Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Moon Tower
The girls of Baoyuelou do not embroider, they run an embroidery needle business, the so-called as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, and the kung fu of these girls is good...... Today is to come in disguise for leisure, so Fan Xian and his entourage changed to an ordinary carriage in one place, and came to a secluded place in Xicheng, stopping in front of a three-story wooden building.
Fan Xian moved a little on his eyebrows today, and nodded a few small pockmarks on his left cheek, which made his face a little darker, in a society where information is not developed, I believe that few people can guess that he is now the famous Fan Tisi in Kyoto.
Baoyue Tower is a wooden building, and if the general wooden building is built to more than three floors, the interval between the floors will be compressed to ensure the stability of the wooden building. But the distance between the buildings of this Baoyue Building is very high, and even standing in front of the building, you can clearly see the skylight behind the building.
Fan Xian knew that the wood of this building must be the best wood transported from the north, so he walked towards the building, and his palm seemed to unconsciously brush over the huge pillar next to the door, confirming his judgment.
At this time, it was too early, but there were already many guests sitting in the hall on the first floor, facing a small platform about Xu Fangyuan, and a plainly dressed girl on the stage was playing the guqin, and the sound of the piano was loud, enough to clear the heart.
Fan Xian squinted slightly, feeling more and more that this courtyard was not simple. The three of them followed the instructions of Zhike to the second floor, chose a table behind the building and sat down, Fan Xian sat at the edge of the railing, and motioned Deng Ziyue and Shi Yanli to sit down with their eyes. Leaning on the railing, his eyes drooped slightly, and he found that the picture of the fairy palace was painted with blue and gold paint under the railing, and he couldn't help but think of this newly opened building, even the details are so luxurious, the owner's wealth is really strong, it seems that Mu Tie's judgment is not wrong, it must have something to do with those princes.
This Baoyue Building does reveal a trace of eccentricity, and this eccentricity comes from elegance and inconsistency.
does not fit the formula, does not fit the paradigm of jì courtyard.
There is no turtle to greet him, there is no bustard to coax with fat powder, and I can't even see a few glamorous women with bare breasts and veils, with a fresh smell, it doesn't look like a jì courtyard. Fan Xian has been in Beijing for a year and a half, and he has been involved in this kind of ** a few times, but it is the first time he has encountered this pattern, and when he leaned on the railing and looked out, his heart moved slightly.
This building stands on the street, the place is secluded, and behind the building, there is a lake, the lake is in the shape of a long and narrow lake, which is the famous thin lake in Kyoto.
A few people sat on the edge of the railing, feeling the cool autumn breeze gently blowing on the lake, which was indescribably comfortable. Fan Xian couldn't help but tapped the railing and squinted his eyes - there are many small courtyards built along the banks of the thin lake behind the building, which are hidden in the autumn trees, occasionally revealing the white ash courtyard wall, extremely elegant, but his eyes are extremely sharp, and he has already seen the sewage ditch behind a small courtyard, faintly stained with silk grease and pink red, and he knows that there are many girls living in it.
Just like visiting a famous mountain, there needs to be fog in front of the mountain in order to arouse the tourists' feelings of exploration to the greatest extent.
The three-story wooden building of the Baoyue Building is like a cloud mist in front of the famous mountain, hiding those small courtyards in the back, so as to arouse the desire of piáo guests to find fragrance to the greatest extent.
The operator of this jì courtyard is really very smart, if the other party is a corner sè that can be bought, and he doesn't have those jì women's lives in his hands, Fan Xian may be really interested in asking him to go to the inner library to take care of it.
However, for the Qinglou to make a living, Fan Xian has always had a very pure attitude, piáo guest is piáo guest, jì woman is jì woman, one is for money, the other is for meat, even if there are 300 poems on the bread of pork belly, it can't erase the essence of this matter.
He just glanced at the courtyard by the lake a few times, and then couldn't help but shake his head, this soft knife villa, I'm afraid that I will earn a lot, and there is another idea that is a little bad, he always seems to be thinking, under the soil of those elegant courtyards, are there some weak women's bones buried?
