At this time, it was almost dusk, and the half-human-high lampstands on the side of the street were lit one by one by the city guards, emitting a gentle light. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The INFO lampstand and the lanterns hanging in front of the shops on the side of the road illuminate the entire Yingdu street very brightly.

In the Yunxiang Pavilion, it has already been brightly lit.

It seems that the little marquis is a frequent visitor here, and as soon as he enters the door, he is welcomed to a house in the backyard.

The attendant was a young man with a thin beard, about twenty years of age, with a delicate face, dressed plainly and decently, and obviously well-trained in manners and speech, neither humble nor arrogant, and modest and courteous. He does things very neatly, standing in the corner when he doesn't speak, as if there is no such person in the room, but when he is needed, he will immediately appear where he is needed.

This young man and the little marquis have obviously known each other for a long time.

Lodge.

The little marquis twisted his round body and leaned on the low couch in the middle, grabbed a fruit from the fruit case, crunched and gnawed two bites, and beckoned Chu Qingdao: "Senior brother, sit and sit!"

Chu Qing sat down on the guest couch next to him.

A couch is a kind of utensils that can be used to sit and semi-recline, which is shorter than a chair, more like a small bed, or a lower sofa, and it is very comfortable to sit on. Some of the backrests and cushions on the couch are animal fur, some are cotton cushions, and the couch cushions here are embroidered brocade silk on the outside, but I don't know what material is made of them inside, and they are not only soft to sit on, but also elastic, exuding a constant temperature.

The little marquis casually ordered: "Please Miss Ruyun." ”

The young man listened to the waiter, stooped down and bowed slightly, took two steps back, and went out of the house to whisper to the boy outside the door. In this vacancy, there were already several maids, who brought wine and delicacies, and soon arranged a sumptuous banquet in front of the two people.

After a while, I heard a small and light footsteps, coming from outside, from far and near, and stopped outside the door.

The attendant stood by the door and whispered: "Little Marquis, Miss Ruyun has arrived." ”

The little marquis took a sip of sake and responded, "Please." Then he leaned over with a smile on his face and whispered to Chu Qing: "Hehe, junior brother, this Ruyun girl is the number one girl in Yunxiang Pavilion!

Chu Qing also followed his gaze.

The light wooden door opens leisurely. Then, a jewel-bearing foot kicked up the white veil and stepped softly past the door frame. In the jingle of rings, the beautiful woman came in with a long Yaoqin pouch obliquely. With his head down, a few strands of black hair were appropriately scattered in front of his forehead. She was slightly blessed and said, "I've seen the little marquis." ”

"Hey, okay, please take a seat!" the little marquis's eyes were almost straight.

Ruyun stepped forward, took the Yaoqin out of the piano bag, gently placed it on the piano case, stretched out his slender jade hand, and plucked the sound a few times, making a melodious ding-dong sound.

The little marquis coughed dryly, came back to his senses, turned his head and asked Chu Qing: "Senior brother, how is it!" But seeing Chu Qing rummaging through the plate with chopsticks, he took out a lot of chili peppers and was still on the case, and his attention was not attracted by Ruyun at all.

Chu Qing heard the little marquis's question: "Huh?" raised his head, realizing that the little marquis was asking him what he thought of Ruyun, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Well, that's good." "In fact, what kind of beauty he hadn't seen in his previous life, hadn't he seen a real person, and hadn't seen TV? What's more, this Ruyun girl, to be honest, was a little blessed, which didn't quite match his aesthetic concept of thinness as beauty. The figures of those girls are a few points better than this girl.

Ruyun couldn't help but glance at Chu Qing in surprise: This guest is really strange.

The little marquis heard Chu Qing's perfunctory and pursed his lips: "I don't know how to appreciate it, such a charming beauty! ”

The soft voice of the clouds should be, caressing the strings, emitting a flowing sound, playing an unknown elegant tune.

Although the tune is classical and beautiful, Chu Qing didn't have much heart to listen to the music at this time, so he drank a bowl of porridge that day and vomited! I was already hungry! When I saw the food at this time, there were other things in my eyes, and I just cared about finding meat from the dishes to eat! On the contrary, all the dishes on this table were very spicy, and Chu Qing was not very good at eating spicy, but he was so hungry that he had no choice but to chew hard, and he hissed and sweated when he ate directly!

When the little marquis saw Chu Qing's eating appearance, he couldn't cry or laugh, and commanded: "Sheng Yi water!"

Chu Qing gulped half a mouthful of water, and wiped his mouth with his cuffs without any image: "Thank you, senior brother!"

The little marquis sighed: "Senior Brother Chu, you don't have a mouthful, such a delicious thing," glanced at Chu Qing's messy food table, "You actually ate so ......"

Chu Qing took a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said while fanning his mouth: "What! It's too spicy!

The little marquis almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, and exclaimed: "Is this spicy? This spicy degree is at most seven or eight degrees! If you want to taste the spicy degree of twenty degrees, you can't ...... it."

"What? This isn't spicy enough?" Chu Qing exclaimed.

The little marquis shook his head and smiled: "This is where to go, I will take you to eat twenty degrees of human taste in the future!"

Chu Qing hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no!"

The little marquis laughed: "Teasing you! I can't eat spicy, that's a pity, there is nothing spicy about the delicacy of our Chu country!"

After a while.

The waiter came to reply embarrassedly: "Little Hou Ye, this, this kitchen said that you can't cook without chili peppers......"

"What?" Chu Qing was stunned.

The little marquis swallowed the fat in his mouth and threw the chopsticks in his hand: "What? young master, I can't speak well, right?"

Listen to the waiter apologize again and again: "The little marquis is angry, the little marquis is angry, I am really afraid that it will be difficult to swallow and snub the distinguished guests!"

Chu Qing came out to play a round: "Okay, okay, senior brother, I've almost eaten too, so I don't have to bother," picked up the wine bottle, "Come, senior brother, I will give you a drink." ”

The little marquis put down his body stupidly and said to the waiter: "Go and tell the back kitchen, I'll come back next time, if you don't have it, hum!"

The attendant hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, the little one will go and pass the word!" After speaking, he left the room.

The little marquis picked up the wine bottle and said to Chu Qing: "Senior brother, please!" sat opposite Chu Qing and drank.

Before the banquet, the little marquis flattered Miss Ruyun from time to time. Ruyun only lowered his head to play the piano, pretending not to see it, but occasionally glanced at Chu Qing in the guest bed.

Yaoqin is song after song, and sake is bottled after bottle.

For the little marquis, listening to music and drinking is a joy in the world.

However, for Chu Qing, it was a bit boring. The elegant music played by Ruyun is really not appreciated by Chu Qing, a layman, and can only be used as background music for drinking.

The sake is sour, the food is spicy, and the beauty is fat, if Chu Qing hadn't looked at the face of the little marquis, he would have wanted to leave a long time ago.

But the little marquis is very interested, so let's drink it with him, anyway, Chu Qing is not familiar with the place, and there is nowhere to go.

The two of them drank until midnight, drunk in a daze. When the wine was half-drunk, Miss Ruyun had already taken Yaoqin and retreated, and only four maids and the attendant were left in the house.

Suddenly, there was a cacophony outside, mixed with the light of a sparkling fire.

The firelight spread into a monstrous fire in the blink of an eye!
