Chapter 50: Fireworks
The water surface of the Huai River is brilliant like an amethyst water dragon swimming shallowly, and the black canopy color boat on the river rows out ripples, cutting out layers of beautiful scenery. The long street on both sides of the river is as gorgeous as day, and at night as dawn, only through the shade of the branches there is a round of flowers and moons on the top of the trees. The red light tent is warm, and the flowers are open. Tourists in Chang'an City are shaking their hands and feet, and the river is endless.
Shangguan Chaoyu ran into a flower street and ran into the depths of Willow Alley. I saw the attic of the long street entering the water, hanging red and draped. The red lights on the frieze were intertwined, and after walking for a while, Xiaohong tugged at Shangguan Chaoyu's sleeve. The princess looked up and saw a deep courtyard in the depths of the clouds, hanging with a long flat and gilded characters engraved with a drunken red mansion.
There are several female prostitutes standing in front of the drunken red mansion, graceful and amorous. Several people were half-clothed, revealing a large area of snow-white skin in the sea of clouds and clouds, and they were greeting the guests with trembling flowers.
The two pretended to be calm, and were held by two young women, pinching their sleeves and carrying them in. This is the largest place in Chang'an City, where warblers and swallows are singing everywhere, and people who move to and from are pushing cups and changing lamps, and they are staggered.
"Two sons, just watch and play. If you like it, sign up for it. If it's the first time you come, you will be guaranteed to be satisfied. A turtle boy wearing a hat took a pot of fine wine and placed it on the red table, and as he spoke, he motioned for the young and beautiful woman next to him to come over.
In the place of spring light, the winding corridor is full of sounds, and the phantom is curling next to the bead curtain of the painting boat.
Shangguan Chaoyu came to have something to do, and it was difficult to excuse himself and hide his disgust. was mistaken for a young girl in yellow, and she was about to cling to Shangguan Chaoyu with a smile. She was startled and quickly moved away.
Xiaohong hurriedly came over to block the peach blossoms for her master, causing all the female prostitutes to laugh and caress their stomachs.
However, Gui Gong is a master with a very high eyesight, and looking at the two of them dressed extraordinary, they must be rich children who are not good at slacking. Under the gesture of his eyes, a beautiful woman Shanshan came over and said, "Two sons, there is a private room upstairs." The tea is ready, Childe please. ”
Where had Shangguan Chaoyu seen this kind of scene, it was no less than a sea of swords and fires to her, and she hurriedly fled. Xiaohong is used to being powerful, but she is not afraid of these female prostitutes, this time she was a son, but she also learned a few colors of Jing Huan's son, and glared at a few merry women angrily. There was no anger, but there was a little anger, but it provoked the turtle prince to think that he was not well entertained, and hurriedly rushed over to make amends.
In the red building of the high hall, the carved railing is made of jade, and the flowers and trees are sparse. The sandalwood is bursting in the nose, the private room is elegantly furnished, the "Dark Fragrance Pavilion" sign is hung, and the cinnabar team is pasted on the door. Inside the house hangs the famous painting "Green Willow Picture" of the current dynasty, and there are calligraphy and paintings of famous singers on all sides.
A beautiful girl with spring, she tunes the piano by hand. There are shy beauties shaking cigarettes, the furnace light is red, and sandalwood is blowing, which is soul-stirring. Shangguan Chaoyu looked through the Yao window, her eyes were still looking for something, and Xiaohong knew her thoughts. stopped the turtle who was about to pass by and introduced himself, and drove the bee butterfly out of the box. Shangguan Chaoyu by the fireside wore a tight-fitting green coat, and his white neck was wrapped in cigarettes. The snow-white cheeks are as clean and flawless as the moon by the hearth, more beautiful than flowers.
The two of them went to the Qinglou lightly, but Shangguan Chaoyu's heart was extremely worried. I couldn't see Zhao Qin's heart swaying, and when I saw Zhao Qin, I didn't know how to talk about it. This is probably the so-called acacia, and it is more exciting to see than not to see.
"You girl, now that you're being regarded as a merryman, what should you do?" Shangguan Chaoyu said like a coquettish.
