Chapter 29: Ignorance
At this time, Pei Murong was in a trance, and everything that happened today made her feel for the first time that the aura of the Oiran did not seem to be so bright.
Wan'er next to her cautiously looked at Pei Murong, who was a little distracted, and asked softly, "Miss, what ...... Are those two poems really written by Xu Gongzi himself? ”
Pei Murong's talent Wan'er is known, so she believes that as long as the young lady says that it was made by Xu Gongzi, then it must be that Xu Gongzi who made it, and it was never bought with money.
And they originally planned to get off the boat with Xu Gongzi and leave, but because the young lady wanted to copy the second peach blossom poem, they were delayed for some time.
So after the two of them said goodbye to those on the boat and got off the boat, the figure of Xu Gongzi's sister and brother on the shore had already disappeared, which made Pei Murong have no chance to thank Xu Changting if he wanted to.
Hearing Wan'er ask this, Pei Murong, who came back to her senses, instantly felt a little hot in her heart, where the two poems she had copied by herself were being placed at the moment.
"I've never heard it before, and the second poem doesn't even have a name yet, so it must be that Xu Gongzi hasn't had time to choose a name in a hurry." When Pei Murong thought of those two completely different poems, she felt a little inexplicably throbbing, which made the figure she wanted to get rid of in her mind become clearer and clearer.
"Which of the first poems is the name of the poem?" Wan'er frowned, as if she was asking Pei Murong and herself.
Wan'er's question made Pei Murong's cheeks slightly hot, giving Pei Murong a tour of Tianwang Lake is obviously much better than remembering to highlight and jump to Tianwang Lake, although Pei Murong prefers the former, but she is afraid that one day, Xu Changting will set the name of the poem as the latter.
"Otherwise......." Pei Murong was entangled, looking at Wan'er, who was blinking her eyes and waiting for her command, she still bit her red lip with some uncertainty, and finally said: "Tomorrow, you will use my name to invite Xu Gongzi to come to Shuizhuyuan, just say that I want to thank him in person for the poem...... Kindness. ”
Wan'er nodded, but she saw the eyes of the young lady on the other side flickering, as if she had something unspeakable, and she didn't dare to look at her again.
At this time, when Pei Murong made a decision and entered the city with anxiety in his heart, Song Yiren's carriage was already on the way back to the city, but behind their carriage, there was also a rented carriage, which was Xu Gongzi and his entourage who met by chance today.
When Song Yiren learned that Xu Changting was not here to take Liu Ya'er, he blurted out happily for a moment and wanted to invite Xu Changting to dinner.
How could Xu Gongzi see outside, not to mention that it was still the famous Oiran of Danfeng City, and at the moment, Xie Jingyao secretly reminded him repeatedly: Don't forget our young lady's deep affection for you...... Then he happily agreed to Song Yiren, and he also set his own opinion in Qingyun Tower, saying that he had never entered Qingyun Tower, and today was just an eye-opener.
Liu Ya'er was also very happy in the carriage, and even couldn't sit still, looking at the lotus flowers that caught up with them later, and then looking at Song Yiren, who was a little apprehensive, and whispered: "Miss, let me invite Xu Gongzi to dinner, and as for the money, I will deduct it from my monthly routine in the future." ”
Lotus pouted disdainfully at that time: "Your little monthly example, I'm afraid that saving ten or eight years is not enough for Miss to invite a noble person to a meal, so don't say Miss Hanqi." ”
Immediately, he glanced at Liu Ya'er, who was frightened, and said suspiciously: "You yellow-haired girl won't be clever in front of Miss, right?" I'm afraid that Miss will deduct it from your monthly list, so I'll say it generously first, so that Miss will be embarrassed to deduct it from your monthly list, right? ”
"Sister Lotus, you are the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman. I didn't think so, I really wanted to ask Xu Gongzi, because he helped my father and mother get the title deed back, and he didn't ...... me from Miss. Liu Ya'er actually taught Zou Zou a lesson to the lotus.
