Chapter 3 The Man with Bad Tastes
In November, if you are in Jingguo, the sky is low and the clouds are low, the snow dances in winter, the ground is frozen and the ice is thick, and it is difficult to see the light for several days. But in the snow country, it is like spring, the breeze is blowing, gently cool, the morning dew is dripping, and the fragrance of flowers is wafting.
In Fengyang Palace, light gauze roman, carved round window, elegant modeling, the house is furnished with rosewood table, glass oval mirror table, there is a gilded box, a jade comb on the table, carved wooden makeup box, etc., set up a table at the four corners of the palace, there is an incense bucket on the platform, the barrel is burned with sandalwood, a wisp of green smoke floats out from the hollow cylinder body, the clouds and smoke are swirling, meaning peace and stability.
There is a woman standing in the palace, this woman is the Snow Country left in the folk has just been found recently, but it is the most favorite daughter of the Snow Emperor, named Pinghua, she is lined with sideburns, her eyebrows are picturesque, a series of red clothes drag the ground long skirt, under the slender jade neck, a crisp chest like clotted white jade, half covered and half hidden, a bundle of plain waist, even not a hand.
"The princess is really beautiful...... the palace maid looked at Princess Pinghua standing in front of her, and couldn't help but praise.
Princess Pinghua gently walked to the glass oval mirror table, sat down, looked at her delicate and small face in the mirror, and asked softly, "What's the use of beauty?" It's just a side skin! ”
Princess Pinghua has long been accustomed to other people's praise of her, and her heart is completely unmoved, and she doesn't like those men who cast amazing glances at her, but she feels that those people just like her appearance, just like their hearts.
Although the whole country and even all other countries have received information this time, the Snow Country Gong mainly chooses horses, as long as they meet the requirements of more than three feet, white skin, and between twenty-five and thirty-five years old, but in fact, only 30% of those who come over can pass the first round of written exams, and after the second round of interviews, there are already very few, of course, the third level is set by Princess Pinghua herself.
Princess Pinghua closed her phoenix eyes, and she whispered softly as if to herself, "Why hasn't he come yet?" ”
The palace maid has been following Princess Pinghua, who has been with her since the princess entered the palace, she stepped forward, picked up the jade comb on the mirror table, and combed Princess Pinghua's satin-like hair, "Yes, the snow country is so powerful and prosperous, I believe that any man can not withstand such temptation." ”
Princess Pinghua couldn't help but sigh lightly, "I don't know if this identity is good or bad, if he really has such an intention, can I be happy again when I see him coming?" ”
"Princess." The little palace maid's mood was sad, she put down the jade comb, and walked to the princess's side, "Why think so much, the slave only knows that your life will definitely be happy, even if he has the intention to climb the noble at the beginning, this is normal, but if you see you in person, I believe you will definitely fall for you." ”
"Will it, will it?" Princess Pinghua opened her eyes, revealing a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.
The palace maid bowed her head, as if she had given Pinghua a reassurance.
When Princess Pinghua lay down, the palace maid walked out, covered the palace door, and instructed the high-haired palace maid who had been waiting at the door, "Xiao Zhao, the princess just lay down, you must be watchful, and no one is allowed to disturb you." ”
The palace maid named Xiao Zhao nodded hurriedly, seeing that she was leaving, and shouted, "Zhi'er, that ...... What if the emperor comes? ”
When Zhi'er heard this, she couldn't help but stare at her, "Of course let you in!" "It's like looking at an idiot's expression.
Xiao Zhao nodded, "Oh." She sighed, her heart was full of heart, this life of serving people is really bad, especially the palace maid who entered the palace, I thought I would eat fragrant and spicy food, but the result was good, eat two meals a day, and dare not drink, because I am afraid of running to the toilet too much and delay things, I only came to ancient times for a month, and I lost a lot of weight. Hey, come on, Mr. Bu...... Come and connect with me......
……
When Bu Youran and the business traveler entered the palace security check, they had to lose three people because there were too many people, and Boss Li subtracted two from the miscellaneous personnel, and one of them had to be removed, but it seemed that everyone in the team had a role.
