There are five most famous places in Lizhou, namely Beijiangnan, South Shuixuan, West Gobi and East Hongzhu.
Among them, there are many talented people from the south of the Yangtze River, many beauties from Hongzhu, gentry from Shuixuan, and great people from the Gobi.
Red Candle Town is a picturesque place with a red candle river that looks like rouge flowing through it. Boats and boats float by, and there are many beautiful ladies holding oil-paper umbrellas strutting towards the other side. There are countless concubines in brothels and oirans in red mansions. , the smoke and fire atmosphere of the world is very heavy, and the alleys reveal a prosperous and prosperous scene of all the people.
"Selling pancakes and fruit, two for three yuan, two for three yuan..."
"My lord, my lord, go slowly. Come and play often next time..."
"It's like carving sugar and painting fish. It doesn't cost money if it's not sweet. It doesn't cost money."
"..."
Hongzhu Tower is a famous flower tower in Hongzhu Town, also euphemistically called "Xianting".
Many talented people, strangers and strangers, as well as some noble princes, the apple of their eye, and even the Qin royal family and prominent ministers from other dynasties will come here because all the people who enter this place are full of praises when they come out, and then Through the vigorous publicity of some lobbyists and the spread of poems by literati, a familiar sentence has been spread since entering Lizhou in the Qin Dynasty.
"It is a great pity for people to live without entering Hongzhu, and to not enjoy the fairyland after entering Hongzhu."
Not to mention anything else, this "fairy court" was later renamed after the red candle, which shows its extraordinaryness.
The Red Candle Tower is very large, covering the central area of the town with excellent location. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a building. In fact, it is also called "Little Red Candle Town". It is well connected with traffic in all directions, but outsiders can You will never be unable to find a path, because there are bright red ribbons on each road to guide you.
Only by walking along the red ribbon can you step into the Red Candle Tower.
As night falls, it is also the busiest time of the Red Candle Tower. It is full of people, but the inside is not as imagined as a brothel. Everyone who has experienced it knows that it is really like a fairyland inside, with no filth and dirty things. Naked men and women doing vulgar things.
"Xiao Yi, do you know what is the main reason why Red Candle Tower is so famous?"
Qin Feng, who was dressed in black feathers, looked dignified, with his hands behind his back. Along the way, there were many beautiful ladies around him, using their unfailing "lofty ambitions" to recruit.
The Red Candle Tower has the most such things, but if a young handsome man is really enthusiastic and follows those half-naked women into a certain room, thinking that something beautiful in the world can really happen, then he is totally wrong. In the Red Candle Tower, Here, there is a saying that is most popular among the people.
After hearing this, Jiang Yinu, a beauty with a charming body and a silver pantyhose on her head, opened her lips and said, "Young Master, I dare you to introduce me..."
"It's easy for a gentle breeze to attract beauty's popularity, but it's hard to buy a beautiful bed with a million dollars."
That is to say, a poor scholar can enjoy the opportunity to talk to a beautiful lady in the Red Candle Tower, but even a wealthy person or a powerful person can hardly spend a night with the beautiful lady in the Red Candle Tower.
Behind the two of them, the mistress dressed up like a book boy.
The linen clothes that were originally patched with countless patches have been replaced by cloth clothes at this time. The dirty and braided "weeds" on the head have also been taken care of. They wear a small crown and two sheaths on their backs. They look like a long shape, with a knife and sword?
With this outfit, even though his face is still pockmarked, his facial features are regular, but he is no longer as unpleasant as before.
“It’s hard to buy a beautiful bed...”
The younger son muttered to himself. Somehow, maybe it was because the words of the sisters beside him were too imaginative. For him who had not yet accepted many worldly things, he soon lowered his head and looked as if he were a child. Shy as a woman, she followed Qin Feng closely.
Of course, Qin Feng saw all this in his eyes, but he just didn't point it out. After all, you have to see the world before you see it. Otherwise, you will always be like a baby bird, how can you grow up?
He smiled and said, "It's hard to buy a beautiful bed. It's really hard to buy... But according to rumors in the countryside, it seems that one person has succeeded since the establishment of the Red Candle House?"
Zi Qiujiang pointed her red lips with her green fingers and asked doubtfully: "There is a person? Xiao Yike has never heard of it."
"I guess she must be the one who is so beautiful, right? Let's not talk about the beauty of the red candle woman. According to the red candle custom, the red candle beauty has a face like jade. She is proficient in all the eighteen martial arts on the bed, but her body is pure and pure. , guard your body like jade, it is said that this is all to prepare for meeting the person you like in the future."