Lotus was not angry, and snorted: "You are a girl full of earthy flavor, stay by Miss's side and make trouble for Miss sooner or later, it is better to be taken back to Banlong Village by Xu Gongzi and continue to be your earthy girl." ”
"Alright, you two don't bicker." Song Yiren patted the back of Liu Ya'er's hand, and then said to Lotus: "Lotus, after going back for a while, open the Peach Blossom Pavilion, I will feast on Xu Gongzi in the Peach Blossom Pavilion." ”
"Miss, you...... Ouch. Hearing that Song Yiren was going to set up a banquet in the Peach Blossom Pavilion to entertain Xu Changting, Lotus stood up directly in the carriage under the excitement, naturally her little head hit the top of the carriage in an instant, and she sat back the moment she was hit, causing Liu Ya'er to purse her lips and snicker.
"You rustic girl dare to laugh ......." Lotus said with a cold face, but then turned to Song Yiren to dissuade her.
The reason why Qingyun Tower is called Qingyun Building is to take a step Qingyun meaning.
And almost no one in Danfeng City does not know that Qingyun Tower is the tallest building in Danfeng City, except for some buildings in the palace, with five floors.
However, many people in Danfeng City don't know that only the first, second, and third floors of Qingyun Tower will welcome guests on weekdays, and as for the fourth and fifth floors, they are not allowed to go up to the princes and nobles and gate valve families.
Legend has it that those who can climb to the fourth floor are either princes and nobles, and the descendants of the gate valve family, and the officials must be from the third rank or above to be eligible to climb the fourth floor.
And that's like the legendary fifth floor, there are all kinds of gossip in the streets, and there are even people who say that the Song Yi people live on the fifth floor, and some people say that King Anle lives on the fifth floor, and some people even say that the fifth floor is for the emperor who occasionally goes out of the palace.
In short, all kinds of rumors have noses and eyes, but as for the truth, very few people know it.
As for the Peach Blossom Pavilion just mentioned by the Song Yi people, it is said that it is the most luxurious on the third floor, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter, just as it is difficult for ordinary people to get the favor of the Oiran Song Yi people.
Xu Changting listened to Xie Jingyao tell him this, shook his head and smiled in disbelief, and said, "Do you know, what you just said is the biggest joke after Huo Nuer told me at the beginning. ”
"Jokes? If you don't believe it, you'll find out when you go in later. What is your relationship with this Songyi person? You won't ...... with her. Xie Jingyao has been holding on to this question since he got into the carriage, after all, he can't be sorry for the errand that Miss gave him.
"What do you think, today is only the second time I have met Song Yiren, as for the reason, didn't I tell you all just now?" Xu Changting said speechlessly.
"Really?" Xie Jingyao was skeptical.
"You don't have ears, do you? Do I have anything to do with Song Yiren, you are deaf and blind? Can't you see that we're very separated? Xu Changting didn't have a good airway.
"That seems to be the case when you say that." Xie Jingyao nodded in agreement, and then told Xu Changting that he must not do anything in Danfeng City.
Xu Changting directly interrupted him and said, "Don't you want to know, what is Huo Nuer's joke that is bigger than the joke you said?" ”
"What is it?" Xie Jingyao asked casually.
"The jokes told by Hornur are actually very philosophical, reflecting the ignorance and ignorance of some people. For example, exaggerating some unclear things, like the Qingyun Building you just said. Xu Changting said eloquently.
"Is it okay to talk about people?" Xie Jingyao said impatiently.
"It's a long story, it was still in Xining, when Huo Nuer was sitting on a tree, and I was sitting in the shade, and suddenly Huo Nuer asked me, what does the palace look like?" Xu Changting leaned back against the carriage and swayed his upper body rhythmically with the carriage.
