Liang Yuan's singing and dancing are full of grace, and the wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow. I remember how happy the youth was, and the lights went up to the Fan Tower in the middle of the night.

Fan Lou is located in the Donghua Gate outside the Jingmingfang, it is three floors high and five floors are facing each other, and the flying bridge railing is light and dark. Everywhere is beaded curtains embroidered foreheads, and you can see the vermilion eaves from afar.

In Yecheng, Liang Yuan is a cave of ecstasy, and Fan Lou is a place of forgetting.

"Childe, the car can't get in." Xiao Wu smacked his tongue a little: "Why are there so many people!" ”

Su Mu opened the car window, and the street was noisy and noisy, with many pedestrians. It's a rare good weather today, the autumn is crisp, and many people who have been stuffy for a long time have come out to relax.

"Forget it, let Changping drive the car back, and you go down and walk with me."

Changping is Ao Wen's newly recruited servant in Beijing, and he is also the stupid big guy who went to deliver medicine last time.

Hearing Su Mu's order, Chang Ping, who was sitting on the wheel, laughed: "There are many people on the street, son, you are careful of being squeezed." The villain knows that there is a way to get around, but it is farther away. ”

Xiao Wu turned his head in surprise: "Is there a way to detour?" Changping, you're familiar with this place. ”

"Hehe, I used to walk a lot, and I know it if I often go around in Beijing."

Su Mu was indeed a little apprehensive about this rubbing street, and after asking Changping to make sure that he would not miss the point, he agreed to take a detour.

Turning left and right, the bustling streets are left behind, the ground is gradually uneven, and the houses are low.

Seeing those ragged people squatting in front of the house, Xiao Wu was a little surprised: "There are also poor people in Yecheng? ”

Changping scratched his head: "Definitely, it's still a lot of miles." ”

Su Mu held the car window, and his elegant face was half covered and half exposed. When the people outside saw the carriage, some of them shrunk into the corner of the wall to prevent it from being splashed with sewage.

"Be careful, there are too many puddles on the road."

Changping responded: "Got it, Childe." ”

Xiao Wu's eyes were purring, and he kept muttering: "Didn't you say that the Son of Heaven was at his feet?" Even if the ground is not covered with gold, as the storyteller says, there shouldn't be so many poor people! Poorer than our Gusu! ”

Su Mu knew that this should be a slum. His heart was a little heavy, though he knew that there would be poor people everywhere. But as Xiao Wu said, the houses here are dilapidated, and many of them even have roofs that are covered with layers of cloth, and there is not even a layer of thatch!

The road was narrow enough for the next carriage to pass by. Although Changping's driving skills are good, he tried to avoid those big pits, but there are countless small pits, and in the end it is inevitable that there will be bumps.

Xiao Wu held on to the car door to fix his body, and he said a little strangely: "Childe, why are all men here?" ”

Su Mu took a look and found that this was indeed the case. Whether it is unkempt and squatting in front of the house, or procrastinating on the road, all men are young and old. He pondered for a moment, a little uncertain: "Maybe, it's not good to show up?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he laughed at himself: "No, how can people here pay attention to this." Xiao Wu, you asked me. Changping, do you know why? ”

Changping, who had been sitting outside to catch the car, gave a whistle and signaled the people in front to give way. His eyes were very calm when he looked at the road, and he did not have the slightest crampedness and humility in front of Su Mu Xiaowu. But as soon as he spoke, his tone was respectful that did not match his eyes: "Young man, the woman here should be making up for sleep during the day." ”

Xiao Wu was dazed, he glanced at Changping's side face: "Make up for sleep?" Don't they rest at night? ”

Su Mu suddenly realized, he lowered the curtain to block the car window, slightly embarrassed and a little offended or something.

Changping smiled: "Brother Xiaowu, you'll understand when you grow up." ”

Outside, Xiao Wu was still chattering and asking, but Changping was silent.

Su Mu knocked on the wall of the car: "Shut up!" ”

Hearing the anger in this sentence, Xiao Wu was honest. Although I am still curious, I can only bury it in my heart.

The road to the slum is not easy to walk, but Changping does not boast. Turn left and right for a while, there is an alley in front, and after going out, you will arrive at Fan Lou.

"Wow!" Xiao Wu looked at the still crowded crowd on the road, and patted Changping on the shoulder vigorously: "Silly big man, are you very good!" Well, it's just that the meat is too hard. ”

Changping didn't answer, but quickly put the pedals away, and then opened the car door: "Childe be careful." ”

Xiao Wu was dumbfounded: "You did it all, so what should I do?" ”

Su Mu came out of the carriage and avoided Changping's hand that he wanted to support: "No need to do this, I'll just come by myself." ”

In order to show that he was still useful, Xiao Wu diligently led the carriage down.

There were many young men dressed in the same blue and white clothes standing outside the Fan Tower, all of them were good-looking and smiling. It seems that this should be the guy who greeted Fan Lou.

Seeing Su Mu and his party, someone immediately stepped forward: "Hello guest officer, how many are there?" ”

Su Mu smiled: "There is an appointment, Huanglou Lanfang." ”

The man was clear: "It turned out to be Liu Gongzi's guest," he bent down and stretched out his hand to the left respectfully: "Please." ”

The Fan Tower is divided into the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Building, and the fourth floor is built around a center. Tianzilou is said to be a holy royal gift, and no one can enter except for the emperor's relatives. The Dizi Building only entertains officials, the Xuanlou is rich and businessmen, and the Yellow Building is where ordinary people go.

