Chapter 381: Onlookers
In the evening, the spacious first floor of Fan Lou was newly furnished, the doors leading to the back garden were all unloaded, the threshold was removed, the ceiling was erected, and the lobby was extended outward, and the sky was still very bright outside, and the building was already brightly lit.
Li Xia and King Qin stood side by side in the window of a private room in the corner of the second floor, looking at the scholars and female dancers crowded downstairs, and the shopkeepers of the various wine shops who were directing their own plans and carrying barrels of new wine into the wine cellar after barrel.
Fine wine is inseparable from talents, there must be beautiful people if there are talents, and the Fan Lou at this time has gathered almost the best wine, the most beautiful female singers, and many scholars who can definitely be called talents.
Among the many talented women, the primrose is a lone show, with her chin raised, standing proudly in the middle of the women.
The third-class female dancers are in groups of three or five, in the ridicule of the scholars around them, they are still more or less youthful and restrained, the second-class female dancers each hold a wine jug, and are wandering around diligently and carelessly pouring wine and laughing, and the first-class female dancers and a group of scholars around them are sneering and laughing, and the long-sleeved dancers are good at socializing.
There is only Primrose, and no one pays attention to her in the third-class female dancer, and she is not willing to be with the third-class, she is disdainful of pouring wine, and the scholars are also disdainful of her at this time, shining and abruptly standing in the middle.
Li Xia laughed while watching. King Qin couldn't stop laughing, "This is called Primrose, what is this trying to do?" This doesn't seem to be the right way. ”
He didn't know how to play a girl's trick, but he could see that this Miss Primrose was making a lot of effort and going in the wrong direction.
"This cherry grassland is a visitor to the elephant shed, you see, the birth is quite good." Li Xia said as he lit the primrose and motioned to King Qin.
"Her body is shiny and dazzling like this, how can she still see her appearance?" After a pause, King Qin's voice fell and he smiled: "If you, even if you are a hundred times brighter than this, you can only see people, not clothes." ”
Li Xia snorted and lowered her head with a smile, and King Qin looked sideways at her and smiled.
Li Xia laughed for a while, turned around and took a glass from the row of new wine next to him, took an empty cup, poured half of it and handed it to King Qin, "Is your amount of wine good?" ”
"Passable." King Qin took the cup, raised it to his nose and sniffed it.
Li Xia lay back on his stomach, took a sip of wine, tasted it, and looked at King Qin, who also took a sip and nodded at Li Xia, "This wine is good." ”
Li Xia poured the wine in the cup to King Qin, "I don't like this wine." ”
King Qin stretched out his cup and took the wine, and while sipping it, he listened to Li Xia continue to say primrose, "If she is not so shiny, she is still very beautiful, and she is very good at attracting guests, at least at this moment, Zhao Yongfu is very fascinated, it is said that more than 100,000 silver has been used on her." ”
King Qin's eyebrows raised slightly when he heard this, and more than 100,000 silver was not less.
"This primrose, a little bit of a heart, I probably know that Zhao Yongfu's infatuation can't last long, and I want to use Zhao Yongfu to set up a signboard, so I put on the idea of opening a wine festival, her dress up and down doesn't count, just buy flowers and cheers, it is said that Zhao Yongfu took 20,000 silver out."
"That's worth 20,000?" King Qin laughed out loud, and before he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Xia, leaned over a little, and asked in a low voice, "Guo Shengjing's hand?" ”
"I didn't ask, anyway, Guo Sheng told me about spending 20,000 silver, and I also think that this Zhao Yongfu probably found the wrong person, and found the most expensive salary."
King Qin smiled and nodded, and found Guo Sheng, 20,000 silver is really a conscience price.
"That's right," King Qin suddenly remembered that Li Wenlan took the lead in writing Enke, "The sixth brother wants to go to the book to ask Enke, Guo Sheng said you know?" ”
"Well, it was my idea for the sixth brother, I heard from the sixth brother yesterday that one hundred and twenty or thirty scholars have been jointly named." Li Xia promised to be crisp and crisp.
"Quan Gu is dead, the emperor is in a bad mood for a while, and his temper is not good, Enke he won't open it, are you clearing the name of the sixth brother?"
