Chapter 2 Who Is Deep in the Yard

Chang'an was indeed the center of the Tang Empire and the largest city in the world at that time.

The entire city of Chang'an is centered on a tall tower, with rows of houses on both sides.

There are many teahouses, wine shops, pawnshops and workshops on both sides of the street.

Li Jiuzhou made no secret of his inner excitement and said with emotion: "Chang'an City is really spectacular."

Zhang Xiaoluo came closer, tugged on the corner of his clothes, pointed forward and said, "Alang, he is from the Taiping Association."

It turns out that today is the Qingming Festival.

On the Jiqing Square, after several gongs sounded, teams wearing different costumes, including the dragon dance team, fish lantern team, horse lantern team, and beast lantern team, began to dance.

At the end of the team, a boy sat on an old ox with a red flower on its head, and came slowly.

This outfit reminded Li Jiuzhou of the shepherd boy "pointing to Xinghua Village in the distance" in the poem, and he couldn't help laughing.

The Taiping Association was very lively, and in an instant, he and Zhang Xiaoluo were dispersed by a sea of ​​people.

"Zhang Xiaoluo, where did you die?" Li Jiuzhou couldn't see Zhang Xiaoluo, so he called several times but got no answer, so he had to walk through the crowd and look for him alone.

Pedestrians on the road want to die.

Along the road, I saw heartbroken and mournful pedestrians mourning their loved ones.

Although Li Jiuzhou did not believe in ghosts and gods, he was still timid, so he quickened his pace.

After searching for a long time, it was getting late. Li Jiuzhou felt a little tired and leaned against the wall to rest.

Li Jiuzhou hadn't rested long when a little girl dressed as a maid came up to her and said, "Mr. Lang, my master has invited me to greet you in the mansion."

Li Jiuzhou was surprised that he didn't know anyone well in Beijing, so he asked: "Who is your master?"

The maid laughed loudly and said softly: "You will know when your husband is gone."

Seeing how this maid is dressed, she must belong to a wealthy family.

Li Jiuzhou wondered whether a powerful person had taken a fancy to him, or perhaps his ancestors and old friends knew his identity and came to invite him, so he said: "Please lead the way."

The maid led him through an alley and into a small door.

After not walking far, we arrived in front of the mansion. There was a tall white wall, but no plaque.

Li Jiuzhou asked: "What place is this?"

The maid didn't answer and led him in through the side door on the wall.

Along the way, you can see only white stone corridors, green trees, brilliant red flowers, and colorful mandarin ducks and white cranes playing in pairs by the pool.

The courtyard is very dense, and every time you pass through a door, as soon as you step in, the maid turns around and locks the door.

Li Jiuzhou couldn't help but be a little suspicious: Why did she lock the door, but judging from the appearance of this wealthy family, it didn't look like she was seeking wealth or murder.

I wasn't afraid at all, I had already arrived in the courtyard, and when I looked along the corridor, I saw that it was very different from the outside.

Outside there are tall willows and trees, but inside there are lush green bamboos, which reflect the green eaves of the corridor.

At the end of the corridor is a pavilion, with the words Sixu Pavilion inscribed on the plaque.

Li Jiuzhou looked at it for a long time and saw that the words should be inscribed by Li Bai.

He had already studied Li Bai's handwriting thoroughly.

Besides Yang Guifei, Li Bai was the other person he wanted to see when he traveled here.

The maid bowed and said, "Master, please stay here for a moment. The master will be here soon." After that, she ran away.

Not knowing when the results would be released, Li Jiuzhou was not in a hurry and admired the scenery in the garden with great interest.

Li Jiuzhou had never seen such a beautiful pavilion scenery before. He wondered what kind of house this was that had such a courtyard.

I have no relatives or friends in the capital, so who would want to see me?

While he was hesitating, the door behind the pavilion creaked open, revealing two maids in green clothes, but no master.

Li Jiuzhou hurriedly asked: "Where is your master?"

The two maids stared at Li Jiuzhou again and again, and smiled at each other. A maid came forward and said with a smile: "Master invites you to meet me in the inner building."

Such a big arrogance, but so rude, Li Jiuzhou was a little angry, "Who is your master, and why did you ask the female envoy to invite you?"

