Chapter 33: Ruyi Pavilion
After Wei Wenyan came out of the imperial study, he saw that the imperial historian Xu Chong pulled Si Yuzong aside, looking sneaky.
Xu Chong whispered: "Zuo Xiang, I heard that the new top-brand color art of the Ruyi Pavilion is superior, how about it?" ”
Si Yuzong looked at him with an embarrassed face, and Xu Chong hurriedly pulled him to the side corner and said, "What are you afraid of, now there is only Princess Changning in your mansion, you and I will go together." Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the old bustard of the Ruyi Pavilion, and no one will know. ”
Although Si Yuzong looks old-fashioned on his face, he is actually just a stinky man who likes the new and hates the old. Xu Chong saw that he did not object, so he agreed.
Wei Wenyan looked at the figure of the two of them leaving together, and opened his lips and said, "Yunqi, follow!" ”
Yunqi followed quietly all the way, only to see the two of them look around and enter through the back door of the Ruyi Pavilion together, and then went back to report to Wei Wenyan.
"Interesting, let's go and join in the fun!" With that, he put on a big hat and walked into the snowstorm.
This kind of fireworks and willow alley place is really unsightly, and Wei Wenyan is extremely repulsed in his heart.
As soon as the women at the gate of the Ruyi Pavilion saw Wei Wenyan dressed up, they knew that they were either rich or expensive, so they all stepped forward one by one and grabbed his arm and said in a coquettish voice: "Master is here for the first time, come on, come in." ”
Wei Wenyan glanced at the women with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Let go!" His voice was colder than the wind and snow of this winter moon, and the women timidly let go of their hands.
A turtle man came from the hall and said: "This lord, today's top brand Songxia is making her first appearance, and there is a seat upstairs, please come in!" ”
Wei Wenyan lowered his eyes, and said with a cloud: "Lead the way!" ”
"Huh! Watch your step. The turtle man took Wei Wenyan to a curtain compartment on the second floor, served a pot of good tea and withdrew.
Yunqi looked around, the so-called flower street willow market, the warbler song and swallow dance, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra is endless, very lively.
This brothel is specially separated from the cubicle, so that you can see everything downstairs, and you will not let the people downstairs see your true identity. It is no wonder that this Ruyi Pavilion has been so famous for less than a year after it opened, and I am afraid that many powerful people in the court often come here.
After the song and dance, the old bustard wore a red belt and twisted his waist on stage and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following is the highlight of tonight, please Truffle Girl!" ”
"Good!" "Good!" I saw thunderous applause from the audience.
At this time, a woman in a green shirt on the stage covered her face with a light veil, not like other rouge vulgar powder, dressed elegantly, and walked to the front of the stage in style. He bowed to the audience and said, "Songxia is polite." ”
Even if only a pair of beautiful eyes are revealed, just one look will riddle the man in the audience. I saw a man in the audience shouting loudly: "Uncle, I will pay fifty taels of silver to buy Miss Songxia for one night." ”
The old bustard waved his fan in the audience and said with a smile: "Master, you are really good at laughing, our Songxia girl only sells her art, not her body." ”
The men in the audience were all coaxed when they heard this, and they were all pretending to be high-minded here. One of the men shouted, "I'll give you a hundred taels!" ”
The old bustard covered his lips with a fan and chuckled: "Everyone, don't be impatient, let's ask Miss Songxia to dance, the one with the highest price will win." But ladies and gentlemen, Miss Songxia only accompanies her, regardless of the wind and moon. ”
only heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and the woman on the stage rolled up her sleeves and twisted her waist slightly. It is really as beautiful as an orchid, graceful as a dragon.
As she danced lightly, a gust of wind blew off the veil, a pair of watery autumn eyes lingered, peach cheeks were slightly dizzy, and the cherry mouth smiled silently. It is really natural, fresh and charming.
There was a burst of inhalation in the audience, and the dance was over. Everyone in the audience shouted and applauded, and a rich and noble boy opened his lips and said: "I will give two hundred taels of gold!" ”
Everyone sighed, gold, at this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly opened his lips and said: "Five hundred taels of gold!" ”
The price suddenly rose to such a high level, and those people in the audience now have colored hearts and have no money to spend, so they can only watch the excitement.
At this time, the old bustard smiled and said: "This master offered five hundred taels of gold, which other master bid higher." At this time, a voice from upstairs said, "Eight hundred taels!" ”
The middle-aged man, who was already determined to win, suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and the old bustard's face was full of joy that could not be concealed.
"Fifteen hundred taels!" When the voice came from the other side of the upstairs, everyone exclaimed.
Wei Wenyan followed the sound source and looked over, it was the person sitting diagonally opposite him, and through the veil, he could see that there were two middle-aged people. Wei Wenyan raised the corners of his lips, if he guessed correctly, it was Si Yuzong and Imperial Doctor Xu Chong.
The old bustard smiled even more happily: "Fifteen hundred taels of gold, my lord, is there anything higher?" Everyone who was still in high spirits was silent, and the old bustard said loudly: "In this way, Songxia will accompany the master upstairs tonight!" ”
"You don't have to be discouraged, there are still many girls, you guys play slowly." The old bustard took Songxia to the room on the second floor, and the two figures in the compartment had already disappeared.
"Lord Xu, Xiangye, this is the top Songxia girl in my Ruyi Pavilion." The old bustard brought Songxia into their room and introduced.
At this time, Songxia had lifted the veil, and her stunning posture was unobstructed, and she owed a debt to the two of them and said, "Songxia has seen Xiangye and Master Xu." ”
That Xu Chong was stunned, and stood up with a smile and said, "Miss Songxia is polite!" ”
At this time, Si Yuzong's face was even more happy, and Xu Chong said with interest: "The lower officials will not disturb Xiangye and Miss Songxia." He turned to the old bustard and said, "Mother, call Miss Qinglan and Miss Hualing to the next room." ”
The old bustard nodded with a smile and said, "This is coming, Songxia will accompany Xiangye well." ”
At this time, there was no one else in the room, so Si Yuzong wanted to put his hand on Song Xia's shoulder, and Song Xia bent down to get the wine on the table without a trace. He handed the wine glass to Si Yuzong and chuckled, "Song Xia respects Xiangye with a glass." ”
Si Yuzong took the wine glass and drank it all, looking at Songxia with a spring on his face.
When Wei Wenyan walked out of the cubicle, he saw the old bustard and a woman in red enter a room, but in less than half a moment, he saw the old bustard come out alone.
It took another moment for the woman in red to come out, wearing a dark red hat to hide her figure.
Wei Wenyan hurriedly followed. I saw that the woman was holding a long sword, and her long hair was tied with a red hair band in a high ponytail.
This back, he didn't dare to think or speak.
The woman seemed to know that someone was following, and led them into a deep alley.
I saw that the woman suddenly turned around, and seemed to pause when she saw that it was them. The woman opened her lips and said lightly, "Why is Childe following the little girl?" ”
Wei Wenyan was a little surprised when he saw that face, the woman was wearing a gold mask, revealing only a pair of eyes and red lips.
With those red lips and fierce eyes, Wei Wenyan's heart began to be uncertain. He said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, Xiaosheng recognized the wrong person!" He arched his hand and turned around and left.
