Seven, it's okay
At dusk at the end of Shen, the setting sun and willows and the floats arrived at Yuehufang. Like in previous years, a group of scholars and scholars joined hands in the middle of the road and said in unison: "The poet's master, we are still going to ask for advice."
Three large floats stopped and the drums gradually stopped. Only the phoenix and the fish sheng were blowing in Wanwan.
A leading scholar in blue shirt bowed to Zhou Xuan and the other two: "I wonder who will spend the spring night with the courtesan this year?"
Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "Wow, you're straight to the point, you're asking well, look at Xiahou Liusu."
Hu Yang on the side shouted impatiently: "Of course it's my Mr. Hu Yang."
A scholar hid behind others' backs and said coldly: "You are the third in the poetry club, so you are afraid you are not qualified, so you go home and take your concubine."
The crowd laughed. It seemed that Hu Yang was not well-known among the scholars in Xuanzhou.
Hu Yang was so angry that he shouted: "The poet's master is a woman, needless to say, Zhou Xuanzhi is a vulgar salt merchant this time, can he go to Mingyu Tower?"
"Shut up!" Zhou Xuan shouted loudly, full of energy: "What's wrong with the businessmen? They also rely on their own abilities to make a living. They make small profits but quick turnover, and they are free of charge. They are mutually beneficial to the people. They are hundreds of times stronger than you, a playboy who relies on the power of their parents, lacks diligence and does not distinguish between grains. In terms of talent, the poets and poets here are better than you, and where is your turn to be noisy here?"
Xuanzhou has abundant resources and is famous all over the world. The other three hemps of Jingde, papaya, pear, Zhuge pen, red line carpet, and various famous teas. Xuanzhou is the second largest tea distribution center in the Tang Dynasty after Shezhou. Every year, between March and April, it is the time when tea merchants gather. In addition to scholars, most of the people follow the floats. At this time, Zhou Xuan was cheering in unison.
Someone shouted: "Abu, Hu Shang Abu, donated 50,000 taels of military funds, and the emperor personally awarded the seventh-rank chauvin Sanlang. Merchants can also be officials. Why should you, Mr. Hu, look down on merchants!"
"Yes, yes, why do you look down on us businessmen?"
With a shout, she responded with great momentum, as if she wanted to beat Hu Yang, Xiahou Liusu was a little panicked. Zhou Xuantai was able to incite people, and this was not what she expected.
Hu Yang saw from both sides that the servants were not there and could not be tough, and said, "I would like to fight Zhou Xuanzhi again. Those who are successful will be able to bring the beauty back. Is this fair?"
Zhou Xuan glanced at Xiahou Liusu and thought to himself: "This beauty is charming, she can sing and play the guzheng. It is said that she can also know martial arts. It's a pity to kill me. When I use my tongue to show my perfection, I can see if I can let her abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" He immediately said sternly: "Hu Yang, it's easy for me, Zhou, to beat you by poetry, but Miss Xiahou is a living person. She has her own emotions and is not a puppet at the mercy of others. If you want to hold the beauty, ask Miss Xiahou if she agrees first?"
Sure enough, Xiahou Liusu's long eyelashes flashed, as if touching.
The merchants were willing to help Zhou Xuan and said with a smile: "Young Master Zhou is really pity for the fragrance and jade. He is not the kind of rough and powerful person who destroys flowers. I'm afraid Miss Xiahou has already made a secret promise."
The man in blue clothes said, "Let's do this, the poem's title is drawn by us, and the height is judged by Miss Xiahou, how about it?"
Hu Yang said in his heart: "Miss Liusu has already fallen in love with me. If she judges the poem, I will definitely win." He said: "Okay, let's make a question."
The scholar in the green shirt said, "It is not limited to poetry or rhyme, but just fill in a poem for Miss Xiahou. Do you think such a poem is good?"
"Okay!" Thousands of onlookers in Yuehufang shouted deafeningly.
Zhou Xuan began to cross his hands, and a small order came to his heart and asked Hu Yang: "Young Master Hu, I have already obtained a "Dian Jiang Lip". Should you recite it first or I recite it first?"
Hu Yang was looking at Xiahou Liusu for inspiration. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan had already obtained a lyrics, and couldn't help but feel panicked and said, "You can come first."
Zhou Xuan raised his hands and pressed them down. He pressed the noisy sound of Yuehufang to the ground and chanted:
"After the swing, I got up and tidy my hands. The flowers were thick and thin, and the clothes were thin. When I saw the guests coming, I slipped in my socks and gold hairpins, and walked away with shame. I leaned against the door and looked back, but smelled the green plums."
The setting sun shines, the smoke and willows are like picturesque, Yuehufang is crowded with people, but it is silent. After a while, cheers burst out:
"Thin sweat and light clothes are so wonderful!"
"But smell the green plums, it's even better!"
"Is it possible that Mr. Zhou and Miss Xiahou are old acquaintances? Otherwise, how can we describe the expression of Miss Xiahou's daughter as if it is in the present?"
