I wish for a long time

When the lights are on, every household is full of smoke, the night market is open, and the streets are still lively.

Ye Jiuyi wore a moon white cross-collar shirt, which still stood out in the crowd.

"Yezi, have you seen the three-story building with colorful stripes in front of it? That's the famous Huamanlou."

Xue Jingning pointed at the fan with a smile on his face as if he had licked honey.

Ye Jiu gave him a disgusted look, followed the direction he pointed, and a colorful building that looked like a restaurant came into her sight.

The building is three stories high, with many colored strips hanging on it, and there is a fence on the second floor, on which there are men and women talking and drinking.

Ye Jiu frowned, and turned around in disbelief, "Boy, don't tell me that Huamanlou...is a brothel..."

Xue Jingning looked like he had seen a ghost, "You don't really think it's a flower seller, do you?"

Ye Jiu shook his head, "I later thought it was a restaurant."

Xue Jingning raised his hand to his forehead.

"You are really my ancestor..."

Resigned to his fate, he took two steps forward, turned to face Ye Jiu, pointed to Huamanlou in the distance, and said seriously: "Huamanlou, the largest and most famous brothel in Yuncheng. Brothel! Find out for me, no kiln!"

Ye Jiu looked puzzled, "Is there a difference?"

Xue Jingning paused for two seconds before resisting the urge to beat her violently, and explained in a calm tone:

"The brothel is a place where literati and elegant guests talk about poetry and fu, and appreciate life. The girls in the building are all talented, full of gems, and they are all performing arts but not selling themselves. You say Washe, it is a place for flesh and blood business. This is completely two Do it."

Ye Jiu swallowed, "Understood."

Xue Jingning shook his head helplessly, "Could it be that the county magistrate is the host and will invite you to visit the brothel?"

Ye Jiu choked suddenly, what he said made sense.

"And, on the tenth and twenty-fifth of every lunar month, there will be an essay competition in Huamanlou, and the one who wins the first prize will be the guest of the oiran, listening to music and reciting poems to spend the night together."

Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Is it the good night I was thinking of?"

Xue Jingning spat at him, "Why are you full of colors in your mind?"

Ye Jiu shrugged, sorry, I watched too many TV series.

Xue Jingning then smacked her lips with great interest, "It's a pity, it's been three months, and no one has entered the lady's boudoir yet."

Ye Jiu was a little curious, "Why?"

"It's a difficult question. This oiran lady is good at composing music." Xue Jingning sighed, "A piece of music should be composed in class, and if it suits the lady's wishes, it will be matched with the sound of the piano. There is no good story about an ensemble."

Ye Jiu hooked the corners of his lips, "It seems that Mr. Xue has tried it."

Xue Jingning frowned, "Not only that, I can't even understand the libretto, and I lost ten taels of silver for nothing."

With that said, the two came to the door of Huamanlou.

"Today is not a good day, there are not many people."

Xue Jingning handed over the invitation while explaining to Ye Jiu.

The receptionist at the door took a quick glance, and quickly turned sideways to make a "please" gesture: "Masters, please come with me."

Xue Jingning nodded and stepped into the building first.

Ye Jiu followed closely behind, secretly looking at the scene inside.

Although it was already dark outside at this time, the building was indeed brightly lit. The candles were as bright as the incandescent lamps. Same as day.

There was a lot of people in the building, men and women were mixed on the table on the first floor, some were drinking and composing poems, some were waving pens, it was very lively.

"This floor is a place for ordinary fun. Generally, the famous people are in the private room on the second floor."

Xue Jingning opened the fan and shook it comfortably twice.

Ye Jiu looked up, "What's on the third floor?"

"The third floor is the girls' private rooms, so there will be guards at the stairs." Xue Jingning turned her head and whispered.

Ye Jiu let out an "oh" and followed them up the stairs to the second floor. Halfway there, Xue Jingning stopped and pointed to the center of the hall:

"Did you see that round platform? That's the place where Wensai is held in the regular days, and it's also the place where the oiran ladies perform on stage twice a month."

Ye Jiu turned his head to look, and saw a wooden round platform located to the north, the platform was almost as high as the table, and there were small steps beside it.

It's a bit like the current stage, but a little crude.

Ye Jiu nodded, not very interested, and within two moments, he arrived at the door of a room.

