Volume 2 Chapter 250 - Pretending to Fake (2)
Shui Zhongyue smiled slightly, "I didn't expect Miss Leng's light skills to be good." ”
"If you are someone else, you may be a compliment, but when it comes out of your mouth, it is like a mockery. After all, compared to you, Leng Rushuang is such a small skill of carving insects, but the class has an axe. ”
"I mean it." Moon in the water smiled bitterly.
There was a commotion in the courtyard below, and the two of them looked at each other, only to see a beautiful two-wheeled carriage parked outside the ruined temple, and a person stepped down from the carriage. Shui Zhongyue looked at it, and he recognized this person, who was the person who had just followed closely by the side of the Eastern Crow.
Leng Rushuang glanced at the moon in the water, looked at his frowning posture, and couldn't help but smile, "That person's name is Dong Chuang, he is the most powerful protector under Dongfang Crow, and he is also his henchman." ”
"I haven't seen the Oriental Crow, didn't he come?" The moon in the water wondered.
"You're a shrewd man, and sometimes you don't seem to know anything about the world. What kind of character is Dongfang Crow, he has a face in Huaiqing City, how could he come forward in person for this kind of thing? If the East Window incident happens another day, he can pass the responsibility on to his subordinates, and even act in a scene of righteous killing relatives. ”
"I can't imagine that this person is more terrible than I thought." Shui Zhongyue's face changed slightly, and she gasped.
Just as the two were chatting, Dong Chuang took out a heavy bundle bag, his eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face. Shui Zhongyue can guess what is inside without asking, according to its heavy appearance, there must be a lot of money in it, he secretly thought, Dongfang Crow is worthy of being the young master of the money bank, spending money like earth.
Leng Rushuang saw the scene in front of him, his face was tightened, and his tone was like ice, "In the past, it was information given to me by others, but what I saw with my own eyes today makes this person even more chilling." Fortunately, my father sent someone to investigate back then, and he didn't easily agree to the marriage, otherwise my innocence would have been ruined in the hands of the fourth son of Qingcheng. ”
"What do you mean?" The moon in the water was surprised.
Leng Rushuang shook her head and said with a wry smile, "It's not a secret, when they first entered the martial arts, they attracted much attention, and they all mentioned to my father." Fortunately, my father, as a deputy commander, is not easy to trust people, and after a private investigation, it was found that they were ruined, and finally the family affairs were not settled. ”
"It's a good thing you didn't marry them." Moon in the water smiled bitterly. Although he didn't want to make irresponsible remarks, just based on the intention of a few people to tarnish Leng Rushuang's innocence last night, it can be seen that they have no pity for the jade, and if Leng Rushuang really sets foot on his door, he is afraid that he will not have a good life.
"It's a good thing not to marry them, but I'll have to marry somebody." Leng Rufrost sighed deeply.
"As the saying goes, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, don't make a hasty decision in this matter, let's just let it happen!"
"It's not that simple, if I don't marry again, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome in the future."
"What do you mean by that?" The moon in the water is incomprehensible.
"If I keep the status quo, there will always be people like the fourth prince of Qingcheng next to me. The mention of relatives is small, and I am most afraid that they will do whatever it takes, which is unbearable. Leng Rushuang said resentfully, "These people are just people in the martial arts, it is not difficult to resign, but I am more afraid of the people in the court, some people have higher official positions than my father, if they want to accept me as a concubine, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my father to protect me." ”
"If that's the case, what do you mean by leading the practice?"
"It doesn't work either." Leng Rushuang smiled sadly and said, "It's not a secret, I'm an only daughter, if I don't have a family, then the Leng family will definitely have no queen." My father once swore that if I was lucky enough to have a son, the eldest son would take the surname Leng, so that the Leng family could continue the incense. ”
"The eldest son?" Moon in the water frowned.
"Yes, because of this, many people from prominent families, even if they want to, are discouraged."
"You can't blame them for this, after all, they marry wives and have children to pass on the incense, if you are angry, then it's okay, I'm afraid you only gave birth to a son." Shui Yue showed a bitter smile.
"You men, always think only of yourself." Leng Rushuang slanted his jade face and glanced at him, "As the saying goes, two women don't work together as a husband, and we always have to stick to the way of women, but no one has ever accused men of having three wives and four concubines. Only I can continue the incense in the Leng family, you men are different, you can find many women to give birth to sons for you. ”
Shui Zhongyue was stared at by her, coughed dryly, scratched her head and said embarrassedly, "While it's still early, let's go back to Leng Xiangfang early and maybe we can take a nap, after all, we have to go to Zuixianglou in the evening." ”
"You're trying to divert the conversation again." said coldly: "I haven't talked about you all along, what are your plans for the future?" ”
"Me?" The moon in the water looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "Before the moon is under the lamp, there is wine and meat, and that is enough." I've always had fun and don't think too much about the future. ”
"Don't you want to make a name for yourself in the martial arts and start a family?"
