Chapter 10: The Past of Fang Pavilion
She didn't have much culture, she didn't know a few words, and what she said was prepared by He Xiucai in advance, "Mrs. Shi, this is the little girl He Yushu." The He family is an innocent scholar, and her father He Bingcheng is a showman. Thirteen years old, can recite one or two poems, and has a slight talent for painting......... I don't know, can it get into the eyes of the lady? ”
Mrs. Shi has been looking at them since she entered the door, and her Yushu's appearance shocked her at first sight, although she is only thirteen years old, she can faintly peek at the country's assets, but although she looks good, she is a little stupid, not as lively and agile as ordinary children, businessmen value interests the most, how can they waste Xunfangge's financial and material resources to cultivate a worthless girl?
Yes, no matter how satisfied I am with this girl's appearance, she still smiles quietly on her face.
The one who can enter her Xunfang Pavilion is either a good seedling cultivated since childhood or a down-and-out daughter, how can she be an idiot and a little girl from a poor Xiucai family?
Mrs. Shi was about to refuse, but unfortunately met Yu Shu's eyes.
Yu Shu's pair of apricot eyes were bright, and there was infinite charm in ignorance, and he hurriedly looked at his eyes, first curiously, and then shamefully cowardly.
Not only the eyes, but Yushu's face is also excellent. Mrs. Shi just watched from a distance just now, but now she got closer and looked more carefully: her skin is like cream, her eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, her nose is small and tall, and her small mouth is naturally red.
It's really clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving.
Yu Shu's appearance is already very good, and the thirteen-year-old child is also faintly visible, although his hands and feet are a little thin because of malnutrition, it is not a problem, if he concentrates on cultivation over time, he will definitely be able to beat Lu Yuping, the number one beauty in Xunfang Pavilion.
Mrs. Shi thought about it for a while, and finally agreed to leave Yushu and gave Mrs. He a large sum of money, in order to let Mrs. He abandon this daughter from now on, and have nothing to do with her after entering Xunfang Pavilion.
Looking at the back of her mother's resolute departure, at first Yushu didn't understand anything, just listened to her mother's words and stayed here to play obediently for a few days, and over time, after half a month, she didn't see her mother come to pick her up, so she was naturally homesick, crying and wanting to go home.
Xunfangge's methods are different from ordinary Qinglou, not beating or scolding, but sitting down and talking about this matter in detail, regardless of whether Yushu understands it or not, repeatedly emphasizing her identity as a prostitute in Xunfangge.
It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, people stay in Xunfang Pavilion.
After a month like this, Yushu never waited for her father and mother, and after a long time, her heart became cold, she knew that her parents really didn't want her anymore, and she was sold into the Qinglou........
The king is scheming, she has long inquired about Yu Shu's situation since she was a child, and pretended to show all kinds of signs of her parents snubbing her unintentionally, so that Yu Shu slowly died.
In fact, from the moment he knew the cruel truth, Yu Shu thought that his parents were dead, and he had to keep this cheap life alive, and he was willing to stay in Xunfang Pavilion to learn various skills.
Because of her young age and well-behaved and sensible, the king took care of her as a good seedling, and did not have to show up and usher in her.
In addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, the days are dull, and the people who come into contact with women in life are women, and the protection is excellent.
The quiet life finally took a different turn in the second year when she came in to Xunfang Pavilion, because of the arrival of Xiao Qi, the ninth prince.
King Kangping, Xiao Qi, the ninth prince of the dynasty, is known as the Nine Princes.
He returned to Beijing this time because of the great victory in July on the frontier, repelled the Qiang Huhe Shan Yu, and captured more than 10,000 people and animals of the tribe.
The Nine Kings set out on the expedition at a young age, and returned triumphantly, which was naturally a good story, and the common people spread the exploits of the Nine Kings one after another, and the prestige and status suddenly rose in the minds of the people.
Xiao Moheng, who was not the emperor's crown prince at that time---- was overjoyed when he heard that his brother had returned to the court, and went straight to the city gate to pick up Xiao Qi into the palace to face the saint. After drinking the celebration banquet in the palace, he quietly set up a private banquet in Xunfang Pavilion in the evening to catch his younger brother.
The master of the Shi family learned of the arrangement of the prince of the East Palace two days in advance, and began to prepare wine and food as early as possible, and ordered the new beauties to arrange a dance to help the banquet.
This is the two most distinguished guests in addition to the emperor today, and this is the dust-washing banquet arranged by the prince after the victory.
Although Yu Shu is beautiful but not qualified to go to the dust banquet to dance, since last night Xunfang Pavilion Jiu has closed the door to thank guests, the aunts of the king and the training are very busy, and they don't have time to take care of her all day, she is also idle, bored lying on the railing and watching Sister Hong and their intense line dance, she has never seen such a big dance!
A group of beautiful sisters are jumping underneath, and they really look like fairies in the nine heavens.
She looked at it with a smile on her face, showing her small dimples, and her big eyes squinted, watching those beautiful sisters dance with adoration.
