Chapter Seventy-Four: Yihong Mansion
After all, it was in front of the Qiufu Gate, and many people were just watching from afar. Seeing the serious faces of the guards of the Qiu Mansion, no one dared to go up to inquire.
In the Great Chu Dynasty, if there is no sin, the titles of successive generations can be inherited by the heirs of the family. Today's Shaowu Marquis is thanks to the remnants of his ancestors to be able to manage the sects in the 100,000 mountains in Beiliang Mansion.
Ye Zhong had already begun to imagine the picture of Qinggu stepping into glory in his hands. Perhaps after knowing Ye Qinghuan's rumors in Kyoto, he had already begun to look forward to the arrival of this day.
Ye Qinghe glanced at his father weakly. She won't refute her father, but with Ye Qinghuan's temper, how could she do things for the Ye family, who couldn't save them when they saw death?
"Hey, hey, hey. You're shameless. "Yu Zhi is rarely unreasonable. Because reasoning is much less effort than moving fists. But now in this situation, Yu Zhi only wants to move his fists.
He turned around and pulled Ye Qinghuan towards the mansion, and casually ordered: "You two are guarding the gate of the Qiu Mansion, are you just watching these people bullying us?" ”
The two guards immediately understood, and suddenly more than a dozen guards stood in front of Ye Zhong and the others with sticks in the house. "You have come from afar, don't make it difficult for us brothers."
Yu Zhi listened to the guard's words, thinking that after all, he had studied for a few years, and he saluted first and then soldiers.
......
During the day, I went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and ran into a gray nose and took a dangerous errand.
At night, Yu Zhi walked alone towards Yihong Mansion again. After returning to Qiu Mansion, in just one hour, he had already figured out what that Master Jiang meant. So, he had to go to Yihong Mansion to find his uncle.
Listening to the music in the hall, holding a wine glass in his hand, plus Wen Yu into his arms.
Yu Zhi then understood why business in this gentle village of Kyoto was so prosperous.
He walked into Yihong Building, found a table in the corner, and sat quietly. Separated by countless people in the front row, the qin music that Yu Zhi could hear was already mixed with countless noises. Yu Zhi smiled bitterly, he also wanted to find a good seat, but every seat in Yihong Mansion was clearly priced, and Yu Zhi, who had no money and couldn't move an inch, had to shrink in the corner.
The scantily clad people wouldn't have looked at him a few times. There are no longer a few handsome sons and brothers in Yihong Mansion, but it's a pity that there is no silver reward with thousands of dollars, what is the use of being good-looking.
Yu Zhihun didn't care, drinking free wine and eating free peanuts, watching those beautiful people accompany those big-bellied or thin men who are as thin as bamboo poles into the rooms with a smile.
All evil money.
As a small person, Yu Zhi also envies such a day when the warbler sings and dances. It's a pity that so many people want to kill him. Yu Zhi remembered Ning Huan in the dangerous building, as well as a group of killers in the private school in the south of the city. He didn't understand why these people wanted to kill him, and Li Haomiao had no grievances about the private school once and for all.
Suddenly, the tip of Yu Zhi's nose smelled the aroma of fat powder, and then he saw a beautiful woman who was still charming.
"Why are you sitting here?" Liu Rushuang inadvertently saw Yu Zhi, thinking that this kid was the lover who came to her.
Yu Zhi poured a free glass of wine for Liu Rushuang, and then made a helpless gesture. "Aunt Liu, my nephew is a flat-headed commoner, and your nephew in the Golden Cave is afraid that he will lose some silver at a glance."
Liu Rushuang laughed, "You are the secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how can you call yourself a common man?" ”
As soon as he said this, Yu Zhi had another headache. "I, a petty official, am valued by my superiors, and I have received a great trouble before I take office. If I can resign and return to the field, I also want to return to the academy to live without worry. ”
"He's gone." Liu Rushuang said, her tone quite disappointed.
Yu Zhi didn't have too many surprises. Li Haomiao had told him to leave Kyoto. This time, Yu Zhi also came to try his luck.
"In that case, the nephew will go first." Yu Zhi got up, suddenly turned around and said, "Aunt Liu, I think Uncle will return to Kyoto soon, and you don't need to worry too much." After speaking, he showed an inexplicable smile.
Liu Rushuang had already passed the age of blushing, and scolded with a smile: "You kid ....."