"Childe, I heard. This drunken red mansion is going to choose an oiran tonight, I don't know how many people just come here to see the excitement and drink, you can rest assured. Xiaohong looked at the master's shy appearance, covered her mouth and smiled.
"Okay, you stinky girl, it turns out that you have a premeditated plan, which makes me worry for a long time. Shangguan patted his chest towards the rain.
"Otherwise, where would I dare to bring my son here!" Xiaohong hurriedly grimaced.
"Choosing an Oiran? Shangguan muttered to the rain.
Seeing that Xiaohong next to him was eavesdropping on his whispers, Shangguan Chaoyu was annoyed that this girl was neither big nor small, and reached out to fight. The two of them played hide and seek in this room, laughing loudly, and there was a woman with good deeds outside the door clinging to the window, and they couldn't guess the psychology of the two lords.
Both of them are women, and they can't drink flower wine, but they also called a few red-sleeved ones to add fragrance, and they played, played, and sang. It also made the two of them feel that the women in this green building are versatile and eye-opening.
After an hour, the show began. A turtle came to knock on the door, saying that there was an oiran competing for beauty, and the Spring Festival once depended on who bid high, and then he could hug the beauty. Shangguan Chaoyu had already been bored, and when he thought of it, he was about to see Zhao Qin, who was about to forget, and there was a deer in his heart, and his face was red.
When the man saw him like this, he secretly thought that he didn't care about money, but it didn't matter if he was blushing and timid, he had seen too many of these people. In the land of wind and moon, once born and twice ripe, there are all those who take this place as their home later.
In the hall on the first floor of the Drunken Red Building, there is a long corridor. At the rockery water fountain, the ambilight is full of color. A red platform was built, and at this moment the night was erosive and the lights were bright. The baristre was full of drinkers holding on to the railing, some of them holding emerald green in their arms and holding wine glasses.
Shangguan Chaoyu is a daughter, and standing in a group of men at the moment is even more uncomfortable than being thrown among the flowers. It is inevitable that there will be collisions, whether it is a drunk reckless man or a scholar, they are all ugly.
Xiaohong had to play the role of a villain along the way, guarding in front of Shangguan Chaoyu. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and this sentence is not false at all. What's more, it's not a ghost grinding, it's just finding a good location. After some dotting, the two sat on a waterfront terrace where they could eat and drink and watch the lanterns and enjoy the flowers.
In the dance pavilion, beautiful women sing and dance. The posture is ethereal, and the posture is wonderful. With the end of the song, a girl wearing white gauze and Tiyun shoes came out after a long time. The long skirt only reached the legs of the deceptive snow, revealing the incomparably smooth slender calves. The flaming candlelight shines on the white instep, like a shaking jade in a sea of flowers.
"It's so beautiful, the big beauty in the capital, the fish is long. ”
"When you see the city, you will see the country. Such a woman, if you can sleep with her all night, she will be a ghost. "No matter how beautiful a beauty is, it's a pity that the people who look at it are all people who say foul language. Shangguan Chaoyu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a scene for the first time.
The fish has a thin veil like mist on his body, and a beautiful figure like Tianxian Peak. The twin peaks are tall and handsome, and the eyebrows and cheeks are more like fairies in the clouds, which can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed. Seeing her smiling, it was really a hundred flowers and extremely gorgeous. The guests in the hall applauded, and the number of people who broke through the door for her every day was unknown. Many people see such beauties for the first time and enjoy the blessings of their eyes, and they must be even more tasteless when they go home and see the yellow-faced mother-in-law again.
Life is a big dream, and the red face and disaster are often desolate. The beautiful woman cranked the Luo fan, and she was drunk and dreamed of death in the Red Mansion. The fish held the xylophone leisurely and fell in a curling manner. Such a beautiful woman makes people feel amazing at a glance.
The autumn breeze outside the door is sorrowful, the yellow leaves are withering, and the house is drunk with gold, mixing incense and burning ink. The autumn wind only prunes the willow branches and leaves, and the fairy sees the spring flowers blooming. Even Shangguan Chaoyu couldn't help but admire when he saw such a beautiful woman as Yu Youyou.
