Volume 2 The Imperial Capital Chapter 2 Chu Family (2)
The gentleman was puzzled and said, "Sister Zhizhi?"
As if awakened by this sound, the man let go of his hand, took a step back, and bowed.
Mr., who is usually light and breezy, suddenly felt in a trance and returned a salute.
The man said, "Meet the master." ”
The gentleman said, "Yes." ”
Brother, sister, what intimate words.
What is this?
The man had no extra expression on his face, made a gesture of please, sat down with the gentleman, and made a cup of tea for each of them.
She held the teapot as if she was going to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
A few slices of tea leaves as dark green as knives stand upright in the translucent green water.
The gentleman took a sip and said, "I like it." ”
He glanced at the person opposite, and found that he was not touched, and his eyes sank unconsciously.
The man said, "Why did you come here before the time comes?"
"I want to stay here for a while," he said. ”
The man barely hesitated and said, "No." ”
......
If you look inside from the south gate of the capital, the first gate you can see is the Imperial Gate, and the road that connects you is called "Suzaku".
Suzaku Street perfectly divides the east and west sides of the capital.
In the east, there is the east market, and in the west, there is the west market, which is thought to be the most prosperous.
Although there is no clear division, if you look at the road called "Jiuan" in the middle of Suzaku Road, which runs between east and west, and divides the north and south, you will find that there is a big gap between the rich and the poor in the two places.
Those who are close to the imperial city are naturally rich, and those on the other side are poor.
Of course, this is only a comparison between the two, and if you change it to other cities, it is not a star and a half.
And the Swallow Tower is located in this corner.
It is also one of the important transportation hubs in the capital.
It extends in all directions, with a wide field of vision; no matter where you go, it only takes half an hour to ride a fast horse; whether it is an official, a wealthy businessman, a local tyrant, a sergeant, a tourist, or a poor person may come; a tower and a first floor stand not far from it.
It can be said that it is the most complicated place outside of the eastern and western cities.
And the Swallow Tower itself has an extraordinary status in the capital.
Although it is a business with a bad reputation, it has been favored by heaven since a long time ago, and has been praised by generations of emperors for dancing for the royal family in the palace.
Over time, the signboard of the Swallow Tower became very large.
It is an important official of the court, and he will also feel honored to be able to invite Yanzilou to come to the mansion to sing and dance, and several of its signature dance music are widely spread and imitated by the world.
That's why the vast majority of people call it a dance floor.
Shen Yu said that the mother is the not very good-looking woman in front of Mr., that is, the owner of the swallow building, is respected as "Chu everyone", only Mr. and a few close people know her real name, called Chu Zhizhi.
......
The gentleman was silent for a moment and asked, "Why?"
Chu everyone said: "It's not time, you shouldn't come." ”
"I think that's enough," he said, "and there will be no more surprises this time." ”
Everyone Chu asked, "Why?"
"I've seen them, and so far, they can't beat me. The gentleman got up and walked to the window, and looked into the distance at a taller, slightly dilapidated, lonely building in the middle of a squat complex.
Chu everyone's eyes are always on him.
Without showing any emotion, the gentleman said, "I took in a student." ”
Chu everyone stood behind him at some point and said, "Li Bukou." ”
Mr. did not question why everyone knew that Li Bukou was his student, she had always cared about herself, and said: "It's not him, although he is really good, but not in that aspect." ”
Chu everyone's tone became heavy, and he was faintly angry, and said, "It's too early." ”
The gentleman turned around, pointed to the unknown place, and said in a firm tone, "She's fine, you should meet her, I brought her here, just downstairs." ”
In this way, the two looked at each other quietly for a long time.
The roughly tied knot finally couldn't support it, and a bed curtain was gently scattered.
Everyone sat back in their chairs.
Picking up the teacup, the water was getting colder.
The gentleman said, "Thank you, sister." ”
Everyone Chu exhaled slowly and said, "Tell me about it." ”
The gentleman said, "I'm going to let her take the exam." ”
Everyone Chu didn't care, and said, "Then let's go, it's not the first time." ”
"It's a girl. He added, "It's my scholar." ”
Chu everyone's eyes were clear, and he said: "The sages have a saying, the people of the Holy Book Building must not violate the laws of the country, have you forgotten the will of the palace?"
The gentleman said, "So I want to ask my sister for help." ”
"It is against the law of the country for women to study, and they are used as a scholar to accompany them, so it doesn't matter if they are women dressed as men?" Chu everyone seemed to smile and said: "In addition to your face, you have really changed a lot, and I have never seen you so attentive to someone." ”
The gentleman was unwavering and said: "My sister's makeup skills are first-class, not to mention ordinary people, even I may not be able to see flaws." ”
"How can I refuse the request of the head of the building, okay, I agreed. Everyone Chu snorted and said, "Is there anything else?" If it's gone, please go out, I still have to deal with the affairs of Yanzilou." ”
The gentleman again looked earnestly and asked, "How is the palace doing?"
Speaking of the palace, everyone Chu immediately became more serious and said, "I haven't entered the palace for many years, but with him, the palace should be fine." If you want to know the details, look for the scope. He took up the post of head of the household department a few years ago, and the affairs in the palace should be much clearer, and it will be more convenient for him to have the affairs of the examination. ”
The gentleman seemed to think about it carefully, but only said, "Yes." ”
That's speechless.
It stands to reason that relatives who have been reunited for a long time will always have a lot of words to say that have been buried in their hearts for many years, and they will never be as secluded as these two people, and they only talk about important things, and they can set the result in one or two sentences.
Everyone Chu looked at Mr., and seemed to be looking at the eternally proud building behind him, his breath was suddenly deep, and his eyes were suddenly sharp.
"If you have time, fix that building. ”
......
With a creak, the door closed softly.
The gentleman walked slowly down the stairs.
The environment changes from quiet to noisy, and a colorful world hits you head-on.
The dim vision was illuminated by the firelight and the red ling, the rich smell of rouge and wine wandered between the snorts, and the soft singing music mixed with rough shouts filled the ears.
Mr. Hao didn't care, so he walked like this, came to the corridor around the atrium on the second floor, walked around, and looked at it...... Then walk around and look at it again......
To make sure that he was not mistaken, the gentleman's lips opened and closed slightly, sighed, leaned on the railing with his left hand, and rested his right hand on his forehead...... Blindfolding, to be exact.
Appalling.
