Chapter Twenty-Seven: Going to the Flower House Alone

Early the next morning, Li Qingshan was still meditating and cultivating Taixu Taixuangong, when there was a knock on the door. He thought to himself that this brutal way of knocking on the door, who else could it be, and opened the door.

Sure enough, Shangguan Yinghua stood at the door, with an expressionless face, unable to see joy, anger and sorrow. Shen Mingyue stood behind with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Li Qingshan coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said hello: "Two beautiful girls, morning." ”

Shen Mingyue snorted and couldn't hold back her laughter. Shangguan Yinghua rolled his eyes and said angrily: "My mouth is suddenly so sweet? Hurry up and have breakfast, let's go to Qinglin Hualou again, and then go back to Langhuan Academy. ”

Li Qingshan glanced at Shangguan Yinghua, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Qinglin Hualou, I am the only one who goes, you don't want to go." ”

Shangguan Yinghua said lightly: "Tell me, why can't Sister Shen and I go?"

Li Qingshan said: "People have long seen through that the two of you are girls, and it is no good to go, but to add chaos out of thin air." ”

Shangguan Yinghua's slender eyebrows were upside down, and his volume was more than twice as high, and he said, "What's wrong with the girl's family? Okay, Li Qingshan, who was only promised in Taohua County before, was bold when he came to Qinglin County, and dared to make his own decisions. Who allowed you to do this? Come to me, Qinglin County, Meizi County, the King of the Mountain will have to listen to me!"

As she spoke, she suddenly paused, looked Li Qingshan up and down, and leaned closer and said, "If you want to go alone, is it possible that you really want to drink flower wine." Did you fall in love with that pretty Oiran girl?"

Li Qingshan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "What are you shouting about, how can there be such a thing." Sister Yue, didn't you make it clear to this eldest lady?"

Shen Mingyue grinned beside her: "Oh, I patronized and chatted with the eldest lady about the moon and flowers last night, and forgot to say that Qinglin Hualou is here." ”

Li Qingshan thought to himself, you did this on purpose, how could you cheat your brother like this. So he hurriedly told Shangguan Yinghua again about the fact that he had to go to Qinglin Hualou to investigate.

Shangguan Yinghua frowned, as if he was thinking of a plan. Sure enough, she said, "The people from the Demon Realm are here? This is a big deal, I have to tell my father quickly." ”

Li Qingshan said: "Yes, yes, you and Mingyue go to report to Mr. Shangguan, and I will go to Qinglin Hualou alone." ”

Shangguan Yinghua's eyes were bright, he snorted coldly, and said, "You want to leave us and go to the Qinglou alone, right? Someone like you can find out something. I think so, let Baili Haoran arrange it, and insert a few people into the Qinglin Flower Building to investigate carefully. ”

Shen Mingyue echoed and said, "Yes, yes, that's appropriate." ”

Li Qingshan just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but when the words came to his mouth, he retracted it, thinking to himself when did I Li Qingshan give you the impression that he was dumbfounded, and he was also a disciple of the Dao Sage and a student under the Throne of the Wen Sage.

Shangguan Mingyue saw that he didn't speak, and said coldly: "Why don't you keep quiet, do you agree, or are you very unhappy?"

Li Qingshan came back to his senses and said, "No matter what, I still have to go to Qinglin Flower Building." Rest assured, I will be careful. If you're worried, just listen to the tea house next to you, and be ready to respond. ”

Shangguan Yinghua tilted his head and asked, "Is this really the case?"

Li Qingshan said firmly: "Yes." ”

The air froze for a moment, and it was unusually quiet. After a while, Shangguan Yinghua took out a small fine silver pipe and handed it to Li Qingshan: "You insist on going, then take this signal secret weapon, and if something happens, you will release it into the air, and there will be people from Chongwen Palace in Qinglin County to respond." ”

Li Qingshan nodded and took the tube. He turned his head and went back to the room, changed into a white Confucian robe, brought a paper fan, and learned the style of Shangguan Jinglun, pacing lightly, shaking the fan.

Shangguan Yinghua looked at it in his eyes and said "people look like dogs".

Li Qingshan knew that she had few good things to say about herself, and she didn't care. However, Shen Mingyue giggled, leaned close to Shangguan Yinghua's ear, and whispered, "Yinghua, why don't you always look down on Brother Qingshan?"

Shangguan Yinghua's face flushed and he stopped making a sound.

Li Qingshan walked to the Qingqing Forest Flower Building alone. As soon as he stepped into the Qinglin Flower Building, the guy who ran the hall had sharp eyes, and he had already seen him, knowing that this scholar was the one who even gave face to the Oiran girl, so he hurriedly went up to greet him and said, "Childe came so early today, do you want to drink, or do you want to find the Oiran girl?"

Li Qingshan took out a piece of silver in his arms and threw it over, and said with a smile: "Brother Lao is tired to help me pass the word, and I will say that yesterday's son came to the appointment, please make it convenient for the Oiran lady." ”

The young man took the silver, weighed it, and said with a smile: "Okay, son, you go to the hall to have a cup of tea, and I will go inside to report." With that, he trotted and went inside.

Li Qingshan shook the paper fan, looked at the four roads, inspected the decoration layout in the Qinglou, and thought that this Qinglin Flower Building was really magnificent, the inside was magnificent, there were all kinds of famous paintings hanging on the wall, all kinds of decorations and furniture were extremely luxurious, and even extravagant.

