The apricot building is three storeys high, the fifth floor is facing each other, the lights are on at the beginning, the red candles are shining, the street market is like daylight, the carved eaves paint the corners, the elegant wall is inlaid with flowers, the flying bridge railing, the light and shade are connected, the green curtain hangs high on the door, and the end is the brilliant light.

The east building faces the street, after passing through the courtyard, you can enter the main building, two flying bridges and corridors, so that the fourth floor of the southeast and northwest is connected with light and dark, and the west is the main building of the fifth floor, which is also the highest one.

As soon as the carriage approached, I heard the noisy human voices, the noise was extraordinary, the cries of the small vendors in the east building on the street came and went, and the sound of the piano in the building was endless.

Lu Jin jumped out of the carriage, and the guys outside the building stepped forward and led the carriage to settle down.

Yu Qiyu followed Lu Jin into the building, the hall on the first floor was full of guests, the hall aisle, the flow of people was endless, the prince in gorgeous clothes, the walk was graceful, the women in the building were gorgeous, the swallows were thin and fat, and the piano and dance music were very beautiful.

Yu Qiyu turned a blind eye to this, followed Lu Jin to the slightly secluded west building, and called Xiao Er to open an accord.

The opening hall hangs with bead curtain embroidered forehead, overlooking the whole capital by the railing, and the window on the east side is the bustling and lively hall on the first floor.

"This west building is mostly literati and guests come here to feast and drink, the third floor can be used for poetry and songs, and there are pairs of lantern riddles hanging on the flying bridge, if you can win the first place, you can avoid the money for wine and food." Lu Jin smiled and said, "Let's go up and take a look later, I don't have much talent in poetry and songs, but fortunately, with you today, I can't say that we can eat a white meal." ”

Yu Qi pursed his lips and was silent, and said after a while, "You came to this apricot building because you had the idea of eating white food?" ”

Lu Jin grinned, "How can it?" He took out the money bag from his waist, "I brought all the money from the department, in case you can't come out on top, I'm so dignified and dignified, if I am beaten out by Xinglou, it will be too embarrassing!" ”

As he spoke, Xiao Er carried the dishes and fished in, and after a while, the table was full, and the signature dishes of Xinglou were all included.

"But you and me, what are you doing with so many dishes?" Yu Qiyu said.

"I'm a senior brother, since I'm in for a treat, I can't be stingy!" Lu Jin pulled out the wine jar, the aroma of wine was everywhere, he sniffed deeply, and poured a glass for Yu Qizhen, "This is the most prestigious Meishou wine in Xinglou, I heard that drinking this wine can be too white, Uncle Wencheng Yong, you drink a few more glasses, and you will go up to the third floor later." ”

Yu Qiyu picked up the chopsticks and didn't touch the wine glass, "You don't know the amount of alcohol I drink, what are you going to the third floor after drinking?" ”

This Meishou wine smells strong, and the rice wine in Jiangbei is compared to clear water.

Yu Qizhen is just a normal person's amount of alcohol, not as good as Lu Jin, and he doesn't like to drink outside, so he is easy to lose his sobriety.

"Well, am I wrong? It doesn't matter if you don't go up to the third floor, our brothers and sisters will have fun after all. Lu Jin muttered in a low voice, "You are too self-controlled, always holding on to yourself, there are many things in this world that you can't help yourself, and it is a while to be able to indulge in indulgence." ”

Yu Qizhen ignored him and went to eat by himself, Lu Jin did not force him to drink, he drank by himself, and from time to time he told Yu Qizhen some interesting things about the capital.

The second child downstairs was very busy, and people outside the building were shouting happily and coming one after another.

After drinking and eating, Lu Jin took Yu Qiyu down the stairs and went up to the third floor.

Two slender women are walking up the stairs from the first floor, one of them is wearing a water red pleated Ruyi moon skirt, the tips of her hair hang down on her chest, she is wearing a plain white snow jacket on her side, combing the woman's bun, the woman with a somewhat pale and weak face smiled and spoke, "Cousin, you have been away from Beijing for a long time, but you have been to this apricot building for a long time, I will take you to see the excitement." ”

Wang Xueyan was a little uncomfortable with the hustle and bustle around her, and uncomfortably grabbed Shen Wan's hand beside her, and said a little abruptly, "It's that many years have passed, and Xinglou has changed so much." ”

Shen Wan approached her and whispered with a smile, "I booked a good position, I can see the third floor at a glance, and if you want to see which scholar you have in a while, let's let the maid inquire." ”

Wang Xueyan's cheeks flew powder, twisted lightly on Shen Guan's arm, and scolded, "Nonsense, unruly, I'll go back and tell your aunt about it." ”

Shen Wan pulled her upstairs and said with a smile, "Good sister, I'm laughing!" ”

The two talked and laughed, followed behind Xiao Er, and took the maid into a private room on the second floor of the middle building.

On the second floor of the middle building, facing the west building, you can see the situation in the pavilion on the third floor at a glance through the bead curtain.

As soon as you enter the pavilion on the third floor of the west, there is the fragrance of ink coming to your nose, there are a lot of low tables in the pavilion, there are pen, ink, paper, inkstone, wine and fruit dishes on the table, many scholars and literati are kneeling at the low table, talking and laughing, poetry and laughter are continuous, and there are beauties as companions on a few tables sporadically.

The flybridge corridor that runs through the east attic is full of five-color lights, the lights are novel, the candles are swaying, and the room is full of brilliance.

There are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the west side of the pavilion wall, which should be left by the literati who came to the apricot building to eat wine.

Lu Jin stepped on the felt carpet in the pavilion, and couldn't help but feel a little restrained, a person like him who danced guns and sticks would be a little uncomfortable when he entered a place full of literati.

Seeing that Yu Qiyu beside him looked indifferent and calm, he straightened his back and pretended to be calm.

"Childe wants to compose poetry?" A beautiful and gentle woman greeted her and asked with a smile.
