Chapter 6 Where is Childe?
In the early morning of the next day, Su Yan changed into men's clothes and went downstairs, picked a table, and ordered two dishes of porridge. Li Yan was like a dog skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off, and he looked at her from time to time, and laughed stupidly after looking at her. Su Yan couldn't swallow a little, and kept staring at the door, the spoon in his hand was about to break. Li Yan on the side was clear about her thoughts, but he didn't dare to find out, this was completely self-defeating!
"Hey, where's your dad?" Su Yan came back to his senses and asked angrily.
Li Yan was suddenly choked on the porridge, and just swallowed it, it was all spit out, and he was so uncomfortable that he beat his chest and coughed. Su Yan frowned in disgust, took the medicine basket and was about to leave.
Li Yan was so anxious that he hurriedly chased after him: "Ah Yan, don't be angry, my father went out to buy something, and he will be back later!" He chased after him relentlessly, with a dog-legged posture, but Su Yan not only did not stop, but stepped up his pace, which made his pursuit more and more painful.
Su Yan snorted coldly from his nose, "Who cares about your father, I'll just ask casually!" Now that you're done, don't follow me! ”
After walking half a street and turning a corner, Li Xun was thrown away without a trace.
Chucheng is not big, but it is very prosperous, looking at the wine shops and teahouses on the whole street, Su Ming once proudly showed off the old things of shopping in the flower street with her, saying that the flower buildings there are the top in the world, the girls are the best-looking, and the most important thing is that the girls there are not only beautiful but also talented. Anyway, it is a mysterious, elegant, and luxurious flower building, which is simply a paradise on earth!
There are only two main streets in Chu City, and this paradise on earth is the nearest street, and she has always wanted to come and take a look, so she went to Flower Street to find it. In the past, Su Ming often daydreamed, saying that she wanted to buy a house in Chucheng, listen to books and drink tea every day, and look for flowers and ask willows every night, but unfortunately Su Ming failed to realize her dream, but she came to experience what it means to find flowers and ask willows.
Right now, she is standing in front of the flower building in chic men's clothes, a two-story pagoda-like carved building, colorful decorations, girls dressed up with flowers and branches, and men with a slump or sluggish look in and out of the flower building, all the erosive scenes make her resist in her heart. She looked at the scene in front of her in surprise, and suddenly knocked the heaven in Su Ming's mouth to hell. She wondered if Su Ming drank too much during the day and was dazzled at night?
The old bustard saw Su Yan from a distance, and ran towards her as soon as he rubbed the ground, the red and green skirts swaying in the wind. She beckoned to the girl behind her as she ran, "Chunhong Qiuhua come over and greet this little brother!" The girl over there was leaning on the railing to drink, and when she heard that there was business, she was busy putting down her work, and rushed over with her skirt to this side, squeezing away the bustard to welcome the guests, and did not forget to twist her waist and swing her hips, showing a girlish smile. In the absurd scenery, no matter how enchanting, it seems extremely funny.
Su Yan hurriedly avoided them, Chunhong Qiuhua's hands fell into the air but he didn't care, still smiling, "Yo! It's the first time for my brother, right? Qiuhua and I will be waiting for you and satisfying you. Chunhong suddenly grabbed Su Yan's waist as she spoke, making her tremble in fright, pushing her arm away and jumping a few feet away, shocked and frightened.
"How do you move your hands and feet?"
"Yo, this is still a chick, right?" The two looked at each other and laughed.
The old bustard was waving an embroidered handkerchief to her pink face to heat it, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and dragged them to reprimand, "You two don't hurry up to greet the guests, the whole flower building has the least business for the two of you, and even he can't keep you two sleeping on the street today!" Chunhong Qiuhua immediately silenced, dragged Su Yan and pushed it in, she didn't know how to be pulled into the so-called heaven.
Zuo Qing walked out of the alley opposite the flower building, his cold face became more and more frozen under the moon, and the surrounding aura instantly cooled a little.
He glanced at the dazzle building, turned around, and disappeared into the alley.
The lanterns in the green building are hung high, red and green reflect each other, full of spring light, and it is tempting. This is a three-storey four-sided mountain pavilion that sits in the north and faces south, the center is through the sky, from the first floor to the third floor is in the shape of an inverted funnel, the narrow mouth of the sky accommodates most of the moon, the moonlight is sprinkled, and the floor is all over the floor. Inside the four balustrades of the pavilion are the girls' boudoirs.
The old bustard is still twittering crookedly next to his ears, pulling and pulling in spring and autumn green, competing for business. Su Yan looked up, he hadn't seen this kind of architectural style for a long time, he hadn't even seen it in Ruoshui's palace, he didn't expect that a mere green building could reach such a high level, and he couldn't help but sigh at the arrogant bearing of King Chu!
