Chapter Twenty-Eight: Drunken Yan Tower
Ordinary people returned to the inn along the way they came, and they didn't say anything all night.
The next day, ordinary people ordered Zhao Ba and Zhao Jiu to go to Zuiyanlou to find out, and they took the remaining four people to the Flying Fox Residence, as for Li Jing and the others, they ignored it for the time being, and let them suffer a little.
Flying Fox House, ordinary people called six small dishes, a plate of peanuts, a pot of wine, and greeted Zhao Wu, Zhao Liu and others: "Come on, come on, all we eat here is travel expenses, everyone, don't be polite, what, Xiao Qi, give my brother a few full ......"
Ordinary people learn the lesson of yesterday's tea stupidity, instead of waiting, it is better to take this opportunity to communicate with their subordinates and communicate their feelings, and figure out this section, ordinary people decided to relax and take everyone to eat and drink.
The food and drinks were all serious, and everyone was very well-behaved, each of them had a round of wine (that is, one person toasted to everyone), and said some polite words such as gratitude.
After that, the nature of this joint mission began to change, the five people hooked up with each other, and began to enter the heads-up stage, who had a crush on whom, who scolded whom behind his back, at this moment, regardless of rank, no matter how old or young, they were all buddies.
Zhao San had a drink with ordinary people, put his arm on the shoulders of ordinary people, and said vaguely: "Big brother, don't look at your appearance, but you are this in the hearts of your brothers" Zhao San gave a thumbs up, "Just say that you can tame the little wild horse of our county lord, and none of the brothers will be unconvinced."
Ordinary people patted Zhao San's mouth, "Hey, hey, don't be foolish, it's called Amu!" ”
"Oh, yes, Amu ......"
When ordinary people saw that everyone had drunk in place, they thought that they couldn't drink anymore, and if they drank again, it was estimated that even the horses would have to call out for a while, so they turned around and shouted: "Shop, settle the bill." ”
"Back to the guest officer, the uncle at that table has already settled the account for you." The boss replied with a smile.
Ordinary people looked at the adjacent table, and a middle-aged man dressed as a business traveler got up and hugged his fists: "Dare to ask, but is it the young master of Jikong?" ”
The ordinary people's drunkenness dissipated, and their eyes flashed: "It's exactly below." ”
The other party obviously didn't expect ordinary people to drink so well, and said with some surprise: "In Xia Shang Wenxuan, my master sent me here to wait for the young master." ”
"Oh, that's good, then ask Brother Shang to lead the way, I have something important to talk to your master."
"Back to the young master, my master will hold a banquet in Zuiyan Tower tonight, catch the wind for the young master, and ask the young master to move, outside the door, I have prepared the carriage."
Ordinary people thought that it was Drunken Yanlou again, and it seemed that his previous speculation was inseparable, and Shang Wenxuan on the opposite side had been sitting there since he led people into the Flying Fox Residence.
As soon as he sat down, he had already shown the joint token, and the other party had to wait for the three rounds of wine here to come to the joint, obviously a very thoughtful person, but I don't know what kind of person the other party's owner is?
"In that case, please allow me to go back to the inn for a little preparation, it is a little abrupt for me to go to the banquet like this."
Hearing ordinary people say this, Shang Wenxuan felt that the other party still respected his master very much, so he nodded in agreement.
The ordinary people also said: "Some of my subordinates are too drunk, and they bother the merchant brother to help send them back to the inn." Then, tell your host that I will go to the feast as scheduled in the evening. ”
"Well, I'll have someone pick you up at the inn in the evening."
"Well, take your leave."
……
In the inn, Zhao Ba reported: "The drunken Yan Tower was built in recent years, the boss behind the scenes is surnamed Shang, it is the largest building in this Flying Fox Pass except for the city lord's mansion, the main building has three floors, its essence is a brothel, which has some famous singers, and also bought a lot of girls of different nationalities for the entertainment of guests. ”
Is it a surname merchant again? I don't know what the relationship between Li Mu and this Shangqiu is, such a person who traffics in human beings and opens a brothel does not leave a good impression on ordinary people.
