Chapter 353: Iceberg Beauty (I)
Bianliang City is not only prosperous, but also very large. Chen Ao rode a horse and walked along the street for two hours before leaving the West Gate. After walking for a while, I saw a brightly lit manor in the distance.
This is already a suburb, and the four fields are bleak. Joy Villa is built halfway up the mountain, and from a distance, it looks like a torch, reflecting half the sky.
The road leading to the lodge is wide and flat, and there are many cars and horses, especially at this time. Chen Ao and the others followed the flow of people, and it could be seen that these people who went to the villa were either rich or expensive. Liu Sanbian also knew some officials, and when he saw the familiar, he pointed out to Chen Ao to know.
It's just that these people's official positions are too low, and it is impossible to know the news in the palace. Chen Ao couldn't tell Liu Sanbian too clearly, so he could only nod again and again without saying a word.
According to his thoughts, it is best to know one or two imperial relatives and be able to walk around the palace, so that there may be hope. Others, it doesn't play a role, and it's a waste of time to get to know each other.
All the way to Joy Hills, there are people in front of the door to welcome guests. Those people are all human spirits, and at a glance, you can know who has a solid background and is willing to spend money, and who is the master who buckles the rope and bargains for fun.
Chen Ao and the others have been in a hurry, and they have no intention of pretending, their faces are dusty, and their clothes are not good material. How could those subordinates waste their time on such a guest? They would not even glance at them.
But fortunately, the gate of this villa is free to enter, and there are no restrictions. Chen Ao is also happy that no one disturbs him, so that he can act on his own. A few people entered the villa and realized the grandeur of this place.
From a distance, I still don't feel that standing on the square in the villa, I realize that it covers a wide area, and I really can't see the end at a glance. The square is the size of two football fields. The ground is paved with bluestone, which is flat and neat.
Liu Sanbian introduced to Chen Ao that there is Baiwei Building, dishes and wines from all over the country, and even food and wine from the Western Regions.
The small courtyard on the other side is a gambling stall, which specializes in serving people who like to gamble on two handfuls. There are all kinds of tricks in it, and there are many strange bets.
There are chess clubs, teahouses, and calligraphy and painting halls next to it, which are exclusively for literati to enjoy leisure. The largest courtyard directly opposite the gate is the most important group of temples in Joy Villa.
It is said that the beauties in Qunfang Courtyard are beautiful and beautiful, and even the emperor's harem can't be compared!
When Liu Sanbian said this, a bright smile appeared on his face, like a fish in water. Chen Ao glanced at him, and finally saw that he had the potential to wander the Qinglou.
After listening to it for a long time, Chen Ao couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen all these courtyards one by one?"
Liu San blushed and smiled awkwardly: "I've heard of it...... I didn't see all of them......"
Chen Ao knew this for a long time, and choked Liu Sanchang, who was excited to become a chatterbox, with this sentence, and looked around. The square was full of people, all heading for their desired place.
The people in the gambling stall are the most buzzing, and the gambling game inside must be fierce. Chen Ao thought to himself, if I were a member of the royal family, I would never come to such a noisy place as a gambling stall. As for calligraphy, painting, piano and chess, these people don't have to go to this kind of place to appreciate it. Come to think of it, most of the people are still here for this group of beauties in Fangyuan!
Chen Ao's guess was indeed not wrong. Most people come to Joy Hills for the Gunfang-in. Therefore, this group of courtyards is the largest courtyard of Joy Villa, and it is also the most lively.
So Chen Ao also followed the flow of people and walked to the high-rise building with three big-character plaques of "Qunfang Courtyard".
This time it wasn't that easy to get into. Due to the large number of customers, you have to pay a large entrance fee if you want to enter Gunbangwon. This naturally turns many people away.
However, Chen Ao is not short of money now, and he is even more prepared for this rescue operation. And before coming to Joy Villa, Chen Ao took a lot of gold and silver and carried it in his arms. If you only look at the clothes of the three people, you would never have imagined that they are really full of money!
Under the surprised gaze of the doorman, three strangers in simple clothes but with generous hands swaggered into the gate of Qunfangyuan.
There is indeed a hole in the courtyard, and there is a three-story building in front of it. Yan Yan's laughter and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras were faintly heard in the building. Behind the tall building is a garden, where pavilions and cornices can be faintly seen. It must have been the detached home of some pink heads.
Chen Ao is no stranger to this kind of layout. The Hongxiang Building in Liangcheng is this kind of setting, but the pattern here is more than a step higher than the Hongxiang Building?
Chen Ao walked into the tall building. There are no private rooms, all guests are in the lobby. In the center of the hall, there is a high platform, which is a bit like a stage for performances, and like a catwalk for models. And at this moment, a cabaret is being staged on the stage. Seven or eight dancing girls wore only translucent light veils, and they could vaguely see the bright bandeau skirts inside. The light yarn is lightly bundled with only a ribbon, and with the gentle dance steps, it seems to fall out of thin air at any time.
The audience in the audience either stared intently at the beautiful women on the stage singing and dancing, or whispered laughter with the female companions around them. There are only tables and chairs in the hall, and everyone arrives here, sitting on an equal footing, and it seems that there is no status of high or low. Whether it is a high-ranking official, a gentleman, or a wealthy businessman, you can find your own fun here.
For people in this era, such a setting is indeed novel and unique, but it is not unfamiliar to Chen Ao. It's just that people in this era can actually come up with such tricks, which makes Chen Ao amazed. If this Joy Villa was designed by the Joy Hou Cao Yi, then this person would simply be a top entertainment tycoon.
Chen Ao glanced at the crowd, and then followed a young man in a green coat and hat to an empty table and sat down. The first time Feng Hu came to this kind of place, he was very unaccustomed to it, and kept his back straight. Chen Aoliu's three changes were not much better than him, and he seemed a little cramped.
Although the little guy is young, he has been in this kind of place for a long time, and when he saw the appearance of the three people, he knew that they were three tender-faced, so he smiled and said: "How many girls do you know each other? If not, the little one can introduce the three of them!"
Chen Ao was hesitating whether to follow the local customs, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a slightly chubby man sitting at a table next to him. The man looked to be in his thirties and forties, and was excellently maintained, and his beard was very well trimmed. This man sat alone at a table, without a female companion, just watching the singing and dancing on the stage, holding a folding fan in his hand, and gently beating the beat.
Looking elsewhere, there are also many people who are not looking for a female partner. Chen Ao shook his hand at the little guy and said, "No need!"
The little guy's smile dissipated suddenly, he snorted softly, waved the teapot in his hand, turned his head and left.
This person's performance made Feng Hu quite surprised. Liu Sanbian smiled and said, "Brother Chen, this little guy must think that we are all novices and can take the opportunity to make a fortune." It was a wise move for Brother Chen not to be fooled. These girls who accompany the wine are naturally not bad, but compared to the real pearl here, they are too far behind!"
Chen Ao smiled bitterly and shook his head. I'm not here to have fun, where do I have the heart to pay attention to any beauties?
He was about to ask around if there was a suitable target. I heard someone on the stage suddenly say loudly: "The guests who came to Qunfang Courtyard tonight are really very lucky, Miss Yunlu is in a good mood tonight, and she is willing to present a song for everyone......"
Before he finished speaking, many people in the audience began to shout in unison: "Yunlu, Yunlu......"
