A man has clothes and a horse has a saddle. Dakui and the other six people can go to Xiangquanfang without any hindrance.
He came to Quanzhou with fresh clothes and angry horses. Da Kui knew that the news could not be blocked, but as long as he found Pan Lei in Xiangquanfang and captured him on the spot, there would not be much trouble. After all, this was still the world of the Ming Dynasty, just a mere The fifth-grade magistrate couldn't cause much trouble even if he thought about it.
A group of people entered the hall, and heard the faint sound of silk and bamboo. There were more than ten tables in the hall, and there were five or six people sitting around each table. Dakui couldn't help frowning: "Isn't this a hook fence? Why can't I see it?" Woman, if you look at the people sitting in the hall, they are just drinking tea and chatting. Occasionally, a waiter will carry a kettle and pass through to fill water for the guests.
What surprised Da Kui even more was that there were many guests standing around the hall, all of them whispering but not knowing what they were talking about.
When the waiter saw the guests arriving, he came over and asked attentively: "How many guests are there?"
Dakui said: "There are six of us, but this place is always full."
The waiter smiled and said, "I misunderstood objectively. A seat here costs one tael of silver. But I see that several of them are very wealthy people. There are also private seats upstairs. Each seat costs five taels of silver. I wonder if any of you are interested."
Dakui couldn't help but froze when he heard this. Shi Shi behind him asked: "Just sitting and chatting like this costs five taels of silver per seat."
The waiter chuckled and said, "My guest has misunderstood again. How can there be so many people here just sitting there?" The waiter smiled mysteriously and said, "In a while, a red girl from our place will come to perform a dance. The guest will see you then." It will definitely be a feast for the eyes, hehehehe,”
Everyone in Dakui looked at each other, but they didn't know what kind of medicine the waiter was selling in his gourd.
When the waiter saw that Dakui and others were all confused, he finally said: "Since our restaurant is the leading Gou Lan restaurant in Quanzhou, it naturally has its own merits. You must be here for the first time and you don't know the characteristics of our restaurant. There are more than ten red girls in total, all of them have the beauty of a country, and they are both talented and beautiful. Look at these guests, they all come here to see their beauty, and would rather pay a tael of silver. One seat, I would rather stand aside and wait for you, this explains everything,"
The waiter's words made Da Kuimao suddenly realize: "Oh, I dare you to believe that so many people here are perverts, but the sex is too fierce to this extent. One tael of silver per seat, just to catch a glimpse of the red girl."
Seeing the leftover dog, the stone, the broom, the dustpan, and the bench behind him, all five of them looked expectant. Dakui couldn't help but shook his head and said to the waiter: "Then buy a seat and lead the way."
"Okay," the waiter said, turning around and leaving. It turned out that there was a staircase on the left and right of the hall leading to the second floor. When I went upstairs, I saw that the second floor was divided into more than ten small single rooms with carved screens. There is a round table in each single room, with a chair on the left and right sides of the table. From the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of everything in the hall through the railings.
Dakui and others went upstairs and chose a single room with the widest view. Dakui took the seat first, followed by the five people standing on the left and right, including the leftover dog, the stone, the broom, the dustpan, and the bench.
The waiter was also well-informed and knew that Da Kui was no ordinary person. He couldn't help walking up to Da Kui and asked, "What would you like to order, sir?" After asking this question, he began to introduce: "We have sponge cake here. Sweet rolls, water chestnut cakes and other snacks, as well as melon seeds, peanuts, almonds and other snacks, teas including Longjing, Hongpao, Guanyin, Oolong and so on..."
Dakui waved his hand and said: "A pot of Longjing, and some random fruits,"
The waiter agreed and turned to leave, but Dakui reminded him: "Six cups," the waiter quickly agreed again, then turned and went downstairs.
As soon as the waiter left, Dakui turned around and ordered: "You can inquire privately and find out where Pan Lei is, and report back immediately as soon as there is any news." The five people, including the dog, the stone, the broom, the dustpan, and the bench, handed over their hands and took the order to separate. Went.
