Chapter 17 Tianxiang Building
"Big brother, can you take me on your trip to Jiangnan?" Xiao Xuan asked with a smile.
Ye Baimei shook his head and said, "My father-in-law and the military advisor only ordered me to go alone. ”
Xiao Xuan touched the horse's head and looked up at the night sky, the night sky was dark, there was not a single star, a trace of moonlight, and he only heard Xiao Xuan say softly: "Thirteen years ago, it was also such a dark night, the four disciples of the Ghost Valley raided the Fallen Horse Pass, and my mother's life and death in that battle are unknown, and her whereabouts are unknown, since then I have sworn that I will not give up in this life!"
Although Xiao Xuan's words were light, they contained murderous intent.
Ye Baimei's snow-white eyebrows trembled when he heard this, that kind and gentle woman was the only person he cared about in this life, but she was gone.
Thirteen years ago, he did not accompany him in the battle of Falling Maguan, which has always been a pain in Ye Baimei's heart, if he had accompanied him thirteen years ago, maybe his stepmother would not have died, at least he would not have to fight the four heirs of Ghost Valley alone.
"Let's go!" Ye Baimei took the lead and rode forward.
Xiao Xuan sighed secretly, Ye Baimei was abandoned at birth, coupled with his innate strange disease, it is difficult to find a little human touch from Ye Baimei, but once it involves his mother, Ye Baimei's attitude will not be very different.
However, his mother's love for his brother-in-law is not less, Qinfang Garden has a peach blossom planted by his mother, and there are also hawthorns planted by the medical fairy in Butterfly Valley, even if his mother has passed away for thirteen years, Ye Baimei has never let the twenty-six hawthorn trees in Butterfly Valley wither.
Xiao Xuan and Ye Baimei galloped all the way, changing six horses during the process, and finally came to the territory of Yingchuan, Jiangnan Province in three days and nights.
The two settled in an inn in the western suburbs of Yingchuan, and then changed their outfits, turning into a white-headed old man and a noble son in brocade clothes.
Ye Baimei has white hair and white eyebrows, and it is effortless to dress up, Xiao Xuan is the only son of Xiao Zhan, the general of Tiance, and he doesn't have to play it at all.
The son of the gentleman family took the weak and old servant out of the inn and went straight to Tianxianglou.
Tianxiang Building, located on the bank of Yingchuan Qinhuai, is one of the four famous buildings of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and is also the largest Fengyue place in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Hundreds of miles of Qinhuai River, tens of thousands of merry people.
Yingchuan is different from the desolation of Liangzhou, but it is a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, with the land of fish and rice, the plain of the two rivers, and the smoke and rain of Qinhuai that dumped the literati.
Xiao Xuan was gorgeously dressed, wearing a streamer purple jade, a precious short knife hanging from his waist, dressed as a noble son of a family, and a matchmaker greeted him before he stepped into Tianxiang Building.
Tianxianglou is responsible for introducing the girl called the matchmaker, Tianxianglou feels that every relationship even if it is only one night, it is also love, therefore, the person responsible for the introduction is called the matchmaker, this title is highly praised and scrambling to emulate, so that the matchmaker who really helps to introduce relatives is often misunderstood, miserable.
The matchmaker who greeted Xiao Xuan and Ye Baimei was charming and sexy, about thirty years old, and her charm still existed, and she was also a flower-like beauty named Liu Ruyi who moved Qin Huai.
It's just that the years are ruthless, except for those heavenly people who are free from the red dust, no one can escape the devastation of the years. No matter how beautiful he was when he was young, once his style was not there, no one would care about him, and Liu Ruyi, who once had many admirers, also became a welcoming matchmaker.
"Does Childe have a favorite girl?"
"Yes, my son is here for Miss Gu. Xiao Xuan smiled and nodded.
Liu Ruyi's complexion changed slightly, there is more than one girl surnamed Gu in Tianxianglou, but there is only one who is really famous, and that is Gu Shenyu, the Oiran of Tianxianglou, the woman who has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, and is known as the first beauty in the world.
However, Gu Shenyu is the signboard of Tianxianglou, but it is not something that can be seen when you see it, her beauty is more of a rumor from the outside world, and few people have seen it.
