Chapter 19 Promise of the King

When everyone heard Su Changan's voice, they sat down in a daze and sat down a little stiffly.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Changan couldn't help asking. He felt that since he entered this restaurant, everyone had become a little strange. Even Gu Ning, who had always behaved decently, was a little cramped, as if he was shy about something, and as if he was uneasy about something.

"Are you worried about those gift-givers?" Su Changan tried to reassure everyone, "It's okay, I just watched, those little guys stopped them, let's eat first." When I had had eaten and drunk, I figured it was time for them to go. ”

When these words fell, they were interrupted by a roll of Xiahou Shuyu's eyes.

"Chang'an, don't you really know what kind of place this is?" asked Su Mo on the side, her voice was very small, as if she was afraid of being heard.

Su Changan was stunned, and responded as a matter of course: "What else can this place be, restaurant." ”

"Brother Su is here" Gu Ning looked at Su Chang'an a little strangely, and looked like he wanted to say something.

The doubts in Su Changan's heart became even heavier, he looked at Gu Ning with a nervous face, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Gu, what kind of place is this?"

Xiahou Shuyu on the side seemed to have been completely defeated by her own unresponsive junior brother, and her jade finger pinched Su Changan's waist again, frowned, and pretended to be vicious: "This is the Qinglou !!"

"Qinglou?" Su Changan was stunned, he looked around, and what he saw was a scene of warblers singing and dancing. The maids were scantily clad and showy. With flattery between words and laughter, I greeted the drinkers.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stammered a little: "This is really a green building." ”

As soon as the words fell, several women with half-exposed breasts greeted them with wine and food. They had rouge on their faces and an intoxicating aroma on their bodies. When the wine and food were served, they all sat down next to several teenagers with smiles.

Su Changan glanced at the woman beside him, thirty years old, her appearance was quite pretty, but she was not as good as Su Mo, let alone comparable to Xiahou Shuyu.

But she has been through the wind for a long time, and she has a style that is different from that of a girl. This made Su Changan couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Ruyan has been buying this Peony Pavilion since he was 14 years old, and it has been ten years now. She was born quite beautiful, and she was clever, and she knew how to please her mother. When she was sixteen years old, she was trained by the Yu Gong of the Qinglou to have a bed technique, and she also worked as an Oiran for a period of time. Although she is a little older now, she is still beautiful, so she can be regarded as a woman who can handle it in this Peony Pavilion. There is also a wing room of his own in the Peony Pavilion, which is very content compared to those women who sit in a room crowded together and can only make room for them to serve when they come to serve guests.

Of course, there have been a few businessmen who wanted to redeem her, but she didn't agree. Some sisters who used to be good friends have said that for this reason, women like them who are engaged in the leather and meat business, if they are born with a bit of beauty, when they are young, they are naturally beautiful, and countless sons and wealthy businessmen spend a lot of money for them. But what if it's time for old age and decay? The land of fireworks has always been a place where warblers sing and dance on the surface, but dirt and dirt are hidden inside. If there is no appearance, there will be no guests, and the Qinglou will naturally not raise these idlers, and at that time, it will be self-evident what kind of miserable situation it will be.

Therefore, for most fireworks women, it is an extremely lucky thing to be caught by a guest and redeem their bodies, even if it is just to be a house-filling concubine. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the destination that most fireworks women have always dreamed of.

Up to now, Ruyan is already one in her thirties, and the Qinglou woman is already hard, and she is prone to some strange diseases, and she is a few points faster than ordinary women. If you take away the thick rouge on your face, like smoke, you may look like some women who are nearly forty years old. And the men who wanted to redeem her life gradually died down. The women in the Peony Pavilion who were similar to her age and had some looks had been redeemed one after another over the years, and she was the only one who was struggling to support her. Even her mother, who watched her grow up, persuaded her, but she was unmoved.

She had always had a handkerchief hidden in her arms, a very ordinary handkerchief. But on the handkerchief was a line of poetry, written to her by the man she had been waiting for. And this wait is ten years, she has gone from the Oiran to the defeated willow, from the former door to the current door. The fishtail waited out of the corner of her eye, the green silk waited for the white snow, and the ice muscle waited for the folds.

