Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 24: Get drunk

The moon shadow reflected on the diwa.

The swaying candlelight was reflected on the account book of the table, and the paper made a rattling sound as the wind blew.

The figure of the man gradually approached her.

"Shen Zhen." His voice was low and depressed, as if something was about to explode.

The pen under Shen Zhen's hand suddenly stopped, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. He raised his eyes and met his dark and deep eyes, and the slowly descending Adam's apple.

When he saw her in this way, most of them couldn't allow her to refuse.

Before she could think about it, Lu Yan took away the wolf from her hand, threw it to the ground, closed the account book, and put it aside.

"Sit up." Lu Yan got up and tapped the table top with his index finger.

Shen Zhen's face flushed instantly.

The breathless feeling came again.

She doesn't know why he always likes to do that on the table, but when she thinks of the worn knees before, she can't lift both legs up.

No one in this world doesn't love the posture that Shen Zhen dislikes the most.

Seeing that she hadn't moved, Lu Yan thought she was shy, so he wrapped her body and lowered his head to bit her earlobe.

Biting hard, the heat in the man's nose and the barely audible gasp entered her ears.

She couldn't help shaking.

But after a long time, her gaze was still evasive, with two small hands against his chest, a bit of rejection.

Lu Yan frowned slightly, reached out and patted her, there was no menstrual belt.

Her little days have not come...

Shen Zhen's cheeks were hot by his familiar movements. In a hurry, she had to lift off the skirt and showed him the bruise on her knees that hadn't faded.

There were redness and purple on her tender skin, and anyone who looked at it would think that the person who did evil on her didn't understand pity, Xiangxiyu at all.

Perhaps Lu Yan also felt that the scar in front of him was too much, so he put a fist against his lips and coughed lightly.

When she put her back on the couch, Lu Yan rarely introspected.

She didn't force her knees anymore.

However, after changing his posture, the situation is still not much better.

He likes burning lamps, but she only likes the dark. It's okay when she turns her back, at least she can't see his mocking eyes.

If you don't see it, you can do it all by him.

But once her eyes met like this, her heart raised her throat.

Suddenly, she felt like a swaying driftwood, in the endless sea...

With only one hairpin on his head, it finally fell to the ground with a "ding", and the three thousand green silks were scattered.

So embarrassed.

Her ten fingers curled up secretly, stubbornly digging the edge of the carved couch, and her fingertips faded to white.

Lu Yan looked down at her. If he hadn't seen her with his own eyes, it would be hard for him to believe that such a face that does not eat the fireworks would give birth to such a sultry body.

Really want to be pure.

Shen Zhen was almost forced to cry by him, and said incoherently: "My lord, don't look, don't look."

But Lu Yan had a black heart. The more she resisted, the more he stared into her eyes.

Even though she was so charming and enchanting, she couldn't help her heart like iron, repeatedly pushing and grinding.

He didn't kiss her on the eyelid until he really forced her tears.

The moonlight was dim, until the man's muffled hum, her little hand gradually let go.

I don't know whether it was a cleanliness or a kind heart attack. Looking at Shen Zhen lying on the couch unable to move, Lu Yan took her to the clean room personally and cleaned her up.

The night is heavy.

Shen Zhen really can't sleep.

She stared at the beams without moving.

Such beautiful eyes finally stained a trace of sadness in the dark night that no one saw.

After a while, she turned her head, her eyes fell on the dying moonlight outside.

——

Zhao's family in Yangzhou, governor's mansion.

The drapery hanging on the edge of the collapsed side was quietly opened, and a ray of morning light penetrated through the gap in the window.

A maid named Jiuzhi stood in the middle of the inner room and slowly said: "Madam, the grandma sent someone to pass the message, and the guards really went to the Gaofu again."

Madam Zhao suppressed the smile on her face, stretched out her hand to lift the hot tea in front of him, and said to Jiuzhi: "Is it clear what I asked you to investigate before?"

"According to the spies, Jingzhou Wei's family did have a son named Wei Xun. He was married at the age of twenty and four, and he married the daughter of Jingzhou County Office. He had a son and a daughter under his knees." Jiu Zhi paused, and then again. Said: "Madam, the Wei family is more complicated than we thought."

"How to say?"

"The Wei family has quite a status in Jingzhou. They are not only in the cloth business, they also have salt in their hands."

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, "Since he even has the salt, what does he do in Yangzhou?" In her opinion, how can the profit of selling salt be big with a few pieces of rags?

