Although the strange tune was not loud, it was extremely harsh and resounded throughout the flower building.
The cheers and applause stopped for a moment, and everyone looked over. It was an extremely expensive and status-symbol private room on the second floor.
Standing beside the building was a middle-aged man in brocade robes, with a beard, his hands behind his back, and a sneer. He looked like he didn't take everyone present seriously.
This surprised many people. Jiang Yugui, the legitimate son of the powerful Jiang family in the capital, was known to everyone. Who dared to openly provoke him?
Jiang Yugui and Song Ruqing also changed their expressions. The servant of Jiang Mansion in front looked at him coldly: "Since you don't appreciate it, why can't you say it? You can just pay it yourself afterwards!"
The middle-aged man opposite smiled indifferently: "If you settle the money in advance, wouldn't my young master owe a favor? My young master doesn't want to owe a favor!"
"My hands are itchy again!"
Jiang Yugui's face was gloomy, and he stood up to give the order.
I saw the middle-aged man opposite suddenly took out a sign and hung it on the wooden pillar outside the private room, with the word "Shi" in capital letters written on it.
This simple word seemed to have a strange magic power. The guests all over the floor showed their original expressions and sat down with fists clasped in their hands.
The servants of the Jiang Mansion in front also shrank their necks, bowed their hands, and stood aside.
Jiang Yugui and Song Ruqing's faces turned green and white, and then they smiled, as if the matter was over.
Xin Zhuo became curious and asked, "Who is that person opposite?"
It couldn't be that the emperor came to visit the brothel privately in disguise, right? If you play like this, I have to treat you today and then go over and have a drink with you. We are cousins, aren't we?
Song Ruqing smiled and said: "Lu Jiu, the son of Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is naturally not as good as me in terms of family background, but he is the tenth prince in the capital and the tenth disciple of the emperor! If we have a dispute about something as trivial as visiting the flower house, It’s hard for us not to give him face!”
Jiang Yugui also lowered his voice: "The title of Ten Young Masters sounds a bit embarrassing, but it is the late emperor's will. No one dares to treat it with caution! That Lu Jiu opposite is deliberately suppressing me to build momentum for entering the Taiping Palace in two months. I’m preparing for the Fengtian Tower, but I don’t come here for a lot of time at night. I come to join in the fun during the day, and I’m still ahead of me. Sooner or later, I’ll find my place again.”
The tone is not very confident.
"So that's it. It's just that the streets of the capital are full of princes and nobles. How did these top ten young men come to be?" Xin Zhuo asked in surprise. Are they handsome? Good family background?
"Your Majesty, you don't know something!"
Song Ruqing introduced with a serious look: "First, he has a clean family background; second, he is a member of the imperial family; third, he must be proficient in poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, music, and military tactics; fourth, and most importantly, before the age of thirty, Enter the half-step master!
Today's top ten young masters are all masters who have entered the half-step Grand Master, and are short of a first-tier Grand Master. It is said that the first one is Li Zhiqiu of Taiping Palace, the second one is Ji Ligu, the prince of Mengyang County, and the third one is Zhenwu Sishui Qingliu. It’s the realm of a great master! "
Half-step Grandmaster, Grandmaster...
Xin Zhuo's first feeling was that the force value of your world has collapsed? When did the Grand Master become so worthless? Entering the sixth level of Fufeng Mansion before he was twenty-five years old, he was already famous!
Xiong Zhang suddenly asked for him: "When did the Half-Step Grandmaster become so worthless?"
Song Ruqing's eyes lingered on Xiong Zhang for a moment, and then she smiled and said: "This girl doesn't know something. Have you ever heard of the blue rain in the twenty-fifth year of Tianshou?"
Xiong Zhang thought for a while and said: "It was last year, of course. Of course I know that the green rain fell for seven days. It is said that not only the entire eighteen states of Zhou Dynasty, but also Nanli, Dongyi, Xiyu and Beicang, all The dwellings of mankind, wherever the sun and moon shine, are all below!”
Song Ruqing opened the folding fan with a bang: "According to what the old Heavenly Master Qin Tianjian said, the stars in the sky have shifted, twenty-eight constellations are connected, and there is a hidden immortal in the deep mountains and rivers that causes the sky and the earth to roar with the sun and the moon!
