While most people are struggling to survive, there are always some people who are still living a life of extravagance and extravagance.
The princes, celebrities, wealthy businessmen, etc. in Yanhua City are all going to "Linlexuan" tonight.
There are people coming and going on the road, horses and chariots, and many people coming and going.
Gao Xide did not blindly suppress and target the major gentry families and landlords.
While ensuring that these people do not cause trouble, they are still allowed to retain their original luxurious life.
Therefore, all major families also support Gohid.
In fact, the money they spent extravagantly ended up in Gohid's hands.
Because all high-consumption places in the city charge high taxes and fees, "Linlexuan", which has been newly opened for a few months, is no exception...
At this time, there was a young master walking with two servants on the lively streets draped in red and colorful colors.
However, this young master seemed to have some stage fright. He looked back at the two servants behind him from time to time, with a very reserved look on his face.
After walking for a while, the young master found an uninhabited alley next to him and walked into the alley with two servants.
"Miss, and...Xiao Ming, why do you have to let me pretend to be a young man!"
The voice of this "gongzi brother" was obviously that of a man, but his tone was exactly like that of a woman.
A servant in front of him heard this and smiled:
"I said, why call me Xiao Ming? Can't you just call me by my first name?"
The three of them were Ye Ming, Cai Wei and Lu Yi.
However, Ye Ming and Cai Wei were all disguised as servants, and the green clothes were dressed as princes.
"I...don't I know how to call you for convenience~~~"
Lu Yi was embarrassed and troubled.
I originally wanted to use a scornful or insulting name, but after thinking about how good this guy is to the lady, and to himself...it's actually not that bad.
It seems a bit too rude to call him a direct scornful name.
He was called by his name directly, but it seemed a little distant, so he came up with such a title.
Seeing Lu Yi's embarrassment, Caiwei, who turned into a servant, chuckled and said:
"Why don't you do the same as me and call him 'Ming'?"
"Ah...this..."
This was obviously a bit too close. Lu Yi wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into:
"Okay, okay."
When the words came out of his mouth, Lu Yi immediately regretted it. He felt that this guy had taken advantage of him, and he covered his face in embarrassment.
Someone was passing by outside and accidentally saw three men gathering in the alley. Some people were making feminine gestures. They immediately shook their heads and lamented that the world is declining and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be...
Ye Ming didn't care what he called him, he just said:
"I said, Mr. Qing, the performance at Linlexuan is about to begin. If we don't go, it will be too late."
Speaking of this, Luyi took Caiwei's hand with some discomfort and said:
"Miss, this guy is messing around, why are you following him? Is there any reason in the world for a maid to pretend to be a master?"
"It didn't happen before, but doesn't it happen now?"
Caiwei smiled and said,
"You and I are as close as sisters, why do we care about so many rotten rules?"
Ye Ming also urged:
"Young Master Qing, it's time for us to go in."
Seeing that these two people were determined to make themselves famous, Lu Yi had no choice but to walk in front with his head high and his chest high, towards Linlexuan.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw many young men from the city coming together.
These people are familiar with each other, talking and laughing.
When enthusiastic people saw such a handsome young man in green clothes, they came forward to greet him and asked about his origins.
Regarding this kind of problem, Lu Yi had already prepared a plan. He only said that he came from other places to do business and came to Linlexuan tonight to gain experience.
When the young masters heard this, they all said that they were here to gain knowledge.
Someone even kindly told Lu Yi that the girls in Linlexuan were all prostitutes, not their bodies, and asked him to pay attention to his manners. If he could make a girl feel at ease, he could get special care and so on.
This topic naturally made Lu Yi very disgusted, but he had to deal with it, looking a little embarrassed. He glanced at Ye Ming from time to time, hoping that this person could help him solve the problem.
However, Ye Ming completely assumed the role of a servant and stood behind her without saying a word.
This made the green man bite his silver teeth secretly, wanting to give him a kick.
As for letting Caiwei come forward, Lu Yi is absolutely not happy, so he should deal with it on his own!
Fortunately, after these young men talked to her for a few words, they thought she was not good at talking, so they didn't pay too much attention to her. They all went to Linlexuan to discuss the girl inside.
Seeing this, Lu Yi didn't want to enter such a place, but he still forced the two of them inside.
At this time, another young master came with his two men.
This person is the son of Master Zhao of Yanhua Prefecture, the eldest son of Zhao, who is also the elder brother of Zhao Yuwan.
During the turmoil in Yanhua Mansion a few years ago, the Zhao family was actually also affected by the disaster, and the eldest son Zhao suffered a lot.
It's just that the Zhao family has some foundation after all. After Yanhua Mansion stabilized, through Mr. Zhao's operation, the Zhao family's status was restored.
It stands to reason that after several major changes, Mr. Zhao should have made some progress.
But the fact is that this only made him go overboard even more.
Because during the period of downturn, he saw a lot of human kindness, and now he has a mentality of enjoying every day, and his behavior is even more dissolute than before.
Not only did he come tonight, but the attendant behind him also held a gift in his hand. At a glance, he knew that he was coming for a certain girl.
The eldest son Zhao didn't care about strangers like Lu Yi and others, and walked into Linlexuan with his head held high.
As a frequent visitor here, naturally no one dares to stop him.
It's just that perhaps the threshold of Linlexuan was too high. Mr. Zhao didn't put his foot down properly and tripped on the threshold, falling like a dog on the spot.
"Ouch~~~"
The eldest son of Zhao fell and screamed in agony, and the guards behind him immediately stepped forward to help him.
Unexpectedly, the two guards did not cross the threshold and fell down, hitting Mr. Zhao right on his body.
Immediately there was a scream.
