Capital

Dashilar

In an alley

The time goes back to five days before the South Study Secret Meeting mentioned earlier

It was about the end of the day

"This son—come in and sit down!"

The alley is very spacious, more than a dozen people walking side by side is more than enough, both sides of the alley are full of stall vendors, this is the time when ordinary people have already rested, but here is brightly lit and the flow of people is continuous. Fang Cai's greeting came from a brightly dressed woman, from a distance, you can see that her clothes are worth a lot of money, she gently pinched a thin-handled round fan in her hand and occasionally shook it twice in front of her, she waved the back of her hand to hide her face and chuckled, and her eyes couldn't help but pick up the people passing by, but the thick fat powder on her face exposed her age, and with the bright red rouge stained on her lips, it really looked like a white-faced ghost at first glance.

Passing by was a young man who had just sneaked out of his home to hang out, and felt that this place was lively and stumbled into this alley by mistake, but who had ever seen such a world? Seeing this woman coming over, her body shook so much that she couldn't even step away from her feet.

Seeing this, the woman smiled and came closer. Leaning his hand against his forehead, his eyes slightly closed, he said, "Hey, why is it so hot today, I really can't stand......" said as he fell over to the man. The man had obviously never experienced such a thing, and his face was shocked, and he hurriedly raised his hand to Ichigo, and took the figure that was about to fall into his arms.

"This ...... Is there something wrong with this sister? The man asked.

The woman chuckled, leaned close to the man's chest, and gently stroked the exposed area between her fingers, "It's okay...... The tired boy was worried about ......".

The slender hand, which had traces of time but was still white, had just touched the man's skin, and he felt a tremor like a lightning strike, and wanted to help the woman up, but found that he didn't lift it up with half of his strength, but his cheeks and ears were hot.

The young man was about to lift the woman up, but the body he was protecting sank to the side again. I couldn't help but be shocked, I didn't expect that the other party's center of gravity was still unstable, so I hurriedly took it again, but I didn't want the woman to turn back with a cushion under her feet, and the two people bumped into each other with a "bang", and the man subconsciously buckled his hand back, but found that the touch was extremely soft, and when he looked at it, it was where the woman's chest was. Immediately, his face was red, and he felt that the blood was tumbling abnormally. His eyes couldn't help but drift over, and he felt dizzy and couldn't help himself.

The woman inadvertently brushed the sleeves of this person's clothes, only to feel a little heavy, and secretly said in her heart: "I really didn't see the wrong person...... and then Ling laughed and secretly buckled the ground under her feet, and she got up lightly.

"This young man ......" the woman's slender fingers played on the fan, "Calling the slave Jasmine is the ......" and then the round fan pointed to the two-story small building in the courtyard: "Jasmine is there...... You can go for a drink when you have time......".

"Jasmine" turned to leave, suddenly his arm was clenched violently, and when he looked back, he saw that the young man's face was flushed, and his breath was slightly panting...... Today we will talk about it in a small way. ”

"So ......" I saw Jasmine bite her lower lip and say, "If you really answered the words of the fortune teller, I met someone who was destined today......"

"Mother Jasmine!"

"Hey-Lord Su-you're here?!"

The young man grabbed Jasmine's hand and was about to enter the main entrance, only to feel that the hand was withdrawn. Looking back, I saw Jasmine turn around and greet a man in official uniform.

"Didn't you say that you haven't had time to come over lately due to your busy schedule?" Jasmine said as she put her hand on Lord Su's shoulder and smiled.

"Bitch is ruthless, drama is unjust!"

The young man snorted and turned around angrily and walked away quickly, Jasmine looked at his back and spat it, then turned to a smile and pointed to the courtyard: "Today is the number one-"

"Really?!"

Master Su exclaimed, "Isn't it——? ”

Jasmine nodded violently, and then the two laughed tacitly, showing that they were not usually familiar with each other.

"You ——!"

Master Su tilted his head back sharply and said in a deep voice, and then looked at the three armored soldiers standing upright.

"It's not been peaceful lately, so I'm keeping an eye on it nearby, and I'm going to report something important!"

After that, he and Jasmine entered the courtyard gate. I saw a three-character plaque hanging above the gate of the courtyard:

Moxiang Pavilion

Turning the wall, the hanging lights on both sides stretched side by side, and a two-storey building appeared at the end, and from the upper window, the building was crowded with people, apparently full of people.

"Master Su is here - greet from the front seat!"

Jasmine shouted loudly, and several guys hurriedly greeted her, and Master Su was also in high spirits, and he called him a brother.

As far as the eye can see, there are countless pedestals in this hall surrounding the high platform in the center, and on the ceiling of the top floor above the high platform, there is a hanging lamp with a gold-inlaid disc, which rotates to the top like a swimming dragon, and there are one hundred and eight lamps and candles on the count.

Just as I was thinking about it, I only heard a crisp bell sound at the entrance next to the high platform in front of the hall, and the original noisy sound in the hall instantly quieted down, and everyone looked at the place where the sound came from at the same time.

