Li Ran walked in front with an indifferent expression and a clear goal.

Yesterday she asked Zhou E where else she couldn't go, Zhou E replied, she went back and thought about it all night.

Rules and etiquette are different from time to time and from person to person, and there is no unified standard at any time.

She lives in the Chang'an Hou Mansion, just outside the rules of the Chang'an Hou Mansion; She walked in the capital, and she also walked between the inside and outside of the many rules of the capital.

She herself is a precarious existence within and outside the rules.

She didn't have to think too much.

Where she shouldn't go, and what she can't do, someone will naturally block her back.

No one stops anyone, that's okay.

Li Ran entered the Xicheng tile, and a group of sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked fortune tellers came up in a hurry and slowly, shouting at her:

"Girl! I see that your seal hall is dark, and stop, I will send you a hexagram. ”

"Girl, I see that your bones are strange, not mortal, girl, listen to me, I open my iron mouth ......"

"The girl looks rich and extraordinary, the girl is slow, wait for me to send you a hexagram."

……

Li Ran listened but didn't listen, and walked straight through the group of lotus-tongued fortune tellers, and went to the nearest and largest shed to her.

According to the superscript on the scenic map, this seems to be called a peony shed.

From the moment she entered the tile, Zhou E followed Li Ran very closely, almost next to Li Ran, and also stood on the side of the peony shed door.

Li Ran turned her head to look at the colorful posters posted on long strings, and Zhou E looked around coldly with her hands behind her back, with a little indifference and disgust.

At the entrance of the peony shed, the flow of people is surging and very lively.

Li Ran stood by and watched for a while, and then he almost understood, it turned out that he had to buy tickets to enter the theater just like watching movies and dramas in the past.

The place where the peony shed sells tickets is a table outside a small door.

Li Ran went over, met the surprised gaze of the white fat old man who sold tickets, and asked, "How much is a person?" Is it all the same price? ”

"It depends on what seat you have, it's not a price, the cheapest five big money, you don't have a seat to stand, there is a seat...... At this time, there are only the first few private rooms, no matter who is in the room, let me see, there are two more rooms, both of which are five taels of silver. ”

The white fat old man was surprised and surprised, and his words were answered extremely neatly.

"Well, is that enough?" Li Ran touched a gold page from his sleeve and handed it over.

"You wait." The white fat old man moved very quickly, and before he finished a sentence, he took the hat, weighed it quickly, nodded with a smile and said, "Five dollars is a little less, it's enough, girl, please here." Little Tiger! ”

The white fat old man collected the gold page and spoke, as well as roared a little tiger, the rhythm was clear, and it was very neat.

A fat guy arrived.

"Take this girl to the Xizi private room, and then tell your wife that there is a distinguished guest, let her wait attentively." The white fat old man instructed Xiaohu and hurled at Li Ran.

Li Ran followed Xiaohu, went around to a small door at the back, and entered the peony shed.

The private room is on the second floor, the location is excellent, and the stage is more than one meter above the ground, which is comfortable and clear.

Li Ran sat down and motioned to Zhou E, "Sit down and watch." ”

Zhou E pulled the chair on the other side of the high table back and sat down.

A neat mother-in-law in a blue dress and white shirt sent a few plates of dried and fresh fruits, looked at Li Ran, and then looked at Zhou E, with a look of embarrassment.

Li Ran didn't pay attention to her mother-in-law's embarrassment, Zhou E glanced at Li Ran, who was looking carefully at her surroundings, and said to her mother-in-law: "Just bring the tea, let's make the tea ourselves." ”

The mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, bent her knees at Zhou E, and after a while, she brought the red clay tea stove and the kettle tea and waited for it, and placed them on the tea table next to her one by one.

Li Ran heard Zhou E speak, turned around, and saw her mother-in-law carrying the stove and tea set, so she looked away, and then looked at the excitement in the shed.

Like her, only Zhou E, a person who doesn't look like a servant woman, follows, whether she is walking on the street or here, there doesn't seem to be a second one, this mother-in-law must not know how to treat her and Zhou E, she is giving people a problem.

……………………

Xie Ze had just entered the small courtyard of the Imperial City Division not far from Donghua Gate, and the little Huaizhi greeted him and reported in a low voice: "General, Miss Li left the Chang'an Hou Mansion at noon, along Qishengyuan Street, went to Xicheng Wazi, and entered the peony shed. ”

Xie Ze paused, his brows furrowed slightly, "She also went to Qishengyuan Street yesterday?" ”

"Yes, after eating at Tang's Restaurant yesterday, I went to a place that was a shot away from Xicheng Tile, I didn't go in, and I went back." Huaizhi replied with his hand down.

Xie Ze was silent for a moment, then turned around and walked out.

Huaizhi and the others hurriedly followed, got on their horses outside the courtyard, and went to Xicheng Wazi.

When Xie Ze entered the peony shed from a hidden small door, in the peony shed, a group of visitors on the platform had just rushed up, and the screams and whistles in the shed were one after another, and it was very lively.

The little guy Huaizhi was in front, leading Xie Ze into the dark room next to the stage, went upstairs, and looked at Li Ran in the Xizi private room not far away through the screen window.

Li Ran supported one hand on the high table next to him, holding his cheeks, and was looking at the strings of visitors running on the platform with relish.