Yu Shu watched them dance and dance for an afternoon, and Xiao Qi finally arrived late in the evening.
What a noble identity the prince is, it is naturally impossible to see the idle people in the private interview, and in the afternoon, Yushu was asked to stay in the room and not be allowed to come out.
As the saying goes, a hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and this beauty can't escape the palm of the hero's hand, Yushu is no exception, she is very curious about this nine kings who are deeply supported by the people, and always wants to take a sneak look.
It is said that Xiao Qi followed the prince to Xunfang Pavilion one after another.
Since the last expedition, he has not touched a woman for more than a year, and he has no time to think about these things in the bitter cold of the frontier, and now when he enters this gentle township, he really thinks about it.
The nine kings are good-looking, in the past, they were kind and elegant and walked with a humble gentleman, and later they loved to ride and shoot their bodies and practice taller and sturdy than ordinary rich boys.
But he is too rebellious, arrogant and arrogant, and his eyes are empty, everyone has to give him three points, even his own brother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no exception. This character is invincible in the eyes of men, but heroic in the eyes of women.
Relying on his good skin and noble identity, he is like a fish in water in the women's pile, and he comes and goes freely.
He stepped into the banquet hall with his head held high, all the women were fixed, looking at him stupidly, and for a while the banquet hall was a lot quieter, and no one dared to speak,
It was Xiao Moheng who reacted first, and got up to greet him with a smile.
"Aki is here! Come and sit down!"
"Brother Huang came early."
Xiao Qi didn't look at those women, and calmly squeezed his own brother.
Xiao Moheng and Xiao Qi are both brothers, and they have a deep relationship, so they are naturally used to him like this.
He was not annoyed, and motioned for the little servant to pull out the chair next to him and wait for him to sit down.
Xiao Qi sat slowly under Xiao Moheng, lazily looking around.
"In the past year or so, Xunfang Pavilion has added a lot of beauties."
In such an important place, the master of the Shi family naturally wanted to accompany him, his bloated body like a pig was squeezed into a pear blossom wooden chair of mismatched size, and he cautiously accompanied him with a smile: "The grass people heard that the nine princes were triumphant, and specially set up a banquet to find Fang Pavilion for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, the coarse tea and light rice master do not know and disagree with the prince's appetite, let the beauty dance for the prince first, you see......"
Xiao Qi glanced at the bear's paws, abalone wings, and deer antler velvet in front of him out of the corner of his eyes, and sneered in his heart: It's really coarse enough for light rice.
didn't look at the master of the Shi family, picked up a glass of wine with an expressionless face, leaned up, put down the wine glass with a bang, and waved his hand:
"Let's jump."
The master of the Shi family saw that the prince's face was still a little interested in today's wine, and hurriedly slapped his high-five while the iron was hot.
After a while, the music began and the beauties danced.
For a while, the fat and thin mermaids rushed in, all wearing dance clothes as thin as cicada wings to show one by one in front of the nine kings, using all their efforts to scratch their heads and make a pose, earnestly hoping that the eyes of the nine kings could stay on their bodies for a while, and then smoothly entered his eyes and then logically brought the nine kings under his command, not asking the nine kings to kneel down and then under their pomegranate skirts, but asking for the spring night to become the most heroic woman in the world, and there will be no regrets in this life.
It's a pity that for some reason today, the nine kings who have always been amorous have little interest in them, they look like upright men and gentlemen, their eyes have always been faint from the time they came in until now, and they don't raise their eyelids in the face of the beauties' turns of teasing, just drinking with their heads bored, and they don't even taste the delicacies that have been carefully prepared.
The master of the Shi family sitting next to him was tinkering in his heart, he didn't know where his arrangement was not as good as the Nine Kings' intentions, and he could only ask the prince for help when he was uneasy.
Xiao Moheng understood Shi Hongzhi's thoughts, and was also a little puzzled, and was about to speak, Xiao Qi put down the wine glass and got up and opened his mouth first:
"It's not early, it's time for the royal brother to go back to the palace. The prince of the East Palace, the future prince, came to this dusty place in the middle of the night to have fun, if you let the old men of the Yushitai know, I am afraid that I will go to my father's place to visit you a few books and make a lot of trouble. Brother Huang, let's go back to the palace as soon as possible. ”
Xiao Moheng didn't fall in love with these Qinlou Chu Pavilions in the first place, and the banquet was held here today, all to catch Xiao Qi's wind.
Xiao Moheng returned from traveling as a prince and was canonized as the crown prince by the emperor, and at the age of 20 he married the granddaughter of Dingguo Gong, who was a childhood sweetheart, Murong Jinting, as the crown princess.
And Xiao Qi, the king of Kangping, is completely a negative teaching material, with a romantic nature, attracting bees and butterflies everywhere, and now he is twenty years old, not to mention the princess, the palace does not even have a concubine and wife.
The palace is innocent, and people who don't know still think how clean he is, but those gentlemen in the capital know that the absurd characters who the Nine Princes love to visit Flower Street and Willow Lane are just hidden and ordinary people don't know.
