Outside Fan Lou, Bai Lekang, Bai Yingying and Xiaorou were walking on the street. Xiaorou stuck out her tongue and looked at Bai Lekang without daring to speak. Bai Yingying said to Bai Lekang with a harmless smile: "Brother, what are you doing? You knew we were here and you came here?"
Bai Lekang rolled his eyes at Bai Yingying, who had a flattering smile on her face, and said helplessly: "I returned to Deyi Building and saw that you two were not there. After asking the waiter, he found out that you were traveling westward, so he followed the long street to find you; "
"Then how did you know we were in Fan Lou? I remember not telling the waiter about this," Bai Yingying asked doubtfully;
Bai Lekang angrily flicked Bai Yingying's head with his finger and said, "You have the nerve to say that I haven't mentioned you two yet. Girls are not afraid of making people laugh when they come to such a romantic place."
Although Bai Lekang and Bai Yingying are Miao people in southern Xinjiang, they have learned Han etiquette from Mr. Liang and read Confucian classics since they were young. They naturally have some understanding of the defense of men and women in the Central Plains. When they come to the Central Plains, they can no longer use the customs of the Miao family. act; act;
Bai Lekang said again: Dad didn't even know that you followed me out secretly this time. You have been restless since you were a child, so I have to be on guard. Otherwise, if you do something wrong again, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you. "
After saying that, Bai Lekang took out the cyan porcelain bottle from his sleeve; Bai Yingying took a closer look, her face suddenly fell, and she said: "So, brother, you found us using the "Tracing Gu"."
"Tracing Gu" is one of the five poisonous Gu masters. This Gu can search for traces by following the smell. As long as the Gu bug smells the smell, it can find the person with the fixed smell within a hundred miles; it is the seeker. An artifact used by humans to find traces; unfortunately, the art of cultivating poison is extremely difficult. Except for the Five Poison Sect, no one in the world can possess this artifact;
"Hmph, you wrongly blamed the boy named Yang. He didn't tell me anything. There is a trace Gu. I can find it wherever you are." Bai Lekang said calmly;
Bai Yingying snorted when she heard this and said angrily: "Even if this is the case, he can't laugh at the disguise technique. How can a grown man be so fussy about it?"
Bai Lekang rolled his eyes and said: "Why don't you misunderstand people first and let people wait and see... Besides, your disguise skills are indeed not very good. You can even lose half of your beard;"
"Oh, brother, you are still not my real brother, why are you always looking at outsiders?" Bai Yingying pouted dissatisfied and followed her brother towards the distance;
Just as the two brothers and sisters were bickering, on the other end of the long street, an official sedan carried by four people came to the door of Fanlou and stopped. Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yunfan, Chen Zishan and Zhang Wu, the housekeeper of the Zhang family, had already been notified. , Qi Sanniang, the chief shopkeeper of Fanlou, and others were already waiting at the door to greet him;
The official sedan stopped, the two bearers in front opened the curtain, and a man walked out of the sedan with his head bowed;
This man is about fifty years old, dressed in a green robe, with a slender figure, a majestic face, a long beard and a beautiful beard with some gray hair. This man is Zhang Qixian, deputy envoy to the Privy Council and political counselor;
When Zhang Qixian saw everyone waiting for him at the door, he first smiled and nodded, and apologized to Yang Yanzhao and others for the long wait. Yang Yanzhao and others said they did not dare;
Zhang Qixian looked at Yang Yanzhao and saw that he was seven feet tall, with a majestic appearance, a bright gaze, and a heroic spirit in his eyes. Zhang Qixian couldn't help but praise: "What a general, he is worthy of being a descendant of Yang Ye";
Yang Yanzhao introduced the two people around him to Zhang Qixian. Yang Yunfan and Chen Zishan both briefly introduced themselves.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries again;
After chatting for a while, as the host of the banquet, Zhang Qixian said to several people: "Let's go in and talk. I'm afraid we will delay Sanniang's business here, hahaha."
