wife and king

Chapter 4: Meeting Again

Willow shoots on the moon, newborns in the long night, the girls twisted their waists and walked out of Pinfang Pavilion, holding the silk silk in their hands, spreading a touch of fragrance to passers-by, covering their mouths and smiling coquettishly.The red light hangs high, the candles are as bright as day, and the wine is fragrant when the light and shadow pass by. The night wind blows the veil, and the red color is so red that the eyes are red, and the heart is drunk. You can hear the eaves under the eaves half a street away. The wind chimes and the music are ringing.The singers in the pavilion played the piano with plain hands and sang, the dancers flew their colorful sleeves, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going, laughing and talking loudly while pushing cups and changing cups.

Before entering the Pinfang Pavilion, which is known as the number one pavilion in the world, Yan Cangling's face was covered with a layer of ashes: "You just said that you are here to have fun, and you are here?"

Carrying a fan that came from nowhere, Le Ziyou tapped on Yan Cangling's chest, and said with an apologetic smile, "Of course, I took you for a walk a few streets just now, and seeing that your brows are still wrinkled, I brought you here." Here it is."

"You can say it yourself if you want to go, don't drag me into the water." Yan Cangling snorted dissatisfaction from his nasal cavity, turned around and made a gesture to leave, but when they got here, why would Le Zi let him go, and he would drag him into the water even if he died.

Le Zi squinted at the girls who were welcoming guests in front of the pavilion, and several girls greeted them with witty smiles, raising their voices in a soft voice, sticking to Yan Cang Mausoleum softly and bonelessly, half pushing and half pulling He dragged the person into the Pinfang Pavilion.

"My lord, don't be shy. We will have a hibiscus flower party in our pavilion tonight, and you will be satisfied."

"That's right, the Hibiscus Flower Fair, my lord, only happens once every three years. Not only will there be wrestlers in our pavilion, but there will also be business from the pawnbrokers. You will definitely not lose money this time."

The women laughed and talked, then pushed the stunned Yan Cangling to the backyard, smiled and pushed him down on the chair, Fang took the reward from Le Ziyou, and dropped a slap Eye wave smiled and left.

When Yan Cangling woke up from his mental fascination, he was already sitting in front of an open-air stage. The sky was like a dome covering the surrounding fields, and a pool of blue waves was in front of him. The green lotus in the water fluttered with the wind, and the sparkling water surrounded the center of the water. Shaped jade platform.Covered by the moonlight, the jade platform shone with a radiant glow, fascinated by the wine-stained eyes.

"This scene is beautiful." In order to make Yan Cangling stay, Le Ziyou tapped the palm of his hand with a fan, and praised it all the time. Xuehuang managed well, and transformed the original brothel into the largest music hall in the Huan Dynasty. It was favored by Emperor Huanwu, the first emperor of the emperor, and was awarded the honor of "the first pavilion in the world", and this Yuxuetai is Pinfang Pavilion. I heard that those who can be on stage must have both talent and color, and both are indispensable. It’s just that after a hundred years of changes, this Dalefang has returned to its old business and returned to the brothel. It’s a pity, it’s a pity. But it doesn’t matter. " Seeing Yan Cangling's relaxed face tense again, Le Zi changed the topic excitedly, "It's great to come here to enjoy the scenery and listen to the music. Long experience."

Yan Cangling pursed his lips and sneered, Lezi would lose face if he left after such a verbal introduction, so he could only yawn boredly and raise his feet, peeling the lychees placed on the table beside him, one bite at a time Throw it into your mouth and chew it well.Le Ziyou smiled embarrassingly, while helping him peel the lychees respectfully, while continuing to praise how good Pinfang Pavilion is.

The guests who arrived had already been seated, and the surrounding lights went off for a moment, and a beautiful woman appeared from the white veil on the Yuxue Terrace, playing the piano and singing, or dancing lightly. The waves were churning, and the sound of the waves became more and more intense, spreading far away. Le Ziyou also watched with relish, tilting his body and beating the beat, with a fascinated look on his face.

It's a pity that Yan Cangling always had a weary look in front of such a beautiful scenery, with his legs spread wide, his face tilted in disregard of his image, and he looked boredly at the so-called stunning beauty above.

In his eyes, no matter what kind of stunning looks, they couldn't compare to the man in Tsing Yi back then.

The man lowered his brows and smiled slightly, his eyes rolled, and his bare hands slowly brought the hot box lunch to his eyes...

"Mu Qing, hey, come back to your senses!"

