The twilight was falling, and the streets, which had been silent for almost a whole day, seemed to wake up from sleep, and became bustling with traffic. Strings of red lanterns were lit up in the green buildings along the street, and the turtle slaves, peach willows, and green flowers of the women standing on the street soliciting customers were displayed, lighting up the nightlife of Chang'an City.
Xiao Jin curled his hands into his cuffs and stood outside the gate of the Narcissus Pavilion, stomping his feet to keep warm.
He is just a small handyman in the Narcissus Pavilion, who is in charge of leading the horses and guiding the way for the guests, and when he is lucky, he can get a lot of rewards, but more often he can only stand on the side of the street and blow the cold wind to look at the scenery, not to mention how boring it is.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd at the east end of the long street, and there was a burst of screams of young women.
Xiao Jin's spiritual head immediately came up, and there was a lively look, which was much more interesting than leading a horse. The men who come to this street to look for flowers and willows are mixed, and there are all three religions and nine streams, and it is common to fight for the wind, jealousy, and fights. In three days, the green buildings were smashed at both ends, and those who were reckless and did not find out the depth of the opening of the business, and the stores that had not been properly set up and down, or the backstage was not hard enough, had to close the door after half a day.
Xiao Jin hurriedly stood on tiptoe and looked at the place where the accident occurred, but he was stunned.
I saw that the carriages and horses on the street were busy avoiding both sides, and four young men in brocade clothes rode head-on.
On the left, a person with a white horse and a white robe looks like Pan An, the jade tree is charming and elegant in the wind, and a pair of peach blossom eyes are full of affection.
To his right is a handsome young rider with a proud expression, wearing a pale gold coat that stands out from the crowd, with a domineering and domineering face.
Looking further to the right, he is obviously a good young man who concentrates the advantages of his ancestors, but unfortunately he looks like he is underbeaten, and there is a bad smile on the corner of his lips, and he looks like a local tyrant wearing gold and silver.
The one on the far right is different, Xiao Jin knows at a glance that Lu Dao must be a child of a poetic and drunken family, brocade clothes and jade with a folding fan in his hand, gentle and elegant and uninhibited, two poetic eyes keep discharging around, and most of the screams from girls on the street are directed at him.
Xiao Jin rubbed his eyes vigorously, although he said that he had not been in the industry for a long time, but he ushered in countless people every day, it is really rare to see such a handsome and chic son, and looking at their glamorous dress, they must not worry about money, at least the family does not worry about money. And, most importantly, they clearly came straight to the Narcissus Pavilion-
It's just that the young man in brocade on the right looks more and more familiar, as if it's ...... The eldest grandson Wuji?
The girls on both sides of the long street could hardly keep their composure, desperately pushing aside the crowd and waving the champas in their hands despite the flying horses' hooves. If you can let the eyes of the four sons stay on you for a second longer, even if you want to offer a hot kiss, you are willing.
The four of them drove side by side to show off their might, as if there was no one around, and they seemed to be singing to the moon while walking.
Xiao Jin pricked up his ears and tried to listen carefully, vaguely, vaguely, these guys sang "We are pests, we are pests"?
Before he could figure out the mystery and infinite philosophical thoughts contained in the lyrics, he suddenly felt an overwhelming wave of heat behind him, knocking Xiaojin to the ground.
A large group of beautiful women who were singing and dancing swarmed out of the Narcissus Pavilion, stepped on Xiao Jin's aggrieved back and rushed to the street, shook the veil at the four beautiful men who came to them, and scrambled to sing: "Hot and handsome guys are our expectations, and it is most comfortable to sing while shouting all night." If we want to sing, we must sing the most heartily, you are the most beautiful cloud in my sky, let me leave you with my heart...... Pour a full of wine to leave you behind, and sing the most dazzling Tang style leisurelyββ"
Not to be outdone, Xiao Jin got up from the feet of countless beauties, opened his throat and shouted: "When I heard the moving nature in your heart, it was suddenly like a night of spring breeze hitting and peach blossoms blooming all over my face. I can't help but pick it, I can't help it, I open my mind to wait for you, ...... Master, please among the four of you!"
