Chapter 1073: Seven Steps
Xiangyang is also a famous ancient city, living in the upper reaches of the Han River, between the Qinling Mountains, Daba Mountain and Dabie Mountain, connecting the Nanyang Basin in the north and the Jianghan Plain in the south.
In the Great Liang Dynasty, the Zhennan General's Mansion was guarded here for generations, so that there was never a major chaos in the south...... Well, the last few years don't count.
Daliang has been established for more than 300 years, and the Zhennan General's Mansion has also been guarded for more than 300 years. There are many people who only know the Sun family but don't know the emperor.
Although the Sun family is a military position, its status is transcendent, and under the interference, no official who takes office here dares to despise it. Maybe it's hard to say in other places, but Xiangyang City, an acre and three points of land, under the protection of the Sun family, is really a peaceful place for the people to live and work. Maybe the Sun family itself will have a few gentlemen, but overall, compared to other places, it is not much better.
Don't look at this matter, there is a sense that the three parties will jointly send troops to divide Jingzhou, but the atmosphere in Xiangyang is not tense, except that the inspection in and out of the city is a little stricter, everything else is no different from usual.
Xiangyang is such a strong city, no one will think that it will really be taken down. And isn't it that people haven't fought yet, there is no need to close the four doors so early as if facing a great enemy, this will only affect the morale of the army and the people.
Li Qingzhao entered the city very smoothly, and originally wanted to bribe the city guards to open the way, but he didn't want people to simply confirm that there were no blades and other prohibited items and then let them go directly. In this world, such an unembarrassed city guard, except for his own territory, is also rare.
This time, in addition to bringing a few little sisters, Li Qingzhao also brought an additional Haoyue girl. Well, that is, quite a long time ago, he was still hostile to Feng Ji, and the undercover agent sent by Feng Ji was only exposed at the beginning, and now even Feng Ji is his own person, so Haoyue is naturally even more fine.
The most important thing is that Haoyue was the Oiran of Xiangyang before, and she was most familiar with Xiangyang, and the Ailiange branch in Jingzhou was established by Haoyue.
Li Qingzhao was dressed in men's clothes, and he was dressed up very specially for a while, if he didn't look closely, he would be a rich boy who read poetry and books, and he didn't run away with that bookish temperament.
In order to better hide his identity, he did not go to the tooth shop to rent or buy a house, and he did not go to the inn to live. Under the leadership of Haoyue, he went straight into a green building and settled down.
If the Shanhuai Pavilion is not treated by Shilin for various reasons, then the Ailian Pavilion composed of the women of the Qinglou is even less welcome. Ailiange implements mutual help, even if you meet people who are not ladylike, you can also have a back road to a stable life.
But because of this, many Qinglou women have confidence because of this. For example, even the Qing people will eventually come out of the pavilion one day, but now, they can say no loudly, unless they are killed directly, otherwise Ailiange will eventually become their backstage and plan a stable way out for them. It's not too late to find another lover at that time.
As Jingzhou, which is adjacent to Tanzhou, has been affected a lot, whether it is a scholar or a businessman, suddenly found that there are fewer girls out of the pavilion, and more and more Qinglou women, even if they have received guests, have also announced that they will no longer accept guests, and many Qinglou have changed into chatting and drinking and eating, but they don't sleep together! Only elegant, if you have the right eye, you can also talk about the time of the wind and the moon, but if you want to do something, I'm sorry, no.
That's right, visiting the Qinglou or something, since ancient times, it has been an elegant thing for scholars, since it is an elegant thing, chatting about finding a confidant or something, it is really a normal operation, but this does not mean that the last step is not important. It's not that there is no kind of pick-up, but the grade obviously can't go up. Since there is no grade, just go over and tremble for a while, how can you still come to the elegance? Isn't this about making us insulting?
So they were not happy and were ready to unite and do something. Then Ai Liange, who received the news, also reacted, what are the consequences......
At that time, almost eighty percent of the famous and well-known Qinglou women in Jingzhou disappeared!
Dumbfounded! People are gone, what are you doing?
Therefore, people are forced. Now that the Qinglou is no longer what it used to be, then there is only one way to do it yourself. For a time, the wind of raising prostitutes in Jingzhou blew. As a direct result, the business of Qinglou plummeted, and many of them even went unnoticed, and there were many bankruptcies. If it is not necessary, not many people will pay attention, and it is very safe to live in a green building at this time.