It's not that she didn't want to give up, but she was afraid, afraid that she had just married someone else. He appeared in front of her, took her by the arm, and asked her why she didn't wait. Whenever she thought of such a scenario, she put away the idea of redemption.

She is just a Qinglou woman, although she is literate, she has not read a few books, and although she can sing a few songs, she does not understand the rhythm. She just remembered a promise, and it was like a torch of darkness that gave her the warmth to survive the long cold night. When she couldn't hold on anymore, she would always take out the handkerchief in her arms and read the lines of poetry, and she would have some courage out of thin air. continue to let her suffer in this dark night, and this stay is ten years.

In the past ten years, she has seen all kinds of men. From high-ranking officials and nobles, to peddlers and pawns, from crude military pawns to handsome sons. But it was the first time she had seen such an interesting man or boy as Su Changan and a few others.

When they should have indulged in the profligacy of dogs and horses, they were sitting on pins and needles, and when they were supposed to be with the girls, they brought two extremely beautiful girls with them.

Ruyan thought it was so funny that she couldn't help but want to tease.

"It looks like it's the first time you've come to our Peony Pavilion, right?" she said, touching the boy's face beside her with her hand.

The boy ducked back as if electrocuted, and moved his body to the side. The pretty girl next to him glared at her and the boy even more, and her eyes seemed to be bursting with fire.

Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle a few times, and her soft and boneless body leaned over. With a chuckle in his mouth, he said, "Since Childe has come to this happy place, he should have fun in time, so why be formal?"

And Su Changan only felt a gust of fragrant wind coming, and there was a soft touch on his arm. He tried to back away, but the woman seemed to be glued to him, and the more he moved, the more he came into contact with him, which made him feel awkward and uncomfortable. In the end, I could only sit there stiffly, not daring to move.

At this time, several women who were leaning on Gu Ning and the others also began to act, and for a while, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping on the wine table. Only Su Mo and Xiahou Shuyu, one stared at Gu Ning, and the other stared at Su Changan. There was a lot of evil in her eyes, as if she wanted to kill.

"Childe hasn't told me your name yet?" Ruyan turned a deaf ear to Xiahou Shuyu's gaze, she gently blew the aroma on Su Changan's earlobe, and said softly.

Su Changan felt a tingle in his ears, and he couldn't tell whether it was comfortable or uncomfortable, so he subconsciously replied: "Su Su Chang'an." ”

The woman muttered in her heart, she seemed to have heard this name mentioned today, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while. She was about to tease Su Changan again, but at this moment, the little girl who was staring at another teenager suddenly jumped up.

Everyone was shocked, but saw Su Mo stand on the chair suddenly, her eyes were burning with flames, and she pointed at the woman who was pestering Gu Ning and scolded loudly: "You shameless woman!

The maid was stunned, as if she had never encountered such a situation, and did not know how to deal with it for a while. And some of the surrounding drinkers were also attracted by Su Mo's yelling, and pointed at Su Changan and the others.

But Ruyan glanced at the maid in time, and the maid understood, so she pouted and retreated sullenly.

"Childe, this confidante is a lover of personality, come and give you a toast. Ruyan stood up with a smile, picked up a wine glass, and said to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning was still very grateful to Ruyan for saving him from the entanglement of the maid, he hurriedly picked up the wine glass, got up and said: "Let the girl smile, I just rushed everywhere, and I didn't know that this was En, I just thought it was an ordinary restaurant, and I was offended, and I hope that the girl Haihan." Saying that, Gu Ning glanced at Ji Dao and Lin Ru, who were still being pulled by the maid, and the two said with a wry smile.

"Childe is polite, like smoke knows. As she spoke, she drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then tried her eyes at the other two maids, who were reluctant, but also knew that Ruyan and her mother were very close, so they also retreated indignantly.

Seeing this, Gu Ning hurriedly drank all the wine in the cup and said, "Thank you, girl." ”
