Gu Shun stood at the door, not wanting to go in, their Gu family is a family with a head and a face in Yancheng, if he goes to this kind of place at his age, he will definitely be chewed by people.

Not to mention him, even Li Yuan, who yearns to be a gentleman, has never been to this land of wind and snow.

Lao He understood his thoughts, shook his head and said, "If you stand here again, then soon half of the people in Yancheng will know, and you will also know how many people are watching you along the way." ”

"Do you have to go in?"

"Take the side door. ”

So, Lao He pulled Gu Shun into an alley on the side of the Dark Willow Pavilion, walked a few corners in a row, and entered a noodle restaurant.

The owner of the noodle shop smiled and walked towards him.

Lao He waved his hand and said, "Borrow the way." ”

The boss nodded, didn't speak, and took Lao He and Gu Shun to the back, lifted a curtain, and let them in.

Lao He said to Gu Shun as he walked: "Don't think there's anything wrong with the Qinglou, in fact, a long time ago, when your major families had a meeting, they also used to meet in the Dark Willow Pavilion, not only the literati love to drink flower wine, in fact, the cultivators also like the environment here, have you heard the story of Lu Dongbin?"

Gu Shun's face turned crimson, and he whispered, "Boss, it seems that you guys have made a lot of money selling noodles." And it looks like the owner of this place knows you, and you're a regular customer who comes here often?"

Lao He smiled: "How dare you, it's just that the boss here is just a good person." ”

Gu Shun frowned slightly, because he heard a name from Lao He's mouth that he didn't want to hear, Liu Niang.

When Gu Shun was still the first day in Yancheng, Liu Niang was one of the few people who paid the most attention to him, even in his own room, he was inevitably peeped at by Liu Niang's divine sense, although he had never met, but judging from Gu Shun's temperament, he was already very disgusted with Liu Niang.

After the curtain and walk for a while, it is a secret door, Lao He pressed a bulge on the door with his right hand, pressed it three times, and twisted it to the right, the door opened, and there was a lively scene of warblers and swallows inside.

Gu Shun only felt that someone behind him pushed with his hand, and he followed Lao He in, he looked back, the owner of the noodle restaurant looked at him with a smile that you know, Gu Shun could only respond to him with an embarrassed smile.

Lao He pulled Gu Shun and said with a smile: "The Dark Willow Pavilion is actually a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and I will take you to see it today." ”

Gu Shun followed behind Lao He, and observed carefully, only to see that the fragrance here was fragrant, not a gentle country flavor.

From the outside, the building looks like it's three stories high, and when you enter, it seems like another world, with women with light veils and wings, and lingering with guests.

Large teapots and waiters are interspersed, serving tea and water, and hot towels and snacks are sent in and out non-stop.

Behind the countless carved hollow windows, with the lingering whispering of her daughter, the pink light gauze is charming in the dance, a woman in the hall is dressed in red makeup, and the rich fragrance of graceful dancing comes to the face, and the guests are gathered in one place, as if waiting for someone.

Then, in the center of the hall, a few light cigarettes were lit, and a white light veil was pulled up, as if some performance was about to begin.

In the blink of an eye, several lights and candles in the hall were extinguished, but a few lights were lit behind the white veil, and the guests gathered even tighter.

At this time, I saw that behind the light veil, there seemed to be three young women walking in, and several shadows could be seen in the haze, with graceful figures, different postures, and thousands of styles, and the guests began to cheer in a low voice.

Then the three women began to twist their waists, this dance was not like the Central Plains dance, it looked like a snake dancing, enchanting and charming, and there was no exotic charm.

Gu Shun's face was dry, and he looked at Lao He, but his expression was calm, and when he noticed Gu Shun's gaze, Lao He smiled faintly.

Then, the light yarn was pulled apart, and I saw that the three women were only wearing a few light yarns after the light yarn without any more strands, and naturally, they came out of it.

Under a closer look, these three women, all with willow eyebrows and charming eyes, have hidden spring in their eyes, and smile at the guests in the hall, with graceful postures and seductive souls.

This kind of situation, but Gu Shun didn't expect it, and he couldn't help but be confused and shaken.

"Have you seen enough? ”

Lao He pulled him and turned to the center from the crowded hall, Gu Shun felt that Lao He seemed to be waiting for someone, and he didn't seem to have taken another look at these women, and the guests in the hall seemed to be calm after a little noise.

Oh, but listening to the sound of plucking strings coming from upstairs, it seems that the clear water is pouring into the heart and spleen from the top of the head in the middle of summer.

Then, the sound of the piano sounded leisurely, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, suddenly like a swallow returning to the nest, in this noisy hall like a stone into the water, an indescribable emptiness and agility, so that the whole hall fell silent all of a sudden.

Only then did Gu Shun realize that just behind the light veil, a landscape screen had already been carried into the center and stood horizontally, and the sound of the piano came from behind the screen.

The sound of the piano suddenly paused, and the strings trembled slightly, which was provocative.

As soon as the lights on all sides turned on, I looked closely, and the original screen slowly turned away, and I only heard a woman's beautiful voice singing:

"Flowers bloom differently, flowers fall differently.

If you want to ask about the lovesickness, when the flowers bloom and fall.

The grass knot is concentric, and it will be a bosom friend.

Spring sorrow is being cut off, and the spring bird is mourning again.

The wind and flowers will be old, and the good time is still slim.

Don't tie the same heart, empty knot the same heart.

It is full of flowers and branches, turning into two loves.

The jade chopsticks hang down to the mirror, and the spring breeze does not know. ”

After a few seconds, some people began to clap their hands, followed by warm applause.

An old man twisted his beard and said: "Liu Niang's song "Spring Words" sings the feelings of spring in the lyrics and songs to the fullest, wonderful, and it is not in vain to wait for this half day." ”

The other guests on the side also nodded yes.

At this time, the screen has been removed, and the person who plays the piano has appeared in front of everyone, wearing a red veil, sitting in front of the desk, caressing the piano and lowering his eyes, faintly glimpsing, like a fairy.

But seeing her two eyebrows, a little red lips, just the right sweet and bewitching face, occasionally stroking the piano, the wonderful sound repeatedly, I couldn't help but make the surrounding audience confused, unconsciously lost the direction.

Suddenly, there was a "ding" sound, and I saw that the plain white five fingers on the string somehow stopped on the string.

But it was only a momentary thing, in the blink of an eye, Liu Niang's ten fingers flew, and the intoxicating sound of the piano popped out from the fingertips, spewing out from the strings like an ocean into the sea, like a clear spring waterfall flowing into the ears, which was intoxicating.

Lao He stood among the guests, staring at Liu Niang, as if he had fallen into a memory.

Liu Niang also raised her head at this time, just in time to meet Gu Shun's gaze, and saw Lao He beside Gu Shun again.

Liu Niang was shocked, and the sound of the piano paused, so she couldn't play anymore.

Liu Niang simply stopped the piano, stood up, said a blessing to the guests, and said: "The concubine suddenly had something to do today, and it is inconvenient to play, I apologize to you, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

Everyone said it was a pity, I don't know why Liu Niang stopped the piano, and someone behind them whispered.

Someone saw Liu Niang's gaze on Gu Shun's face, so he shouted: "No wonder, it turned out that it was the Gu family's little waste that disturbed Liu Niang's interest, bad luck, really bad luck." ”

"You have to be careful what you say, be careful of being ......," the other said, smiling, as he raised his hand and scratched his neck.

Liu Niang never answered, every time she saw Gu Shun, she would think of someone, who was a person she had met like a glimpse, but she couldn't forget it for so many years.
