Nanqu, cherish the fragrance of small buildings.

Shen Shi Ri Shop, two maidservants are decorating the front hall.

"That's what he said?"

"Well, three truckloads of red silk were transported, saying that the lady must be done, and saying that there is something to do tonight, and he will come back tomorrow night, so he really thinks he is a character in Chang'an."

When Shao'er heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled: "It's not impossible for the fake mother to say this, it's not that she saw that this countryman was so coaxing, so she hung him for a while." ”

"But the lady thinks he has the phlegm of the right phase, so I really don't want to."

"Also, the lady is not a high-ranking official in a scarlet robe, or a talented and famous person, what can a soldier who does not learn and has no skills to join the army? It's really not good, move out of the left phase......"

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door.

Shao'er hurriedly went over to open the door, but saw a handsome young man standing outside the door, although his clothes were ordinary, the bearing in his eyebrows and eyes was not ordinary.

She couldn't help but smile and asked, "Lang Jun is here to eat and drink?" ”

"I want to meet the owner here, I wonder if it's okay?"

Shao'er laughed and said, "Lang Jun is a guest, right?" If an individual guest makes a drinking order with my lady in the front hall and listens to her play the piano, he will pay 3,000 yuan for a tour of wine; If you want to invite the lady to sit alone and play the piano, you will have 20,000 yuan for a tour of wine and 10,000 yuan for regular customers. ”

"Is there a liquor order?"

"If Lang Jun has a talent for poetry, he can win the favor of my lady, and it doesn't hurt to play a song alone for you." Shao'er encouraged.

The little man groaned slightly, glanced at the three carts of red silk placed in the courtyard through the courtyard door, and at the end, took out a piece of broken silver and handed it over.

This was actually his last bit of money.

Seeing that there was only this bit of silver, Shao'er was a little disappointed, and said with a smile: "Lang Jun, please." ”

~~

The night is getting deeper.

Although there is a curfew in Chang'an, the three songs of Pingkangfang are not checked, and the lights are bright all night, and the sheng songs are non-stop.

The first pair of candles burned out, and every time I drank a tour of wine, the price of the wine was doubled.

If you want to stay overnight, you have to drink three more rounds of wine, and you have to pay another gift, but the amount of the gift depends on the king's mercy, so it is often to spend tens of thousands of dollars a night here, and you can't kiss Fangze.

A few drunkards who listened to the piano got up and left, and stayed elsewhere in Sanqu, after all, it was always the same to watch prostitutes under the lamp.

In the future, when I mention Pingkangfang to others, I can also comment a few words, so that people can know that they are also characters who have heard famous prostitutes play the piano, and they have the same taste as the red robes in the court.

Three thousand dollars to improve their own artistic conception, worth it.

But there was a person who rode a horse in the night, it was Yang Zhao.

His face was not very good, and he didn't have the heart to laugh with the fake mother, and said in a tired tone: "A case was solved, and Lao Tzu didn't close his eyes at this time." Bring me some wine, and let Wang Lianlian drink with me, and I will rest in this courtyard tonight. ”

The fake mother waved her handkerchief and smiled: "Lang Jun is so hard, there are heroes like Lang Jun in Chang'an City, and I will wait for the people to feel at ease." ”

Yang Zhao laughed, but scolded in a blink of an eye: "Hugh farted with your grandfather!" ”

The fake mother was not annoyed, and arranged for two maids to take Yang Zhao to burn his feet to relieve fatigue and prepare a banquet by herself.

Incense was lit again in the hall, wine was warmed on the small stove, and candlesticks were lit one by one and covered with sarongs.

Yang Zhao first burned his feet in the front yard, and then sat down in the middle hall, only to feel comfortable.

Suddenly, he heard a lute behind the curtain, he smiled and said, "I don't understand these squeaky babbles, come, drink and talk with me." ”

Wang Lianlian walked out slowly, knelt opposite Yang Zhao, and said with a smile: "The slave family pours wine for Lang Jun." ”

"I've always wanted to ask, what kind of incense do you use that smells so good?" Yang Zhao drank a glass of wine and said, "My mother-in-law also smokes incense, and the taste is much more vulgar than yours, too vulgar." ”

"The slave family has its own spices, and the wood is paired with a little dipterotop." Wang Lian poured the wine and replied softly: "Zuo Xiang also likes the spices of the slave family, and he sent someone to ask for some the day before yesterday." ”

Yang Zhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled, and said happily: "In this way, I have the same taste as Chen Gong, but why did I smell the fragrance outside the door?" ”

"The slave family's house is built with agarwood, and it has some aroma, and Lang Jun is becoming more and more sensitive now."

