PS: Chapter forty-eight was blocked today for unknown reasons. There are only some sensitive words. I didn’t drive, so I couldn’t change it. It took me a long time to correct it. Now I will re-release a chapter. Thank you for your support!
Piaoxiang Tower is indeed the famous fireworks place in Pingkangfang. When coming out of the bathroom, many people were already entering.
On the pavilions on both sides, some young women were neatly leaning on the pavilions, smiling and ogling frequently at the guests who came in.
"Hey, Mr. Fang, have you washed up? Please come with me. I haven't seen you for a few days. We have prepared a nice seat. It's just the right time for you to come. Today, Miss Shishi will come out to perform a dance. You have reserved the best seat." The person greeting me at this time turned into a woman in her thirties, who must also be an old bustard.
As soon as he saw them, he walked over with a coquettish voice and twisted his slender waist.
Fang Yiai and the others were filled with excitement when they heard what the Madam said. They grabbed the Madam's hand and confirmed, "What you said is true. Miss Shishi is really good at dancing today..."
Seeing the enthusiastic eyes of several people, Yang Fan did not ask who Miss Shishi was, but just glanced outside.
It was getting late at this time, and lanterns were lit in Piaoxiang Tower. The uncertain candlelight made the atmosphere in the building full of ambiguity.
The sweet voices of orioles and swallows in the corridor were very lively accompanied by the man's hearty laughter.
Without waiting for Fang Yiai's answer, the madam continued: "This young master is a bit unfamiliar. I will find the most beautiful girl to accompany him later..." After saying that, he let go of Fang Yiai's hand and prepared to reach out to hold Yang Fan.
He calmly took a step back and avoided her hand. To be honest, Yang Fan was not averse to physical contact with the madam or the official prostitute.
It's just that the madam's makeup was a little too scary, like a wall painted with white porcelain powder in later generations.
The muscles squirmed as he spoke, which looked a bit weird under the reflection of the candlelight, which he really couldn't accept.
Fang Yiai took out a bunch of copper coins from his sleeves and said, "This is my brother. It's his first time here. Please treat him well. Just find the most beautiful girl to come..."
Seeing such a bunch of copper coins, the old bustard smiled even more happily, his eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he hurriedly turned around and led a few people to the second floor.
The layout of the second floor is different from the one below. There are booths one by one, and they are separated by screens. They cannot be seen from each other. This ensures the privacy of the guests to a certain extent. This is also the elegant seat of Piaoxiang Building.
Maybe Fang Yiai and the others had booked earlier, and the location was very good. Their seats could clearly see the scene on the first floor.
As soon as he sat down in the room, Yiai waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and call some beautiful girls to take care of you."
"Okay, gentlemen, wait a minute..." I don't know whether it was because of his love for his job or because of money, but the madam left quickly.
At this time, Fang Yiai pulled a thin purple curtain next to the attic and hung down. In this way, it was impossible to see who they were from the opposite side or upstairs.
You can tell from his skillful movements that this guy should come here often, and Yang Fan unconsciously looked over his head...
Soon, Du He became the guide and kept explaining: "The busiest part of Piaoxiang Building is the second floor. Although the third floor is quieter than the second floor, it is not suitable for watching singing and dancing. Only some older people will go there. After a while, the singer will perform a dance, and a round platform will rise, which is about the same level as our second floor. We can see it most clearly from our position. Today, there is a girl Shi Shi dancing, so lucky. As for the backyard, that is If you want to stay at the place where Red Card lives, you will usually go there, but if you don’t have the strength, you won’t be able to go there.” After finishing speaking, he winked at Yang Fan.
Hearing Du He mention this girl Shishi again, Yang Fan couldn't help but be surprised, so he asked: "Is girl Shishi also a red card here?"
Fang Yiai and the others' eyes widened in an instant, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, looking at him like a country bumpkin.
This made Yang Fan look confused. Did he say something wrong? Is this Shishi girl famous?