The appearance of these three people immediately caused everyone around to burst into laughter.
Even Lu Yi almost laughed out loud, but then realized that it was a bit indecent and forced himself to hold it back.
Caiwei looked at Ye Ming with some annoyance.
The meaning is very obvious, why do you do such harm to others when you have nothing to do?
Ye Ming raised his eyebrows and returned her look.
Just tell me if it’s funny or not!
Luyi didn't notice the two people behind him "winking" and just walked around the three unlucky guys at the door and went inside.
They seemed to have status at first glance, so they naturally sat on the second floor.
I thought that this kind of place would be very messy and there would be many unsightly things.
But when I came in, I realized that there seemed to be a misunderstanding.
What people say about selling your art but not your body seems to be true.
Although the girls in the building would smile at visitors, they were not in a flattering manner, just out of etiquette.
Moreover, there are no aphrodisiacs or other things in the building to lure customers.
This makes people feel much more comfortable, otherwise it would always feel weird.
There was a dedicated maid who took people like them, who seemed to be of high status, upstairs, arranged their seats, and served them tea.
After this guidance, people feel very respected.
There were many people coming at this time, and by chance, Mr. Zhao was placed at the table next to them on their right.
However, after "responsing to the calamity" at the door, the three of them were a little shameless, and their postures were no longer as showy as before.
Young Master Zhao glanced sideways at Ye Ming and the other three, frowned immediately, and turned around with some disdain, not looking at them.
Ye Ming and Cai Wei, who were nothing but servants, sat on either side of them in green clothes.
In the opinion of the eldest son Zhao, this was quite rude, so he looked down on Lu Yi and thought that she was lax in her duties.
How could a servant have the right to sit with his master?
After a while, I suddenly heard some roaring outside. It seemed that some big shot was coming, and many people came out to welcome him.
The steward of Linlexuan personally led the guests to come in and sit down with a smile on his face.
You can hear the title "General Pang" being called out again and again.
After a while, a man with a beard and a man who did not look like a cultured person came in, surrounded by people.
This man's appearance is also different from that of other wealthy young men. He is wearing the uniform of a military commander. He walks with a dragon-like pace, and he is not someone to be trifled with at first glance.
As soon as this person came in, Lu Yi subconsciously curled his lips.
He thought he was some powerful person, but it turned out to be Pang Yuan who liked to visit widows at night.
Pang Yuan has become famous since his battle with Lu Qingxu, the best general in the world, and he is now a fierce general under Gao Xide.
In today's troubled times, generals like him are much more popular than those gentry and merchants. What's more, Pang Yuan is a direct descendant of Mr. Bai, so he is naturally more different from other generals.
The manager of Linlexuan personally led Pang Yuan to the best private seat on the second floor, where he could have the clearest view of the performance terrace on the third floor.
When Prince Zhao saw Pang Yuan sitting in the best viewing position that everyone envied, he muttered in amusement:
"Tsk, a rude and vulgar warrior sitting in such a good position is really a waste!"
Of course, he only dared to whisper like this.
He is now a regular army general in Yanhua Prefecture, and he is not someone he can mess with just a playboy.
Seeing that someone like Pang Yuan could sit here so confidently, Luyi felt psychologically calm and felt confident sitting down.
Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled and whispered in her ear:
"Are you still the ordinary maid you were before?"
"Of course not, I am outside, but I am an expert known as the 'Tsing Yi Female Daoist'!"
"Then do you think Pang Yuan is still the same fugitive from before?"
"Naturally not."
"Then why do you still look at him with the same eyes as before?"
"Uh~~~"
Lu Yi was stunned by these words. When he thought about it carefully, he realized that there was indeed something wrong with his mentality.
When facing acquaintances, I always like to treat them with the old understanding.
As everyone knows, people also have their own circumstances and are changing...
Well, it doesn't matter, anyway, no matter how Pang Yuan changes, he can't surpass her!
After that, no more important guests came.
When the time came, everyone suddenly heard a long bell ringing.
After this sound spread, the originally noisy Linlexuan immediately fell silent, and everyone stared at the performance terrace on the third floor.
Then I saw a famous woman holding a harp, harp, lute, Xiaogu, Xundi and other musical instruments appeared on the stage. Each of them held up the instruments in their hands and made beautiful gestures.
The performance was not all performed by women. Later on, four handsome and muscular men appeared holding heavy musical instruments. They were placed at the back of the terrace. They were just foils and did not steal the limelight from the other female musicians.
After everyone formed a natural formation, everyone began to play, and pleasant sounds came from different musical instruments, intertwining and responding to each other.
Just the beginning makes people feel certain, forgetting everything else for the time being and just enjoying the music.
Even Pang Yuan, a vulgar man, closed his eyes slightly and looked like he was enjoying himself.
Soon, the music became joyful, and everyone was inspired. Smiles appeared on their faces, and everyone thought of many happy things.
After a while, the music became fast and tense again, and everyone was on tenterhooks.
When it changed again, the music was already intense, and everyone was excited and excited.
After a while, the music became aggrieved and resentful, full of sadness, and the listeners shed tears.
Many people were saddened and hugged each other and cried.
For example, Mr. Zhao on the side hugged and cried with his two guards.
After another period of time, the music first turned soft and then cheerful. Everyone's eyebrows relaxed and they felt their mood became more comfortable again.
At this time, the music stopped suddenly, and a woman walked onto the terrace and made a gentle and elegant voice:
"The sound contains sorrow and music (the sound is 'Le' here), and the music reveals the true feelings.
The five tones and rhymes are meant to be listened to.
The master of Shangzi Pavilion of Wuyin Jiao, Shang Qingle, has met you all! "
