Chapter 34 Water Bamboo Garden
In front of the Xu Mansion of the White Tiger Fang, a luxury carriage from the Teaching Workshop Division was quietly parked in front of the door, Xu Changting frowned and watched with Huo Nuer as the coachman followed Wan'er who picked him up.
"How do I have a ......?" Xu Changting looked at the carriage, then at Wan'er, who looked respectful, and laughed at himself: "How can I feel like I'm going to entertain your young lady?" ”
Wan'er, who was standing at the foot of the steps, was stunned, she didn't expect Xu Changting to think of herself like this! For a while, I didn't know how to answer.
But looking at Xu Changting's somewhat depressed expression, Wan'er hurriedly lowered her head, afraid that the smile on the corner of her mouth would be captured.
After all, it's okay not to say it, after Xu Changting said this, Wan'er felt that if she changed people, it would really be like she was going out to entertain others with Oiran.
This time, Huo Nuer did not follow Xu Changting, and after Xu Changting and Wan'er got into the carriage, he whispered a few words to Huo Nuer, and asked Wan'er to signal the carriage to leave.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Danfeng City seemed to be covered with layers of golden light, making the entire city look a little more dull at this time.
After a tiring day, people dragged their tired steps home, and pedestrians on the road seemed to be in a hurry. The guys in restaurants and tea shops, the peddlers and pawns on the streets, and the shouting voices seem to be a little tired.
The carriage was still running briskly through the streets and alleys, and the sedan chair on the shoulders of the sedan driver was also rushing to a certain place in the city under the setting sun.
With the experience and shock of coming to the Teaching Workshop Division for the first time, Xu Changting, who came to the Teaching Workshop Division again, went alone.
The carriage bypassed the main building of Wanhualou that he entered last time, Xu Changting felt a pain in his flesh for no reason, and the tea fee for one person cost three taels of silver, this Jiaofang Division is really ...... No, it should be the official's thing is that the heart is black, and I really dare to ask for a price.
A courtyard enclosed by a fence covers a wider area than ordinary people's homes or ordinary merchants' homes, and the buildings in it are obviously carefully designed.
The buildings of all blue bricks and tiles, with winding paths and quiet goose warm stone pavement, grassy rockeries, grasslands, pavilions and water pavilions, as well as a dense bamboo forest, make this courtyard called Water Bamboo Garden, which makes people feel relaxed and freehand after stepping in.
The mood seems to have become a lot calmer all of a sudden, and the troublesome things in the red world will be involuntarily thrown away, making people just want to enjoy the present time quietly, comfortably and freely.
Pei Murong, who is still dressed in purple, looks like he is deliberately dressed up today, with a heroic and intellectual temperament between his eyebrows, coupled with his tall and graceful figure, fair and delicate face, and a pair of bright eyes full of autumn water, just like the goddess who came out of "The Goddess Fu".
And behind the Oiran, there are also six women with different postures and gorgeous appearances, which just set off Pei Murong in the middle, showing a peerless and independent beauty picture.
If you say that the Song Yi people of Peach Blossom Pavilion are like peach blossoms, they will always give people a kind of beauty bathed in the spring breeze. And Pei Murong of Shuizhuyuan is like her favorite bamboo, giving people a kind of heroic beauty.
"The little woman Pei Murong has seen Xu Gongzi, and Xu Gongzi can come to the appointment, which can be said to make Shuizhuyuan shine ......." Pei Murong took the lead in saluting, and the six women behind him were obviously also well-trained, and they saluted Xu Changting without stealing the limelight.
"Miss Pei is such a big battle...... To say something unpleasant, it makes my legs weak, and I unconsciously want to touch my purse first, whether it is consumed. Xu Changting teased and laughed at himself, while looking at the gorgeous women behind Pei Murong with different postures without any scruples.
At this time, I can finally understand why sometimes men feel that only two pairs of eyes are a little less touched.
The current scene made Xu Changting feel that a circle of eyes on his head might be enough.
"Xu Gongzi laughed, since it was Murong who invited Gongzi today, how could he let Gongzi break the bank." Even if there are two poems to support it, the first time the two met, Xu Changting planted a sense of fear in Pei Murong's heart, and it has not been completely eliminated to this day.
Therefore, even if Pei Murong has tried his best to relax himself and let himself calmly face the young man in front of him whose face is a little different from ordinary people, he always feels as if something is awkward, and he is always a little different from himself on weekdays.
Under Pei Murong's personal guidance, Xu Changting was surrounded by a group of women and walked into the hall of Shuizhuyuan, this feeling was ...... It is completely more satisfying and happy than when Lu Rui was in Banlong Village, surrounded by a few followers and farmers in front of and behind him, and even a feeling of fluttering.
When the emperor's three palaces and six courts...... Isn't that how it feels? Xu Changting pondered silently in his heart.
For ordinary people, carpets are so extravagant that they can no longer be extravagant, and whether it is in the Teaching Workshop Division or Qingyun Building, carpets can be seen everywhere as if they don't need money.