"But I have never heard of a woman who can make a red candle take the initiative to fall in love with someone in her youth. Young Master, what you said is the first time I have heard of it."
Qin Feng stopped and looked at the countless lantern lilies on the Qinghe River in front of him, which looked particularly dazzling in the night. He smiled and said: "So it's just a rumor in the countryside, not even a rumor in the world..."
At this time, the flow of people around him gradually accelerated, and everyone was running forward.
"Did you hear that the Red Candlework Festival has started..."
"What!? The Red Candle Flower Party, which is a once-in-a-century event, happened to us this year?"
"Yes, yes, my dear friend, please take the first step to avoid having the good position taken away by others later. I have been coming to Hongzhu Town for many years, but I have never seen him once."
At this time, the young man, who had his head lowered all the time, couldn't hide his curiosity when listening to the noise around him, and couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Qin, what is the Red Candle Flower Club?"
"Hey, our kindness should be repaid by a spring. Are you willing to raise your head?"
Being teased by Qin Feng, Xiao Sanzi's face turned red. After all, when he was at the Chunfeng Inn, he didn't know if he had been kicked by a donkey. He quietly and secretly whispered this to Sister Xiao Yi. After all, it was Sister Xiao Yi who took action at that time. , saved his worthless life from the hands of that adulterer.
"Sir, please stop teasing me. This Red Candle Flower Party is similar to that of a woman tossing a hydrangea ball to select a son-in-law. However, the difference in this Red Candle Flower Party is that the hydrangea is not thrown by the oiran, but by the oiran. It came from what the talented men asked for themselves."
"Then how should I ask?"
The third son asked with great interest.
Along the way, listening to the words of Mr. Qin and Sister Xiao Yi beside them, they already understood that the woman from Hongzhu Town was the dream existence of many men in the world, let alone the oiran? !
"Hey, is it possible that the young man also wants to try the water? Can he hug the beauty? I think it's pretty good. What if the hydrangea falls on you, the young man is still very lucky."
Qin Feng said in an extremely serious tone.
Hearing that Qin Feng's tone was not joking, the mistress hurriedly waved his hands and said with a bitter look on his face: "Young Master is really joking. All the good things must have gone to someone like the young master first. How could he be reduced to the rank of the mistress?" Coming up..."
His tone gradually became a little lower, but he soon realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He scratched his face and laughed and said, "Besides, there is such a stunning woman as Sister Yi who makes the third son look good all day long. It is the third son who has cultivated for countless generations." What a blessing, I think the so-called red candle woman is not as beautiful as Sister Xiao Yi..."
Qin Feng and Jiang Yinu, who was standing beside him, did not make any comments when facing the self-deprecating words of the third son, nor did they make too many comments on the matter. After all, they were like the third son who was born in a poor family and had low self-esteem due to his appearance. Too much is visible.
That's something engraved in the bone marrow, and it can't be changed in a short while.
Both sides of the Red Candle River were already crowded with many spectators.
The peach blossom trees on the shore were in full bloom. At this time, with high-pitched shouts, three flower boats came slowly from the upper reaches of the river. At the same time, countless dazzling Kongming lanterns appeared everywhere, and in the river, there were even more lanterns and lotus flowers swaying.
The intoxicating fragrance of flowers overflows here... On the sailing boat, there are three women covered by white gauze holding poles.
"Aren't those three girls the most popular people in Red Candle House?"
"Yes, that barefoot woman's name is Zihua, and her guzheng skills are unparalleled."
"And the woman in the middle with a long sword on her waist is not the dancing girl Qiu Yi. Who can't be moved by her fish-dragon sword skills?"
"The woman on the left, who is that famous concubine?"
"This... under the night, her face is covered, and she has no obvious features on her body. It's hard to tell which female concubine she is, but she can stand side by side with the dancing concubine and the piano concubine. She must be quite famous in this Red Candle Tower."
"From this point of view, isn't Hongzhu's oiran this time in the flower boat?"
"It must be so, but why are there three? In which sail is the oiran? What is the oiran's name?"
"This dear friend, you can tell at a glance that she is a layman. She is the oiran of the Red Candle Blossom Club. Until the moment she shows up, no one will know who she is. Even Nian Geng has no clue about her."
"So mysterious?"
"..."
For a moment, the onlookers on the shore began to talk and discuss.
On the second floor of the teahouse not far from here, two people were drinking tea and watching from the window.