Yu Zhi laughed, thinking that Li Haomiao's demeanor could make Liu Rushuang worry.
Yu Zhigang wanted to leave, but was pulled by Liu Rushuang. "Since you're here, I'm here tonight. A look like yours must make many girls happy, and you won't be able to stop the pink skeleton in the future. ”
"Aunt Liu, my nephew already has a sweetheart." Yu Zhi touched his nose and smiled.
Who knew that Liu Rushuang said again: "You kid think that Aunt Liu will stuff a person for you tonight, and she will spend the night with you?" I don't think your aunt will be able to spare you. ”
Yu Zhi is still a little afraid of Li Qingru. If Li Qingru knew that he had spent the night in Yihong Mansion, even if nothing happened, he would "inevitably die".
Seeing Yu Zhi's frightened appearance in a flash, Liu Rushuang explained: "The flower picking of Yihong Mansion tonight will let you see and understand."
With that, Liu Rushuang pulled Yu Zhi to the stands on the second floor.
The so-called flower picking is the work of those red people in the major green buildings bidding for the joy of the bed. Those red men are flowers, flowers that need a lot of silver to pick.
The building is seven storeys high, and the best place to watch the defloration is the grandstand on the second floor. Because Liu Rushuang led the way, Yu Zhi also enjoyed the life of a rich man and sat in the stands on the right side of the second floor.
Yu Zhi didn't know what Liu Rushuang's status was, but the people who could have a courtyard in Yihong Mansion obviously had some means.
"There will be an Oiran of Yihong Mansion tonight." Liu Rushuang said, "The person who picks the Oiran tonight will take a flower boat to wander on the Chu River in Kyoto for a spring night." ”
Yu Zhi also heard some about it in Kyoto. But he didn't dare to imagine this extravagant thing, even ten thousand dollars. After all, he was still the poor scholar who had just come down from the mountain.
"I heard that the Oiran of today's Yihong Mansion has attracted those royal relatives to rush to it, and even the current prince also wants to take it into the East Palace. It's true? ”
Liu Rushuang smiled slightly, "Naturally, it's fake." Even if the Oiran of Yihong Mansion is overwhelming, she and the crown prince are different from each other, and the Great Chu Etiquette System will not allow such a thing to happen. However, if you can't stand the fire, Aunt Liu can say it for you. ”
Yu Zhi's cheeks flushed, and Li Wantong's appearance appeared in his mind. What a charming leprechaun.
Yu Zhi did not refuse, nor did he agree. "That's how Aunt Liu was deceived in the first place?"
Liu Rushuang knocked on the door of Yu Zhi's head and said with a smile: "Ask around." Then, I seemed to be reminded of the grand event in Kyoto more than 20 years ago. There is no doubt that it was at that time that Li Haomiao rose to prominence in Kyoto. At that time, Liu Rushuang, a Qing man in Yihong Mansion, was also committed to him.
A young hero, a famous man in Kyoto, is undoubtedly a couple that everyone envies.
Yihong Mansion is a ring-shaped high-rise building. There is a stage in the center of the first floor, which is the place where people usually perform their arts. Because he is a Qing man who sells his art but does not sell his body, all sides of the stage are covered with screens embroidered with light gauze to block the view, so as not to make those boys who have big index fingers to do the work of buying and selling, and at the same time adding a touch of mystery.
Liu Rushuang looked at Yu Zhi, who also made Diaoyutai, and was surprised in her heart. Usually, she also accompanies many famous young masters in Kyoto to see the flowers, and many people are curious about who is in the screen that has not been removed. But Yu Zhi has been eating since he sat down on his buttocks, with good tea and good snacks.
Liu Rushuang really wants to say, this is a green building, not a restaurant, do you kid treat this as a restaurant?
"Little fish, don't you want to know what's inside?"
"The mysterious Oiran of the Yihong Mansion?"
"Aunt Liu dares to guarantee that you will take a second look after the first glance. With such a soft body, it's hard to guarantee that you don't want to go up and touch it. Liu Rushuang was seducing Yu Zhi, "Oh, no, no, in case you have a lot of beastly nature and have no property, you will have to stay in Yihong Mansion to pinch your waist and beat your legs for the girls." ”
Yu Zhi's face darkened, "I'm not a hungry ghost. In fact, Yu Zhi is sure that there will never be a woman who makes his heart move except Li Wantong.
"What's more, with a beauty like Aunt Liu sitting next to me, I can sit still without messing up, let alone other people."
