Perhaps it is because Kunlun's geographical location is too remote and the trade is not developed. No matter whether it is on or under the mountain, there has never been a flower house in the textbook. Lin Rufei encountered such an invitation for the first time, and although he felt a little inappropriate, he was still curious about it.
Seeing Lin Rufei's hesitation, Meng Langruo lowered his voice and explained: "Lin Gongzi rest assured that the Luochun Tower is very clean, and the girls inside are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not the kind of flesh Coy place for business.
"What's more, let's just take a look and don't do bad things." Meng Langruo stared at Lin Rufei in anticipation, hoping that he would be invited by himself. "It's a long night. It would be boring to stay at home."
Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly, or made an invitation to Meng Langruo.
Meng Langruo cheered when she saw this, and laughed, "Lin, Lin, I'll pick you up later, let's ride in the carriage together!"
Lin Rufei said well.
Then Meng Lanruo walked away happily.
As soon as he walked, Gu Xuan, who was standing beside Lin Rufei, had not spoken. He opened his mouth quietly. Somehow, there was a bit of resentment in his voice. He said, "Why is Xiao Chi interested in Hualou? The place is boring. "
Lin Rufei seized the point: "Seniors often go?"
Gu Xuandu calmly said, "I have been there once or twice. It's not interesting."
Lin Rufei said: "It's just that I've never seen it before, so I'm curious."
Gu Xuandu gritted his teeth and said, "It's all some vulgar powder and nothing to look at."
Listening to Gu Xuandu's words, Lin Rufei couldn't help but smile, jokingly: "Compared to the appearance of the predecessors, other people are indeed some vulgar powder."
Gu Xuandu, who was praised for his appearance, changed his look, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing, snorted coldly, swept his long sleeves, and his body faded away. Lin Rufei was dumb, he felt that something he said had offended Gu Xuandu, but which one ...
At night, the city of Xinzhou is very lively.
On the Canglan River, several huge gorgeous flower boats sailed on it, standing by the shore, they heard the joy of silk and bamboo, and smelled the fragrance of fat powder. Countless women in gorgeous dresses, either standing or sitting, smiled and laughed, which is really an enchanting beauty.
Lin Rufei was on the largest flower boat.
Meng Langruo is already a regular customer here. The old mother who still has the charm meets him, her smiling eyes are narrowed into a line, enthusiastically welcomes him in with a twist of her waist, and looks at Meng Langruo with her light. Standing sideways, the handsome young man in white clothes described the thinness. He probably saw something, and his smile became more eager: "Yo-this boy is really handsome and handsome, how have I never seen it before."
"It's a noble guest from our family. I took him out to play." Meng Langruo smiled. "When is Xiao Yu playing today?"
"The third comes out, and I hope Meng Meng will be more supportive at that time." The old mother smiled, and led them into a large private room with screens around the private room. The privacy is very good, and it is the clearest. See the stage.
If Meng Lan took something out of her arms, she handed it to her old mother and said, "Chang some silk flowers, and the rest will be a reward for you."
The old mother quickly nodded and said, holding hands with what Meng Langruo gave respectfully.
Lin Rufei noticed that Meng Langruo handed out a top-level spirit stone, even if it was in Xiantu, it was a rare commodity, let alone in the world. It seems that the Meng family really has a great career. Such a thing, in the hands of Meng Langruo, is just a little thing to reward Hua Kui.
"This silk flower is the vote for the queens on the stage." Meng Langruo smiled and explained, "The more silk flowers the higher the number of votes, the girl who gets the most is the queen tonight."
Lin Rufei said: "How often do you come to play?"
Meng Langruo scratched his head: "The strictness of my family's control of my family does not allow me to leave Xinzhou City, so I often come to find some fun by myself ... also ... not a regular customer?"
Obviously, when he talked about the back, he even had a bit of a confession. Lin Rufei just laughed and didn't care much about him. The guests on this flower boat will indeed have fun. Before the flower quiz contest has begun, you can see pot throwers, dice players, and various ways to make fun.