So when Zhou Shaoyu secretly rushed over, the feeling was very subtle. The huge green building was chartered and did not accept outside guests, and he was actually a man inside, which felt, eh, I can't think much about it, my daughter-in-law is here.
And Huo Feng, in order to maintain a certain boundary so as not to be suspicious of Xiao Yao, naturally he will not come to live together. Xiao Jiwen started as a missionary, although the propaganda of the Fire Phoenix Sect has been reduced more and more, but there are still many believers, even in Xiangyang City, there is no shortage, such as the Xiangyang Zhao family, this rice merchant family in Jingzhou is not very high, but it has not been less secretly half sold and half sent grain to the Yuzhou puppet court.
Huofeng personally came, and also personally opened the altar to bless the Zhao family. In this regard, the Zhao family knelt down directly, not too heartfelt.
Xiao Jiwen is the most simple, as a princess, as early as when she was still in Beijing, she had already secretly purchased properties everywhere, Xiangyang and other boundaries, how could there be none, not to mention the houses in the city, even outside the city, there are three manors, how to live.
"Why don't you wait for Sun Caiwei to come over?" Li Qing looked at the girls behind Zhou Shaoyu and said strangely.
"Still not right." Zhou Shaoyu shook his head, Sun Caiwei is Sun Shouren's daughter, but there is a little estrangement for various reasons, and bringing it over seems to be able to win over Sun Shouren's relationship at the same time, but it also increases the risk of exposure, but it is not necessary. After all, Sun Shouren will not really give up his plans and principles because of Sun Caiwei. "And she doesn't want to come."
"Well, let's get to know the new sisters." As he spoke, Li Qingzhao looked at Zhou Shaoyu's side with a smile.
In addition to Yang Yuhuan, there is also Yan Lingbin. Neither of them had ever gone south to see Li Qingzhao and them. As for Li Tengkong, this girl is a little detached, people only have cultivation in their hearts, and seeing that the cave is about to be excavated, where is she willing to go.
On this side, they are getting to know each other to get to know each other better, but on the other side, Li Xiangjun is happily pulling Bian Yujing to say some private words, and the pair of good girlfriends have not seen each other for a long time. Of course, I am afraid that there will be no less opportunities to meet in the future, according to Zhou Shaoyu's idea, this time it is just a matter of rotation, and the girls on both sides will be replaced with a few, so as not to divide the north and the south for a long time, and the sisters will be alienated from each other.
And then the most embarrassing person.
Wu Meiniang and Li Lingyue looked at each other speechlessly, what did they say? What to say? How so? That's a problem!
According to the brocade statement, this pair is a mother and daughter. However, the problem is that in terms of real age, Li Lingyue is older than Wu Meiniang. Moreover, Wu Meiniang has never given birth to a baby, let alone raised it for half a day. It can be said that except for a little inexplicable blood relationship, the two have nothing to do with each other in other aspects.
"Cough, I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare anything, this hosta ......" Wu Meiniang interrupted the silence and took out a hairpin.
So Li Lingyue's face was even more weird, what is this? Gift? Or is it the elder to the junior? I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't help but make up a picture in my head.
Li Lingyue: This palace is the princess of Taiping of the Tang Dynasty......
Wu Meiniang: I! The lord of Wu Zhou, the emperor of the world!
Well, people who don't know don't feel it, and they may think that the two of them have hysteria. And the first reaction of those who know is, oh, it's you mother and daughter......
Crying and laughing. Li Lingyue was depressed in her heart.
"Now, I said." Maybe she is an elder, Wu Meiniang feels that she should take the initiative. "I think it's time for the two of us to have a good talk, we can't always avoid it like this, no, there will be a long time to go in the future......"
Li Lingyue nodded amusedly, it's still 'mile', how can she look like an elder or even a mother. In her senses, Wu Zetian was certainly spoiled by her at the beginning, but on the whole, she was an extremely strict person after all. It doesn't match Wu Meiniang's appearance at all.
Everyone has a companion to talk to, and Zhou Shaoyu suddenly discovered, huh? Why am I left alone? It shouldn't be.
"Son, please." A cup of tea was quietly handed to him.
Zhou Shaoyu turned his head and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Haoyue." ”
Then I sighed, Haoyue was just a young girl of nearly twenty at the beginning, and now she ...... Well, of course, I'm young, but it's long gone, and it's still a little green. If a few more years pass, it should feel like a light. Well? No, people are not married, where do they come from?
"I haven't seen you in a long time, but are you okay?" Zhou Shaoyu also said casually, but he has also been his maid for a while, and she is relatively casual.
