Chapter VII Choice
When they arrived at Dedong Street, the carriage stopped, and several people walked towards the soft red building. It was almost night, and it was completely dark. Not only is the East Street bustling with people, but the lights are even more dazzling, and the illuminated sky is bright, making people feel that this is daytime. A few people walked in the middle of East Street, and due to the crowd, they could only walk slowly, but they also had the leisure to look at the surrounding lanterns. The last time I came to the soft red mansion, it was still daytime, but I didn't see the lights.
"Wow, Brother Cao, look, isn't that our Qingyang's Qingyu Shuanghua Lantern?" Zhang Zixi said to Cao Yun very happily, while Qianqian carefully pointed to a Chinese lantern not far away. Cao Yun looked at Zhang Zixi's fingers, and sure enough, he saw a lantern made of high-grade green jade. This green jade is only produced in the ancient mountains outside Qingyang, so this green jade double Chinese lamp is a special product of Qingyang and even Qingzhou. There are two women holding bottles and looking at the lamp carving, there are some phoenix unicorns around the woman, there are colorful deer next to the phoenix unicorn, the colorful deer is still pulling the ancient car and ship behind it, and it looks extremely gorgeous from afar.
However, this jade lantern is not the most attractive. This green jade double lantern is the same as the general Chinese lantern, it is hung somewhere. But not high above the soft red building, there are nine Chinese lanterns floating in the air, attracting everyone's attention. These nine lanterns are called the Royal Dragon Glass Lantern, and this lamp only needs to be urged by hot air to circulate and rotate and float into the air. The body of the lamp can have nine dragons, and under the light of the candlelight, it looks extraordinary.
"Big money, this soft red mansion is really rich. Pang Shiyuan looked at the lantern and sighed.
"According to rumors, this soft red mansion has a big backstage in Luoyang City, so it is not surprising that there is such a hand. Guo Xiao looked at the lantern and said, although his tone was extremely flat, Cao Yun still saw some shock in his expression. This world is not as well informed as the earth, so no matter how knowledgeable people are, they will always be shocked when they see something new.
As soon as a few people walked in front of the soft red building, several women who greeted the guests outside the soft red building greeted them with laughter.
"Eh, Childe, you're here, you want to die in the slave family. Several women said that they were going to Cao Yun and the others' arms at night, but Cao Yun still gently pushed them away, not letting these women touch their bodies.
Walking into the soft red building, the boss Li Yuying twisted his waist to greet him, his mature body kept showing off, and he was full of foxes, "Cao Gongzi, you can come, I thought you had left Luoyang, my family Ying'er misses Gongzi tightly." Li Yuying twisted her waist to Cao Yun and said.
"Boss Li, what song do you want to sing today, but don't sing something desolate. Cao Yun smiled at Li Yuying.
This Li Yuying chuckled flatteringly when she heard this, "Childe, don't worry, my Ying'er won't sing bleak songs." ”
At this time, the guests in the soft red building were full, and there were still many standing, and there were no more places for a long time, but Li Yuying beckoned a few small servants to place a few places for Cao Yun and the others, and the positions were placed on the left side of the stage. This place was originally reserved for dancers to get on and off the stage, but now a few chairs are placed to occupy a place, but they can still pass people. After arranging the position for Cao Yun and the others, Li Yuying went to the backyard to check how Ying'er was prepared.
Not long after Cao Yun and the others sat down, a few people walked over here, the first one was a young man, with a gloomy face, and he was still holding a folding fan in his hand and shaking it in this cold weather. Cao Yun saw that the young man was dressed in a rich robe, and there were several stout men behind him, and he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, I hope he is not a brainless person.
The young man walked two steps in front of Cao Yun and the others and stopped, and a big man in black clothes beside him strode in front of Cao Yun.
"My young master wants to change places with you, so you all get up. The black-clothed man seemed to have a good eye, and he saw at a glance that Cao Yun was the one in power in this group of people.
"Hmph, who is your young master, saying that he will change positions with us, will we change them?" Without waiting for Cao Yun to reply, Guo Xiao said coldly.
