Chapter 561: The First Show
The early spring day, although not overcast, is not too bright, always gives people a dull feeling, the cold wind blows, making people shiver and wrap their clothes tightly.
Today, however, is an exception, as the rare sun stretches its languid body from behind the clouds, shedding the warmth that people have hoped for.
But instead of looking at the bright sky, passers-by stood by the lake, smiling and staring.
He kept waving his hands and shouting loudly, looking extremely excited.
Even the cold wind that blows from time to time can't stop their enthusiasm.
Today is the day when the Xianfanlou Flower Ensemble performs in public.
This place is Acacia Lake.
The vast surface of the lake resembles a large, smooth mirror, shining brightly in the sunlight.
It also reflects the crazy appearance of the pedestrians on the shore, waving flags and shouting, as if there is a golden mountain on the lake.
Indeed, there is a moving mountain of gold in the center of the lake, but in their eyes, it is more like a piece of food.
A piece they've never seen before, they've never eaten before, it's mouth-watering, their blood is pumping, and they can't wait to taste this earthly delicacy.
The vast surface of the lake is sparkling, and in the center of the lake there are four two-story boats that circle it.
And at the bow of their ships there is a ring with an iron chain over it, and to them is connected is a large polychrome plank.
It is about 40 feet long and 20 feet wide, and it is made of many small planks that are spliced together with riveting techniques and spread flat on the surface of the water.
The bottom plank is nailed with a thin layer of bamboo, and something else is added in between.
It is waterproof and soft, and this board is painted with different colors.
There are a total of seven colors, representing the seven people who combine the flowers.
This is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also reminds the girls to stand and prevent them from jumping too preoccupied and forgetting the order.
The time had not yet come, and the lake was empty except for the four boats that held the planks to it.
But this does not affect the men who love them in the slightest, and they come early just to be able to occupy a good position.
Time passed slowly, and in the eyes of hundreds of people, more than a dozen boats were slowly approaching the center of the lake.
Behind these boats, there were many more boats moving slowly, and the otherwise wide lake became crowded.
Everyone wants to be close to the center of the lake and be able to see the combination of flowers up close.
It would be even more wonderful if they took a fancy to it, and then came to a wind and snow moon and read it at night.
Countless ordinary people straightened their waists, just so that they could not be blinded by others, and looked at the ships that those sons were riding.
A longing look, full of envy and jealousy.
Even if it is an extremely ordinary boat, there is no small broken boat even to sit down, and if you want to rent it for a day, it will cost more than a dozen taels of silver.
Not to mention those two-story and three-story luxury ships, they can't be rented without hundreds of taels of silver.
And all of them have no price, and the most important thing in the national capital is the rich.
It can be said that the people who can rent a three-story boat are all big people who are rampant in the national capital.
Even if you are not a big man, there is a big man standing behind him.
The breeze blew, bringing a hint of chill, and the people on board did not stand in the bow, but sat in it.
Brew hot tea, light the fire, and sit with three or five friends to judge and judge.
Quietly waiting for the arrival of the flower combination.
And those who could only stand on the shore, trying to keep their eyes open, although tightly wrapped in their clothes and shrunk their bodies, did not leave a single person.
After about a cup of tea, a three-storey luxury painting boat appeared on the lake, with the words Xianfan Lou written around it.
The dragon flies and the phoenix dances, walking like flowing water.
It is about six or seven meters high, so that the "behemoth" suddenly obscures the demeanor of other ships, the lanterns are hung high, and the eaves are towering, which can be called magnificent.
"Here it is, here comes the flower combination"
When the boat appeared in the eyes of everyone, screams erupted from the shore, and then a sound wave swept towards the lake.
Soon, the boat was in the center of the lake, not far from the large plank.
Countless literati and artists, rich sons also came out at this moment, standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the painting boat in front of them, like a hungry wolf seeing food.
