Chapter 245: Shen Ji Grain Travel
"The two of them are joking, it's okay! Everyone don't care about her, let's sit down first." β
Shen Xiaotian had to appease a few words first, and beckoned everyone to sit down. While instructing to prepare for the serving, he quietly withdrew and walked towards the inconspicuous ear room.
Shen Xiaotian helped Shen Xiaolin, who had a blue nose and swollen face, up from the ground, patted the dust on his body for him, and persuaded bitterly: "You and I are brothers and brothers-in-law, if you don't change this bad habit of beating your wife, what face do I have to go to see my father-in-law during the New Year's holidays?"
Shen Li flattened his mouth when he heard this: "Joining someone else's daughter to be beaten and angry at your house is just a matter of face for you?"
"Shut up!"
Shen Xiaotian glared at her: "When my sister beat my brother, do you still have a reason?......?" You have to go to the ancestral hall with me to copy the book!"
Before Shen Li could speak, he heard Shen Xiaolin crying and said, "She is going too, then I won't go!"
"It's okay, you copy yours, she copies hers, one yard to one yard! Don't worry, she won't dare to beat you again. β
- I believe you have ghosts!
No matter how stupid Shen Xiaolin is, he can't believe his nonsense anymore, and his head is shaking so much that he is about to dislocate.
Shen Xiaotian looked a little embarrassed when he saw this, so he gave in and said, "Then, if you can forgive her, it's okay if she doesn't go." β
"Well, forget it!"
Anyway, Shen Xiaolin didn't want to stay in the same room with Shen Li after he was killed.
Shen Xiaotian glared at Shen Li: "It stands to reason that you should also punish the family motto today...... Thank you for your third brother!"
"Thank you, third brother. β
Shen Li repeated mechanically.
Shen Xiaotian nodded, pushed open the door, and helped Shen Xiaolin, who was limping, to take two steps out, glaring at the third young master outside the window: "Still looking?! Why don't you go and prepare pen and ink quickly! Send me to the ancestral hall!"
Shen Xiaoshan said 'oh' and went to the next room to get it.
Shen Xiaolin suddenly realized that this would be a very cruel punishment: The Shen family's family motto is more than 3,000 words! If you copy it ten times, it will be dawn!
"Big brother, the family motto is ...... Don't copy it, do you?"
"You still have to copy it, otherwise you won't be impressed enough, and the reflection will not be thorough enough!"
Shen Xiaotian said with a straight face: "You know, other people's daughters marry into our family, but they don't want you to scold her! If you really don't like her, even if you reconcile well, the two families won't hurt the harmonyββ eh, I suddenly remembered that last time Zhang Butcher asked me to tell his daughter, that girl has big shoulders and a round waist, and she looks better than Qingyi to withstand beatings, or ......."
"Don't...... Brother, I really know it's wrong. β
Shen Li looked at the backs of the two of them, and couldn't help but admire: Well, this sentence does sound much more sincere than the last sentence 'Grandma I know it's wrong'!
Sure enough, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, amazing.
ββ
The night is getting thicker, the Feixian Tower is brightly lit, and the singing and dancing are leveling.
During the day, this area is not the most prosperous part of the capital, but at night, it seems to be the center of the whole city.
Yan Shuling and Hu Qi, one black and one white, stood at the gate of Feixian Tower. Although it was her second time, she was still shocked by the bustling traffic in front of her.
"Are you sure I really want to go in like this?" Fox Qi muttered to a low voice as he covered his face with a fan.
Yan Shuling looked at his shy appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Is there any problem?"
Fox Qi looked left and right vigilantly to make sure that no one was paying attention to him, and then approached her again and said, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to investigate if you become a fox?"
"Not really, did you? Didn't you get in as a fox yesterday?
"Nope. β
"So, why sneak around?"
"It's not a sneaky question!"