Haoyue glanced at Li Qingzhao and them a little secretly, and when she saw that her attention was not here, she whispered with a ruddy face: "Everything is fine, that is, I miss my son......
"Huh?" Zhou Shaoyu was a little dumbfounded.
"No, no, no." Haoyue hurriedly shook her hand again, and said: "The slave knows that he has learned very little, and he is the posture of Pu Liu, so he is satisfied with the idea of being able to do his best for his son, but it is just ...... Occasionally, I also want to polish ink for my son, and see my son swaying his style. ”
Saying this, Zhou Shaoyu remembered that Haoyue was actually his little fan sister, and the fan was still learning!
Sins, sins, if you really talk about learning, Zhou Shaoyu is actually not as good as Haoyue. As a former Xiangyang Oiran, how can he do it if he doesn't have some skills. And what about Zhou Shaoyu? He is simply a copyist or not, to put it mildly, it is plagiarism......
It can be said that Haoyue's good impression of Zhou Shaoyu is completely based on that false talent. The more this is the case, the more embarrassed Zhou Shaoyu is to respond to something, laughing twice, and just thinking about how to fool the past, suddenly a tender hand slapped on Zhou Shaoyu's shoulder.
"Poetry? Okay, it's been a long time since I've seen you compose a poem, but today is just right, but you have to make a poem that my sisters have never heard! But it was Cao Jie who came out of nowhere and was smiling and stirring up.
The voice was not small, and all of a sudden, it drew everyone's attention, and then they all looked at Zhou Shaoyu with a playful face.
Write poems, Zhou Shaoyu can still compose them, didn't he make a poem for Xiao Meiniang at the beginning. This made the other sisters quite jealous.
The moon is lead, and the night shines on the snow. The earth is cold, and the dark fragrant plum dances by itself. Thin shadow high-rise leaning against the window railing. The boat is swaying at night, who disturbs the dream of the beauty.
Reminiscing, looking forward to the return. The turmoil is circulating, and it is already the time of a hundred flowers. Worship heaven and earth to the spirit. Looking at each other, this fate is determined by three lives.
Look, look! How to write it aside, at least Xiao Meiniang not only wrote down this word in a box, but still smirked a few times when she was fine.
At this time, there is a chance to be embarrassed for a while, why not?
"Well, since you want to hear it, I'll try to make the last one." Zhou Shaoyu stood up, as if to take a step in contemplation.
"One song is not enough!" Cao Jie's proud 'kind' reminder!
"This is very much in line with the concubine's wishes."
"This is reasonable, when the comparison is the same, we must not favor one over the other."
“……”
The women echoed in unison.
Zhou Shaoyu is sweating profusely, and everything is out of the way, why don't you just say that you want the rain and dew to be wet?
coughed lightly and smiled confidently: "It's just poetry, what's so difficult?" And when I take seven steps, I can become a poem! ”
Haoyue is a native of Daliang, and she will not know the allusion of Cao Zhi's seven-step poem, but the other girls know it very well, and they are all shocked, is it possible that Zhou Shaoyu really has this book now? Otherwise, why are you so confident?
One-step...... Zhou Shaoyu stared and pondered.
Two-step ...... seemed to have gained, but he was only dissatisfied and shook his head slightly.
Three-step ...... Raised his eyebrows, as if he had gained.
Four Steps...... Stretch between the eyebrows, and there must be a certain number in your heart.
Five-step ...... The eyes are bright and suddenly bright.
Six Steps...... Take a leisurely stroll, and be relaxed and unusual.
Seven steps ......! Haha laughed, and then ...... Push the door and go!
Wait, push the door and go!?
Take a closer look, good guy, isn't it, the position where Zhou Shaoyu is sitting is not exactly seven steps away from the door? Well, this guy didn't plan to compose poetry in the first place, and he just ran for the purpose of preparing to escape!
Hmph, escape, escape, escape for a while, you can't escape for a lifetime, don't come back if you have the ability!
The girls sneered secretly, it's time to give Zhou Shaoyu a little color to see. How dare you play tricks!
"Fortunately, this son was witty and escaped for the time being." On the street, Zhou Shaoyu took a long breath, if he made a song, he could hold it out, at most, the level was not so high. And that means, apparently one person and one song?
Hiss, isn't this going to kill you?
"But, I always have to go back." Zhou Shaoyu was embarrassed again, no matter what, mixing a section is a paragraph, at least let's come over today first!
