It didn't take long for the melodious sound of silk and bamboo wind music to come from the left hall, sometimes high like mountains and beautiful mountains, sometimes dingdong like the murmuring of streams, and the natural rhythm instantly attracted the attention of all the women, Xie Qingning heard the two girls on the left whispering, "I heard that today Fuzhong invited the famous Dongzhou musician Tang Hui to perform in Fuzhong, presumably this is it, right?" ”

"The sound of the piano is pleasant, and it should be around the beam for three days."

Xie Qingning has heard of this musician named Tang Hui, although she has a high attainment in music theory, but she has seen the music level of her senior brother Feiluan, where can she look up to others? So I didn't care, just casually ate something to cushion my stomach, and the fruit wine was only tasted lightly, and I didn't drink too much to avoid getting drunk and making mistakes.

Half an hour later, Bang Zheng quietly glanced at her, and Xie Qingning pretended to be drunk and needed to go back to rest.

Xie Huayan didn't deliberately embarrass her, Xie Qingning took advantage of the night to walk out of the inner hall, and saw Xie Huazhao and Chuyi hiding under the shadow of the tree and calling her "Cuckoo Cuckoo" from a distance, she looked at the gloomy sky and the still white snow, stroked her forehead and asked, "What about the clothes prepared for us?" ”

"Follow me." Xie Huazhao waved at them triumphantly, and then bowed down into the nine-curved corridor on the right.

"Miss, where are we going? Why do you have to change your clothes? Bang Zheng listened to the tightness of his heart and hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, it's just going to a banquet with the third brother, there are other ladies there." Although Xie Qingning explained softly, the kite was still pale with fright, and he opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Bang Zheng, with me, are you still afraid that you will sell your master and servant?" Xie Huazhao, who was walking in front, was very unhappy when he heard this, and turned his head to stare at her and asked.

Holding the zither and talking, he had to bow his head silently, and silently followed the masters into an unmanned guest room that had been prepared, and the first day of the year took out a bag from the cabinet, which prepared two sets of men's clothes, Xie Huazhao urged them to change their clothes quickly, and then took the first day out to let the wind out.

Waiting for Xie Qingning and Bang Zheng to change their clothes and come out, Xie Huazhao looked at the Yushu Linfeng, Xie Qingning, who was ten times more handsome than him, was dumbfounded for a while before sighing, "If it's really more human, it's infuriating, how can you look so good in men's clothes, isn't this even going to steal the limelight from all the girls in the Qunying Pavilion?" ”

Xie Qingning glanced at him, pointed in the direction of the main hall, and signaled him to keep a low profile, so as not to alarm his family.

Xie Huazhao smiled, and led the two of them around several courtyards before getting into the carriage that had been prepared and drove out from the side door, and went straight to the "Qunying Pavilion" at the end of Xicheng Street.

Like all big cities, Lanling City also has no shortage of green buildings, casinos and smoke houses, and is also located in the more prosperous Xicheng Street. From a distance, even on Chinese New Year's Eve, West Street is still brightly lit, full of people, and lively.

When the carriage slowly passed through West Street, Xie Qingning heard the coquettish laughter of women soliciting customers on both sides, remembered the rumor that "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road", and thought of the suffering of the people in the countryside, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

I wonder how long such a prosperous era can last? If it is developed according to the memory of the previous life, at most another seventy or eighty years, the Ye clan royal family will not be satisfied with the actions behind the scenes, but blatantly suppress all the Xianmen families, and send many envoys to various immortal cities, called to help and guide, but in fact, to supervise and suppress, but whenever there is a wave of opposition, it is merciless to kill and annihilate, which has caused a lot of noise and mourning.

Xie Qingning sighed secretly, stretched out his hand to open the curtain and looked at a red high-rise building at the end of the street, which stood tall and tall in the vast lights, revealing an unspoken solemn temperament, but it was incompatible with the surrounding lights and the green building with eaves flying in the corners.

"Qunying Pavilion" three gilded characters hang high on the top of the fifth floor, which is particularly conspicuous under the bright daylight of day, especially different from the surrounding brothels, there is no woman in front of it, but only a few guards who guard, looking not like a happy scene but more like a restaurant.

"I didn't expect the owner of this group of British pavilions to be an elegant person, and such a layout is novel and special." After lowering the curtain, Xie Qingning said with a smile.

Xie Huazhao nodded and agreed, "You are observant, but you guessed well, this boss is not an ordinary businessman, although this person runs a Qinglou party, the women he has cultivated are mostly Qingqi, all of them are talented, and they are quite famous in Lanling City, even that Su Ying girl, she is not the best one, but she can only be favored by most people by cultivating a little." ”

"Oh? Since she is a monk, how can she be reduced to the dust and laugh with others? Xie Qingning pretended to be surprised and asked.

"Do you know, the Su family is also a small family of Xianmen, only because of its attachment to the Yang family in Changzhou, and this Yang family was implicated by the whole family more than 30 years ago for offending the Ye Emperor, and the Su family was punished for no reason before they had to fall into the dust, but fortunately, she was clean and self-conscious, and was appreciated by Boss Liu of the Qunying Pavilion, so that she could maintain her chaste jade body, and she got this special name."

Xie Huazhao's words couldn't help but make Xie Qingning even more curious, "What crime did the Changzhou Yang clan commit?" Who is the Night Clan offended? ”

"It's not clear about this, I've just heard about it, don't you deliberately inquire, the things back then can be described as secretive, even the Ye clan refuses to mention it easily, you shouldn't have heard of it."

Seeing Xie Huazhao's expression slightly condensed, it was obvious that this matter was relatively secretive, Xie Qingning had to suppress the doubts in his heart, thinking that the reason why Su Ying participated in the Immortal Contest was to wash away the grievances of the family?

After all, only by winning prizes in competitions on various continents can she be eligible to enter the Ye Clan's royal family in Shengjing for further study, and only by going deep into that supreme and noble circle can she grasp the opportunity to track down the case of the Yang family back then, and redress the grievances of the Yang family and the Su family?

With this speculation, Xie Qingning followed Xie Huazhao into a small white building in the backyard of the "Qunying Pavilion", the hall is not like the hustle and bustle of the outer street, and even reveals a bit of cold taste, if it is not for the occasional sound of the piano, flute and laughter tearing the silence in the building, it really makes people feel that they are not entering the Qinglou but the inn.

After Xie Qingning and the others went upstairs, a small servant respectfully stepped forward to greet them, obviously waiting for them here.

"Have all the people arrived?" Xie Huazhao untied his cloak and handed it to Chu Yi and asked the little guy.

"It's already here, just wait for the third son of Xie." The little guy nodded and was very flattering, but he didn't forget to look at Xie Qingning, who was dressed as a man, after all, she had an outstanding appearance, far better than the rich and noble sons in the city, and she was a strange face who had never been before, and it was normal for her to attract attention.

Xie Qingning is wearing a moon-white robe today, his black hair is tied up with a silver crown, his skin is like snow, and his phoenix eyes are particularly sharp. There are two jade pendants hanging under her golden belt, both of which are the best goods prepared by Xie Huazhao for her, which naturally makes people think that she is a newcomer, the first time she came to such an occasion, but she is also a handsome young man, and she has attracted the attention and envy of countless people along the way.