Hu Qi said solemnly: "Do you think, a handsome and dashing young man like me, and he has a generous hand, and when he goes in later, there will definitely be many beautiful young ladies surrounding himββ are you sure you won't be angry?"
Yan Shuling shook her head.
Hu Qi pointed to her dress again, and said, "Also, it's already strange for you to come to this kind of place at night when you are a girl's house! Isn't it even more strange that you still have to wear a Taoist robe and carry a sword on your back?...... Hey, are you listening to me!
Yan Shuling didn't bother to listen to his ramblings, and calmly raised her legs and walked into the door. Fox Qi was helpless, so he had to follow quickly, but he was still as sneaky as a thief.
In fact, the hall on the first floor was so crowded that no one noticed them at all.
In the middle of the spacious courtyard, the huge three-headed and six-armed flying statue is hung with colorful palace lanterns, and on the lotus seat at the foot of the statue, there are three lotus-shaped stages, and several exotic dancers are shaking the golden bells on their bodies to the beat of the drum, and their graceful posture is exquisitely displayed under the tulle, attracting everyone's attention.
It is indeed rare to see this kind of enthusiastic and unrestrained dance in the Central Plains, and the beautiful carcass is almost completely exposed to the bright lights, * exuding a seductive charm like a snake, and even Fox Qi can't help but look at it twice.
Yan Shuling walked through the crowd and saw that Hu Qi was a little distracted, so he lowered his face and poked him with his elbow. Only then did Hu Qi turn his face and smile:
"Not as good as you. β
"Do I need such superficial compliments?"
"If you're angry, you need it. β
Yan Shuling snorted and didn't speak. She moved upstairs to herself. Fox Qi followed upside down, and from time to time he didn't forget to look back at the dancer twice.
On the arch facing the staircase on the second floor hangs a plaque: "Hairpin Terrace".
The ordinary individual guests of Feixian Building are all in the tea house on the first floor, while the distinguished guests who are particular about the point and have status will first go up to the hairpin platform on the second floor, choose their favorite girl to accompany them, and then eat tea and listen to music in a relatively quiet private room.
There are nine big red pillars on the hairpin flower platform, and there are nine gold medals of hairpin flowers hanging on them, and the girl's name is written: Liuli, non-smoke, feather white, nine tones, Liangchen, Qingxian, Shengge, Lingxi, Linglong.
The rules here are: ten taels of gold and a saffron, the guests put the flowers into the jade pot under the name brand, and there will be a maidservant to present a flower stick, on which the room number is written, and the selected girl will go to the room in turn to perform alone for the guests.
At this time, the hairpin platform was crowded, and many people held saffron but had not yet thought about who to vote for, so they stood by the fence or on the tea house on the second floor, looking at the stage in the center of the hall - all the girls who hung up the sign on the hairpin platform would take turns to perform there in public first, for people to judge.
Feixian Lou claims to be a dance and music team, and does not do the kind of skin and meat business in Fireworks Willow Lane. Although the name of the dancing girl singer deliberately avoids the words of the wind and dust woman's glamorous and kitsch, but this lively scene like the voting oiran, as well as the rich and noble sons and broad young people in the room, the most talked about is which girl has a better appearance, and where does it seem to be a place to listen to music seriously?
Yan Shuling was reluctant to be in the company of these people. She summoned the maidservant who was holding a bouquet of flowers and asked, "Do you have anyone here who is good at Yaoqin?"
The maid nodded and pointed to one of the gold medals: "Yaotai Fairy 'Lingxi' is exactly." β
- Yaotai Fairy?
Yan Shuling listened, and couldn't help sneering in her heart: This world really responds to the sentence 'If people lack something, the more they love to show off', a woman in the Fengyue Field is still a man-eating monster, and now she dares to call herself a 'Yaotai Fairy'?
It's just a lot of slots.