Fang Yiai was buzzing and seemed a little unhappy: "How could Miss Shishi be a red card? She is the signature of Taichang Temple Jiaofang. She does not belong to the girl of Piaoxiang Tower at all. Besides, she is a performer but not a prostitute. He only comes out occasionally to cheer up. Rumor has it that if you want to spend the night in her room, you must have both talents and be personally recognized by her..."
Before Yang Fan could speak, Cheng Chumo said excitedly: "Brother Yishan, how can you say that? Miss Shishi is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, painting, music, singing and dancing. She is a famous beauty in Chang'an City, famous for her talent and appearance. "
Kong Yingda, a great scholar, once used the metaphor of "the beauty of the country, the beauty of the city, the talent that astonishes the heavens" to describe the poetic girl. Do you think such a talented and beautiful woman will be a red card?
Moreover, all young talents in the world do not want to be the guests of Miss Shishi.
After Cheng Chumo finished speaking, they all had longing expressions on their faces. Yang Fan thought to himself that this was exactly how the star-chasers of later generations behaved, the kind that were die-hard loyal.
The signboard of Taichang Temple Jiaofang is not a place that sells meat. There is no fuss. This is simply playing hard to get, and then arousing people's curiosity to raise the price, and finally waiting for the price to sell.
However, this Shishi girl was actually so famous, which made him a little interested in this star of the Tang Dynasty.
Just when I was about to gossip and ask the great scholar Kong Yingda why he knew how to visit the brothel, the old bustard came over with a few Yingying Yanyan.
…
Huo Guogong's mansion in Pingkangfang, Chang'an City, was full of chaos.
Chai Zhewei's big horse Jin Dao sat upright in the middle hall, looking at his younger brother being helped in by the servants, making Chai Zhewei's forehead veins pop out.
His younger brother was too trouble-making. Although his eldest brother was like his father, he couldn't control Chai Lingwu at all.
He rubbed his twitching temples and asked in a deep voice: "Who did you idiot fight with again?"
Chai Lingwu glanced at his elder brother and didn't bother to pay attention. He gently pushed away the servant who was supporting him and sat down on the couch.
Picking up the tea cup on the desk, he drank a few sips. Maybe he drank too quickly and stretched the swelling, which made him take a breath of cold air. Finally, he twitched the corner of his mouth and replied: "Isn't it just with Uncle Zhongyi of Wannian County?" Did we have a fight? What’s the big deal..."
"What? You actually had a conflict with County Uncle Wannian?" When Chai Zhewei heard this, he immediately became anxious. He stood up and shouted loudly.
Seeing Chai Zhewei who was a little anxious, Chai Lingwu had no choice but to tell the whole story of the incident.
It was okay if he didn't say it, but when he said it, Chai Zhewei became even more anxious. He put his hands behind his back and walked around anxiously. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
In fact, it's not surprising that he was like this. Yang Fan could be said to be a man of the hour in Chang'an during this period. He contributed methods to prevent smallpox, slapped the Duke of the country for being tough on the prince, and even disabled Fusang's deputy envoy to the Tang Dynasty, one after another. Everything is related to Yang Fan.
What makes Chai Zhewei even more frightened is that all the attempts to impeach Yang Fan at the court were suppressed by His Majesty. Now that his younger brother is provoking him, isn't he asking for trouble?
Looking at Chai Lingwu, whose face was swollen beyond human shape, even though he couldn't bear it, Chai Zhewei still shouted with some hatred: "I usually ask you to control your foul mouth, don't cause trouble, and let you lose your memory. This time I'll touch you. He’s so tough, why bother with him when you have nothing to do?”
Then he sighed and said: "Tomorrow you will go to the Yang Mansion in person to apologize to Wannian County Uncle..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a young woman slowly coming from the back hall. Chai Lingwu, who was still lazy at first, stood up and saluted the young woman and said, "Lingwu has met my sister-in-law..."
