Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Intoxicating Building
Autumn is crisp and the weather is getting cooler. People come and go in the imperial capital, the smell of rice wafts in the depths of the alley, several sedan chairs are parked at the corner of the street, and the women in the car are half-lifting the sedan curtains to greet each other.
On the wide street, three white-clothed men walked from far and near. But I saw that the three of them had their black hair neatly tied on the top of their heads, their faces were delicate and refined, their skin was fair, and they walked in a graceful posture, gently swinging the complicated hem of their clothes. The three of them are very unified, with their left hand behind their backs and their right hands holding a wooden fracture fan, looking dashing.
It is not surprising that this person is so. There are at least high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the imperial capital, and the sons of rich and noble families are always very particular about going out. Or wear silk and satin, wear jade at the waist, or ride a high-headed horse, and open the way to show his noble status. But the three of them are dressed in the same way, coming from the end of the long street at a unified pace, which is visually shocking.
So as the three of them walked through the long street, the pedestrians who came and went consciously avoided on both sides, and the vendors doing business unconsciously stopped their movements and shouted in their mouths, and watched the three people walk in front of them with their mouths slightly open without knowing it.
"Isn't this the third prince of the imperial capital, who is very famous these days, don't say it, he looks really handsome. A passerby muttered.
"But no, who are they? Why didn't I know how many people there were in the imperial capital before, but which family's son?"
"I don't know, look at them, they don't have anything, they can't see their identity. The man shook his head helplessly.
"I think it should be a big man with a head and a face, you look at the material of their clothes, how can ordinary people afford to wear them. ”
"And I happened to see the three of them when I was eating at Huichun Building yesterday, heh! I ordered a big table, and they casually threw away fifty taels of silver, which is very generous. Another person joined in the small talk.
・・・・・
The number of people discussing gradually increased, and finally even the names of the three sons and who lived in the family "discussed", and at this time, the three sons had disappeared at the end of the long street.
In a secluded alley at the end of the street, although the three young girls were dressed as sons, they gathered in a small group at the moment, looked at each other, and were covering their mouths and smiling secretly, their eyebrows and eyes full of pride.
"Did you see it! Just now when we passed by, there was an old man with a roast cake in his mouth, and his mouth was too wide open, and the roast cake fell out of his mouth in a daze. Zhenyu said as she tried to hold back a laugh.
"But no, I have heard a lot of people talking about us, saying that we are the sons of which family we came to visit relatives in the imperial capital. Nian Nian smiled.
"Whose son-in-law can look like us. Zhen Yu raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully.
"In the past few days, you have visited all the large and small restaurants and teahouses in the imperial capital, and people have been surprised by you. Zhu Mei smiled a little helplessly, but her tone was full of love, "But speaking of which, it is indeed a good way to disguise herself as a man, although it is eye-catching, it will not cause any trouble for yourself." ”
Nian Nian knew that Zhu Mei was referring to the last time the two met in the teahouse, and the end of this matter was complicated, so he didn't mention it to Zhenyu, and he didn't answer at the moment.
Zhenyu shook the folding fan and smiled casually, "That's natural, I often do this." After that, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said to the two of them mysteriously: "If you want to say that this is the most lively place, there is another place we haven't been to." ”
Nian Nian suddenly became curious, "What place?"
When Zhenyu saw that he was hooked every year, he smiled and didn't answer, only said that he would take them tonight.
As soon as the lights came on, the number of people on the street gradually increased. Bright lanterns hang on both sides of the street, so it doesn't feel dark at all, but has a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere.
Against the backdrop of the night, the three sons on the street are not so conspicuous, and Zhenyu takes the two of them through the streets and alleys, as if they are going to their own house. Although they walked quickly, if you looked closely, you could still see that there were about seven or eight figures not far behind the three figures with fluttering sleeves. These figures were dressed in black, silently hidden in the dark, and the face of one of the leaders was familiar, it was Lao Hao, who was staring at the figure in front of him at the moment, and sighed helplessly after seeing the direction in which they were going.
