Chapter 40 A handsome young man by the stream

Although Jian and everyone have become Aunt Jian, since the other party finally made such a proposal, Ning Que will naturally not pretend to be stupid by refusing. He has not forgotten his true purpose of searching for traces of the brothel in Anli, the Great Wall, and he is a hoarder. The young man who came here could visit the best brothel in Chang'an like a distinguished guest. He was very satisfied with this kind of treatment.

Go down the stairs in the west wing. Behind the building is a very flat lawn. From the gravel path between the lawns through a white wall, there is a stream under the starry sky. There are several small squares scattered on both sides of the stream. In the courtyard, there was faint singing mixed with the melodious sound of silk and bamboo. They must have been the dancers preparing for the palace celebration.

The personal maid was already in a bad mood after being scolded. Now she saw Ning Que looking around with his hands behind his back, looking like a tourist visiting a scenic spot. Her face became even more frosty, and she said mockingly: "That's right." I don't know what's wrong with everyone, Jane, to be so kind to a poor person like you. You are obviously a scholar, but you don't know how to politely decline. That's right. You must be very thick-skinned when you are so poor and still want to go shopping. of."

Since he was said to be very thick-skinned, Ning Que naturally had to show his face, pretending that he didn't understand the sarcasm in the little maid's words, and responded gently: "Since Mr. Chu is willing to treat us, I can't stop him. His interest is a matter between men. It sounds complicated, but it's actually very simple."

"You're just a boy, why do you boast about being a man?" the little maid laughed: "It's just that he was invited to drink a few glasses of wine, but he even had to pay for it on his behalf. He is not related to you, how can you do that? I can do it."

Hearing the words "boy and man", Ning Que couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Li Yu in the Weicheng courtyard. At that time, Li Yu was not a princess but just a little maid. Tonight, another little maid talked about these things. Not many days have passed since that scene, but why does it feel like it was years ago?

The maidservant had returned to the palace. Countless officials and people were excited and busy for her return. He also came to Chang'an, and then inexplicably started to visit the brothel, and first heard the songs specially arranged to welcome her back. I thought At this section, he couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny?" the little maid scolded with a frown.

Ning Que spread his hands to show that he had no objection. He just wanted to inquire about those things at this time, and did not want to waste this rare opportunity to visit a brothel by arguing with this little maid.

Knowing the status of the Red Sleeve Singing and Dancing House in the hearts of high-ranking officials, he had a vague feeling that the censor Zhang Yiqi's place of pleasure should be here, because only here is enough privacy and hierarchy.

How to inquire about temptation? Neither pretending to be stupid nor pretending to be naive was appropriate. He began to tell some interesting stories about what happened in the border town. He believed that these rough and sandy stories would be useful to the man next to him who had lived in a pile of powder all day long but had heard a lot about the border towns. The little maid of the Legend of the Soldiers is very attractive.

Ning Que has always been very skillful in dealing with the role of a maid. This has nothing to do with the princess who is far away in the palace, but because over the years, he has always had a little maid who doesn't like to smile and is the coldest by his side. Even Sang Sang, the best cold-faced maid in the world, was treated obediently by him - of course, this was just his self-perception and may not be true - and he had no problem dealing with the little maid Jian, who was easy to catch.

Sure enough, within a few steps of walking by the stream, the little maid started to smile happily and excitedly started to exchange interesting gossip about their respective industries with Ning Que. Ning Que understood why the song and dance troupe still had to do prostitute work, and knew what was going on in the backyard. Among the beautiful girls, who is the most popular, who is cheated, and who is the exclusive servant of the master who has the highest official position in the court.

The more beautiful girls there are, the easier it is to make money by being beautiful, because this method is very easy, and the input-output ratio is really amazing. You must know that the proportion of oirans from the Red Sleeves who become the concubines of high-ranking officials in various countries is really Extremely high, you have earned enough money in this life, and you will have a good destination in the end, who wouldn't want to?

When everyone founded Red Sleeves, Jian didn't want to be a clean singing and dancing house. They just wanted to survive in a world dominated by men. How could a seemingly glamorous and respected singing and dancing house stand up to the princes, nobles and even the royal family? pressure? So in the end she had no choice but to succumb to reality and even began to cater to reality.

The flower trees by the stream are in full bloom, and the starlight is reflected in the gurgling water waves and breaks into countless pieces. The world behind the white wall looks so clean and graceful. Ning Que walks under the starlight with his hands behind his back, like a poet, but looking at With such a clean scenery, he couldn't feel much relaxation.

Little boy, you can't have any worries.

Ning Que thought about the gossip words spoken by the little maid for a while, then shook his head and threw the emotions in his mind into the stream. He wandered along the stream. Occasionally, when he met a beautiful girl walking on the stone path, he would turn slightly sideways and politely give way to her, showing great courtesy. demeanor.

As mentioned before, if a young scholar of fifteen or sixteen years old is asked to look calm, it will always make people feel a little funny. Fortunately, ugly people are funny and disgusting, but if you add immaturity to the funny, it will become So cute.

After entering Chang'an City, bathing was much more convenient than in Weicheng. His slightly curly black hair, which was dirty and oily when he was at the border fortress, had long been washed clean and refreshing by Sangsang's small hands. Clean and clear eyebrows naturally have a refreshing look.

In particular, the hot and sour noodles sold at the stall near Forty Alley are so delicious. A few thin slices of beef are added to the soup to add a great flavor. He and Sangsang have been eating this these days. Growing food has made him a bit fat. Now he looks cute and harmless, and very easy to like.

The girls who were given the courtesy of giving way turned to look at him curiously, and they liked him a little when they saw how innocent and clean he was. When someone found out that it was the young man in the building who was laughed at, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. . The girls had seen many strange stories in the building, but it was the first time that the Jian family had ordered someone to take a young man around the building. Everyone was so curious and excited that they surrounded Ning Que and refused to let him go.

The little maid was squeezed outside a group of Yingying Yanyan, looking inside angrily, filled with a sense of frustration that her own toy was snatched away by the older sisters, she angrily moved the Jane family out with her hands on her hips, and did The little tigress roared angrily: "Don't harm other people's children. This boy is a scholar who is going to take the college entrance examination, and he is also... what, are you willing to seal that big red envelope? Get out of here!"

"Yo yo yo, look at our family, Xiaocao is anxious. My sisters are just looking at this young man and borrowing it for fun. Why are you so anxious? Hey, he is actually a talented person who is about to take the college entrance examination. So we should take a good look at it. "

A series of extremely fast but slightly hoarse voices sounded, and the crowd of girls from various families differentiated. A beautiful and dazzling woman walked over with gentle steps. I saw that this woman was about twenty years old, with an extremely plump figure, exposed under the veil. The arms and waist outside the skirt are really round and round, and she looks so arrogant when she walks, as if she can swing out of water.

She had a small face, so she covered up all the fat on her body. She didn't feel bloated or even plump at all, and she smelled of delicate jasper in a strange way.

Seeing this woman, Ning Que's eyes suddenly lit up, and he silently shouted in his heart: It's her!
