Chapter 42: Re-ascending the City of Smoke and Rain

"Ha, the little waste will only rely on the power of the family. ”

"This Yancheng only appeared in this Dark Willow Pavilion on the first day, presumably I came by myself, it just so happens that I am not in a good mood today, uncle, let me see what level you have in this Yancheng No. 1. ”

Gu Shun had long been accustomed to all this, so he didn't move in place, savoring the tune that Liu Niang had just played.

The crowd kept surging, and the noise intensified, and it seemed that everyone present pointed the finger at Gu Shun.

Liu Niang saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with Gu Shun's son, in fact, it is because the concubine is unwell, and it is inconvenient to entertain you. ”

After speaking, he said a blessing to the guests.

The guests suddenly felt uneasy, but they all said politely: "Since Liu Niang said so, forget it." ”

"Liu Niang's performance today can be said to be an eye-opener, the three-month flower viewing conference is really worthy of its name, and I will come back next time. ”

There are also guests grinding and chirping, complaining in the back, a middle-aged man with a rich body and a silk Luo walked out and said: "Flower appreciation conference, I am waiting for Liu Niang's fame, and now Liu Niang wants to leave lightly and skillfully, I'm afraid I can't." ”

As he spoke, he took out a platinum tiger bracelet from his hand: "The contemptible people are willing to use this bracelet to ask Liu Niang to present another song." ”

This platinum tiger bracelet is exquisitely made, engraved with simple words, and glows with a layer of bright light, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a treasure of human cultivation, and then Gu Shun can't help but take a closer look at this middle-aged man.

At this time, someone recognized this middle-aged man and said in a low voice: "This is Murong Yunsheng, a big high-roller from the capital, who is a person who can't be provoked." ”

Liu Niang glanced at Murong Yunsheng, nodded and said: "Since Boss Murong said, Liu Niang didn't dare to take the platinum tiger bracelet, and it was already like this, Liu Niang had to dare to sacrifice ugliness, and then present a song for you, please don't hesitate to give advice." ”

At this time, Murong Yunsheng nodded, handed the platinum tiger bracelet to a servant, and said, "What I Murong Yunsheng gave out, there is never a reason to take it back, Liu Niang, please." ”

Everyone praised one after another, saying that Liu Niang was really a double talent.

Liu Niang straightened her temples at this time, and said a few words to a beautiful maid beside her, and the maid hurriedly entered after listening, and brought a handful of exquisite simple pipa and handed it to Liu Niang, and the maid herself took out a handful of emerald jade flute.

Liu Niang smiled slightly, her white and slender fingers crossed the pipa, and then, a beautiful melody came out of the jade flute.

With the sound of the pipa, Liu Niang's sideburns also spread out, and her long hair fell quietly like a waterfall, and fell straight to the corner of the loose skirt.

At the same time, the maid took the emerald jade flute and stretched it to her bright red lips, making a moving harmony.

Liu Niang's pair of jade hands stretched out from her sleeves, like white lotus and green jade, and she sang Wen Tingyun's popular "More Leaks":

"The jade furnace incense, the red wax tears, the autumn thoughts of the painting hall. The eyebrows are thin, the temples are cloudy, and the night is long and cold.

Sycamore rain, three more rain, not from sorrow and suffering. Night after night, with a sound, the empty steps dripped clear. ”

But seeing Liu Niang's eyebrows swiping, her lips moved slightly, and the slightly raised arc at the corner of her mouth seemed to contain spring, and then Liu Niang's eyes were tactful, full of style, which made people forget their worries.

With the sound of Liu Niang's pipa, the women dancing in front of them also danced, the light yarn wrapped around their white and delicate calves, and every time they danced a dance step, the silver bells tied to their ankles jingled, and they also made a crisp and pleasant bell with the dance steps.

