Volume 1: The Immortal Chapter 36: The Red Dress
This beautiful woman is the shopkeeper of the Phoenix Pavilion, surnamed Feng, her husband died early, people call her the Phoenix woman, there are no children and no daughters under her knees, there is only one brother who is an official in the capital, named Feng Yuming, she had the honor to follow her brother to the General's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings a few years ago.
She remembers very well that when she and her brother just walked into the General's Mansion, they saw more than 20 maids and servants standing in the astonishingly large courtyard of the General's Mansion, accompanied by a white-robed boy playing a game called "throwing sandbags" Under the leadership of the porter, the two of them walked cautiously past the gang, and they didn't expect that just as they were about to pass, a small cloth bag flew out of the crowd with a whoosh, and smashed on Feng Yuming's head impartially, Feng Yuming almost fell, and what she didn't expect was that the elder brother, who had always been as fierce as fire and dared to quarrel with Lord Shangshu at the court meeting, was unprecedentedly angry, but picked up the thing and respectfully sent it back to the young man.
When they arrived at the meeting room of the General's Mansion, the two people who could only leave after the New Year's greetings were given a high look by the general among the many high-ranking officials who paid New Year's greetings, and said something alone.
Afterwards, she asked about the identity of the young man, and the brother with a spring breeze on his face said that the young man was the little prince of the General's Mansion, and sternly explained to her that she must not mention anything about this young man to outsiders.
Just beat her to death, she didn't expect to see this son outside the Phoenix Pavilion, remembering her brother's respectful appearance to this young man, cold sweat oozed from the woman's forehead, and she felt uneasy in her heart, and she didn't know if the two wastes at the door had offended this uncle before, so she secretly glanced at the heroic man, made up her mind, and turned around to change the two who had no eyesight.
The two little servants caught a glimpse of the big shopkeeper who had always regarded himself very highly, and he was standing under the platform tremblingly, not daring to move, knowing that the city lord saw the shopkeeper also had to politely call a phoenix woman, and couldn't help but be confused.
"I don't know that the little boy is coming, the little woman is not welcome, and I hope that the son will atone for her sins!" the woman said in a low voice, for fear that the etiquette would not be thoughtful, and her body would be lowered again and again.
Li Xuanji looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and said with a smile: "Madame doesn't have to be polite, my son missed a while a while ago, and he has not apologized to Lord Langzhong, since I saw Madame today, you and you will say the same." β
The woman's hanging heart finally fell back into her stomach, and she said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare, when you come back, my brother privately praised your son's strength, saying that you are worthy of being the son of a general, and you are brave." β
Li Xuanji laughed and walked into the Phoenix Pavilion under the diligent leadership of the beautiful woman.
As soon as you enter the gate, you will see that there is a beautifully decorated stage in the middle, several women in thin shirts dancing to the music, many tables and stools are placed around the stage, and all kinds of spectators are sitting.
The restaurant was born out of this beautiful city, naturally with some shadows of the green building, the second floor is a circle of guest rooms, there are scattered glamorous women looking down by the railing, there are also bent over the Tsing Yi small house, life is just like this.
The attic backyard is the real gold cave, a quiet courtyard according to A, B, C, and D, around a small lake neatly arranged, the most inferior T-shaped courtyard, a day also needs five hundred taels of silver, not to mention a beautiful woman to accompany you, the cost can be up to the sky.
The Feng woman has been to the general's mansion like a small city, and her heart is transparent, and without waiting for her to speak, she arranged a few people in a few first-class courtyards closest to the lake, as for the money, the little boy dares to give it, and she will dare to accept it!
Li Xuanji and Zhao Wan'er each took Xiaoqing to live in a courtyard, while Yu Kunlun and the others lived in a slightly worse but larger courtyard.
After waving off the woman, Li Xuanji turned around and walked into this courtyard called "Qifeng Garden", saying that it was a courtyard, in fact, it was larger than the whole home of ordinary people, and entering the door was a flower garden covering a wide area, with small flowers of various colors delicate and gorgeous, and the fragrance hit people, and a pavilion was surrounded in the middle of the flower garden, which was beautiful and elegant.
Li Xuanji slowly walked into the pavilion, sat on a futon, his mood was a little heavy, since he killed the snake demon that night, he always felt that there was an inexplicable yin qi around his body, and even the spirit on his body was a little sluggish, he also tried to use his true qi all over his body, but with little effect, and now the whole person is a little groggy and listless, this is something he has never encountered since he cultivated, to be honest, he was a little panicked, and he regretted his recklessness very much, but now, he has to find a solution as soon as possible, and he can't help but think of the monk he met in the mountainsγ
A sound of footsteps interrupted his musings.
It turned out that it was the well-arranged Yu Kunlun who strode in.
Li Xuanji beckoned, asked him to walk into the pavilion and sit down, and said: "Brother Yu, tomorrow you take a few brothers to replenish the supplies, and then go to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for a few good horses, by the way, I will inquire where the Qinglu Courtyard of Dafeng Mountain is, we may have to go first." β
Looking at the little boy whose face was getting paler and paler, Yu Kunlun naturally knew that the matter was serious, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, son, you have a good rest, and the last general will go and let people bring some food first." β
As soon as Yu Kunlun left on the front foot, Zhao Wan'er, who was dressed in red, appeared at the gate of the courtyard with a sword, and saw the beautiful scenery in Qifeng Garden, walked to the pavilion with envy on her face, and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother Xuanji, Wan'er also wants to live here, but it's not that the yard is beautiful, it's really that the slave family is worried about Brother Xuanji's body, and wants to take care of you nearby." β
Li Xuanji didn't take this stubble, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Miss Wan'er came to Fengyang City for the first time, my son has heard of it a long time ago, in addition to the Qinglou in the city, this Fengyang rouge is also a must, there are rumors that the ladies in the palace are all favored by this rouge, are you sure not to take a look?"
