After the fire exploded, applause and laughter rang out, and there was a faint smell of burning fire in the air. Bamboo Records on a spring night, the performances in the building were still going on, including singing and dancing, magic, juggling, cross talk, and the girls in Fanlou.
Responsible for half of the performance projects
, the dinner party has actually come to an end. Since many people in the building know each other, they are still watching the performance or chatting with each other, discussing today's performance and Ning Yi's new poem. From the perspective of an operator,
, the atmosphere was harmonious and successful.
After waiting upstairs for a while, Ning Yi felt that Gao Muen might not come, and Ning Yi actually had some doubts in his heart. However, for people like Gao Muen, we really shouldn't use common sense to speculate. As I heard from Fujian, then
Nothing the guy does is surprising.
As for Wenren Fuer, he came here. In addition to communicating with Ning Yi about today's arrest, he also mentioned the news about Chen Fan in a sideways way.
"... This morning, in addition to the Heshuo duo, news came from Xi Guishan that a remnant of Yongle came into the city specifically to find you. I wanted to get rid of him, but it was a pity that I was a step too late and let him
Ran away."
"Oh, is there such a thing?"
"Oh, I haven't found out the specific identity of this person, but it is said that he is very powerful in martial arts." Wenren Buer looked at him, "You ruined the Yongle bandits' big deal, he must have bad intentions when he comes to you.
Do you need me to send you extra manpower?"
Ning Yi also laughed: "It is said that there are more than one or two people with strong martial arts who died in our hands. Why is Brother Wenren so nervous? The remnants of Fang La's side... that is, they have been defeated.
, No matter who it is, I don’t think there is any need to mobilize troops.”
Wenren Fujier said: "I'm also afraid of causing trouble in the capital. You also know that the affairs of the Yongle Dynasty have come to an end recently, but it is also the most tense time. The Ministry of Punishment is investigating very strictly... If it goes on for a while
Time has passed, so there is no need to think about it."
He put his hands on the railing of the terrace. After saying this, he took out a breath. Ning Yi looked at him doubtfully: "What is Brother Wenren referring to?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, then Wenren Fuji spread his hands and shrugged: "I don't know what I'm talking about either, but I'll just pretend that you know."
Ning Yi looked thoughtful. He naturally understood the meaning of the reminder, but no matter what the friendship between the two parties was, only a stupid and passionate young man would act tacitly on this position.
The two of them played riddles on this matter. Wenren Buer could not understand the thoughts of this always unpredictable young man, and soon changed the topic.
After separating from Wenren Buer, Ning Yi went to the back of Wanzhao Tower to look for Li Shishi.
He and Master Li had met once before, and the other party's expression was as usual. Since the light in the corridor was not bright at that time, Ning Yi did not see anything wrong with the other party. After subsequent performances, the other party's performance was completely worthy of the title of the number one oiran in the capital.
, presumably the rumor that she was beaten yesterday may not be true, or it may be exaggerated, but now that she has heard about it, Ning Yi still wants to go and see her.
When he arrived at the room on the second floor where Master Li was, the lights were off and it sounded quiet. He knocked on the door, and then the other party's voice came: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Ning Yi."
"Oh, wait."
Someone stood up in the room, and then the fire flickered a few times and the lamp was lit. When the door opened, the yellow light overflowed. It was Master Li who opened the door. She was still wearing the costume she wore during the performance - white with black borders.
A long skirt embroidered with red plum blossoms. Most of the deep clothes worn by men and women at this time were in the form of one-piece robes, which were somewhat similar to Hanfu·
But since it was for a performance, a belt was used to tighten the waist to accentuate the figure, and it was equipped with layered lace, making the dark coat look like a slightly blooming flower, slender and majestic. But the face should have already
After taking off her makeup, her smile looked pure, her bangs were turned to one side, and her long hair was slightly tied up, but she still looked elegant and elegant.
"Li Heng, come in."
"The performance is almost over, so I came over to take a look. Where is the maid next to you?"
"Sent me to pack my things, I'm alone."
There was only one lamp lit in the room, and the light was actually a little dim. The performance in the hall could actually be seen from the side through the window in front. At this time, it was slightly opened, and a chair was placed next to it. It was obvious that the performance had finished.
Shishi was alone in this dark room in front of the audience. After Ning Yi entered, Shishi asked him to sit down at the table, then pulled over the tea tray and started pouring water.
"I'll do it."
Ning Yi wanted to take over, but the woman glanced at him: "Who is good at this? Of course I will do it. By the way, I just watched those two people here talking about jokes. It was really interesting..." At this point,
Smile.
Ning Yi paid attention to her face. Although the light was dim, Ning Yi could vaguely see that there seemed to be a slight redness and swelling on the left side of her face: "Master, do you like this too?"
"I like it very much. Some of the tricks are also very interesting. I heard that you came up with these things, Li Heng?"
After pouring tea, Shishi sat down and discussed with him the performance outside for a while. She was the most outstanding person in Bianliang, so she naturally had the right to say how the performance was, but while she appreciated it, she was also vaguely aware of it.
The meaning of reminder.
Tonight's performance is actually not elegant, at least it is not the most popular performance mode among literati.
Among various performances, magic is similar to juggling, but juggling is usually some hard skills, similar to some performances that twist human bones that have been practiced since childhood. It takes a craftsman more than ten years to practice a skill, and it still remains
Will be classified as one of the three religions and nine streams. Even if the few little magic tricks that Ning Yi practiced by others are packaged as elegant and calm as possible, they may still be considered frivolous and unworthy of elegance.