After Liu Niang finished playing the song, she handed the pipa to the surrounding girls, and said to everyone: "Wait a minute, there are other wonderful singing and dancing programs, and there are several good dancing women from the wind capital to perform for your distinguished guests. ”

Everyone heard that there would be singing and dancing, so they responded one after another, plus tomorrow's Oiran competition, everyone's heart was even more hanging, at this time, a group of warblers and swallows came in, and the guests were appeased.

In the blink of an eye, the Dark Willow Pavilion began to get busy again.

Liu Niangfang walked up to Gu Shun and Lao He, her lips opened lightly, and she asked softly: "What a rare guest, what kind of wind is blowing you here?" One is the son of the five major families, and the other is the archdeacon of the Lingyun Society, it is really rare for you to be together. ”

I only felt that Liu Niang was exhaling like an orchid, and Gu Shun suddenly blushed with shame and looked at Lao He.

Lao He was very generous: "Liu Niang, I came with Gu Gongzi today to find you for something." ”

Liu Niang looked around and said, "It's inconvenient to talk here, I'll take you to a secluded place to sit down and talk slowly." ”

At that moment, Liu Niang, as the lead, led Lao He and Gu Shun around the hall and walked towards the backyard.

After coming out, enter the backyard and pass through an alley through the backyard door to a villa.

As soon as they approached the gate of the garden, someone had already seen Liu Niang and them, so someone came out to greet them, and took them in, only to see the small bridge and flowing water in the garden, the pavilion and the water pavilion, the scenery is extremely beautiful, and the dark willow pavilion just now is very different.

Next, Gu Shun and the others followed Liu Niang and walked a few more steps, and then came to a palace.

I saw that around this palace, an ancient tree towers to the sky, green trees are shady, red walls and yellow tiles, and it looks brilliant.

Gu Shun said in his heart: "This is not to the palace inside, there should be no such place in Yancheng." ”

looked at it, and then thought of "The Dark Willow Pavilion is so magnificent, who knew that the inconspicuous-looking Dark Willow Pavilion covers an area of more than ten acres, even if it is the century-old industry of the five major families, it is only so ......"

Liu Niang seemed to see through Gu Shun's thoughts, and said coquettishly: "Gu Gongzi, in fact, this is no longer the Dark Willow Pavilion. ”

Lao He looked at this place, and also said strangely: "Liu Niang, why did you mobilize the people today and bring us here, we just have something to ask for, did you bring us to the wrong place?"

Liu Niang didn't answer, just shook her head, and said softly: "He Li, Gu Gongzi, you come with me, you will know when you come." ”

I saw Liu Niang take Lao He and Gu Shun into the palace, only to see that this palace is gorgeous, the interior is made of good sandalwood in the south, the crystal jade is the lamp, the South China Sea pearl string is the curtain, and the gold painting building is the pillar base.

After walking a few steps, Gu Shun felt that something was not right, as if he had entered the dormitory of a certain palace, he looked at Lao He suspiciously, and thought, is it not Lao He who used a trick here, we have already arrived in the capital? But Lao He also looked nervous, looking around, it seemed that it was the first time to come.

After a while, I arrived at a warm pavilion, only to see two maids standing outside the warm pavilion, nodded to them, and took them in, only to see a six-foot-wide agarwood bed, and there was a shark silk treasure luo tent hanging next to the bed, and the tent was embroidered with pearls and silver thread begonia flowers.

The window of the warm pavilion opened a crack, the wind moved, the white curtains around the tent fluttered, and people stood between the curtains, like falling clouds and mountains and a phantom sea.

Although there is no candlelight in the warm pavilion, there is a huge bright moon pearl hanging on the beam above the bed, shining brightly, illuminating the entire warm pavilion like a bright moon.

Look at the couch of the warm pavilion over there, but it is empty, there are green jade incense pillows on the couch, covered with soft silkworm ice sticks, and stacked with Luo Ji, Gu Shun wondered where the people on this couch had gone.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from behind the bed, and I saw a richly dressed maid walking out and asking, "Liu Niang is here?"