Maybe it was because his face was so swollen that he couldn't speak clearly, and then he groaned twice. I don't know if he was complaining or because of pain.
Looking at Chai Lingwu who was beaten like a pig's head, the young woman couldn't help but be stunned, maybe because she wanted to recognize who the person in front of her was.
However, combined with the somewhat vague words just now, the young woman reacted immediately and scolded: "Who dares to hurt Ling Wu so seriously? Does this mean he doesn't want to live? After all, we are also relatives of the emperor."
Then he turned to Chai Zhewei and asked: "I just vaguely heard Lang Jun saying that he wanted to apologize. Do you want Ling Wu to apologize?"
Chai Zhewei couldn't help but sigh slightly when he looked at his wife Wang, who was loud and arrogant without asking any questions.
Every time Chai Lingwu makes a mistake, his wife Wang always thinks that her parents are not around. As the eldest brother and sister-in-law, they should take care of Chai Lingwu like parents. It is precisely because of Wang's protection that Chai Lingwu is used to bad habits like these.
"Madam, don't ask. It's not like you don't know. Ling Wu is the one who starts the trouble every time..."
Before Chai Zhewei finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang. He only heard Wang snort coldly and said: "What? Ling Wu was beaten like this, and you still swallow your anger? Does the other party have a big background? Even your dignified prince I don’t even dare to stand up for him. If you don’t live up to your expectations, I will go to His Majesty myself to see if he can seek justice for his nephew.”
Wang's words made Chai Zhe tremble with power. He pointed at Wang and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Wang turned her head and said to Chai Lingwu: "Lingwu, tell me who hurt you. My sister-in-law will go with you to seek justice."
"It's Uncle Zhongyi of Wannian County, but I think..."
Before Chai Lingwu could finish speaking, Wang Shi smiled coldly and immediately retorted to Chai Zhewei: "I thought it was just a little county official. Huo Guogong, you have really disgraced my mother, Princess Pingyang."
Chai Zhe smiled angrily and refused to give in to the Wang family: "Madam is so capable, why not let the Wang family help punish this Wannian county uncle..."
Hearing Chai Zhewei's sinister tone, Wang, as a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, was certainly not too stupid. Her irritable mood gradually calmed down, and she asked cautiously: "Is there something wrong with this Wannian county uncle..."
When Chai Zhewei expressed his understanding and analysis, Wang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. It turned out to be this stick. She had heard of it before, but she didn't pay attention to it.
If we want to trouble such people now, wouldn't that make us feel uncomfortable?
You must know that Yang Fan has the support of His Majesty behind him. Thinking about his reckless behavior just now, he blushed, so he glanced at Chai Lingwu in embarrassment and said nothing more.
For a while, the hall became quiet.
Looking at the quarreling elder brother and sister-in-law, Chai Lingwu always wanted to speak, but he couldn't find the words because his cheeks were swollen.
At this time, he could finally interject. Chai Lingwu said: "Tomorrow I will definitely go to Wannian County Uncle..." In the middle of his sentence, Chai Zhewei and Wang stopped him in unison, and just listened...
Mrs. Wang smiled awkwardly: "Ling Wu, my sister-in-law was impulsive just now. We have to think about it in the long run..."
Chai Zhewei also echoed: "Yes, Lingwu, your sister-in-law said yes, don't worry, at most I will ask my uncle..."
Chai Lingwu smiled bitterly: "Tomorrow I will go to Uncle Zhongyi to learn martial arts from my master. I am not looking for trouble..."
After enduring the swelling and pain, he finally spoke a complete sentence, which also made Chai Lingwu breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Chai Zhewei and Wang looked at each other and looked at each other. It turned out that they were being sentimental, but they really wanted to beat the pig head in front of them.
Why didn't you tell me earlier? This caused the couple to quarrel for a long time.
Seeing the look in his brother's and sister-in-law's eyes, Chai Lingwu felt as aggrieved as a little white rabbit.