"Two masters, please come in, there are already several masters inside."

Xue Jingning nodded, took out a small piece of broken silver from his cuff, and stuffed it into the servant's hand.

Ye Jiu blinked in astonishment, broken silver!

Nima looks like two or two!

This is Xishui Tang's cook's salary for one month!

Ye Jiu grabbed the boy without saying a word.

The boy looked puzzled, "What else can the master order?"

Ye Jiu turned sideways, and suddenly smiled sweetly, "Are you guys still recruiting?"

Boy & Xue Jingning: ...

……

Small courtyard.

"Qianyun, look what good things I brought you!" Xiaobai smiled and pushed open the courtyard door, shaking a ring-shaped thing in his hand.

Several people in the courtyard turned their heads one after another, only then did Xiao Bai realize that not only Qian Yun was there, but Miss and Wei Yu were also there.

Qian Yun got up to greet him, took the things in his hand, and saw a small grass ring surrounded by small white flowers.

"Jasmine!"

Xiaobai smiled: "Well, they were picked by the river."

Qian Yun happily accepted it, and raised her head with a smile, but she found a problem.

"Why are you back, brother Ye?"

She looked behind Xiaobai, there was no one there, and she couldn't help being a little puzzled.

Qi Shao'an under the rattan trellis heard Qian Yun's question, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Xiao Bai.

There was a quiet light in those beautiful eyes.

"Brother Ye, he has a social event tonight, so he probably will come back quite late."

The light suddenly dimmed.

Qian Yun pursed his mouth and stomped his feet, "Excuse! How many days have passed since Zhizhou's dust-cleaning banquet, and he still doesn't come home every day. He's such a wild horse, he can't even be restrained by a bit!"

Xiaobai hurriedly hissed, this girl speaks without restraint, and the young lady is still alive, so she dares to describe it like that.

Qian Yun realized it, stuck out her tongue, and quickly looked at Qi Shao'an secretly.

Her young lady lowered her head, as if she didn't notice what was said here.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

You can't mess with Miss...

Who doesn't know that Miss has a lot of heart for Brother Ye.

At this time, Qi Shao'an's eyes were slightly closed, with three points of worry, five points of bewilderment, and two points of disappointment.

Hidden in shadows, no one can see.

Is it...an entertainment again?

What was it last time? Boss Hu treated me to a treat.

What was it last time? Boss Cui's second son got married.

What a coincidence, something happens every day.

Qi Shaoan blinked and took a deep breath.

But you just don't want to see me.

Why so many excuses.

The scenes at the dinner table that day floated through her mind, scene by scene.

So, do you feel wronged?

So angry with yourself.

Qi Shaoan pursed her lips and put down the embroidery frame in her hand.

The white silk cloth is tightly stretched on it, and a piece of green willow leaf has already taken shape, and there are only a few veins left before it takes shape.

She rubbed the space between her brows, no matter what, it's time to make it clear.

Like a child.

childish.

……

The building is full of flowers.

"Thanks to all the storekeepers for their great help, this cleansing feast is quite a success!"

County magistrate Wei raised his wine glass and glanced at everyone present, the joy on his face was beyond words.

Ye Jiu also raised his cup along with the crowd, and became a little transparent among the crowd.

County magistrate Wei ordered a few bosses, and praised them emphatically, "Mingyue Tower is indeed the facade of my Yuncheng, with vinegar fish and drunk fairy ducks in hand, but it has made Master Zhizhou very fond of it."

Shopkeeper Hu held the wine glass and said straightly that he didn't dare to take it.

County magistrate Wei turned his head to look at shopkeeper Wu again, "The three colors of sour and emerald are also unique, and my lord is also very satisfied."

Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows, and exchanged glances with Xue Jingning, both of whom could see impatience in each other's eyes.

One by one, boast until the year of the monkey.

It’s a good brothel, but who can explain it, what about the versatile young ladies?

Why didn't I see any of them!

After entering the door, the only woman she saw was the aunt who served the dishes.

Really, then why are there flowers all over the building, just go directly to the Mingyue Tower of shopkeeper Hu.

Also save money.

"Boss Ye."

A voice came, interrupting her thoughts.

Ye Jiu quickly regained his senses, and was looking into the smiling eyes of the county magistrate of Shangwei.