When he was a little distracted, Shi Xianli had already ordered a few kinds of wine and food. The service of Baoyuelou was excellent, and after a while, two thirteen or fourteen-year-old little maids came over with food plates, and gently rested those extremely jīng porcelain plates on the table, without making a sound, and they were really well-trained.
The food on the plate is also extremely attractive, a camellia shrimp exudes a faint fragrance, a few yellowish and translucent oil flowers float quietly on a small bowl of chicken soup boiled dried silk noodles, a home-style oil-soaked beef slices smeared with three finger-wide green and white onion shreds, and a few side dishes with wine are also very beautiful.
After the clear-eyed little guy poured the three of them wine, Shi Yanli waved them back. Fan Xian glanced at him with a smile, and admired the natural freedom of this protégé the most, and dared to make up his mind in front of him.
The clumsy wooden spoon moved slightly in the chicken soup, and the aroma that had been hiding under the soup noodles came out, even Fan Xian couldn't help but be slightly stunned, took the bowl handed over by Shi Xianli and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise it!
............ The pseudonym used by Fan Xian today is Chen Gongzi, which was taken with Chen Pingping.
On the wine table, the three of them were like ordinary friends and friends, enjoying the scenery and food, drinking and chatting, and only telling some interesting stories in Beijing. Deng Ziyue is the person in charge of the Qi Nian group, worried about the safety of Tisi, in such a place where he doesn't know friends and enemies, so he has always been a little unable to let go, a little restrained, but under the pressure of the wine and Fan Xian's awe-inspiring gaze, he finally relaxed a little.
After three rounds of drinking, Shi Yanli finally couldn't help frowning, and asked in a low voice, "Chen Gongzi, what are we here for today?"
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Of course, I'm here to try the most luxurious enjoyment in Kyoto......" After confirming that no one was eavesdropping around, he said softly: "Mu Tie told me such a place, of course he has what he meant, but he didn't dare to explain it, and there must be a hidden secret in it, so I occasionally moved to take a look." ”
Shi Yanli shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Although I also pity the woman in this building, but ...... Selling jokes is common all over the world, and Qinglu allows it, so why should adults put themselves in danger. ”
Fan Xian took a thin and translucent beef slice with the tip of his chopsticks and put it into his lips, chewed it slowly, and said with a smile: "This Baoyuelou killed four women in a month, and the ruthlessness of the attack is that even this son is a little inferior, so it can be regarded as a study." ”
Shi Xianli frowned and said: "Criminal cases are handled by the Kyoto Prefecture Yin, and the Supervision Yuan is only responsible for the officials of the Supervision Yuan, and has no right to meddle in this matter at all, my lord...... I think I have another idea. ”
Deng Ziyue drank some wine, became a little bolder, and said: "What we want to investigate is the crime of dereliction of duty in Kyoto Prefecture." And ......" He glanced at Fan Xian, and after getting permission, he lowered his voice and said: "The real owner of this Baoyue Tower, the Supervision Yuan has not found out, so I feel a little strange." ”
Shi Xianli was shocked in his heart, thinking that the secret agents of the Supervision Yuan were all over the capital, and all the princes' mansions were afraid that there were nails, many eyes and ears, and the strength was amazing, and it only took one month to find out the entanglement between the second prince and Xinyang, and Baoyue Lou was only a jì courtyard restaurant on the surface, and the Supervision Yuan couldn't find out its real owner!
He pondered in his heart, there was only one possibility for this matter--the owner of this jì courtyard and ...... Fan Xian knew that he understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "This owner can actually make the eight major places feel tricky, it seems that someone in the courtyard is covering for him." ”
The most powerful thing about the Supervision Yuan is that it is his professional xìng and complex and systematic organizational structure, and it is extremely difficult for the courtyard itself to have major loopholes, and there is a Zhu Ge in one place, which has shocked all those in the know. Unexpectedly, two days after Zhu Ge died, there were people in the Supervision Yuan who began to contribute to the princes, which was what Fan Xian was most worried about.