And programs that make people laugh, such as cross talk, are more likely to make people feel that they can't make it to the big scene. With Master Li's knowledge of the literati circle, he naturally discovered the hidden worries and made circumstantial suggestions.
Although she was well-informed and spoke generously at this time, in Ning Yi's eyes and in future generations, she still looked like a girl. After hearing what she said, Ning Yi nodded and accepted it humbly: "However, the number of Zhu Ji's
I didn’t originally plan to open a store above, but I actually hope that the people who come will be as philistine as possible.”
"Oh?" Master Li looked a little confused.
"Haha, Zhuji is not going the high-end route. I will try my best to go in the mid-range or low-end direction. There are still a lot of businesses that need to be integrated with Zhuji... But these are just for now.
It's hard to say what the idea is, I just want to have as much influence as possible." After he said this, he paused slightly and said, "By the way, what happened to Gao Mu'en when you were in the Taiwei Mansion yesterday?"
Master Li was stunned for a moment, then blinked: "That guy...is he coming here to cause trouble?"
"Not yet, I just heard about such a thing."
"It's nothing." The teacher held up the tea cup and smiled, with green and white fingers. "He...he didn't dare to touch me. I have been in a brothel for so many years, and I always have a way to deal with these things."
"That slap on your face is not very convincing."
Shishi tilted his head and smiled: "Liheng, do you want to help me vent my anger?"
"Oh, I'm afraid I can't do anything with Gao Mu'en..." Ning Yi smiled, feeling more fond of the woman in front of him.
People in the world know best how to manipulate people. If she casually says "You don't have to worry about me" at this time, the other party will usually be embarrassed and will inevitably take the matter to their own hands. But since she said "You have to help me"
Am I taking it out on you?" But it often calms people down, indicating that the other person really has their own interests at heart.
After the master said that, he shook his head: "The power of the Taiwei Mansion depends on the appreciation of the current emperor. I also know that you are capable, Li Heng, but you really don't need to take this matter to heart. You have the capability.
·I am also very powerful. The name Li Shishi is said to be an oiran, but if people look up to you, that's it. If they don't give you face, you will end up being a prostitute.
Son. Over the years, this is not the first time that I have encountered embarrassing things, and it is not the first time that I have been slapped and beaten. Sometimes I was forced to drink until I vomited, and I had to laugh and vomit.
It has to look good. Yesterday at the Taiwei Mansion, Gao Yanei also took advantage of the opportunity to go crazy and was stopped by the Taiwei, so I took the opportunity to run away. Since I ran away, everything will be fine."
She looked up at Ning Yi, with a smile in her eyes, but also quite serious: "If this matter happened to others, I might want to pretend to be pitiful. But Liheng, Hezhong, you are different from others, I
Just a few of your friends.
Besides, Li Heng, you are well-informed and I just want to tell you the truth. I am an oiran and you are a big businessman, so I will definitely understand."
When she said this, her expression was relaxed and natural, which was different from the past. Obviously, yesterday's incident still had some impact on her. Ning Yi thought about it, but did not take advantage of it, and nodded. After a while,
, smiled and said: "The most troublesome thing about Gao Muen is that no matter what price you pay to kill him, it will not be worth it in the end, but he can bring a lot of trouble to others."
This was interesting, and Master Li laughed: "It doesn't matter how you ended up with him, you still have to be careful."
"There is a way." Ning Yi nodded, "However, except for the face, there is no other injury. It looks quite serious. I didn't pay attention to it before."
But Shishi shook his head: "There is no other place, this is not serious."
"It's still not gone after a day and a night, so there's no need to hold on."
"It's not because it's serious." Shishi reached out and tapped his cheek, smiling, "Because I'm tender."
It was the first time that Ning Yi discovered that Li Shishi had such an interesting side.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Ning Yi did not mention Gao Muen's matter again. Li Shishi obviously took this as a sign that he accepted the opinions humbly. In a society with extremely obvious class differences, people are more willing to accept that the situation is stronger than the person.
The fact that, in a sense, means that I was bullied by the Taiwei Mansion, so I endured it without being embarrassed.
That night, until the guests left one after another, Gao Mu'en, who threatened to come and cause trouble, did not show up. Song Yongping returned home and guessed that Ning Yi might have nipped the matter in the bud. He felt a bit esoteric about this brother-in-law.
Measure it.
And Ning Yi himself didn't understand. In fact, they didn't expect that the truth of the matter was not complicated. When Ning Yi felt that it was not worth paying the price to kill Gao Mu'en, Gao Mu'en also felt that he had to pay the price to make Ning Yi unhappy.
The price is a loss-making business.
"That guy is a disaster!" That night, Gao Mu'en was quite frank to a group of dandy boys who were summoned, "I have been bored at home for half a year! I'm finally back, brothers! That guy named
Ning Liheng’s guy, ever since I met him,
Nothing good has ever happened! It's very easy to fuck him, but if something happens again, I've only been out for a day! I haven't even played with girls yet. If I'm punished and can't go out again, I'll die!" He said
Spreading his hands, "Everyone, tell me! Do I look like a fool!?"
Maybe because he looked so different, no one answered this question for a while. In fact, dandies usually have excessive self-awareness and insufficient vision, and there are not many real fools. Gao Muen borrowed this question from Li Shishi at home
Gao Qiu finally allowed him to go out. He didn't want to be imprisoned immediately. That night, he brainstormed and decided to be a person who would not be discovered if he was hiding. Gao Ming
The mastermind behind.
Soon after, everyone came up with many ideas, and then went to play with women happily...