In the evening, ordinary people changed their clothes, out of the inn, the carriage was waiting outside the door, a Xiao Si asked the identity of ordinary people, and asked ordinary people to board the carriage, this time Shang Wenxuan did not come in person, ordinary people were not very happy, after all, he was on behalf of Li Mu. Zhao Ba and Zhao Jiu followed behind the carriage, and everyone else was already drunk.
Drunken Yan Building, located in the south side of the Flying Fox Mouth to the official road leading to Yishui, the trees on both sides stand in a forest, the front of the door is full of lights, the rear is a waterfall to the top of the mountain and the flow goes straight down, the water vapor under the mountain is cloudy, and the pearls are splashed everywhere. Ordinary people secretly sigh that the owner's vision is unique, and this place is indeed picturesque and unforgettable.
There is no traditional brothel in front of the charm of the soliciting and selling, compared with the film and television pictures in the impression of ordinary people, there are two doormen, one of them came over and whispered to Xiao Si who was driving for a while, and then warmly greeted ordinary people to follow him into the main entrance.
As soon as you enter the main entrance, it seems to enter two worlds, the door is cold and quiet, the lights inside the door are red and green, full of ecstasy, ordinary people have observed the environment, all around are antique carved hollow beams and pillars, the men at each table are in the arms of the swallow thin ring fat, upstairs and downstairs shuttle with various colors of butterflies, a light gauze on the high platform in the middle, the posture is exquisite, and the soul is seducing.
Two beautiful women with good postures wrapped up and grabbed Zhao Ba and Zhao Jiu, and the doorman who led the way explained with a smile: "The master has already explained, and Young Master Ji and his guards can relax and enjoy it." ”
Zhao Ba and Zhao Jiu drank back from the two Meiji, and at the same time hugged their fists: "Serving the young master is a subordinate duty, and I dare not be negligent." ”
Ordinary people were very moved, turned their heads to the doorman and said, "Thank you for your kindness, we are here to talk about things today, let's go in quickly." ”
The doorman was slightly puzzled, shook his head and led the way in front, and several people came to the private room in the backyard of Zuiyan Building, pushed open the wooden door, Zhao Ba and Zhao Jiu lined up on both sides, and ordinary people stepped in.
In the room, two people sat on the left hand side, the table was full of wine and delicacies, there was an empty seat on the right hand, Shang Wenxuan was sitting next to him, and the host of the banquet was in front of him. ”
According to Li Mu's confession, ordinary people knew that the old man in his early fifties, full beard, and smiling smile in front of him should be Shangqiu, so ordinary people bowed deeply and said: "My father ordered my little nephew to follow my uncle to learn how to do business, and I hope that my uncle will take care of him more in the future." ”
"The son of the old man, don't be so outside, come, I'll introduce you first," Shang Qiu said and pulled ordinary people to the first seat and introduced: "This is the parent Qingtian within a radius of dozens of miles from Feihuyu - Jin Zhe, the lord of Jincheng." ”
Ordinary people are neither humble nor arrogant, and hug their fists, "Little nephew Ji Kong, I hope Lord Jin will take care of it in the future." ”
Jin Zhe looked at Shangqiu's face, and responded impatiently, "Well, it's all my own family, it's easy to say." ”
Then Shangqiu introduced Wang Yonghui, the deputy commander of the second seat, to ordinary people, and ordinary people smiled, "The boy has long admired the name of the deputy commander of the king, and he passed by the market a few days ago, and saw the deputy commander of the king judging the case like a god, which is really a blessing to my people!" ”
Wang Yonghui didn't know if he heard or didn't hear the meaning of ordinary people, so he raised his hand and hugged his fists, "Young Master Jikong is young and promising, and he will take care of each other in the future." ”
Everyone sat down, Shang Qiu nodded at Shang Wenxuan, Shang Wenxuan clapped his hands with his hands, and a few girls floated in behind a screen next to him, and their posture was higher than that of the women in the previous hall.