He is the commander of the Supervision Yuan, how can he allow someone to spread wild in his own one-acre and three-third of his land? Therefore, he must come to see this Baoyue Tower for himself today, to see who is quietly putting chopsticks into his bowl, and by the way, to adjust the boring life of his poor subordinates.
............, "What should the student do?" Although Shi Yanli was calm, he was a scholar after all, and his expression was a little nervous when he did such a thrilling thing for the first time.
Fan Xian said: "You have no power to restrain the chicken, since you have it, it is natural to just take a look at it." He patted Shi Yanli on the shoulder: "Public funds will entertain you." ”
Shi Yanli was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized what the adult meant, and when he thought that he was still unmarried, his face immediately turned red. Fan Xian was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "How can you say that you and Hou Jichang are also talented young people in Beijing, haven't you visited the building before, and there are not a few good girls?"
Shi Yanli was ashamed and said: "Students are incompetent, students are incompetent. ”
Fan Xian couldn't help but laugh and said, "In this kind of place, the word incompetence can't be said casually. ”
............ After a while, the sky is late, and the sunset reflects the lake, turning into a long oblique seal, but the weather is not too good, so the golden seal on the water is a little bleak. The lights in the Baoyue Building are quickly lit up, as if someone has cast a spell, in a very short period of time hanging countless colored lights, the whole building is illuminated, the lights are reflected on the lake below, like the stars entering the water, it is much more dazzling than the sunset.
The lights are up, Baoyue Tower ushered in its most lively hour of the day, the shadow is enough to see a lot of sedan cars parked in front of the building, although the people who come down are wearing regular clothes, but there is still a self-respecting official atmosphere between the walks, it seems that they are some Beijing officials who often come, and most of these people are accompanied by rich businessmen.
Fan Xian can use the money from the Public High School of the Supervision Yuan to open the buds for Shi Xianli, but the officials of the Sixth Department are still used to eating big households, which is both safe and face-saving.
The side of the fence was slightly darker, and the figures of the three of them were caged, Fan Xian squinted his eyes to see the light, but he saw a few officials who had seen at the banquet, but those high-ranking officials entered the box directly, and they didn't see who was accompanying them. After a while, the box was probably full, and there were more and more people on the second floor, and the sound of silk and bamboo was mixed with the sound of cheering and cheering, and the women who were wearing bandeau and looking forward to being charming also began to walk between the buildings, and their popularity grew.
Fan Xian looked at the leftover food and cold wine on his table, thinking that if the owner of this building knew his identity, he was afraid that it would be a different situation.
"Have fun. He commanded.
Shi Yanli said nervously: "My lord, where are you going?"
Fan Xianying said: "I'm here for leisure, of course, I also have to relax, as the so-called don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." ”
He said softly, gently, and purely, although Deng Shi and the others had to believe it, they always had some strange feelings, and it seemed that this was the case if they didn't enter the jì courtyard and got a jì woman.
Fan Xian said with a smile: "When you stay for a while, remember to talk in a cliché, you don't need to ask any owner, just ask these girls about their common news, the more trivial the better, of course, if it's inconvenient, don't ask, don't let people see that we have other intentions, this is the most important thing." ”
Deng Ziyue glanced at Lord Tisi, and then he really believed that the Lord was here to investigate, not to borrow the edict, but it seemed that it was not the turn of an official of his level to make a move, let alone come to the dignified Lord Tisi.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――― at this time, the lights in the small courtyards by the lake downstairs had been lit one by one, and the kumquat was blooming.
Deng Ziyue got up, waved his hand to call the little servant, and said, "Arrange it for our master." ”
The little guy stretched out his hand to take the gold with the thickness of his fingers, sank slightly, and was shocked to realize that these three were actually high rollers, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly notified the well-tongued acquaintance. Mr. Zhike hurriedly came over, and hinted at the apology for the poor hospitality in a very soft and euphemistic manner, and then led the three of them downstairs, carefully supporting them all the way, and chatting at the entrance of the road, as if he wanted to find out where the three high-rollers came from.