The black-clothed man glanced at Guo Xiao when he heard this, and was slightly surprised in his heart, this person in front of him did not have the spirit of a king, how could he dare to reply to me first? The black-clothed man glanced at Cao Yun again, and saw that Cao Yun had no intention of speaking, so he said to Guo Xiao: "It's just a change of position, my young master's position is there." The black-clothed queen said and pointed her hand, Cao Yun looked at the black-clothed man's fingers, and found that the position was a little backward. "I can also see it there, I advise you to change your position, so as not to cause the unhappiness of my young master, and it will be difficult for me to do it then. ”
"Why do you have to change places with us, there are so many people in front, why did your young master choose us?" Cao Yun said lightly.
The black-clothed man glanced at Cao Yun a few times when he heard this, "This son-in-law asked well, my young master is also a person who abides by the rules, whoever comes first in this soft red mansion has a place, and he will not grab anyone's occupancy, but a few of them are sitting here, and they are still added positions, obviously breaking the previous rules, since you have done it, then why can't my young master do it?" The black-clothed man shook his head and said, although he wanted to hide his domineering arrogance, but he still exuded it, which made Cao Yun feel slightly unhappy.
"The rules are set by people, and they will change from person to person, we are sitting here, naturally there is our reason, your young master should still listen to the music and watch the dance in place with peace of mind, why bother in vain." Cao Yun said lightly.
Looking at the vague grandeur of the black-clothed man, he knew that the son was afraid that he was not an ordinary child, but he was not afraid of things.
"Mo Wu, what else do you want to say to them, who dares not to change the position I want to do?" said the boy with a folding fan in his hand.
"You guys better change positions, my young master is not an ordinary person. The black-clothed man said coldly.
"Hmph, your young master is not an ordinary person, what does it matter to us, we won't change this position. At this time, Guo Xiao said loudly, and at the same time, the guests in the venue also noticed this and cast their eyes, and many people who recognized the folding fan boy were excited, thinking that they wanted to see the picture of the folding fan boy beating people.
"It's all scrapped for me. The folding fan boy snorted coldly, and as soon as the words fell, the black-clothed man and the rest of the big men rushed towards Cao Yun and the others.
"Give me a hard beating. Guo Xiao said coldly, and Xu Zhu rushed over. Gan Ning glanced at Cao Yun, Cao Yun nodded, and then rushed forward as well.
The black-clothed man and Xu Zhu were defeated by Xu Zhu after a few moves, and Gan Ning also eliminated the rest of the big men. Just when Xu Zhu was about to rush to knock down the folding fan boy, the folding fan boy snorted coldly, "I see which of you dares to beat me!"
Xu Zhu stopped when he heard this, and looked back at Guo Xiao, Guo Xiao looked at Cao Yun, and Cao Yun immediately stood up and walked towards the folding fan boy.
Cao Yun slowly walked in front of the folding fan boy, looked at the boy a few times, and arched his hand: "Dare to ask the son's name?"
The folding fan boy snorted coldly when he heard this, put away the folding fan in his hand, turned sideways and said: "You don't have to know who I am, I just want to ask you, do you change or not." ”
Cao Yun laughed when he heard this, only to feel that the person in front of him was really a little arrogant and cute, and he dared to ask for a change of position in such a situation. Although Cao Yun was funny in his heart, the thoughts in his mind kept turning, and he knew that the identity of the person in front of him was not simple. When I was on Earth, I often heard that many children of high-ranking officials relied on the power of their elders and were arrogant, and often such people could not use common sense to guess their IQ and temperament.
"Childe laughed, the location was arranged by the boss of this soft red mansion, and if you want to change it, you have to say it to Boss Li. Cao Yun showed weakness first, and saw how this folding fan boy would react.
The fan boy became angry when he heard this, "Today I changed my position, and several of my entourage were knocked to the ground by you, I have written down this hatred, and I will see how long you can still mix in Luoyang." ”
Cao Yun almost fainted when he heard this, the IQ of this person in front of him was really anxious, and he was left with one person and dared to say such big words, which really made Cao Yun wonder how this folding fan boy grew up.
Cao Yun was too lazy to talk to the person in front of him, turned around and walked back to his position and sat down, "Don't pay attention to that person, he wants to come over again, Gan Ning, you will directly carry me out of the soft red mansion." Cao Yun said coldly after sitting down.
