Chapter 91: The Cardinal
It was the morning, and there were many guests eating breakfast in the hall of Dingxiang Pavilion.
A young woman wearing a blue and white lily dress with a veil covering her face slowly descended the stairs from the second floor. The light pace obviously didn't make too much noise, but it still attracted the attention of many guests. All the guests were stunned, one of them sprinkled the wine in his hand, and another dropped the steamed bun that had just been eaten.
Then, I saw a slender and handsome boy followed by the beautiful woman, with slanted eyebrows and sideburns on his angular face, and he stared at the beautiful woman in front of him in the dark and deep.
Just as everyone was thinking about where these two handsome men and beautiful women came from, they saw the handsome man scanning the audience like a star, and his eyes that went deep into the pool suddenly became cold. I don't know if it's an illusion, but the hand that pressed on the long sword at his waist seemed to be exerting force.
Seeing this, everyone felt an awe-inspiring low pressure, and they all withdrew their gazes, for fear that if they looked at it more, they would gouge out their eyes by this Hades-like man.
Xu Miaoyun, who was walking in front, was just a little proud in her heart, and felt that these people downstairs were much more discerning than Lu Zhan. But seeing that everyone suddenly lowered their heads, as if they were just looking at the scenery casually, Xu Miaoyun thought with a headache, is her posture too ordinary, or are there too many good-looking girls in this Northern Cold City, and they are all immune?
And how did she know that everyone's abnormal behavior was all because she was followed by the plague god.
In this way, the two of them left the inn one after the other. Xu Miaoyun didn't have any interest in going out for a casual walk, so she wandered aimlessly on the street.
"Girl, good rouge gouache, take a look~" A vendor on the street beckoned.
Xu Miaoyun glanced listlessly, "I just bought it, I don't need it." ”
Hmph, women are the ones who please themselves, in such a big city, there is not even a person to admire, who will you show it?
As I walked, I didn't know which street I walked to, only to see a building with colorful flags fluttering in the distance waving at pedestrians in the distance.
"What's that?" Xu Miaoyun muttered quietly.
The woman didn't say anything to herself along the way, and she didn't even give herself a look, Lu Zhan heard her ask, and quickly replied, "That's the Jade Pavilion." ”
"Oh, Jade Pavilion, that's a jade ornament seller, let's go take a look!" Sure enough, when a woman is in a bad mood, she wants to buy and buy.
"......" Lu Zhan looked at the building in front of him, frowned slightly, and did not move.
Xu Miaoyun saw that he was hesitant and unwilling, and said angrily, "What are you doing in a daze?" How? Afraid I'll spend your money?! ”
Lu Zhan stepped forward in embarrassment, and whispered in Xu Miaoyun's ear, "The Jade Pavilion is not selling jadeite, it's... It's a green house. ”
"What? Qinglou? Xu Miaoyun's voice was a bit loud, attracting the attention of people on both sides of the road.
Lu Zhan replied with an ugly face, "Hmm." ”
Xu Miaoyun looked up at the four-storey building, this green building can really be named, if you don't know, Xianggong said that she went to the Jade Building, and the lady of the family is probably still waiting for the gift with great anticipation.
Lu Zhan couldn't see the expression under Xu Miaoyun's veil clearly, only to see her staring at the Jade Building for a long time, and then suddenly turned back and looked at herself, and then seemed to squeeze out a sentence from between her teeth: "You know all about the Qinglou?" Have you been? ”
Lu Zhan hurriedly shook his head, he just knew, but he never went in.
Except, except for the last time Xu Miaoyun left with Shen Liangzhi, because he wanted to get rid of Xu Miaoyun in his mind, he wanted to see what other women were like. But he swore that he wanted to go in that day, but only to see, and not to do anything.
Thinking of the depression he was full of that day, and then looking at the beautiful woman standing in front of him now, Lu Zhan laughed at his naivety that day. There are so many women in the world, but Xu Miaoyun only has it. Even if you go to see it, how can those warblers and swallows be as good as the woman in front of them?
Xu Miaoyun saw that Lu Zhan's eyes were wandering, and her face was wandering, and her small mouth under the veil pursed out in displeasure.
Haven't been? Look at that look at that look like that! Hmph, the world is as black as a crow! It is better to believe in a man's mouth than to believe that there are ghosts in the world!
Lu Zhan saw Xu Miaoyun glaring at him again, and hurriedly said, "I really haven't been there." However, there is a place that can take you around. ”
Then, Lu Zhan skillfully grabbed Xu Miaoyun's arm and walked forward with her. Until he walked to the whispering building where he came last time.
A small servant led the two to the private room on the second floor, and after serving tea, he respectfully retreated.
Xu Miaoyun lifted the veil, knocked up the melon seeds freely, and listened to the storyteller in the audience spitting and telling the story.
At this time, this gentleman is telling the story of a righteous and evil demon warrior who rescued the abducted children, but was framed by those famous and decent people. Xu Miaoyun listened attentively, and when she talked about the chivalrous warrior who fought bravely against various sects and won a big victory in one pick of ten, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but applaud.
Lu Zhan sat next to her like this, admiring Ruhua's beauty unscrupulously, when she drank tea, when she ate melon seeds, and even when she clapped her hands like a boy as usual, Lu Zhan felt pleasing to the eye.
Looking at her smile that finally bloomed, Lu Zhan felt as if he had done something right today.
"Oh, what a pity, how did that chivalrous man spare those sanctimonious hypocrites like that in the end!" Xu Miaoyun slapped the table angrily and drank a large bowl of tea.
"Because he doesn't want to be a demon forever." Lu Zhan didn't listen carefully, but he could guess a thing or two.
"Hmph, what's wrong with being a demon sect! Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door! Xu Miaoyun automatically thought of Zhang Wuji played by Jet Li, and the scene where the Eight Great Sects besieged Guangming Ding, hmph, if it weren't for the kind and beautiful Xiao Zhao, those people would all have been killed!
Just as he was thinking, a woman dressed in red came to the stage.
"Look, look, Xiao Zhao!"
Lu Zhan followed her gaze and looked down, only to see that it was the same as the last time she came, after the same storyteller, a woman who was performing arts came to the stage.
Today, the woman did not open her mouth to sing or play any instrument, but took a graceful pose, and then began to dance slowly to the music in the background.
Xu Miaoyun saw the woman, her posture was soft, and her dancing steps were fluttering, but she didn't expect that this small northern city with rough folk customs still hid so many stunning colors.
Let her be more determined to take root in Zhenbei City after leaving the barracks.
was thinking about his own affairs, only to hear the background music becoming more and more cheerful, and the audience's voice became more and more enthusiastic. Xu Miaoyun looked down again, and saw that the dancer was constantly spinning with the tune, and with each rotation, a piece of red satin fell off his body.
As people continued to throw money on the stage, the woman's turning posture continued until the red cloth fell off about seven or eight pieces, and the intact body that had just been wrapped had revealed a little white and tender flesh covered with a layer of hazy fine yarn.
It turned out that this woman was actually a striptease!
Xu Miaoyun twitched the corners of her mouth, looked up at Lu Zhan, who was also surprised on the other side, and said in disbelief, "This... That's the good place you mean?! ”