"Except for my father-in-law, who often wanders around, I am like a single person, without any concern, and I have always been at peace with what happens." Mizuki shrugged.
Cold as frost, her delicate body trembled slightly, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at her, and sighed lightly: "I really envy you for being so leisurely, and sometimes I also yearn for freedom." After a moment of silence, she said quietly: "Go back!" ”
The rain and snow are flying, the lights are on at the beginning, the lights are displayed outside the gate of the drunken incense building, the crowd is endless, the large group of cars and horses is lined up for more than 200 feet, and people are lining up one after another to rush in. Today, with Ji Ruoxue present, many people came from afar to see the abundance, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
It is enough for ordinary people to listen to singing and dancing, and powerful people are gearing up, eager to bring all the agate, amber, jade and other jewelry at home, just to chat about their hearts, please the beauty, see if there is a chance to draw a lottery, and hope to become Ji Ruoxue's guest in the curtain.
Shui Zhongyue parked the carriage on the outer wall, and the subordinates of the drunken incense building rushed over and led the horse to the rear stable. Leng Rushuang wore a ferret fur cloak, wore a thin veil on his face, moved the lotus step lightly, and walked side by side beside the moon in the water. Shui Zhongyue looked ahead, frowned, and said, "Isn't this a place for fireworks?" Why is it different from my impression that there are women and children here? ”
Leng Rushuang glanced at him, "Listen to your tone, it seems that you often come to this kind of place?" ”
"Hey, my father-in-law is afraid that my sword practice in the mountains and forests is too boring, he always says that you should have fun in time, and you should relax in time to be a person, and occasionally take me down the mountain to see the world." Shui Zhongyue looked embarrassed.
"How is the old man of the Silver Crowned Hou that kind of person, I think you want to go yourself!" Cold as frost said strangely.
Shui Zhongyue smiled bitterly and diverted the topic, "You haven't answered me yet." ”
Leng Rushuang glanced at him, "The Ximen family is a martial arts family, so you always have to cover up your face." The main building of Zuixiang Building is actually an ordinary restaurant, divided into three floors, its hall is a place for banquets and dances, and the upper two floors are guest rooms. Leng Rushuang pointed to dozens of lively courtyards on the left and right, his pretty face was slightly red, and he pursed his lips and said, "That's their gold cave." ”
"Are you going to the main building tonight?" Moon in the water asked.
"It's not an ordinary place to spend here, do you have any money to spare? I promised the Silver Crown Hou seniors to come to your aid, but I won't spend money on this kind of place, so you should die as soon as possible! "Cold as frost, don't be too pretty, and ignore him anymore.
"That's not what I meant." Shui Zhongyue felt a big headache, since he came to Zuixianglou, he always felt that he was not right about anything. In fact, he knows the reason very well, after all, Leng Rushuang is a lady with a good family background, and he is already a little touched by this kind of fireworks and willow alley, and he asks questions about himself, and he seems to be interested, of course he will be treated coldly.
"Ji Ruoxue will dance in the main hall of the main building." Said coldly.
"Speaking of Ji Ruoxue, are you familiar with her?" Shui Yue asked curiously.
"If you are interested in her, I advise you to give up." Leng Rushuang said calmly, "Have you heard of Sanjiang?" It extends from the Qingjiang River to the past, passing through the Wujiang River and the Zhujiang River, and is commonly known as the Three Rivers. Ji Ruoxue is good at singing and dancing, and often tours in Sanjiang, and is also known as "the first trick in Sanjiang". ”
The moon in the water pondered for a long time and asked, "What are the twelve golden hairpins of the martial arts mentioned by Beichen Ying?" You seem to be one of them, according to him? ”
"That's just a title that a group of boring people came up with, and they chose the twelve women they thought were the most beautiful according to their beauty and appearance, and they called them the twelve golden hairpins of martial arts without authorization." Leng Rushuangmei's eyes shot a look of disdain, and said disdainfully: "They don't know how many women have been disturbed by this move, and they hide all day long. ”
"Is it that serious?" The moon in the water said.
"For men, the Twelve Golden Hairpins of Martial Arts are not as simple as satisfying their selfish desires, but more like showing off their status. It is as if whoever captures his heart is a hero among men, and the thought of this is really evil. ”
"I can understand that." The moon in the water sighed softly.
"You're like those men?" Cold as frost and jade face cold.