"Yes, young master. As soon as Gan Ning finished speaking, the folding fan boy walked up, walked up to Cao Yun, and pointed at him with a paper fan, "You don't change positions, do you?"
Cao Yun saw the folding fan boy pointing at him with a fan, his face sank, and Gan Ning next to him observed his words, lifted the folding fan boy up, and walked out with it.
"You wait for me, none of you want to get out of Luoyang City. The folding fan boy who was carried by Gan Ning hissed and shouted, and the big men who were knocked to the ground also got up and walked out of the gang crookedly. During the venue, the guests were shocked when they saw that the folding fan boy was carried out by Gan Ning, and they all changed color, but they didn't expect that anyone would dare to do this. At this moment, Li Yuying led Ying'er from the backyard. Looking at the folding fan boy who was proposed by Gan Ning, Li Yuying's face sank.
"Gongzi Cao, did you have any conflict with that person and Gongzi just now?" Li Yuying walked up to Cao Yun and asked, her expression a little solemn.
Cao Yun saw that Li Yuying's expression was a little solemn, and Ying'er behind her also looked worried, and said: "Boss Li don't worry, I will take care of anything, I will stay with you for a long time today, and wait for the folding fan boy to bring someone here." ”
"Does Gongzi know what that person's surname is?" Li Yuying asked, her face without the solemnity she had before, just thinking about something.
"What's your surname?" Guo Xiao asked in a deep voice.
"The surname is He. ”
"He?" Cao Yun frowned when he heard this, and guessed something in an instant. This general's name is He Jin, it seems that he has an only son named He Majesty, could it be that the brainless fan boy just now is He Jin's only son He Majesty.
"Gongzi Cao, can you tell me what conflict happened to you?" asked Li Yuying.
"Just now that man asked us to switch places with him, and he spoke quite arrogantly, and he let his men move before we could talk about it, so we naturally had to fight back. But we didn't do anything to that boy, we just asked Gan Ning to throw him out of the gang. ”
Li Yuying lowered her head and fell silent when she heard this, all kinds of thoughts turned in her mind, and after a while, Li Yuying raised her head and said: "Gongzi Cao, I'm afraid that my soft red mansion has affected you, and I am dissatisfied with my son, my soft red mansion is the property of Dong Gong." We acted as a link between Dong Gong and some Jianghu sects, and also acted as a collection of intelligence and money for Dong Gong. In this Luoyang City, my soft red mansion has a great effect on Dong Gong, so we have always been a thorn in the side of General He, and from time to time he will send people to find trouble for us, and his son often comes to see Ying'er's performances, and often finds some faults, but this time I am tired to the son, I am really sorry. This Dong Gong in Li Yuying's mouth refers to Dong Zhuo.
"I'm afraid that Boss Li's words are a little untrue, so if General He is bent on finding trouble with your soft red mansion, you soft red mansion is only afraid that it won't be opened now." At this time, Zhang Zixi behind Cao Yun said lightly, and he didn't believe what Li Yuying said.
"This son laughed, why should I expire your term, this is meaningless, I can open the soft red mansion until now, naturally I have all my means. Li Yuying said with a smile, but she didn't care about Zhang Zixi's questioning of her.
"Boss Li, we have to pay too much attention to this, I guess it won't be long before that person will find someone to find the field, and then we will have to fight in your soft red mansion. Let's let Miss Ying'er sing a few songs, let's have a good time, lest we lose interest later. Cao Yun said.
"Okay," Li Yuying nodded when she heard this, "Ying'er, hurry up and get ready on stage, and sing the song you prepared to Cao Gongzi and them." ”
"Yes, Sister Ying. After speaking, Ying'er glanced at Cao Yun and the others, turned around and walked lightly onto the stage, plucked the strings, and began to sing. And Li Yuying quietly retreated.
Li Yuying walked to the backyard room, hurriedly wrote a letter, found a confidant, and asked her confidant to go to Dong's mansion with the letter.
