Chapter 161: Cao Cao and Yuan Shao
As everyone spoke, the musician in the corner in Hufu suddenly changed to a cheerful tune, and the originally noisy crowd also consciously quieted down.
"Knock knock, knock knock" With the sound of drums, many orchids immediately began to dance to the beat. The sound of silk and bamboo is beautiful, and the gorgeous orchids are in the wind, with long sleeves flying, slender posture, and affectionate eyebrows.
"Beautiful, wonderful......" Yuan Shu shook his head while grabbing the thin white hands of the two orchids who were supporting him beside him, and said drunkenly: "You two can take a good look at my bath for a while!" The two orchids did not dodge, and at the same time their bodies were closer to Yuan Shu, and in skilled Chinese, they said with a smile: "Your honorable guest commands, how dare the slave and maid disobey." Suddenly, as soon as the music stopped, the orchids also stopped and walked off the stage.
"That's it?" Wu Yong's tone was quite regrettable.
"It's early, the excitement is still to come!" Zhu Yuan's eyebrows fluttered and replied. Sure enough, after the orchids retreated, the lights on the first floor suddenly dimmed a lot, and after a while, several strong men pulled up a piece of white cloth, and then behind the white cloth, the phantom of the figure appeared, and then a thick male voice sounded.
"It is said that after the Romans invaded Anxi, they burned and looted everywhere, making the people of the Anxib country, the people were not happy, and the king of Anxi would only compromise, so the son of the king of Anxi, Darab, and the holy woman Celine of the Fire Zoroastrian sect came to the Han Empire to seek medical skills...... "With the man's voice, the movements of various characters will appear on the white cloth, which is also vivid and interesting.
At first, Wu Yong was still a little curious, he didn't expect that there would be a shadow puppet show at this time. Shadow puppetry, also called
"Shadow play" or
"Lantern Shadow Opera" is a kind of folk theater in which the silhouettes of characters made of animal skins or cardboard are illuminated by lights to perform a story.
Behind a white curtain, the performers manipulate opera characters while singing and telling stories to popular local tunes, accompanied by percussion instruments and strings.
But after listening to it for a while, Wu Yong finally reacted, this is a disguised public opinion guidance, this holy orchid's method is really good, and even this method can be thought of.
But obviously she used the wrong place, the people who can come to this orchid wine shop are all prodigal children, they are even related to the people of their own country, how can they worry about the life and death of your people thousands of miles away.
Therefore, before the shadow puppet show was over, many people began to make a fuss.
"Oh~ I don't want to change anything new, I'm tired of listening to these stories over and over again, go down, let's not watch this boring shadow show, we want to watch the orchids dance!"
"Yes, get out of here, don't go down, be careful that I tear down your platform!" …… Seeing that there were more and more people who opposed it, the owner of the liquor store hurriedly asked the men to remove the shadow puppet show.
The lights on the first floor came back on, and the musicians began to play a light tune, followed by another group of orchids on stage.
This time it was different from the last time, and the orchids went around the stage to select guests to dance with them.
The people who were selected were very excited, and they writhed with the orchids on the stage regardless of their image, and the atmosphere was immediately aroused.
Yuan Shu unscrupulously pointed to a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist and said to everyone: "Look at him, such a strong body is quite flexible, look at him turning like a spinning top." Wu Yong looked around and found that not only Yuan Shu, but also the eyes of the other guests were attracted by this man, and even counted the laps for him.
"Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen ......" more and more guests joined in.
"How many turns do you guess he can make?" Yuan Shu asked. Zhang Xun smiled maliciously: "It is estimated that when his waist will fail, he will get off the orchid." Everyone was stunned, and then reacted and couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, the hall on the first floor was filled with wine and ambiguous atmosphere, which made everyone feel a burst of heat, hugging the orchid beside them, and looking at the Hu Xuan dance downstairs with some absent-mindedness.
After a while, Yuan Shu asked a little drunkenly, "I'm going to take a bath, are you going to go?" ”
"Go together~ Go together!" Except for Wu Yong, several other people said in unison.
"Bartender, arrange a room for each of them!" Yuan Shu shouted outside the door. After saying that, he took the two orchids and walked out first.
Wu Yong didn't know why, grabbed Zhu Yuan, who was about to go out, and asked, "Why do you want to bathe here?" You look so excited. ”
"You're still young, you don't understand the joy of bathing." Zhu Yuan was a little stumbling. Wu Yong glanced at him: "Why do you look so weird?" Before Zhu Yuan could answer, the two orchids who were guarding Wu Yong's side laughed and said, "Is it the first time for Xiao Langjun to come to the orchid restaurant?" There are a lot of surprises in the bath, why don't you try it! ”
"What surprise?" Wu Yong asked subconsciously. The two orchids covered their mouths and chuckled, but they didn't say anything. When they saw Wu Yong's appearance for the first time, they liked the abnormality and frequently persuaded Wu Yong to drink, but Wu Yong was very restrained and only drank a small amount.
Now that he finally got the opportunity, he couldn't let Wu Yong run away, hugged Wu Yong, and walked out.
Zhu Yuan took this opportunity and hurriedly left with the two orchids. With a strong curiosity, Wu Yong came to a room.
It is said to be one, but it is actually divided into three rooms by a screen, and in the middle of this room, there is a large bath tub, steaming, and a small bucket of hot water next to it, and a wooden spoon and towel are placed on the square bench.