The four horses stood in front of the Narcissus Pavilion in unison, and the four of them condescendingly looked at Xiao Jin, who had a gray face and a nosebleed.
The eldest grandson Wuji took out a piece of silver weighing three or five taels and threw it to him, and asked: "Sister Chun, tell her that my eldest grandson Wuji is here, I want the best private room, the best musician, which is the most high-grade in your Narcissus Pavilion." There is no need to ask about the delicacies of the mountains and seas, four or five hundred taels of silver is only the starting price, and what bear's paw bird's nest and gentian phoenix liver are all packed in large pots. There should be a garden behind the private room, there should be a bath inside, and there will be a row of big eaters and turtle slaves outside. The girls are all from the top brand, either Goguryeo or Jiangnan beauties, if you want to get a coal digger in Shanxi, I am embarrassed to ask my brother to consume. How much do you think it's going to cost - two thousand silver? You underestimate me? Whatever it is, it's going to be gold. I don't want to ask the price, and I don't need you to discount it, my son is here to have fun. Do you know what it means to have fun? To have fun is not to ask for the best but to ask for the most expensive, because I want to!"
"Master, this is going to be ...... Crazy!" Xiao Jin was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but gasp, and suddenly crawled into the Narcissus Pavilion, shouting: "Boss, there are distinguished guests, and they are four successful people!"
Looking at Xiao Jin's stumbling back, Eldest Sun Wuji turned his head to look at the three accomplices who came with him. The four of them nodded in unison, and said with all their hearts: "Tonight, if you don't succeed, you will become an adult!" dismounted and strode into the Narcissus Pavilion together.
At this time, a beautiful woman with a pink-faced face and a coquettish posture came down from upstairs, and shouted at Xiao Jin: "What are you screaming, who is not a distinguished guest who came to our Narcissus Pavilion to have fun?"
Xiao Jin flashed sideways, and looked behind his fingers at the proprietress and didn't dare to say more.
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly a pair of eyes as big as copper bells turned into seductive and charming eyes.
But seeing the four beautiful men coming in from outside the door, all of them were heroic and approaching, and their eight eyes looked at her in unison.
The proprietress felt that her heartbeat suddenly stopped, her legs were weak, her hand touched her chest, and she almost lost her mind: "Several masters, they are all here......"
Speaking of which, she also had the reputation of "the first spring of the Tang Dynasty" back then, since she hooked up with Yang Fengfeng last year, and retired to the background to become the proprietress of Narcissus Pavilion, she no longer accepts customers. But over the years, there have been many rich and wealthy gentry who have interacted with the family disciples, but they have never been so instructive in front of them, and they can't help but sigh that they were born at the wrong time.
The eldest grandson Wuji took advantage of the moment when the proprietress was distracted, stepped forward two steps forward and hugged her slender waist and laughed: "Sister Chun, I brought three friends to cheer you on today, they are all rich financiers, as long as you have fun, the bounty is trivial." β
The proprietress lay in the arms of the eldest grandson Wuji and gave him a white look, and said angrily: "Eldest grandson, as soon as you come, you will do something to the slave family, be careful that someone will be jealous." β
The place where Murong Xiaobai was standing happened to be the closest to the two of them, and said quietly: "Why didn't he move his hands and feet, I'm afraid that even his mouth will move." β
The proprietress looked Murong Xiaobai up and down through the shoulders of the eldest grandson Wuji, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, but she felt itchy and difficult to endure the rippling spring love, and then saw Li Yifeng and Diao Xiaosi on the left and right, more like a hundred claws scratching her heart, and she couldn't wait to hug her left and right one by one.
She secretly pinched the flesh of the eldest grandson Wuji's arm, and asked in a greasy voice, "......Who are these three sons?"