It was the middle-aged man Zhang Chao and the scholar Li Hanxue who had entered Hongzhu Town with Qin Feng and others.
This teahouse was also packed with seats due to the Red Candle Flower Party. Many young talents did not bother to watch below. Instead, like Zhang Chao and the other two, they chose a place with excellent terrain to watch this scene. Flower party drama.
"Mr. Zhang, let's see what this flower can do. Although we have plenty of time now, we shouldn't miss the mundane matter of choosing a son-in-law for an oiran, right?"
Li Hanxue looked at the bustling scene below and said.
"Vulgar? This is called Ya, Hanxue. The Red Candle Flower Festival is also a famous event in the Qin Kingdom. Many people from the world, prominent wealthy children, and even people with such skill will show up one by one. Appear."
"skill?"
Zhang Chao saw that Li Hanxue hadn't reacted for a while, so he glanced towards the back of the crowd below.
Li Hanxue immediately took a look, and when he saw the appearance clearly, he quietly used a little more strength to hold the teacup in his hand.
The young master with black feathers, the beauty with purple fur, and... the waiter wearing an unknown kind of double scabbard?
"But unfortunately, I am not interested in the people behind you. I will give you three breaths and disappear in front of me immediately. Otherwise, the fate of the person on the ground will be you..."
Before he finished speaking, the leader of the bearded man took a big step to the side and jumped out of the window to escape. The speed was so fast that all the brothers around him were slowed down... They all followed suit.
Before the bald man finally left, he took a deep look at the man in black feathers.
He had seen such extraordinary means of controlling objects through the air while walking in the rivers and lakes before, but those kind of characters were existences that he could never touch.
I never thought that I was lucky enough to be able to escape after fighting today.
After a while, the building was empty, and the inn immediately seemed empty. Everything looked broken and broken, with drinks and sawdust scattered everywhere, and a headless corpse on the ground, which made people unbearable to look at.
Qin Feng just glanced at it, and the purple fur beauty beside him hurriedly spoke.
"Young Master, Xiao Yi took action without permission, please punish me."
There was a hint of guilt in his words.
Qin Feng shook his head with a smile and said calmly: "In that case, you should have taken action. After all, you are doing it for an innocent person."
"Second brother, second brother..."
After shouting one after another, I saw a trembling figure emerging from under a pile of broken and messy square tables. It was the waiter who was "fighting against injustice" from before.
When the waiter heard that Mr. Black Ling actually called him, he looked frightened for a moment. He had seen everything that had just happened. He controlled objects from the air with one hand. He had never seen such magical methods in his life. However, this is many times better than those knights wielding long swords in the past.
"Brother, what's your name..."
"My...my name is, you can just call me mistress."
"Brother Xiaosanzi, you helped us a lot just now. Come on...this is your sword."
"Don't dare, don't dare. The two guest officers are so powerful in martial arts. The young ones shouldn't come out to cause trouble... This is just a broken wooden sword, a worthless thing. How dare you call it a matching sword."
The young master was shocked and quickly took the wooden sword. He originally thought that he would be scolded by the young master, saying that he had ruined a big thing and was not capable enough to show off. But on the contrary, the reality was very different from what he thought. .
Qin Feng looked around and said apologetically: "Xiaoyi, why don't you hurry up and compensate the store?"
"Yes, sir."
The purple-fur beauty responded and took out a few ingots of silver from her sleeves.
Judging from its weight, it weighs dozens of taels.
"You can't accept this small amount of money. Master, you should hand it to the shopkeeper. This inn belongs to him."
The waiter was also a simple man. He put the money in front of his eyes for the second time and still had doubts in his heart.
Qin Feng laughed and pointed at the inn and said: "Brothers, Xiaosanzi, look at this inn now, where is the person in charge?"
"this..."
The mistress looked around, and sure enough, besides herself, the innkeeper who was in charge of the inn had already fled to who knows where.
In the end, he accepted it...perhaps he still felt uneasy and regretful after accepting such a large amount of money. He also said, "Young master, you will definitely leave later. I will go to the stable to help you pull out the carriage first."
Before Qin Feng could respond, the mistress had already ran out in a hurry.
At this time, Zhang Chao and others came over to bow and thank him.
"This young master just came to help, and we are really grateful."
"I wonder who the young master and this girl are?"
Qin Feng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, as well as the scholars beside him and the few followers behind him who were not ordinary people at first sight.
Zhang Chao, Li Hanxue and others only heard the slender man in front of them say in confusion: "They are just fellow travelers."
