Chapter 32 Nothing to do today
yangzhou.
At the gate of the city, dozens of guards armed with spears and in bright armor were standing guard. Seeing the signs on Ning Xiu's group, they respectfully gave way to them.
The people of Guiyuan Gate in Yangzhou City obviously got the news, so they have already arranged everything early and booked an elegant inn in advance.
"Heh, it's Young Master Zhao. Elder Liu and all the heroes have arrived. The shopkeeper has been waiting for a long time. Please come inside, please come inside."
The shopkeeper came out with a smile all over his face and brought a few girls with him. His smile was friendly, as if he had found an organization.
"Um."
Ning Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Have the rooms been furnished?"
"Okay, okay, everything is arranged as ordered."
The shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect the people of Guiyuanmen, and asked again, "Would you like to sit down and drink tea first, or should you go inside to rest?"
Ning Xiu said: "Everyone is hungry, eat first."
"Good!"
Several tables of wine and food were set out according to the previous order. Except for cold cuts and seasonal vegetables, all the dishes were served with chicken, duck and fish. There were a total of twelve dishes on one table.
In addition to the delicious delicacies on the table, the wine is also the daughter's red wine that the shopkeeper has collected for many years. As soon as the altar was opened, the aroma of the wine overflowed. Everyone drank boozy, and the fatigue of several days was wiped away.
Ning Xiu already had a good capacity for alcohol, and with his small cultivation, he was even more so. He was not afraid of everyone's toast.
When everyone was full of wine and food and the sky was not completely dark, they thought about going out to have some fun.
There are many entertainment activities in Zongwu World, especially in a big city like Yangzhou, where the night market is bustling, and it is no less deserted than the daytime.
But for men, the activities at night are nothing more than that. Seeing the eyes of his subordinates, Ning Xiu understands in seconds.
...
Mingyufang is one of the most romantic places in the city. Not only is it large in scale and luxuriously furnished, but also it has cultivated many "skinny horses", all of them beautiful, proficient in poetry, books, etiquette and music. They are high-ranking officials in the city, famous Jia Shenliu's favorite place to visit is the Gold Cave, and even faintly compares to Jiaosifang.
When a few people arrived at this street, the lights were just coming on, and there was a sound of silk bamboo and laughter in the courtyards of Mingyufang, with guessing orders in the middle, singing and drinking, it was really a scene of Shengge everywhere.
In response to a sentence, no matter how poor a place is, there is always a prosperous place. Isn't this just the prosperity and "prostitution" in front of you?
Mingyufang's three flamboyant characters hang high on the eyebrows of the door. It is said that they are the pens and inks of a famous artist.
At this moment, in the Phoenix Pavilion exclusive to the oiran, a woman is wearing a white silk woven dress with a bodice that stretches the floor, revealing a large section of white and silky fragrant shoulders, and a soft tulle is sitting on a table. In front of the guqin.
Ning Xiu asked her to raise her head, but she was just shy and coy, and when Ning Xiu spoke again, she raised her head, but lowered it again, so graceful and coquettish.
Gently pluck the jade fingers, and a burst of melodious piano sound flows out from between the slender fingers and the strings. The clear and melodious sound of the piano is like a quiet and beautiful ink painting.
On the vast and misty Slender West Lake, the white sand along the shore is peaceful and quiet, as misty as frost.
The sound of the zither gradually became louder, as if a flock of wild geese flew from far away, hovering and whining in the air, fluttering their wings in the sky.
Then the sound of the zither slowed down, as if a few geese landed on it suddenly, raised their heads and echoed with the flying people in the air, and then the geese gathered their wings and flew down one by one.
The sound of the piano is gradually ending, making people feel that from afar, the geese, white sand, and lake water are all gradually falling asleep in the thicker and thicker twilight.
"Okay, it's like the white snow in spring, the sound of nature, this song should only exist in the sky, it's rare to hear it in the world!"
At the end of the song, a voice followed by applause.
"Young Master Ning, you are over-rewarded."
The woman speaks soft and glutinous Suzhou dialect, and Wu Nong's soft language hooks people's souls.
The oiran Xiuxiu raised her head and smiled sweetly at the big man, only to see that there was a charming and charming smile on her smooth and soft pretty face, which implied a hint of sensuality.
But secretly guessing in her heart, what is the identity of this person, the old lady repeatedly told herself that she must serve this person well, otherwise the whole Mingyufang will have no good fruit to eat.
Although Mingyufang is a romantic place, it has a great reputation. The emperor used to linger here when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, and he also had relationships with many high-ranking officials, dignitaries, rich merchants and salt merchants. Not everyone can get such treatment. In her mind I couldn't figure it out for a while, but I became more curious about Ning Xiu's identity.
And Ning Xiu had nothing to do today, he went to the bar to listen to the music, and did not use the name Zhao Ning, but "alias" Ning Xiu, it was really interesting to visit the brothel.
Xiuxiu got up from beside the piano, Yingying walked to Ning Xiu, picked up a glass of wine on the table and said: "Come on, Nu Jinggongzi has a glass."
After finishing speaking, she raised her glass with one hand, covered her face with the other, lifted her head lightly, and drank it all in one gulp.
Ning Xiu had already drank enough wine before, how can he still drink now, his face turned red, and he waved his hands: "I don't know how to drink."
