Chapter 4 The Purple Gold Pavilion is hidden in the abyss
Walking through this familiar courtyard, Murong Yening couldn't help but drift through a person's name in his mind.
Like a spring breeze, when you raise your eyes, the begonia flowers have bloomed.
My mind wandered, stuck in the summer of six years ago......
Under the blooming begonia tree, a little girl sits, letting tears run down her eyes, and a thin whimper feels like an illusion.
"Why are you crying?"
A voice came in from above, interrupting it all.
The girl hurriedly wiped the tears from her cheeks with her hands, looked up to find the owner of the voice, but found a young man sitting there lazily on the wall, looking at her with a pair of beautiful eyes, faintly revealing worry.
Gentle as jade, this is what the girl thought of when she first saw him.
"Who are you?" With a hint of suspicion, a hint of reproach, and more of a surprise, the girl spoke.
"My name is Xu Yeyang," the corners of his mouth rose slightly, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place!" β
"Where are you going?"
"You'll find out when you go!"
The girl took the boy's outstretched hand.
That girl was herself many years ago, Murong Yening. She still didn't understand why she did that in the first place, why she accepted the invitation of the strange boy so easily, or maybe his eyes were too pure and clear......
Drunken Pavilion Xuan
"Miss, why should we move out, isn't it very good in Murong Mansion?"
"Yes, it's good, it's much more comfortable than in the inn, why don't I let the coachman take you back?"
"Huh? What am I going to do when I go back, it's Miss's home, not Zixuan's home......"
At this moment, Zi Xuan could only cover up the embarrassment in his heart with a smirk. How could she forget that the young lady of her family was not a gentle and elegant lady, and if someone else brushed off her and said something unpleasant to her, she would have to go out and beat her to death. But her young lady is very kind, and of course she will not really beat you to death with a stick, because she will either anger you to death or scare you half your life with a few words.
But the next second Zixuan stepped into the inn, he couldn't help muttering in his heart again. Why does Miss want to live in this kind of inn, even the little black house in the Valley of Forgotten Worries is better than this, right? She thought that the young lady had bought another courtyard in the capital, but she didn't expect her to tell herself that she wanted to stay in the inn! Moving out of the guest house is unreliable enough, but why don't you live in a decent inn, is there a famine in Murong Mansion, and even this little money is there? Miss, if you have money, you can borrow it from your uncle! Anyway, he can't run out of money...... But he doesn't seem to have a place to use the money......
"Miss, are you running out of silver? Before leaving the Valley of Forgotten Worries, the master gave Zixuan some silver taels in case the young lady needed it from time to time. β
"Ha, it turns out that you are worried about this," a smile tugged at the corner of Ye Ning's mouth, "Don't worry, Miss Ben is not short of silver if she lacks anything now." β
Xiao Er, who was standing beside the two of them and helping to get things, also heard Zixuan's overtones, and was obviously a little unhappy at the moment.
"Girl, what do you mean by that? Do you only think about living with us when you don't have money? Our drunken pavilion is a famous inn in the capital! β
"She is my distant relative, she has come to the capital for the first time and has never seen the world, so please don't take her words to heart," Ye Ning said and took out a heavy piece of gold from her baggage, "Please accept it, can you take us up now?" β
"Yo, Miss, you're too polite, I'll take you up, it's really time for you to come, our inn has just been expanded, and the furniture on the top floor has been changed all over the ......"
"Miss, he's just a snob, and you reward him with so much money!" Zi Xuan muttered dissatisfiedly.
"If you want to sleep on the street, I won't stop you......"
"Little ...... Sister! β
"This is our best room." Xiao Er led them up to the top floor in one breath, then stopped, opened the door of a guest room and said.
"Yes, it's not bad." Murong Yening nodded, as if he was also very satisfied.
"If you don't have any orders, the little one will go down first."
"Yes."
Xiao Er also won the reward, and the guest officer was also satisfied, so he naturally ran downstairs happily.
"Wow, I didn't expect the downstairs to be tattered, but the upstairs decoration is so good! Wow, this bed is so comfortable, it's more comfortable than the Valley of Forgotten Worries and the Murong Mansion! As soon as Xiao Er closed the door and left, Zi Xuan immediately put away his previous mean face and began to sigh.
In fact, she couldn't help but almost scream as soon as she went up to the third floor. There are a total of five floors in Zuitingxuan, due to the ingenious design, there is also a mezzanine hidden above the fifth floor, although there are only three rooms, but it is at least three grades higher than ordinary rooms. What's even more ingenious is that from the outside, Zuitingxuan is really only five stories high. Because Daye has a clear regulation on the height of the buildings in the capital, the general inns and restaurants are built to the top of the sky when they reach the fifth floor. The first floor of Zui Tingxuan is a place to receive guests, and the second floor is an entertainment place that ordinary people can enter and exit, with wine, delicacies and even beautiful women, which are available in many restaurants or teahouses, so there is nothing new. From the third floor, the entire layout and dΓ©cor have a new look, and each floor is more luxurious than the other. In other words, as long as you have enough silver, there is nothing you can't do in Zuitingxuan. And there's the benefit you can't get anywhere else, and that's that you can get any information you want to know, provided you have enough silver, of course. But the last thing Murong Yening lacks at the moment is silver!
"Alright, pack your things."
"Miss loves to order others, and she doesn't do anything when she is idle!"
"Because I'm a young lady now, little sister Zixuan!"
Because he didn't like the hustle and bustle of the hall, the evening meal was passed to the room by Murong Yening. Immediately after the meal, someone came in to remove the food and clean the table. All of this was incredibly fast, but it took less than a cup of tea, and the table top was as spotless as when Ye Ning first moved in, and a few plates of delicate snacks were also placed.
"Miss, is this tea still to your liking?"
Murong Yening gently brushed the new leaves floating on the tea surface with the lid of the celadon cup, and raised his eyelids a little playfully, only to see that it was the previous Xiao Er who spoke, and then smiled.
"Drunken Pavilion Xuan's things are naturally good," Seeing that Xiao Er's face was happy, Ye Ning changed his words, "I heard that Lord Xuan recently got a batch of good tea, called Wo Yuan, it is rumored that this tea was born in the most barren land, after a violent heat and cold, twenty-seven years before it grows, and now it has gathered the aura of heaven and earth, it must not be a vulgar thing, I don't know if I am lucky enough to see it?" β
"This ...... The villain didn't know that the lord of Xuan had obtained this thing, not to mention the tea that had only grown up for more than 20 years, and the villain had never heard of it! β
"I never say anything groundless, I say yes, naturally you have it in this drunken pavilion, you just have to convey my words to the master of your family."
"Yes, the little ones are going to go, you can rest first."
"Yes."
Closing the door, Xiao Er took advantage of the faint light in the corridor to quietly spread out his clenched five fingers, oh my God, it was a leaf-shaped amethyst, of the highest quality, shining brilliantly in the dark night......
Xiao Er couldn't help pinching his face, "Oops, it hurts!" Then a trace of doubt and fear gradually surfaced in his heart: Is it really just an ordinary rich daughter!?
Inside the Purple Pavilion,
A man in a black brocade robe stood by the window, as if looking at the night scene on the street, when suddenly he seemed to hear something interesting, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.