"No, first, the sixth brother was bullied and angry, and second, those scholars," Li Xia pouted downstairs, "It's too idle, find something for them to do." ”
"You're not going to have a good hand, are you? Guo Sheng seems to be very busy for a while. "King Qin is a little puzzled, this joint name is an excerpt, is it a matter?
"I didn't, Guo Sheng was not busy with me, he was busy all the time, and he quarreled." Li Xia said, motioning downstairs.
Downstairs, a delicate-looking third-class female with a bit of arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes was constantly shaking her veil and leaning at the primrose with disdain.
Primrose looked excited, pointing her finger at the third-class maid, and her voice was sharp, "What do you mean by that?" You make it clear! What's wrong with me? I rely on men, don't you rely on men? Which one doesn't rely on men for food? You can all rely on men, why can't I? ”
The third-class maid rolled her eyes down, snorted, shook off her handkerchief, ignored the primrose at all, turned around, and the disdain on her face couldn't be dissolved, "It's really shameless." ”
"I just rely on men and silver!" Primrose didn't hear her not too low shamelessness, turned around suddenly, and shouted sharply at a first-class female on her side: "You don't rely on men? It's not a man who surrounds you? Who is not Mei Xiang? Why do you look down on me? What's wrong with me just relying on silver? Real money! ”
Li Xia held his cheeks and looked at the primrose with great interest, and King Qin frowned slightly.
The primrose downstairs has already brought out the cry, "...... You bully! Why? Who doesn't rely on men? You men don't have any money, you're poor! Sour ding! You are jealous! You're all jealous of me! ”
King Qin heard this, and Li Xia lay on the windowsill and laughed, "This primrose is really good." ”
King Qin's uh end was endless, and turned into a provocative um, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"She scolded those sour dings for being sour dings, and she scolded them well, but a bunch of poor sour dings were jealous of her rich uncle." Li Xia laughed as he spoke.
"Did Zhao Yongfu provoke you, or did he have it all?" King Qin stretched out his head and looked at Li Xia carefully.
"None of them." Li Xia then took a glass of new wine, poured half of it to King Qin, tasted it, nodded with satisfaction, and took a sip of it.
"The day before yesterday, Guo Sheng said that when he went to the Pingjiang Hall, he heard a group of merchants complaining there, saying that the goods entering the capital now must be divided into ships at Changyuan Wharf, and a shipload of goods must be divided into two ships in order to enter the city safely, otherwise they don't know where they are stranded."
Li Xia diverted the topic, finished sipping the wine one by one, and went to get another glass, half of which was with King Qin.
"I heard that the four fathers and sons of the Chang family, all like Zhao Yongfu, love to love beauties and spend money, Guo Sheng said that the Zhao family bought the house of the Wang family next door the year before last, and the house, the Wang family has just overhauled, and it cost more than 20,000 silver to repair the house alone, and the Zhao family bought it, and it only cost 8,000 taels in total."
This new cup of wine is also Li Xia's favorite drink, half of it was given to King Qin, after drinking his own, he was a little unsatisfied, stretched out his head to see what was still in King Qin's cup, simply stuffed his own cup to him, and took the remaining half of King Qin's wine.
"Don't drink too much of this wine." King Qin hurriedly reminded.
"I have a drink. Guo Sheng said that the Zhao family bought the house because Chang Jiagui and his eldest son each wanted to carry a beauty into the house, but their family really had no place to live, so for the sake of the two beauties, they bought the Wang family's house, knocked down the wall, and joined together. ”
Li Xia drank half of the wine he took from King Qin, then went to get a new glass of wine, divided half of it, and motioned to King Qin, "This year's new wine is good." ”
"Chang Jiagui was originally a gardener in the palace, Chang Jiagui's father Chang Shifu read for a few days, has not been able to go to school, Chang Jiagui's mother Qiu gave birth to Chang Jiagui for more than a month, the palace to the emperor to find a nurse, Qiu was pointed, Qiu said very little, A-Niang said how much she said, how much the heart and eyes, after the emperor was weaned, Qiu Shi did to teach Mama, has been close to take care of the emperor's diet and daily life, until the emperor became the emperor, Qiu Shi sued the old."
King Qin talked about the past of the Chang family, and Li Xia listened very carefully next to King Qin.
