At night, the sound of firecrackers was heard everywhere, and the gate of the courtyard was pushed out in the night, but fireworks were set off in the prosperous part of the city and in the direction of the palace.

Following the old road that Fang Yu led him to a few days ago, there were more guards at the intersections of each street, blocking most of the low-level weak people from it.

Coming to the outside of this bright moon building again, compared to the day when the lanterns were only hung in the corners of the eaves, at this moment the whole building is full of bright red lanterns under the eaves of each floor, which is bright and reflects the sky, with the gorgeous fireworks behind it, looking up at it is like the Lingshan Buddhist Temple descending into the world.

A bright fire was reflected in Ji Ye's eyes, and this scene reminded him of the Chinese New Year's Eve in Fuzhou, and he really didn't like the festival of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Subconsciously turned his head to look, but fortunately there was no fire in the distance on the side of the street and the dust and smoke kicked up by the horses.

Ji Ye was amused by himself and smiled bitterly, and walked forward through the crowd to the entrance, Pan Niang still led eight or nine guards in front to greet the guests, and when she saw Ji Ye coming, she said with full kindness on her face covered with grease powder: "Ji Gongzi, are you here?" Today, my young lady is not here, so the slave family will take you up. ”

Because Ji Ye had broken the siege by mistake before, her attitude towards Ji Ye was much better, and she regarded Ji Ye as the master of any family during the conversation, which sounded a little awkward.

Ji Ye followed her into the hall, and saw that the three or five dancers on the stage also changed to lively dances, twisting to the piano music.

And in this hall, the corridor is actually full, and there are only three or five empty tables on the side.

Among them, most of the extravagantly dressed old men called three taels of wine ladies to hug them, while the poor scholars brought three or five taels of silver to buy a pot of wine and sit alone, in exchange for a remote seat on the side, which was already a savings saved for several months.

Ji Ye said in his heart that there were still so many people in this green building on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he couldn't help but ask Pan Niang. Pan Niang said with a smile: "Since ancient times, there has been a lot of food, hunger does not choose the day, but there are more visitors on every big and small festival." What's more, today is the day of the auction of the oiran, which has attracted many people who want to see it. ”

Ji Ye looked around, and sure enough, many people recognized him as the rich boy who spent a lot of money that day, and quickly avoided his eyes and followed Pan Niang up the stairs along the wooden steps that were folding, and he was a little more curious about the appearance of this Oiran Ye Xiangwan.

When I went up to the higher buildings, the noise in my ears was even worse, and the shouts of drinking and merryfulness were everywhere, and the soft humming faintly came from time to time, which was very disturbing.

Further up, the higher the level, the smaller the momentum, and when you reach the highest eighth floor, the surroundings are silent. This bright moon building is a ladder again, to the top floor only two big houses in the north and south remain, and the decoration is more exquisite and wonderful than the bottom floor, all kinds of famous ancient paintings, official kiln famous porcelain can be seen everywhere.

Pan Niang led him to the house in the northwest, and when Ji Ye passed by the house next to him, he heard a slight noise in it, but the door of the house was closed strictly, and there was a silk curtain in it, and even the figure could not be seen clearly.

Pan Niang stretched out her palm and pointed to the door of the house in front of her, and said, "Ji Gongzi, this is the house." I should still remember what Miss Zhang said that day. ”

Ji Ye nodded, and Pan Niang said reassuringly: "Then the slave family will retire." ”

Without waiting for her to go far, Ji Ye couldn't wait to climb up with both hands and push open the door of the house. And he just pushed open a small gap, but before his eyes came, there was a strange fragrance from the tip of his nose, although this fragrance was not very strong, but it was fresh and elegant, refreshing, and the smell was very pleasant, and there was a slight familiarity.

Ji Ye closed his eyes and took a deep breath, pushed open the door and stepped forward to cross the threshold, opened his eyes and saw a woman sitting on a velvet couch, staring at him sideways, and in front of her there was a pitch-black low stone table, on which a pair of green and white tea sets were placed, all of which were official kiln colors.

There was a brazier beside the stone table, in which a charcoal fire was burning, and it was the same red charcoal used in the palace, and there was a vacant seat on the opposite side, and the velvet couch under him extended there.

Ji Ye moved his eyes to look at her, only to see that she looked like she was in her early teens, her skin was better than snow, her face was fairer and more delicate, and even a little unnaturally white, a pair of big dark eyes were very smart, and her eyes seemed to be as deep and clear as the moon and stars. Looking at her appearance is peerless, not to mention that she is as beautiful as a fairy, even if the celestial fairy comes to see her, she must be ashamed to avoid her gaze.

Ji Ye looked at her like this, and he was fascinated, completely ignoring what clothes she was wearing, what decorative background was in the house, and staring at her no longer long.

This woman was two points more beautiful than any woman she had ever seen, and it was no wonder that with her outstanding appearance, she had robbed her of the name of the Oiran.

When I was thinking about it, I only heard a pleasant female voice in my ears: "What are you looking at when you stand there in a daze?" Why don't you come and sit down, are you blind? ”

But listening to her voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley, crisp and smart, it doesn't match her appearance very much, presumably she is that Ye Xiangwan.

Ji Ye came back to his senses and saw that it was this woman who was talking to him. I realized that it was not appropriate to stare directly at others, so I was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah, okay, I'll sit down here." He immediately took off his outer boots and sat cross-legged on the velvet couch opposite Ye Xiangwan, his eyes still staring at her. Because the charcoal fire was burning in this room, it was warm and comfortable, and the woman only wore a white plain shirt, which did not hide her peerless appearance at all.

After Ji Ye sat down, Ye Xiangwan on the other side didn't care about him staring at him cheekily, he half-knelt up and stepped forward, sniffed a few times and asked him: "You are what Sister Xue Ning said, the Ji Ye who accidentally rescued the two of us, Ji Gongzi?" ”

Ji Ye nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

At this time, she got closer, and Ji Ye even smelled the fragrance of Qingya Qi emanating from her.

Ye Xiangwan sat back in place and said: "Then thank you very much, I heard Sister Xue Ning say that the fat and disgusting second prince actually paid 50,000 taels to buy this Chinese New Year's Eve night, thanks to your stunned green, otherwise if he came upstairs, it would be really bad." ”

Ji Ye asked, "What, are you worried that the second prince is strong." He swallowed and paused: "Forced by you? ”

Ye Xiangwan's eyes widened, but she didn't see any signs of crimson on her cheeks, and said angrily: "Why, if he goes upstairs today, I will get up and beat his pig's head and pig's nose with three punches and two kicks, and then throw him from this upstairs into the lake." ”

Ji Ye was very funny to hear her say this, and asked her with a smile: "I can't imagine that you are still a martial arts master?" ”

Ye Xiangwan even said: "Even if this girl is not a master, it is very easy to subdue him with a method, it is simple to get him away and throw him into the lake, but Sister Xue Ning said that if you annoy him, it will be very hindering to the business of Mingyue Tower and the Zhang family, which is the big bad." ”

Ji Ye teased and said: "Then I have to thank the girl for not beating or throwing away." ”

Ye Xiangwan said: "Sister Xue Ning has already made it clear to you, you don't have that kind of mind, so naturally there is no reason to throw you into the lake." What's more, although you look a little ordinary, you are still gentle and thoughtful, which is much better than the annoying Fang Qiu at first glance. ”