He threw the silver taels to the old bustard, and said to them in the man's style: "You all go down and prepare a table of wine and food!"
The old bustard didn't believe his ears when he heard Su Yan's words, Danfeng's eyes were raised, and his voice was extremely sharp, "Childe doesn't want us girls?" ”
"Give you the money, you will do as you say, and you will return it." Su Yan glanced at the two girls, thinking that what she wanted was just to accompany the wine, but it was really a waste of beauty, it was better to give it to those male guests in need, thinking of this, I felt that I had a good conscience.
The old bustard looked him up and down, and was amazed, but said no more, let the two girls retreat, and led her into the wing. The most extravagant incense in Chucheng was lit, full of wine, and a table of dishes was finally served. Not to mention anything else in Chucheng, this Jiangnan special dish is really rare, not to mention the deserted city in the northwest, even in Rongguo Kyoto, it can be regarded as a plate meal for rich and noble people, if you want to eat a bite, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky!
It's a pity that Master Su Yanna picked the door a little, and he was reluctant to take her to eat and drink, because this meal is really hard to buy!
Outside the door, the old bustard ordered to guard the door left and right, paying attention to the movement inside. Dressed in a saro red dress, he staggered upstairs.
There was no palm lamp in the wing, and by the light outside, I could vaguely see a cyan screen in the center, and the man behind the screen was sitting, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
The old bustard did not approach, but only stood far away, changing the greasy face of the market, and his solemn eyes were full of indescribable vicissitudes of life.
"In the future, go to the front door generously, and walk through the back door to arouse suspicion."
"Auntie scared?"
The old bustard snorted and said, "I've been licking blood on the knife for most of my life, and I'm afraid that they won't succeed?" I'm worried that you'll be suspected and that something bad will happen! ”
"After years of planning, every step I took was seamless, and my aunt didn't have to worry. I'll show you something," he said, taking out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and placing it on the low table, "Lao Bai didn't find the whole scroll, but the most important thing was missing." ”
The old bustard hurriedly went over and picked up the bamboo slips, and said like a treasure: "Even if it is not a full volume, it is enough to make the world scramble!" ”
Zuo Qing shook the teacup close to the tip of his nose, raised his head and drank it all: "If you stay in the water for a few years, you will find out what it means to be struggling, if you don't throw it under the Murphy Gate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to perform." If the water is not like Chu City, there are Mo Party dog thieves everywhere, and this time my aunt will go back, and she will have to be more careful. ”
The old bustard disagreed: "When I get to Ruoshui, I have a piece of my own territory, so I don't have to pretend to be always there, but you, doing things under Murphy, I'm afraid you have to be cautious at all times." ”
It seemed to be talking about Zuo Qing's sore spot, he smiled bitterly and didn't say much.
The old bustard handed the bamboo slip back to Zuo Qing, and asked, "Can the matter of Kuaifeng Town be handled properly?" Don't overdo it. ”
"The people sent have not responded for the time being, don't worry, they are all from the rivers and lakes, and they are disguised as Murphy's dead soldiers, just scare him, and they won't see blood."
"Ge Zheng let his lieutenant raise his daughter, and he can really bear it after so many years of incognito in that town." The old bustard said with some sarcasm.
Zuo Qing smiled and said: "Aren't we the same, it's just that we have been planning, but Prince Zheng can only protect himself." But if he waits for a while, when Su Ming goes back to report the news, he will know that no matter how much he retreats, Murphy will not let them go, and he can only cooperate with us. ”
After that, he slowly got up and saluted her: "Before the cold winter, if the water gathers again." ”
After Zuo Qing left, the old bustard stayed in the house for a long time, and when the sun fell, the corners of her lips suddenly hooked up a smile, just like the fireworks blooming in March, but the red color was scattered in an instant, leaving nothing in vain.
It began, she muttered softly.
