Chapter Thirty-Eight: Yangzhou City, Huaxiu Xiaoqi
Chapter 38: Yangzhou City, Hua Xiu Xiaoqi
Yangzhou City!
A land under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan is adjacent to a huge lake - West Lake!
Together with the city of Hangzhou on the other side of the West Lake, it is also known as the two land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River and the land of abundance!
Yangzhou city is densely covered with lakes and rivers, with beautiful scenery and profound cultural heritage.
The prosperity of Yangzhou City at night is also reflected in the city street scene at night. Songs are blowing in the sky and Sheng songs are spread throughout the city. In the shimmering and blurred dance pavilions and song towers, girls dance gracefully, and there are crowds of tourists on the streets.
Every time the city faces the evening, there are always tens of thousands of crimson gauze lanterns on top of the tower, shining brightly in the sky.
Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, only the night view of Yangzhou City can be compared with the capital Chang'an where thousands of lights are displayed!
In addition, Confucianism and Taoism are also extremely prosperous in Yangzhou City. Many scholars will write poems and articles here to praise Yangzhou City, and even occasionally county-level poems and articles are published!
This kind of treatment is difficult to enjoy in other state capitals of the Tang Dynasty.
In broad daylight, there is no shortage of people in Yangzhou City, with people coming and going on the streets.
“Shaobing!”
“Donkey meat on fire!”
"Candied haws!"
“Thousand-feuille cake!”
"Wow!!! That thousand-layer cake looks delicious! I want to buy it!" Li Hongying, who was fascinated by the dazzling array of Yangzhou snacks along the way, suddenly ran to a small vendor.
Li Xingyun, who was standing behind, said silently in his heart: "Calm down, I chose the place. No matter what she does, I have to follow her."
Then...Li Xingyun, holding bags after bags of snacks in his arms, walked towards the direction where Li Hongying was running.
"Boss, two servings!"
"Two portions! Auntie, aren't you afraid of getting fat?" Li Xingyun decisively and tactfully dissuaded her.
"One portion is for you, you should eat it too, so that you don't have to say that your stomach is full of ink and it's so pitiful that you didn't order anything good..." Li Hongying didn't realize there was any meaning in Li Xingyun's words.
If all the scholars in the world were to be like him, pour out the ink in their stomachs and load them all with these local snacks, then Confucianism and Taoism would be over.
Even though Li Hongying watched eagerly as the thousand-layer cake came out of the cage, Li Xingyun followed her.
I just hope that her flat belly can survive such abuse by its owner.
The two of them walked along the main streets of Yangzhou City and wandered around.
"There seems to be a lot of people gathering over there, and it's lively!" Li Hongying, who never liked to be absent from the excitement, immediately smiled and walked forward with a spear in hand.
"I take back what I said before. This is not a thigh that can be hugged. She is simply a little witch who can't take any time off!" Once again, I deeply realized the deep fear of the princess of Tiance Mansion among the many people in Chang'an.
However, in this place, the two of them were friends, so they couldn't just let it go.
With arms full of snacks, Li Xingyun followed.
The two of them stood outside the crowd and noticed some commotion in the crowd.
"Look! It's the flower show of Qixiufang!"
"What a beautiful girl, she is like a flower in bud, one can't help but want to kiss her."
"Shut up! You can covet the flower show in Qixiufang! Who in the whole Yangzhou city doesn't respect the fairies of Qixiufang. They fight against the evil spirits in the dark and save an army of people. Be careful not to be listened to.
, drag you directly to Qixiufang to plead guilty!"
Li Xingyun heard the conversation between the two people in front of him. One of them just said a word of admiration, but the person next to him glared in response and yelled loudly.
"Hey, Hongying, what's the origin of Qixiufang?" Li Xingyun asked, looking at Li Hongying who was looking around to see clearly what was going on inside. During the three days of traveling, the two of them were almost inseparable and their relationship was very close.
Commensurate by name.
Tiance Mansion was deeply involved with all the major forces in the world, and he thought that the princess of Tiance Mansion should know some inside information.
But he overestimated Li Hongying's brains. As a gun-loving girl, she had so much free time. Apart from going to the major markets in Chang'an to join in the fun, where could she devote herself to keeping track of sect matters in the world.
On the other hand, others heard his question and looked at him curiously.
Asked: "Looking at the clothes this brother is wearing, he looks like a scholar. Are you not a local?"
"Brother, I am a Tongsheng from Chang'an. Please clarify my doubts." Li Xingyun asked, cupping his fists.
Sometimes, Confucian etiquette can quickly establish friendship and get the news you want to know.
Soon, when the man saw that Li Xingyun recognized his identity as a scholar, he showed more respect and started to explain for him.
"Qixiu Fang is as famous as Jiaofangsi, one of the two most elegant places in the Tang Dynasty. However, Jiaofangsi is famous for its style, while Qixiufang is famous for elegance. All of them are upright officials, and they were all praised by the former Qixiufang master.
The adopted orphan girls are all excellent women with both sexual and artistic skills. Whether they are dignitaries, literati, or young talents from all major powers, they all want to marry a beautiful woman.
.”
"There are seven fairy-like and beautiful women in the show, who represent music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and wine respectively! In these seven skills, Yangzhou City is unique! The girl who is rescuing people in front of me is the flower show of this session.
, titled: Dance among the Flowers.”
Following the man's introduction, Li Xingyun finally understood.
The Qixiufang of Emotions is quite famous, and the women in the show are not only stunningly beautiful, but also have extremely kind hearts.
There was a lot of commotion in the inner circle, and some people were moving, giving way to some sight lines.
Li Xingyun also saw clearly the true appearance of the so-called Hua Xiu.
The girl was wearing a purple dress, and her appearance was just as the brother said, she was truly stunning, with an alluring appearance!
Her thin and curved eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a somewhat anxious look appeared on her elegant face, which made people feel pity for her.
His eyes moved slightly downward, and he saw that his waist was very slender, and his pair of jade-white feet under the purple skirt were very fair.
Huajianwu has a very nice name and the person is even more beautiful.
It's just...did the other party encounter any difficulties? His face looked a little anxious.
"Is there any Confucian scholar willing to help?" the girl dancing among the flowers said in a leisurely voice, her tone somewhat urgent.
"Confucian scholar?" Li Hongying, who was next to Li Xingyun, glanced at him and asked, "Why don't you go forward and help that little beauty?"
"Whatever your status, I'm afraid there are many Confucian scholars who want to help, so why join in the fun."
As expected, just after Li Xingyun finished speaking, he heard several Confucian scholars surrounding him rushing forward.
"Miss Hua Xiu, I am an eighth-grade Confucian scholar. I don't know how to help Miss Hua Xiu?"
"The young man is also an eighth-grade scholar and is willing to help Miss Hua Xiu."
The girl in the middle, Huajianwu, saw a Confucian scholar coming forward, so she didn't waste any time.
Explain in public: "This person was injured by a demon and barbarian. The injuries were all over his organs, and wolf's poison was flowing through his meridians. Although I can remove the wolf's poison in his meridians, if the injuries on his organs are not healed, he will still not survive for an hour!!
"
"Healing the injuries of the internal organs..." Upon hearing this, the few Confucian scholars who came forward were all embarrassed.
They really wanted to help, but they couldn't.
"Didn't anyone among you understand the Mingzhou poem that was published in Wen Dao a few days ago?" Huajianwu asked when seeing the silence of several people.
One of the scholars was a little surprised and said: "What Miss Hua Xiu means is that 'clear water produces hibiscus and naturally removes the carvings', which can cure the injuries in his internal organs???"