Lai Ying'er plucked the strings and sang softly, and the guests were silent in an instant. The singing voice is light and tactful, which makes people feel very happy to listen to it. Cao Yun watched Lai Ying'er pluck the strings, her mouth kept opening, and then looked at the tender face, and for a while she felt that Lai Ying'er was a little simple and holy, not at all like a woman in the red dust.
Just when the guests were immersed in the song of the warbler, a large group of black-armored sergeants rushed towards the soft red building. The sergeants all wore black helmets that covered the entire skull, revealing only the soldier's eyes and two nostrils. There are still some strange texts on the helmet, and the armor around the body is carved with some foreign beast minions. From a distance, the soldiers looked like demons in the world.
At the same time, in Dong Mansion, Dong Zhuo was lying on the bed, two young women were tactfully ** under his crotch, and a half-naked woman walked in and presented Dong Zhuo with a letter. Dong Zhuo turned sideways to take the letter, and after the half-naked woman presented the letter, she went to Dong Zhuo's crotch to replace a young woman.
"Hmm"
Dong Zhuo snorted, threw the letter after reading it, squirmed suddenly, and squeezed a few times, and then the whole room fell silent, and the room was filled with a filthy atmosphere. After a long time, Dong Zhuo sat up, got dressed and walked out of the room with the help of the woman.
At this time, there was not a single star in the sky, and the moon was hidden, and the whole world was extremely dark. A gentle breeze blew, kicking up some dust on the earth.
In the soft red building, the lights are bright, and the warblers are singing and dancing, so lively. After Lai Ying'er sang a few songs, another woman in the soft red mansion walked onto the stage and danced with long sleeves. Just as Cao Yun was enjoying the dance, Li Yuying walked up to Cao Yun and whispered in Cao Yun's ear: "Young Master Cao, my Ying'er wants to invite you to the backyard and sing a few songs for Gongzi alone." ”
Cao Yun was slightly stunned when he heard this, then came back to his senses, and asked with a surprised face, "Is there such a good thing?"
"Childe come with me!" Li Yuying said with a foxy smile, the autumn water eyes with the peak of the chest trembling, it was really a color.
"It's not 、、、 good. Cao Yun said with some embarrassment.
"Brother Cao, this is just your distemper, don't tell me that you don't want to go. Guo Xiao on the side said enviously, the expression was envious and at the same time revealed that he was not in pain.
"Brother Cao, this is something that many people can't ask for. Zhang Zixi also said coaxingly. Cao Yun looked at Zhang Zixi's coaxing appearance, slightly surprised, because he guessed that Zhang Zixi might like the original Cao Yun. Now he was a little surprised to see Zhang Zixi behaving like this.
"Childe, let's go, Ying'er still has a performance arrangement later!" Li Yuyingyan said with a smile.
Cao Yun, Guo Xiao and the others smiled awkwardly, and then followed Li Yuying to the backyard of the soft red mansion. Walk through a small garden and go up to the second floor of the backyard. Li Yuying took Cao Yun to the door of the deepest part of the room on the second floor.
"Childe go in, Ying'er is waiting for you inside. Li Yuying said with a light smile.
"Okay, I'll go in, and my friends still hope that the boss will take care of them. ”
"Childe rest assured. After Li Yuying finished speaking, she turned around and left. Cao Yun took a slight breath, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The door slowly opened, but Ying'er's face was slightly red, and her eyebrows were ashamed, "Childe, please come in." "The voice is extremely low.
Cao Yun walked into the room with a slight smile and sat down on the stool next to the tea table. After Ying'er closed the door, she came over and poured Cao Yun a cup of tea.
"Does Childe have any favorite tunes?" Lai Ying'er asked softly, her eyes didn't dare to look directly at Cao Yun, her face was still light red, and her eyebrows moved.
"Feel free, I think I like to listen to all the songs sung by Miss Ying'er. Cao Yun said with a smile, and after speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a small sip of tea. The tea is fragrant, and the room is even more fragrant, I wonder if the woman in front of me seems to be fragrant?
Lai Ying'er smiled slightly when she heard this, moved a stool and sat not far from Cao Yun, adjusted the strings, and then raised her lips and sang. The sound is insignificant, and the strings of the piano are stringed.
