The bustard's mother beckoned a little girl and instructed her to lead Li Xuandu and the others to the flower hall.

Zhou Shuning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she had never been to such a place, she had only seen some from the script, and thought that as soon as she came in, there would be many women to pull people to their rooms, and then she would do that shameful thing. Now, it doesn't seem like that. In all fairness, it's a nice place, elegant, well-furnished, and not so gaudy.

Li Xuandu seemed to see through her thoughts, and explained: "This courtyard is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the most advanced kind covers a vast area, the interior is elegant, there are more than 100 hired servants, maidservants, cooks, musicians and thugs, etc., most of the women in the building are beautiful, there is no shortage of Oiran characters, and there are more Qing people who are proficient in the rhythm of literature and ink. Compared with the first class, the second class is not much different in the elegant grade, and even surpasses, but the scale is inferior, mostly in the form of private houses or painting boats, many famous prostitutes do not want to be governed by the old bustard, so they are used to set up their own doors, usually just to receive regular customers. As for the last class, it is not in the stream, most of them are not singing, accompanying wine, playing chess, playing tea and other means of accompanying customers, and it is directly a business that opens the door, so it is called a half-closed door, which is a place where scholars disdain to go, and is mostly patronized by ordinary people. ”

Zhou Shuning knew this for the first time, and said: "That is, the more upscale the place, the cleaner it is?"

It's not all right, but that's pretty much what it means. Li Xuandu nodded, and added: "Of course, the more expensive it is." ”

Zhou Shuning whispered: "Brother is so familiar, he must have been here a lot, the next time I see Sister Qin, I must tell her." ”

Li Xuandu coughed lightly: "This kind of thing, there is no need to say it." ”

Zhou Shuning smiled slyly and lowered her voice: "Didn't my brother let me have a good relationship with Sister Qin? As long as I kill my relatives in righteousness and tell Sister Qin about this, she will definitely treat me as my own sister." Brother, you know Sister Qin, you said yes?"

Li Xuandu said: "What do you know, how can your brother and I be the kind of people who are afraid of guilt?"

Zhou Shuning said with a smile: "For other things, my brother may not be afraid of Miss Qin, but in this kind of thing, my brother must be afraid." ”

While talking, the two came to the flower hall, where the layout is a bit similar to the inn lobby, with many round tables and round stools, at this time there are already many people in the flower hall, all of them are young scholars in silk robes, in the autumn weather, still shaking the folding fan in their hands. A low platform was built in the flower hall, on which there was a plump woman with a peugeot appearance, dressed in a long dress with gold tattoos, and was leisurely stroking the piano, and the sound of the piano was melodious. is the so-called familiar with 300 poems, and if you can't make poems, you can chant,

Li Xuandu has been with Qin Su for a long time, and he can also distinguish some good and bad in music, for these women who don't sell their bodies, after all, it is the craft of eating, but this Qingqi person's attainments in music and rhythm are not bad.

Li Xuandu and Zhou Shuning chose a place to sit down and waited for the next "Flying Flower Swallow Warbler Dance".

At this moment, a handsome boy sitting in the front row got up and walked towards the two of them abruptly.

I saw that this prince was wearing a small black gauze crown, wearing a splendid white robe with a hundred butterflies and flowers, and a jade belt around his waist. Look at the appearance of this son, his face is like a full moon, his face is like a spring flower, his eyebrows are like a knife, and his eyes are full of autumn waves. Although he is angry and sometimes seems to laugh, that is, he is scornful and affectionate, his body is slender, and he is more beautiful than jade, he is really a handsome beauty, and he wants to suppress the spring color of this building.

The boy came to a short distance from the two, held the closed nine-level small folding fan with both hands, and bowed: "It's polite." ”

Li Xuandu stared at him for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "Palace girl?"

The young man unfolded the folding fan in his hand with a "snap", and after carrying it with one hand, he held the folding fan in one hand, patted his abdomen lightly, and chuckled: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Zifu." ”

This young man is a palace official.

The former Xuannu Sect Xuan Shengji, and now the Right Venerable of the Wudao Sect.

The palace official smiled: "It is the good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and the season of falling flowers is the king." Farewell to the White Emperor City, Brother Zifu, it's been a long time. ”

Li Xuandu asked, "I wonder how the palace girl knows my whereabouts?"