"You're mistaken." Shui Zhongyue's face suddenly sank, and he said solemnly, "Back then, my father was the best person in the dart game, and he was well-known in the local area, and the reason why he was robbed by the bandits was because the bandits wanted to kill my father, and I will never forget their complacent faces." ”
Leng Rushuang didn't expect him to mention this matter, so he bowed his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring back your bad memories." ”
"Don't worry about it, this has nothing to do with you." Shui Zhongyue smiled bitterly, and changed her words, "By the way, Ji Ruoxue will not cause trouble if she acts in the opposite way and acts in such a high-profile manner?" ”
Leng Rushuang stared at him, and said with a shallow smile, "Don't look at her as a famous singer, her godfather Qianli Jiu is a Dongying tea saint, who has studied the tea ceremony all his life, and has won the love of many martial arts old-timers, and invites him to the house as a guest from time to time." If something happens to Ji Ruoxue, I am afraid that the martial arts will issue a wanted warrant and vow to kill the thief without stopping. ”
"I see." The moon in the water was surprised. After a while, he remembered something, "By the way, isn't Ji Ruoxue's martial arts very powerful?" ”
Leng Rushuang's beautiful eyes shone brightly, stared at the moon in the water carefully, and said in admiration: "Your intuition is really terrifying, you guessed well, if it weren't for the fact that she is a kabuki and doesn't often set foot in martial arts, otherwise it is rumored that she is one of the most potential people in the younger generation of martial arts." ”
"Who did she learn martial arts from?"
"There is a saying that she learned from her godfather, although Qianlijiu grows tea on weekdays, but her martial arts are unfathomable. Another said that her biological mother was the daughter of the famous school of Dongying, who learned Dongying knife skills since he was a child, and now he is a big man. Leng Rushuang shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Actually, these are all rumors, and no one has seen her perform martial arts." There are two other theories on the rivers and lakes, one of which is that she is not proficient in martial arts, but she is protected by a master by her side. The second is that her martial arts are mediocre, but the use of secret weapons is first-class, and many people feel that they have lost face after being calculated, and lie to the outside world that she is strong in martial arts. ”
"Can't even you find out the truth?"
Leng Rushuang sighed lightly, "Qianlijiu tea art is a must, the queen mother is deeply interested, and has summoned him to the palace many times." With this identity alone, my father didn't dare to investigate too deeply, so as not to offend him, and the queen mother blamed him, and his career was ruined. ”
At this moment, they suddenly heard a voice beside them, and the two turned their heads to look, and it turned out to be Simon Que who came out of the gate to greet them personally. Simon was beside him a man with a sallow complexion, a nose hooked like an eagle, deep-set eyes, and a well-proportioned body. At first, Shui Zhongyue thought it was a nursing home, but after being introduced by Simon Bird, she learned that this person was Mo Duowen, the head of the Zuixiang Building.
After Simon Que greeted him warmly, the two were taken into the courtyard by him. The layout here is symmetrical with the central axis, a avenue runs through the east and west, nearly dozens of quadrangle courtyards and several pavilions on both sides, the courtyard is decorated with flowers, stone fish ponds, rockery and flowing water, flowers are full of gardens, it looks like a paradise. Through the central road, everyone came to the Zuixiang Building, and there was a long queue outside, as if to check their identity. As the young master of Zuixiang Building, no one dared to stop him.
In order to make room for the main hall of Zuixiang Building, the previous tables and chairs were abandoned and replaced with a few soft cushions, so that everyone could also enjoy a glimpse of the kaki on stage without worrying about being blocked. There is a low couch behind the seat, the moon in the water looks around, this couch is to avoid disputes between guests, a guest is only allowed to bring a ㄚ鬟 or a shoe, the position is mostly in the host seat right behind the low couch.
After taking a seat, although Simon Que wanted to have a long talk with Leng Rushuang, but as the young master of the drunken fragrance building, he had to deal with everything exquisitely.
After the kabuki warmed up on stage, dozens of beautiful maids came to the side, laughing, adding drinks to the guests, respectfully serving hot towels to wipe their faces and hands, and serving the guests meticulously. After years of training, the pretty maid is full of charm, and she wants to catch and indulge in the fighting, which makes the man's heart itch, and he can't wait to catch the sword.
Although Zuixianglou entertains ordinary people, the maidservants around him only wear light robes, covered with looming gauze robes, and lower their bodies slightly, and the open placket glimpses the deep ravines and ravines. The moon in the water was a man, and he was somewhat interested in it, and after wandering around for a while, he turned his gaze back.
Seeing him like this, Leng Rushuang pursed her lower lip and snorted coldly, "It seems that someone's fox tail is exposed." The water monthly report smiled bitterly, leaned back slightly, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, I'm just a eunuch, so what's the point of taking a look?" I'm powerless! Leng Rushuang glared at him, as if blaming him for settling old scores.
The lights around the hall were extinguished, and the lights dimmed instantly, leaving only the stage brightly lit.