Dude slammed down on the head, making Yan Cangling startled, and immediately jumped up from the chair: "What's wrong!"

Le Ziyou was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly pulled the prince who was being watched by everyone to sit down, opened his fan and covered his mouth with a snicker: "I said what's wrong with you, you can get lost in watching a play, if you really don't want to watch it, just say Even, I don’t force it.”

"Come on." Pulling Shensi back, Yan Cangling waved his hands, straightened his clothes and sat upright, "I don't know your temper yet, if I really leave, you will pry away all the wine in my house tomorrow." While talking, Yan Cangling's pupils finally focused, and when he landed on the Yuxue Terrace, he was startled.

I saw that on the Yuxue Terrace, where singing and dancing were endless, the veil used to cover it has been lifted up. With the soothing sound of the piano, more than a dozen people walked onto the platform with bare feet along the bridge built behind the stage, and surrounded the Yuxue Terrace. Formed in a circle in an orderly manner, there are men and women, their complexions may be beautiful or seductive, their dresses are very revealing, and their fair skin is clearly visible.The two people standing at the top of the stage have the most beautiful appearance, and the ones who follow the two behind them, the more they stand away from the audience, the more ordinary their appearance.

"What's more?" Yan Cangling didn't know what was in the Goulan Courtyard, so he frowned and asked in doubt.

"Hey, you don't know about that!" Le Zi came to his senses, holding a fan and beating his palms, and introduced triumphantly, "The Hibiscus Flower Fair is obviously for the children of rich families to appreciate art, but in fact, this thing is ugly. , is human trafficking.”

Yan Cangling froze, and frowned a little: "Human trafficking?" There was a heavy look in his eyes.

"Hey, don't be angry," Le Ziyou knew Yan Cangling's temperament, pressed his fan on his chest, and said in a low voice, "You also know that in today's world, taxes are heavy, and there are many poor people. Most of the people who are sold are Parents couldn’t afford to support them, so they were sent to brothels. Although it’s inhumane to sell your body, it’s better to be able to enter the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles than to live without food with your parents. Don’t let yourself feel sorry Heart, everyone has his own way, if you save one, you cannot save everyone.”

These words poured into Yan Cangling's heart like a pot of cold water, the common people suffered, but he was unable to change the status quo as a prince in the dynasty, how heartbroken he was.

"It's done, it's done, see if there is anyone pleasing to the eye, buy it back to the house, and treat it as a helper. Huh..." Le Ziyou glanced at the old bustard to the right, and nodded suspiciously, holding the fan, " Two months later, why did this old bustard change? Hey, don't worry, hurry up, hurry up, start!" After speaking, Le Ziyou geared up, waiting for the old bustard to announce the start of the auction, and bid for the person of interest.

Yan Cangling, however, was absent-minded, and focused on the seller that Cai Le Ziyou had just mentioned. Even when the bidding started, everyone in the arena shouted high prices in rough voices and buzzed, but he ignored it.When everyone gasped and the shouting stopped suddenly, he withdrew his thoughts suspiciously.

Yan Cangling followed the eyes of everyone, and saw that all the men and women on the Yuxue Terrace had been bought away, and only one man remained.

A shelf was placed beside the man, as if he had just been carried onto the stage.For unknown reasons, he did not stand up, but kneeled limply in front of the crowd with two strong men arm in arm, bowing his head and hair, with a half-covered appearance.His clothes were half open, and the red and white intertwined lights illuminated the skin inside, which immediately made everyone gasp.Even Yan Cangling's eyes were amazed, and he didn't even know how to describe the complexion. The red light was beautiful, and the skin was as white as a lotus root, even better than white snow. Let people see the smooth touch.

"Oh my God." Le Ziyou had already bought a man at this moment, and just now he was dragging the man to look up and down, and the next moment when he saw the skin of the host, his expression unconsciously became obsessed.

Just the skin makes everyone fascinated, but if you look up, it will turn all beings upside down.

The bustard covered her mouth with a silk scarf and smiled triumphantly: "Everyone, everyone must have seen this person's appearance and figure, so the reserve price for this person is very high..."

Before the word "Gao" was finished, an eager young man from a rich family stood up and asked loudly: "Quickly tell me, how much is the silver tael, I bought it!"

When one person opened his mouth, several people joined in. You yelled at each other, and started shouting the price. One person yelled "1000 taels, I bought it", and the other immediately shouted. The sentence "2000 taels" was added on the neck, and the final price was as high as "1 taels".