…… A wisp of clothing peeked out from the entrance screen, and the hall boiled again, and as the shadow gradually appeared, the people sitting in the back row even stood on the chairs and looked over.

I saw that a pair of delicate little feet moved one by one, a brocade luxury clothes gradually reflected, the jade hand lightly on the lower abdomen, the other was holding a round fan, covering the face, the hair was tied into an auspicious cloud bun, and the pair of looming jade peaks at the collar were about to come out, there was such a seductive woman in the world, and the people present held their breath. The woman walked to the middle of the platform and stopped, slowly turning around, the round fan still covering her face.

"I'm waiting!"

"It's ——!"

Indeed, the people were a little impatient.

The round fan gradually fell, from the bun, the forehead, the eyebrows......

The spectators in the back stood up one after another, just to see their faces.

"......"

The crowd burst into shock, only to see that the woman's round fan had completely fallen.

Willow leaf curved eyebrows, jade mouth thin lips...... It's just that the rouge powder on the face is a millimeter thick, and it looks like a white-faced ghost on that stage, and the person who was about to stand up sat back for a moment.

"Mother Jasmine, you really whet our appetite!"

"That's it, you just come out and say a word, why bother going through the motions like this!? So much so that we thought it was one of the two fairies. ”

Most of the people present were familiar with Jasmine, and they couldn't help but joke.

Jasmine shook the round fan, stuck her waist and said unhappily: "The slave family wanted to go like this at the beginning, half of the men in the capital had to come over, and they couldn't even see their sleeves when they were slow." ”

"Mother Jasmine can't be compared to anyone!"

"Get the girls out!"

Jasmine listened to the praise of someone in the audience, and was secretly happy in her heart, and said with a round fan covering her face and a smile: "I know, I know, I see that you monkeys are in a hurry." Then "pop" slapped the palm twice, countless sounds of breaking the sky sounded, the original burning lights and candles were extinguished, everyone only felt that the eyes were dark, and the pavilion of Nuoda immediately darkened.

Everyone screamed "ah-" and heard a few "whoosh", and a few lights and candles at the entrance of the stage were lit again, and then saw that in the middle of the stage, Mother Jasmine was gone, but there was an extra table and a chair.

"Ding—"

Just sighing, a crisp copper sound, a burst of pipa music sounded, the music gradually approached, and then look at the entrance slowly reflected a figure, the light is dim, from the figure should be a woman, holding a pipa in her arms - it is the person who plays.

The woman walked towards the center of the platform, and the lamps and candles on her head also lit one by one.

In the center, the candlestick in the lobby lit up instantly, which was very spectacular. The woman finally appeared so that people could see it clearly, only to see that she was wearing a lilac crop top dress, her long hair curled with a jade hairpin coiled behind her head, and a pair of clear eyes under the unmodified willow eyebrows glanced at the audience, and the sound of admiration immediately sounded everywhere her eyes went.

It's a pity that the woman's eyes are covered by a thin veil, but the red lips can still be seen faintly. The woman's eyes drooped, she bowed slightly, and the audience immediately became agitated.

The woman sat down slowly next to the table and stroked the musical instrument, looked around the audience, and the originally restless voice immediately quieted down, you must know that there are many powerful people sitting under it, and they can be controlled by a woman like this?!

"Like tea - like wine - sweet -

Crazy—drunk—not awake—"

As soon as the strings of the pipa were plucked, the woman actually groaned softly, only to feel that the sound was as melodious and graceful as the sounds of heaven coming from the mountains.

"Gentle girl!"

In the end, some people couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts and screamed to the Yiren on the stage.

"Uhh

Everyone was like a dream, only to feel that the lights and candles in the whole hall were instantly rekindled, and countless red ribbons hung from the edge of the attic on the upper floor, and as the ribbons hung down to the ground, a figure slowly fell from the sky, crouching beside the woman who stroked the qin, and the sound of the piano faded......

"Miss Chu Rou!"

Others shouted out, apparently calling for the new ones.

"Zheng-Zheng-Zheng-Zheng-Zheng-"

The sound of the piano rises again, and it accelerates more and more. Then I saw that the crouching man gradually got up, twisted with the rhythm, like a snake body, the slender waist, the white arms, the extremely charming parts, lightly draped in a thin silk shirt, which was better than the woman who played.

The people in the audience held their breath, first looked at the fluttering people, sometimes turned to the people who played the qin, and then were attracted back.

When the sound and dance of the "Teng-" piano reached its climax, all the lights and candles in the field were extinguished again, and the sound of breathing in the darkness was clearly audible, but this time there was no one to make any noise.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

Sure enough, in the turn of the day, a few lights and candles in the center of the high platform were rekindled. Looking for the two shadows again, one was still sitting on the chair, while the other was lightly resting on the desk with his slender arms, and his jade hand was slightly supporting his cheek.

Two pairs of eyes looked at the audience as if they were at the bottom of a deep lake......

It's just that

How could mortals see that deep eyes hid the dark red of searching for prey?!
