Chapter 32: A visit to a brothel
Baili Lan is used to being a killer, so she doesn't like to be stared at blatantly by so many people. But on the other hand, Nangong Jingchen seems to have become accustomed to such attention, and he can still remain calm and calm, and even talked to Bai Lilan in his heart.
"Lan'er, being able to walk in the sunset with you is a scene that only appears in dreams, but I never thought that it would be realized one day, and I feel very happy now."
"Happiness is relative, it only proves how unfortunate you have been." Bai Lilan was a little irritable, and what she said was not well spoken, and she did not think it through. After saying it, I realized that I seemed to have accidentally said the wrong thing. Bai Lilan coughed lightly and said something else, "What do you do in Lanling on weekdays, why are you so idle every day." ”
"Heh, have you forgotten, I'm just a world of eating and waiting for death, the most important task every day is to eat, drink and have fun, do you still need to do anything serious?"
"yes." Baili Lan hugged her arms and raised her eyebrows to look at the sky, and the flaming clouds made her cheeks red, "I've eaten and drunk today, so what about having fun?" Where do you usually go for fun? ”
Speaking of this, Nangong Jingchen's face became a little unnatural, and he said, "Where else can I go, it's just to drink tea and listen to music." ”
Sensing Nangong Jingchen's discomfort, Baili Lan suddenly bent down and looked at him, her eyes teasing and said, "Really? Is it as simple as just listening to music? No, how can there be a cat that doesn't get fishy, and you have to pretend to be a prodigal boy, so why don't you go to a brothel! Speaking of the brothel, Bai Lilan suddenly became interested, put one hand on Nangong Jingchen's shoulder, and said coakingly, "I haven't been to a brothel yet, why don't you take me to the brothel to have a look?" ”
"Don't mess around!" Nangong Jingchen's face turned red and said, "You are now the princess, and you can't speak without scruples." And there are many people on this street, and it is not good for your reputation to be heard. ”
"Hmph, do I still have a reputation? In the eyes of your family, I am not only married, but also a pawn of Emperor Bac Ninh, and my evaluation of me is very bad. In this case, could it be worse? Standing up lazily, Bai Lilan was not joking with Nangong Jingchen, and was a little aimless wandering in front.
Looking at Baili Lan's back, Nangong Jingchen felt a little self-blaming, feeling that he had stiffened the atmosphere.
In order to please Baili Lan, Nangong Jingchen followed behind Bai Li Lan and said, "Okay, since you are interested, I will take you to Yihuafang another day." ”
The footsteps paused, Baili Lan turned around leisurely, where is the resentment just now? Meimu turned around, and Baili Lan smiled, "Why do you want to change the day, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today!" In which direction is Yihuafang located? ”
"This ......" Nangong Jingchen was a little embarrassed, looked at Baili Lan's clothes, and said, "You are always a woman, and it is always not good to have such a blatant brothel." Another day, I will change into a men's outfit for you, and then I will plan. ”
"Men's clothing isn't simple?" Bai Lilan pointed to a plaque on his head and said triumphantly, "There is a ready-to-wear store here, you wait a while, I'll go in and pick and choose!" After speaking, before Nangong Jingchen could react, Baili Lan took a few maids into the ready-to-wear store, leaving the two men outside, staring at each other with big eyes.
"Shizi, this woman...... The princess is too casual! He Che wanted to reprimand Baili Lan for a few words, but when he thought about it, he was now the princess of the world, and he was also his master, so he couldn't say anything disrespectful. And Nangong Jingchen likes the princess very much, and the consequences of speaking disrespectfully may be miserable!
"Well, go with her. Anyway, it's boring to go back to the palace, so it's better to have more fun while you're outside. ”
Looking at Nangong Jingchen's conniving look, He Che could only swallow back the words that were about to come to his mouth.
After a short time, a beautiful young man dressed in a dashing suit appeared in front of Nangong Jingchen, stretched out his arms, walked around in front of him, and said ostentatiously, "How, it's not bad, right?" ”
Even if she changed into men's clothes, Baili Lan was still so dazzling that people didn't dare to look at it directly, and in addition to being glamorous, she also had a little more heroism.
After looking up and down, Nangong Jingchen said sincerely, "If you look like this, if you are seen by a woman in the world, you will definitely shed your heart." ”
After hearing this, Bai Lilan patted the corner of her clothes, and seemed to be very satisfied with her style.
"Alright, let's go, at this time, the brothel should have just begun to welcome customers, and we can just take a look at the excitement!"
He Che's ears trembled, raised his eyebrows, and asked tepidly, "How does the princess know that the brothel has just started to welcome customers now?" ”
**Naked question, did not let Baili Lan react, but Xia Yu blew up first.
Crossing his waist, Xia Yu said indignantly, "My county lord is well-informed, so he naturally knows. Moreover, in the original palace of King Chen, there are also beauties that the prince took back from the brothel, and it is not surprising that the lord of my family knows something from the brothel. I don't know what you've been skeptical all day long! Several maids also changed into men's clothes, perhaps because they were pretending to be men, Xia Yu felt that she was in front of He Che, her waist was straighter, and her voice was louder.