Meng Lanruo ordered two pots of good wine and some side dishes, and originally wanted to call another pot of hot tea for Lin Rufei, but Lin Rufei declined his offer. He said that drinking tea here is always a bit disappointing. Although he ca n’t Drink too much, but drinking two drinks is not a problem.
This is naturally better. Meng Langruo toasted Lin Rufei first round.
The wine is a newly brewed plum wine with a slightly sweet mouth and a long aftertaste. The newly picked peach petals float on it, which is more elegant.
Lin Rufei drank a cup, but thought of a peach blossom fairy who was still sulking, and could not help but smile.
When Meng Lang saw Lin Rufei's smile, he asked, "Who is this, Lin Gongzi thinking of?"
Lin Rufei said: "How?"
"No, it seems that I haven't seen such a smile on your face." Meng Lanruo looked at Lin Rufei with his chin on his back. "How do you say ..." It's as if Lin Rufei's laughter is gentle and gentle, but he brings With an indistinct taste of alienation, but the smile in front of him was mixed with a bit of playfulness, it was a little more popular.
Lin Rufei shook her head and smiled silently.
Meng Langruo did not delve into it, holding the wine glass and asking curiously how long Lin Rufei has come out of Kunlun, what happened on the way, and where he plans to go next.
Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment. In the end, he did not mention Xie's family, but just talked about a few dragons on the Canglan River, and said that he might go down the Canglan River all the way down, over the West Qiushan, and go to the Central Plains.
If Meng Lan listened to it, he would show his envy without concealing it, and touched his sword hanging on his waist, and murmured, "I really admire Prince Lin ..."
Lin Rufei said: "Envy me for what?"
Meng Langruo said: "I also want to fight like a sword and go thousands of miles, like Lin Gongzi," he said listlessly. "But my father and mother didn't allow me to go out, saying that I was afraid of my temper, and I was deceived for three days after going out. Underpants. "
To a certain extent, Lin Rufei and Meng Lanruo's situation is very similar. He also longed to leave Kunlun Mountain for a long time, and went to the lower reaches of the mountain like his brother and sister, but he did not know which day, Lin Ru Fei suddenly realized that a weak coward would never have such an opportunity.
He can haunt his brothers and sisters, and according to their pampering of their own nature, he will respond to this unreasonable request, but he ca n’t even raise the sword, even if he has entered the rivers and lakes, it is only a trouble for them. Nothing more. Lin Rufei has always been transparent. After thinking about certain things, he completely put down his obsession to leave Kunlun.
Fortunately, he has his own chance.
"Maybe you are too young now, and your father and mother will agree in a few years." Lin Rufei comforted Meng Langruo.
However, Meng Langruo shook his head, and said discouraged that no one knew his mother better than him. As long as his mother was a day alive, he would not be able to leave the city for half a step.
Lin Rufei heard no response, but felt that Meng Lang might be exaggerated. Seeing how their family likes him, if he is really determined to go to the rivers and lakes, the family may not try to forcefully block it.
At least for now, Lin Rufei thinks so.
On the stage, the sound of plucking the strings sounded, and a few dancers came and began to dance with the music.
Meng Lanruo swept away the decadence just now, and came to the spirit, staring at the girl who stepped out slowly on the stage, and introduced her favorite Xiao Yu with Lin Rufei enthusiastically.
"Xiao Yu is the most distinctive girl I have ever seen. Not only looks good, but she is proficient in piano, calligraphy, painting, and even dancing swords." Meng Langruo said, "Although her sword skills are better than Sword repair, but it is much better than most mortals ... If Qi is tired of winning swords with her without sword gas, who is not necessarily the winner? "
Lin Rufei had some interest: "Really?"
"Naturally." Meng Langruo said seriously.
The expensive silk flowers were thrown to the stage one after another with applause, and the atmosphere on the flower boat gradually became warm. The girls tonight performed well, and the silk flowers of the same price as gold were almost never broken, drunk The night's favors want to send their beloved girl to Hua Kui's position.