Su Yan was full of food and drink, wiped his mouth and was about to go out. Thinking that he was going to come out to find Zuo Qing, this is good, he spent money, entered the Qinglou, and forgot all about him! Thinking that he was here anyway, he walked around. Qinglou is actually a good place to go elegantly, literati and scholars, and the children of officials and eunuchs often linger here, chanting poems against each other, beauties are delicate, and they are happy. All the way to the lobby on the ground floor, the surrounding laughter and coquettishness, mixed with the voices of the little guys, are endless. She looked around again, and found that the people here were really open, and any corner could see a living spring palace, so she hid in a corner and watched secretly.
was about to enter the main play, but he heard a woman behind him laugh softly: "This son is really interesting, I don't go to the girl but I cut the wall here to steal the light, it is inevitable to lose my grace!" ”
Su Yan immediately dodged a few steps away from right and wrong, only to see a young man in white who was about her age staring at her with interest, followed by a young man in green clothes. These two are obviously fair ladies, but they are dressed the same as themselves, and they can't help but wonder, are they looking for their husbands? Looking at their brocade clothes again, how to say that they are also the daughters of prominent families, they said very politely: "This son is polite, I just looked at it curiously, isn't this about to leave, hehe, goodbye, goodbye!" ”
The 'young man in white' stopped her: "If the son is fine, can you have a drink with you?" ”
"Drinking?"
She smiled skillfully and beautifully: "I'm in for a treat." ”
It doesn't seem like I'm looking for a husband...
The 'young man in white' ordered a table of good food and wine to greet him, and the young man in Tsing Yi next to him was also very polite, but Su Yan had no choice but to fill his stomach, how could he eat again, so he just had a pot of wine and drank with them. The young man in white took the initiative to report his name, "My surname is Jin, and this is my friend." ”
The young man in Tsing Yi arched his hand, "Lock Qingqiu under it." ”
Jin Gongzi said again: "Gongzi looked at Miansheng, I don't know where he is from, and he has a big name. ”
Su Yan stood up and toasted, "In the lower Su Yan, the tavern guy in Kuaifeng Town, I'll do it first!" As he spoke, he raised his head and drank cleanly, which was extremely bold. Seeing this, the two teenagers also drank it together. After a glass of wine, Su Yan suddenly wondered, could it be that this Jin Gongzi had taken a fancy to himself? Otherwise, what are you doing with yourself drinking? Thinking of this, I can't help but be complacent, I didn't expect that I still have the ability to seduce a woman from a good family, and the master knows how to deal with himself!
Jin Gongzi interrupted her fantasy, "I came here to lead this sister this time...... Friends go to the Seven Senses Academy to enroll, tomorrow will have to leave, I heard that there is this good place in Chucheng, if you miss it I don't know when I can come again, I didn't expect to meet Su Gongzi today, it is really a blessing. ”
Seven Senses Academy?
Su Yan was a little surprised. Why have you been associated with this place lately?
Jin Yuncheng thought that she had not heard of it, so he explained: "The Seven Senses Academy is the royal academy in Ruoshui, the capital of Rongguo, and it has also been built in the past few years. Su Gongzi lives far away in the town of Chu State, and it is understandable that he has never heard of it. Over the years, Seven Senses Academy has been open to the people, and many people with lofty ideals can be selected, and they can also join the court after a few years of training. The most famous of these is none other than the second son of Yan Guo, if he has the opportunity another day, he must ask Su Gongzi to get acquainted with him. ”
"I've heard a little, but I don't know that the second son of Yan Guo is also among them, but unfortunately I am a country person, how can I have an intersection with the second son, unlike the two of you who are from famous families, and the second son of Jin is promoted! Another day, you come to Kuaifeng Town to find me, and I will order good wine and good food to entertain! ”
Suo Qingqiu said disapprovingly: "How good can the taverns in the town be, they are dirty and poor, those so-called good wines are all mixed with water, the so-called good meat, chew the same yellow wax!" ”
Jin Gongzi glanced at her helplessly, and whispered: "Can you stop talking, otherwise I won't let you enter the Lesheng Hall at that time." ”
As he spoke, Su Yan had a clear understanding of this Suo Qingqiu's temperament. Suo Qingqiu has a bad temper, no more thoughtful than the people around her, and she is afraid that she will offend people in the future, but this kind of person can't hurt her. Thinking of this, Su Yan only smiled, not taking it seriously.
Jin Gongzi said again: "Su Gongzi came all the way from Kuaifeng Town, is he visiting relatives and friends? ”
"There are no relatives, but there is one sick seedling!" As he spoke, he suddenly remembered Zuo Qing's matter, seeing that he had passed three rounds of drinking, he didn't know if Zuo Qing would have gone back, thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Jin Gongzi persuaded him, "Master Su, don't worry, why do you have to leave just after we just sat down?" ”
Su Yan apologized repeatedly, "I suddenly remembered that I have a friend who hasn't been found yet, and he is not familiar with his life, and he is still dragging on an old disease, but don't have an accident!" I lost my company first, and I will be reunited if I am fated to be reunited! He left in a hurry.
One hundred and one green and two women looked at each other, and Suo Qingqiu smiled, "Looking for someone to find Qinglou?" Jin Gongzi couldn't help laughing, "Still coming to Qinglou with illness?" ”