Four refined subordinates walked out of the painting boat, holding white almost transparent silkworm threads in their hands, and threw them towards the wooden board in front of them. With a flick of his wrist, the silkworm flew over and landed on the board.
And the position of the landing point also bounced a ring, just firmly stuck the silkworm thread.
The subordinate pulled hard, and when he saw that there was no problem, he returned to the painting boat.
Then, under the longing gaze of everyone, the seven figures stepped on these silkworm threads on their toes together, like walking a tightrope.
Smoothly landed on the plank.
"It's so dangerous, I'm really afraid that there will be a problem, and I will lose face when the time comes"
Seeing that she landed safely, Osmanthus patted her chest and whispered, and the rest of the people were also relieved.
Although there are countless exercises in Xianfan Building, this is the first time that he has really performed in front of so many people.
"Just wait a minute, just follow the performance we trained before, and we must not disappoint the master"
Rose said earnestly, her eyes full of determination. The rest nodded slightly.
"Rose Fairy We Love You"
The sudden voice startled many people, and when they looked over, they saw dozens of people waving flags and shouting.
This made those who liked other fairies feel unconvinced, and they all shouted loudly.
"Peony Fairy, we love you"
"Peach Blossom Fairy, we will kill you"
"Osmanthus Fairy, We Love You"
"Rose Fairy We Love You"
"Orchid Fairy We Love You"
"Moon Season Fairy, We Love You"
No one obeys anyone, you shout and I shout, and I will roar when you yell.
Seeing this, the people around them gave way to them so that they could face each other off.
So much so that the idea of others screaming to express their hearts and trying to make the flower combination hear was shattered.
He was very angry, his eyes were cold, and his face was engraved with the words "I am angry".
But seeing them is like losing their minds, scolding and red-eyed, and they are helpless.
You can't be as loud and noisy as they are, and you feel like a fool.
"Ding Dong"
With a clear sound, a heavenly sound turned into notes from between the ten fingers, heading in all directions.
At some point, there were two women sitting on each of the four boats that were originally empty, and the planks were fixed.
Sitting cross-legged, with a zither on his thighs, his fingers moving.
There was no sound system in this era, so that these zithers could not be transmitted very far, and the people on the boats on the lake could not hear them very clearly.
So they continued to slide forward, and when they were ten meters away from the boat, they stopped.
When they approached the flower boat, they suddenly changed their faces, pretending to be upright and tall, without squinting, folding their fans and shaking gently.
On several three-story luxurious flower boats, there were several accompanying girls, all of whom were white-skinned and beautiful with long legs.
A small part of them are the sisters or cousins of these sons, who came to see them out of curiosity.
More are from the pillars in the other two flower buildings, such as the Seven Fairies of the Spring Equinox Building and the Sister Flowers of the Xuelan Building.
"What kind of clothes is this, it's too revealing, it's just immoral"
Some of the daughters saw the cheongsam worn by the flower group, their eyes widened, and then they showed a shy look.
Those men's pupils were shocked, their eyebrows were raised, their eyes glowed brightly, their faces were crimson, and they swallowed saliva.
I thought it was still a fairy costume, but I didn't expect to change to a brand new costume.
Dressed in various colors, wrapping their bodies, although the clothes are not tight, but they set off the curves of her body so that people can see them at a glance, beautiful and touching.
In particular, the slender and round jade legs are also unobstructed, especially under the looming clothes, which is even more fascinating.
As they danced, the graceful dance with the chic tone captured the hearts of those men at once.
In such a scene, even those Hualou girls were ashamed of themselves, and their eyes were deeply attracted by them.
There are also many men's eyes, their bodies moving with the movement of the flowers, revealing greedy eyes, and their hands are rubbing.
"Cousin, what are you doing, I must tell my aunt when I go back"
A young lady looked at her cousin's flushed face, her eyes were full of desire, and a lewd smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she suddenly lost her temper.
"If you dare to say it, I won't take you when I go out in the future"
The men were not afraid, threatening each other.