Meng Langruo handed the silk flowers on the table to Lin Rufei, and summoned the old mother to take out the spirit stones and exchange a few baskets.
Lin Rufei is not sensitive to money. The food and clothing at home are all handled by the maids. He doesn't have to worry about it. If he didn't often go down the mountain to steal some snacks, I'm afraid I have never seen money.
"Come, come, Xiao Yu is here." Meng Langru stared, excited.
On the stage, a gentle woman came up slowly, wearing a long skirt and holding a pair of red swords. She was half-squatting to the guests under the stage, and she was regarded as a salute. After a smile, the music sounded.
At the moment of the sword's rise, the temperament of the woman changed instantly. The sword was like a white rainbow and red blood was like blood. The woman's bare feet stomped on the drum and moved around on the stage, as if in shock. Jian Guang was cold, but she was dressed in pink and extremely soft. This rigid and soft contrast made this sword dance even more fascinating.
The woman twisted her waist and threw the red pimple at the end of the sword. The drums gradually stopped, and her dance slowed down. She finally stopped on the stage, slightly undulating her chest, and cast a soft smile toward the position of Meng Lanruo's box.
The guests applauded loudly and rewarded them. The silk flowers were thrown on the stage as if they were not money. If Meng Lan walked out of the box, he spilled the two baskets of silk flowers in his arms.
One after another, silk flowers fell on Xiao Yu's head and shoulders like snow. She saw Meng Langruo, looked back and smiled, and slowly saluted before she stepped down.
"Pretty? Pretty ?!" Meng Lang, if he saw Xiao Yu go, returned to the private room, jumped up and down excitedly, like a sullen man who first came to Luochun Tower, "I have never seen such a beautiful Sword dance! "
Lin Rufei laughed and said, "It's good." It's really beautiful, and it has a taste of moving swords in all directions.
"It's just a pity ..." Meng Langruo was suddenly intrigued, "I want to redeem her, but she refuses."
Lin Rufei didn't know much about these, but just listened.
Meng Langruo said, "If she doesn't like me, it's fine, but I think she likes me." After he said this, he sighed and drank the drink in the glass.
The two were talking, and the master of the discussion came in from outside, holding a plate of freshly cut fruit in his hand, and looked at the two in the private room with a smile, softly screaming: " Lan Ruo ... "
Meng Lang Ruoton stayed in shape, looked back immediately, and eagerly said, "Little Yu!"
"Don't call me why you're here." Xiao Yujiao, "when I was sword-dancing, I looked at you all over the field."
Meng Langruo said, "I'm not trying to surprise you."
The two loved each other, and Lin Rufei, who was sitting on one side, became an unnecessary one. Fortunately, Meng Langruo quickly responded and said, "Xiao Yu, this is my new friend Lin Gongzi. It ’s very good. In your flower house, there are some gentle and beautiful girls who will soon call for Lin.
"Okay." Xiao Yu laughed. "Lin Gongzi is so handsome, it's really cheap for those little Nizis!"
Lin Rufei did not quit. Since he has come here, although he has no other plans, he can never let Meng Langruo worry about himself as a friend.
Xiao Yu's girl came soon, described as soft and beautiful, called Wanyi, and she is said to have excellent piano skills.
The beauty of a gentleman, Lin Rufei has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run away. When Meng Langruo and the little Yu Yu adjusted oil in honey, Meng Lang Ruo was filled with some wine by the little Yu Yu. Holding in to another room, there was only Wan Yi and Lin Rufei left in the room, playing their pianos.
Wan Yi seemed a bit shy, and she didn't talk much until Xiao Yu and Meng Lan went away, and then they chatted with Lin Rufei intermittently.
Lin Rufei drank plum wine while talking to Wan Yi.
After Wan Yi talked about a song, when Lin Rufei didn't want to stand up, she got up and lit the incense placed on the side of the piano. The aroma was clear, but Lin Rufei felt a little familiar and asked "this What is it? "
"It is the incense made of unicorn grass, which has a soothing effect." Wanyi said judiciously, "If the son doesn't like it, Wanyi will go out."