After a while, the waiter served tea. Dakui took out two taels of silver and put it on the waiter's tray. The waiter naturally thanked him profusely. Dakui smiled and said, "I am friends with Master Pan from Quanzhou. I heard that Pan Your Excellency is a frequent visitor here, but I don’t know where he is now,”
The waiter got the money and said with an attentive smile: "From the moment you walked in, I knew you had a good background. It is true that Mr. Pan is a frequent visitor here, but he is not in the front hall at the moment."
Dakui couldn't help asking: "There is also a back hall here,"
The waiter didn't hide anything, and said truthfully: "Our Xiangquanfang has two places to entertain guests. The front hall is full of ordinary spectators, and the back hall is where the ecstasy is," the waiter said with a mysterious smile on his face.
Da Kui knew very well that this place was divided into two parts, front and back, and there must be a back door. As an official of the imperial court, Pan Lei must not blatantly come in and out through the front door in a place like this, so he had to use the back door. Thinking of this, Da Kui couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If Pan Lei left through the back door, it would be nothing.
When the waiter saw Da Kui's expression, he couldn't help asking: "What is on your mind, sir? Since you are familiar with Master Pan, I will go and inform you."
Da Kui chuckled and said: "The best thing is that the envoy from Jiangnan Province will come to visit." After saying that, Da Kui took out his badge from his pocket and flashed it in front of the waiter. Da Kui also knew that in such a short time Pan Lei would definitely not know about the incident in Raozhou. If he knew about Da Kui's arrival, Pan Lei would definitely come to see him. After all, Da Kui, as the political envoy of Jiangnan Province, was a superior.
When the waiter saw the badge, he quickly bowed his head and said, "I'm so young but I can't see Mount Tai. Please forgive me." Even though he said this, there was no trace of fear on the waiter's face.
Dakui smiled and said, "You go ahead." After hearing this, the waiter backed away and went downstairs.
In just a moment, the five people including the leftover dog, the stone, the broom, the dustpan, and the bench also came back one after another. The five people all said that there was no big shot in the front hall. The five people including the leftover dog, the stone, the broom, the dustpan, and the bench had never seen Pan Lei. But as the prefect of Quanzhou, Pan Lei must always have one or two followers around him, but he didn't know that he had searched every private room and found no similar person.
Dakui said with a smile: "In this case, we can only knock on the mountain to scare the tiger. I have asked the waiter to pass the news. Pan Lei knows that I am here and will definitely come to see him. Just wait a moment and don't be impatient. Just wait patiently." Gou Sheng, Shitou , broom, dustpan, and bench, the five of them responded with a smile.
Just at this time, there was movement in the main hall of the hall. Only then did Da Kui notice that there was a table built in the main hall of the hall. This table was only two feet high and three feet square. It was probably used for playing and singing. The main hall On the right side were more than ten vocal groups, and on the left side there was a corner door. At this time, three women walked out of the corner door. The hall was originally full of voices. When these three women stepped onto the stage of the main hall, they suddenly The whole place was silent.
The leader of the three women is a beauty who is twenty years old, followed by two handsome maids in green clothes. If you want to know what beauty is, please look at her thighs. This beauty is only wearing a bright red tube top on her upper body and a pink light skirt on her lower body.
The gauze skirt is covered with a double-breasted green gauze gown. However, the tube top, the skirt and the gown are all a little thinner. The two mounds on the beauty's chest are tightly wrapped by the tube top, making these two points particularly prominent.
Two slender white and tender jade legs were looming in the green gauze skirt. Even though Dakui was eight feet away, he could clearly see the beauty of this beauty.
"My dear mother, this is too rough," Dakui couldn't help but feel his face getting hot. Maybe he always looks at people's faces first, but as soon as this woman appeared on the stage, everyone's attention was drawn to her, waiting for Dakui to go again
Looking at her face, I couldn't help but feel frightened again. In Dakui's impression, his oriole was already the most beautiful in the world, and he didn't expect to see such a beauty in this land of fireworks.
This beauty's eyebrows are like spring daisy, her eyes are full of autumn waves, her glance and smile are full of charming charm, her nose is small and her lips are a little bit pink, and her skin like cream is white and dazzling under the light.
