Tongzhou, extending in all directions, connecting all kinds of traffic fortresses, shops on both sides of the street, cars and horses are sparkling, the flow of people is like weaving, not far away faintly comes the penetrating shouting of the traders, occasionally there is a long roar of horses, this famous city has become a place where the rivers and lakes must fight for countless times, just because the city has a mandarin duck building, rumors, get the mandarin duck building, get a thousand treasures, and even rumors are even more than that.

In the long alley of the night cage, rows of high eaves and low walls are quietly hidden in the night, and the stone road reflects the moonlight and shimmers with silver-white dew and extends into the distance. There is no curfew in Tongzhou, and lanterns hang under rows of eaves, lighting up the entire street.

The most famous Wanhe Alley, at this time the red lights of the Qinglou are hanging high, lively and abnormal, accompanied by the woman's soft or crisp laughter, upstairs and downstairs are fragrant and charming, men and women hug and hug, look at the red, pink and green silk, slow singing and dancing, swallow thin ring fat, short skirt, wisps of fragrance spread along with the sound of mi, a good place for fireworks.

The Red House is different from other buildings, and all guests must abide by the rules of the Red Mansion, and those who do not follow the rules are prohibited from entering the Red Mansion. The buildings are all girls who sell their arts and don't sell their bodies and down-and-out talented sons, and the red mansion is prosperous in half of the city, and how many people in the world are drunk and immortal. The Red Mansion began to open its doors to welcome guests, and the Red Mansion posted a red list today, which read: Today's new Oiran of the Red Mansion will demonstrate the latest composition and dance, and everyone is welcome to come in the evening.

Zhao Ling'er, the Oiran of the Red Mansion, is good at singing and dancing, and has a true appearance, graceful posture, and the appearance is rumored to be as beautiful as a flower, comparable to the fairy in the sky, no one has seen the true face, one of the rules of the Red Mansion: Oiran no matter the appearance, no matter the talent, as long as the landlord handpicks. Zhao Ling'er became the Oiran of the Red Mansion, which was really a joke of the landlord, and he pointed to the woman on the boat at random and said that she was the Oiran of the Red Mansion.

Today is the banquet of the Red Mansion, indicating that the Red Mansion has a new Oiran. The literati slowly entered, and the ladies from all over the province and people from all walks of life came one after another, and there was an endless stream. At this time, Rong's mother, the head of the Red Mansion, held a silk scarf in her hand and greeted the guests. "Mother Rong, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's still so radiant." Mother Rong stroked her well-dressed bun and said in a coquettish voice, "Nobleman, you are really good at talking, come here, lead the nobleman to the seat." ”

In the inner hall of the Red Mansion at this time, there was a woman sitting in front of the bronze mirror in the boudoir, wrapped in pale pink silk and dressed in white gauze, motionless. The maid next to her carefully put on her makeup. There was a woman lying on the sandalwood bed on the side, her feet were cocked and swaying, and she was holding a lily of the valley flower in her mouth, which could only be called beautiful. "I said, little bell, how long do you have to wear this makeup? Don't miss my time. ”

"Landlord, don't rush, you see the Oiran you found for a while, looking at it from a distance, it's a woman's, why did you bring it back a man?" The bell was busy with the work in his hands, and he carefully depicted it, "Fortunately, the son doesn't mind, and he still learns this dance well." The bell stopped and looked, "I said landlord, you are not gentle at all, the son doesn't want to put on makeup, and you don't need to give people some points to fix here, how do you say to dance for a while?" Our poor boy. ”

"The parties have no opinions, are you still in a hurry?"

I saw the party's eyebrows furrowed, I have no opinion, I have a big opinion, don't point at my dumb hole if you have the ability, don't fix me. "It's perfect, okay, Childe, you're so beautiful, oops, I'm good at my craft." Bell put down the eyebrow pencil in his hand and looked at the beauty in front of him.