"No need, just point it." Lin Rufei didn't hate the smell of unicorn grass, and slid his fingers across the edge of the cup. "How long have you been here?"
Wan Yi replied: "It's been almost three years.
Lin Rufei said, "Where is Xiao Yu?"
Wan Yi hesitated for a moment before answering Lin Rufei's question. She said: "Sister Xiao Yu has come a little later, but it has been a year. Sister Xiao Yu is very good. Once here, it is Hua Kui ..."
Lin Rufei said, "Oh."
Wan Yi smiled: "Do you have any songs you want to hear?"
Lin Rufei shook his head and signaled that he was a little tired, but seeing that Meng Lan had no intention of leaving, he was not good enough to leave first, and he waved at Wanyi, saying: "You go out first, I want to take a break myself. "
Wan Yi heard the words a little surprised, biting her lower lip and said, "But if you go out like this, you will be scolded by your mother ..."
Lin Rufei frowned slightly, took a spirit stone out of his cuff and handed her: "Go."
Wan Yi stopped talking, and finally said nothing, took the Lingshi and gave a gift to Lin Rufei, and retreated.
There was only Lin Rufei in the house.
Lin Rufei was a bit boring. He looked around, but still did not see Gu Xuandu. He sighed in his heart, and was a little funny, thinking that his predecessors were really careful.
The furnishings in the room are very particular, using a lot of fabrics such as veil, and the light is very dim, an atmosphere that is easy to make people emotional. The white incense burned from the censer on the table brought out the strange aroma unique to the unicorn grass. On the side of the censer, there was a plate of exquisite snacks, all kinds of shapes, beautifully made.
Lin Rufei happened to be hungry, so she twisted a piece and sent it to her mouth. It's the taste of mung bean cake. It's a bit too sweet. He doesn't like it very much, but the taste is not bad, so he eats it slowly.
With half a pot of plum wine left, Lin Rufei had nothing to do, so he drank the crispy beans and drank his belly.
The drunkenness surged, and Lin Rufei's pale cheeks rose with a touch of red, and those eyes, which were lighter than ordinary people, were not as clear as usual, with a slight sigh. It was about drinking a lot, and itchy chest appeared again. Lin Rufei covered his mouth and coughed a few times. He pressed the cough with tea, got up and walked to the window, watching the scenery outside.
The windows inside the house were facing the river. The lights were dim, like a galaxy. The tide of the river was slamming on the side of the ship, and the sound of the tide was endless.
Lin Rufei felt a bit uncomfortable. Something was burning inside his body. He went all the way down the viscera and burned to his skin.
"Cough, cough, cough ..." Suddenly the heat wave came, Lin Rufei coughed heavily, and his consciousness began to blur. He felt his body began to be out of control. He was so soft and fell on the bed, in front of his eyes. There seemed to be a red shadow, but with the distant consciousness, Lin Rufei knew nothing.
Gu Xuandu looked at Lin Rufei lying on the bed expressionlessly. He was lying on a soft bed, his face was not as pale as before, but turned into a piece of pink. When you look down, you will find that the pink is not only his cheek, but also his neck. Although I can't see the situation under the neck, I also want to know how the rigorous body wrapped in clothes looks like.
Sometimes being protected too well is not a good thing, because unknowingly, we do something we shouldn't do.
Inside this flower building, naturally there are also particular about it.
Wine can be drunk, and snacks can be eaten, but if the two are combined, they have some unspeakable effects. For ordinary people, this effect may only be a little help, but Lin Rufei's body is weak, just a little bit, which makes him look like this.
Gu Xuandu looked at Lin Rufei's eyes slightly, his throat knot moved up and down invisibly, as if restraining something.
At night, Jiang Xuandu raised his hand and closed the window, shutting out the lingering lights outside the window.
The next moment, Gu Xuan extinguished the candlelight inside the house, and everything went dark.
