Volume 1 Lonely Clouds Chapter 28 Hu Shang of the Western Regions
As the largest Fengyue place in Fallen Leaf City, Zuihualou has its own rules and is extremely strict.
Compared with the general Qinglou, if the "appreciators" of the Zuihualou want to get the favor of the lady, they not only rely on being able to smash silver, but also have to abide by the rules.
According to the different identities of each lady, the drunken flower building will arrange different repertoire accordingly, especially before those outstanding ladies take the stage, they will do enough gimmicks for two days in advance, and the opening of the lady of the day must also be bright and unseen repertoire, one is to satisfy the curiosity of the guest officers, and the other is to reduce the number of times those who can be called "famous" ladies on stage, in the words of the flower lady in the building, this is called "Tibetan pearl".
This is different from the Qinglou Goulan in other states in the Southern Dynasties, and even some go against the grain, as the big housekeeper Hua Mama often admonishes everyone that "peonies are common to destroy colors, and the clouds recall that they can be white", most of the men in this world like to like the new and hate the old, put the good-looking peony in front of him, see it every day, see it every day, see it every day, and there will always be a day when you are tired of seeing it, giving people the feeling that it is always not as good as a day, only those brittle glass and the clouds that will drift away at any time on the edge of the sky are their favorites, after all, it is not common" "True national color" will make people think about it day and night, and will make people know how to cherish it.
The repertoire of Zuihualou is generally divided into two kinds: "please tea" and "please wine", which is not a common gesture of invitation for our general hospitality, but the unique rules of this remote town in Funiuzhou in the southern dynasty.
"Tea" is vegetarian tea, and "wine" is meat wine.
Talking about the world, singing poems and discussing the past and the present, inviting "bitter tea", drinking is a cleansing annoyance, and it is a pure mountain and flowing water.
Yingying Yanyan, under the moon before the flower, once in the spring night, please "meat wine", drink the brew of forgetting worries, and it is Shen Yuniang, who is pure and clean.
The woman who played the gong hou solo on the entertainment stage before was the former, and at the end of the song, among the people who "fished in front of the corridor", who could "bait in the golden hook" all depends on their own skills and preferences, as for whether they can "eliminate the heat in their hearts" in the end, they know!
When Miao Shudie turned backstage, among the jade girls dancing in front of the stage, someone found that the situation was wrong.
Hua Mama will go backstage "Mingling" after the full-time maid sings, but when she went backstage today, she didn't see the familiar figure, and when she asked the jade lady around her, she learned that the dead girl had just stepped off the stage and walked out of the corridor in a hurry.
Miao Shudie, as the most favored lady of the Drunken Flower Building, acquiesces in some things as the big housekeeper, and her usual food and clothing are the best, otherwise how do you think she can be alone in the small courtyard, as for why there is only one little maid serving by her side, then you have to ask herself.
These are all rewards acquiesced by the owner, not to mention anything else, just that one-handed piano bending skill, the entire Fallen Leaf City is just her.
The bent qin, also called Konghou, is not common in the Southern Dynasties, and is a unique musical instrument from Huyangzhou in the western region of Beiting.
Two years ago, a group of merchants came to the Fallen Leaf City of Funiu Island, and several of the attendants who followed the caravan were blonde and blue-eyed Hu people, led by a woman with a veil, although the woman herself did not look like a Hu person, but if a clear-eyed person paid close attention, it was probably not difficult to see the origin of the entire caravan.
The caravan stayed in the city for half a month, during which when facing the government to patrol the streets, the instructions and directions were very complete, and the only one in the caravan who could point to the lame Southern Dynasty 'guide' said that they came mainly to buy "lychees", which in their country is a good thing that only the royal family and nobles can enjoy, it is a fairy-like delicacy, they have been doing this business for many years, they come every year, and they are very good people.
In previous years, they only stopped at the Golden Toad Continent in the Southern Dynasty, and they would generally leave for home after they were easy to sell their goods and buy what they wanted, after all, the shelf life of this thing was too short, and if they couldn't rush back in time, they might have to lose their old money on this trip.
As for why this time it was not as usual, the situation was not enough for outsiders, but I only knew that the leading woman had stayed in Zuihualou for six or seven days in this small half a month. Afterwards, I heard the rumors of brothers who had been in and out of the Drunken Flower Building during that time, and they would often hear a clear and ethereal music coming from the back hall, faintly not really, but it was certain that it was a wonderful sound that they had never heard before.
