However, in front of Guanju Tower, a fat man and a muscular man in red clothes were looking around, all looking like ignorant young men.
The confusion was different. Shui Han was attracted by the bustling market in front of him and couldn't take his eyes away. Xiao Tian mainly couldn't figure out one thing, and that was why the invitation from the Yan Palace was chosen at Guanju Tower. In a place where fireworks are planted in the market, Mr. Zhong saw the uncle-looking Liu Yong at a glance among the crowd. He dared to conclude that this person must be a master.
In fact, Xiaotian's problem is not difficult to explain. Although on the outside, Guanju Tower is a place of market fireworks, respectful to the royal family, and incompatible with the state's important weapons, but it is located in the middle of the Suzaku Avenue that leads directly to the palace. It can be said to be the link between the palace and the palace. The hub of the market.
Heading north from Dongshi, you pass Guanju Tower, which is the main gate of King Yan's Palace. Therefore, Guanju Tower seems to be a fence built by the common people, but it is actually built by the royal family. They usually enjoy themselves with the people. It is not a showy place, but when it comes to receiving distinguished guests from outside, this Guanju Tower will naturally become a place for banquets.
It is precisely because of this royal background that Guanju Tower can always stand tall in Yandu, and no one even dares to make trouble.
At this moment, the three of them have entered the building.
In the center of Guanju Tower is a pond. There is a huge lotus in the center of the pond. The lotus is artificial, but it looks real. The whole building is built around the pond, which is simple and exquisite. The hook-railed stands are arranged It is scattered and not symmetrical, but it has a unique mood. Compared with Jiange, it is a little less noble and more elegant.
It is said that the master craftsman who was responsible for building the building had been thinking hard for several months to no avail, until he saw this natural pond and was suddenly inspired. Within three days, he drew the design.
Shui Han walked in the atrium, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, he couldn't help but be a little amazed.
Eunuch Sixi smiled and said:
"Master, do you know the purpose of building this lotus?"
Shui Han shook his head.
"In fact, although this lotus looks like a decoration, it is actually a stage, specially built for the oiran in Guanju Tower."
Shui Han scratched his head, expressing confusion.
If this lotus is a stage, it is a clever layout. But no matter how you look at it, if it is really a stage, it must be a blooming lotus. However, this lotus in the pond has no tendency to bloom. There is absolutely no space to stand on the flower bone. Could it be that the oiran wants to stand at the sharp corner of the flower flower and dance?
Behind Shui Han were a group of royal nobles who had just been greeted at the gate. They accompanied Shui Han to the Guanju Tower to watch the dance of Li Sisi, the oiran of Guanju Tower, with the prince's appointed son. Performance.
This is also an important item for Yan State to receive distinguished guests. It is said that all the distinguished guests will admire and marvel at this dance after watching it.
No matter what kind of hospitality you use, there is nothing wrong with giving people a good mood first.
And Li Sisi is undoubtedly such a good mood impression.
No one has doubted this since the oiran took charge of Guanju Tower.
While walking, he was suddenly bumped into by someone. When he looked closely, he saw a woman standing in front of him. The woman's face was covered with gauze, her body was bowed, and she was full of apologies. Shui Han felt a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head. He said with a silly smile:
"Sorry, I bumped into you, are you okay?"
As he spoke, he actually leaned down even lower than the woman in front of him.
Seeing this, Mr. Sixi hurriedly stepped forward to pull Shuihan up and said:
"Master, what are you doing? You're just a little maid, why does the Master need to apologize?"
Shui Han said inexplicably:
"If you hit someone, you should apologize."
In Shui Han's heart, this is an eternal truth. He is absolutely unable to understand the concept of superiority and inferiority contained in Mr. Si Xi's words.
The nobles in the palace behind him began to whisper again.
"He is indeed a country boy. Even if he flies up a branch and turns into a phoenix, he is still a pariah at heart."
"How can a master apologize to his maid? There is really no distinction between superiority and inferiority."
…
"Father, who was that woman just now?"
"Why, the young master is interested in him? The old slave will arrange for the young master tonight..."
After hearing this, Shui Han's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"No, no, father-in-law, please stop talking nonsense."
Shui Han was puzzled. The people from the capital were too hard-core to chat with.
"What does the young master mean?"
"Ah, it's nothing, I just feel that she is not happy."
Eunuch Sixi was speechless. In some aspects, this boy was exactly the same as that bastard Xiaoyi.
…
When the woman entered the boudoir in Guanju Tower, she was surrounded by several maids, who took off her veil and changed into the ordinary coarse cloth clothes worn by maids.
"Girl, why do you have to go down and test it yourself? You can just leave this kind of thing to us."
The woman's veil faded away, revealing a charming face like a water lotus. Thinking of the ignorant young man in red who hurriedly apologized, the corners of her mouth raised and she said:
"The new young master is quite interesting."
The veiled woman is the number one in Guanju Tower, Li Sisi.
Normally, she would stay in the inner boudoir, admired by thousands of people, and never show off her appearance. But when she changed her outfit and went to the atrium downstairs, no one recognized her, and no one would admire her. .
…
Courtyard.
Shui Han sat on an excellent seat facing the dance floor. Next to him sat Zhong Shao and Xiaotian. Near and opposite him sat the royal nobles, and they were all waiting for an alluring show. show.
Uncle Liu Yong is sitting in the exclusive luthier's compartment. He is holding the bamboo in front of him. This bamboo has been with him for many years. The paint on the surface of the bamboo has fallen off a little, but the strings are brand new and bright. The paint surface is the trace of time, and the brand-new strings are the owner's love and care.
Liu Yong loved his building very much and loved its original appearance, so even if the paint was mottled, he never considered repairing it.
A melodious flute sound came out, Liu Yong flicked his fingertips, and the piano players around him also started playing according to the rhythm.
Various musical instruments, such as flute, zhu, pipa, and bells, were played one after another, forming a gentle and charming movement in Guanju Tower.
That joy starts like water flowing on a small bridge, slowly flowing into a house.
There was a girl in the family, young and hair-haired. The little girl opened the window and took a peek, and saw a small boat sailing on the flowing water. On the bow of the small boat was a young man sitting.
The young master wears a bamboo hat on his head, holds the flute in front of him, and plays it to the sky. The beautiful scenery of Jiangnan is contained in the flute, and the mood of the budding love is clearly revealed.
As this very picturesque piece of music gradually unfolded, people saw that the lotus flower bones on the dance floor slowly opened, and countless firefly-like light spots scattered out and floated towards Guan Ju. Every corner of the building.
The lotus is blooming.