Dakui clearly heard five grunts behind him, which must have been the sounds of his five subordinates swallowing their saliva.
Dakui shook his head secretly: "Hey, it's really useless, (Shandong dialect: useless)" He reached out and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
At this time, a boy in green clothes had already brought a high stool to the stage and placed it behind the beauty. The beauty turned around, took the pipa from the hand of the maid behind her, and sat on the high stool with her feet raised. This action even caused a burst of sighs from the audience.
Every movement and every expression of the green gauze beauty is so refined and otherworldly, just like Chang'e, the fairy in the lotus pond, making the world bow down.
There is a saying that goes: If you die under peonies, you will become a ghost even if you are a ghost. This is really a wise saying. At first Dakui didn't believe it, but now he has gained experience. Who can not be tempted by such a beautiful woman with some vulgar thoughts?
When Da Kui met Huang Ying, he chased thousands of miles to find the beautiful woman. If Da Kui had been asked to come here earlier, he didn't know how much trouble he would have caused. However, Da Kui's heart was entirely focused on Huang Ying at the moment. Even if there were thousands of beauties in the world, Da Kui would be the same.
The infatuated mind is as immovable as iron, but this does not hinder the observation.
As long as he keeps his true feelings, it is God's blessing. Da Kui doesn't dare to have any wrong thoughts.
The beauty sat down on the high stool and raised her eyes to signal to the child beside her. The child immediately raised her voice and said: "Sister Lian'er will order music for the audience today. The starting price is ten taels." As soon as she finished speaking, the audience suddenly exploded.
"A piece of music costs ten taels of silver, and you will be waiting to die after listening to it," Dakui couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart. Seeing how beautiful the woman named Lian'er was, the price of a piece of ten taels of silver was too much.
Unexpectedly, before the thought came to an end, a young man in green clothes in the hall had already walked up to the stage and took out a ten tael of silver from his arms and placed it on the table. Then the young man in green clothes turned around and said loudly: "My young master is offering silver."
"Twelve taels, order a song called "Die Lian Hua"," the young man said and walked back to his so-called young master.
Dakui couldn't help but be a little confused. Although the young master was dressed in rich clothes and looked quite upright, he had a sick look. He could tell at a glance that his family was not wealthy. He must have rented the clothes like those of his subordinates.
Yes, in an instant, Da Kui understood in his heart that this young master must be obsessed with Lian'er on the stage, so he came here to meet him. It turned out that the young master and Lian'er on the stage looked at each other and smiled, and the affection between them was unmatched by others.
Understood.
The pipa is filled with resentment and clear tones. At this time, Lian'er has opened her red lips and plucked the strings with her jade fingers to sing a song, but it is exactly "Butterflies in Love with Flowers": the flowers have faded to red and green, and the apricots are small. When swallows fly, people are surrounded by green water. There are few willow trees blowing on the branches, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world, there are swings in the wall, and there are people walking outside the wall, and the beauty in the wall laughs, and the laughter gradually disappears and becomes quieter, and the sentimental people are annoyed by the ruthlessness...
Listening to the sound of the string, you can know the elegant meaning. This young man loves Lian'er, but because he is in Goulan, he can only express his love for her in this way.
When the song stopped, two lines of clear tears were already left on Lian'er's flower-like face. After singing the song, without waiting for the high-fives and cheers from the audience to stop, she stood up and took the maid off the stage through the corner door. Backstage.
Dakui curiously looked at the young master again, with a look of loneliness and helplessness on his face. Dakui couldn't help but smile to himself: "This is the gold selling cave, but a scholar comes here to cause trouble. Isn't this asking for trouble?"
Seeing Lian'er walking away, the handsome young man probably didn't want to miss this place anymore. He turned around and walked out of the hall with the boy next to him in despair. Dakui couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. This young man was not even willing to spend money to buy a seat, but spent ten liang. To listen to a piece of music, ten taels of silver is not a small amount in the eyes of the people. This shows that this young man is really an infatuated person.