After the caravan was gone, the sound never came again. Then, it was the lady of the Drunken Flower Building who took the stage with an unknown musical instrument in her arms, and became famous with a song, that is, at that time, the Drunken Flower Building had a regular and was a servant.
Konghou is a common musical instrument in Huyangzhou, the Western Regions, there are three kinds of lying Konghou, vertical Konghou, and phoenix-headed Konghou, and it is rumored that Fengshou Konghou is common in the nobles of the Western Regions.
If the thing in Miao Niangzi's arms is really the thing that the caravan is stranded in, it is unknown why there can be such a shape of gonghou in the small caravan.
Hua Mama treats capable and money-making ladies more politely and tolerantly, that is in normal times, she can't get used to this kind of obvious demolition today, and Miao Shudie's dead girl is stubborn, and when some vassal and elegant sons like to look for her, they always give her a silent refusal.
What's even more annoying is that when she talks hard afterwards and persuades her with good intentions, she can always find a big reason to prevaricate, but the words she uses are still what she often admonishes them, as for the situation of pretending to be sick and having a headache and brain fever, there are often cases.
No, after listening to what the jade lady said, Mama Hua took the medical maid arranged by the owner to come to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion in a hurry.
As for what happened after that, everyone knows about it.
After helping the woman lying on the small collapse to cover the brocade quilt, Mama Hua was a little helpless, it seems that most of the "tea" after today's "fishing in front of the corridor" is yellow.
Although Xu Gongzi is powerful and powerful in Fallen Leaf City, he is a decent person who can "ask for tea", and he wants to save face.
It's just a pity that this golden sign of mine is here, why is it that my body is suffering from the wind chill at this time.
Mama Hua has no choice, and she doesn't want to stay long, after all, on the second floor of the front hall, there are still things waiting to be explained by herself.
The woman turned her head to look at the maid Cuiyu on the side and said, "Cui, girl, wait a while, you go to the Zangfeng Pavilion to get some medicine for typhoid fever, remember to take care of your lady, if something goes wrong, take care of your skin." ”
The little girl was submissive, and nodded her head again and again.
Seeing her nodding, Mama Hua looked around, a little dissatisfied, there was still a teacup on the small table in front of the window, and the table was also full of water stains.
Jade comprehended, and hurriedly took the embroidered handkerchief on the copper plate in the corner of the wall, and cleaned up the table.
Mama Hua looked around again, and after seeing nothing else unusual, she said to the medical maid on the other side: "Don't follow me, go to the Zangfeng Pavilion to prepare the medicine first, and when the little girl passes over later, you remember to give it to her." ”
The maid bent down and nodded.
When Mama Hua saw this, she comforted Miao Shudi who was lying on the small collapse with kind words, and then led the medical maid to leave together.
The little maid followed behind, and when she saw the two of them go out of the gate of the warm pavilion, she quickly closed the door after disappearing by the mountain stone pool at the other end of the corridor.
Jade rolled up the rust curtain again, and after entering, she glanced at her own lady, Miao Shudi stretched out a hand, and found a small porcelain vase that was a finger high under the small collapse where she was lying.
The little maid poured a cup of tea again, and sat down on the brocade stool next to the young lady's embroidery.
Miao Shudi poured out a small white pill from the small porcelain bottle and swallowed the tea in the maid's hand.
After about half a cup of tea, the woman's face gradually became rosy and her lips improved.
The little maid Jade breathed a long sigh of relief.
Miao Shudi sat up from the small collapse and sighed softly: "I didn't expect that the prescription given by the Hu people in the Western Regions back then really worked. ”
"Miss, you scared me to death, I saw that teacup fell to the ground, I really thought something had happened to you? At that time, Mama Hua was here again, I didn't dare to ask more, if you hadn't quietly winked at me, I would have lied to you." ”
The little maid Cuiyu was still a little scared when she thought about it at this time, and said to her own young lady sitting in front of her: "Miss, don't use this medicine in the future, it's scary, even the maid sister brought by Mama Hua has been deceived." ”
At that time, in addition to the crooked piano given to her own lady, the woman from the Western Regions Hu Shang also gave a prescription by the way, saying that it was the only good thing in the world, and it was developed by a medicine refining master in the Western Regions.
Of course, her own lady also set up a music sheet and a yaoqin.
Miao Shudi looked at her little girl and smiled and said, "It's okay, let's act according to the original plan, I'm afraid Mama Hua won't come again today, if other girls come, you just send it away." ”
The little maid Jade nodded slightly.
On the back alley of the Zuihualou, a man in a gray wide-sleeved robe sneaked out and walked in the direction of the Fuke Building in the east of the city.
