lowly person can set foot in. The small ones are sent here, and the son in front of him goes by himself, and goes straight along the road is where Luo Yi receives guests. Gui Gong opened the courtyard door for Zhao Ming, and he stopped and stood aside.

Zhao Ming just wanted to step forward, but found that his clothes were tight, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the turtle man who was holding the corner of his clothes, and he saw the somewhat embarrassed smile of the turtle father. Seeing Zhao Ming looking at him suspiciously, Gui Gong rubbed his hands and said, "Childe doesn't seem to know, in order not to disturb Luo Yi's purity too much, this..."

"It's reckless." Zhao Ming was impressed, so he asked Wang Qinian to pay the money in full, and then raised his legs and entered the door.

As far as the eye can see, the water pavilion near the lake stands in the distance, the wind comes from afar, and the green clouds on the lake are automatic, and they are in the sparse place. The winding corridor is roundabout, the green trees and flowers, a quiet and luxurious scene. In particular, there are several rare regular varieties of exotic flowers and plants planted in the column, and they are rare to see on the market. Zhao Ming had only eaten in the imperial garden of the palace. That's right, I have eaten it.

There is also a pair of jasper mandarin ducks with their wings cut off and tail wings in the lake, leisurely paddling the water waves, and from time to time startling the sleeping fish. See the past, such as a fairyland. Only Zhao Ming frowned, the meat of the mandarin duck was too coarse, and it was tasteless.

Walking to the corridor on the lake, the moon is in the sky, and the breeze is coming, which is not like the scene of the world.

Walking into the attic in the middle of the lake before returning to the world, there were many people gathered in the attic, including scholars in cloth and green shirts, and sons in gorgeous silk. There are old people with gray hair, and there are young children running around. These people sat or lay down, looked up at the moon, or talked to each other, or wrote poems with wine glasses in their hands, or wrote with paintbrushes. Each has its own behavior, each has its own fun. But the sound is not noisy, everything is so harmonious and orderly.

This made Zhao Ming a little stunned, is this still between the red sleeves? If you look for a common denominator for these people, only these people look like men who have read books. In addition, desolate, proud, lonely, high-spirited, all with different expressions, but miraculously gathered here. Zhao Ming had no strong curiosity about this Luo Yi.

Everyone also found that this young man who had just entered the cabinet, looking at this man's beautiful face, low-key but secretly scheming gorgeous clothes, some people were vigilant, some people were appreciative, and more people just smiled and ignored it. If Zhao Ming knew that his clothes with a simple surface and extremely complicated dark lines had attracted so many eyes to him, he would definitely scold Xiao Guizi.

"Little brother, come and sit here." Just as Zhao Ming was at a loss under the gaze of everyone, a free voice sounded in the distance, and he saw a middle-aged man looking at him with a smile in a corner in the distance. This middle-aged man is dressed in a special way and is out of place with the people around him.

The kindness of others Zhao Ming never dared to be slow, he nodded with a smile first, and walked quickly towards the man. The contemptuous gazes of the people around him did not affect Zhao Ming at all.

The reason for this despicable is that this man's clothes are completely different from the rest of the people here. The others were either luxurious or austere, but at least one thing in common was that everyone was extremely clean and meticulously dressed, trying to show that they were serious about the party.

Only this man is dressed very casually, wearing an original white scholar's uniform that I don't know how many days I haven't washed, there are oil stains everywhere, and my hair is not combed. The face is still clean, but the beard has not been done for I don't know how long, and it looks a little messy. What people care about the most is the man's hands, the fingers are more slender and plump than ordinary people, white as jade, and they don't want to grow out of men.

The man saw that Zhao Ming had no scruples, and walked over and sat down without hesitation, and his appreciation was even greater, and he poured Zhao Ming a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Little brother's clothes are so gorgeous, don't worry about the stains under you that will mess with your clothes." ”

Zhao Ming was not polite at all, he opened his mouth and drank a glass of water and wine, he was still unsatisfied, and filled himself with another glass: "Is this brother laughing at him, everything is dirty in the eyes of those with a heart, and those with a clean heart are free to clean themselves." ”

"Haha, little brother's words. It has the meaning of Buddhist Zen machine. Little brother believes in Buddhism? The man laughed, and exaggeratedly slapped Zhao Ming's shoulder with his hand while beating his own thigh.

"I believe in myself, and I respect the ancestors of heaven and earth. As for the Buddha, if he blocks it, he can kill it. If the elder brother believes in the Buddha, he can leave. I don't know why Zhao Ming got close to this sloppy man at a glance, and it was rare to stain the man's wine glass.

"I believe in Buddhism? Your brother and I are the ones who stole the tribute in the Shaolin Temple. The man drank Zhao Mingman's water and wine, and looked at this cunning boy with a smile, "This is the position that my brother occupied first, and my brother plans to stir up my brother away if he doesn't agree." Isn't that authentic. ”

"Haha, my brother is too careful. The younger brother has this idea. "Have you seen through it, Zhao Ming snorted and quickly changed the topic, "Is my brother here for this Luo Yi?" ”

"Who here isn't here for the Roy family." The man simply leaned against the loft pillar and stretched out his legs, sitting without a sitting statue, "It's just that my brother is not, but my brother heard that the food and wine of the red sleeves are very authentic." In fact, what my brother wants to eat most is the mandarin ducks in the lake, and there are no such birds in my brother's hometown. ”

"The younger brother can responsibly tell the elder brother that the meat of this bird is not as delicious as the chicken, and it is extremely rough." Zhao Ming persuaded with a sincere look.

"You've eaten it. Didn't I hear that no matter how big this bird is, Zhao is a rarity. The man asked Zhao Ming curiously.

Zhao Ming nodded, recalling the scene when he stole two mandarin ducks in the imperial garden to make a flower chicken and was caught by his father and forced himself to eat all the leftovers. Two of them, or two mandarin ducks with extremely rough flesh and fat. Since that day, he has had no affection for this bird, which symbolizes friendship.