While he was still studying what surprises could be in this bath, the two orchids who served him were already changing their clothes.
"Lang Jun, are we good-looking?" I saw that they only had a vermilion bandeau on their upper body, a sandal-colored short skirt on their lower body, and only a thin gaule wrapped outside, and their bodies were tall and slender, revealing a large area of white and tender skin.
Seeing Wu Yong's eyes, they showed a look of shame and hatred, and began to lean towards Wu Yong.
"Don't come here!" Wu Yong was shocked, he finally understood where the surprise was at this time. This is a surprise, it is clearly a fright!
He was only twelve years old now, and he didn't want to lose his childhood. Therefore, he no longer had the heart to deal with the two orchids, and turned around and ran out of the room, leaving only the two women looking at each other.
Wu Yong closed the door and took a deep breath to calm himself down, but he didn't want to turn his head but found that Cao Cao was looking at him with a stunned face not far away.
"I've seen the eldest brother, how could the elder brother be here!" Wu Yong was stunned, he didn't expect to meet Cao Cao in the orchid wine shop.
Cao Cao also reacted at this time, and replied with some embarrassment: "Come, let me introduce you, this is Yuan Shao of the Runan Yuan clan." Then he introduced Wu Yong to Yuan Shao.
After speaking, Cao Cao explained to Wu Yong: "Brother Zhang Miao has a treat today, so I chose to be here, and I also happened to meet him, what about you, why are you here?" After Wu Yong and Yuan Shao greeted each other, they said honestly: "It's also a coincidence, Brother Yuan Shu has a treat today, and Brother Zhu Yuan brought me over." Then his eyes kept staring at Yuan Shao carefully, today, he and Yuan Shao met for the first time.
He was very curious about this famous celebrity. Yuan Shao saw Wu Yong looking over, nodded at him, and asked with a smile: "Oh, Brother Yuan Shu is also here!" Why don't you call them over and get together together? Wu Yong scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "They are bathing, and no one is allowed to disturb them!" The two suddenly realized and tacitly smiled at Wu Yong.
"In that case, let's go to the private room to talk, I happen to have something to discuss with you." Yuan Shao grabbed Wu Yong's hand and walked forward.
Cao Cao followed, and the three of them went to another private room on the second floor, where there were two other people in the room.
Yuan Shao introduced: "These two are Xu Yu of the Nanyang Xu clan and Zhang Miao of the Dongping Zhang clan. Then he introduced the two of them: "This is Wu Yong, the Son of Heaven who has recently moved to Luoyang!" After another salute, Zhang Miao sighed with emotion: "I have been interested in Wu Shi for a long time, and when I see it today, I know that it really deserves its reputation." ”
"My brother praised it falsely, and the kid admired his brother's righteousness and squandering money." Wu Yong hurriedly replied.
Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "I didn't expect that I was so famous that I could make Wu Shi's reading record in my heart." At this time, Xu You also smiled and said to Wu Yong: "Wu Shiyu, you and I are both from Nanyang, and we will be closer in the future." ”
"That's nature! The kid had heard the three emperors comment on the talents of the world, and Brother Xu You's name was among them. Wu Yong complimented.
In fact, this is simply what he made up, how could the three emperors pay attention to a teenager, Wu Yong decided that Xu You didn't dare to confirm it with the three emperors, so he dared to say this, in fact, it was a white lie.
"Really!" Xu You didn't know, he really thought that the three emperors had praised him, and his words revealed surprises.
Cao Cao is very depressed on the side, he and Yuan Shao have known each other for a while, although they meet every day, but they are lukewarm, now when they see Wu Yong, they are enthusiastic about him, and they feel even more aggrieved, this Wu Yong seems to have a grudge against him, every time they meet, it makes him feel unhappy for a while.
Wu Yongke didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking, he and Yuan Shao talked and laughed, and unconsciously, they were a little closer to each other.
At this time, Yuan Shao glanced at Cao Cao, and suddenly sighed and said, "As a close minister of the Son of Heaven, Wu Shiyu should not get too close to the eunuchs. ”
"What do you mean by that, brother? The boy didn't quite understand. Wu Yong was stunned for a moment and asked with some confusion. Yuan Shao stared at Wu Yong for a while, and didn't know if he really didn't understand, or if he deliberately pretended to be so, so he could only ask: "I heard that the behavior of the Ten Standing Servants to build toilets in Luoyang was proposed by Wu Shiyu, I don't know if it's true?" Seeing Wu Yong nodding, Yuan Shao immediately complained: "Then do you know that the ten permanent servants have recently caused a lot of resentment because of the toilet charges?" ”
"Ahh And what's going on? The kid really doesn't know. Wu Yong exclaimed, and then explained: "You should also know that the reason why the kid became the Son of Heaven was that Cheng Huang and Guo Sheng, who were often servants, played a great role in the middle. When the boy offered the method of printing, they came to the door and inquired about the method of profit. Speaking of this, Wu Yong sighed and said: "The kid didn't think much about it at the time, and he shouldn't have refused, but he thought that when they benefited, they could make some contributions to the people, so he proposed to build a toilet." At that time, the kid suggested that they sell the dung and water to the people for farming, but he didn't expect them to charge for it, which was really unexpected by the kid. Yuan Shao and the others looked at each other, they couldn't refute what Wu Yong said, from Wu Yong's starting point, it was indeed for the sake of the people of Luoyang.
Just when everyone was silent, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.
"May I ask who is Yuan Shao of the Great Hongluqing family?"
