A drawer of flower cakes was not a rare and precious thing in Lu Yao's eyes, but the rowing boy had to rock the boat for three months to afford it.

Otherwise, how can the market often say: Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road?

I secretly said to myself in my heart, this bet is really not small, and the boat swinging boy seems to be very confident in Feng Xuan's gaze!

After getting off the boat, Lu Yao, who was holding the folding fan tightly, showed a wry smile helplessly, and immediately expressed strong dissatisfaction: "You bet, why do I bear the consequences of the gambling contract!" ”

"You have money, I don't, it's as simple as that!"

The dog master shook the wine gourd in his hand, probably without wine, his face showed a faint disappointment, and then he put forward a reason: "I'm so poor that I sold myself, where is the gambling money?" ”

After throwing out a bunch of reasons, the dog master was reluctant, licking a touch of yagging and laughing, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into a ball.

"Hey...... Later, when you get on the flower boat, you have to get me jar wine. ”

Facing the scoundrel-like dog, Lu Yao had to sigh lightly and secretly scolded this drunkard for digging a pit for himself.

After the dog master made such a fuss, I didn't have the nervousness and shyness when I boarded the ship, and even looked forward to tonight's poetry meeting and selection at this time.

Especially the Feng Xuan gaze in the mouth of the rowing broker, I would like to see what kind of prosperous face this woman has.

The twilight was dark, and countless small boats were already drifting on the veiled river.

The waning moon jumped out of the water, hanging in the sky like the eyes of a dog that could not be opened, flashing with a dim light.

The stars dotted on the inky sky, flickering and dimming, seemed to be reluctantly dragged out and frozen in the night sky.

Luoyang, the new capital of spring flowers, is still a little cold when the wind blows on the body at night.

Stretching out with the dog master, I got up and stood on the bow of the boat, and when I raised my eyes, I was shocked by the huge house in front of me like a frog at the bottom of a well that saw the sky for the first time.

The big house floating on the Luo River is like an unreal palace shrouded in mist.

On the cornices carved from sandalwood, cranes spread their wings.

The floating windows carved from blue tiles and white jade are stacked into wall panels, and the layers are orderly.

The huge pillars are covered with gilded dragon patterns, and the cornices and swallow horns protrude, and the colored ropes woven with purple gold silk are tied with rows of copper wind chimes the size of bottled cups.

The breeze blows, and the bell makes a crisp sound like a hitter bell, which is very pleasant.

"I'm afraid this big house is more magnificent than the king of Wuzu's southern tour back then!"

I have never seen the world for a long time, and I can't hide the strong shock in my heart at this moment, and I can't help but admire.

The big house is three stories high, and in the middle of the attic treasure roof hangs a huge night pearl, shining and bright as the moon.

Lu Yao walked in the front, and the dog master and I walked through the splint into the boat with shocked faces, and walked at the end, unable to suppress our amazements.

The ground under the feet is paved with white jade, embedded with gold beads, chiseled for lotus, and the five-stemmed lotus flower blooms.

The petals are vivid and exquisite, and even the stamens are delicately carved, and you don't feel cold when you step on it barefoot.

The white jade is hewn from the warm jade of Lantian, and its meaning is taken from the meaning of Wen Gong's "step by step lotus, riding the wind to shake".

The luxury of this ship is very extravagant in the weak water of King Zhou Mourning, and it is even more than the description of the historian.

It is the first time I have seen such a large ship of extreme luxury, and this big house is not as good as the king's ship recorded in the annals of history.

Entering the first floor of the big house, the vermilion utensils and porcelain vases and flower pots are symmetrically arranged, and the gardenia lanterns are hung high, bright as day, in which the aroma of wine and rouge are intertwined and wafting, which makes people smell and intoxicate.

The dog master sniffed with his nose, and said very definitely and excitedly: "Ten years of Bodhi brewing...... It smells from the West Street Forest House Groove Workshop. ”

Seeing that the dog master was sniffing and looking for things like rhubarb, he took a breath of the fragrance and smiled lewdly again: "Rouge is the top grade of the Bud Vine Pavilion, it must be the charming fragrance emanating from the body of a jade nobleman, and the taste of rouge gouache used on Widow Han." ”

"The girl here is more affectionate than the Han widow who guards the liquor in the winery, tonight I have brought enough money and smelled enough of the mellow aroma of spirits, do you want to smell the jade body of the little lady of the flower boat tonight?"

Lu Yao patted the treasure bag on his waist, and the smug face of the spring breeze made the nobles who ushered in the send-off couldn't help but glance at the smile.

The dog master looked disdainful, and he didn't know if he deliberately suppressed the fire in his heart, so he pretended not to hear it, picked up the wine gourd and shook it in front of Lu Yao, and said, "No wine!" ”

Seeing that I had been silent since I entered the big house, and seemed to be scanning everything here with a pair of probing eyes, the dog master threw himself at Lu Yao with a pitiful expression.

Lu Yao waved the folding fan in his hand and fanned it before snorting, he didn't like the smell of wine on the dog master, and then diverted the topic, squeezing out a bright smile like a Dasheng chrysanthemum.