Yan Shuling smiled slightly: "Then, it's just her." β
Yan Shuling took out a gold ingot very happily, and the maid took it with both hands, bowed her knees and thanked her, threw a red flower into the jade basin of the 'Lingxi' for her, and took a flower stick and presented it:
"Please move upstairs, the second room on the right hand side of the fourth floor. β
Yan Shuling looked down carefully, and the flower sign read: "Tianzi Qi Number".
"Fox Seven, let's ......"
- Human?
As soon as Yan Shuling turned around, he realized that the fox cub had long since disappeared. When I looked into the crowd, I saw that he was really looking downstairs with his neck crossed.
It's really a colored fox.
When Yan Shuling thought about whether to kick him* or the thigh, Hu Qi seemed to be aware of it, and when he turned around and saw her staring at him with a sinking face, he immediately sneered: "Have you chosen well?"
"What, I went shopping all night yesterday and haven't seen enough?"
Hu Qi said with a regretful face: "Alas, yesterday I patronized and drilled under people's skirts, where can I care about looking at other ...... Hey, don't you get angry?"
Yan Shuling ignored him and turned to go upstairs.
Seeing that she was annoyed, Hu Qi felt a little proud in his heart, and chased after her with a smile.
The fourth floor is the highest floor, and all rooms are divided separately. The 'elegant room' is really much quieter than the bottom.
The room is luxuriously furnished, divided into two rooms, inside and outside, separated by a rouge curtain. In the middle of the outer room, there is a table of eight immortals, two chairs, two cups of tea on the table are still steaming, and four plates of dried fruit snacks;
Whether it is the calligraphy and paintings on the wall or the antiques on the Bogu shelf, the selection and placement are very exquisite, and it does not look like a Fengyue place at all, but more like the study of literati.
Yan Shuling took a closer look, but did not find anything unusual, but felt that the owner had good taste.
Hu Qi picked up the teacup and sniffed it, praised 'good fragrance', sniffed it with * heart, nodded and put it back in place: "Clean." β
Yan Shuling sat down in the main seat and said lightly: "A place where you don't even show the slightest demonic aura is disdainful of such a low-level method as poisoning. β
Hu Qi nodded: "It's obviously strange everywhere, but I can't tell what's weird." β
"If it's a fox, it will always show its tail. β
"That's a misunderstanding!"
Fox Qi corrected solemnly: "Ordinary fox immortals can hide their tails very well after cultivating for about three hundred years! I really don't understand why there is such prejudice in the world! It's not difficult to hide the tail at all, okay?!"
In order to prove his words, he deliberately stood up and walked around in front of her. The black robe is paired with a dark red corset, and the big red arrow sleeves are closed, and the solemn classic black and red match makes him even more heroic. It's just that such a bright red appeared on him, giving people the feeling that it was not enthusiastic and unrestrained, but rather angry.
Especially when he twists his waist.
Yan Shuling thought so in her heart, but her cold face was as cold as no waves: "If you catch a monster like you, you don't need me to make a second trip." β
Strike mercilessly.
Suddenly a little deflated, Fox Qi hung his head and sat back in place, and unexpectedly saw the flower sticks she casually put on the table, and said in surprise: "Huh?
Yan Shuling nodded, not knowing what to make a fuss about.
"You're like this, it's going to make me feel very shameless!"
Hu Qi patted the money bag behind him, and said angrily: "I came here with enough silver!
"Yesterday you paid, today I will pay, that's fair. β
"But there are some things that don't need to be fair at all...... In short, I'm not happy anymore. β
Fox Qi turned his face to the side angrily, and his eyes looked away.
Although he felt very naΓ―ve, Yan Shuling still took out his money bag and put it in front of him: "Okay, then you will pay for it." β
"Hey, does that make a difference?!"
Fox Qi turned her face dissatisfied, and took a look, it was actually a very delicate plain white satin money bag, dark black short spikes, simple black and white, and her intuition should have been made by herself. He couldn't help but reach out and take a closer look - wait, this amount, is it gold?