"Okay, I'll take a look," as soon as the words fell, the person on the bed was in front of him, looking left and right. "Yes, yes, little bell, you did a good job." I easily solved the acupoint.

I only heard a crackling voice and cursed: "Say, don't wear makeup, just bring a scarf,.......... If you're like that, do we want to cooperate................."

The bell on the side picked up the teacup and handed it over, "Childe, you're thirsty, come, drink a glass of water." ”

"Sister Bell is empathetic, not like you, an unscrupulous master, hum", took the water cup and quickly drank it to her mouth.

"Duck, there are so many words, give me a good performance tonight, if you succeed, the owner of this building will be rewarded." The landlord patted him lightly on the shoulder, and quickly stepped aside, only to see her lying on the bed again.

I saw the water in the son's mouth gushing out directly, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "I said, I'm not called a duck, your whole family is a duck." ”

"Childe, the first time my landlord saw you, he already thought you were a duck, and he couldn't change it, and I told this question many times." The bell is empathetic to the son's inner coat.

"My name is Xuanyuan Hong, not a duck." Xuanyuan Hong yelled loudly at the person on the bed.

"Childe, come, sit down, I'll stick this hairpin in you." Xuanyuan Hong saw that the people on the bed ignored her, so she felt bored, sat down angrily, and let the bell fiddle.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. "Miss Ling'er, the time is almost up, Mother Rong asked me to ask if the girl has been dressed up?"

"Let Rong's mother rest assured, she still can't believe my bell craftsmanship?" The bell said to the door, picked up the lily of the valley flower and inserted it in Xuanyuan Hong's bun, and asked for a burst of fragrance.

"Mother Rong must be relieved of the bell girl, Mother Rong said, in a moment, the hour will come."

"Got it, let's go down and prepare!" The bell had already dressed up Xuanyuan Hong. "Landlord, let's go! Childe, you're definitely going to be glamorous tonight. ”

Xuanyuan Hong listened and snorted very arrogantly: "That's, why don't you look at me so beautiful as a flower." Just listen to the pleasant laughter of the bell, worthy of the person found by the landlord, this narcissism level can be comparable to the landlord.

Dozens of maids have already put down the circular veil in the middle, Xuanyuan Hong is already behind the veil at this time, the musician on the side looks at the time has come, slowly strokes the thin strings of the guzheng, and the crisp sound of the flute on the side sounds, and the voice sounds sad and earnest.

Xuanyuan Hong raised the ribbon in his hand and flicked it, the ribbon floated away, turning into a blooming red flower in the air, and then the singer sang the entire Red Mansion.

You who were casual at first, and me who was young and unworldly

The love in the red dust is only because of the hurried and silent glue of life

Thinking is the fault of the human world, or the cause and effect of the past life

All for life

In exchange for the exchange of yin and yang in an instant

It's easy to come and go, and it's hard to go, and it's been a lifetime of travel for decades

It is easy to divide and difficult to gather, the eternal sorrow of love and hate

The heart that should belong to you, it still holds my chest tight

For the hands that turn the clouds and rain only for the face of the earthly transformation

So you, who don't want to leave, want to say goodbye to me who is gone

To this day, there are still faint whispers in the world that follow the legends of the two of us

There are faint whispers in the rolling red dust that follow the legends of the two of us

The curtain covering the stage has slowly slipped down with the sound of the singer, and Xuanyuan Hong in the center of the stage seems to be a butterfly fluttering, like a butterfly dancing around a flower, twisting his waist with the rhythm of the music. A smile is always on his face. It's a pity that the scarf covers his cheeks, and the lily of the valley flowers on the bun exude an elegant floral fragrance with the dance, at this time Xuanyuan Hong rotated movingly, even the skirt rippled into a hibiscus in the wind, and the long straight black hair was messy in the wind, but he didn't know that the scarf on his face was slowly sliding off with his rotation. As if he didn't feel it.

