Chapter 45: Gongsun Jing
In the guest room, the cups and plates were messy in front of the wine table and banquet, and the No. 3 poem, which was drinking with a hard tongue, began to sing and recite with the strength of the wine.
Li You also drank a little too much, and originally thought that this kind of low-alcohol wine was not worth mentioning to him at all, but he didn't expect that he really underestimated the wisdom of the ancients.
This wine tastes peculiar, and I don't know what is added to it, and when I drink the third glass, Li You feels that the world is spinning. It's probably because I haven't drunk for a long time, or maybe I'm not strong enough to drink at all.
Seeing that Number Three seemed to be no longer interested in the bard, he actually danced on the floor. I don't know how this ancient person judged how well he danced, but when he twisted it twice, Li You really felt that it was quite like that.
But Hua Mei is not like Li You, she simply admires the enchanting dance of the young master, leans her stool against Li You, and whispers:
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have asked the young master to drink so much."
"What's the matter, I think he's quite happy?"
Hua Mei shook her head and said, "On the surface, the young master is quite happy, but only I know that he is sad." ”
Under Li You's questioning, Hua Mei told the truth. Not long after Hua Mei came and went to Chang'an City, she was sent by the old man of the Li family to serve the young master's bedroom.
However, these three have a gentle temperament, and what they can do is always done by themselves. is also polite to her subordinates, and she has not done any work, and she has suffered a lot.
After the old man also resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown because of the civil strife in the court. The 10,000 acres of fertile land in the family alone is enough for the expenses of everyone in the whole house. In the second year of his resignation, he made great construction and built the Mochizuki Pavilion for relatives and friends to enjoy the moon and drink and have fun.
Hua Mei's description of Mochizuki Pavilion reminded Li You of the star-picking building that appeared in "Fengshen List", and the picture of the demons dancing around always lingered in his mind and lingered.
"Why are you stunned, do you still listen?"
"You go on." As soon as Li You put his hand on the teapot, he was snatched away by Hua Mei, and carefully made a cup of tea for the future Lang Jun.
"At that time, the young master was only twelve years old, and he always secretly took me and waited for someone to go up to play. Because the top of this Mochizuki Pavilion is on higher ground, you can see farther. Hua Mei picked up the teacup, blew it, and took a small sip gently.
At the beginning, No. 3 said that he was bored and went up to enjoy the scenery. But gradually, the careful flower girl found that he seemed to be a little obsessed, forgetting to sleep and eating, guarding the Moon Pavilion every day, and not thinking about tea.
"What did he look at?" Li You was a little sleepy when he heard it, and as soon as he heard that things had taken a turn, he hurriedly asked.
"Don't interrupt me, listen to me slowly."
Later, Hua Mei was worried that No. 3 would collapse like this, so she secretly told the old man about it. And Master Li has eaten and seen it, and before he even came out of the door, he knew his son's thoughts.
Then he ordered his subordinates to secretly lock the Mochizuki Pavilion at night. Seeing that the door was locked, No. 3 made a fuss, and the old man beat him up in a fit of anger, and No. 3's mother also fell seriously ill because of this incident.
"From that day on, the young master was silent, until the adults forced him to get married, and he finally escaped."
Li You looked at Hua Mei's cheeks crimson, which made people pity, and wanted to reach out and touch it, but he always felt awkward. Looking back at Three, he found that he had fallen drunk on the ground at some point, muttering to himself.
The two of them helped No. 3 back to his room, and Li You followed Hua Mei back, on the way he seemed to think of something, and asked Hua Mei: "Did you say that he saw a beautiful woman on that Moon Pavilion?" ”
"Young master, not only saw a beautiful woman, but also a dusty woman."
"Wouldn't he, he has a crush on a chicken?" Li You felt a little unacceptable, but when he thought about it, it did make some sense.
Hua Mei returned to the room and continued to explain these things to Li You, she said that she was quite surprised when she learned about it. But later, after seeing that woman, I knew what a stunner in the world was.
This ancient prostitute is not the kind of skilled female worker who holds her head and covers her face and does not allow her to take pictures.
In ancient times, these Qinglou women basically had a skill, not a passable appearance and figure. For example, he has attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; or being able to sing and dance is an indispensable ability.
But there is no shortage of those who can't do anything, but they can always pick out the advantages.
This kind of high-end Qinglou woman, the guests she receives, can't be idle. If you can't answer the three sentences, the guests themselves have to run out with a blushing face, and the money spent before is wasted.
And No. 3 is the best in the advanced category, that is, the top card, which is also called Oiran in later generations. This woman's name is Gongsun Jing, what she is best at is sword dancing, Hua Mei heard other people in the house say that she seems to have some punches and kicks, and there is also a little bit of meaning between one move and one style.
"That's not it, I don't think your young master's ability to bear it is so bad." Li You said suspiciously.
And Hua Mei sighed: "The young master is here just now, I can't explain it to you, in fact, there is a later story." ”
When the old man found out that his eldest son was infatuated with Gongsun Jing, he first locked the Moon Pavilion, and then he didn't know what means he used to deal with Gongsun Jing, and since the day of the fight, she has disappeared without a trace.
"Gone? What do you mean by that? ”
"It's just gone, and no one knows what's going on. But I feel that it may be an adult to ......" After speaking, Hua Mei used her fingers to compare her neck, and then scratched it.
Li You took off his broken leather boots, opened his mouth and said, "If you say so, I'm afraid that the young master of your family has also guessed a thing or two." ”
"Why do your feet stink so much?" Hua Mei pinched her nose with a look of disgust, and then walked under the bed and turned out the wooden basin, "I'll go get water for you to wash your feet." ”
After a while, Hua Mei walked up to Li You with a basin, leaned down and planned to wash Li You's feet.
"I'd better do it myself, I'm not used to it." Although Li You said it very sincerely, Sister Hua did not stop her movements and carefully washed him.
At such a moment, Li You really didn't want to leave here, and the feeling of being served was something he had never experienced. In the warm water, there were bursts of medicinal fragrance, which made Li You's cloudy head extremely clear.
After being refreshed, sleepiness hit, and he fell into a deep sleep while lying on the bed. In the past few days, I was busy running around, and I slept until dawn every day, but in the past two days, my spirit has also been sufficient, and I fell asleep and began to dream.
In the dream, Li You was walking on a pitch-black street, and there were two red lights flashing not far away. As I progressed, I found out that there were two big red lanterns.
On the wooden gate, there is also a red word on it, and it seems that someone should be married. After looking around, there was silence, only there was some light here, and after hesitating for a long time, he pushed the door and entered.
As soon as the door opened, the first thing that caught his eye was a woman wearing a red robe with a red hijab on her head, standing directly opposite, still waving to him.
Li You swallowed, walked slowly in front of the woman, and stretched out his hand to the red hijab with some trepidation. But I suddenly thought that I was not a groom, so it was a bit unsophisticated to do this.
Suddenly, the hand hanging in the air was clamped by the woman, and he wanted to break free, but the woman had great strength. In his terror, the woman grabbed the red hijab on his head and pulled it down.
Li You looked at the face of the woman in front of him and froze.