"Chang'an is Chang'an!" Yang Zhao drank another glass, sighed in admiration, and then looked forward to Zixiong, and said: "I have been in Chang'an for a long time, and I feel a lot more noble, what do you think?" ”

"Lang Jun is the uncle of the country, and he is a natural nobleman." Wang Lianlian was too lazy to teach him those luxurious things today, so he said a perfunctory sentence casually, but asked: "The slave Guan Langjun seems to be a little unhappy tonight, but what happened?" ”

Yang Zhao scolded again and again, and said: "Let a vertical man play, and make me wait for a long time in the Qingmen wine shop." ”

When Wang Lian heard this, a shallow smile appeared on his face, and he said, "How about the slave family introduce a character to Lang Jun?" This person talks extraordinarily, and he will be of great use to Lang Jun. ”

Yang Zhao became interested and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Wang Lianlian's slender hand was raised lightly, and Shao'er, who was serving wine on the side, got up and rolled up the curtain in the hall.

Yang Zhao found that there was a person sitting behind the curtain, and he couldn't help but be annoyed. Xu Yu thought that the person who could make Wang Lianlian fancy must have an extraordinary identity, so he looked forward to it, and also tidied up his appearance.

The curtain was slowly rolled up, and there was no candle in the back hall, so that half of the face of the young man sitting there was hidden in the darkness. It can only be seen that he is wearing an ordinary jacket and robe, sitting still, with a sense of calm that ordinary people do not have.

Yang Zhaolang smiled, crossed his hands and saluted, and said: "Yang likes to make friends the most, I don't know your honorable name?" How about you and me have a drink? ”

"Xue Bai."

"Xue ......"

Yang Zhao was still thinking about which room the other party was most likely to be in the Xue family, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, only to realize that the arson culprit he wanted to arrest was in front of him.

At this time, Wang Lianlian had already gotten up, retreated to the side with Shao'er, picked up the pipa and plucked the strings.

The sound of the pipa is smooth, like the chirping of birds in the courtyard, trying to leave a conversation atmosphere for the two of them to be embellished with music.

Yang Zhao glanced at her, but what he thought was that he had spent tens of thousands of dollars here, and he didn't even touch it, and even a fugitive could enter the house tonight.

An evil fire rushed up in his heart, and he got up suddenly, wanting to call someone to take Xue Bai down, but then he hesitated and shouted: "Good thief!" So-and-so is hunting you! ”

Xue Bai smiled.

Since he opened his eyes, he has seen that the Tang Dynasty is as prosperous as a pot of boiling water, in full swing, and everyone is fascinated and chasing fame and fortune. Everyone wants to climb up, they want fame, wealth, power, orchid wine, and Silla maids to warm their beds.

The world is extravagant and the world is crazy.

So the officialdom is full of high and low, flies and dogs, Yang Zhao is a typical example, in his heart, the famous prostitutes who have a wide range of contacts are far higher than the fair status in the world.

If there is no Wang Pian to introduce him, I am afraid that Yang Zhao will see him like a dog seeing a bone, and with Wang Pian to introduce him, the dog will look up and hesitate whether it is a bone or a person in front of him.

Three thousand guan let Yang Zhaogao take a look, it is worth it.

"Presumably Uncle Guo has already read the letter below?"

"Huh."

Yang Zhao got this title, and couldn't help laughing out loud first, and shouted: "You played tricks on me, causing me to wait in Qingmen for a long time!" ”

"It was precisely because Uncle Guo did not lead his troops to Qingmen to pick me up that I came to meet me."

"You tricked me once, and you still want me to believe you? I might as well take you for meritorious service! ”

"Du Wulang is still hiding, if I can't go back, he can only die in the world." Xue Bai said: "The important thing is that Uncle Guo can't get him, and he still has to eat and fall in front of the right minister." ”

"Then you're really thinking about me?"

"It's not that the prince ordered me to burn Liu Tao's study, it's just that I acted when I saw the opportunity."

Xue Bai has repeatedly pondered the causes and consequences of this power struggle in the past two days, and his tone has become more and more determined, and he said: "Even if you get me, it won't be the key evidence for the abolition of the prince." ”

Yang Zhao said: "I don't care about this. ”

"The right minister wants to abolish the prince, I can do it, Uncle Guo should send me to see him, and make a great contribution." Xue Bai said frankly: "I didn't say that I took the initiative to vote, I just said that I was searched by Uncle Guo." ”

"Oh?" Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "As you said, you could have gone directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for a meeting, why did you give me this credit?" ”

"If in order to save my life, there are many people in Chang'an City who can protect me and the Du family, such as Yang Guifei, such as General Gao, and such as the three ladies." Xue Bai said: "But those who can share wealth and nobility are only Uncle Guo." ”

Yang Zhao was shocked, and then laughed to hide his gaffe, and said, "Haha, how can I make you look up?" ”

Xue Bai sighed slightly, and said: "I have the ambition to move forward, and once bet the treasure on the East Palace, but unfortunately he didn't know what to do, so he ordered me to be buried alive." Looking at Chang'an City, only Uncle Guo can give me another chance to display my ambitions. ”

"Buried alive? But you're still alive? ”

"I crawled out."