"I said little bell, is that your method going to work?" The delicate woman stood upstairs in the VIP room and looked at Xuanyuan Hong in the center of the circular stage. This kid has learned to dance well, and his waist is twisted like a snake.

"Landlord, you wait, it's definitely okay, look, is it dropped?" The bell pointed excitedly. "I made it with the softest and smoothest silk in the silk that the embroidery girl found."

"Little Bell, well done, worthy of my right-hand man."

"If it doesn't fall off, how can I put so much effort into putting on his makeup, tsk, this look, even women are ashamed of themselves, you look stupid."

"Let's go, the purpose has been achieved, I went back and lay down, and the little bell is here to help me keep an eye on it." The bell only heard a cold voice, and in the blink of an eye, the person was gone.

The bell girl's jaw lifted slightly, with a very large expression that I measured, "Forget it, I have to work hard to watch such a boring song and dance here." This important thing was heard by the audience in the stands downstairs, and I was afraid that every spit and star would drown this ignorant woman.

"The singing and dancing of the Red Mansion is gorgeous, not vulgar, elegant, and the singers and dancers selected are among the best talented and beautiful women, just take tonight's lyrics and music at first inadvertently You, and the young me, all tell about being young and falling in love with each other. But fate played tricks, and decades later, the two have missed it, but they can't let go of each other's feelings. Look, you see, even the lyrics and songs produced are the ups and downs of the storyline, which is intriguing. I don't know which literati in the Red Chamber did it, Xiao Sheng admires it. A scholar wearing an ink-colored robe and holding a folding fan in his hand looked obsessively at him.

Many literati agreed with the scholar's comments. "Meng Gongzi is reasonable, today's Red Mansion Oiran does not live up to the rumors, his skin is as white as fat, and his waist is full of hand, so he is so talented, and the entire Tongzhou is probably only comparable to the eldest lady of the Ru family."

The second lady of the Ru family, who was sitting on the side, listened to the talk of these people, and actually confused her sister with this Qinglou woman, with an angry face, and was about to get up and plan to argue with them. The maid on the side hurriedly stopped, "My second miss, the eldest lady has specially advised, don't be impulsive." ”

"They dare to talk about my sister like that, wait, wait out of this door, and settle accounts with him." Miss Ru Er shook off the maid's hand and stared at the stage, "Isn't it just a dancing girl, in terms of family background, which one can compare to my sister, a dancing girl will always be a dancing girl, and she can't get on the stage." I really don't know, my sister has to come to see it, this place is full of broken rules. ”

Miss Ru was sitting upright at this time, holding the teacup with her slender fingers, staring at the delicate tea leaves churning and blooming in the water, tasting a sip and tasting the sweetness of the tea soup. "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet again but it was the Red Mansion."

"Miss Ru, you don't have to be polite, it's a blessing for Yan to meet Miss." Meng Yanzhi left home and came to Tongzhou, and was invited by a friend to come to the Red Mansion to watch the singing and dancing, but he didn't expect that the Miss Ru family, who usually doesn't go out of the door, also came, so she was a little more interested in the Red Mansion.

"Cousin, why are you so alienated from me, my father has been talking about it before. The dreamer and the Ru family are originally a family..."The narrow eyes were slightly raised, tugging at the heartstrings.

Meng Yanzhi hurriedly interrupted Miss Ru's words, "Miss Ru, you can't say this, others have heard it, but it's not a misunderstanding, besides, it's the upper room that has an in-law relationship with your family, not our third room, as everyone knows, I have broken down the relationship in the upper room, and you don't have to use this to climb the relationship." If you don't believe it, you can ask Zhou Gongzi! ”

Zhou Gongzi picked up the folding fan in his hand and shook it, pretending to be a merry man, with a flattering face, "Xiaosheng testifies, it's true, Miss Wan'er, if you visit the lake tomorrow, can you appreciate your face?" ”