The old bustard laughed so hard that his mouth was about to crack, he raised his hand to silence everyone, and happily clapped his hands on the stage, making the brawny man lift up the man's head slowly: "Young lady, I won't hide it from you, this man The base price is ten, ten thousand, two!"

hiss--

The sound of gasping followed, but it was not because of the astronomical amount of 10 taels, but because of that face that was so powerful!

Le Ziyou's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he stood up suddenly, staring at the stunning face on the stage without blinking.He has been lingering in the flowers for many years, boasting a lot of sweet words, but at this moment he can't find a suitable word to describe this person's appearance. , and the charm of a woman came out of his eyebrows. In the end, he could only describe it with one word: "immortal".

"11 taels!" Immediately someone yelled, it was a fat rich businessman with a greasy face, thinking that such a "fairy" would be ruined by this person, everyone who loved the beauty also shouted the price.

Le Zi sighed, but shook her fan and sat down, jokingly patted Yan Cangling, who was standing still after the "immortal" raised his head: "Hey, why don't you ask for a price, so stunning, if you It’s also good to buy and display.”

Yan Cangling still didn't move, the expression on his face was hidden by his drooping long hair, no emotion could be seen.Le Ziyou thought that he was amazed by his beauty, so he patted his arm to try to tease him, but he was shocked to see Yan Cangling's fists with bulging veins - Yan Cangling was angry, even furious!

Le Zi shone from the back, swallowed a mouthful, and silently moved the chair three minutes away from Yan Cangling, and then looked at the "immortal", looking at it for a long time, the more he looked, the more familiar he became, and suddenly there was a light in his heart, could it be that "on stage" "Fairy" is...

"Mu Qing, calm down!" Before Le Ziyou got up to stop him, Yan Cangling walked towards the bustard who was trembling with laughter.Every step he took was as heavy as a mountain, and even the people who shouted loudly around him deliberately lowered their voices and watched him carefully.

When he walked in front of the bustard, a thunderbolt was like a mad knife drawn out of its sheath, swallowing mountains and rivers, even the bustard who had been playing with him for many years was forced to change his face slightly: "Wang... lord?" Even his voice changed. tuned up.

"Ten taels." The heavy words hit the field, and the noisy scene suddenly quieted down. Everyone froze for a moment before realizing that Yan Cangling wanted to buy the "immortal" with ten taels.

After a moment of silence, some people who didn't know Yan Cangling's identity laughed loudly——Shiliang wanted to buy someone, and it was wishful thinking!And the one who knew Yan Cangling timidly lowered his head, afraid of fighting with him and making himself feel bad.

"This person is priceless. This king only pays ten taels, and it counts as your hard work. You," Yan Cangling took a step forward. Sell?"

The old bustard took a step back, tried to put on a smiling face and said: "Our Pinfang Pavilion has its own rules for doing business. If you like this person, you will overwhelm everyone with a high price and buy him. Now you are asking such a random price, it's bad I'll be strict, how will I explain this to everyone." When she said this, she deliberately ignored the honorific title of "Prince", in order to attract the support of people who don't know Yan Cangling.

"Oh? That's right. However," Yan Cangling's eyes were filled with waves, and the smile on his mouth was so cold that it made people's hair stand on end. He took another step forward, lowered his voice and whispered in the old bustard's ear, "This person is a nobleman in the capital. , why did it appear in Fangcheng, huh?"

The old bustard's complexion changed suddenly, his eyes flickered with guilt, he forced a smile and said, "I don't know what you mean."

"Since the old bustard talks about the rules, this king will also talk to you about the rules." Yan Cangling sneered, "Before I became king, I met this person by accident in the capital. This person was rich and noble at that time, and this king thinks that he must be the son of a wealthy businessman." , or the descendants of dignitaries. But no matter who, it seems that it is not in compliance with the rules to go out of Beijing?" He bit the word "rules" to death, and he said this king, forcing the old bustard's face to turn blue and white, and the silk in his hand Juan was in a mess, her lips parted slightly, but she was too shocked by his words to utter a single sound.

Yan Cangling raised his voice a few times, and directly labeled the old bustard: "Secretly abducting others to do business, old bustard, you are so brave!"

As soon as this sound came out, everyone was startled and whispered to each other.Fangcheng is well managed. Even if it is a carnal business that is not on the table, it must pay attention to the legitimate source of population. If it is forced to abduct and sell innocent people, it will be punished as a crime.

"You are very courageous. I don't know who is your backstage master, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, or... Heh, no matter who it is, although this king is not capable of dealing with them, he is still a little boy to deal with you." ,a plate of."