Liu Rushuang laughed, although Yu Zhi's words were lies, how could he compare to those young women who were half-old, but he said it to Liu Rushuang's heart.
Yu Zhi's face did not change, but he was a little curious in his heart.
The Oiran of Yihong Mansion, the degree of popularity of this head can be comparable to the shame of Yu Zhi's questioning. However, Yihong Mansion released the news of Oiran three years ago.
Originally, the name of Oiran was selected by Kyoto's famous guests, and he was proficient in poetry and etiquette, and he had a unique piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the standards were extremely strict.
And this time, Yihong Mansion gave the title of Oiran to one person without authorization. I hadn't even seen the Oiran for a year, and I hadn't even seen my name.
The more mysterious it is, the more people are looking forward to it.
Who knew that Yu Zhi happened to be in time for tonight, the night when the veil of the mysterious Oiran was unveiled.
"Alas, what a pity. The young master of other families sent me many treasures, and I didn't even bring them to see them. I didn't expect to be rejected by you. Liu Rushuang pretended to be disappointed and hid her face with regret.
"Aunt Liu, otherwise you can take me to meet you." Yu Zhi said.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't sit still?"
"It's good to meet to verify that I'm a person who can't sit still."
“……”
Yu Zhi and the two of them have a good view from the stand, and they can see the entire stage, including the guests in their directions.
Naturally, Yu Zhi saw them, and they were naturally able to see Yu Zhi.
Xiao Jinghong is a frequent visitor to the streets and alleys of Kyoto, and his subordinates have gathered a large number of official eunuchs, and Xiao Jinghong is indispensable on nights like this.
Since that self-directed assassination, Xiao Jinghong may not have been to such a place for a long time. With his identity, someone has already reserved a place for him.
After all, the only royal family member who dared to wander in Yihong Mansion so blatantly was Xiao Jinghong. With the name of Xiao Jinghong and Zhao Wang Shizi in front, how many people dare to compete with him for a position?
Xiao Jinghong saw Yu Zhi very early, and was surprised that Yu Zhi was actually sitting with Liu Rushuang, he thought about it and walked in the direction of Yu Zhi.
Meng Duanzhang is still following Xiao Jinghong, and since that assassination, he has truly become Xiao Jinghong's henchman.
"In front of the public, the prince rashly went to see Yu Zhi, if the little prince listened to it, the opportunity for the prince to surrender would be gone." Meng reminded in a broken chapter.
Xiao Jinghong didn't stop, his face was full of smiles, and he said flatly: "What does Toucheng have to do with Yu Zhi?" If he likes me, why would he let me kill Yu Zhi. He Xiang Jinghao was just deflated by Yu Zhi, so let me go and vent his anger on him. He Xiang Jinghao is very calculating, and I am not a stupid person. In my opinion, if Yu Zhi dies at my hands, the Qiu family will be opposed to my Zhao Wangfu. And the Qiu family will definitely not be absent in this battle for storage places. ”
Xiao Jinghong sighed, "It's difficult." My father let him take care of things a little, and I, as a son, don't need to be careful with facts. ”
Meng Duanzhang lowered his hands, crossed his palms in front of him, and said: "The son of the world has a strategy, and he thinks through everything. The prince naturally doesn't have to worry about it. ”
When Xiao Jinghong came to Yu Zhi, Liu Rushuang was planning to take Yu Zhi for a sneak peek.
"Shizi." Liu Rushuang hurriedly saluted when she saw Xiao Jinghong, this is a distinguished guest of Yihong Mansion and a royal prince, so she can't be lazy.
Yu Zhi didn't care, he still crossed Erlang's legs, and he didn't have the idea of getting up. "Yo, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is just injured, so I'm here to look for flowers and ask Liu."
Qiu Ruoruo and Yu Zhi talked about Xiao Jinghong's visit to Qiu Mansion to warn them. It's just that he had already left Kyoto at that time and was being chased by those three archers.
A kind reminder or something else?
Yu Zhi couldn't see the intentions of this idle son clearly, so he could keep his distance.
Xiao Jinghong didn't care, sat on the chair beside Yu Zhi, and said, "It's not unusual for me to come here, but I didn't expect Brother Yu to like the place of fireworks?" is also so familiar with Liu's mother. ”
Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, no, no." I just happened to catch up with the flower picking. Aunt Liu is an old acquaintance of my elders, and I happen to be bothered. ”
"Mother Liu has been in Yihong Mansion for many years, and she should make good arrangements for Brother Yu tonight. I'll be able to pay for tonight. Xiao Jinghong said very angrily.