"I told him that the palace is just like that, a little bigger than our house, and the furnishings in it are more luxurious, and then there are a lot of palace maids and eunuchs, and there are no others." Xu Changting continued: "Guess what Huo Nuer said? He didn't believe me. He said...... The palace is certainly not what I say it is. Then I asked him, what do you think the palace should look like? Guess what Honul said? ”
"What did he say?" Xie Jingyao also leaned back against the carriage and asked with half-squinted eyes.
"He said that first of all, the palace is very large, and there are heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the gates of various palaces, and the heavenly soldiers and generals are wearing armor made of gold, and the weapons in their hands are also forged ...... gold." Xu Changting learned from Xie Jingyao.
"Can I curse?" Xie Jingyao, who really couldn't listen to it, asked lazily.
"I can't." Xu Changting replied very simply, as Xie Jingyao replied that you continue, Xu Changting continued: "In short, the palace is said by Huo Nuer to be the same as a fairyland, especially when talking about the palace of the emperor, Huo Nuer also thinks that there is a fairy aura in the palace, just like standing in the clouds, the emperor sits majestically on the dragon chair, and the two sides are full of civil and military ministers, and from time to time there are cranes and heavenly horses flying from the palace gate, as long as the emperor beckons, they will fly in, some have fairy fruits in their mouths, and some carry stars and ...... on their backs. ”
"Just say that the emperor is immortal." Xie Jingyao said.
Therefore, people's ignorance often begins with exaggeration, and manifests itself in aspects that they do not understand. Have you ever been to Qingyun Tower? How do you know ....... Xu Changting finally turned the topic back to Xie Jingyao.
"That's a lot of nonsense! Get out! Xie Jingyao also ignored Xu Changting, first jumped out of the carriage, and then Xie Jingyao's irresponsible voice came from outside: "The carriage fee is for our son." ”
"Xie Jingyao, you ignorant ......." Xu Gongzi only had more than three taels of broken silver left in his purse, and at this time, he was even more angry.
In front of the Qingyun Building, Song Yiren smiled silently, Liu Ya'er looked excited, and the lotus glanced at Song Yiren, and then took the lead in walking into the building to work.
Xu Changting looked up at the five-story building in front of him, this was the first time he was so close to Qingyun Tower, the windows covered with window paper, the rows of carriages and sedan chairs parked at the door, the gate with red lanterns, and the pretty women who flashed from time to time at that time all made the scene inside Qingyun Tower full of infinite reverie.
"Xu Gongzi, please." Song Yiren said with a smile, at this time, at the door with red lanterns, there were already several beautiful women with different appearances, all of them looking at Song Yiren and Xu Changting at the door.
"What's going on? Why did the Yiren still invite guests in person? ”
"What is the origin of this son? Actually let the Yiren personally invite it? ”
"No, they came together, right? Today, the Yiren went to the ...... of Tianwang Lake. ”
The colorful and pretty women at the door whispered, and Song Yiren stood at the door and behaved very generously, not caring very much about the opinions of those sisters.
And Xu Changting's demeanor is also very calm, after getting off the car, he began to look at the entire Qingyun Building, although it was the first time to come, but he did not show a nervous or stage fright posture, confident smile, calm demeanor, so that Song Yiren was also quite surprised.
After all, not anyone can maintain such composure when they see the golden five-story building in front of them, and even if they pretend, they will be seen by their sisters with vicious eyes and accurate eyes.
But Xu Changting's self-confidence and calmness are by no means the kind of pretense, but really confident and calm.
"It's worthy of Qingyunlou, but I don't know...... Miss Song, is there a person in every window who is more beautiful than flowers? In front of Qingyun Tower, which was big and had the majesty of money, Xu Changting asked with a smile that did not hide his curiosity.
"Xu Gongzi will know everything if he goes in and sees?" Song Yiren tilted his head and smiled mischievously at Xu Changting.
And next, to the surprise of the other girls in Qingyun Building, Xu Changting actually went directly to the third floor and went to the Peach Blossom Pavilion!