Xie Ze lowered his eyelids, looked at the ushers who were twisting and twisting on the platform below, and looked at them smiling, pulling the long gown ties, trying to exert themselves and being a little soft, frowning in disgust, and raising his eyes to look at Li Ran.

Li Ran had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and looked at the stage with burning eyes.

Watching the ushers untie the gowns together, as if they were a little panicked looking at the fallen gowns, and then picking them up shyly, and throwing them backstage, the smile on the corner of Li Ran's mouth was revealed.

Xie Ze's eyebrows raised slightly and fell.

She looks like a veteran who has been hunting for many years.

The visitors were undressed one by one, and the whistles and screams of the audience were higher and higher, interspersed with the sound of stomping feet and laughter, as well as all kinds of wild shouts and screams.

Li Ran smiled faintly from a smile to a smile with crooked eyebrows and eyes.

Xie Ze stared at Li Ran, his eyes narrowing slightly.

When the usher on the stage was stripped naked, Li Ran's hand holding his cheek was stretched, pressing his forehead, sliding down from his forehead, pressing half of his face, and the smiling Xie Ze seemed to be able to hear her laughter.

"It's, it's so interesting!" Li Ran was about to laugh out of her eyes, and said to Zhou E while laughing.

Zhou E took a sip of tea, squinted at Li Ran expressionlessly, and ignored her.

She didn't see what it meant, she didn't see anything funny, she couldn't understand why she was laughing like that.

Zhou E's gaze looked from Li Ran to the stage, and then lifted up from the stage, and before falling into the dark room where Xie Ze was standing, she paused, fell, and lowered her eyes to sip tea.

The visitors retreated into the background, and the excitement in the shed fell, and the inauguration became noisy.

Li Ran stood up, walked to the tea table next to him, and made tea by himself.

Zhou E, as she said, does not wait for people, nor waits for people.

Li Ran glanced at the pot and cup next to Zhou E, took the remaining teapot, made tea, and brought the pot and cup to the high table next to him.

On the stage below, two middle-aged men have come up, one holding the pipa, and the other erhu and playing.

Two beautiful young women dressed exactly the same, stood in the middle of the stage on the left and right, knocked on the ivory board, and sang a tune that I don't know.

Li Ran took the tea and listened attentively.

In the dark room not far away, Xie Ze looked at Li Ran, who was attentive and listening, and for a moment, his eyes moved away from Li Ran, looked around from the Xizihao private room, looked all over the shed, and his eyes fell back on Li Ran.

The two young women on the stage had sweet voices and soft singing, although Li Ran understood half of the lyrics and half of them, they were still very pleasant to listen to.

When the young woman's tooth board was fired, the noise in the shed fell straight down, and it became a heavy buzz, and when the two women finished singing, they were blessed to the end, and retreated to the backstage, the buzzing sound became a lively noise again.

Li Ran exhaled, and the noise raised again made her feel relaxed during the recess.

In this kind of lively and noisy theater garden, in addition to the pleasure brought by the performance, the atmosphere itself is more pleasant.

The two men on the stage were tinkling and plucking the music, and two men, an old man and a young man, came up, the old man held the piano and sat between the two men, and the younger one held a flute, stood behind, plucked the piano and raised the flute, and rose in unison.

Together with the sound of the piano and flute, the noise in the shed fell straight down, and this somewhat abrupt straight fall made Li Ran subconsciously straighten up and look at the stage.

The big red curtain on one side of the stage was lifted, and a tall woman dressed in bright royal blue stood under the curtain.

The shed was silent all of a sudden, and for a moment, the roaring cheers were mixed with sharp whistles, and Li Ran, who was shocked, subconsciously wanted to cover her ears.

The woman in the royal blue smiled and walked onto the stage with her waist twisted.

From the moment she started to move, Li Ran stared straight at her, her mouth was half open, and she almost screamed in amazement, and she wanted to whistle too.

The woman's skin is very dark, she can't tell her age, and Li Ran can't even see her facial features clearly.

When she stood under the curtain just now, Li Ran just wanted to take a few more looks, and when she moved, the penetrating charm and charm and indescribable charm flowed and changed, and the beauty of the temptation was dizzying.

The woman walked to the middle of the platform, stopped, tilted her head back slightly, squinted her eyes, and slowly swept over the shed amid a deafening applause.

After taking a full posture, he moved two steps, turned to face the crowd of spectators, and when he raised his hand, the sound of the tooth plate, a slightly hoarse but clear voice, also sounded at the same time.

Li Ran took a soft breath when she heard this, this is the so-called smoke voice, this is also a smoke voice!

She had heard the smoke a few times, but like the woman on the stage, this slightly hoarse and soft voice made people blush and heartbeat, and sprouted countless imaginary voices, before hearing it, she couldn't even imagine it.

Li Ran held his breath and was silent, watching and listening.

Xie Ze, who was in the dark, looked at Li Ran, who was distracted, and his eyes narrowed and widened slightly.

She doesn't look like Chang'an Hou at all, she probably follows her mother.

In the year when this Tao Nong had just become famous in the capital, the emperor took Chang'an Hou and quietly came to listen to it a few times, and Chang'an Hou was boring and boring, he remembered it very clearly.

That Princess Leping, I don't know what kind of demeanor it is.

Momono's song ended, and he turned around and went backstage.

It wasn't until he couldn't see that Li Ran took a deep breath and came to his senses.

After that, the singing and dancing were very boring.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Li Ran stood up, got out of the peony shed, and went straight to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion.