The girl's appearance is captivating, falling among the flowers, attracting a swarm of bees and butterflies. Some applauded, some clapped, and even more obscene men drooled at it.
Zhao Qin drank a cup of Guanyin tea and looked at the beautiful woman in the field with a grin.
The xylophone is made of old fragrant wood, and the strings are of fine silk. The fish is slightly blessed, sitting gracefully, the Qianqianyu fingers are beating on the strings like a lark, the sound of the piano is high mountains and flowing water, the sharp place is like the delivery of gold and stone, and the gentle place is like curling smoke. She is condensed and deep, but she can compose a trickle of water, bubbling and passing music. Everyone present applauded and applauded.
Wang's mother, who is in charge of the drunken Red Mansion, is even happier to see her behaving like this. Gathered next to Zhao Qin and introduced it diligently, it turned out that he had learned from a famous contemporary master at an early age to have this piano skill, and Zhao Qin couldn't help but be surprised.
This "Fisherwoman's Song" tells the story of the love of men and women, and the sound of the piano is like clearing the clouds, making people see a beautiful fisherwoman standing on the bow of the boat and frolicking. Everyone was intoxicated by the sound of the piano, as if they saw a beautiful woman slowly waving to them. In the beautiful scenery, it is the colorful butterflies dancing among the flowers, and it is also a little red plum in the snow dance.
The murmuring sound of the piano ended, and the fish stood in the middle of the dance floor. Some of them made trouble, threw flowers and handkerchiefs, and all kinds of things, and everyone applauded.
"The slave family has seen all the sons, master!" she made a slight salute, the peaks that the light veil could not cover, the waves were coveted.
A guy with a cloth hat came up to the stage and moved the xylophone. A turtle with a loud voice pulled his throat and introduced the life of the Yu family.
"Childe, this Yoyoqin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all connected, and last night I was talking to me about the benefits of Childe, and I just hope that Childe can pick up Na. The old bustard chatted with Zhao Qin in a low voice.
"Haha...... I miss her. This song should only be in the sky, rewarded, rewarded!" Zhao Qin laughed.
Cui Xinwu next to him wiped away a mouthful of saliva and smirked.
"Fancy it?" Zhao Qin scolded.
"I like big butts. Cui Xinwu unceremoniously wiped saliva on Wang's mother's clothes. The old mother glared angrily and said, "The old lady is not younger than this girl when she is young, Cui Gongzi, why don't you try?"
"I've heard about Aunt Wang's romance for a long time, and now it's not bad. Cui Xinwu generously admired the mountain bag exposed at Wang's mother's neckline, and her saliva was about to be drowned. "I wanted to see Aunt Wang's plum blossom forest, Peach Blossom Pond ......"
"You dead enemy, don't hurt the old lady, otherwise don't blame me for breaking your vajra body. Mother Wang's palm was pinched by Cui Xinwu's big hand, and she finally broke free, smiling and scolding.
Zhao Qin really didn't want to look at this pair of shameless people, so he turned his head to watch the women in the stands.
"This champion, Bangyan, Tanhua needless to say, the rest of the women are too boring. Zhao Qin lost interest.
In the city of Chang'an, the moonlight is merry. Some people will evaluate the Oiran, and there has long been a "flower evaluation list". In addition to appearance, the selection of Oiran should also bring talent, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Therefore, the women in Qinglou want to get ahead, in addition to being beautiful, they also find someone to learn Wenmo. This ranking is ranked according to the ranking of the exam, and there are champions, top eyes, and top three in tanhua. In the flower building, a red platform is placed, and a famous and beautiful woman comes to the stage to compete for beauty, and the one who gets the most rewards is the Oiran.
Holding an Oiran Contest can not only affect the reputation of one's own restaurant, but also improve the status of women. And those literati who love the wind and the moon and like to pick flowers are also tired of this.