Li Yifeng ignored it and said coldly: "Who do you care who we are, why don't you go and vacate the best private room?"
"The best of the best...... Yes. Four sons, the largest Baifeng Hall here today has been booked by the early guests, and now it is being accompanied by the girls to drink, I ...... another"
Diao Xiaosi said disapprerovingly: "There are many of us, so we like a bigger place." The matter of Baifeng Hall, the proprietress will not be able to handle it?" with a shake of his hand, he stuffed a silver ticket into the proprietress half-naked bandeau, waved his hand and said, "Let's take a rest here, have a cup of tea first, and wait for you to vacate the place." β
The proprietress blinked and shouted, "Girls, quickly greet the four distinguished guests for tea!" turned her head and went upstairs, thinking in her heart how to coax the guests in the Baifeng Hall to change places, at most she would give some sweetness. After all, good business doesn't happen every day, and if you want to make a lot of money and make a fortune, catering to the requirements of your customers is more important than anything else.
However, until the four people downstairs drank a pot of tea, they still didn't see the proprietress go downstairs, but heard a commotion upstairs, obviously the guests in the Baifeng Hall did not buy the account of the proprietress of the Narcissus Pavilion.
Li Yifeng stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go up and have a look?"
When the four of them came upstairs, they saw Sister Chun holding a champa with tears in her eyes and pitifully explaining to the guests in the house, what kind of wine is free overnight, and the conditions of losing power and humiliating the building were also opened, but the other party just refused. One of the middle-aged men pointed his finger at Sister Chun from Laozi to Zhuangzi, from Confucius to Mencius, from Spring and Autumn to the Book of Songs, and a set of rhetoric came out of his mouth.
The eldest grandson Wuji walked in the middle of the four and said in a low voice: "This guy is from Zhongshu Province, that old guy ha...... It's Liu Wenjing, he's also here, no wonder the boss lady wants to say good things with a smile. β
Diao Xiaosi looked through the carved flower pole of the Baifeng Hall, and saw a familiar figure sitting high in the middle, holding a girl with charming eyes in his arms and refusing to let go.
I think that Liu Wenjing is one of the dragon fathers who raised troops in Taiyuan, and Li Yuan has both the righteousness of a monarch and a friend. This time, he took a huge risk to go out of Cyprus to lobby the Turks, and finally succeeded in completing the mission of the mission, and he became famous for his hard work. Not to mention that a small Narcissus Pavilion proprietress didn't dare to provoke him, even the boss's good friend Yang Fengfeng and his backer Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, had to be in awe of him a little.
Li Yifeng doesn't care who Liu Wenjing is, in his eyes, isn't that a domestic slave of Li Yuan, isn't it just a bad old man who is eating imperial grain and rubbing oil and water at the same time?
He slammed the door open, pointed at the group of people in the room and said coldly, "What are you talking about, get out!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and it turns out that readers have backbone. Since childhood, I have read poetry and books, and of course I know what it means that wealth and nobility cannot be lewd, mighty and unyielding, and poor and lowly cannot be moved, so one by one they were filled with righteous indignation and reprimanded angrily: "Where did the yellow-mouthed child come from, he dared to speak wild words and be presumptuous here?"
There are a few people here who also recognize the eldest grandson Wuji, but since there is Liu Wenjing, the head of the household department, and Lord Liu here, even if Li Shimin, the king of Qin, comes, he has to bow down and call Uncle Liu in a proper manner.
The middle-aged man sitting next to Liu Wenjing was so angry that he shivered, pointed at Li Yifeng and said, "You, you, you...... Little brute! Can there be a king's law in his eyes, but there can be Confucius and Mencius? The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient...... Ahh
Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly bounced up, flew out of the back window, and fell into the pool in the garden with a pop, making a large splash.
The adults in the room couldn't help but lose their voices in shock, Murong Xiaobai shook the sleeves of his robe as if nothing happened, and stood sideways behind Diao Xiaosi.