"Boss Ye is really a young talent. The bowl of yogurt has been admired by Master Zhizhou for a long time. He said that he has never eaten such delicious yogurt in Tongzhou. When he left, he wished that someone would take you away with him. "

County magistrate Wei's joke-like words caused everyone to laugh unanimously, and praised Ye Jiu in a hurry.

Ye Jiu was extremely embarrassed in his heart, he quickly picked up his wine glass and answered a few words.

After the commendation was over, County Magistrate Wei started a new topic: "Wei invited everyone here today not just for food and drink, but this Huamanlou Huakui is the best of the best, with both talent and color, today I specially invite the lady of Huakui to cheer us up." fan."

"I'll go, lady oiran!!"

Before Ye Jiu could make a sound, Xue Jingning beside him was already screaming excitedly.

He deliberately lowered his voice, so only Ye Jiu heard it.

She turned her head and asked in a low voice, "Then what's wrong with the oiran, that can make you so excited?"

Xue Jingning shook her legs, and said in a trembling voice: "The oiran of Huamanlou thinks it's rare for someone to play alone. It's the county magistrate who has a lot of face, and he can invite the oiran lady to accompany him."

As he said that, there were a few footsteps at the door, and then the door was pushed open.

For a moment, everyone in the room focused their attention on this.

I saw a woman in a green shirt walking in with a guqin in her arms. She had a beautiful face, a charming figure, and small hands with skin as soft as snow. It is classified as the level of Transcendent A.

"Chu Xun met the county magistrate, and all the masters."

The woman walked into the hall, her legs were slightly bent, and she bowed profusely.

Although it was a nod of the head to salute, there was no intention of humble flattery.

Ye Jiu smiled, and turned his head halfway, "Young boy, you have a good eye."

However, this sentence seemed to be thrown into a deep pool, and there was no response at all.

Ye Jiu was a little puzzled, and when he looked back, he immediately rolled his eyes.

I saw that our Second Young Master Xue's eyes were dull, his mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were staring at the woman in the blue shirt opposite, wishing to grow directly on her body.

Ye Jiu: Let's go, I don't know you.

At this time, there was a strange silence in the room, because almost everyone was staring at the woman, basically, the expression was no different from that of Xue Er.

Ye Jiu rested his forehead with one hand, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not being able to join your team.

The woman in the blue shirt didn't seem to care about these scorching gazes, she glanced around with a smile on her face, her gaze fell on the only person who didn't look at her, she paused for a moment, then slid over again.

"Miss Chuxun, can you play a song for us to cheer us up?"

Magistrate Wei smiled and opened his eyes as usual.

"my pleasure."

Shi Shiran, a woman, walked to the piano table, put the guqin on it, and swept the strings with her slender fingers, making a deep and deep sound.

Ye Jiu's ears heard the sound of inhaling one after another, and he was holding his breath, waiting for the woman to play the rhyme and pluck the strings.

The woman raised her eyes slightly, with a smile in her eyes, lightly lowered her shaved fingers, and raised her tone eloquently.

The voice is slow and fast, the tone is simple and smooth, it is not difficult to hear that the woman's piano skills are indeed not in vain.

Everyone was fascinated when they heard it, as if they had fallen into a honey pot, their faces were full of intoxication.

Ye Jiuhuan looked around, and found that a group of people, including the county magistrate, looked like they couldn't control the secretions from their mouths, especially like...big golden retrievers.

Xue Er was even worse, a golden retriever who had been hungry for several days and suddenly saw meat.

Ye Jiu couldn't help but secretly covered his mouth.However, she didn't notice that this scene happened to fall into the eyes of the woman opposite.

The corners of the woman's lips under the scarf were slightly curved, and the frequency of finger flicks accelerated, and the tune changed instantly with a seamless connection.

Everyone was led to wake up for a moment, and then indulged in it again in a flash.

The tune is light and agile, and it is particularly attractive when paired with the elegant and calm timbre of the guqin.

Ye Jiu shook his head comfortably following the melody of the song.

However, after ten seconds, she noticed something was wrong.

This song is high and low, with a strong sense of rhythm, and a faint sense of familiarity.

Nima, isn't this blue and white porcelain? ?

The author has something to say: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !All ages and genders are welcome! !I'm so incompetent that I'm crying to death...