"Really?"

Xue Bai smiled slightly.

Yang Zhao has always been arrogant and flattering, seeing that he is always calm and calm, he couldn't help believing a little in his heart, and asked: "How to get rich together?" ”

At this point, his face has changed several times, and his eyes have a look of expectation at this time.

Xue Bai took the wine glass, but refused to drink it, and said slowly: "When there is no queen in the dynasty, the one with the highest rank in the harem is the concubine." Abolish the crown prince and just wait for the concubine to give birth to the prince, isn't it the great wealth of the uncle? ”

Yang Zhao's eyes lit up.

Xue Bai's words were something he didn't dare to think about since he entered Chang'an, which made people's brains hot.

"Good!"

He couldn't help but cheer, raised his glass and smiled: "You and I are familiar at first sight, and we should be a big white!" ”

Xue Bai touched a glass with him, took a sip, and his eyes became more and more calm.

It was only after listening to Wei Jian's case that he had a premonition that the prince might not be reliable, so he asked Du Yan about Yang Guozhong to see if he could borrow his power, but he didn't understand the situation when he first arrived, so he decided to believe her, the person next to the prince. Of course, he himself has not yet adapted to the rules of this Datang power field.

Next, he did what he judged, and it was simple.

Since the crown prince Li Heng wanted to bury him alive, he stepped on Li Heng and climbed out of this pit.

~~

The sound of the pipa is like flowing water.

It wasn't until the two men in the audience who were chatting happily got up to leave that Wang Lianlian stopped twisting his fingers slowly, looked at the moonlight outside the window and sighed softly.

She sat alone for a while, and then the false mother came over and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why do you want to help that little man?" ”

"He gave me a poem, and I introduced him to someone, and it was just a gesture."

"What's the use of that poem, but it's not easy to take it out and sing it?" The fake mother shook her head and said in disgust: "I don't know who I cut it from anyone's long poem." ”

Wang Lianlian was silent for a long time, and sighed to himself: "But it has been written into my heart." ”

"Huh? Don't you lie too much, do you really think that you are the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family? I don't want to be practical, and I start to talk about my heart and lungs. Let me tell you, it's important to save more money as soon as possible. ”

"How little money is made?" Wang Pian smiled proudly, pointed to the three empty cars in the courtyard that were originally carrying belongings, and said, "Wuling is young and entangled, and I don't know how many red silk songs are there. The silver grate of the head is shattered, and the blood-colored skirt is stained with wine. ”

Speaking of money, the fake mother turned her anger into joy, clapped her hands and smiled: "Speaking of which, Yang joined the army and brought red silk, really just listened to you play a song?" I'll have to go some more. ”

Shao'er packed up her things and came out, just as she saw the fake mother twisting her fat waist and turning the corridor, and said with a smile: "The lady got the red silk tonight, got a good poem, and sent a spit pot, so happy, right?" ”

"What are you happy about? It's another day old. ”

Wang Pian shook his head self-deprecatingly and continued to recite the poem.

"This year's laughter will return to next year, the autumn moon and spring breeze and so on. The younger brother went to join the army and the aunt died, and the twilight went to the past. ”

"Huh?"

Shao'er was surprised and asked, "Why are there the last four sentences?" Shao'er thought there were only the first four sentences. ”

"I'll keep reading it." Wang Pian said in a low voice: "This poem pities me, and the world praises me and belittles me, but it pities me." ”

"So, is Xue Xiaolangzi a great talent or a big liar?"

"Whether it's a genius or a liar, he can stir up trouble with those big people, but he is not an ordinary person. If he doesn't die this time, he will do great things...... If he doesn't die this time, I just want to listen to his whole poem. ”

Wang Lian said that he would no longer pay attention to these mundane things, bow his head, and pluck the strings of the pipa.

On a snowy night, in the quiet courtyard, there is the sound of silk and bamboo.

The hinge plucks the strings three or two times, and there is love before the tune.

In this song, the courtesan sitting alone played it for herself, her lips opened and closed slightly, first silent, and then gradually there was a song, but unfortunately there were only fragments.

"This year's laughter will be next year, and the autumn moon and spring breeze will be leisure......"