The yellow building is divided into a lobby and a box, and the box named by the four gentlemen of Meilan, Zhuju is located in the east, which means that it is full of vitality. Su Mu took Changping and circled up the stairs, and found that the hall below was almost full.

The guy here was very eye-catching, and seeing that Su Mu was very interested in the paintings hanging on the wall, he changed his conversation from the introduction of the special drinks to the introduction of the paintings.

"We have always been particular about the paintings we hang here, and we will hang whatever is the most popular. It's not a villain's nonsense, as far as you can see, ten years ago, even the emperor's imperial works were hung. ”

"Oh?" Su Mu was interested.

The guy looked left and right, and carefully leaned over to cover his mouth with his hand: "It's that autumn theater picture!" As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Su Mu, revealing an expression that all men understand.

Su Mu coughed, the emperor once had a map of the four seasons famous all over the world. Among them, autumn and winter are the most famous. He once investigated the market before founding the bookstore, and it can be said that the spring palace map of the former emperor alone fed a large number of people.

Fan Lou occupies half of the street, and the floors are quite open, so the staircase is wide and long, and the paintings hanging on both sides are also scattered.

The guy saw that this guest was a little thin-skinned, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Of course, it is no longer hanging now, there are talents from the Jiangshan generation, and our Huanglou is now almost Mr. Yihua's special session." ”

He pointed to the wall and said, "Since the legend of the god of war came out, ho! Countless literati splashed ink and painted. After waiting for two months, everyone got tired of watching it, but "Yan San's Sword" came again. Ouch, I really don't know what kind of character Mr. Yihua is, he can write such a wonderful character! ”

Coincidentally, the last painting on the corner of the third floor is Yan San, the protagonist of Mr. Yihua's new work Yan San's sword. Outside the carved beams and painted pillars, a man in black with a sword swept past the eaves, his head was in the cold moonlight, and behind him a large number of people were shouting and chasing.

Chic and happy, the sword rivers and lakes.

It's just that the person in the painting can't see clearly, only the white hair tied up and the silver mask on the side of the face.

After admiring it for a while, the guy muttered: "I don't know what the identity of this Yan San is, Mr. Yihua is too slow to write!" ”

Su Mu cleared his throat: "Brother Lao is leading the way." He asked Changping to give this guy a reward: "I'll just go in by myself, it's this one." ”

In the first room on the third floor, there are two pots of slender orchids outside the door, in this wet and cold autumn day, to cultivate such a good orchid, Fan Lou estimated that a lot of effort has been put in.

The guy took the reward, and the smile in his eyes grew even stronger. Without further ado, he nodded and retreated.

The door of the box was closed, and Su Mu walked over and knocked on the door.

"Brother Liu?"

Didn't you say that you were inviting relatives and friends, and the guests should have arrived one after another at this hour. Why is it so cold, is it too early?

"Squeak."

The door opened from the inside, but it was not Liu Yan who opened it, but a girl.

The woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long eyebrows, bright eyes, and a bun on her head, on which were elegant orchids. She was a little surprised to see the visitor, and then she blushed and bit her lower lip slightly, as if she was a little overwhelmed.

Su Mu was stunned, and quickly opened his eyes: "Excuse me, is Brother Liu Yanliu here?" ”

At this moment, Liu Yan's voice came from inside: "It's Brother Su!" Sister, that's my classmate, not an outsider. ”

With that, Liu Yan came out of the house. He opened the door, with a smile on his face: "Brother Su, you are here!" Come on, come on, please come in! ”

Su Mu followed him in, and the woman who opened the door pinched her sleeves and wanted to close the door, but looked at Changping who came in a little hesitantly.

Liu Yan looked back and said with a smile: "This is Brother Su's subordinate, it's better to go downstairs to eat and drink, and the account will be on me." ”

The black and coarse Changping smiled: "No, my family won't let me leave my son, and I can't eat and drink when I'm on an errand." ”

Liu Yan frowned and was puzzled: "Brother Su doesn't need anyone to eat here," he turned his head to look at Su Mu and said seriously: "There has never been a guest servant in the capital, Brother Su, you just came from your hometown, don't let others see the joke!" ”

Su Muwan, he avoided this topic and instead pointed to the empty room and asked, "Didn't Brother Liu say that he wanted to have a banquet for relatives and friends?" How to ......"

Liu Yan's long face suddenly appeared sad, and he sighed: "Brother Su doesn't know, Liu's relatives are only one sister left." And friends," he stared at Su Mu: "It's only Brother Su." ”

With these words, the woman who was holding the door frame turned her head, she raised her sleeve and wiped her cheeks, as if crying.

Su Mu blinked, looked at the big table of exquisite dishes, and then looked at the red-eyed Liu Yan in front of him, and said tentatively after half a sound: "Then, festival mourning?" ”

Liu Yan seemed to be relieved, and he smiled: "No, Liu is used to it." By the way, I haven't introduced it to you for a long time. This is my sister, whose name is Liu Ying. Sister, this is the classmate and friend I often mention to you, Su Mu Su Gongzi. ”

Su Mu and Liu Ying greeted each other, Su Mu was fine, but Liu Ying was a little uncomfortable, she kept looking away with red cheeks. When the salute was made, the voice was even more inaudible.

Liu Yan led Su Mu into the seat: "Thank you Brother Su for coming today, you don't know, since our parents went, our sister and brother know that everyone in the world is high and low!" ”
