Qihu is slightly covered, and the new pool has thin waves.
Yueyi Tower is built near the water. It is placed among the Lidefang houses, and it looks like it stands out among the chickens.
Looking from a distance, I can only see flowers and trees facing the sun, and towers near the water, leaning against each other, creating a beautiful contrast.
There are also tourists coming and going, leaning on the red and green trees; the guests and hosts come together to drink and have fun together. There is singing and dancing, and the scene is extravagant and gorgeous.
Yang Zhaoxi followed Du Shazhou, the "Old Monster with a White Camel", and walked towards the "Yueyi Tower" with his mouth wide open. What he saw before him was everything he had never seen before; everything he could see was beyond his reach!
Only then did a feeling of uneasiness, shame, panic and rejection arise in my heart, as well as the completely opposite curiosity and expectation. In a word, it was extremely contradictory.
There was a battle between heaven and man in his mind, and unexpectedly, several similar orioles, swallows, and pink jade groups gathered in front of him. The gauze was thin and transparent, the jade fingers were slender, and the pink lotus-like white arms hooked up like a python.
The sweet laughter of "hee hee giggle" rushed into my ears——
"Young gentleman, are you here to have a drink? Humph! My sister has some good 'jelly juice' here!"
"My dear husband must be tired and tired from the journey, so he wants to come here to have a peaceful sleep! My sister's elegant house is the quietest, just right to lull him to sleep, cluck, cluck!"
"Young Master! Don't listen to what they are saying... My sister has a pipa, a harp, a piano, and a flute. Why don't you become a close friend with me? Hahahaha!"
"Young Master, I am the princess of the slave family. I don't want to live in the middle of the earth. I am good at dancing Taizhen Concubine's 'Hu Xuan Dance'. Why don't you live with the slave family and dance for you alone? Hehe..."
"Xiao Langjun~~"
"..."
Yang Chaoxi was surrounded by enemies on all sides and was in a dilemma. Du Shazhou finally turned back and snatched him out of the bush. He said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Before I even entered the door, I was dazzled by these vulgar powders.
That’s it. If I meet Ying Niang, I’m afraid my soul will be lost! Haha!”
Yang Chaoxi was still frightened, her cheeks were burning, and she was wondering who Ying Niang was, so she was dragged by Du Shazhou and walked straight to the "Yueyi Tower" surrounded by flowers.
Just as he was about to cross the door and enter, four guys holding anvils and pestles jumped out from the diagonal. One of them said with a smile: "Looking at the two gentlemen with their pointed heads and rat cheeks, and their shabby appearance, maybe they want to come to eat the King's meal."
?”
The other three people waved the anvil and pestle in one hand and patted it gently on the other palm. They stared at Yang and Du with unkind expressions. It seemed that if the two of them did not give a satisfactory answer, they would immediately start to drive them away.
Du Shazhou chuckled softly, his voice still hoarse: "Hey! Who in this 'Yueyi Tower' doesn't know that I, Bai Shuangfeng, am a frequent visitor to Ying Niang's house! Why do you turn a blind eye today?"
The waiter who just spoke continued to mock: "What about the regulars? If it's just because of Ying Niang's preference, he will be shameless and come in every now and then to eat and drink for free. Our shopkeeper Guo said, we will all go out!"
"
Du Shazhou didn't worry, he still smiled and said: "It turns out that shopkeeper Guo deliberately made things difficult for me because of that 'A Du Wu'. It's easy! Bai happened to have some loose money here, so he gave it to a few brothers to have wine."
As he spoke, his five fingers like dry bamboo shrank and stretched, and sure enough he took out four snow-white silver collars from his sleeves, which were so dazzling that they could hardly open their eyes. They immediately slapped them on the hand of the guy who was speaking.
The waiter immediately smiled brightly, hurriedly stuffed the silver collar into his purse, crossed his hands and said repeatedly: "Please come in, two distinguished guests! Let's eat some tea and fruits first, listen to a few sets of music, and have some fun. It's just that at noon today, Ying Niang has suffered a little.
It's so hot that I haven't eaten lunch yet, so I'm still resting in the elegant house. There are already benefactors waiting outside the hall, just waiting for her to come out and have tea..."
"I got it! There's nothing going on today, so I'll just wait a moment and a half longer. What's the big deal?"
Du Shazhou said with a carefree smile, and immediately grabbed Yang Chaoxi's forearm and entered the building together.
Inside the building is another beautiful scene: the pillars are colorful, the railings are woven with gauze, the lichens are pink, and flowers are flying in the caisson. In the hall, the orchids are barefoot, and the dancers are colorful, doing their best to be graceful; there are also singers and musicians Next to the side, fairy music curls up, winding three times around the beam, with an endless aftertaste.