"The Wei family has a lot of ambitions, and there is a stance of making money in the world. Wei Xian is from Yangzhou, and Wei Qi, the second master of the Wei family, went to Luoyang."

Mrs. Zhao said: "So, he really came to Yangzhou to find money?"

Jiu Zhidao: "At present, it seems that it is indeed the case."

Mrs. Zhao suddenly "hissed" and said to the little girl who beat her legs, "You give me some light." Then she said: "I heard that Young Master Wei also brought a beautiful concubine room next to him?"

"Yes, the slave servant listened to Zhuang Yue's words. Young Master Wei felt very painful to the concubine's room. It took hundreds of gins to buy her jewelry."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao smiled and sighed, "Co-author, or an infatuation?"

Jiuzhi stood aside respectfully, not daring to agree at will.

After a while, Mrs. Zhao folded her hands on her lap and said, "You send someone to Luyuan to stare, and then go back to Gao's house and talk to my brother and sister-in-law. They don't need to worry about the next thing."

"Yes."

In the evening, Zhao Chong returned to the mansion.

Zhao Chong couldn't compare to a nobleman like Lu Yan. It took him more than half of his life to climb to the position he is today.

He was over forty years old and wrinkled, but the aura around his body became much more honorable because of the official uniforms on his body.

In the room, he rubbed his hands against the stove while listening to his wife's words, and said, "Madam thinks, is that guardian family credible?"

Madam Zhao thought for a moment, and said: "The meat delivered to the door is unreasonable. It doesn't make sense to put it in your mouth. It doesn't matter whether he belongs to the Liu family or the Wei family. It's not credible. Let's try it yourself and know? "

Zhao Chong said, "Pour me a glass of water."

Madam Zhao hurriedly stepped aside, poured a glass of water, and handed it to him: "Two days ago, the Governor's Mansion came to talk. It was said that the iron smelting at the west side of the city was insufficient. Let us make up for it, sir. , It’s okay, and there is a wealth of wealth waiting for us, but if it doesn’t happen..."

Zhao Chong narrowed her eyes and interrupted her directly, "You don't have to say the rest."

——

At noon the next day, a word came from the Gao family, and Yang Zong hurriedly entered the study, "Master, the Gao family let go, saying that the boss wants to see us, but..."

Lu Yan said: "Say quickly."

"They said they want you to take Miss Shen with you."

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Yan's eyebrows frowned, and he turned the fingers of his hand, "When?"

"Tonight, Yangzhou Twenty-Four Bridge."

Yangzhou Twenty-Four Bridge, which is the most famous place for fireworks in the entire Jin Dynasty, is Pingkangfang in Chang'an, and it cannot be compared with it.

All the officials who have been to Yangzhou say that such an ecstasy cave is as if people have seen the Jiulin Meat Pond where the king of Shang Zhou pleased Su Da.

Lu Yan looked at the map in his hand repeatedly, with his index finger reaching his forehead, thinking for a long time before he said, "See."

Then he said: "It is good for our people to lie in wait in the Cishi Mansion. If their identity is revealed, capture Yang Chong and his wife alive."

"Subordinates understand."

——

Crossing Chaoguan Pass, about half a mile across, is the nine alleys of Yangzhou Twenty-Four Bridge.

At three quarters to the hour, Shen Zhen got out of the carriage with Lu Yan.

The alleyway is narrow and winding, and every inch is steadily. When the lights are hung at night, you can see hundreds of houses.

Thousands of prostitutes in Yangzhou gathered here.

Thousands of people.

As the saying goes, the more corrupt and ruined the place is, the better this kind of business is. Those high-ranking officials and nobles love lewd and vulgar prostitutes.

These prostitutes bathe with balm every night, freshen up, and then walk out of the alleys to and from the wine shop, tea house, and poetry house.

As long as someone passes by, they will try their best to pull people upstairs.

If it is said that Pingkangfang still pays attention to elegance and taste. The Nine Alleys of Yangzhou Twenty-Four Bridge is really dominated by skin and meat business.

Shen Zhen has seen such a scene there?

She walked behind Lu Yan, her heart beating wildly.

Zhao Chong's place was not in a restaurant or tea house, but in painting a boat.

Yangzhou's dignitaries and dignitaries often gather here at night, surrounded by feasting and dazzling, and gently rippling on the waves, which is indeed more wild.

They were heading east, and a small servant quickly came to them.

"Is it Young Master Wei?" Xiao Si said.

Lu Yan nodded, "We are in Xia Wei Xun."

"The minion is here to show Master Wei, please come here."

Soon, he brought Lu Yan and Shen Zhen to the shore.

