Chapter 168 ◎ Splendid Tang Dynasty
It's night, and the lights are on.
Unlike the Eastern Han Dynasty in the old days, there was no curfew in Datang, and the arrival of night was undoubtedly a slow opening of another prosperous stage of sheng songs.
He stood on the opposite side of the Splendid Pavilion, quietly looking at the brightly lit attic pavilions, the tulle curtains in every place, and the carved railings and jade masonry in every place, all revealing poetic and picturesque, exquisite and elegant, and even more fragrant.
Around, there are also a lot of Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and there are many guests, but unfortunately there is no atmosphere of this splendid pavilion.
Here is indeed as the son said, here is indeed different from other Qinlou Chu Pavilion, there have never been those at the door to welcome the cheap, the end of the net is the fragrance of elegant books, and it is rumored that the girls in this splendid pavilion are all very promising, some are the beauties of the country and the city, some are the talented women who are endowed with poetry and songs, some are beautiful women who are all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some are chivalrous women of both civil and military affairs, in short, the girls who can enter this splendid pavilion are absolutely extraordinary.
And the unwritten rule of this splendid pavilion is also to sell her art and not to sell herself, unless the girl takes the initiative to be willing, there will be no guests to make it difficult to ask, it seems that the shopkeeper behind this is not small, and the powerful people in Beijing do not dare to offend easily.
However, speaking of those girls, the one mentioned by Xiahou Rin was the most thunderous person of that son.
"You said that Miss Gu, that is the only one in the entire Chang'an City! I have never seen such a woman who is both civil and military, she can't help but be a beautiful woman in the city, and her martial arts are superb, and she also helps the surrounding villagers to eliminate harm on weekdays, not to mention the rooster and dog thief, those robbers and kidnappers, I am afraid to hear this name, but this girl is not a person in the rivers and lakes, I heard that ah, there is no relatives and no reason, because she once solved the trouble for the old bustard of the Splendid Pavilion, and the old bustard is for food and shelter, and after a long time, Miss Gu is not willing to go away, so she has stayed there. ”
Xiahou Rin remembered that the prince kept talking to him about Gu Wanwan, but he couldn't imagine what the person in the wind and moon would become now, to put it mildly, it was a show of art and not a body, but that kind of place, why did she go from the beginning, it was just a single chivalrous man, the rivers and lakes were so big, and everywhere was home, but this small Qinlou Chu Pavilion really made Xiahou Rin puzzled.
Seeing that the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra coming from the Splendid Pavilion was endless, Xiahou Rin looked at the door, but he didn't dare to step into it for a while......
She will definitely hate him, but he has no choice, Gu Wanwan has no choice but to hate him, except for hate, he must only hate more, since none of them can be forgiven, he has no way out, he has come, he has been concerned for these hundreds of years, so he should have ended this agreement that should have been rushed over a long time ago......
At the gate of the Splendid Pavilion, the old bustard who had just greeted the guests came over again, and saw a black-clothed man standing at the door, and took a rough look, only to feel that although this person was dressed ordinarily, but his temperament was extraordinary, the old bustard had been in trouble for more than 30 years, and some things could still be seen, and the person in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person, so he came over and said politely, "This son is here for the first time, right?" ”
Xiahou Rin nodded, and said straight to the point, "I'm looking for Gu late." ”
The old bustard was stunned when he heard this, this is a happy person, he didn't even ask the price, he dared to mention it directly, he must not know the rules of the Splendid Pavilion, so he kindly reminded him, "Childe, our rules, no matter who you are looking for, this is the first time you enter the door, you have to have this silver paving the door, three hundred taels of silver, enter the door of this year, this is the rule, as for the tea and snacks inside, it is another price." ”
After hearing this, Xiahou Rin thought that he had already blurred the concept of silver in the past few hundred years, and after thinking for a while, he ripped off the jade pendant on his waist, handed it to the old bustard, and said, "This, is it enough?" ”
The old bustard took it suspiciously, took it in his hand and looked at it upside down, as if he saw some doorways, and hurriedly turned around and called someone to say, "Go to East Street to find the willow shopkeeper." ”
The shopkeeper of Liu on East Street opened a pawn shop, and naturally knew some antique utensils, so it didn't take long for him to run over, take the jade pendant and look at it for a long time, and looked up at Xiahou Rin in surprise and said, "Childe, this jade, about the old thing of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, such jade quality is rare, and the carving is even better, it is really rare......
Xiahou Rin listened to the old bustard and the shopkeeper Liu talking endlessly, only felt upset, and unconsciously asked again, "Can I find someone?" ”
The old bustard's smiling flower branches trembled, and hurriedly took Xiahou Rin inside, through the layers of veils, inside was full of friends, the girl on the stage was smart, beautiful and lovely, but after a flute sound, the woman in red who fell from the sky instantly dimmed all the beauties around her.
The pair of charming eyes are like silk, the willow eyebrows are like the moon, the blood-red lips are slightly hooked, and they are a little cold, a smile is breathtaking, and the long sleeves are good at dancing, which is charming and bewitching in the bones.
It was the first time Xiahou Rin had seen her dance, and it was just that glance, and she knew what it meant to be "charming and natural", she was much thinner than before, and the clarity in her eyes was only left in the blink of an eye......
A song and dance was temporarily suspended, and then it was followed by the next drunken gold fan, Xiahou Rin watched Gu gradually retreat from the stage, and went to the back hall to rest and drink tea, and Xiahou Rin also followed her.
As if she hadn't noticed that someone was coming, or as if she knew that someone was coming but turned a blind eye, Gu Wanwan just took care of herself cooking tea, making tea, tasting tea, and leisurely, until Xiahou Rin stood in front of her, Gu Wanwan raised her eyes slightly and glanced at him.
There was a contemptuous smile in his eyes.
"See you again." Gu Wanwan's lips opened lightly, and the four words fluttering fell on Xiahou Rin's ears, which was extremely heavy.
See you again......
She did remember him, and she smiled so freely.
Xiahou Rin didn't know how to speak again for a while.
Seeing that Xiahou Rin was silent, Gu Wanwan seemed to be accustomed to it, the hot tea mist blurred the outline of the little face, Gu Wanwan lowered his head, pinched the tea lid, and gently waved the white jade tea cup, inadvertently, and the crisp jingle.
"Young Master Xiahou, do you remember the friend you told me about, how is she now?" Gu Wanwan evoked a scarlet smile.
Xiahou Rin's heart moved, and his voice was already a little hoarse, "These hundreds of years have passed, I don't know what she has become......
Gu Wanwan paused at his fingertips, and then sneered, "Really? It seems that Xiahou Gongzi still remembers that you once had that friend, I don't know if you still remember your own identity, in this Chang'an City, how many famous opera troupes, speaking, singing, and reading, are less than one-ten-thousandth of yours, it is really a big play, in retrospect, it is really the world's swan song. ”