"It's boring to drink, I inquired before I came, there is an old excellent man who is nearly half a hundred years old but still has charm, it is said that he was talented when he was young, and his ability to serve people with ice in his mouth has always been the best in Luoyang!"

The dog master scratched his butt with his hand unmoved, and then sniffed the hand that had scratched his butt in front of his nose, and responded to Lu Yao who made fun of him with a disgusting behavior.

I don't know how to find joy in Hongchen Willow Lane, but I was misty by the conversation between the two full of extraneous sounds.

So, I asked the dog master with a dull gaze: "What is the ability to serve people with ice in your mouth?" ”

The dog master gave me a blank look with an idiot look, and it took him a long time before he opened his mouth and explained to me.

"It's the two heavens of ice and fire...... If you come to this kind of land of wind and moon a few more times, you will naturally understand! ”

I still don't understand this explanation, and then I chased after the dog master and kept asking: "What is the two heavens of ice and fire?" ”

The dog master was directly maddened by my repeated questions, and laughed at the lively Lu Yao.

······

There are a lot of guests on the first floor of the big house, and it can be seen from the outfits of these people that most of them are swingers.

These people are either flirting with the delicate maids who serve tea and water, or dancing with the and the bustards laughing and chatting in the autumn breeze.

The second floor should be a private room, and the nobles who gathered here tonight are relaxing at the moment, or dressing up in the room.

Looking up from the bottom, the lights in the house are dim, and there is neither the noisy movement of the clouds and rain of Wushan Mountain, nor the poetry and painting of the literary and virtuous scholars.

As for the third floor, I can't really see it.

According to my incorrect analysis, it should be a huge casino.

As the number of people in the big house gradually increased, and the noise obscured the sense of hearing, I was not sure what the third floor was for.

Seeing a fresh face coming in, and dressed well, with outstanding temperament, the bustard girl who was wearing a golden hairpin and covered up the traces of time on her face was full of lively smiles, and Lianbu moved slightly and twisted the bee's waist and walked towards Lu Yao.

"Yo, this son looks at the face, it should be the first time to cheer!"

Although the bustard girl has faded in the twilight, she is set off by a brocade robe and red clothes.

She smelled as she walked in our direction.

He pretended to be calm, but in fact, his eyes were several times wider than usual, and his coveted eyes, which were accustomed to the plump posture of Widow Han, passed over the bustard's towering and plump breasts without a trace.

"The three of us came here."

"Attending tonight's Flower Boat Poetry Party?" The red-clothed bustard asked lightly.

Lu Yao shook the folding fan in his hand again: "Exactly!" ”

"The three masters look good, they must be rich and rich!" The red-clothed bustard girl, who is well versed in observing words and colors, and has a smile on her face.

Even if Lu Yao, who has a lot of money, doesn't go to the road anymore, he knows that this kind of woman has sweet words, and she is all coming for the guest's purse.

Untied the treasure bag on his waist that was enough to store the things in the building, Lu Yao took out three golden beans and threw them to the red-clothed bustard girl, and said: "When I came, I heard the rowing boy render a girl with gazing eyes, and I came tonight to see the girl's face." ”

After receiving the money, the smile on the face of the red-clothed bustard girl was even bigger, and she smiled charmingly: "That son has to do his best, tonight the talents are more than poetry, and the girls are fighting for talent and beauty, and the people who come are not Luoyang scholars, or the sons of famous families." ”

Lu Yao played with the folding fan, looked left and right casually, and asked the bustard mother casually: "Which well-educated people are coming to Luoyang City tonight, the son of the family?" The nameless and unpopular three religions and nine streams, is it worth us to come all the way to join in this fun? ”

When the red-clothed bustard heard that Lu Yao had concerns, she hurriedly folded her fingers and listed the literati who were present tonight: "Look at what you said, how can you do it...... Tonight, beauties gathered, talented people gathered, Zheng Beiyou on the Taifu Mansion, Wang Gongwang, the prince of the Shenjiang Mansion, and Su Boyong, who wrote the wolf smoke list, these people's names are randomly brought out, and they have to tremble in Luoyang City! ”

Listening to the pompous introduction of the bustard girl, I couldn't help but hold my forehead.

But isn't it, the despicable reputation of these people is like a rat crossing the street, all of them are proud of the heroes, and the wandering deeds are well known, but they don't have to make Luoyang City tremble!

Hearing these names, Lu Yao couldn't help but smile funny, and said openly: "Heh, all the strange things are gathered in Luoyang City...... Interesting, it's lively tonight! ”

Maybe it was unintentional to say it, but I, the listener, couldn't help but scoff, I didn't have a trace of expression on my face, but I couldn't help but say to myself: "Aren't you and the two strange people of the dog also gathered in Luoyang?" ”

Strange to wonderful, the tip of the needle touches the wheat!

Pity me, a simple and honest man, I am afraid that I will become an innocent pond fish in the tide of tonight's Huafang Poetry Meeting.

I don't want a quiet desk everywhere in the world, I just hope that Luoyang can accommodate me.