The night dew was heavy, and Lu Yan led Shen Zhen into the boat.

Inside the boat sat a man and a woman, one of whom was Zhao Cishi.

There is another famous prostitute in this nine alleys, and also Zhao Chong's pink confidant-Huanniang.

As soon as Lu Yan entered the painting boat, Huanniang groaned, "Why didn't Mrs. Zhao say that there are still people tonight?"

Lu Yan pretended to suddenly realize, and said, "Wei has seen Mr. Zhao." Shen Zhen gave a womanly ceremony from the side.

Zhao Chong was very satisfied with his knowledge. He laughed twice and said: "This official has long heard that Young Master Wei is a talented person. When I saw him today, he really said nothing."

"Your honor is too good." Lu Yan said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but look at Huan Niang in the men's pile all day long.

Zhao Chong stretched out his hand to signal him to take a seat.

After Lu Yan sat down, Shen Zhen followed closely.

As soon as she took off her veil, Zhao Chong's eyes fell on her.

Zhao Chong's expression brightened, his brows raised slightly, and he probably didn't expect Wei Xian's concubine to be so beautiful.

He suddenly understood that Wei Xian would spend hundreds of guans to make her happy.

When a woman sees a woman, her appearance is the first thing she sees. Huanniang has never seen a woman more eye-catching than herself in Yangzhou.

She looked at Shen Zhen for a long time, and couldn't help sighing: This little lady didn't even paint powder, why was she so white?

After drinking for three rounds, Huanniang got up to cheer up. She picked up the pipa and sang "Biyulou".

Lu Yan and Zhao Chong pushed their cups and changed their cups while listening to the sound of Mi Mi.

Halfway through the song, Huanniang suddenly took off her upper skirt, revealing half of her white flesh for pleasure and appreciation.

In the face of such a visual impact, Shen Zhen, a soil bun who has never seen the world before, both of his little white hands nervously clenched together.

On the other hand, Lu Yan was very old fritters, with a smile from the corners of his eyes, like the elder brother of countless imperial women.

Three points are uninhibited, three points are indifferent, three points are romantic, and there is a desire.

Everything is just right.

In Shen Zhen's heart. Lu Yanneng became the Shao Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion at a young age, mostly because he had the status of a son of the Guogong Mansion.

Until today, she watched him speak with a skilled Jingzhou accent and chatted with Zhao Chong about the customs of the world, only to realize that he has a lot of excellence.

He seems to have completely changed himself, no one can see it. He was born in Chang'an and grew up in Chang'an.

This Xiang Zhao Cishi has been deliberately mentioning Jingzhou.

No matter what, Lu Yan can handle everything, especially the matter of Fengyue.

Occasionally, a few romantic words popped out, which made Zhao Chong toast and drink like an old friend to a confidant.

I have to say that sometimes men are like this, you look at me, I look at you, with a pair of eyes, as long as you see that the other person has the same colorful intestines as you, the relationship immediately gets closer.

After Huanniang finished singing, Zhao Cibian gave her a look.

Huanniang quickly took out a jar of wine from a wooden box made of yellow rosewood.

She raised her hand to pour a glass of wine for Lu Yan, and said softly: "It is said that Yangzhou Yunye is as crispy. This is our Yangzhou's most prestigious Yunye wine, let's taste it?"

Lu Yan passed, and drank it all in one fell swoop.

Dignitaries and dignitaries have always done nothing, and everyone's every move is in his scheming eyes.

Only by taking the wine glass and drinking it without thinking can he let his guard down.

After Lu Yan passed this test, Zhao Chong said again: "I studied hard for ten years in order to test my fame. My mother went to the market before dawn to sell rice in order to give me a bundle of repairs. I never believed that sentence. The prince general Xiangning has a kindness, so he crawled desperately for seventeen years. Looking back now, I don't know if I went wrong." In this case, it is temptation.

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Life is short, poverty is a lifetime, and rich is also a lifetime. In Wei's opinion, with the wisdom of an adult, the ambition is more than that."

Lu Yan's words were said to Zhao Chong's heart, and he couldn't help but make his eyebrows smile.

His eyes were immersed in ambition, immersed in appreciation, and said to Lu Yan unhurriedly: "Brother Wei should have come to Yangzhou earlier."

Shen Zhen originally thought that Zhao Cishi should put down his guard this time, but he did not expect that his eyes turned back to her.

Knowing that Shen Zhen is not Lu Yan's main lady, Zhao Chong was not very polite when he spoke. After all, among the rich and powerful, there are a lot of people who exchange their concubine rooms for fun.