Seeing that ordinary people were unmoved, Shang Qiu smiled and said: "On this occasion, the virtuous nephew doesn't have to be too restrained, if there is no favorite girl, let Wen Xuan call another batch." ”
Ordinary people hurriedly waved their hands, pointed to a girl at the end and said, "Then her." ”
Yingying, the girl who was ordered by ordinary people, came to sit down next to ordinary people, picked up the wine jug and filled it for ordinary people, and said softly: "Little girl Youlan, thank you for your son's favor." ”
Shang Wenxuan leaned over and whispered: "The young master really has a vision, this woman is the daughter of a broken nobleman in the south, and somehow fell into the hands of slave traders, and happened to be bought back by me. The former Japanese wanted to sell it for a high price, but they were disrupted by a group of outsiders, and this matter was thanks to the help of the lord of the castle......"
Ordinary people raised their glasses to drink with Shang Wenxuan, and asked, "Who is so bold?" ”
"I don't know, it seems to be a vendor from the west."
At this time, the girl Youlan poured the ordinary people's wine bowl again, and the ordinary people carefully looked at Youlan, this woman's skin is better than snow, her waist is slender, her neck is slender, and her body is straight, she does have a beautiful temperament, Shang Wenxuan observed her words, and said to ordinary people with an evil smile, "This woman has just finished training, and she is still a virgin, if the young master likes it, she can take it away after the banquet." Ordinary people also smiled and said, "Isn't it okay? The two smiled at each other, which was a tacit understanding only between men.
At this time, Shang Qiu raised his glass: "Come everyone, today I will come to catch the wind for my virtuous nephew, and secondly, I will express my gratitude to the city lord and the deputy commander, I will first give you a glass, and then it will be our highlight tonight - Miss Yuxian!" ”
Everyone except ordinary people showed a look of anticipation, the wine in the cup was down, the sound of ritual music sounded, a maiko floated into the room, and as the green ribbon slowly fell, a pretty face with willow eyebrows and charming eyes and hidden spring under the eyes was displayed in front of everyone. Under the green gauze skirt, the white jade legs loomed, and the soft waist drove the plump buttocks to sway left and right with the music.
Ordinary people looked left and right, one of Jin Zhe's hands was rubbing in the placket of the girl next to him at this time, but his two eyes were staring at the jade fairy in the field, Wang Yonghui also hugged the girl next to him and smiled, Shang Qiu sat in the middle, stretched out his mouth to take the food handed over by the lady next to him, but his eyes were observing the reaction of everyone in the banquet.
When Shang Qiu saw the ordinary people, the two looked at each other for a moment, and the ordinary people raised their wine chains, and the two toasted each other.
After a dance, Yuxian retired, Jin Zhe looked at Yuxian's back, his eyes were reluctant, Shangqiu laughed: "I wonder if the city lord is satisfied with Miss Yuxian's maiko?" ”
"Well, satisfied, satisfied, Miss Yuxian is simply a fairy descending to Fanna"
"Hehe, Miss Yuxian will go to Jicheng to perform tomorrow at the invitation of Yan Xiang, otherwise Shang will definitely find a way to let Miss Yuxian accompany the city lord to drink tonight."
"Oh? Even so, I still don't bother the business boss, and the beauty next to me is also very informed. As he spoke, he caused the beauties around him to groan and laugh.
Ordinary people are really disgusted, get up and urinate, Shang Wenxuan ordered Youlan to guide ordinary people, ordinary people walked out of the banquet hall, looked at the sky and the bright moon and took a deep breath, secretly thinking that since ancient times, officials and businessmen colluded, and indeed left the people behind, and although the alliance seems to be democratic and free, but how can the dark ordinary people behind the scenes know? Businessmen pursue profits, seek power for officials, power can be gained, profit can help power, when it comes to how to balance the relationship between power and interests, not to mention these ancients, even in modern times, it is still a thorny problem that plagues the ruling class, unless the ruler is a machine, and everything is controlled by program, but in that case, it has become the world described by the end of the film, human existence eventually becomes meaningless, ordinary people feel that they have fallen into the trap of thinking, and laugh self-deprecatingly, which is really worrying about the ancients.
Youlan next to her looked at ordinary people strangely, "Isn't Childe going to the toilet?" ”
Ordinary people noticed the beautiful woman next to her, and said with a smile, "It's stuffy inside, I'm just coming out to breathe, tell me about the fight in the market a few days ago." ”