Bu leisurely thought of Boss Li's careful care along the way, and was afraid of delaying their major affairs, so he took the initiative to ask to leave the caravan, but did not want to be rejected by Boss Li, and bluntly said that there must be her as an interpreter, Liu Ming, who had been silent, decided to stay outside the palace for the time being.
Bu Youran briefly explained to Liu Ming, and then entered the palace with the caravan.
They followed the eunuchs in the palace into the Taiji Palace, where the emperor and ministers of the Snow Kingdom were already waiting.
Following this journey, although Bu Youran knew that Boss Li was a businessman, he never knew what business he was doing, nor did he know that his influence was already so important to Snow Country.
Boss Li walked forward leisurely, until the center of the hall, she followed Boss Li to kneel and kowtow to the emperor.
Waiting for the Emperor of the Snow Country to sit down, he followed and stood on the side, and then raised his eyes slightly and peeked into the room.
Although the emperor of the Snow Country is wide and fat, his face is not fat, on the contrary, he has kind eyebrows and good eyes, and his facial features are upright, and it can be seen that he was once a beautiful man, and sitting on the right hand side below him is a minister wearing court clothes, this person has yellow hair, white and delicate skin, blue eyes, high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, is actually a foreigner?
Bu Youran was surprised, the foreigner had been talking to the Snow Emperor in English, and the two had a good conversation.
It wasn't until he waited for about a moment that the Snow Country Emperor asked Boss Li, "Is Boss Li's business of selling salt from the four countries okay?" ”
Boss Li nodded, "It's been good to be taken care of by the emperor." ”
The Snow Emperor and the foreign minister looked at each other, and the minister said to Boss Li in broken Chinese, "This year, we plan to increase the tax on salt sales by 10 percent." ”
Boss Li's eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and suddenly stretched out again, and he estimated in his heart how much profit his business would be due to the ten percent tax, and after a while, he already knew, "Yes." ”
"In this case, then I will continue to sign with you this year." Foreign ministers are also sophisticated.
It's also a lot of scheming.
The Snow Country Emperor, who was sitting in the middle, saw that the two sides had negotiated, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "Boss Li's journey has been bumpy and hard, this king has specially prepared a small family banquet for you, I hope you can attend on time later." ”
Boss Li got up and bowed his hand, "It's an honor to be here." ”
Stepping out of the hall until there were no eunuchs beside him, Boss Li asked in a low voice, "What were they talking about before?" ”
"There are a lot, some of them are interesting things about the people, and some ......" Bu leisurely glanced at Boss Li, "You." ”
Boss Li was only afraid that he had a premonition in his heart," continued. ”
"The foreigner said that you have been doing consignment sales in the past two years and have made a lot of profits, and they think that this piece of fat is a lot, and it is better to hand it over to your own countrymen." Step leisurely and tell the truth.
Boss Li nodded quietly, "Okay." ”
Bu Youran didn't get angry when he saw him, and admired his calmness in his heart, and he was really treacherous, and his mentality was also very important.
It was dark, and Yue Gang climbed up the branches, and walked leisurely into the backyard of the palace with Boss Li, and they were arranged to sit in the last row.
In fact, this time it was really the emperor's family banquet, the first row was naturally the emperor and the empress, and the queen mother, followed by the various palace concubines, and then the children who came down, and finally it was their turn to be the merchants.
Speaking of family banquets, it is meaningless, except for opera, it is song and dance, and there is only one palace maid performing the song and dance.
After watching it leisurely for a while, she was not interested, and she used her internal urgency excuse to go out for a while.
However, she didn't dare to wander around, after all, it was the palace land, she admired the flowers for a while, and wanted to turn around and want to go back, but suddenly heard the faintly familiar guqin sound in the pavilion opposite the flowers, and the key playing was "Ambush on All Sides"
Bu Youran was overjoyed, God, happiness came too quickly, and she was allowed to find her connector without warning?