Zhao Wan'er was stunned when she heard this, and said with some suspicion: "Really, why haven't I heard of it, it can't be that Brother Xuanji is annoying Wan'er and wants to break the slave family!"
Li Xuanji said with a sincere face: "How could I lie to you, this is all what my mother told me, and said that if you fancy any woman in the future, you will send a box of rouge from Fengyang City, and you can make your wish come true." β
Seeing what he said, Zhao Wan'er believed it in her heart, and said with a smile: "Hehe, then tomorrow Brother Xuanji, you will have a good rest, and I will go out with Xiaoqing for a walk." β
Li Xuanji reminded: "Tomorrow Wan'er will go out, remember to bring two Xuanjia battalion armor soldiers to accompany you, in this Fengyang City, with a girl's appearance, you will be mistaken for a popular oiran of which family, and then meet a disciple or something, tsk..."
Zhao Wan'er rolled her eyes playfully, grinned, "Got it!" turned around and walked out of the pavilion.
The moon quietly hung on the branches, and the entire Qifeng Garden illuminated by the dim moonlight was hazy, and the wild flowers on the ground were swaying with the breeze, like a fairyland on earth.
"Brother Xuanji. β
Li Xuanji looked up.
Under the moonlight, Zhao Wan'er was dressed in red, standing slim in the middle of the flower garden, bowing her head slightly, her hands on the side of the willow waist, her legs bent, Yingying tried a thousand blessings, and she was charming.
Li Xuanji was a little puzzled, and Zhao Wan'er in the flower garden moved again.
I saw that she maintained that posture, and the green jade hand slowly put on the hilt of the red long sword, and her body spun ethereally, accompanied by the crisp clanging sound of the tassel at the hilt, the long sword floated out of the sheath.
Red clothes under the moon, green silk like grinding, born like immortals.
Sometimes she raises her wrist and long sword like Duanyue, and sometimes she lowers her eyebrows and her head is full of green silk like flowing water.
The slender waist twisted with the long sword in his hand, and there were countless styles.
A pair of small embroidered shoes, disappearing from the red dress, want to refuse and welcome.
I don't know if it's the sword light or the moonlight, reflecting her beautiful face, beautiful and slightly frowned, apricot eyes slightly narrowed, and the corners of her mouth smiling, seductive.
The woman in red danced like an elf in the flower garden, and countless delicate petals gathered and dispersed with her graceful posture.
Li Xuanji in the pavilion opened his mouth wide and looked sluggish.
......
Early the next morning, Zhao Wan'er took Xiaoqing to call two guards and went shopping happily.
After Yu Kunlun came to say hello, he also hurried out of the Phoenix Pavilion.
Li Xuanji sat alone in the pavilion, looking at the flowers outside the pavilion in a daze, Zhao Wan'er's figure lingered in his mind, thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bring a smile, it was so beautiful.
Occasionally, I saw Mrs. Feng standing outside the courtyard gate at a loss, frowned and asked, "Madame has something to do?" β
When the woman heard this, she trotted to the side of the pavilion and gave a salute, and said anxiously: "Childe, didn't a young man bump into you yesterday, your guard beat him, that person is actually Zhang Gongzi of the City Lord's Mansion, who is a small belly and chicken intestines, and I heard someone say early in the morning that Zhang Gongzi, who was beaten, brought a large group of family members and was looking for your guard all over the city." β
Li Xuanji's face was slightly cold, Zhao Wan'er just went out in the morning, I hope I don't meet this person.
ββββββββββββββββ
There is a street in Fengyang City, called Liuli Street, and the whole street is lined with shops selling rouge, both high and low, and it is full of dazzling.
Early in the morning, the streets were full of people, mostly brightly dressed women, and some bachelors crowded around to take the opportunity to rub oil.
Zhao Wan'er happily walked in the crowd, pulling Xiaoqing to look here and there, very excited, the two guards who followed behind her looked serious, carrying one hundred and twenty heart eyes, once she found that a man wanted to approach, she threw it with a sharp look.
Most people will choose to retreat when they see these two fierce and vicious subordinates, but there are still many men who follow quietly, and it may not be necessary to say how bad they are, mainly because the woman in red is too beautiful and moving, and it is also profitable to take a second look.
The two women were nervous, oblivious to the eager gazes of the people around them, and only had all kinds of exquisite rouge gouache in their eyes.
An hour later, Zhao Wan'er and Xiaoqing walked out of a shop, holding all kinds of small boxes in their arms, even the two Chinese characters of the Xuanjia Camp were not spared, and they were more or less holding a few boxes in their hands, full of helplessness.
"Okay, let's go back?" Zhao Wan'er smiled sweetly at the three of them and said.
Without waiting for Xiaoqing to speak, the two men nodded again and again like chickens pecking rice, thinking: Mother, this guy is more tired than fighting, if there is anything to say next time, he will have to hide.
"Yo~ Isn't this the little lady in red, it's so hard for my son to find it!"
At the end of Liuli Street, a young man in a green shirt walked over surrounded by a large group of family members.