The three of them stopped in an extremely lively alley, where it was a little cold during the day, but I didn't expect it to be so noisy at night, red lanterns hung in front of each door, and women in twos and threes were coated with thick fat powder, standing at the door with a smile, and talking to each other.
Nian Nian was a little stunned, curiously looking at the men and women coming and going. Zhu Mei's cold eyes began to be a little dazed, and then some flushes welled up on her cheeks.
Zhen Yu secretly glanced at the expressions of the two, and pulled them to the highest and most imposing door to stand. The three of them looked up and saw that on the carved wooden door, there was an antique plaque hanging horizontally, and on it were three delicate big characters: Drunken Heart Building.
Zhenyu coughed, put on a very serious look, and instructed the two: "This is the so-called place of fireworks, and the drunken building in front of you is the largest green building in the imperial capital, although it is a green building, but this is not a dirty place, and the people who can enter and exit here are men with status, and the girls in this drunken building are said to be not only beautiful, but also have unique skills." We are now the third prince of the imperial capital, and such a place is naturally not to be missed!"
"I seem to have heard people talk about this place," Nian Nian muttered for a moment, "By the way, I remember that person seems to have mentioned Miss Yu Shemanyu, the top brand of Drunken Heart Building, and compared her appearance with the princess Baimo who was going to marry Cangye." ”
When Zhen Yu heard this, Feng Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked with a strange expression, "What is the result of the comparison?"
Zhu Mei shook her head, "It's nothing, just a bunch of boring people." That Princess Baimo's status is noble and abnormal, how can they see it, since Miss Yu is the top brand here, there must not be many people who can see her. Besides, one is a foreign princess, and the other is the top brand of Qinglou, where is there any comparison. ”
Zhen Yu listened, smiled and nodded, "In this case, that group of people is indeed too boring, let's hurry in, if we are lucky, maybe we can still see that Yu girl." ”
The three of them then came out of the darkness and swaggered into the drunken building.
Unlike the other young women standing at the door, there was no loud laughing and scolding. As soon as you enter the door, the fragrance of tea comes to your nose, which makes people feel leisurely. The three of them followed the flow of people through the gate and into the inner hall.
The sound of the piano flowed slowly, and on the ground not far in front of them, there were several women sitting, their eyebrows were picturesque, all of them were attentive to the beating of their fingertips, and the three of them entered the inner hall and looked around, this is a two-story building, and there is a staircase on the left and right sides of the woman playing the piano. Surrounded by elegant wooden doors.
The people behind them pushed open a certain door and walked in, and in the end, only the three of them were still standing in place, no one cared for them.
At this time, an elegant middle-aged woman came out of a room on the left-hand side, her gorgeous skirt reflected the mature appearance of the woman, the woman smiled and looked at the three of them, and asked: "I am the steward here, and the sons must be the first time to come to the drunken heart building, right?"
Zhenyu nodded.
The beautiful woman then said, "Please ask the three sons to pay a hundred taels of silver in advance before they can stay here." ”
I can't help but smack my tongue every year, one hundred taels, no wonder there are not many people who come here, how can ordinary people have so much silver.
At this time, Zhen Yu took out a hundred taels of silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it over generously: "In the next few passing by the imperial capital, I heard that the famous girl of Lou Yu was intoxicated, I wonder if I can have a chance to meet him?"
The beautiful woman put away the silver ticket and smiled slightly: "Three good luck today, this Yu girl is the top brand of the intoxicated building, she rarely shows up on weekdays, but tonight she will just play a song here, and then she will compete with all the sons for talent, if she is favored, you will have the opportunity to go upstairs with her, but you need to pay another silver tael." ”
The three of them were full of curiosity when they heard this, and they couldn't help but faintly look forward to this top brand.