The Ru family is a famous family in Tongzhou, and the sister of the Ru family is married to the owner of the dream village, so as to climb the dream family, so the Ru family has a smooth ride in Tongzhou, and has a foothold. I don't know what happened, and Mengzhuang didn't have any contact with the Ru family. But the Ru family did not suffer any twists and turns, and the people in the rivers and lakes were more respectful to the Ru family. Now the two young ladies of the Ru family, the eldest lady of the Ru family is named Ru Wanwan, just like the name, graceful and moving, gentle as water, talented, and known as a talented woman in Tongzhou, the second miss of the Ru family is named Ru Jing, which happens to be the opposite of her name, with a spicy and impulsive temperament, arrogant, and is called a straw bag by Tongzhou, not that she has no talent, but she is good at being used by others and has no opinions.

Ru Wanwan picked up the silk fear, wiped her lips, and said gently: "Gongzi Zhou, my cousin finally came to Tongzhou, and I was planning to invite him to the mansion as a guest, I wonder if Gongzi Zhou can appreciate his face?" ”

"This relationship is good, when you come, you have to visit first, and there is an opportunity to swim in the lake, do you say yes, Yanzhi." Zhou Gongzi touched Meng Yanzhi's shoulder, and finally met with a beautiful woman, how could he miss it, so he looked at it and hurriedly agreed.

"Cousin, although Wan'er knows that it is very abrupt, please forgive me!" Ru Wan'er stood up and apologized to Meng Yanzhi.

"Since you know about the abruptness, you still invite me to go?"

He knew that his idea of dating a beautiful woman was going to fail, and that was not going to work. "Yanzhi, how can you brush off Miss Wan'er's kindness?" said to Miss Wan'er with a look, "In this way, this son will bring Yanzhi to visit tomorrow, do you think it?" ”

The eyes that were as clear as jade lit up all of a sudden, and Zhou Gongzi's shook in an instant, and Zhou Gongzi was fascinated. At this time, Ru Wanwan smiled, "Gongzi Zhou said that he laughed, I will hold a banquet tomorrow, and I hope Gongzi will not dislike it." It's getting late, it's time for me to go home, and I'll take my leave. ”

"It's your cousin, what's wrong? You don't want to see you yet, you look like a shy flower, how about I go and pursue it? ”

"Master Zhou, aren't you afraid that your old man will pick up a one-meter knife and cut you?" Meng Yanzhi replied carelessly, looking at the dancing girl dancing on the stage, the dark light in his eyes flickered and ignored, and he kept doubting in his heart, so like him?

Zhou Shen saw him staring without blinking, "Yo, our dream boy, are you also emotional?" ”

Meng Yanzhi's cold gaze shot over, "Don't look at me like this, don't worry that I won't rob you of people, what's the matter, you know the people on the stage, introduce me?" Zhou Shen ate melon seeds and looked at Meng Yanzhi's line of sight.

"Where is Xuanyuan Hong lately?" Meng Yanzhi said coldly.

"You say that squishy boy, my old man said last time that if I don't obey, I will be imprisoned. I should have been locked up recently, the last time you left, that kid beat people, and when he beat him, who knew that person turned out to be the prime minister's baby son, you said that it was unlucky, the prime minister's baby son was also in Tongzhou. Zhou Shen spit out the skin of melon seeds.

"Have you seen him?" Meng Yanzhi immediately dispelled the doubts in his heart.

"I want to go to see him, but my old man doesn't allow me to go, as long as he knows that I am going to see Xuanyuan Hong, he will come and serve me immediately. I haven't seen that kid for a long time, and I miss him a lot. ”

They didn't expect at this moment that the dancing girl dancing on the stage was the Xuanyuan Hong they were talking about.

After the dance, Xuanyuan Hong glanced at the stage, how? My big man, enchanting, are you all doing things? was trembling in his heart, and when he looked at it, he saw Meng Yanzhi and Zhou Shen, and he was in a panic in his heart, and hurriedly stepped down.