After a while, I saw Li Huahua leaning on the railing and said softly: "The son is really trustworthy, and he came early today." Come upstairs. ”

Li Qingshan nodded, put away the fan, and walked to the fifth floor. Originally, this Qinglin Flower Building was a tower-type structure, and the higher it went, the fewer the number of rooms, and there was only a circular corridor, six first-class rooms and a small hall on the fifth floor. The corridor can be leaning on the railing, overlooking the building, where people go in and out. The corridors are carpeted, and there are various pots on both sides, some of which are blooming at the moment, exuding a strong fragrance of flowers.

The attic was so quiet that it was apparently impossible for ordinary people to come up. The wings and small halls were closed, except for the east wing, which was half-hidden.

Li Qingshan walked straight to the wing room to the east, knocked on the door a few times, and heard a lazy voice say, "Come in." ”

Li Qingshan pushed the door in, only to see Li Huahua wearing a purple Luo shirt and long skirt, leaning against the window with her cheeks back, looking at the scenery outside the window and contemplating. When Li Qingshan approached, she didn't look back, and said, "Son, please sit down." Anyway, this Qinglin Flower Building has been open for nearly a month, and Childe is the first man to come here!"

Li Qingshan didn't sit down, and also walked to the window. Qinglin Flower Building is only five floors, although it is not high, it is also a rare high-rise building in Qinglin County, you can overlook Qinglin County from the window, and the view is extremely broad. He looked at Li Huahua's line of sight and saw that the street was already lively, with people coming and going, including giants and gentry, pawn hawkers, literati scholars, Langzhong Xiangshi, local ruffians and villains, all kinds of people, etc., all kinds of people.

Li Qingshan smelled a faint fragrance, which was obviously emanating from Li Huahua's body. took a closer look at Li Huahua, and saw that she was wearing a long purple dress, her long hair was wrapped at random, and she was loosened with a jade hairpin. The side face is delicate and the eyelashes are slender.

Li Huahua also seemed to know that Li Qingshan was looking at her, her eyes blinked a few times, her eyelashes moved, and she lightly opened her lips and said, "Childe is a scholar, don't you know what it means to be indecent and disrespectful?"

Li Qingshan said: "Isn't it even more rude to turn a blind eye to the beauty in front of her?"

Li Huahua withdrew her hand and giggled, "Childe is really good at talking." You don't look like a smooth-tempered person, and you can't talk at all. ”

Li Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "The girl is not like a person from the Qinglou, and she is not also an Oiran. ”

A hint of weirdness flashed in Li Huahua's eyes, and she smiled and didn't answer.

Li Qingshan continued: "Miss Li has been watching in front of the window for so long, what are you looking at?"

Li Huahua walked back to the table and sat down, and said with a smile: "Just take a look at it." Why does Childe care about what I'm watching, aren't you here to recite poetry, listen to music, and play chess?"

"Miss Li's appearance is not like a casual look. Is it to see the scenery and think of people, or is it homesick?"

"Homesick, how do you know I'm not a local?"

"The girl's accent really doesn't look like a person from Dongzhou. ”

"Childe is wrong. The slave family is indeed from Dongzhou, and their ancestors and parents are all from Dongzhou. It's just that the slave family grew up in other places since childhood, and this is the first time to return to Dongzhou. When I came back this time, I was the only one left in the slave family, alas. Li Huahua suddenly looked sad, obviously speaking falsely.

"In this way, Xiaosheng is a little similar to some girls. I was picked up on the edge of Dongzhou, and I didn't have parents since I was a child, and I didn't even know if my ancestral home was Dongzhou. ”

Li Huahua straightened her face, the sadness on her face dissipated, and she said to Li Qingshan with a smile: "Childe, we won't talk about these sad things." Isn't the son here today just to be happy? The slave family can't do it, so I'll play a song for you?"

Li Qingshan said: "I would like to listen to the girl's arrangement." With that, he took out a whole stack of silver tickets and put them on the table.

Li Huahua smiled, didn't look at it, didn't put it away, said "You come with me", got up and walked out.

Li Qingshan got up and followed her. I saw her hired and walked towards the west wing. When I arrived at the west wing, there was a staircase that went straight down to the backyard. When I arrived in the backyard, I walked through the zigzag corridor, passed two or three rockeries, and arrived at a water pavilion, where there was a wing. All kinds of musical instruments in the room are complete, and the fragrance is fragrant. Wine and food were already on the table.

Li Huahua pointed to the banquet and said with a smile: "Son, sit down, and listen to the slave family sing a song while drinking." ”

Li Qingshan sat down, but he looked embarrassed because he didn't know how to drink. He poured a cup of tea with a red face, sat with tea in his hand and thought, "I really have to drink when I go back." This is the first time you drink, who are you going to drink?" Shangguan Yinghua's appearance flashed in his mind, and he was so frightened that he came back to his senses.

As soon as Li Huahua sat down, she stroked the strings and sang in a low voice:

"Do you know that you are wandering away from the heavens and rivers, and the wind and frost have gone through all the hardships?"

"Winter goes to spring, the moon is still cold, and there are thousands of peaks and mountains. ”

"The spring scenery in Shenzhou should be rotten, and the wind and sand in Hudi are still in the sky. ”

"The sand is like snow, and the dust is like smoke. ”

"I can't hear the sound of the oriole, and I don't see the face of the hibiscus. ”

"I often ask when I will return, and I think about my declining face. ”

......

Li Qingshan tasted good tea, smelled the strange fragrance, listened to the music, looked at the girl in front of him, suddenly his eyes were blurred, and he seemed to have arrived in a trance to a place outside the world, and he was very tired, and he fell asleep and rolled on the ground......

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Li Huahua stood up, with a hint of mockery in her eyes, and walked towards Li Qingshan.