Cao Yun heard Ying'er singing so closely, only to feel that this sound was really heavenly, how could there be such a sound in the world, and he had never heard such a moving sound on the earth before. The effect of listening in the hall of the soft red mansion is far less good than it is now, and it is not as direct as it is now, and it echoes in the thoughts.
After singing the song, Cao Yun had a lot of aftertaste.
"Miss Ying'er has a good voice and good piano skills, which is really evocative. Cao Yun said in praise.
Lai Ying'er heard the words and hugged the piano and lowered her head and smiled, her eyebrows were raised, some were happy, some were shy, and some were nostalgic.
Childe laughed. ”
"In today's world, Miss Ying'er is indeed the first in singing, and I really want to hear the girl's voice every day. Cao Yun continued to praise. Hearing this, Ying'er's eyebrows moved significantly, and her head rose slightly, looking a little excited.
"But this kind of singing can't be listened to at one time, it will be a lot less expected, I'll come back another day to listen to the Ying'er girl sing. Cao Yun said and stood up.
"Ah、、、" Lai Ying'er raised her head in surprise, "Childe will listen to the slave family sing again, this is just a song, don't you have to wait for me to sing on the stage when Childe goes out?" Lai Ying'er said with some grievances, I don't know why Cao Yun left.
"Miss Ying'er, that's different, my friends are still there, if I stay here for a long time, it will affect the time for the girl to perform on the stage, and secondly, I really can't enjoy it alone for too long, otherwise I will be teased by my very good friend. Cao Yun said with a smile.
Lai Ying'er stood up and looked at Cao Yun when she heard this, and when she heard Cao Yun's words, she suddenly felt that she was close to Cao Yun, and felt that he was a person who valued righteousness.
"What Childe said is that the slave family will sing music to Childe another day. Lai Ying'er Yan said with a smile, with a touch of shame on her face.
"Then Cao Yun thanks Miss Ying'er. Cao Yun said to Ying'er, and left after speaking, as soon as he opened the door, Ying'er stopped Cao Yun.
"Childe stays. Lai Ying'er hurriedly came to Cao Yun's side and handed him a carved purse. The purse is extremely beautiful. Lai Ying'er looked at Cao Yun expectantly, hoping that Cao Yun would be able to help.
Cao Yun looked at the purse handed by Lai Ying'er, looked at Lai Ying'er who was full of anticipation, and vaguely guessed why she sang for herself alone, then smiled and took the purse. The reason why Ying'er played the piano alone for Cao Yun was because she hoped that Cao Yun could redeem her, and in this world, there is a custom of the children of the world to redeem ** women to be maids. Now that the troubled times are coming, many ** women are paying attention to all kinds of things.
Cao Yun naturally guessed Lai Ying'er's intentions, if she could get such a beautiful maid with a good song, it would be a beautiful thing, but I am afraid it will cost a lot. But he also had some doubts, isn't there a backstage behind this soft red mansion, why choose me? Cao Yun didn't know that even if she was a ** woman, she also had infinite nostalgia for the future, and if she could make a choice, of course she had to choose what suited her heart.
Cao Yun returned to the building with a smile, and was about to walk towards Guo Xiao and the others when a team of black-armored soldiers rushed in. "Knock knock", the footsteps are extremely heavy and neat. The black-armored soldiers rushed into the soft red building, and all the guests in the venue were frightened, and hurriedly pushed down the wall, Guo Xiao and the others stood up and looked straight at the black-armored soldiers who rushed in. At this time, the black-armored soldiers who had been surrounded outside the Soft Red Mansion were all talking, and they didn't know who dared to send troops to surround the Soft Red Mansion.
After the black-armored soldiers rushed into the soft red mansion and dispersed from it, they drove with the same momentum as those big men before, and Cao Yun had already guessed that these black-armored soldiers were afraid that they were the people He Majesty had found. Sure enough. As soon as the black-armored soldiers dispersed, He Majesty walked up. At this time, He Majesty was not wearing a robe, but a bright black and gold armor, with three overlapping gluttonous tiger heads on each shoulder of the armor, and the fangs of the three tiger heads were carved at different levels.
He Majesty walked to the center of the building, pressed the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and looked around. The surrounding guests were extremely silent, and even the sound of exhalation was controlled, for fear of attracting attention.