This is an unprecedented change in the world, and all warriors in the world are making rapid progress in their martial arts! Not to mention everyone, I was still at the sixth level last year, but I broke through the fifth level in just one year, and I am still confused. "
Xiong Zhang thought for a while, then whispered to his eldest son: "Sister Qingzhu and I are also young masters who only broke through three months ago!"
Xin Zhuo remained silent. He was not very interested in his martial arts realm or the stars, and he didn't know how to evaluate it. His martial arts realm did not require painstaking training on his own, he only needed to sacrifice to the spirits.
At this time, the attention has flown to a gorgeous stage in the lobby opposite, where more than a dozen musicians have just come up, and I am afraid that the daytime oiran is about to appear.
Song Ruqing and the others didn't see it, so they quickly pretended to hold their fists in the bear's paw: "It turns out that the young master is here. I don't know whether the young master is the prince's concubine or a maid. We admire him very much..."
"I admire you so much! This girl looks down on you completely! Just sit still!"
Xiong Zhang smiled coldly, ignored him, and followed his eldest son's gaze.
Everyone looked embarrassed, and then they all noticed something unusual on the table opposite. They couldn't help but sit down and flapped their folding fans: "Here we come! I wonder how stunningly beautiful this oiran is, and what level of martial arts he has?"
Jiang Yugui even licked his lips: "Brothers, you can't compete with me, I'm bound to win!"
"Save it, save it, I'm tired of waiting!"
…
"Ding Dong..."
As the twelve musicians played, the whole building was completely silent. The courtesan and swordsman finally came out after being long-awaited.
really!
As the music became louder and louder, more than ten girls with slender figures and good looks walked out barefoot from behind the pillars, and then a stunning beauty jumped out lightly.
This woman has a voluptuous figure, wearing an exquisite gold corset, and her skin is as white and tender as milk. Although she is covered with a veil, it can be guessed that her appearance is extremely beautiful, especially when she holds a huge sword with cold light in her hand, twisting and turning There was a swordsman's fierceness exuding in the room.
The martial arts realm is hazy, and seems to be deliberately concealed, but the faint aura is very mellow, maybe it is a young master?
The surprise of all the guests in the hall was truly extraordinary!
Little Grandmaster Swordsman and Oiran? This is completely different from the weak woman in the past, which is so heartbreaking.
"good!"
Someone couldn't help shouting.
But I saw the oiran dancing his sword gracefully and singing gracefully like an oriole:
"The fragrance of red lotus root lingers in the jade mat in autumn. I undress lightly and get on the orchid boat alone..."
While singing, he glanced at Xin Zhuo and others, his eyes were like flowing waves, making people think.
"good!"
The whole house was cheering for a while.
Jiang Yugui, Song Ruqing and others thought that they had attracted the attention of the beautiful lady, and they couldn't help but feel proud, behave wildly, and shake their heads.
Xin Zhuo suddenly felt that the oiran was looking at him. This was not a man's sixth sense of whether she liked me, but... he really felt that this woman was staring at him!
And there was a feeling of embarrassment that went straight from the heel to the scalp. Didn't this poem be composed by myself...copied by myself?
The woman's sword dance became faster and faster, and the song became more and more wonderful. She looked at her at least three or four times during the process, and finally finished singing, bowed and saluted, graceful yet sassy.
The whole hall applauded again, but someone was interested in the lyrics and music, and couldn't help but asked loudly: "May I ask, girl, who wrote the lyrics and music?"
The oiran had already stepped aside and was sitting cross-legged behind a pair of guzhengs. He nodded slightly when he heard the words: "The poem was written by Master Jiang of Qiufeng Academy! The song was compiled by the slave family himself. It's inelegant and laughable!"
Some people couldn't help but suddenly realized: "What Master Qiufeng Academy has done is truly remarkable!"
Xin Zhuo frowned, these Qiugong Pavilion masters are not too shameless. Even if you copied it yourself, you can't take it as your own. How can I be worthy of Li Qingzhao?
The steward of the "Shi" room opposite suddenly walked out: "My young master is offering a reward of 10,000 yuan in silver! Such beautiful words are worthy of being written by a master who has learned from ancient and modern times in Qiufeng Academy. It is amazing!"
"This poem was not written by Master Jiang!"
He Liancheng suddenly walked out and said loudly: "This poem was written by the next teacher, and now I have to rectify my teacher's name!"
