Volume 2 Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons Chapter 67 The Night is Silent
The night fell, but the firelight on the streets of Tai'an reflected the sky as bright as day. On the criss-cross long street, people come and go, traffic is busy, and the banquets of restaurants and teahouses from all over the country are placed from the inner hall to the door, and the guests come and go, in an endless stream. Under the floating light, it seems to be a scene of singing and dancing, and the scenery of national peace and security.
Even in a capital city like Tai'an, such a lively scene is rare, and the last time it seems to be during the Lantern Festival.
In the Mingyue Building, Mei Sanniang just took the stage to sing a little song, and gave a gift and withdrew, which attracted full applause and applause.
Tonight, Mingyue Lou has relaxed the requirements, on this auspicious day, it is also a pleaser, ordinary people do not need to pay a few money, they can sit at the wine table outside the hall on the first floor, and enjoy the performance of the highest Qinglou woman in the imperial city.
Therefore, this huge hall is full of people from the inside to the outside, almost all of them are fresh faces who have never visited Mingyue Tower before, and those who came late moved a stool and forcibly squeezed into the flowing water seat outside the hall, which caused a group of people to look at them angrily, but they were helpless. Therefore, there are many people, and the good wine and food are swept away in an instant as soon as they come up, although there are some regrets, but they are not here to eat.
Most of these people have never seen the number one beauty on the pink list of the Jingshi and Yunxian Pavilion, Oiran Mei Sanniang, and they squeezed their scalps just to see her demeanor.
Of course, Mingyuelou raised the curtain on the round platform, although there was Mei Sanniang's performance, but these people could only watch a shadow from a distance and listen to the sound, but they were also very satisfied.
Su Zhan felt that tonight was a great opportunity.
He is the son of Su Hong, the Taishou of Los Angeles, and the nephew of Su Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the family environment is not bad, and he himself is more competitive, ranking first in the palace examination, winning the first place, and shining on the lintel.
His Majesty praised him and enrolled him in the Hanlin Academy, not to mention that he had the opportunity to participate in court politics on weekdays, and the job of drafting the edict for His Majesty also fell on him, which can be described as young and promising.
Su Zhan is young and promising, full of poetry and books, and looks pretty good, he was already a man of the hour in Los Angeles when he was young, and he traveled in the name of a talented man, in the entire Sizhou, except for those who were the world's literary heroes, almost no one in the younger generation could compete with him, so it was inevitable that he was a little arrogant.
Su Zhan lived in his uncle Su Sheng's house and made friends with many rich sons, including the Yang family and the Yuwen family. On weekdays, if I have nothing to do, I will follow to Mingyue Tower to walk around and drink some wine. Although he wants to pat these people's ass on the surface, he still looks down on Yu Wenhong and them in his bones, and always feels that these people are not as good as himself.
But one thing that he admires is that Yu Wenhong is a wide range of people, and everyone knows him, even the Oiran of Mingyue Tower can be invited to accompany him.
Su Zhan has seen a lot of dusty women, and he once secretly laughed at the Rausch Pink List, and the number one beauty in the world is purely a joke. He believes that although women are beautiful, no one has yet reached the point of really seducing the soul of a man, and those are just exaggerated techniques of literati drama.
Or rather, it's either the stupidity of those men.
With curiosity and anticipation, Su Zhan finally met Mei Sanniang under the recommendation of Yu Wenhong, and finally had to admit that he was a fool.
So he racked his brains to describe all the ups and downs for Mei Sanniang, joys and sorrows, and tried to let the drama of talented and beautiful women be staged on him, but in the end, he only won Mei Sanniang to smile lightly and say "The son is high".
Su Zhan clenched his fists, and then he understood that those rumors were true, and Mei Sanniang already had someone in her heart, and that person was called Mo Jun.
It's an eyesore.
One day, at the wine table, Yu Wenhong looked slightly drunk, praised Mei Sanniang fiercely, and then said half-truthfully, "How good it would be if there was no general in this world", Su Zhan actually nodded with a ghostly gesture with the help of wine.
Then he noticed Mei Sanniang's expression, and laughed dryly, as if angry.
Su Zhan panicked, he decided to redeem his mistakes, and tonight was the best chance.
The sons of the ministers of the central government, including Yu Wenhong, all went to the birthday banquet, and his uncle also went, but he was not qualified to do so. In other words, none of the sons and gentlemen who have the ability to see Mei Sanniang tonight are there! This is the time for the two of them to be alone.
When Su Zhan saw Mei Sanniang stepping down, his heart moved, he quickened his pace, and hurried to the inner courtyard.
The guards of the courtyard recognized him and did not stop him, Su Zhan crossed the side rooms and walked towards the innermost independent courtyard, brewing words in his heart.
Then he saw a figure that seemed to flash in front of him, like a ghost, so frightened that he stumbled and almost fell. But he quickly reacted.
"Thief, the kind of flower picking?" Su Zhan rubbed his hands, and said in his heart that a hero's chance to save the beauty had come, so he tiptoed in, only to see two blurred figures standing in the courtyard.
Su Zhan fixed his eyes and saw that one of them was Mei Sanniang who haunted him, and the other ......
"Sikong Wang?" Su Zhan was stunned, he also knew this person.
In the courtyard, Mei Sanniang was watching the beautiful scenery alone, and suddenly felt a strong wind around her, and then her wrist turned, her aura surged, and she was stunned when she raised her hand.
"Boy Sikong?"
"Listen, since this son has the ability to sneak into this Mingyue Tower, it will be easy to do anything to you, you better be honest. Sikong Wang watched Mei Sanniang retract her hand with a playful smile on her face.
"What advice does Childe have?" Mei Sanniang's face was a little ugly, she didn't know why Sikong Wang appeared here.
"You know the rumors in town that have been bad for that guy lately, right?"
Mei Sanniang thought about it, and the "guy" in his mouth seemed to be Mo Jun, so she nodded lightly.
"You like that guy, don't you?" asked Sikong Wang again.
Mei Sanniang's face was slightly red, she took a few steps back, opened her mouth, and although she didn't know why Sikong Wang asked this, she still nodded shyly.
"I don't know what your relationship is with the Yuwen family, but this son advises you, it's better not to do some things again. Otherwise, what would that guy think if he found out?"
"What do you mean by this?" Mei Sanniang's face turned pale.
Sikong Wang snorted and said coldly: "You are a smart person, since you are mixed with Yu Wenhong, you should know the situation in the DPRK at this moment." If those rumors are true, the Yuwen family and that guy must be enemies, do you think they will let Mo Jun go when the time comes?"
"The slave family doesn't understand well. Mei Sanniang forced her composure and squeezed out a smiling face.
Seeing this, Sikong Wang didn't say anything more, waved his hand and turned to leave, leaving a word before leaving.
"That's all this for my son, since you like that guy, you should know what to do about something, otherwise it's ......"
"Otherwise, what?" Mei Sanniang laughed miserably, she didn't understand that some things were just wishful thinking.
Su Zhan's eyes flickered not far away, and he didn't hear what the two were saying, but he knew that Sikong Wang had a good relationship with Mo Jun, and that was enough.
However, he still had something to do, so he pretended that nothing had happened and went back to the building to walk around a few times, and then returned to Mei Sanniang's yard again, shouting at the top of his voice.
"Sanniang~"
