Chapter 2 Inviting the Moon Tower
Invite Moon Tower is located on the shore of Yufeng Lake, which is the largest green building in Feng'an City.
The twelve oirans in the building are all beautiful and beautiful, but the charm is different, the poems and songs, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all proficient.
Feng'an is prosperous, the number of people who come and go from the south to the north every day is countless, the merchants who come to admire it, and the literati are endless.
At the expense of spending a lot of money, there are countless people who talk with the popular Oiran at night.
Because of this, it has also made Invite Moon Tower an out-and-out gold cave in Feng'an City.
It is the Yuan Xi Festival, the carved beams and painted buildings, the magnificent Invite Moon Building has long been crowded by all kinds of carriages in front of the water, shouts, noisy sounds one after another, endlessly.
Suddenly, there was a neigh, and two black high-headed horses pulled a luxury carriage with a large fruit red sandalwood to separate the crowd and stop in front of the Invitation Moon Tower.
The coachman, who was over sixty years old, pulled out the carriage, and a young man in a blue brocade robe slowly stepped out of the carriage.
The naughty boy who came from nowhere on one side lit a firecracker and threw it in this direction.
The brocade-robed boy had just stepped down from the car, but he heard a loud noise, and before he could be surprised, the two black horses were frightened and neighed, and stepped forward with both feet.
The carriage, which had been parked, was pulled again, and the brocade-robed boy stumbled and was about to fall forward. At this moment, the old coachman inadvertently stretched out his hand and stopped in front of the two black horses.
Although the black horse neighed non-stop, but it was difficult to take another half a step by the old man, this move seemed to be an understatement, but with full strength, but the old man's movements were too casual, and no one noticed in the chaotic crowd.
The young man stabilized his body and jumped out of the carriage, and a master and a servant walked towards the Inviting Moon Tower.
The hall is full of warblers' voices and swallows, there is a huge cloud-topped sandalwood beam in the high building, and a huge bright moon pearl hangs on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining brightly, like a bright moon. The floor is paved with white jade and inlaid with gold beads. It is surrounded by crystal jade and pearl curtains.
The two were unmoved, but just ordered a bustard girl who greeted them and asked for a private room.
In the room, the brocade-robed boy looked out the window with great interest, and said to himself: "It is said that Feng'an is prosperous, and it is true when I first saw it today, even compared with the capital." Gu Bo, I don't live in an inn all over the street, why do we live in this green building?"
The coachman named Gu Bo looked outside the door of the room and whispered: "The agreed place in Madame's secret letter is in this Yueyue Building, and the old slave only does what he is told, but the more he is in this busy city, the less likely it is to attract attention. Madame has always been cautious, and there is naturally a reason for Madame's actions. ”
The brocade-robed boy said with a curious look on his face, "What kind of person is my mother?"
Gu Bo bowed down and said: "I'm just a subordinate, it's inconvenient to say these words, the young master will know when he sees his wife." ”
The brocade-robed boy sighed lightly, stopped asking, and said to himself: "Since it is a little earlier than the appointed time, let's play here for two days." I was also a little hungry after a long journey, so I asked for some wine and food to fill my stomach first. ”
As he spoke, a beautiful money bag was already in his hand, and the brocade-robed boy took out a gold ingot and put it aside, and took out a round bead the size of a grape in the money bag and played with it.
Seeing this, Gu Bo's expression tightened, and he hurriedly reminded: "Young Master, this Hidden Yuan Bead is a family heirloom treasure of your Ye family, you must be careful to collect it, and don't lose it accidentally." ”
The boy in the brocade robe took the bead in front of his eyes and looked at it again, and said with a little disdain: "A small bead, what kind of treasure can it be, it has been passed down in the family for several generations, but no one can understand the mystery of it, in my opinion, it is no different from ordinary stones, what can be of great use." ”
Seeing this, Gu Bo was a little helpless, and said softly: "The more secret treasures that pass through the sky, the more they will hide endless mysteries, I believe that with the young master's extraordinary talent, if time comes to see through the mysteries, it is better to keep them properly." ”
The brocade robe boy was suspicious, and put the beads back in the bag, Gu Bo looked outside and said: "I'll go out to see if there is any news of the connection, the young master will rest in the room after the meal, don't go out and walk around at will, it's better to be cautious at this special moment." ”
The brocade robe boy responded, and said disapprerovitously: "I have now passed the seventh grade of foundation building, and it is difficult for this ordinary man who is full of markets to pose any threat to me." ”
Gu Bo shook his head and said with a sigh: "The young master's immortal root is already true, so naturally there is no need to put ordinary people in his eyes, but if he really meets some people with cultivation, the young master's current realm is still a little low." ”
The brocade robe boy was unconvinced in his heart, and snorted lightly and said, "I know, where are there so many cultivators in this world, Gu Bo, you are too worried." ”
Lu Mingfei and Qu Xiaotian came all the way to the front of the Invitation Moon Tower, glanced towards the lively hall, showed a lingering look, and did not intend to enter, but walked towards the back door.