"Haven't asked Gongzi Gao's surname yet?" Liu Ruyi remained silent, there are countless beauties in Tianxianglou, and most of them are princes and nobles, so you must not be careless before you find out the identity of the other party.
"Shen Li!" said the rich man with a smile on his face.
Liu Ruyi's mind turned around, and quickly counted Yingchuan and even the wealthy families surnamed Shen in the world, in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, only the Shen family in Daming Lake in Xuzhou can be regarded as a real family, but the Shen family in Daming Lake does not seem to have a young master named Shen Li, and the smile on Liu Ruyi's face suddenly faded a lot.
"Shen Gongzi must be here for the first time, the Shenyu girl never sees a guest, and she still looks at Gongzi Haihan. ”
"That's ......" The rich man looked a little disappointed, and then asked, "Then do you have any other girls surnamed Gu here?"
Liu Ruyi was stunned, this stunned young man is really here for Miss Gu, as for whether Miss Gu is the first beauty in the world, Gu Shenyu is not necessarily.
Liu Ruyi's evaluation of Xiao Xuan in her heart was downgraded again, in her opinion, this seemingly rich and noble brother was simply bluffing, saying that it was not necessarily that the jewels and jade in this gorgeous costume had exhausted their family wealth.
"There is one on the third floor and one on the sixth floor, I don't know how many floors the son is going to?" Liu Ruyi still had a smile on his face, being in this land of wind and moon, he was doing those cheap things to sell his body, as long as someone paid for it, what was it to sell a worthless smile.
The national color is drunk, and the sky is fragrant and the clothes are dyed at night.
The name of Tianxianglou comes from this poem, the beauty of the country, the red sleeves add fragrance, it is the dream of countless dignitaries and high-rollers.
Tianxiang Building has a total of ten floors, and every time you go up, the girl's appearance increases by one point, and the woman on the ninth floor of the entire Tianxiang Building is just Gu Shenyu.
As for the ten floors, since the establishment of Tianxianglou, there has been no woman in the owner, reduced to an ornament, how can there be a perfect ten women in the world.
The Confucian saint Lu Zhongping once said with a smile: "Xie Liuyun's sword, Li Qinglian's poems, Wu Daoqian's paintings, and Gu Shenyu's beauty account for half of the world's romance." ”
With his beauty and Xie Liuyun, Li Qinglian, Wu Daoqian, and other famous artists, Gu Shenyu's demeanor can be seen, and it is the comment of the Confucian saint Lu Zhongping that made Gu Shenyu win the title of the world's first beauty in one fell swoop.
Lu Zhongping rode a green ox to read the Tao Te Ching for 50 years, and finally realized that he stepped on the heavenly phenomena in one step, and stepped directly on the mountains and rivers in another step, traveling thousands of miles and becoming a Confucian sage.
The Confucian saint Lu Zhongping is recognized as the greatest Confucian saint in the world after his master, and his words are naturally not light, even if it is a joke, it still makes Gu Shenyu famous.
"Then the third floor, Lao Han gave the young master a hundred taels of silver ......" Xiao Xuan waved his hand and said boldly.
The white-eyed and white-haired old servant was a little embarrassed, and after digging for a long time, he took out two taels of broken silver, how could he get a hundred taels of silver.
"Where's the silver?" the young boy glared.
The old servant pointed to the shining purple jade and the precious short knife on the young man's waist, and the young man's face suddenly turned red, and he took off the purple jade with a hesitation, "This jade is worth a hundred taels of silver." ”
The pain in the young man's eyes couldn't escape Liu Ruyi's eyes, and it was only at this time that Liu Ruyi completely relieved his heart, this is really a stunned young man who does not hesitate to exhaust his family wealth and intends to come to the land of wind and moon to fill the uncle.
After Liu Ruyi accepted the purple jade, he led the young son to the third floor and found the woman surnamed Gu.
"Childe ......"
"Childe, don't worry......"
"Ah......h
When Liu Ruyi left, he vaguely heard the woman's exclamation and the man's wheezing sound from the room, Liu Ruyi couldn't help sneering and shaking his head, so anxious, he was really a stunned young man who had never seen the world.