Stepping on the thick carpet of water and bamboo garden hall is like stepping on a cotton carpet, Xu Changting's inner feeling of looking at the world and being self-respecting is getting stronger and stronger, especially the kind of warbler and warbler in the three palaces and six courtyards who are like emperors, as long as you are a man, I am afraid it is difficult to still maintain absolute calm at this moment.
It's no wonder that in history, there are so many men who are ridiculous and misguided because of women.
Troubled water, this is ...... The ancestor summed it up correctly.
Compared with some people who are eager to show their ignorance of the world, Xu Changting did not hide his curiosity in front of Pei Murong and several other women...... For the first time.
Since entering this elegant and poetic hall, Xu Changting has been constantly looking around, and from time to time he will ask Pei Murong whether the calligraphy and paintings on the wall are true or false, and he is curious about the baby's frank appearance, not only does it make people feel obscene or usher in the contempt of Pei Murong and other women, but this kind of openness and calmness makes Pei Murong like yesterday's Song Yiren, a little shocked by Xu Changting's calmness and confidence.
Unlike some ordinary guests, when they first come into contact with them, even if they seem calm on the surface, their behavior has already exposed their inner uneasiness and apprehension.
The reason why Oiran is the Oiran is not the top brand, that is, they are really talented and powerful, and they can make ordinary guests feel a sense of distance between them, and this sense of distance can never be filled with money.
Therefore, the reason why Oiran is precious is not that it can be achieved by just having a beautiful face and a sweet singing voice, but also has an aura unique to Oiran.
Xu Changting doesn't drink alcohol and only drinks hot water, Pei Murong will naturally not be reluctant, and several other women who accompany him, under Pei Murong's training, can naturally complement the atmosphere of not drinking.
It is not a very rich meal, but it is better to be exquisite, and the exquisite meal is naturally secondary, that is, it depends on who you dine with, so that you can eat a high-standard, high-demand, high-luxury but extremely comfortable dinner.
"I heard that Childe went to Qingyun Tower yesterday?" Pei Murong's eyebrows flowed, and the heroic spirit between his eyebrows seemed to change, making Pei Murong look a little more tender at this moment.
"It's really well-informed. Am I so sought-after? Why didn't I find out before, if I had known that it was so easy to eat white food, I would have befriended you and Song Yiren a long time ago. Xu Changting enjoyed the lazy sitting posture, and his face was a little more pale and ruddy than just now.
"If Gongzi composes a few more poems as beautiful as yesterday, I'm afraid that Murong and Yiren want to invite Gongzi, and Gongzi may not have time. This Danfeng City can be described as a beautiful woman, and there has always been no shortage of talented people. I'm afraid that by then, Gongzi will have long forgotten who Pei Murong is. Pei Murong tilted his head and looked at Xu Changting opposite.
The faint sound of the piano is like flowing water and raindrops, so that Xu Changting can't help but want to push open the window to see if it is really raining.
The topic of the two gradually changed from thanking Xu Changting for the poem to the rest of the topics, and then under the guidance of Xu Changting, it also changed to Xu Changting's purpose.
"Childe doesn't drink, but he wants to make wine? With the talent of the childe, as long as the son is willing to ....... Pei Murong looked at Xu Changting calmly, such a reminder, she didn't feel that it was an insult to Xu Changting.
Xu Changting shook his head and said, "Maybe...... Maybe it's just a personal favorite. ”
Just when Xu Changting was promoting his wine temporarily named Peach Blossom in front of Pei Murong, at this time, in the Wanhua Building, the main building of the Teaching Division, there were twelve heads of the Teaching Division.
Twelve top cards appeared together in Wanhualou, such a scene is rare, even if there is one of the most important Oiran Pei Murong missing, but at this time, the atmosphere of Wanhualou can be said to make Ruan Sanniang's mouth in the corner smile is about to close.
Whether it is the guests downstairs or the more distinguished guests on the second floor, tonight is like crazy, with every top brand on the stage, whether it is singing or dancing, they can win the cheers that want to overturn the roof, the silver of white flowers, the golden cakes, golden melon seeds, etc., as if it was raining on the stage.
Every top brand player will be able to let the guys and maids of the teaching department come back with a dustpan full of yellow and white.
With the last top brand performing on stage, Ruan Sanniang at this time felt sorry for no reason: tonight's atmosphere, if Murong is not accompanied by guests, I am afraid that she will be the last to appear, can really lift the roof of Wanhualou, right?
But even so, Ruan Sanniang was still smiling from ear to ear in the corner, and she didn't think deeply about what Pei Murong was entertaining in Shuizhuyuan today. Instead, he enthusiastically sent the eleven guests who won the favor of the top brand tonight to the courtyard where the top card was located one by one.
And the graceful posture of the last top brand is still enough to support the lively atmosphere of Wanhualou near the end, the only question is to see who can be invited by the last top brand.
But at this time, the atmosphere on the second floor is obviously a little colder with the appearance of the last top brand, but this is understandable in Ruan Sanniang's opinion.