Sure enough, as soon as she heard this, the young lady was like a leaky balloon, losing the momentum just now, and stamping her feet angrily.
Looking at the girl in front of you, isn't it just big breasts and long legs?
With a dissatisfied look on his face, he returned to the cabin and sat up, holding his chin in his hands.
His eyes wandered, as if he was thinking, why do men like such vulgar things......
Then he took out a book from his sleeve, read it with relish, and saw the emotion, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
After a while, crystal tears hung on his eyelashes, and he took out a handkerchief and wiped them.
His eyes swept to a text, his hands trembled, a wave of anger appeared on his face, and he closed the book with force.
It reads "The Domineering Son Falls in Love with Me"......
"Wow, what kind of dress is this, it can perfectly show the curves of a woman's body......"
"Wow, that's a nice song......"
"Wow, I seem to see a dark ...... in that jump just now"
"A purple gold ring coin can talk to them alone, I really want to......"
Come and see the boats that fill the lake, not to mention hundreds, but you can really see them up close.
It's only one-third, and the most conspicuous of them are the three flower buildings that are not inferior to the Xianfan Lou Painting Boat.
And behind them, there is a second-story ship, don't underestimate such a ship.
Maybe there is a powerful son standing inside who can shake three times by stomping his feet.
"Well, you said it would be nice if we had money, so we could see it up close.
It's annoying that you can't hear clearly and see through such a distance."
"Yes, it is said that the flower combination all has the appearance of sinking fish and geese, and the moon is shy of flowers; Especially their posture and singing are simply a must."
"I decided, I must work hard to make money, and when I earn enough three taels of silver, I will go to Xianfan Building."
"Good ......"
"The Rose Fairy is the best-looking"
"Nonsense, the peony fairy is the best......looking
Hearing this annoying noise, many of the people who spoke were gloomy and upset, and they couldn't wait to go up and punch a few times.
So that they can shut up, but their glorious deeds in the past half month have made these people a little afraid.
In order to make his goddess the first, he used the prison of the city defense camp as a temporary residence.
They don't have the courage.
"A group of sassy foxes are scratching their heads there, what's there to see"
"That's it, I've heard that they attract the attention of those men with their fancy dresses, and their short faces and butts are exposed......"
Jealousy makes people look like nothing else, and many curious women who have come to see these men in such a crazy way have distorted their faces and are greatly annoyed in their hearts.
It's really strange to say that women, if men stare at them, they say that you have no quality, that you have low character, that your moral character is corrupt, and that you will talk about indecent behavior at every turn.
But if the men don't look at them, they say that the men have no taste. The old lady has such a pretty face and such a good figure, she must not be good.
"If only these women were brought back"
"Take your time, isn't it just 10,000 taels, there's a chance"
"Hey, if it weren't for Prince Yin's attack on Xiaoxiang, we wouldn't have lost our fun......"
On top of a three-story flower building, four men in brocade clothes sat at the women dancing on the wooden planks.
A strange smile appeared on his face, and his eyes narrowed slightly as if he were looking at his prey............
Inside the city defense camp.
"My lord, this is the Xiaoxiang accomplice confessed by Xihe"
After the interrogation, Lin Hu handed Yun Xuan the list of personnel he had confessed.
Looking at the list above, they are all some people who are not in the stream.
In the past few days, Yun Xuan has also learned some information about the Xiaoxiang Society, and the black invitation card represents the outermost part.
is equivalent to a little fan brother with a little money, who wants to tie up with those powerful sons and join them to make up the numbers.
After all, with this layer of identity, the rest of the people will more or less give them a little thin face.
It's just that there is no name on this list that Yun Xuan wants to see, which makes him a little surprised.
"Is everyone here?"
Looking at Yun Xuan's meaningful gaze, Lin Hu's pupils shrank, and his heart became flustered.
However, many years of experience as an official made him quickly return to his natural state, and said calmly.
"My lord, it's all here."