The maid still smiled and said: "Mr. Sir, there is no need to be angry. You will know when the time comes."

As soon as you step into the door, you can see the towering painting building and the flowers blooming in front of the building.

Two more maids came down from upstairs and surrounded Li Jiuzhou upstairs.

The furnishings in the house are extremely gorgeous, and the wonderful aroma of ambergris is hot in the stove on the table, but the owner is still missing.

Pretending to be mysterious, Li Jiuzhou was patient and wanted to see what kind of person this master was.

"Madam is here." There was a sudden voice, and when she looked up, she saw a beautiful woman walking out slowly surrounded by several maids.

Li Jiuzhou slapped his head, he should have thought that the master was a woman.

If you look carefully, you can't help but be stunned.

This lady is tall and tall, her face is like a peach blossom, her eyes are full of autumn water, her eyebrows are sweeping the spring mountains, her waist is lightly swaying, and she is fragrant and beautiful, as if she has stepped out of a painting.

The lady had already approached. Li Jiuzhou had never seen such a beauty before. Knowing her noble status, he hurriedly stepped back, lowering his head to avoid her.

Unexpectedly, the maid behind him supported him and said, "Mr. Sir, don't panic, Madam is about to meet you."

Although Li Jiuzhou traveled to this place to abduct Yang Guifei, he was still young and did not know much about men and women.

He immediately blushed with embarrassment and said, "Who are you, Xiaosheng? How dare you meet my wife?"

The lady spoke, and said in a cooing voice: "I don't know what your surname is."

It was obvious that she had sent someone to invite her here, but why did she ask for her name instead?

Li Jiuzhou was suspicious and did not dare to tell the truth, so he made up a false name, "I am Li Qi. I entered the house by mistake. I hope my wife will forgive me."

After saying that, he bowed deeply.

The lady returned the gift, but her pretty eyes kept looking at him.

"You and I are destined to be together. Sir, please take a seat."

Li Jiuzhou was young, handsome, and talented. His wife saw that he was polite and courteous, and she fell in love with him even more.

Seeing him standing there stupidly, he moved forward, stretched out his jade hand and pulled him to sit down.

Li Jiuzhou was a little flattered and asked: "Don't you know your wife's name?"

The lady did not answer, but said directly: "I dreamed of a green luan last night, flying to the small building. Today, my husband is here, just in response to the omen. I will be a noble man in the future, so there is no need to be too modest."

Li Jiuzhou saw that she refused to tell her, so he stopped asking.

But there were still clouds of doubt in his heart, what on earth was this lady doing with him?

The maid offered a cup of tea, and the lady ordered wine.

Li Jiuzhou was afraid of getting drunk and causing trouble, so he stood up and wanted to leave.

The lady chuckled and said, "My concubine is far away and there are no outsiders here, but it's okay to stay here."

Li Jiuzhou thought that all the doors outside were locked and he couldn't get out, so he had no choice but to sit down.

Not long after, the maid had prepared a banquet, and Madam took Li Jiuzhou to sit with her and drink together.

The maids took turns holding the cups, and they handed each other a glass. Li Jiuzhou was so drunk that he became drunk after a while.

It was late at night and everyone was quiet. My wife ordered people to light candles, but there was no intention to disperse.

The wine was already half full, and Li Jiuzhou was not completely drunk yet, for fear of missing the time when the results would be released.

Even if beauty accompanies it, after all, the scientific examination is the big deal.

So he stood up and asked to leave again: "We've finished drinking, can you allow me to leave?"

The lady stood back, with a smile on her face, took Li Jiuzhou's hand and said, "Although the excitement of drinking is gone, the spirit of spring is still strong. It is God's will to meet you today. How can we let such a good night go to waste?"

Li Jiuzhou already understood what she meant. He looked up and saw the flirtatious look between her brows and eyes. She was so charming that he couldn't help but feel a little obsessed.

As a result, Li Jiuzhou couldn't resist, so he took advantage of the wine and became bold.

People have seven emotions and six desires.

Anyone who is unmoved by Yan Ye at present, unless he is a great sage or great hero, must be a fool.

Li Jiuzhou and the lady were in love with each other. They were in love with each other and entered the boudoir, where they spent the night together.

Beauty kills a crazy young man, but Li Jiuzhou missed a big deal because of his beauty.