"Hehe." Xiuxiu raised her eyes and smiled, seeing Ning Xiu's appearance, she held the white jade cup full of wine to the middle of the sky, "Manly man, who knows how to drink?"
"I'm afraid I don't want to drink with my firework girl."
As she said that, Xiuxiu got closer, and the faint fragrance of plum blossoms lingered.
She has never sold herself, she is a young lady who just came out of the court, but she grew up in the big ink vat in the fireworks and willow lane since she was a child, she has a good understanding of the facts of men and women, and she is very comfortable with emotions. Use your charm skills to make him laugh.
I happened to see Ning Xiu, a little man who could "blush" even after toasting, and his status was very high, he seemed to have a mysterious charm, so he couldn't help being interested.
"Why? It's just that I can't drink..."
"Then I must ask you to drink?"
Xiuxiu leaned back when she heard the words, handed the wine glass to Ning Xiu's lips, and looked at him.
"Beauty's invitation, of course I can't refuse." Ning Xiu didn't refuse this time, took Xiuxiu's hand and drank the glass of wine.
Xiuxiu's pretty face turned red, it turns out that this person likes to play this game, leaning over Ning Xiu's arms, softly said: "Young master, do you like it or not?"
"I like it, of course I like it."
After listening to the song for a while, the two chatted, but most of them were cheesy topics.
...
When the atmosphere is thick.
"Young master."
Xiuxiu raised her head and looked at him, biting her cherry lips lightly, as if she wanted to say something, but was unable to speak, as if she was hesitant to speak.
Ning Xiu saw it in his eyes, felt a little unhappy, and said displeased: "Why, don't you want the young master to praise you?"
"No, no! How come the slave family doesn't want the young master to come?" Xiuxiu hurriedly said: "The slave family can't wait to stay by the young master's side every day, and only serve you, the young master."
"Yeah?"
Ning Xiu is smart, he knows everything, he heard the meaning of Xiuxiu's words, he just bought her.
A woman who can become an oiran in a brothel is not only good-looking, but also smart.
Looking at her like that, it is estimated that she can judge her extraordinary status from just a few words, and she has a handsome face, and she is a first-class object of commitment, so how could she not test Ning Xiu a little bit.
Although it is not a problem to redeem her body, since Ning Xiu knew her royal status and became a teacher of Li Yun, her invisible ambitions have grown. Xiuxiu's identity is there. What is the benefit of redeeming her body for this girl?
This is also the reason why Ning Xiu did not reveal her true identity.
He did not mean to look down on women in brothels. This is the Song Dynasty after all. It is not uncommon to force girls into prostitution, even if it is voluntary, but there is no bitter past, a hard-to-read scripture, and whoever is born is willing to be this flesh and blood make a living?
Chinese men are all turbulent curiosity under the cloak of elegance, and these prostitution women born in response to the right medicine are nothing more than a way to satisfy men's own desires.
Just imagine, in the flickering candlelight, behind the crystal beaded curtain, the fragrant beauty is all over the body, playing the piano with slender hands to make a melodious sound, how can a man not feel itchy?
But Ning Xiu is a person with perseverance. If he wants to practice martial arts well, he must first guard his body of pure yang to ensure that his cultivation speed will not be affected in any way.
Seeing that Ning Xiu didn't respond, Xiuxiu was slightly disappointed.
In fact, she really doesn't have any hope for this. She has self-knowledge and knows that she is just a low-status, a scumbag who can do her best. Even if she is an oiran, she can't change this fact.
As for being redeemed to be a wife and concubine.
A wealthy family with a little bit of status would not do that. Chinese literati have always appreciated the beauty of subtlety. The subtlety of an ordinary daughter’s family is nothing more than an invisible mystery. In the era of advocating women's ignorance, it is really difficult to find new emotional growth points.
How people like them are whitewashing, still entertaining people with sex, earning gold and silver, any man who visits the brothel has the same purpose and desire.
The beauty of the girls in the building is open to the public, but it's so obvious, too direct and blatant, it's hard to capture the hearts of men with status, and they get tired of it after a few times, so the brothel has been so lucky since ancient times.
Just like the lyrics in "The Actor": "I am full of dust, how dare I ask, how drunk and true this feeling is."
It's not true.
...
Women at this time hadn't generally bound their feet, and when they saw a beauty who was lying on their laps that suited their own aesthetics, even if Ning Xiu had enough concentration, he would inevitably react.
Maybe as a vase is also good.
Taking a deep breath, he began to play the piano with both hands.
"clank……"
Only the sound of the Nuange qin can be heard softly, like a clear spring flowing slowly through the body, and then slowly pouring into the limbs and bones, making one feel like being in a cloud.
After a long time, the sound of the piano gradually disappeared.
After Ning Xiu finished playing this piece, his heart was at peace, and the sky outside gradually brightened.
When he turned to leave, Xiuxiu felt empty, but saw an extra note on the case.
She is a first-class skinny horse, who knows characters and has a little understanding of poetry, so she snatched it up and took a look. After a while, she was overjoyed and shed two lines of tears.
His gaze stayed in the direction Ning Xiu left for a long time.
The music description quoted the appreciation of "Pingsha Luoyan", and there are some things that I can't write. I have been blocked too many times before.
Finally, ask for a monthly pass, ask for follow-up, and ask for investment! ! !