"That's enough," the old bustard was already guilty, but following Yan Cangling's name, she became paler and her heart was pounding, she looked directly at Yan Cangling and said, "My lord, what do you want to do?"

Yan Cangling narrowed his eyes, whispered to the old bustard's ear and said, "It's simple, ten taels will be counted as your hard work. This king wants it."

The old bustard took a deep breath, bit his lips hard to remove the white seal, and said in a high voice: "There are so many people here today, if you bought them for ten taels, how should I explain to everyone?" Simply put, Transferred the conflict to the public.

Yan Cangling sneered, his dantian sank, and he shook his sleeves and drank loudly: "When I was sleeping in my dream, an immortal came to me in a dream, saying that he was accidentally detained by mortals because of his impaired immortal power, and he has not been able to return to the heaven. The king came to help. After the king woke up from the dream, he saw a picture scroll placed next to the king's ear, and when he unfolded it, he looked exactly like the 'immortal' on the stage!"

As soon as the "Ben Wang" was said, the ridicule just now stopped suddenly as if someone had grabbed his throat.There is only one king in Fangcheng, although he is just an idle prince, he is a man of status after all, whoever dares to offend him will be killed, there was a sudden silence on the court, and everyone looked at Yan Cangling with bated breath.

I saw a picture scroll was taken out from Yan Cangling's sleeve, with one hand shaking, the scroll fell down, and a man slowly revealed it, with a smile on his mouth and soft eyes like looking at spring water, he was exactly the same as the face of the "immortal" on the stage!

Everyone gasped again, the moment when the "immortal" appeared, and it was impossible for Yan Cangling to paint the picture scroll of the "immortal" in such a short period of time, could it be that the "immortal" was really dreaming?

"How can the appearance of an immortal be tarnished by money and vulgar things! Today he lives in Huajie and Liuxiang, but his immortal power is damaged and he cannot return to the heaven. If we take advantage of people's danger, the return of immortals in the future will definitely be a disaster for us. Therefore This king presents ten liang as a gift, and begs the old bustard to release the immortal back to the heavenly court, and don't harm innocent people like me because of temporary selfishness!"

"My God, look!"

As soon as Yan Cangling's words fell, everyone exclaimed one after another, only to see that the two strong men on the Yuxue Terrace had disappeared, and the "immortal" was lying on the shelf, and suddenly a flock of birds flew over from the sky, surrounding the sleeping place. On the side of the "immortal", tweeted.

At this time, it was the moonlit night of birds resting, and so many unknown flying birds suddenly came, who was not surprised. Yan Cangling's eyes flashed strangely, and he immediately lifted his robe and knelt down, and kowtowed heavily to the "immortal" on the stage: "We are waiting for the ignorant!" Ignorant, disturbing the immortals, begging the immortals to calm down and let innocent people like me go."

The majestic prince bowed his head and knelt down, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and was at a loss. At this moment, the "immortal" on the stage suddenly said: "This gentleman came from the ninth heaven. I didn't check for a while. To be caught in such a filthy place, and even be treated as a plaything, you have so much courage!"

When everyone heard this, they dared not doubt the identity of the "immortal", they immediately knelt down in fright, kowtowed and begged for mercy just like Yan Cangling, pointing at the old bustard with hateful eyes, and asked the "immortal" to find the culprit, the bustard, to settle the score.

Seeing how foolish the crowd was, the old man believed in Yan Cangling. His face was green and white, and he was shaking with anger. Under Yan Cangling's play, everyone unanimously called the old man to accept Yan Cangling's twelve taels and let him go. Don't disturb the peace of the "immortals" and implicate them.

Now that the matter has come to an end, what else can the old bustard say? Originally, this "immortal" came from an unjustified way. In addition to the threats from everyone, she had to reluctantly part with the golden jar, and took away Yan Cangling's twelve taels bitterly. The cost of dispelling the evil star Yan Cangling.

Yan Cangling, on the other hand, said that as a royal prince, he was blessed by the real dragon emperor, and only by doing this in his house to send the immortals back to the heaven would not incur the wrath of the heavens, "accepting the beauty to return".

A farce ended in a hurry, and the crowd had no time to watch the play. After watching Yan Cangling send the "immortal" to the golden step, they left one after another. Only a few sighs circulated in Pinfang Pavilion.

If you ask who this "immortal" is?Yan Cangling has been looking for a benefactor for seven years, and Ji Fu feels the same way.