Wiping the saliva that was sprayed on his face, He Che silently took two steps back, not wanting to be as familiar as the crazy Xia Yu, and the most important thing is that every time he and Xia Yu clashed, it was himself who was injured in the end......
Quietly leading the carriage over, He Che waited for the masters to get out of the carriage, and then set off to Yihuafang.
Yihuafang saw Nangong Jingchen, and stepped forward enthusiastically, waving a handkerchief, with a charming smile on his face.
"Ouch, isn't this our Lanling prince, why do you have time to come and sit today? Do you want the old slave to call the begonias for you? ”
"Okay, let her come over and sing a song."
"Okay. Then why don't you go to the pavilion on the second floor? I've always kept it for you! ”
"Yes. By the way, let people serve the pot of good Biluochun. ”
Before the old bustard could speak, Baili Lan spoke out against it first, "What kind of tea do you drink at night, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to sleep." Old bustard, bring me a pot of Guihong Yangshen tea, and any snacks, also serve them together. ”
Hearing Baililan's voice, the old bustard knew that it was a woman. After opening a brothel for so many years, there have been many girls dressed as men, but the bustard has never seen such a heroic woman in front of her, even if she wears men's clothes, she is beautiful and moving, like a jewel, shining. Although this woman is wearing ordinary cloth clothes, she is still extravagant, it can be seen that she is a girl from a large family, and this prince has just gotten married, and on the second day of marriage, he brought a confidante to visit the brothel, and he is not afraid that the princess of the family will be angry? After speculating in her heart for a long time, the old bustard didn't come up with an answer, but one thing she knew was that a piece of Begonia's heart was wrongly paid.
Following the little slave, the group came to a elegantly decorated room on the second floor and sat down. When you close the door, the noise outside is completely cut off, and the room is filled with an elegant fragrance, which is refreshing.
Looking around casually, Baili Lan teased Nangong Jingchen and said, "That mercenary bustard can actually keep a room for you, it seems that you are still an old patron here." Hey, you don't have to put money into it. If that's true, you're wasting a good chance to make money. ”
Bai Lilan's rhetoric was strange, which made Nangong Jingchen interested, "So it can also be linked to making money?" That's a new statement, so can you explain, how did I miss the opportunity? ”
With slender fingers in a circle, Bai Lilan said, "You said how good it is for you to buy this place, not only to disguise yourself, let you do whatever you want, not afraid of being discovered, but also bring those officials who want to befriend you here and make a lot of money." It's a shame that you didn't expect such a way to kill two birds with one stone. After saying that, Bai Lilan still had a regretful expression, I don't know if it was for Nangong Jingchen or for the silver.
Baililan's small appearance of regretting her wealth made Nangong Jingchen smile. looked up at the woman opposite and said, "This method is indeed wonderful enough, but if it is discovered that the prince of Lanling is secretly running a brothel, I am afraid that our Nangong family will be disgraced." Fortunately, I don't have any younger siblings, otherwise, this Lanling prince would also change hands. ”
Rolling her eyes disdainfully, Baili Lan said, "Opportunities are always for the bold, if you are afraid of everything, how can you achieve great things?" ”
Opportunity is for the bold......
Bai Lilan's unintentional words made Nangong Jingchen's heart ripple. After pondering it carefully, Nangong Jingchen curled the corners of his lips, and was about to say something, when he heard a soft voice from outside the door.
"The prince is here?"
Just listening to this voice, Bai Lilan felt that her body softened, and she couldn't help but be curious about the owner of this voice.
"Come in."
As Nangong Jingchen's voice fell, the door was opened, and a woman wearing a pink gauze dress with a light purple trim and a gold-trimmed chest appeared at the door. The woman's skin is snowy, black as ink, her lips are lightly opened, and her eyes are wavering. The slender waist makes the man dream, and the posture is charming, which is irresistible. With such a posture, it is definitely a disaster to be placed in the palace, but it is a pity that I can only commit to a brothel and be merry with guests.
With a little regret, Baili Lan shook her head.
All the woman's attention was on Nangong Jingchen, so she didn't feel sorry for Baili Lan. Holding the pipa in her arms, the woman walked straight to Nangong Jingchen, bowed softly, seemed to be complaining, and said coquettishly, "The prince hasn't come to see the begonias for some days, and the begonias still think that you have a wife, so you forget the begonias." ”
The nose sniffed, and Baili Lan seemed to smell the smell of old vinegar in Shanxi.
"Because there have been a lot of things recently, I haven't been free." Slightly dodging Shen, Nangong Jingchen avoided the soft wattle stretched out by the begonia, looked to the side, and said, "This is ...... Bai Gongzi, my dear friend, came to Yihuafang for the first time and wanted to hear you sing and sing. ”
Hearing Nangong Jingchen say this, Haitang looked at Baili Lan. Just at that glance, Begonia felt like five thunderbolts.
She has always been proud of her beauty, but in front of this woman in men's clothes, she has become vulnerable. Carefully dressed, in front of her, it is like an imitation. Even if she wears the simplest coarse cloth clothes, she exudes an inviolable nobility that can only be seen from afar. When the initial shock slowly subsided, the inferiority complex in Begonia's heart swept over, making her bow her head, look aggrieved, and bow softly.
