Yanyulou

The night wind is blowing, the Xiangshui is dripping, in the river, flower boats are docked, and by the river, a hundred flowers are blooming.

Shihuayuan, a famous place for fireworks by the Xiangshui River, is full of dignitaries and dignitaries, spending hundreds of gold overnight, just to smile for the beauties.

When the moon was on the branch, Li Ziye dragged Bai Wangyu over and dragged him into the flower garden.

In the planting flower garden, singing and dancing are peaceful. On the high platform on the first floor, four dancers dance lightly with pipas in their hands.

"You two young masters, please, do you have any girls you like?"

Just as the two walked in, a woman with heavy makeup stepped forward, holding a painting fan, looked at the two, and said with a smile on her face.

"It's the first time I'm here, stop talking nonsense, and quickly find two nobles. My brother doesn't like ordinary rouge and gouache, and money is indispensable."

With a proud face, Li Ziye took out a large ingot of shining silver and put it into the woman's hand, saying arrogantly.

"My son is really bold!"

Hua Gu looked at the silver in her hand, her mouth couldn't close her smile, she looked to the back, and shouted loudly, "Quick, let Xinghua and Lihua come down to entertain the distinguished guests!"

"Apricot blossom, pear blossom?"

When Li Ziye heard these two names, he almost couldn't spit out.

Can't you come up with a good stage name?

"Brother Li!"

On the side, Bai Wangyu looked at the scene of Yingying and Yanyan around him, sweating nervously on his face, and said, "Let's go."

"No hurries."

Li Ziye pulled the former to sit down in front of an empty table, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time coming here, so I have to relax before going back."

"Young master, here we come!"

At this time, on the second floor, two beautiful women came down, their figures were so enchanting, twisting every step, they almost twisted their waists.

"Let's take a look, two sons, how is it?"

Hua Gu pulled the two girls forward and said with a smile.

"Cleaner?"

Li Ziye looked at the two coquettish women in front of him, and asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry, my lord, she is definitely a young girl."

Hua Gu said with a smile all over her face.

When Li Ziye heard the words, he showed suspicion, but he didn't ask any more questions. He couldn't ruin his own business. He glanced at the two women, then pointed to Little Red Riding Hood beside him, and said with a grin, "Sisters, Accompany my brother well, money is indispensable to you."

"Yes."

Xinghua and Lihua looked at each other when they heard the words, and immediately sat next to Bai Wangyu, their bodies clinging to each other like water snakes.

"You two girls, you can't. It's against etiquette for a man and a woman to give or receive kisses. How decent is that?"

Surrounded by the two women, Bai Wangyu said in panic while dodging.

Seeing this, Li Ziye even felt relieved.

Tell you this guy to put on a calm face every day, now, panic.

Other people's children also have this day!

"Ha ha!"

Li Ziye's mood became more and more cheerful, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Young master, what about you, don't you want a girl to accompany you?"

Hua Gu saw that the one in front of the two was the God of Wealth, and asked with a flattering smile on her heavily made-up face.

"No hurry, just wait."

Li Ziye grinned and said, "I heard that Yu Qingxuan, the oiran in the capital who is both excellent in piano and dance, will come to Shihua Garden to perform tonight. I don't know, is it true?"

"indeed so."

Hua Gu smiled and said, "Miss Qingxuan is already on her way, she must be here soon."

"That's good."

Li Ziye responded, and immediately picked up the wine glass to drink quietly, unwilling to say anything more.

Seeing this, Hua Gu tactfully did not bother, and gave the two women on the table a wink, indicating to serve the distinguished guests, and then turned and left.

The first floor was getting more and more lively. Apparently, besides Li Ziye, many people had also heard the news that Fairy Qingxuan was coming to Shihuayuan tonight.

As the oiran of the famous business capital, Yu Qingxuan's identity is extremely mysterious, and no one knows his background. Ever since he shocked the world with a song in the oiran competition three years ago, the nobles in the entire capital have been crazy about it ever since. When all the gold is gone, it's hard to win a smile from a beautiful woman.

On the second floor, in each box, all the most distinguished guests in the capital were sitting, also waiting for Yu Qingxuan to show up.

And on the third floor of Shihuayuan, there was only one person, wearing a silver-gray toga and cloak, looking at the people below, his handsome face did not show the slightest wave.

brother!

Li Qingzhi stared at the young figure on the first floor, his indifferent expression showed a rare gentleness, and disappeared immediately after a while.

It's only natural to come here on the day when Yu Qingxuan shows up in Shihua Garden, and it won't arouse other people's suspicion.

"Ding!"

At this moment, on the second floor, a piano sounded like fairy music, and with just one sound, the entire Shihua Garden fell silent.

Weeping and complaining, the voice is urgent, on the second floor, in the box facing the stairs, the bead curtain is swaying, a shadow of a beautiful woman is looming, just a glimpse, it is hard to forget that beautiful face.

Tsing-clothed, hair tied, picturesque eyebrows, orchid-like temperament, like a mysterious girl relegated to the mortal world, without the slightest breath of mortals.

Gradually, on the second floor, the sound of the piano became faster and faster, like a silver bottle bursting, and thousands of troops galloped past.

"it is good!"

On the first floor, all the guests were fascinated by the sound, and unconsciously cheered loudly.

"Ambush from ten sides?"

