Chapter Eighty-Four: Alum Lou Buys Drunk

A group of eleven people, through the Donghua Gate out of the palace, along the Mabu Street eastward more than 100 meters, just into Jingmingfang, there is a nearly three-storey high huge building complex into the eyes, this is the alum tower! Although it is not as exaggerated as "three floors are high, and the five floors are facing each other", it is also quite imposing, with flying bridge railings and light and dark communication. The overall building is undulating, the eaves and corners are staggered, and it is magnificent. At the entrance of the alum tower, there is also a "welcome" door made of ribbons and the like, and the atmosphere is warm and makes people feel at home.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the restaurant maid, I walked into it, only to see the hall aisle and the pavilion room, all hung with bead curtains embroidered forehead, decorated elegantly and warmly, indeed extraordinary, worthy of being the first of the "seventy-two restaurants" in the capital!

Wu Zhi couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, it seems that the owner of this alum building is also a powerful character with a unique vision and deep understanding of people's hearts, and he knows how to do business very well.

Seeing Wu Zhi's group of eleven people dressed in bright clothes and extraordinary appearance, the little guy didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed everyone into the private room on the second floor to take a seat.

Sit down, beckoned Xiao Er to serve good tea, and after a while, a young woman who still had charm came in with a vegetable slip and asked Wu Zhi what everyone wanted to eat. Suo Chao was clever, and hurriedly took the vegetable in her hand and handed it to Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi opened the vegetable post in his hand and looked at it, and then looked at the wooden menu hanging on the wall, and then ordered a Wu Yue soup soup, a stewed soft-shelled turtle, a cannon lamb, a hand-washed crab, a quail crystal chest, a holy decree bone crispy fish, a Dongpo elbow, two vegetarian dishes and two Hu cakes, and the signature Jiumei Shou Wuzhi of the alum building also asked for two small jars, which are estimated to be four or five catties.

When Wu Zhi finished ordering, he saw that the young woman was motionless, and she didn't look at him, just staring at Yan Sheng, and kept taking her eyes.

"What's going on?" Wu Zhi felt inexplicable, and the other ten people were also a little stunned. Then everyone reacted, it seems that this young woman saw that Wu Zhi was very young and dressed casually (Wu Zhi changed into regular clothes in the front of the palace after the next court), and felt that he was lightweight, and he couldn't count what he said! And Yan Sheng is the most luxuriously dressed among everyone, she thinks Yan Sheng is the main one!.c

Seeing this, Yan Sheng was so angry that he burst into smoke, glared at the young woman and scolded, "Blind your dog's eyes! This is our Hou Ye! Don't go ahead and prepare meals like this! Get out!"

"Master Hou?!" When the young woman heard this, she was so frightened that she lost her face, and hurriedly made amends, and left the private room in a panic with the vegetable sticker, caressing her heart, and was shocked.

"Mom! Such a young and low-key Hou Ye? How come I've never seen it! Who of the princes and grandsons who came here in the past was not high-profile and won five people and six people?" The young woman thought secretly, and slowly calmed her heart as she walked. She was unlucky today, and she ran into Wu Zhi, a low-key god.

Seeing this, Wu Zhi couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that this alum building also judges people by their appearance.

Everyone slowly drank tea and waited, and after a cup of tea, the wine and food began to be served one after another. The unhappiness just now was left behind by everyone, and everyone began to feast.

After tasting a few bites of food, Wu Zhi found that the food in this alum building was indeed good, exquisite and beautiful, and the taste was not bad. But after tasting a sip of wine, Wu Zhi felt that it was still a bit unsatisfactory, far from his own champion series of wines, and it was not at the same grade at all! Alum House also has "Zhuangyuan Alcohol" and "Zhuangyuanlang" liquor purchased and sold from Zhuangyuan Building, but Wuzhi will not stupidly spend a high price to buy his own liquor to drink.

Wu Zhi toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and after drinking two glasses of wine from everyone, he stopped drinking, and drank soup and ate vegetables with Hu cakes.

After three glasses of wine, a graceful lady twisted her waist, pushed open the beaded curtain, and walked into the private room, holding a name post, asking if she wanted to be accompanied by a courtesan, singing and dancing?

Everyone looked at Wu Zhi, their faces were full of anticipation, Wu Zhi wanted to refuse, but he smiled helplessly when he saw this, so he had to take the name card handed over by this lady and browse it quickly.

Suddenly, a name came into Wu Zhi's eyes. "Master Li?!" Wu Zhi's heart jumped, and Yan Jidao's depiction in "Sheng Chazi" suddenly appeared in his mind, "The distant mountains have long eyebrows, and the thin willows have a curled waist. Makeup stands up for the spring breeze, and a smile is less. When I returned to Fengcheng, I said that I was with Qinglou Road. Looking at Yingchuan flowers all over the world, it's not as good as the teacher", is it really the famous Li Shishi who is entangled with Song Weizong?

"How old is this Master Li?"

Wu Zhi pointed to the name of "Master Li" and asked Mrs. Manmiao suspiciously.

"Back to Master Hou, this master is fifty out of thirty. She's a little older, but she's very talented! Does Master Hou want her to accompany you?" Madame raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at Wu Zhi, and said thoughtfully.

"Oh, it's five out of thirty, so it's not her!" Wu Zhi listened to it and breathed a sigh of relief, this master is not the other teacher!

"What's not her?" Mrs. Manmiao was a little puzzled, and her eyes flowed.

"That's it!" Wu Zhi didn't bother to explain to her, so he casually ordered a young courtesan named Yoo Susu.