Liu Rushuang glanced at Yu Zhi and had no choice but to nod yes.
Yu Zhi frowned, he didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Jinghong, and he didn't want to accept a meaningless friendship. "Shizi, we are not ripe enough that you can invite me to drink flower wine."
Liu Rushuang was startled, and kept looking at Yu Zhi. How can this kid speak, the other party is the prince of Zhao Wangfu, how many people are waiting to tie up. Now that the other party is condescending and invites you to drink flower wine, you still don't give face?
Xiao Jinghong was dumbfounded, and then smiled: "It's always a good thing to have multiple friends."
Yu Zhi's eyes were calm, and he didn't respond immediately, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Tell me who sent the guy who chased me that day."
Friends are used to stick knives in both sides.
Yu Zhi has a very clear understanding of this. Those who can be called brothers and sisters by drinking flower wine are just friends of wine and meat.
Xiao Jinghong was embarrassed, he could tell Xiang Jinghao's instructions, of course, he also thought that Yu Zhi's assassination came from Xiang Jinghao.
Xiao Jinghong smiled bitterly at Yu Zhi, who insisted on his attitude. "It makes it difficult for me. I said it, I just wanted to offend the other end. It's hard to be a good person in the world. ”
"One end, or the other. The prince should always choose one side, he can't be a wall grass, and he wants to please both ends. ”
"It's nature." Xiao Jinghong said, "However, Brother Yu knows that in the Great Chu Dynasty, even I don't dare to offend a lot of people...... At this point, I really want to make Brother Yu a friend. ”
Yu Zhi looked at the back of Xiao Jinghong leaving, and a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be able to get the prince of Zhao to come and invite him. In just a few days, I see that you are also a famous boy in Kyoto. Liu Rushuang didn't speak until Xiao Jinghong left, and she took a breath. She knows that there is a difference between respect and inferiority, these princes and young masters from noble backgrounds, if they follow the other party's wishes, they don't mind laughing a little, once they disobey the other party's will, it will be a disaster to kill their heads.
Although she has been in the land of wind and moon fireworks for many years and has found some doorways, Liu Rushuang is still respectful to these characters in Kyoto. In Yu Zhi's words, he has a good father and can't afford to offend.
"Well, I'm one of the biggest names in Kyoto now." Yu Zhi said proudly.
Xiao Jinghong doesn't know what Yu is hiding, but as Xiao Jinghong said, there are only two or three people in his Zhao Mansion who can't afford to offend.
Could it be His Majesty today?
Yu Zhi smiled stunned, feeling ridiculous at his own idea. If it was really the Great Chu Emperor who wanted to kill Yu Zhi, Yu Zhi was afraid that he would die thousands of times, and there was no need to use the means of assassination.
In addition, today's majesty is known for his bravery, and before he became emperor, he was the emperor who piled up with a lot of bones.
Since it will not be His Majesty today, Yu Zhi does not understand Xiao Jinghong's caution. King Zhao is the emperor's younger brother, and he has been taken care of by the emperor since he was a child.
So, who else can be a threat to Xiao Jinghong?
Yu Zhi didn't understand, looking at Xiao Jinghong, who had returned to the main seat and was waiting for the flower picking to begin, there was some doubt in his eyes, and then there was a smile on his face.
"Aunt Liu, just now the prince said that the expenses for arranging for me tonight can be recorded in his account. How much can you believe this? Yu Zhi smiled evilly.
Liu Rushuang didn't think about it and said: "The prince of Zhao has always had a good reputation. It is also common to pay for people in Yihong Mansion. If you want it, Aunt Liu will find you a chick. Liu Rushuang also smiled, thinking that the young man was Chun. When the love is budding.
"I'm still not at ease, what if he defaults?" Yu Zhi said worriedly.
Liu Rushuang rolled her eyes and said angrily: "There is no need for Prince Zhao to ruin his reputation for your money to drink flower wine."
"No, no, no, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. How many brothers turned against each other for this money. I'm going to ask him for a note. Yu Zhi is serious and cautious. He didn't have the money to drink flower wine, and he was even more worried about being detained in Yihong Mansion.
Liu Rushuang didn't stop Yu Zhi from doing this next thing.