Li Ziye was startled for a moment, then curled his lips, and complained in a very low voice, "You can play the pipa so well, what kind of Guqin do you have to use?"

"Keng!"

The sound of the piano stopped in an instant, as if the clothes were torn, so abrupt.

On the first floor, all the guests were also stunned, and fell silent instantly.

So, Li Ziye complained in a low voice for everyone to hear.

Behind the bead curtain on the second floor, Yu Qingxuan stood up suddenly, looked at the young man on the first floor who was all the attention, with a look of shock on his face.

It's him!

"Where is the boy who doesn't understand the rhythm, dare to speak nonsense here."

On the first floor, many children from rich families rebuked angrily when they heard someone slandering the fairies in their hearts.

"If you don't understand, pretend to understand, and don't be afraid to flash your tongue!"

"Who is this? Does anyone know him? It's not too embarrassing!"

"Where is the boy, throw him out!"

One person sprayed, and everyone agreed. Immediately, in the lobby on the first floor, curses and reprimands could be heard endlessly. It was obvious that Li Ziye's previous evaluation of Fairy Qingxuan's piano skills aroused public outrage.

On the second floor, sneers also rang out from the private rooms, looking at the strange young man on the first floor who made everyone angry, with a playful look on his face.

Whose brat is this? He really dares to say anything.

"Your Highness, he is the third son of the Li family."

In one of the boxes, a feminine voice sounded, reminding.

"Oh? Is it the legitimate son of the Li family?"

Behind the half-covered gauze curtain, a man who looked about 30 years old spoke curiously.

The man's appearance was very ordinary. Compared with the other princes of Dashang, he was obviously ordinary. His knees were covered with thick blankets, which seemed to be due to some problems with his legs and feet.

The eldest prince, Mu Yuan, was born with disabled legs and could only rely on a wheelchair to travel. If it was born of an ordinary concubine, such a prince would definitely have no chance of inheriting the throne.

However, the eldest prince's mother and concubine have a prominent family background, coupled with his status as the eldest son of the royal family, so even though he is disabled, there are still many vassals.

Behind Mu Yuan was an older eunuch, named Zhao Jie, who had followed Mu Yuan for more than ten years. He was a well-known expert in the imperial family.

"Your Majesty, should you use the old slave to call him up?" Zhao Jie asked.

"Not yet."

Mu Yuan shook his head and said, "Wait and see what happens. This king also wants to see what is different about this son of the Li family."

"Yes!"

Zhao Jie responded lightly, and immediately stood there quietly, without further words.

In the lobby on the first floor, Li Ziye was slightly taken aback looking at the excited crowd.

As for what, didn't he just tell the truth, these people look so excited, they can't wait to come up and eat him.

Brainless fan, it really is so scary no matter what era.

"I remembered, he is Li Ziye, the son of Li Wanwan in Yuzhou City!"

At this time, among the many young masters on the first floor, someone finally recognized Li Ziye's identity and shouted.

"Li Wanwan? That upstart?"

"No wonder, what insight can a kid from a nouveau riche have!"

"A bumpkin who has never seen the world is shameful here."

After Li Ziye's identity was recognized, everyone laughed again, so timely.

Brothers in the capital city, at this moment, they felt the superiority of their own status again, and their chins were so raised that their nostrils were almost exposed.

"Big Brother."

Amidst the laughter one after another, suddenly, a young nobleman noticed the Confucian scholar in white who was being entangled by two women. He was startled for a moment, and then a look of shock appeared on his face, and he lost his voice, "Brother, why are you here?" ?”

After saying that, everyone subconsciously looked at the young man in white beside Li Ziye. After a while, they all looked surprised.

This is, Bai Wangyu, the first disciple of Faru Zhangzun?

Surrounded by pear blossoms and apricot blossoms, nephrite jade and warm fragrance, Bai Wangyu saw the shocked gazes around him, and with a look of embarrassment on his face, he nodded to everyone.

"Brother, why are you here?"

A student of Taixue stood up, with an expression of disbelief, and asked.

"I came with Brother Li."

Bai Wangyu replied awkwardly.

"Brother Li?"

The Taixue student was stunned, and then looked at Li Ziye, who had just provoked the anger of the senior brother, clenched his fists, and his face became more and more angry.

This person actually brought senior brother to this kind of place!

Senior brother is the pride of their entire Imperial Academy.

Li Ziye felt everyone's murderous eyes, and couldn't help touching his nose. These people came to the brothel for fun, and they didn't allow others to come.

On the second floor, in the private rooms, pairs of eyes watched the situation below, waiting to watch the show.

The eldest son of the Li family actually brought the elder brother of the Confucian sect to this place of fireworks. I don't know what the expression of the Confucian master will be when he hears it.

Seeing that the people on the first floor were getting more and more excited, on the second floor, behind the bead curtain, Yu Qingxuan suppressed the waves in his heart, and said, "Mr. Li, can you move to the second floor to see me?"

As soon as the words fell, all the noise in the lobby on the first floor disappeared immediately, and the silence was a little scary, and a needle could be heard.

Everyone was shocked, and it was difficult to recover for a while.

"The fairy invites you, but it's disrespectful!"

Li Ziye grinned, then got up and walked towards the second floor.

However, just as he walked up the third flight of stairs, Li Ziye stopped again, turned around to look at the people on the first floor, grinned, and said, "A bunch of bumpkins!"
