(5) The Oiran of the Red Memories Hall changed hands

In the Red Memories Pavilion, Mingyue came over before she got off the stage, went around for a while, and saw that the sons of the old ministers' families in the court were all together, and the corners of her mouth smiled.

Seeing Ying Weimian coming over, Li Gongzi smiled and patted Su Gongzi, who was talking to Mingyue on the side, with the folding fan in his hand, and said with a mocking face: "Yo, isn't this Lord Ying Weimian, who recently confiscated the head of the Crow Gang and found gold ore with excellent quality for the imperial court?" ”

Su Gongzi, who prides himself on being talented, snorted coldly, he is so knowledgeable and atmospheric that he is actually a tanhua, and he is actually in the top position, and he is also worthy. said disdainfully: "Brother Li, haven't you forgotten that although the emperor rewarded him with some money, he never gave him a promotion, and now he is still staying in the calligraphy and painting academy." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Gongzi on the side also sarcastically said: "You have forgotten, he lost to Brother Qiao in front of our Mingyue girl a while ago, and wore the mask of the moon rabbit during the Mid-Autumn Festival to go to the old business of the deserted street to be repaired." ”

Li Gongzi folded the fan and slapped it into his palm, looked at Zhu Gongzi in surprise and said: "Oh, Brother Zhu, it's a pity that you didn't see those paintings, not to mention our high-ranking Brother Su, even if you see a cheap goods that you don't want to pay a penny, but you want to sell them for a hundred taels of silver." ”

"Really? But how did I hear that he actually sold one? ”

Su Gongzi patted Zhu Gongzi's shoulder indifferently and said, "I was harmed by my own family, and Brother Qiao was really angry for a while. ”

Li Gongzi knew that Su Gongzi Ping (rì) was full of emotion, and what he said back was not what others wanted to know, so he hurriedly grabbed Su Gongzi and said: "It's not other people who buy paintings, it's his sister-in-law." ”

When Zhu Gongzi heard this, he hurriedly laughed and said: "Hahaha, I said why Brother Qiao has rarely come here recently, it turns out that there is a fierce wife to monitor inside, and there is a scourge of aunts outside." Ay! Again, didn't the second lady of Songfu fall into a well and fall stupidly a year ago, how can it be fine? ”

Li Gongzi "cut", and said while shaking the folding fan: "If it's good, it's worry-free, I was drinking with Brother Qiao during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I never wanted to be disturbed by her wife, and my stupid sister was lost, and Brother Qiao and I went to look for it for a long time." ”

Ying Weisian, who listened quietly to their sarcasm, couldn't help the anger in his heart when he heard this, saying that he could, but if it involved her, he would never be soft, and said with a frown: "The little things are all over, then let's not let Miss Mingyue wait for a long time, we will see who the flowers will fall tonight." ”

"Also, I haven't voted for Oiran for so long, and this Red Memory Pavilion doesn't want to make money tonight."

Mingyue smiled and said: "Mingyue thanks you for your support, and I will rely on you to vote for Mingyue in a while." ”

Zhu Gongzi smiled and said: "This is nature"

Mingyue smiled slightly and turned (shēn) away, just when everyone thought they could cast tonight's Oiran, her mother came out and said, "Blessed are all of you here tonight, we have a girl in the Red Memories Pavilion who wants to perform a dance, and we have invited the Laurel Girl to make our debut." ”

A bleak sound sounded, and the aqua-blue back of a (shēn) and the white headband behind her head danced, the wide cuffs moved with it, and the water patterns embroidered on the clothes also danced under the shadow (shēn) The bottom of the shirt shone silver, like ripples (dàng) ripples in the water.

Everyone's eyes have been attracted by this water-blue (shēn) shadow, but the noisy Red Memory Pavilion is rare at the moment, Su Gongzi couldn't help but whisper: "Xiao Yin is bleak, dancing like water waves, there is a kind of hopeless misery between gestures, wonderful, really wonderful." ”

In this way, Li Gongzi and Zhu Gongzi on the side also echoed, hoping that the appearance of the woman after turning (shēn) could match this dance. Ying Weimian glanced at Mingyue upstairs, he was afraid that his plan for tonight was going to be replaced, and with a smile in his eyes, he stepped forward and threw a piece of silver under the stage, and when he was retreating, his sharp eyes suddenly widened, how could it be her.

Luo Luo, who was masked with a veil (shēn), saw Ying Weimian in the audience, and was secretly happy in his heart, and the osmanthus branch painted on the corner of his eye that covered the scar moved upward, and he quickly recovered his original cold god (qíng). Sister Chang'e's dance is mainly cold, and she almost broke her sister's dance.

Then with Xiao Sheng, the corners of the skirt danced, and the slender neck seemed to have a touch of the poignancy of the Moon Palace. Everyone in the audience threw the silver money forward, and the fall on the stage covered their faces with white silk in their hands, and slowly rose (shēn) in the sound of curling Xiao, and the white silk was thrown outward, looking up at the void with lower eyebrows, with a slender neck, the steps under the spirit snake's bun shook like water ripples, and the golden osmanthus at the corners of her eyes became the only warm color on her (shēn), and the eye waves were poignant, and everyone in the audience moved.

"Good"

Mingyue upstairs smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said lightly, "It seems that the Oiran of the Red Memory Pavilion is about to change hands." And he went into his room.

Ying Weixian didn't come back to her (shēn) until everyone stepped forward to throw money into it, and Luoluo on the stage looked at him with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes. Then the mother casually said a few beautiful words, and asked everyone to start writing the name of the Oiran on the paper, and then attached the number of coins, and finally chose the Oiran, and then chose the top three bidders among the number of coins, and let the Oiran choose one to serve.