Mrs. saw that Wu Zhi was not the top courtesan of Alum Tower, and she was a little reluctant, so she didn't leave, and wanted to continue to sell the top brand, but Wu Zhi was glared at by her eyes, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly picked up the name card, twisted her waist and went out. Before coming to this private room, she had already inquired clearly, this private room came to a young and low-key Hou Ye, originally wanted to take advantage of the young people to do nothing, can be slaughtered fiercely, but how do you know that people are not on the road! She didn't dare to slack off, and quickly arranged for people to go after she went out.

A moment later, a pretty girl with a tall figure of nearly one meter and six meters came with a beaded curtain. I saw her holding the pipa in her arms, seventeen or eighteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, bright eyes and bright teeth, wearing a blue narrow-sleeved Luo skirt, a long-sleeved shirt, and a silver hairpin with her hair coiled up obliquely, graceful and graceful, but without makeup, there is no painted makeup on her fair face, no wonder it is called Susu, it is really worthy of the name. And there is a faint hint of indifference and arrogance between the eyebrows. Behind her, there was a handsome little maid with a song list in her hand.

When she walked in front of everyone, the girl bowed to Wu Zhi and the others with a little shyness, and called softly, "Hello everyone!" then stepped back, sat in the singing and dancing seat, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, waiting for Wu Zhi and others to order a song, his movements were a little green and stiff, it seemed that he had just entered the industry and was still a newcomer.

After taking the song list handed over by the little maid's hands, Wu Zhi glanced at it and saw that there was a "Water Tune Song Head: When Will the Bright Moon Be There" written by Su Shi, and he was immediately interested, so he pointed to "When is the Water Tune Song Head: When Will the Bright Moon Be There" and said to the little girl, "That's it!"

Su Shi was demoted due to the Yuanyou party dispute, far away from the capital, Wu Zhi has been friends for a long time, and he has never seen this famous romantic writer until now, so he naturally became interested in his words.

The little maid told Liu Susu about the song list ordered by Wu Zhi, Liu Susu nodded, and saw that Wu Zhi, a young and ordinarily dressed son, was ordering songs, and when everyone did not object, she was a little surprised, and couldn't help but take a look at it, only to find that although the young man in front of her was dressed plainly, he was handsome and extraordinary, and he had a faint might, and there was a ripple in his heart.

Retracting his thoughts and preparing a little, there was a sudden sound of "Zheng", Liu Susu lightly tapped the pipa with her hand, and sang slowly with her singing voice in the pipa: "When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dance to figure out how the shadow seems to be in the world. Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together", the voice is crisp and beautiful, such as a hundred souls tactful, but slightly low, a little uncomfortable charm. When she sang "People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete", her voice brought out a trace of trill, and when she sang to the end of "I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together", there was a little choked in the song. Wu Zhi could hear it and could see that this girl really had something on her mind.

"What's the matter with you? The singing is broken!" But Yan Sheng stopped hearing this, calmly faced, and pointed at Liu Susu and scolded. He is a frequent visitor to Goolan Washer, so he naturally heard the clues.

Liu Susu knew that she was in trouble as soon as she finished singing, and the courtesans were most afraid of breaking the sound when they sang, which was a taboo for Qingqi singing! But singing and singing, the lyrics brought her into her own sad fate, touching the scene, she was sentimental, and she couldn't help it! Seeing the luxuriously dressed Yan Sheng scolding her, she was so frightened that she was so frightened that she was busy making amends to everyone.

"That's it! Brother Yan, I think it's good to sing! Deserve the reward!" Seeing this, Wu Zhi hurriedly stopped Yan Sheng, said with displeasure, and waved his hand to let Yan Sheng sit down. When Yan Sheng heard Wu Zhi say this, he quickly shut up and laughed

Sit down. None of the others objected.

When Liu Susu heard Wu Zhi say this, she also felt a stagnation in her heart, and glanced at Wu Zhi with gratitude, and her thoughts surged: "It seems that this young man has an extraordinary background!" She could see that this group of people was looking at this young man's horse.

"Miss Liu, please sing it again and listen to it, it's all yours." Wu Zhi took out a silver ticket of 100 yuan and put it in Yoo Susu's hand, smiling.

"Huh? So much?" Liu Susu looked at the 100 silver tickets in his hand, a little confused, surprised and panicked, not to take it, not to accept it, in a dilemma. Now a hundred yuan is really a huge amount of money for her, since the family suffered a drastic change, she did not come to Alum Lou as an official prostitute, she insisted on selling her art and not selling herself, and the income from singing every day was only one or two yuan, and Alum Lou also took half of it, and there was not much left in the actual hand.

"This is a reward from Master Hou, why don't you put it away and sing quickly!" Yan Sheng saw that she was still squirming and pinching, and reprimanded her impatiently. Then he was glared at fiercely by Wu Zhi, and he hurriedly picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of wine to hide his embarrassment. The others couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

"Master Hou? Thank you, Master Hou!" Su Su's heart trembled when she heard Yan Sheng's words, and she hurriedly put away the silver ticket in surprise, bowed deeply to Wu Zhi smartly, raised her eyes and glanced at Wu Zhi deeply, and then retreated to the song and dance seat, and played the pipa again and sang. This time she stabilized her mind, finished singing tactfully and crisply, and there was no trace of error, the singing was melodious, and everyone was intoxicated, Wu Zhi also felt that it was meaningful, and the aftermath was lingering.

After singing, before leaving, Liu Susu glanced at Wu Zhi deeply, and after thanking Wu Zhi, she saluted goodbye and walked out of the private room, leaving only a burst of fragrant wind.

After Liu Susu left, Wu Zhi and the others continued to stagger, he had not eaten enough, and everyone had not yet drunk and had a good time.
