The night fell quietly again, and the East City of Xinzheng, as the center of pleasure places in the city, was naturally still brightly lit and bustling with people. The sounds of singing and dancing mixed with the playing of various musical instruments, as well as the soul-crushing laughter, formed a unique and mesmerizing sound in this Korean capital.
Despite the assassination of Zuo Sima Liu Yi, there was still noisy in Zilanxuan.
The spacious main hall was brightly lit, and musicians sat on both sides and played frequently.
Surrounded by rows of elegant pavilions, they were filled with men in fine clothes, some young and vigorous, some old, but no matter their age or clothing, everyone looked intoxicated and enjoying themselves. Those charming women with heavy make-up either sat in their arms or rubbed their backs and shoulders. Their hands as light as wicker held up the wine bottles, and they never forgot to put a delicate smile on their faces.
However, these men's eyes were not on the women beside them. They hugged these charming women and looked at the lotus platform in the center of the main hall.
The lotus platform is a shallow pool with a small fountain spraying clean water inside. There are lotus flowers planted in the pool, but it seems that it is not the time for the lotus flowers to bloom yet. There are only green lotus leaves in the air, but no lotus flowers in bloom.
Of course, the guests in the Purple Orchid Pavilion did not care about this matter. Naturally, they could not come to the Purple Orchid Pavilion to admire these lotus flowers, but to admire the more delicate "flowers".
However, it was rare that all the guests turned their attention to this lotus platform.
Because, there are several young women standing on the lotus platform. They are wearing elegant silk white dresses, with bare lotus feet, stepping on the lotus leaves in the lotus platform, as if they are the ones who are really blooming on the lotus platform. lotus.
They were born into powerful families and had seen all kinds of charming women, not to mention they were frequent visitors to Zilanxuan. When they saw these innocently dressed girls by chance, they felt that there was something different about changing their style.
Just like you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, occasionally trying some side dishes from the mountains and wild fields makes you even more appetizing.
These girls in white dresses stepped on the lotus platform and danced gracefully. The clear water sprayed from the small fountain fell into the lotus platform, and all the splashes fell on these women, making their white dresses wet.
The water-stained white dresses clung tightly to the delicate bodies of these women, perfectly showing their graceful curves in front of the guests. The translucent tulle dresses that were stained with water also showed through. The beautiful and delicate bodies of the girls are reflected.
The lotus is originally a flower of purity, but these "lotus" pure girls wearing white dresses in front of them are clearly dignified and elegant in their movements, but they suddenly give people a feeling of being completely charming. Pure and charming can appear at the same time. These girls, coupled with the extreme sense of contrast, can't help but make people "appetite".
And looking at the snow-white skin that was half exposed and half hidden under the dress because the dress was wet, the guests felt more and more uncontrollable.
Frankness may not be more stimulating than being half-hidden or half-revealed. Many guests from wealthy backgrounds, regardless of their status and image, walked out of the elegant pavilion and came to the lotus platform to watch the dance, letting the water splashed by these women when they danced. No one felt the slightest objection to their expensive clothes.
On the contrary, some people can't help but lower their heads and put the tip of their noses to the corners of their clothes that have been splashed with water, sniffing the water spray with the scent of girls' feet.
Due to the unique style of Zilanxuan, the business of Zilanxuan, which had been somewhat bleak due to Zuo Sima Liu Yi's assassination outside Zilanxuan, is now booming again, and guests are willing to come even if they take risks. During this visit, Zilanxuan even had a much higher passenger flow than before.
All the distinguished guests and merchants could not help but secretly admire Zi Nu, the proprietress of Zi Lan Xuan, for her ability to resolve the crisis that the assassination had brought to Zi Lan Xuan with just a few moves. No wonder Zilanxuan has been established in Xinzheng for many years, but no one can match it.
On the top floor of Zilanxuan, in a luxurious room
A wine pot was lying quietly on the stove. The wine in the wine pot had been boiled, and the rolling wine hit the wall of the wine pot, making a slight sound.
A delicate hand with pink nails sprinkled a few powders on the flames, and the dancing fireworks slowly extinguished.
That hand picked up a wooden spoon and poured the hot wine in the pot into a square jade cup. Then he picked up a few petals from the inlaid bamboo basket on the table and sprinkled them gently into the cup. The warm wine aroma and light floral aroma are mixed together, giving it a long and comfortable mellow aroma.
The wine has been boiled, and the woman, with purple clothes and purple hair and a graceful figure, gently holds the wine glass. She stands up and walks towards the screen with mountains, rivers and clouds painted on it.
The screen is carved from sandalwood, with clear lines, showing wealth.
Through the bright light in the room, you can clearly see the silhouette of a person reflected on it. This silhouette is looking down at a bamboo slip.
"Mr. Zhang Ji, the wine has been warmed."
The woman was holding the wine glass in her hand. The ripples in the wine glass had calmed down, reflecting her mature and charming face.
Zhang Ji took the wine glass and put the tip of his nose close to the mouth of the glass. The aroma of wine dyed his nose, and the faint aroma of peach blossoms penetrated the tip of his nose. The refreshing but not heavy floral fragrance made people feel comfortable. He unconsciously relaxed his stiff muscles and let go of certain things. Secretly alert.