She walked uncontrollably, not even noticing the guards standing outside the pavilion, and walked straight forward, until she had taken five steps, and was intercepted by the guards with knives and guns, who wanted to report in the name of an assassin.
Bu Youran's face turned pale with fright, and his mind was quickly thinking of various remedies, however, only the person in the pavilion closest to him in front of him, maybe she was his partner, so he hurriedly raised his voice and said, "This song is an ambush on ten sides, an ambush on ten sides......
"Stop!" A crisp sound came from the pavilion.
The guard immediately let go of his steps and stood with his head bowed, "Yes." ”
Walking leisurely and following the prestige, the pavilion was a little dim and bright, and the faces of the people in the hall could still be clearly seen.
The woman's bare skin is like condensation, her eyebrows are like a distant dai, her dark eyes are shining in the dim light, and she is wearing a light-colored Luo skirt, and the skirt moves with the wind, as beautiful and moving as a fairy descending from earth.
Bu was stunned, this person turned out to be Yuwen Xiaoru, who hadn't seen him for half a year?
"Presumptuous, when you see Princess Pinghua, don't you kneel?" Zhi'er, who was standing beside the princess, shouted coldly.
Bu leisurely woke up like a dream, and hurriedly knelt down to worship, and at the same time was surprised in his heart, he didn't think that she would become a princess of the snow country?
They didn't even recognize her just now?
Bu Youlan lay on the ground, her mind was churning, and she suddenly looked down and saw the hem of her skirt, and then realized that it seemed that Yuwen Xiaoru had always thought that she was a man before, but now she was wearing a skirt, and she was wearing a human skin mask at that time, so it was no wonder that she and Zhi'er felt strange to her.
"How do you know it's called 'Ambush on All Sides'?" Yuwen Xiaoru looked at Bu Youran, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.
"This piece was composed by a friend of the folk girl."
"Friends again?" Yuwen Xiaoru couldn't help but wonder, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, remembering that Ah Bu Gongzi also said that he was a friend, "What is your surname, and where is it?" ”
"The maid's surname is Bu. Gusu people. Bu leisurely replied as she was now in Snow Country.
"Your surname is Bu too?" Yuwen Xiaoru raised her voice in surprise, she turned her head to look at Zhi'er, "Is it a coincidence, or is it ......?"
Zhi'er shook her head and said leisurely, "You raise your head." ”
Walking leisurely, as they commanded, raised their chins.
Zhi'er said to Yuwen Xiaoru, "Princess, no, it may just be a coincidence." ”
Yuwen Xiaoru was a little unwilling, and asked again, "Have you ever been to Jingguo?" Do you know a son named Abu? ”
Bu Youran smiled, "The folk girl was born in the snow country since she was a child, and she has never been out of the border, how can she know the Jingguo people with the same surname as herself?" ”
"The princess is asking you something, why do you answer so much, just answer whether you know or don't know." Zhi'er thought that she was walking leisurely and behaved unruly, so she couldn't help but blame.
Bu leisurely bowed his head, "Back to the princess, I don't know." ”
Yuwen Xiaoru's face flashed a trace of loss, she sighed lightly, sat on the chair again, looked at the flowers in the yard with empty eyes, and after a long time, she asked again, "Then do you still know the score behind this song?" ”
Bu Youran thought that this might become a shortcut for her to enter the palace to find someone, so she couldn't help but hurriedly seize the opportunity and replied, "The folk girl knows." ”
"Then I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow to write the score, are you willing?"
"Folk Girl...... We're here to help. Bu Youran was pleasantly surprised, she suppressed the surging in her heart, and calmly replied.
The guards led the way and left leisurely.
Bu Youran turned around three times step by step, just too surprised, but didn't pay attention to the palace maid's dress.
Zhi'er followed Yuwen Xiaoru outside the palace, and now she has entered the palace, and she has become her personal first-class palace maid, she is dressed exactly like what she sees in the bracelet, with a high bun and a long skirt wrapped around her chest.