When he turned his head, Qu Xiaotian saw the two black horses parked in front of the luxurious carriage at the door, and couldn't help but sigh in his mouth.
"These two horses have dark and shiny coats, they are rare and high-quality horses, there are few such handsome horses in Feng'an City, this carriage is afraid that the wealthy merchants of the north have come from afar. ”
Qu Xiaotian doesn't have too many hobbies in his life, but he has a soft spot for horses, and his eyesight is quite unique, and he can see at a glance that the two dark horses are extraordinary.
Lu Mingfei was afraid that Qu Xiaotian would not leave in front of the carriage, so he pulled him towards the back alley.
"When you become a general in the coming days, I will get you a horse that is a hundred times stronger than this to be a mount. ”
"I want the kind of person who has wings on his back and travels thousands of miles every day!"
The two of them talked and laughed and came to the back door of the Invitation Moon Building, compared with the vermilion lacquer gate and dazzling lights in front of the building, it was obviously much darker here, only a small door that was not too high, and the lights were lonely.
Lu Mingfei put his fingers in his mouth and learned a few bird calls, which were vivid.
After a while, the door was pushed open, and a young girl dressed as a maid came out on tiptoe, afraid of making some noise.
The girl was not tall, but her appearance was delicate, and her round cheeks were like ripe apples.
Seeing the two, the girl showed a happy look on her face, and carefully took out a bag of pastries wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms and put it in Lu Mingfei's hand.
"These are the leftovers of a guest yesterday, all made by the master of Jindepu, I secretly looked at it on the side, and it didn't move, so I quietly put it away. ”
Lu Mingfei put the pastry in his mouth and nodded again and again. Then he took out the remaining buns from his arms, two of them were given to Qu Xiaotian, and the other was stuffed into the girl's hand.
"Eat it, the buns made by Aunt Xu. What is Jindepu, when I have the silver, take Sister Xing'er to Jinge Lou for a meal, no, we eat in Jinge Lou every day. ”
The most famous restaurant in Feng'an City, the cost of a few months for ordinary people on the top of a dish, only high-ranking officials and nobles can get involved.
Jin Ge Lou is opposite the Invitation Moon Tower, a short distance away, but in the girl's heart, it seems to have ascended to the sky.
Hearing Lu Mingfei's promise, the girl still smiled sweetly from the bottom of her heart.
The three of them squatted in the corner talking and laughing, and the buns and pastries in their hands became more and more delicious, which should not be much worse than the dishes in Jingelou.
The girl's name is Yao Xing'er, and the two of them grew up in an alley, her father was sick in his early years and put down a sum of money on credit, after his death, Yao Xing'er was sold by the creditor to the Yuelou as a maid.
Yao Xing'er suddenly saw the robe on Lu Mingfei's body, took a closer look at it and said: "Mingfei, where did you get the clothes, they are really beautiful, they all say that people rely on clothes, in my opinion, you are much more pleasing to the eye than those sons and brothers in the Qinglou." ”
Lu Mingfei smiled proudly, and without explanation, he casually took out the five-color stone bracelet from his arms and put it on Yao Xing'er's wrist.
Yao Xing'er was surprised, and she kept watching it over and over again, and couldn't put it down.
"This thing is not valuable, Sister Xing'er likes it, and when I marry Sister Xing'er in the future, I will find a craftsman to make you a pair of fine silver jewelry." ”
Yao Xing'er looked ashamed and whispered: "Sister's background is not good, I will be a maid for you in the future, and when that day comes, Ming Fei will definitely be able to marry a daughter of a famous nobleman." ”
"I'm not a rare daughter, but it's just a golden jade. ”
Yao Xing'er didn't talk to Lu Mingfei anymore, looked at the sky and said: "It's not early, there will be more guests here, I have to hurry back and get busy, I will be found out by the bustard's mother in a moment, but I want to beat people." ”
Lu Mingfei felt sad for a while, and secretly made money sooner or later to help Yao Xing'er redeem herself.
Yao Xing'er turned around and was about to leave, when Lu Ming suddenly chased after her for two steps and called her again.
"I happened to wear this outfit today, Sister Xing'er might as well take me in to see the world. ”
Yao Xing'er hesitated for a while, and couldn't help Lu Mingfei grinding hard bubbles in her ears.
"It is said that this Yueyue Tower is magnificent, and it is comparable to the palace, and I have never seen it, Sister Xing'er, don't worry, I will go in and take a few looks, and then slip out." ”
After hesitating for a long time, Yao Xing'er finally nodded and said, "Okay, but you can't stay long when you go in, don't cause anything." ”