Beauty singing and dancing naturally no one will feel bored, time has passed quietly, and there have been dozens of Huaihe courtesans on stage to compete for beauty. If you see too many beautiful women, you may really feel a little tired of visuals, and some people are already interested. For example, Zhao Qin has already closed his eyes and rested in the hanging shoulders of the maid next to him.
"Temple Moon Moon ......"
Someone said a woman's name, and there was a commotion from nowhere, and then the crowd was in an uproar. Shangguan Chaoyu ate some desserts, his throat was a little tired, and he was suddenly pushed by Xiaohong beside him.
"Gongzi is the first beauty in Chang'an City. Si Yueyue, ah...... "Xiaohong seems to have great respect for this woman.
"Who is she?" Shangguan Chaoyu obviously hadn't heard of it.
"Legend has it that she is the first beauty in the world, and it is said that when today's son was ......" Xiaohong didn't dare to speak out loud when she said this, and whispered in Shangguan Chaoyu's ear.
"Where did you hear that?" Shangguan Chaoyu was slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that Li Long was such a ridiculous emperor.
The little red thief smiled sheepishly and pinched the green silk of his ears and temples. "The world-famous Li Caizi has a book called "Wishful Thinking", which is the story it is about!"
"Oh my God, such a bold person, can't he be beheaded? Why is it still circulating?" Shangguan Chaoyu was puzzled.
"This emperor is a self-proclaimed man. It is said that even he has read this book, and he even went to an official to make it for Li Caizi. Xiaohong proudly told her master about these rumors. Shangguan Chaoyu really couldn't accept it, and the high-ranking emperor Li Long also had such a ridiculous affair.
She never thought that the person she missed day and night was more romantic than Li Long.
If you have to describe the woman in red who appeared on the stage, disaster to the country and the people may be the best word. This is a natural curse, and it is natural.
She came from the red dust, not a single flower in the dust, but her body was extremely bright. A grain of cinnabar between the eyebrows penetrates the bone, and the pear vortex is shallow and shallow. The snow-white skin undulates a touching collarbone, and the beauty makes people can't open their eyes.
These people are not related to freshness, and some are charming and mature. The temple month and month are coming, and the lotus is born step by step. Just a smile made everyone lose their souls. If such a woman enters the harem, I am afraid that she will be favored by thousands of people. She looks like a drunken rose, and people can't help but want to take care of it.
The autumn water is the god jade as the bone, and the Yiren wear red makeup, and the heavy makeup is always appropriate, which is more beautiful than Xizi.
Perhaps many people didn't hear what she said, and the cheers and supporters cheered from the scene. The arrogant staff and the noble son spent a lot of money to buy a beautiful woman to laugh, and the noisy house seemed to be waiting for the protagonist to appear.
"Wow, she's looking at me, she's looking at me......" An older gentleman looked like crazy.
Someone next to him was laughing at him, but he saw that the scourge was looking at this side with a wide eye. The young man's blood was masculine, and when he saw the snow-white skin of the beautiful woman in red, the blood of the chest and nostrils between the towering clouds flowed out uncontrollably.
"Such a woman is really married home, and she is afraid that others will worry about her!" someone sighed.
"Isn't it? If I marry her, I won't be in the mood to work. One person answered.
"I'm not in the mood to read. A literati in his forties yelled.
Everyone laughed, but their eyes couldn't take their eyes off the beauty on the stage.
"Reward!" Zhao Qinteng stood up and pointed to his fingers and shouted.
Zhao Qin kicked the slave who was dumbfounded and unresponsive to the beautiful woman next to him, making him fall and pee. Si Yueyue's pair of phoenix eyes happened to face Zhao Qin and made a gesture at him. Posture, smiling and smiling.
Shangguan Chaoyu almost threw the peeled walnut shell on Zhao Qin's face, and his chest rose and fell with anger.
"Princess. Childe, drink tea, drink tea......" Xiaohong hurriedly brought a cup of tea and comforted Shangguan Chaoyu, who could run away at any time. Shangguan Chaoyu's eyes stared fiercely at Zhao Qin, who was showing off his martial arts, if his eyes could kill, Zhao Qin should have died ten thousand times.