After Bu Youran noticed it, she was even happier in her heart, presumably she would soon be able to meet the person who connected with her.
"What are you looking at, why don't you go quickly?" The guard saw that Bu Youran's steps were slow, and he turned his head to look back, realizing that there were no rules at all, no
Ordering the rules, I couldn't help but shout.
Bu leisurely hurriedly followed quickly.
That night, Bu Youran and Boss Li went out of the palace and found Liu Ming, who was waiting in the Hongbin Building in the imperial capital, to rest for the night. The next day, a carriage was waiting at the door, and a guard came down, saying that Princess Pinghua had invited him to go leisurely.
Step leisurely on the carriage and go to Fengyang Palace.
In the palace, Yuwen Xiaoru was already sitting at the front of the guqin, her slender thin fingers were stroking the qin lightly, and after she came over leisurely, she didn't look up, just blindly focused, as if she was contemplating.
Originally, the score of "Ambush on All Sides" was very short, and when she was in Jingguo before, Yuwen Xiaoru had already learned as much as half, and there was less than a third left, but she couldn't be regarded as knowing, she deliberately wrote the score from beginning to end, and handed it to Zhi'er who was standing beside her.
Zhi'er glanced at it and handed it to Yuwen Xiaoru.
"Your song is exactly the same as that of Bu Gongzi." Yuwen Xiaoru said this, but couldn't help but sigh.
Bu leisurely looked left and right, but saw that there were only two people in the huge Pingyang Palace, Yuwen Xiaoru and Zhi'er, although she had doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to say more, after all, her identity is not as good as before.
"I always feel weird when I pick the sound here, and I tried several times but it didn't work......" Yuwen Xiaoru stopped at Fuqin, turned his head to look at Bu Youran.
Bu got up leisurely and walked to her side, "Take a look at the people's daughter." ”
……
After going back and forth, Bu Youran and Yuwen Xiaoru gradually became acquainted, and Bu Youran already had a certain understanding of her personality, so the two quickly became friends like Jin Lan.
The night was dark, and I walked leisurely back to Hongbin Building, and saw that several rooms were empty, and then I learned that they went to Xingfang Pavilion, a famous brothel in the imperial capital, after the shopkeeper inquired, so they dressed up in disguise and went with them as men's clothes.
As soon as he entered the door, the big teapot carried the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea leisurely, brought a small plate of melon seeds, and asked humbly, "Does this son have a candidate in mind?" ”
The so-called once born and twice ripe, Bu Youran is quite familiar with the rules here, she took out a piece of broken silver from the money bag and stuffed it into the big teapot, "Did you see a group of people coming here just now?" ”
"A bunch of people...... "Big Teapot pondered, "but seven?" ”
Bu leisurely nodded, "Where are the few of them?" ”
The big teapot replied, "They opened a private room on the second floor and ordered Miss Shun'er to go up." ”
"So many, so many people only ordered one?" Step leisurely surprised.
"Isn't it?" The big teapot couldn't help but complain, "It's not interesting to say." ”
Boring? Bu leisurely couldn't help but stand up, playing NP and saying that it was boring? Besides, thinking that a fake Taoist like Liu Ming was actually among them, I couldn't help but be even more curious.
Bu walked leisurely and quickly to the second floor, and slammed the door in the direction specified by the big teapot, wanting to play a prank on a few of them, but he didn't think about it, but he saw it......
A man sits with his back to a low table, he holds a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, there are two men standing next to him, a foot in front of several people is a floor-to-ceiling transparent glass, behind the glass is a wooden bed, the bed is covered with pink satin bedding, on the left is a table, on the right is a long spring stool, there are various spring pictures on the wall, and the most blood-pumping is that there is a woman sitting on the spring stool, ** leaning against a prostitute.
Forehead......
Likes and dislikes!
Bu Youran's cheeks couldn't help but blush, his heart beat faster, seeing such a picture, the key is voyeurism, it is really exciting.
"Is this boy coming in too?" A long voice came from the mouth of the man who sat with his back to him.