The patrons, dressed in red, purple, green and green, each sat on a bed and a chair, arranged around. Some stood around the pot door, drinking tea, soup, wine and slurry, eating fruit cakes and cakes; Open a mat, place a small case, sit cross-legged, drink and enjoy yourself.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the dancers in the hall, either salivating or applauding. But no one paid attention to Yang and Du who had just approached.
Du Shazhou, who was familiar with the road, led Yang Zhaoxi to find an inconspicuous corner and sit down. Even though there was a sharp-eyed waiter, holding two cups of cooked tea, he half-knelt in front of the two of them.
Yang Chaoxi was about to wave his hands to refuse, but Du Shazhou held him down and said: "Put it on the table! Sift two more bowls of 'Stone Frozen Spring', add a plate of fish dumplings, a plate of roasted mutton, and prepare more seasonings."
After saying that, he took out ten silver collars and put them into the wooden pallet that the clerk had emptied. The clerk, who was already familiar with them, nodded briefly and stepped away, and no one was seen in an instant.
After all, Yang Chaoxi couldn't restrain her curiosity, and she stared at her and said: "How sacred is Ying Niang? What a big show! You haven't even met, and you have already thrown out one or fourteen taels of silver!"
Du Shazhou, however, looked at him as if he were a monster, and stared at him sideways: "Don't you know? Ying Niang is the oiran lady of this 'Yue Yi Tower'! It's not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in Luoyang City. If ten Forty taels of silver can see her smile, and today is not in vain. If she invites her to the elegant house and talks alone, I don’t know how many others will be envious! Hahahaha..."
Yang Zhaoxi could only curl her lips and said: "Not only do I not know, but I have never heard of what this building is called before. But the purpose of going down the mountain is to travel around and imitate what I have learned in the book. How can I focus on these messy things? ?”
Du Shazhou shook his head repeatedly: "Sure enough, I am young and shallow, and do not know the taste of beautiful women."
Yang Zhaoxi ignored him. After looking around for a while, he suddenly took out the rubber mask, put some wine on the table, and put it on his cheek again, as if he had bumped into someone familiar.
After a while, the wine and meat were all served. The two of them watched the dance, listened to the music, and ate happily. They just felt that life in this world was really uncomfortable!
After singing, all the voices have died down, and the skirt has become new after resting. The green clouds are perched on the phoenix, and the lapels are wet with fragrant sweat.
I don’t know how long it took for the singers, dancers, and musicians to finish a set of dances, and then they bowed and left. Everyone in the hall actually dropped their bowls, stood up, and looked around. The whole hall was silent, as if they were expecting. What's coming.
"Huh-huh-"
The sounds of increasingly heavy breathing, mixed with the sounds of swallowing saliva and waving sleeves to wipe sweat, pierced the short silence bit by bit.
"Ying Niang! It's Ying Niang!"
Someone screamed suddenly, and the water surface that was originally as smooth as a mirror suddenly rose up into a huge wave! The whole hall was in an uproar, and every guest seemed to be venting their uncontrollable excitement, hysterically, as if crazy!
Yang Chaoxi followed the crowd and turned around to look around, only to see a woman slowly walking down the wooden stairs at the northwest corner of Yueyi Tower. The woman had a graceful figure, a light and transparent purple skirt, a slightly wrinkled skirt, and a neon glow. The silk draped around the jade neck and arms was lifted up by the wind passing through the hall, making it look like a fairy descending to earth!
When she walked into the hall with lotus steps, all the benefactors felt their breath suffocated, and all the energy and blood in their bodies rushed to their heads. Then they felt a sense of emptiness under their feet, as if they were falling into the fog for five miles, really like a dream.
Yang Chaoxi couldn't help but her pupils shrank: the woman had bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, exquisite facial features, skin as good as snow, a pair of green buns, combed on her head, like butterfly wings. Although she was a little thin, she had an outstanding and proud appearance.
color!
This woman is not Liu Xiaomu, but who is she?
"Come on, dear! Isn't this Miss Liu?!"
Even Du Shazhou, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but slap his palm on the table, and immediately smashed a few clean lamb leg bones, breaking the bones and tendons.
Yang Zhaoxi was so frightened that she was so frightened on the outside and tender on the inside that she could not speak for a long time. After being stunned for a long time, she realized that this woman seemed to be slightly different from Liu Xiaomu. She had a pair of phoenix eyes that cut through the water, hiding the gleaming blue waves. She was really charming but not seductive.
, Enchanting but not glamorous, gorgeous but not vulgar... The charm and grace match each other, and it seems to be a natural blend!
For a moment, I repeatedly exclaimed, "The world is so vast, and there are all kinds of wonders." How could such a beautiful and unconventional person like Liu Xiaomu meet someone exactly the same again!