"Miss Qin is from Beijing?" Zhao Chong said slowly.

Shen Zhen nodded, "Return to my lord, my concubine grew up in Beijing since childhood."

Zhao Chong let out a "um" and said with a smile: "It's still an outstanding person in the capital, and even the girls who come and go are better than those elsewhere."

Such compliments are difficult to receive or not to receive.

After all, the meaning in this sentence is far more than one layer.

At this moment, Huanniang stabbed Shen Zhen’s elbow and quickly said, "Master Zhao rarely praises anyone, and Ms. Qin doesn't hurry up to offer you a glass?" Then, Huanniang turned and picked up the hip flask in the corner. Filled Shen Zhen with a cup.

All the small movements of Huan Niang fell in Shen Zhen's eyes. Just now, she twisted the spout.

This is the yin and yang pot!

Shen Zhen's eyes widened.

If Huanniang can openly force her to drink, Zhao Cishi must have instructed her in advance.

In this way, you have to drink if you don't drink.

Shen Zhen took it, raised his head and drank it.

She grew up and was able to take a sip of fruit wine and taste it during the Chinese New Year. Such a strong white wine is really unbearable.

After a cup, my face was flushed.

For Zhao Chong, a young fruit like Shen Zhen, it is the best dish to go with alcohol.

With a smile on his mouth, he asked Huan Niang to fill Shen Zhen with a glass.

Only then did Shen Zhen understand why Zhao Cishi would call her by name.

It turned out to want to get her drunk.

Whenever she said something wrong, it would be the disaster of overthrow.

Although the adult told me to pick his palm if I couldn't stand it, she really didn't want to hold him back.

Once their identities are exposed, it means they must leave Yangzhou as soon as possible. In this way, she doesn't know when she will see Hong'er and Mother.

Shen Zhen thought for a moment, but had to pretend to drop a dish.

Then, taking advantage of the situation, he picked up the fragments.

At an angle that no one could see, Shen Zhen pierced his arm with fragments and put a little blood to stay awake.

Seeing her drunk, Zhao Chong said, "Where is Miss Qin from Beijing?"

Shen Zhen said: "The concubine was born in Wannian County. She had no father or mother since she was a child, and was raised by her aunt."

Zhao Chong narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a pitiful one, what about your aunt?"

Shen Zhen nodded and said, "After my aunt passed away, I was read out of Qin's house by my elder brother and sister-in-law. When I was displaced, it was thanks to Master Wei's help."

Zhao Chong shook the glass and sighed with a smile, "It's really a good story that a hero saves the United States."

Most men have a savior's plot to poor women in their backgrounds. After hearing Shen Zhen's words, his fingers holding the wine glass became tighter and tighter.

At the second leak, the candlelight in the boat will be extinguished, Zhao Chong looked at Shen Zhen's swaying body, and a fire surged upwards desperately.

He thought, such a soft and drunk little beauty must have something special.

He didn't want to win people's love directly, so he changed to a tacit way, "Master Wei, what do you think of Huanniang?"

Hearing this, Lu Yan put down his wine glass, curled his lips and said, "Naturally it is the appearance of a beautiful face and a moon."

When Huanniang heard this, a pool of stagnant water in her heart couldn't help but toss out several waves.

Zhao Chong often asked her to accompany others, from the adult in the Governor's Mansion to the magistrate in the Yamen.

Every time, she didn't have a choice. This time alone, she had a willingness.

Zhao Chong laughed a few times and said very generously: "Brother Wei, if he likes it, might as well stay in Huafang tonight."

Although Lu Yan's complexion was as usual, according to his degree of cleanliness, it is estimated that he was already guilty in his heart.

In retrospect, even when Shen Zhen touched him, he would wipe his wrist.

Let alone stay in the same place with the brothel head card.

He will not sacrifice to this level for the country.

After a while, Lu Yan said word by word: "A gentleman doesn't take the love of others, the adults are kind, and Wei accepts it."

Zhao Chong heard what he meant.

Although he regretted, but didn't want to give birth to discord before forming an alliance, he nodded in understanding.

The banquet ended.

Before leaving, Zhao Chong patted Lu Yan on the shoulder and said, "I will rest the next day. If there is nothing wrong with Brother Wei, you can come and sit at the Governor's Mansion."

Lu Yan said: "We will definitely visit him in person."

After Zhao Chong left, Shen Zhen stood up in a daze, and Lu Yan hugged her.

Only then did she discover that there were blood stains on the corners of her clothes.