Qi Sanniang, the head shopkeeper of Fanlou who was standing by, laughed angrily and said to Zhang Qixian: "What are you talking about, Mr. Xiang? It is my honor, Fanlou, for Mr. Xiang to come to Fanlou to entertain distinguished guests. Piper gives birth to brilliance;
"Master Xiang, please go to the private room on the second floor with the others. Tea, drinks and snacks are ready. Miss Xiyan will also play music for you in a while."
"Oh?, Haha, I haven't heard Miss Xiyan's piano music in a few months. The last time I heard Miss Xiyan's piano music was on the New Year's Eve, and the lingering sound lingered for several months, haha "Zhang Qixian said with a smile. Everyone also laughed and followed Zhang Qixian to the second floor;
There are four recognized courtesans in the seventy-two brothels and teahouses in Tokyo, namely Miss Xiyan and Miss Yiran from Fanlou; Miss Ningxi from Cangwuxuan; Miss Anyuan from Zuixianlou;
Although Cangwu Pavilion and Zuixian Pavilion are not as majestic and gathering of celebrities as Fan Pavilion, their strength should not be underestimated;
Compared with Fan Lou, what Cangwu Xuan and Zuixian Tower lack is the network of relationships and resource allocation rights of the royal relatives and relatives involved behind Fan Lou, but they can spend money to promote their own girls to become the top four courtesans in Tokyo. One, which also shows his financial strength and courage;
Among the four major courtesans in Tokyo, Fan Lou accounts for two, which further demonstrates Fan Lou’s status and strength;
Each of the four great courtesans has their own talents. Girl Ningxi is good at dancing, and her dance moves Bianjing; Girl An Yuan is good at singing, and her natural voice is the best in Tokyo; Girl Xiyan is good at playing the piano, and her every song can make her heart break;
Miss Yiran is good at dancing, but unlike Miss Ningxi, the dance that Miss Yiran dances is the Orchid Dance from the Western Regions. The Orchid Dance is passionate and unrestrained, and has a refreshing exotic style;
After everyone came to the private room on the second floor and took their seats according to the order of honor and guests, the maid who had been waiting for a long time ordered tea for everyone;
Zhang Qixian raised his tea cup and said to Yang Yanzhao and others: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. I am rude for being late. The food and wine are still being prepared. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
Everyone quickly stood up and raised their glasses in response, while Zhang Qixian waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.
After drinking a cup of tea, Yang Yanzhao spoke first: "Mr. Zhang is a popular person in the official family, and he has many things to do every day. It is really an honor for us to have half a day of leisure to come here to entertain us."
Zhang Qixian sighed when he heard this, and said solemnly: "It's not that I'm late on purpose to keep you waiting. It's because when I set out to come, the officials sent someone to summon me to the palace to discuss politics, so I came late."
Yang Yanzhao looked at Zhang Qixian's expression, frowned and asked: "Did something happen?" Then he realized that his question was rude and rude, and hurriedly said: "It was the last general who asked Meng Lang."
Zhang Qixian gave a wry smile and said: "It doesn't matter, you and others are all Zhongliang, so there is no need to hide this matter from you."
After drinking a cup of tea, Zhang Qixian said slowly: "Just the day before yesterday, the 300,000 stone grain and grass baggage shipped by the imperial court to Lingzhou was robbed by Xixia more than fifty miles west of Longmen Town in Fengxiang Prefecture. The entire grain transport team He was ambushed, and the officials had just received the news. They were furious when they heard it, so they summoned the Privy Council to discuss countermeasures;
Yang Yunfan and others were all shocked when they heard what they heard and looked at each other. Yang Yanzhao was the first to calm down, frowned and thought for a while and said: "Longmen Town is our land of the Song Dynasty. The party members are so brave that they dare to invade the territory and attack us secretly." ,"
Zhang Qi When we arrived in the desert, Li Jiqian turned around and gave us a blow."