The palace official closed the folding fan, tapped his smooth forehead, and said: "After the little sister heard that the Purple Mansion was going to take over as the suzerain of the Taiping Sect, she expected that the Purple Mansion would go to Luzhou in the near future, from Wuzhou to Luzhou, there are two roads, one is through Jingzhou, and the other is through Jiangzhou. Now it seems that the little sister has really been guarded. Now there are my little sister's eyes and ears inside and outside Ping'an County, when the Xuannu Sect and his party entered the city, the little sister knew about it for the first time, and it was a little uncertain before, but now that Brother Zifu has revealed his true face, this can be completely confirmed. ”

Speaking of this, the palace official turned his head to look at Zhou Shuning: "This is Shuning's sister, I haven't seen her for a long time." ”

Zhou Shuning is like a great enemy.

The palace official shook the folded folding fan with a pendant in his hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Shuning, don't be nervous, now I am no longer a member of the Maiden Sect, but a person from the Daoless Sect." ”

Zhou Shuning hesitated for a moment and saluted: "I've seen the palace girl." ”

The palace official waved his hand, signaling that Zhou Shuning did not need to be polite.

Zhou Shuning had seen the tragedy of the Long Family Dart Bureau at the beginning, and she always had a fear of this ruthless woman, so she stopped speaking at this time.

Li Xuandu opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what the palace girl has to teach here?"

At this time, there was a burst of piano sound in the flower hall, and the voice of several people was small, and it was not afraid of being discovered, but for the sake of insurance, the palace official still waved the folding fan in his hand and set up a soundproof prohibition, so he said: "There are both private and official matters." ”

Li Xuandu asked, "What about private affairs? What about official affairs?"

The palace official unfolded the folding fan in his hand, covered his mouth, and chuckled: "It's a private matter, it's that the little sister wants to meet with the Zifu and tell her parting feelings." ”

Li Xuandu was indifferent to the palace official's remarks, and said indifferently: "I've seen it now, so what about business?"

The palace official didn't care about Li Xuandu's incomprehensible feelings, and said, "On official business, it was the Holy Monarch who asked me to come to see Brother Zifu." ”

"Holy Monarch Taiyun?" Li Xuandu was slightly stunned.

Among the four immortal immortals in the world, Li Xuandu thought that he had a deep or shallow connection with three of them, Li Daoxu was his mentor, and the great heavenly master Zhang Jingxiu strongly supported him, and even had a period of forgetfulness with the earth master Xu Wugui, but he had no intersection with the Holy Monarch Taiyun, and he had never even seen the Taiyun, at this time, the palace official sent the palace official to see him, what was the intention?

Just when Li Xuandu was thinking about it a few times, he heard the palace official continue: "Brother Zifu must be thinking that the little sister has nothing to do and does not go to the Three Treasures Palace, in fact, the little sister also wants to visit Brother Zifu often when she has nothing to do, but she is afraid that Brother Zifu will refuse to be thousands of miles away. ”

Li Xuandu coughed lightly: "Or is it serious, I don't know what the Holy Monarch has to say?"

"I can't talk about teaching. The palace official whispered: "I just want to have a good relationship with Brother Zifu." ”

Li Xuandu said: "This flatters me. ”

The palace official quipped: "Brother Zifu is humble. How could it be common for the three old immortals of the Great Heavenly Master, the Great Sword Immortal, and the Earth Master to have blue eyes combined? Even if there was a time to look away, it was impossible for the three Immortal Earth Immortals to look away together. When the Holy Monarch heard that the Great Heavenly Master was courting Brother Zifu, he moved his mind. Besides, Zifu is about to take the position of the sect master of the Taiping Sect, and in the past hundred years, it is the youngest sect master except for Yan Feiqing, who can underestimate it?"

Speaking of this, the palace official pulled up his sleeves slightly, revealing a string of silver bells on his wrist, took out a purple sandalwood box from it, and put it on the table in front of Li Xuandu: "This is the meeting gift that the Holy Monarch specially asked me to bring, and it can also be regarded as a congratulatory gift from the Purple Mansion to the Sect Master of the Taiping Sect. ”
