Chapter 215: Glamorous Reputation
"Well, naturally good. Because my mother's family was humble, I was not valued by my father when I was a child, so my mother was a mother and a father, standing up for things, and learning from her. Zhao Xiyan paused and said lightly, "Then what about the sister of the Su family, what do you have to ask when you come to see me this time?" ”
Cheng Yingyu retracted her heart, straightened, and bowed: "Because I heard you mention that day, Aunt Lin went when you were twelve years old, so you still remember many things clearly." But I'm different, I returned to Chengfu when I was three years old, my mother didn't come with me, stayed in Qinhuai, and within two years, she contracted an unclean disease and went. ”
Cheng Ying's eyes were slightly cold. Even if she doesn't have any memory, but the blood connection still makes her chest panting: "About my mother, about my mother's Qin Huai, I don't have any memory." It's the embarrassment of being locked up, and my father, who is a general, can't tell me this in person. So this time, I came to ask the younger brother of the Lin family......"
"Su Xian, stage name, Linjiang Immortal, one of the Oiran twins, and the head of Qin Huai's Ten Yan."
Zhao Xiyan seemed to guess Cheng Ying's intention, and naturally answered, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries regarded it as a flood beast, and he told it in a calm and humble tone as always.
"Your mother calls Linjiang Xian, and my mother calls Yulinling. They are all the girls in charge of the beauty hall on the Qinhuai River. The people's livelihood is difficult in the East Weekend, if it weren't for the fact that the people's families really couldn't get by, who would want to do this business. But also because the two of them are too famous, they can't accept ordinary people, and they are still free. Wuling is young and entangled, and I don't know how to count the red silk, that's what he said. ”
"Famous?" Cheng Ying's heart was lowered, and his spirit was up.
"There are many beauties on the Qinhuai River, and the wind and rain are boundless. If Shengjing's land of bliss is in Pingkangfang, then the world's land of bliss is in the Qinhuai River. At that time, I heard my mother say that the river was illuminated by the mandarin duck lamp, and the rouge stained the aquatic plants red. The powerful ministers who came to the capital, the wealthy businessmen who came down to Nanyang, and Qin Huai who came were all ordinary men. ”
Zhao Xiyan took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, these anecdotes that ordinary people would blush when they heard them, and he also spoke calmly and quietly, as if these anecdotes were just the mother's soft whisper at the cradle in order to coax the child to sleep.
"Thank you, brother of the Lin family." For some reason, Cheng Yingyu blurted out.
"Even if everyone in the world despises these obscene things, I will never be. For you and I are men of the same fate. Zhao Xiyan smiled faintly, put down the teacup, and said again.
"Qin Huai Shiyan. It is the flower album arranged by the Qinlou Chu Pavilion every year, and the people on the list are all famous and beautiful girls, and the top of the list is also commonly known as the Oiran. And Aunt Su is the person who sits at the top of the list all the year round, the lady and grandmother of the Qinhuai River and the eight towns of the Qinhuai River, who sees that Aunt Su is not blushing and forgetting to move upside down? She walked across the sedan chair on the bluestone road, followed by a string of seekers just to smell her lingering breath, she bounced the rouge foam from the embroidery pavilion shaded by the Qionghua tree, and under the window there were piles of admirers holding gold plates to pick up. Oh, the head of Qin Huai's ten Yan, it must be said that it is beautiful in the world. ”
"Glamorous?" Cheng Ying's heart is complicated, these yellowed past events are still coming out of the young man's mouth, she can still feel that the wind and moon are still alive at that time.
Cheng Ying sighed: "Such a big name, but he is despised in Shengjing." When I was a child, I was locked in another mansion, and my father could be embarrassed to even mention my mother. Not to mention other relatives of the Cheng Mansion, or any palace people in the Imperial Palace, Linjiang Immortals, these three words have to drink tea. ”
"Oh, those white-eyed prostitutes are dirty, those who are full of chastity and righteousness, I am afraid that they are all regular customers of Qinhuai River in private. When he returned to Beijing to change his face and change his body, he became a defender. Zhao Xiyan sneered rarely, "Life is forced, how expensive and cheap." Qin Huai is a man when he comes, regardless of whether your roots are inlaid with gold or silver. ”
"The younger brother of the Lin family seems to cherish this kind of background?" Cheng Ying was slightly skeptical.
"What my mother taught me the most was that anyone who earns a living on his own is entitled to hold his head up." Zhao Xiyan said lightly, "I, Zhao Xiaoqing, am just disgusted with Shengjing's hypocrisy, and I am not as good as Qin Huai, bold and sincere." ”
The young man's tone was not big, but it was like a thousand powers, and the weight of Mount Tai smashed the imperial capital.
Cheng Yingyu got up, saluted Zhao Xiyan, and bent down deeply, the latter watched the three-year-old woman bend down to him, and his face couldn't help but feel sixteen-year-old's embarrassment.
"Sister Su doesn't have to be like this...... Where did you just go? Yes, yes, Oiran twins. Zhao Xiyan scratched her head and said with a slight blushing face, "Aunt Su sits at the top of the list all the year round, and my mother Yu Linling occupies the top spot all year round. The other Bayan is changing every year, in and out, up and down, but this list seems to have taken root. Therefore, Qin Huai was surprised, and the flowers were respected, so they got the nickname of 'Oiran Twins' together. ”
"The first thousand, the second thousand?" Cheng Ying laughed, "This kind of bad fate, it's rare that there is no fight, and the relationship is so good." But even so, why did my mother choose to stay in Qinhuai after their respective pearls were secretly knotted, and Aunt Lin chose to go north to be the concubine of Zhaofu? ”
"Those two people have a good relationship, but their temperaments are completely different. One is at ease, the other is gentle and amiable......"
Before Zhao Xiyan's words were finished, the stunned eyes of the two people turned away, and the palace people who had been notified broke in and knelt on the teak floor to plead guilty.
"Didn't I retire from all the palace people?" Zhao Xiyan raised his eyebrows.
"Your Highness the Sixth, forgive your sins! It's really too big for the minions to stop it! The palace people kowtowed like pounding garlic and complained, "Yes, yes...... The head of the family in Jiangnan! ”
Cheng Ying's hand shook, and the teacup she was holding almost fell down.
Zhao Xiyan glanced at Cheng Ying and asked.
"It doesn't matter. Let him in. Cheng Yingyu put down the teacup and nodded to Zhao Xiyan.
The door of the temple opened, and the June sunlight poured in, and the broken gold swept to the ground, and the purple shirt that dragged the ground parted the golden lan and flowed into the temple.
The door of the palace was closed again, and the visitor stood tall and jade, first saluted Zhao Xiyan, and then looked at Cheng Yingyan, whose pale green pupils condensed into jade in the deep shadow of the palace.
Zhao Xiyan's gaze slipped between Cheng Yingyu and the man, and he coughed lightly: "There is still something in my study, first, say goodbye first......"
"No need to !!"
Cheng Ying shouted violently.
This roar was really earth-shattering, so bluffing that Zhao Xiyan stumbled and almost didn't fall.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Six, please stay here." Cheng Yingyu looked at Zhao Xiyan, gritted his teeth, and paused word by word, "It's just, here, here." ”
