Many years later, on the edge of that lonely peak cliff, Ning Que recalled the scene when he saw Jane's family for the first time, and still couldn't help but look back at that place for a long time, his face full of self-deprecating smiles and emotion.

At that time, he was full of longing to climb the stairs, thinking that tonight he was the legendary lucky oil seller with full scores, walking all the way as if he could see the beautiful Oiran waiting for him behind the bead curtain, but he never thought that when the little maid pushed open the red door and lifted the bead curtain, what he saw would be such a woman-

This woman is old, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes are very clear, and her figure is extremely well maintained, with enlarged breasts, thin waist and fat buttocks wrapped in a cloth wardrobe, but her forehead is extremely wide and huge, like a smooth sand dune raised in the grassland, her eyebrows and eyes are simple and kind, and there is a very light layer of fur on the thick lips under the straight nose, which is not ugly, but it can definitely not be said to be a beauty in a hundred, and it has nothing to do with a creature like Oiran.

He likes beautiful little girls of the same age, and the older little ladies are also very good, even if they are over thirty years old, charming women who want to come have a unique style, but Jane does not belong to any of these three types of people, she is just an ordinary woman over forty years old, calm and calm like a man.

Ning Que was slightly stunned, and immediately felt that his expression was a little impolite, forcibly calmed his mood, piled up a sincere smile, waved his hand to the woman, and asked, "I don't know what instructions you have when you call me here." ”

"Who are you?" asked Jane with a smile on his face.

Ning Que didn't hide it, and told him his origin.

"Although there are many places recommended by the military department this year, you can pass the preliminary examination of the academy, and you think you are also talented. ”

Jane glanced at him approvingly, and continued: "But since you are from the border city, you should not know who I am, and you can quickly calm down when you meet for the first time, young man, your heart is calm. ”

Ning Que lowered his head with great effort, deliberately not looking at her forehead, which was wider than the grassland, and not looking at the faint hairs on her lips, and subconsciously humbled a few words when he heard this.

With a few simple words of introduction from the woman and the proud addition of the little maidservant, he finally knew why the people downstairs paid special attention to the name Jane.

Thirty years ago, when the new monarch of the Southern Jin Dynasty was promoted, a song and dance line called the Red Sleeve Move won the most applause at the ceremony, and the fame gradually spread all over the world, just three years later, the Tang Emperor wrote a letter to ask the Red Sleeve Recruit to move into the Tang Dynasty because of the Red Sleeve Move, and the Southern Jin Dynasty monarch was powerless to resist, so he had to invite from here.

Since then, the red sleeves have been staying in Chang'an City, and in the past 20 years, they have only danced and sang for the Tang court, and they have no longer participated in the grand events of other countries, and their reputation among the people has gradually faded.

But for those real dignitaries, this singing and dancing line specially called by the most powerful empire and stationed in the greatest Chang'an City all the year round is undoubtedly still the best singing and dancing line in the world.

Whether it is the envoys of the Southern Jin Dynasty, the officials of the Yuelun Kingdom who came to pay tribute, or the barbarian princes on the grassland, as long as they come to Chang'an, they will always come to this building to invite the girls with red sleeves to sing a few songs and dance twice, and it is rumored that after the prince of Yan Kingdom was sent to Chang'an City as a hostage seven years ago, he relied on the red sleeves to spend the most difficult first two years.

Jane, everyone is not the Oiran of the world.

But she is the leader of the Red Sleeves Song and Dance Tour, and single-handedly brought out countless Oiran in the world.

......

......

"You are just a little teenager, since you want to enter the academy, the future is naturally promising, why do you have to learn those sour and rotten scholars, it seems that you will never be able to become a celebrity without entering the Qinglou a few times. ”

The smile on Jane's face seemed to be carved out with a knife, no matter whether her words were cold, questioning or persuasion, the smile was always so calm and tranquil, and there were always so many crow's feet at the corners of her eyebrows.

But Ning Que felt the subtle changes in the affection of this head of the meeting. Her intention to summon herself upstairs was unclear before, but after hearing that she was about to take the college entrance examination, the woman's tone subconsciously became stern, this sternness was not hostile, but a bit like the elders looking at the late school.

This change of mood made him a little at a loss, and he waved his hand and explained softly.

"I am a native of Yuelun Country, but I have also lived in Chang'an City for more than 20 years, of course I know what kind of temperament you Tang men are. ”

Jane no longer smiled, frowned at Ning Que, looked at the young man's young and energetic face, as if he saw the little scholar in the green shirt who rode the little black donkey many years ago and walked into the Great Wall arrogantly, hating iron and not steel, said:

"Do you know who that young man is? That is the only son of the seventh noble lord of Dongcheng, there are endless pocket money in his purse, he can be generous, but what should you do? With the temperament of you Tang people, you must think about inviting him back when you are invited, even if you are shy in your pocket, but next time you meet him again, you will invite him back after selling all the books in the family, am I right or not?"

Ning Que scratched his head a little embarrassed, secretly admiring this woman's gaze when looking at things, although he was not a typical Tang person, but in this kind of thing, there was still a bit of Tang style in his bones.

When Jane saw his appearance, she was even more annoyed for some reason, and threw the ebony beads on her wrist onto the couch with a snap, and repeated questions hit her like a storm.

"In this kind of soul-snatching place, your body and bones haven't grown yet, and your soul hasn't been raised, how dare you walk in!"

"It's all poor like this, and you still want to spend money everywhere, have you raised all the tuition fees and room and board fees for the academy?"

"How are you preparing for the admission test? Have you bought the past papers?

......

......

I wanted to monopolize the Oiran, but I met the mother of the Oiran with a great sense of morality, and was scolded by the Oiran aunt, no matter how I thought about it, it was very tragic. If it were a different situation or a different situation, Ning Que might murmur in his heart: Even if you are all powerful and respectable, but you are not my mother, why do you teach me a lesson as soon as we meet?

But Jane didn't oppress people with power, just like an earnest and nervous nagging elder, with a big painful word written on his eyebrows and forehead, he was really embarrassed to refute half a word, so he had to wait for Ai Ai to respond:

"It's the first time I've come to Chang'an...... It's just curiosity, I just wanted to sneak a peek outside the building before, where did I think that the sisters in the building made fun of me, this brain is hot...... Walked in inexplicably. ”

Jane was slightly stunned, turned around and reprimanded the little maid in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, because Her Royal Highness the princess has returned to hold a banquet, what a big deal is this, let those little prodigal hooves recuperate for a few days and practice dancing well, but one or two of them itched and couldn't help it?

The little maid was only submissive, and did not dare to refute anything at all.

Jane rubbed the corners of her eyebrows a little tiredly, looked up at Ning Que who was standing honestly at the door, and suddenly thought that she had only occasionally glanced at the hall before, and felt that the smell of this young man was a little similar to that dead ghost, so she couldn't help but shout and ask a few words, but she didn't know why she was angry.

She couldn't help laughing, waved her hand and said, "Since you're curious, I'll let you take a look, and after reading it, go home early and rest." ”
