Liu E was thoughtful after listening to Lan Jizong's words, nodded slightly and said: "What you said makes sense, such a woman is amazing, no wonder Zhao Zong said that she was so constrained by her that he even lost the Huancai Tower!
"
Lan Jizong said with a smile: "This is my mother's clear warning. Qi Guogong is a dignified prince who wants to torture his beloved. How can he rape a daughter of the people?"
Touching the small black box in her hand, Liu E said: "Qin Mumu has been summoned to visit you, and I want to talk to her!"
After receiving the decree, Lan Jizong sighed in his heart, this Qin family is not easy, it is really not easy for an oiran to be appreciated by the empress!
Lan Jizong was glad that he could invite the Qin family to the palace as an emissary. This was an extremely wonderful thing. How noble was the empress? She was actually willing to summon an oiran. If this matter spread, it would definitely be
It caused a stir in the entire dynasty.
Of course, Lan Jizong also knew that this was against the norm. Even after the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival every year, the late emperor only summoned the oiran at Xuandemen or Jinmingchi.
Inviting an oiran into the palace is a unique honor and a supreme honor for a woman. It is a pity that there is no family behind the Qin family that can bear this honor. Otherwise, it will definitely be a blessing to the family!
He put on the most decent clothes. For Lan Jizong, this court dress not only represented his identity, but also represented the face of the Tian family. Although the eunuchs in the palace were of low quality, the clothes on his body were all made of Shu brocade.
Such good stuff.
A man dies for a man who pleases him, and a woman looks for a man who pleases her. This is a simple truth. Qin Mumu's respect for him is like recognition of him.
Not paying attention to his identity is a kind of inexplicable recognition, just like a playful girl and the uncle next door in the sprinkler lane next to my house.
The more he lacks something, the more he longs for it. Thinking of how he was teased by Qin Mumu, Lan Jizong couldn't help but smile. The servants nearby were all surprised when they saw his ancestor smile like this.
coming?
The carriage made a clattering sound on the stone road and turned to Nanmen Street. The former Huancai Building and now Lan Kwai Fong can be regarded as a wonder on Nanmen Street.
The reason why Huancai Building is called Huancai Building is because the Huanmencai Building is the front door, but now it has been replaced by pots of elegant orchids, and in front of the door is the osmanthus tree that spreads its fragrance for ten miles.
After Qin Mumu changed her name, she wrote a tribute in front of Lan Kwai Fong.
"Orchid is the gentleman among flowers! Osmanthus is the beauty among flowers!"
Acquiring Lan Kwai Fong is the ideal of a gentleman and a beautiful lady. How can the world not flock to it?
Lan Jizong has been to many brothels. Although they are all places where Qing courtiers come to entertain themselves and sing, but in comparison, this Lan Kwai Fong is very different.
The bit of animality and wild wolf that the scholars had in the brothel here has long been suppressed and hidden somewhere. If someone is rude and rude in Lan Kwai Fong, there is no need for the store to shout at them. The literati and poets who come here are even
Officials can knock out things that disturb people's interest.
It was a very wise decision for the empress to let the Qin family buy Lan Kwai Fong at any price. Although it was to punish Qi Guogong Zhao Zongshuo for his fault, it was also a good thing that benefited the city of Tokyo. At least those literati had curbed their prostitution habits.
many.
Lan Kwai Fong is not a place for prostitutes. This is a rule set by Qin Mumu long ago. All women are well-trained "dancers" and "singers".
Thinking of this, Lan Jizong couldn't help but sigh slightly. The most basic thing in Lan Kwai Fong is respect for these women who are dancers and singers. Otherwise, no matter how much money they have, they will not be able to enter the gate of Lan Kwai Fong.
After getting off the carriage, Lan Jizong entered the small gate of Lan Kwai Fong's side courtyard with the help of a chamberlain. He also wanted to enter through the main entrance, but Lan Kwai Fong was also open to welcome guests during the day.
If his identity were lost, it would be too eye-catching, and people from Yushitai would inevitably be targeted.
Thinking about those young censors who were not even spared by civil servants, Lan Jizong couldn't help but spit.
These censors are vicious dogs trained by the Tian family. They not only bite people, but also bite their owners. The empress was not less angry with these people, but she finally tolerated it.
The scale of Lan Kwai Fong is not small. The colorful building in the front is a three-story wooden building covering an area of several acres. There are also 12 small courtyards in the back. The small courtyards are large and small, and they are well-proportioned.
As soon as they entered Qin Mumu's courtyard, they heard a crisp greeting: "Uncle Lan is here?"
The sound was very pleasant, just like the song of a bird. Anyway, Lan Jizong thought it was more pleasant than the lark in the empress's palace, but it also had a thorny look, as if he was saying hello to a friend he had known for many years.
Hearing this voice, Lan Jizong seemed to be exuding joy from every pore. For many years, what he wanted to hear most was this kind of greeting. Unfortunately, the sons at home felt like they were seeing the god of plague when they saw him, and they wanted to hide in the corner.
Go in.
But Lan Jizong searched around and couldn't find Qin Mumu's figure. He only saw two maids covering their mouths and laughing softly, and next to them was a huge and outrageous green car.
"Uncle Lan, my little girl is down there!"
Lan Jizong and the two young chamberlains who followed him were shocked. The dignified owner of Lan Kwai Fong and the top oiran in Tokyo actually got under the carriage. Although Lan Jizong had already heard the sound coming from below, he felt that something was wrong.
Qin Mumu was just joking with her.
"Master Qin, how can you get under the carriage with your noble body? Waiting on the carriage is a handlebar job..."
Before he finished speaking, a jade hand stretched out from under the carriage: "Qin Ye, hand me the steel piece!"
Lan Jizong squatted on the ground dully, watching the maid hand a piece of iron like a wat plate in the hands of courtiers to Qin Mumu's hand, and disappeared under the car in the blink of an eye.
Gululu, Lan Jizong was startled when Qin Mumu suddenly stepped out of the car, and then he patted his chest and said, "Qin people, you scared me to death!"
Qin Mumu put down her tied up hair, tapped her toes, and the board with wheels on the ground sped out like a car, hit a pillar and slowly stopped.
"I've told you, don't call me Mr. Qin, it's better to call me Mu Mu. Qin Ye, Qin An, please pack your things quickly, and by the way, fry up my crispy pork and bring it over, so that you can have it with Lan.
Uncle, have tea!”
Lan Jizong smiled: "Oh! I forgot, but I'm afraid I won't have this blessing anymore. The empress will summon you to the palace again!"
Qin Mumu's slender eyebrows wrinkled and her nose twitched as she said, "Mumu really doesn't like the palace confinement. Although it seems bright and bright, it's so oppressive and uncomfortable!"
"Ouch! My little ancestor, your summons is a happy event that no one in the world can even hope for, and you still have to be picky when it comes to you! It's really unseemly!"
"There is a charity performance tonight to raise money and food for the people of Henan Prefecture. How about another day?"
Lan Jizong stared at Qin Mumu blankly. He broke his head and couldn't figure out why she could refuse the empress' summons so easily and sincerely?!