Take a brief sip, and the sweetness of the peach blossoms penetrates into the mellow wine as it cooks in the stove. It is clear and sweet, smooth in the throat, hot in the abdomen, and the wine is weak. This peach blossom wine, which has not yet been released to the public, will definitely be popular. Respected and loved by those literati.
"Miss Zi Nu's wine-making skills are really exquisite. In the land of Sanjin, I'm afraid no one can be my rival." Zhang Ji admired sincerely.
"I'm just the proprietress of a small singing and dancing studio. I don't dare to claim to be the best in the Three Jin Dynasty." Zi Nu smiled softly, slowly spread her lavender eyebrows, and looked at Zhang Ji with fluorescence in her beautiful eyes. "Sir, you can turn Zi Lanxuan's predicament around just by wearing a white dress, which is quite Tao Zhu's style."
In the past half month, because of the assassination of Zuo Sima Liu Yi, the dignitaries were also worried about their own safety and were unwilling to come to Zilanxuan in the near future. Ji Wuye seems to have deliberately dispatched the city defense troops to patrol the vicinity of Zilanxuan, euphemistically called careful defense, but the vicious soldiers often arrest those merchants and scholars who want to visit Zilanxuan on the grounds of suspicious behavior. In the end, they were discouraged, so almost no customers came to the door in the past half month.
Although Zilanxuan has accumulated a lot of wealth because of Zi Nu's good management, it also has such a large group of sisters to support, so there are almost no guests for half a month, which has caused great economic damage to Zilanxuan. loss.
At this time, Zhang Ji came to Zilanxuan on the pretext of investing in shares, and came up with several ideas to revitalize Zilanxuan's business.
After all, as a lustful person, Zhang Ji has the knowledge and experience of later generations, and he knows better than Zi Nu how to capture the heart of a lustful person.
The contrast between purity and charm, the snow-white skin half-hidden and half-exposed due to the soaked dress, these are just one of Zhang Ji's ideas, or they are just one of the tempting uniforms prepared by Zhang Ji. .
However, Zhang Ji's involvement in Zilanxuan's business was not because he wanted to cooperate with Han Fei, but because Zhang Ji found that he had lost the "suppression of bandits" as a quick and high-yield method of making money. The things I once asked Luo Wang to help me buy are becoming more and more deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It is impossible to reduce the expenditure of Zhangji, so we can only open up the source.
"A Mr. Lu once said: Only a lustful person can understand what a lustful person really likes." Zhang Ji smiled and drank the peach blossom wine in the cup. He did not comment on Zi Nu's praise and said with a smile: " So, this is nothing. However, Miss Zinu compared me to Tao Zhu and his ilk, which I really dare not accept. After all, although Tao Zhugong was very wealthy, he had to stay away from the temple and live in seclusion. I still You are young, maybe you can find a wise king in the future, who can scold Fang Qiu."
When Zi Nu heard Zhang Ji's words, her expression changed.
It sounds like Zhang Ji already intends to get involved in the court, but I don't know which country's court he plans to get involved in and which wise king he is looking for.
Zhang Ji seemed to feel that he had made a mistake and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Miss Zi Nv had promised me to meet Miss Nongyu. Could it be that Zi Lan Xuan's business has been so prosperous recently that Miss Zi Nv has even Too busy to forget?"
Zi Nu's eyes wandered, and she indeed pretended to have forgotten this matter on purpose.
Nong Yu is not only the number one Qin girl in Zi Lan Xuan, but also a sister who was raised by Zi Nu herself.
Some time ago, Hong Yu died in Nong Yu's room.
According to Han Fei's analysis, Hong Yu, who slept in the same room as Nong Yu, accidentally blocked Nong Yu's knife. The killer's target should have been Nong Yu, who was originally maintaining the lyre at this time.
However, Nong Yu rested in Zi Nu's room that night because of Zuo Sima Liu Yi's fright, and asked Hong Yu to maintain her lyre for her. Therefore, the murderer mistakenly thought Hong Yu was Nong Yu and killed her.
Even though Han Fei was extremely talented, he was naturally clueless when faced with such a case that had no beginning and no end. He couldn't understand why someone would want to kill Nong Yu.
Therefore, Zinu could only protect Nongyu and prevent Nongyu from playing piano music again. He also placed an extra bed in his room so that Nongyu could sleep with him, thus personally protecting Nongyu's safety.
It was precisely because Nongyu faced unknown dangers that Zi Nu kept delaying Zhang Ji's meeting with Nongyu, trying to determine Zhang Ji's purpose of meeting Nongyu.
But no matter how Zi Nu asked, Zhang Ji always said that he just wanted to hear Nong Yu play a piece in person.
There was no other way, Zi Nu could only fulfill her promise, so she walked along the steps Zhang Ji gave her and answered: "Yes, Mr. Entrusted me with my talent. I have been busy with things recently, so I forgot about it."
"However, today I may be able to fulfill your wish, sir."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and the door was gently opened from the outside.
"Sister, I'm ready."

PS: I didn’t sleep all night... Well, I woke up with a headache again. The pain was so painful that I couldn’t sleep, so I just wrote in bed. It was just a headache, muscle soreness, and weakness in the limbs that caused the coding efficiency to be very low. It took more than four hours to code more than 3,000 words.
I hope everyone can take care of themselves as much as possible to avoid becoming a painful little Yang person like me...