The woman stood gracefully in the center of the hall and said to the guests, "I have troubled you gentlemen to wait for a long time. Madam Ying is very frightened. Please apologize first!"
The sound is like the call of a delicate oriole, and the rhyme is like the singing of nest swallows.
The guests who had been silent suddenly seemed to explode, shouting words such as "It's okay", "It's okay" and "I'll play a song for you first".
There was even an old guest with white hair and beard who was so excited that a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat and he fainted immediately. The accompanying servants did not dare to say anything, so they quickly took the curtain and hat to cover their faces and quietly carried him out of the "Yueyi Tower".
When Ying Niang saw that the guests were shouting loudly, she couldn't calm down for a moment. She lowered her eyebrows and said with a smile: "When Mr. Lang shows his love, Ying Niang will perform a ugly song."
As soon as the voice fell, a musician came with a harp and placed it in front of Ying Niang. Another musician held a crescent moon stool and placed it behind her. Ying Niang seemed to be used to it, and she sat down gracefully. Immediately, her ten fingers touched the strings, and her jade arms
Hanging in the air, he quietly sang:
"There is a tall building in the northwest, and the top is as tall as the floating clouds.
The sparse and beautiful windows, the third level of the pavilion
…
Sighing over and over again, generosity is more than sad.
I don’t care about the pain of the singer, but I am sad that the sound of my friend is rare.
I am willing to fly high as a pair of swans!"
The sound of singing is like a jade-like sound, and the sound of the piano is astonishing.
It seemed that they were affected by the sad sound in the song. After singing the song, everyone fell into reminiscence. Even young people like Yang Chaoxi, who were full of youth, could not help but feel sad secretly, and shed tears unconsciously.
Ying Niang seemed to have something, her beautiful eyes glanced here, and then turned elsewhere. When the guests' mood gradually recovered, she frowned slightly, her red lips lightly opened and said: "To be so favored by all the gentlemen, Ying
My mother is sincere and frightened. However, after all, mother Ying was born in a mortal body and has not learned the method of incarnation, so she cannot let every husband return home happily. Therefore, I have prepared some fruit cakes and tea, and asked you to write poems according to the title. Maybe there is something new.
Those who are skillful at craftsmanship, Ying Niang... will surely live up to the talent and learning of your husband!"
When Ying Niang said, "I will live up to my husband," she felt dizzy and hurriedly lowered her head. That unintentional shyness made people's blood rush, and they were crazy with surprise!
After listening to this, all the guests were refreshed. They knew that they had wasted half a day and finally got to the point. So they all dressed up and rolled up their sleeves, preparing to show off their poetic talents in order to win the heart of the beauty.
But Du Shazhou looked at Yang Chaoxi with a grimace and said, "Only you people from China are good at this kind of trick, so the hunchback has no choice but to do it." Suddenly, he thought about it, and said with a smile, "If Yang
Brother, you are lucky enough to win the first prize. Don’t forget to take your hunchback with you to visit Ying Niang’s elegant house. You will make a lot of money today!”
At this time, an old man in a purple robe with slightly white temples among the guests smiled and said: "There are many colleagues here who are good at poetry. I wonder what poem title Ying Niang wants to write today? If it is an ordinary five-character or seven-character poem, I'm afraid
It’s hard to tell the difference!”
Ying Niang smiled and patted her beautiful hands, and several dancers brought in seven or eight tubes of silver wine. Ying Niang picked up one and showed it to everyone:
"Ying Niang thought of a strange way, which was to use the fourteen characters of 'Qin, chess, poetry, painting, poetry, hops, firewood, rice, oil, soy, vinegar and tea' as the order. Each husband took one and used the ink characters on the silver chip as the order.
, recited a pagoda poem. I wonder what you gentlemen think?"
After hearing what she said, all the guests laughed and exclaimed "Wonderful". There were also those who thought their poems were mediocre and could not help but feel dejected, but they did not dare to dampen the enthusiasm of others.
So amid the noise of the guests, Ying Niang took a look at the silver chip in her hand and saw the word "花" neatly pasted on the bottom. So she showed it to everyone and said with a smile:
"Since Ying Niang has come up with the title of the poem, she will come up with a plan and give some advice so that all the gentlemen can give you some advice first!"
All the guests laughed and said, "That's exactly what it should be!"
Ying Niang didn't speak anymore. She thought for a moment, then raised her eyes and said: "Yes! That's it -
Flower, flower.
Courtyard, neighbor's house.
With calyx, close to the fence.
The thatched eaves and reed houses nestle beside the water.
The birds in the forest are chirping, and the grass is falling away.
Red flowers and pink flowers decorate the surrounding area, and scattered jade beads fall all around.
It is in vain to ask the green carp to pass on the ruler's elements, and the red leaves in the empty stream recall the palace children."