There was silence in the room, but Lin Rufei's breathing sounded slightly.
Lin Rufei woke up only after dawn. When he woke up, he was covered with a thick blanket. He sat up blankly from the bed and saw Gu Xuandu sitting at the table.
Gu Xuan all heard him awake and didn't turn back.
"Senior," Lin Rufei called.
Gu Xuandu said: "Awake?"
Lin Rufei said, "Well ..." He rubbed his aching head, and whispered, "Why did you fall asleep yesterday?"
"There is something in the snacks and wine in Hualou. After you eat, the reaction is a bit big." Gu Xuandu said, "I just passed out."
Lin Rufei gave a little embarrassment and looked at Gu Xuandu: "Senior ... I stayed by the bed all night?"
Gu Xuan did not speak.
But sometimes silence is the answer. Lin Rufei felt a little guilty when he wanted to apologize, but saw Gu Xuandu raise his hand to make a stop gesture, then suddenly got up, walked in front of him, bent down, almost about to be with him The nose touched, and the face was cold like ice: "I am not allowed to come to this kind of place again in the future. If I want to watch the sword dance, I dance, if I want to listen to the music, I play, in short, don't have the next time."
Lin Rufei stayed.
Gu Xuandu urged it a little impatiently: "Have you heard?"
"Yes," Lin Rufei said obediently.
I don't know if Gu Xuandu's tone is too dangerous, Lin Rufei didn't have any idea of refutation.
"Very good." Gu Xuandu nodded, and then straightened up, indifferently, "After all, next time, I can't guarantee what will happen." In the end, I didn't want to, the cheeks were crimson, the breath was fast, there was no defense. Gu Xuan didn't want to see it for the second time, not because he was worried that he would be hurt, but because the person who hurt him was himself.
Gu Xuan has endured once, but cannot guarantee that he can endure the second time.
However, Lin Rufei misunderstood Gu Xuandu's meaning. After all, he was inexplicably in the Hualou, and he was a bit embarrassed. Moreover, seniors like Gu Xuandu should be very disdainful of such behavior.
Lin Rufei sighed slightly, and after a brief wash, she found Meng Langruo.
Xiao Yu was not seen in Meng Langruo's house. When she saw Lin Rufei, she smiled and asked how he had a rest last night?
Lin Rufei shook her head and said that she still didn't like these places. Meng Langruo didn't mind, but said, "Also, I don't seem to be used to it. Next time, let's go to some elegant places. Let's go. Go home. "
Lin Rufei said yes.
Just when he left, he also smelled the scent of unicorn grass in this room. It was strange at first, and asked if Meng Lan was particularly popular in Xinzhou
"Yeah." Meng Langruo said, "It's very popular. It's everywhere. My mother likes it, and I planted a lot at home." He yawned, "I'm so tired ..."
Lin Rufei said, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Meng Langruo scratched his head: "It's not bad."
Lin Rufei said: "Where is Xiao Yu?"
Meng Langruo said, "Xiao Yu? She left early ... what happened?"
Lin Rufei said: "She didn't spend the night in your room?"
Meng Lanruo understood Lin Rufei's meaning here, and he was embarrassed and said, "Oh, I haven't touched her yet, she's still very clear ... after all, she is a girl, so at least you have to marry someone back to do such a thing. "
Lin Rufei laughed and said, "Yes." He looked at the lingering look of the two men, thinking that they had already come into existence, but he did not expect that Meng Langruo was so concerned about Xiao Yu.
Only if you care about a person, you will still worry about two or three when the love is strong, Lin Rufei lamented. However, he did not notice that Gu Xuandu beside him looked at him with a complicated look.
The author has something to say: After Lin Rufei woke up, Gu Xuan all told him 327.
Lin Rufei: Ah?
Gu Xuandu: I have counted the number of eyelashes more than 300 times.
Lin Rufei: Are you really free ...
Gu Xuandu: I'm not busy. You are afraid that you will cry your nose the next day.