"Chang Shifu is much more shrewd and obedient than Chang Jiagui, Qiu was reused within a few months of entering the palace, and soon, Chang Jiafu ordered the fat difference of the supervisor of the water supervisor, and Chang Jiafu guarded Chang Jiagui's only son at home, which is very rare."
Li Xia snorted as if he didn't have anything, and then took the new wine and tasted it.
"When I was a child, Chang Jiagui often went into the palace to play with the emperor, Chang Jiagui was extremely unsuccessful since he was a child, he couldn't study, he couldn't practice martial arts, he said clumsily, he just loves beauty and plays beauty, and now, after playing for most of his life, he still plays in the next three roads, Qiu knows his son very well, and the emperor has repeatedly reused Chang Jiagui, but he has been rejected by Qiu, because of this, the emperor respects Qiu very much, and feels very wronged Chang Jiagui."
King Qin looked at Li Xia, "Forcibly buying the Wang family's house, greedy for a little river silver, this kind of thing, it was not that no one was impeached before, the emperor was very angry, and felt that this was bullying Chang Jiagui." ”
Li Xia drank another half glass of wine, took another glass, and gave half of it to King Qin, while saying with a smile: "A villain like Chang Jiagui, let's ignore him, this glass of wine ...... I don't like it, to you. ”
Li Xia poured the wine to King Qin, took another glass for himself, took a sip, was satisfied, looked at King Qin's half-full wine glass, took it from his hand, took an empty cup, and gave him half of it, "That one is not delicious, this one is good." ”
"You can't drink anymore." King Qin looked at Li Xia, whose cheeks were flushed.
"Okay, I won't drink this cup anymore." Li Xia replied obediently, lying on the windowsill, looking downstairs, and sighed, "Patronizing and talking, where is the primrose?" Li Xia turned his head and asked Lu Yi, who had been standing in the corner of the house.
"Crying and scolding, I left." Lu Yi replied with a smile.
"Uncle is here, and Guo Sheng, hey, and my eighth brother-in-law who hasn't passed through the door." Li Xia turned around and saw Guo Sheng and the others who had just come in, and said while laughing.
King Qin laughed out loud at her last sentence, "What do you mean by the eighth brother-in-law who hasn't passed through the door?" Axia, you have too much wine, don't look at it, I'll send you back. ”
"No ......" paused, Li Xia stood up straight with the windowsill, and after a moment, he fell to the windowsill again, "It's a little dizzy, I remember that I drank very well, what's going on?" Ah Feng: I want to decant the soup. ”
Li Xia leaned back on the windowsill again, looking at Guo Sheng and Xu Huan, who were surrounded by a large group of people in the middle, and Ding Ze'an, as well as Ding Ze'an, King Qin stretched out an arm behind Li Xia to prevent her from standing unsteadily and falling, while looking down at Guo Sheng, who was swaying freely, and then looked at Li Xia who was smiling, he couldn't help but sigh, he wanted to ask about her, but he didn't ask yet, she was drunk again, forget it, next time.
"Let's not read it, the next thing is just to chant poems and explain to the good people who are good at drinking, it's not interesting, let's go, I'll send you back." King Qin persuaded again.
Li Xia lay on his stomach and didn't move.
"Axia, let's go, you have a little too much wine, you have to go back and rest, the excitement is gone, there is nothing to see." King Qin continued to persuade with a helpless expression.
"I'm not watching the excitement, I'm with you, and after watching it for a while, I don't want to leave now." Li Xia rested his chin on the back of his hand and tilted his head to look at King Qin.
"Hey." King Qin laughed, "Okay, well, look at it for a while." ”
There was a sudden commotion downstairs, with the sound of slapping the table vigorously, "...... Outrageous! It's really a bad day! The villain is in charge......"
Li Xia looked at King Qin, King Qin hurriedly looked at Lu Yi, Lu Yi took half a step forward and said in a low voice: "It's still about the primrose, and it's about Zhao Yongfu's silver." ”
"It's silver again, let's go." Li Xia pulled King Qin's sleeve, stood up, and pulled him out.
Walking to the door, King Qin hesitated, grabbed Li Xia's hand, led her downstairs, walked through the narrow alley, and got into the car through the side door.
