Chapter 16 Autumn Terrace
Xiao Yu waited for a while, and Xiao Yue had already returned.
At this time, Xiao Yue was wearing a white high-necked brocade robe, although it was a little weird, but it just covered the Adam's apple, holding a white jade folding fan in his hand, and his hair was combed into a man's bun.
It's a bit of a handsome boy.
"Brother, how is it?" Xiao Yue turned around in place and said, Xiao Yue used to call Xiao Yu like this, but after Xiao Jin was born, he slowly changed his name to eldest brother.
Xiao Yu looked Xiao Yue up and down: "It's not bad." Xiao Yue at this age has not changed her voice, and the flaws in her voice are not too big.
"Then let's go. Xiao Yue said excitedly.
Xiao Yu nodded, seeing Xiao Yue's eager appearance, Xiao Yu was also a little looking forward to meeting Qin Mumian, the famous Qin girl in the Eastern Capital.
......
Autumn Terrace is on the back of the inner city of the eastern capital. Although it is called a platform, it is actually a very large building. It covers an area almost the size of half of the Anguo Mansion.
This place is different from other fat powder places, there is no hustle and bustle, there is no noise, more secluded.
Although the exterior is carved and painted, it does not have a sense of magnificence, but is like a celebrity mansion, with a quiet and ancient meaning.
Of course, no matter how elegant this autumn platform looks, it can't hide its essence as a place of fireworks, and it is also a veritable gold cave.
It's a big place with very few guests. Ordinary petty officials and businessmen are not qualified to come in at all.
Even if it's not called a girl here, a simple table of banquets is more than ten times that of the restaurant outside.
If you call two girls to accompany you, you can't stop it a hundred times.
No matter people or things, to a certain extent, they will pay attention to elegance, and this is the case with Qiutai. As the first green building in the eastern capital, Qiutai is no longer a simple skin and meat business, but more Qing officials, and the guests are generally either powerful, rich, or famous.
It is the upper route.
Today's Qin Mumian, Miss Qin will perform on the autumn platform today.
The Qing officials in this autumn Taizhong generally learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs since childhood, and they are also stunning beauties. It often attracts the powerful to spend a lot of money.
And an "Oiran" like Qin Mumian is sought after by countless noble sons.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue took Xiao Yue's carriage to the gate of Qiutai.
Immediately a little servant came up to meet him.
The little guys at the door are all very eye-catching, Xiao Yue and Xiao Yu look very faceless, they should be the first time to come to Qiutai. But ordinary people are usually shocked by the luxury of Qiutai when they come to Qiutai, but these two people didn't even blink their eyelids, obviously they are used to seeing rich and noble people.
The two little guys had smiles on their faces, and bowed over and invited Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue into the autumn platform.
Xiao Yue casually gave the two little guys a little reward.
It almost made the faces of the two little guys smile.
Xiao Yu looked at it with a calm face, once upon a time he paid for it himself, but now it is feng shui in turn.
Entering the gate, the interior decoration of the autumn platform is also very elegant, the plain curtain separates the space, the surrounding walls are hung with celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and there are elegant objects such as plum bamboo orchids in the corner.
In this very elegant place, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue are talking about this very unelegant thing.
"Do you have enough money? Xiao Yu casually glanced at the interior decoration of Qiutai, looked careless, and said in his mouth.
Now Xiao Yu is very poor, only the two hundred taels of silver he received from the account office a few days ago.
Xiao Yue opened the fan with a "poof" and shook it twice: "Brother, don't worry." ”
"That's good. Xiao Yu nodded.
......
Within a few steps, a maid stepped forward to guide the two of them.
"Today, Qin Mumian's performance has a lot of guests, so the venue is arranged in the back hall. The maid in the goose-yellow dress explained softly: "Two sons, please come with me." ”
Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue followed the maid, turned left and right in the autumn platform, walked a few corridors, passed a few pavilions, and finally came to a flower hall.
The hall was separated by a lilac curtain, with a terrace at the top, and many young people had gathered below.
Xiao Yu glanced at it, there were many sons in the mansions of the powerful, and some scholars dressed as scholars.
Seeing Xiao Yu and Xiao Yue walking in, many people turned their heads to look at them.
After seeing that the person who came was Xiao Yu, many people showed a gloating look on their faces.
A few days ago, Lin Yuan, the king of the grassland, wrote a book to ask for a horse for his daughter, which had spread all over the eastern capital. This scared many powerful sons half to death, because it is said that in the grassland, princesses can marry more than one colt. If you are unfortunate enough to be chosen, not only will you be insulated from your concubine from now on, but you will be more likely to face the life of polygamy. For these noble sons, isn't it like asking for his life?
Today's Emperor Zheng is also quite difficult, and after many considerations, he finally chose Xiao Yu, the unambitious prince of Anguo.
Xiao Yu faced these mocking gazes, his face was expressionless, and he walked into the flower hall step by step. Over the years, what Xiao Yu has done the most is forbearance!
This little thing can't stimulate Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yue also felt that something was wrong at this time, and after thinking about it carefully, he already understood. I began to regret that I had to accompany my eldest brother here.
Looking at those mocking eyes, as soon as Xiao Yue's fan was closed, he wanted to step forward and reason with those people.
At this time, he grabbed Xiao Yue with one hand, and Xiao Yue turned his head to see that it was Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu shook his head and said in a low voice, "You don't have to be familiar with them. ”
Xiao Yue bit her lip slightly and said unwillingly: "But ......"
Xiao Yu let go of Xiao Yue and said lightly: "It's just a clown jumping off the beam." ”
Xiao Yue glanced at those people, although he was still unwilling, he had to listen to Xiao Yu's words and stop stepping forward.
At this time, a yin and yang strange voice came from the crowd: "Oh, who did I say, it turned out to be Xiao Gongzi, I heard that His Majesty recently gave marriage, Xiao Gongzi is really a blessed person." ”
The man who spoke was dressed in a white shirt, holding a folding fan in his hand, and his hair was powdered. is squeezing his eyebrows at Xiao Yu.
This person is the second son of the Chengguo family, Zhang Yuxia, because he is lustful and has serious physical losses, he always can't straighten his waist, and he has a nickname "Zhang Da Shrimp".
Xiao Yu saw that this person's face remained unchanged, and said in a deep voice: "It turned out to be Zhang Gongzi." Does Zhang Gongzi have an opinion about Xiao's marriage?"
"Where is Xiao Gongzi, I just envy Xiao Gongzi's good fortune, I heard that I can serve the princess with other men, this is really a joy in the world!" Zhang Yuxia shook the folding fan in her hand and sneered.
As soon as Zhang Yuxia said this, a low laugh also sounded in the flower hall.
Xiao Yue's little face turned pale with anger, and she wanted to step forward again.
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Yue, looked at Zhang Yuxia calmly, and shouted in a deep voice with a straight face: "Ridiculous! Xiao's marriage is the king of Zhenbei, His Majesty appoints it, and his father agrees." How can you wait to make a joke? Princess Qingyue has a noble status, and you can say something disrespectful? Zhang Gongzi, when I return to my father, I must go to the secret guard prison for Zhang Gongzi, it is also a pleasure in the world!"
......
Just as Zhang Yuxia spoke, a trace of disgust flashed on the face of a young man standing in the corner.
The little guy standing beside him also said with an indignant face: "Gong...... Son, this man's mouth stinks, and if we were there, we would have tore his mouth to pieces. ”
The voice was crisp, but it was a girl's voice.