"The best of the best tonight are our Bright Moon Girl and Laurel Girl."

Mom held a stack of papers they had just voted on in one hand, and said with a smile in her eyes, "The Oiran of the Red Memories Pavilion tonight is ...... We dance the cold laurel girl. So, which three sons will have a chance to win the favor of our laurel girl next? ”

"Hey, the third place is our Su Gongzi, six hundred taels of silver."

Li Gongzi pushed Su Gongzi with his elbow and laughed: "Hey! Brother, I already saw that you were going to choose Laurel Girl, and deliberately wrote a few hundred taels of my silver money, am I righteous? ”

"The second place with eight hundred taels of silver is, Zhu Gongzi."

Li Gongzi sighed and said: "It's really hard to guard against thieves, Brother Su, you have to be careful." It's a pity that our Mingyue girl is not allowed to secretly wipe her tears in the room at this moment. ”

While they were discussing, everyone looked at a shadow dressed in aqua blue (shēn) and walked over to sit down at Ying Weimian. They all felt that this laurel girl was so anxious to show her heart, I was afraid that it would chill the hearts of the three sons who bid for her.

Li Gongzi and Su Gongzi looked at each other, and when they passed, they happened to see the laurel girl holding Ying Weimian's hand, and said, "Sister said, I can come to you after the Oiran is announced, hey...... Are you also here to play with Ah Mian? ”

Ying Weimian followed his falling gaze and saw that the three of them were slowly coming over, and heard the mother on the stage say, "Our Ying Gongzi who spent a lot of money for Miss Laurel tonight." I wanted to say something, so I saluted politely and was about to leave, when I saw the government officials enter with their swords, and they stopped one after another.

Everyone stayed where they were when they saw the knife, and the mother on the stage sarcastically said that the government had come to her Hongyi Pavilion to make trouble without evidence, and was saying reasonably, Ying Weixian and Luoluo said, "Stay here, don't go around." So he went up and took the voting paper in his mother's hand, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Miss Laurel let her perform on stage without signing the deed of sale (shēn), mother, if you don't want this official to accuse you of abducting a woman for prostitution, you can honestly cooperate." ”

In this way, my mother could only admit it, I thought I could make a lot of money tonight, but I didn't expect to be calculated by these officials, so that's it, she has nowhere to redress her grievances.

"When there was a great drought in the north, and the people had no harvest, the people of the emperor Guan (ài) specially ordered me to raise funds for the people who were suffering in the north." As he spoke, the official brought three boxes, and he put a silver ticket in it, "This is a thousand taels for Ying Mo, and I hope you will take pity on the victims in the north and lend a helping hand to solve their urgent needs." ”

The sons of the officials below naturally knew that the emperor had reduced the taxes of the people, which caused the treasury to be lost for a while, but he had never heard that the emperor had sent Ying Weimian to collect donations.

Zhu Gongzi glanced at Li Gongzi and said loudly: "I have never heard that the emperor sent you to collect donations (qíng), besides, you are an idle official of a calligraphy and painting academy with no evidence, who knows that you didn't pretend to hire bandits to pretend to be a government official to blackmail our money?" ”

"It is"

Ying Weimian's sharp eyes only glanced at it, and then he took out a bright yellow fold from his sleeve and said: "Today (rì), the emperor has appointed me as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the edict will come down." As for the 吏役 (shēn) part, if you have any objections, you can ask the Su County Order. ”

At this time, Su Xian Ling came in from outside, glared at his son, and then saluted in front of Ying Weimian and said, "It's a dereliction of duty to let Lord Ying bother." Now I come here, I am also grateful to the emperor Longen and the victims in the north. ”

Saying that, Su County Order put a few ingots of silver in his hand into the box, Ying Weimian looked at the master who was recording on the side and sat down, looked at everyone, and smiled: "Su County Order's move, Ying Mo will inform the emperor in person, master, please record the donations of Su County Order." ”

Ying Weimian deliberately said "tell the emperor in person" loudly, and everyone was hindered by Ying Weimian's holding the amount of silver he had written for the Oiran in his hand, for fear that the court of the Ming (rì) would be said to have money to come to the Red Memory Pavilion and have no money to donate to the relief of the victims, so they would have to step forward and throw no less than the above amount of silver if they were unwilling.

In this way, everyone who came to the Red Memory Pavilion for joy and happiness broke up one after another. Ying Weimian took the booklet recorded in the master's hand, and saluted the Su County Order: "In this way, these disaster relief silver will be handed over to the Su County Order and brought back to the government to take care of the good students. ”

"It is our duty to relieve the worries of the king and do things for the people, and I really dare not take the credit."

Ying Weimian pulled Luoluo out of the Red Memory Pavilion, walked on the noisy street, and asked, "Why are you alone in the Red Memory Pavilion." ”

didn't even know that his own sister was using it, Song Yun had more insight into the affairs of the court than the Qiao family's father and son, this time not only allowed Qiao Shihan to preserve his reputation but also took the opportunity to put him together, if the man is much stronger than many people in the court, but, why does she think that he will save the son and fall, instead of taking the opportunity to retaliate?

"Because, I can see you."

Luoluo dragged a somewhat long dress, and was about to step forward to take his hand, when a carriage suddenly drove over, Ying Weimian quickly took her hand, and pulled her into his arms with a turn (shēn).

It turned out that even if she had hurt him like that, he still couldn't turn a blind eye to her, and even if she was pretending to be crazy and stupid, he was willing to protect her like this, after all, the longer he stayed in the deceitful court, the more he knew the value of innocence (xìng).
