332, smoke and rain
"The slave family also knows one. Another courtesan also leaned in, "Last year, a mountain traveler came to Chang'an, and somehow he was favored and worshiped by the first talent queen Yueyao, and it also attracted the jealousy of most of the young talents in Chang'an. I heard that they once set up seven levels of 'piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, history and politics' in the Stargazing Tower to challenge them, but they were defeated and returned without the slightest strength to fight back. Remember that the name of the mountain traveler is...... Howling Winds?"
"Chang'an talents, most of them have real talents and learning, and they can beat them with a crushing attitude, and Feng Xiaoling is also the number one person. Duan Huanshan also stretched out his hand to the courtesan, "What else?"
When asked again, the courtesans couldn't come up with a name that could be called a "character", even though they racked their brains.
In a place like Qinglou, most of the people who come are depressed in their hearts, or simply to have fun, and some topics will naturally not appear here. Even if it is occasionally mentioned, it is only a passing mention. Names such as "Wind Chill" and "Zhu Jiutian", which are almost equivalent to killing, will naturally not be known by these courtesans, so when Duan Huanshan asked this topic, the surrounding courtesans were already shaking their heads again and again.
After asking again, there was still no one to answer, so Duan Huanshan triumphantly changed his question: "What do you think, what is the strength of my Qixia Castle?"
"Alas, you are really annoying. The first courtesan punched him in the chest in disgust, "One of the three, how is your strength, do you still use our sisters to say it?"
"Haha, if I don't ask that, I'm afraid you still don't know the ability of the Chill Hall Master. Duan Huanshan hugged the courtesans tighter, "Don't you know that the underworld, which is stronger than Qixia Castle, was destroyed by the Chill Hall Master and his brothers. In the past year, the wind chill, which is called 'indifferent to the common people' by the world, is now sitting in front of you and me. ”
"Ahh
One after another, they exclaimed, not because the word "wind chill" frightened a group of courtesans, but because they were surprised to learn that the underworld, which was slightly inferior to Qixia Castle, was actually destroyed by the masked man in front of them.
Seeing the reaction of the courtesans, Duan Huanshan was obviously extremely satisfied: "Yes, this cold boy in front of him is the hot spot in Chang'an recently. It is precisely because of the merit of suppressing the rebellion in the underworld that he also has a place in the selection of the three respects, and a few days ago the emperor even issued a holy decree to make him a Zhongshu squire, and the official position is three grades. ”
Hearing Duan Huanshan's introduction, the courtesans were even brighter, and with Duan Huanshan's acquiescence, they were ready to step forward and sit next to Tang Ling and get close to him.
Tang Ling was indifferent, but said calmly: "Lord Duan Bao praised it falsely, the chill is just a recklessness, how can it be evaluated like this?"
Now that he has broken the identity of "wind chill", Duan Huanshan changed his appearance in the tone of words, and deliberately got close to him: "Chill is not a good word. On that day, if it weren't for the timely appearance of your Shadow Hall, I don't know how many casualties would have occurred. This alone, just a Chinese scholar, I'm afraid it's still not enough to show your credit. ”
As soon as the words fell, a courtesan who was still sticking to Duan Huanshan's side had already spoken: "Then, should we call it 'Wind Squire' or 'Chill Hero'?"
"Haha, that's a question you should ask him. Duan Huanshan replied, stretched out his hand and nodded a little on the courtesan's nose.
"The chill is alone, you can call it whatever you want. Tang Ling's tone was still calm, "I don't know what Lord Duan Castle invited today, so what's the matter?"
Hugging the courtesan, Duan Huanshan smiled lightly, deliberately showing his side of being a good son: "Without him, I just saw that the cold was tired of dealing with the visitors recently, so I took it upon myself to set up this banquet, so that the cold can be relaxed, and let the two of us know each other more." Today, here, there is only elegance, how about it?"
"I'm afraid that the chill will live up to Lord Duan's kindness. ”
"Why do you need to be so eager to make a conclusion?" Duan Huanshan clapped his hands lightly, "Good days are rare, and the cold just needs to relax." ”
The applause fell, and I saw that several small servants had walked into the private room with low tables and benches and other objects, and after they had to visit them properly, two more people walked in carrying a sandalwood guqin.
"What is this?"
Duan Huanshan smiled: "The reason why Qianni Tower is famous in Chang'an is only because the beauties in the building are not only stunning, but also have stunts. Tonight, Huanshan invited the girl from the building to perform her skills, and please don't be abrupt with the cold. ”
"Oh?"
Although Tang Ling was curious, he did not leave the table.
At this moment, a good shadow has walked in with Yingying's footsteps. Although she is also a woman in the Qinglou, she said indifferently, as if she was blocking all the vulgarity in the building, like a white lotus in the pool, and all the worldly disturbances have nothing to do with her.
"This femininity is somewhat similar to Yun'er and Jiutian, but it's just ......" Tang Ling was gloomy in her heart, "Yun'er's nature jumps out, and it seems that the worldly dust is difficult to touch her; She is sinking in dirt, and she has accepted her fate, and this unearthly aura is just the last insistence, as time goes by, it will be difficult to avoid the situation after all, but it's a pity. ”
Tang Ling thought about it alone, but the rest of the people present were unaware. After the woman walked in, she just said a blessing to him and Duan Huanshan as usual, and her tone was so calm that people were obsessed: "Yanyu has seen the two sons of Huanshan and Cold. ”
Tang Ling only nodded in response.
Duan Huanshan said with a smile: "Miss Yanyu is very polite, the two of us are here today." ”
"Thank you for the appreciation of the two sons. ”
The girl seemed to be not good at words, and after saying thank you, she sat down in front of the piano.
Duan Huanshan then said to Tang Ling: "Chill, the girl of the rain is a master of the Qin, I heard that the attainments of the piano are not even inferior to Yueyao, the first talented queen of Chang'an, you and I must not miss this rare opportunity." ”
"The son of Huanshan praised it falsely. ”
The girl of smoke and rain said softly, and plucked the strings, and in an instant, the few music that should have been monotonous seemed to tug at the heartstrings of everyone present, and even the charming courtesans also quieted down and listened attentively.
After pressing the aftertaste, the girl pondered for a while, and then she was about to start playing officially.
The strings beat, first three or two times, and then, like a light veil breeze, pull a round of white moon, set off by a few night clouds, hanging alone in the sky.
Tang Ling was slightly stunned: "This is ......"
Duan Huanshan seemed quite satisfied with his reaction: "Haha, I don't know the cold. At the beginning, Feng Xiaoling not only defeated most of the talents in Chang'an, but also left an unknown piano song, which has been sought after by all piano lovers for a long time, and it is also the song played by the girl of Yanyu today. ”
Feng Xiaoling was Tang Ling's pseudonym, how could he not recognize the music that the girl was playing at the moment? It's just that he was surprised, just because this music just pulled another strange thing in his heart, Duan Huanshan explained, just gave him a step: "I see, thank you Lord Duan Bao for solving your doubts." ”
At this moment-
"Since Miss Yanyu is here, why don't you let her show up to perform her skills?
A strange angry remark with a hint of alcohol came from outside the door.