Fan Xian ignored him, and walked forward backwards with his hands in his hands.
Shi Xianli stood in the back and talked with the acquaintance with a smile, only saying that he was a talent from Jiangnan, and he came to the building, but he didn't know what was interesting in the building.
Zhike said with a smile: "Three masters, in our Baoyue Tower, there is only what you can't think of, there is nothing we can't do, you can play whatever you want." ”
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Fan Xian's back, of course he could see that this Chen Gongzi was the main person among the three people today, just looking at the bearing of this Chen Gongzi, he was really not a mortal, he didn't listen to his own introduction, and he didn't disdain to look at himself, and he estimated which son of the Jiangnan family was right.
............ The design of the Baoyue Building is very ingenious, from the restaurant down a turn, then to the lakeside, those faintly have the sound of the warbler swallow out of the courtyard is close in front of you, the two worlds, is connected by a few stone paths between the grass, do not disturb each other, do not interfere with each other.
The three of them entered a courtyard under the leadership of Zhike, which was not better than upstairs, as soon as they entered the hospital, there were several beauties who greeted them, smiling and smiling, and holding the arms of the three people into the room, just like welcoming the return home.
The room is warm, a warm box is placed in the corner, in this early autumn weather, some chūn warmth is added, and there are potted fake flowers on the wooden table in one corner, and the petals are all embroidered by Nansi, jīng is unusually beautiful.
A burst of greasy fragrance came into his nose, Fan Xian frowned, then turned back with a smile, and said to Shi Xianli, who was embarrassed on a plump woman: "You relax, there is no tigress at home." ”
He untied the robe outside, and the woman next to him took it neatly, and said gently: "The wine and food that the master used, at this time, is it to listen to the music, or ...... Drink more?"
Fan Xian sat on the soft couch, waved his hand and said, "Set up a table again, and you want to sing songs, you pinch me first." ”
The woman who served him looked happy and said gratefully, "Ye is really considerate. Hurriedly put away his coat, and the little maid poured tea outside, carefully placed it in front of the three of them, and brought a few plates of rare seasonal fruits in Kyoto, and then climbed on the soft couch on his knees, and a pair of Rouyi gently put on Fan Xian's shoulders, and slowly pinched them lightly.
Fan Xian knew that the more he spent here, the more benefits he would get from serving his woman, feeling the strength on his shoulders, thinking that the service of this Baoyue Building was really good, and then glanced at Shi Xianli, who was still a little uneasy on the side, and Deng Ziyue, who looked like a strict face and was still rectifying, he couldn't help but scold in his heart.
The woman behind her who rubbed Fan Xian's shoulders fell lower and lower, and the two soft balls directly pressed against Fan Xian's back. Fan Xian suddenly thought that he hadn't asked the girl's name yet, and he hadn't even taken a serious look at the other party's appearance, but somehow, he was a little surprised by his calmness and ruthlessness, and after a little silence, he asked softly, "What is the girl's name?"
"Yan'er. ”
The woman's fragrant sleeves were on Fan Xian's chest, and her soft and plump breasts rubbed Fan Xian's back slightly, and the voice of the reply was extremely soft, ringing in his ears, and the slightly hot breath was blowing into his ear holes.
Fan Xian couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and scratched his ears with extreme scenery, and explained, "I'm afraid of itching." ”
He naturally knew that Yan'er was a pseudonym, but the strange thing was that at his previous glance, although this woman was dressed up quite thickly, it could be seen that she was indeed a beautiful embryo, so sè, could it be that she was just a very ordinary member in this Huyue Building, and she could be used to casually greet these "nameless people"?
Just as the chūnsè was growing in the room, the girl who was singing had already entered the house. Fan Xian looked at the girl's face, and his heart moved slightly, thinking that even she was snatched by Baoyue Tower?