Xiahou Liusu's eyelashes flashed constantly. Xiahou Liusu was not only skilled in martial arts, but also a talented woman who was good at poetry and lyrics and cleverly understood music. A woman was talented and thoughtful. Zhou Xuan's "Dian Jiang Lip" described her fresh and cutely. The girl's half-shamed and half-happy expression was vividly portrayed, which made Xiahou Liusu think that Zhou Xuan was a person who was very familiar with her, which made her feel extremely strange in her heart.
Xiahou Liusu's father was the family general of Chen Si'an, the governor of Qingyuan Jieyuan. The family general was actually a highly valued high-ranking slave. Last year, Xiahou Liusu followed Prince Lianchang to Xuanzhou according to his father's order. He showed himself as a chess piece in the hands of Prince Lianchang. In fact, the entire Mingyufang is a member of Prince Lianchang. Prince Lianchang's subordinates are involved in all walks of life, covering major prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty, playing the role of meticulous spy.
Xiahou Liusu has both the perseverance of a martial artist and the sentimentality of a talented woman. Assassinating Zhou Xuan was on order. She had no grudges and hatred with Zhou Xuan. So when this smiling prey appeared in front of her, she sprinkled poetry and looked suave, Xiahou Liusu felt a little doubtful: "Is this person I want to kill? Why should I kill him?"
Someone is asking: "Young Master Hu, are you reciting poems? Don't delay the time, it's almost dark, spring night is short, hahaha."
Hu Yang's face turned red, and the more anxious he was, the less he could not think of poetry and sentences.
Xiahou Liusu Yingying stood up and picked a scented flower with pink petals and white stamens. She walked to Zhou Xuan, her eyelashes drooped, and she reached out to wear the scented flower on Zhou Xuan's temples.
Lin Ning, who was standing beside him, stared at Xiahou Liusu's every move. Once she noticed any abnormal movement, the projectile she held in her hand could take Xiahou Liusu's life at any time.
Zhou Xuan smiled and faced it calmly, whispering: "Miss Mengxiahou's green eyes--"
Before the words were said, they were drowned by the sky-high cheers: "The courtesan's hairpin is blooming! The courtesan's hairpin is blooming!"
The courtesan's hair is wearing a flower, which means that the courtesan chose to spend the spring night with her. This person is Xuanzhi, the Salt Shang and Zhou Dynasty in Jinling.
Hu Yang was stunned for a while. He didn't expect Xiahou Liusu to wear flowers on Zhou Xuan. He rushed over and pushed Zhou Xuan hard. Zhou Xuan flashed lightly, and Hu Yang couldn't hold back and fell off the float with several flower pots. When he got up, the float had already driven and headed to Mingyu Tower in Sanqufang.
Hu Yang was extremely angry and wanted to catch up with the float and climb up. Someone behind him pulled his belt. Hu Yang shouted: "Don't pull me, I'm going to beat the salt merchant to death-" He looked back: "Hey, it's you!"
The one who grabbed Hu Yang was the young maid in green who was Xiahou Liusu, who signaled Hu Yang to follow her and took the lead in crossing the crowd to the street.
Hu Yang knew that there was something good, so he hurriedly followed him. At this time, the crowd of onlookers had already followed the float to Sanqufang. For a moment, Yuehufang was empty.
The little maid in green clothes said, "Mr. Hu, Miss Liusu asked me to tell me to go to the Lingshi Garden of Sanqufang at the end of the Xu hour tonight. Miss Liusu was forced to wear flowers on the salt merchant because of helplessness. After all, Mr. Hu didn't even recite half a poem, but the one who really fell in love with Miss Liusu is you. Do Mr. Hu understand the intention of Miss Liusu to meet you?"
Hu Yang said repeatedly: "I understand, understand, at the end of the Xu hour, Lingshi Garden, I will definitely come."
The little maid in green said, "Young Master Hu must not let Miss Liusu down on her infatuation!" Then she turned around and left, and soon she left without a trace.
Hu Yang stood there and smiled foolishly, thinking: "I naturally understand Miss Liusu's beauty, that is, to take the lead and pick the courtesan first, so that the salt merchant can appreciate the broken flowers and willows, haha, how happy! How happy!"
The Hu family's personal servant came over at this time and shouted: "Young Master, why are your mouth swollen? Wow, it's all bleeding!"
Hu Yang just fell off the float and fell down. His upper lip was swollen and thick, but he was now fascinated and didn't feel his mouth hurt. He smiled with his pig's mouth and said, "Go back home, I want to take a bath in the orchid soup. Tonight - hehe, I have to take some secret medicine in the room to boost my voice--"
After Hu Yang and his gang left, Sanchi walked out of a restaurant on the street. The hotel staff took out his horse. Sanchi rode on his horse and rushed to Sanqufang. He quickly caught up with the float, leaned over the horse's back, and lowered his voice and said to Zhou Xuan: "Master, don't mess with the flowers. There are still major things to do on this trip. Going to Quanzhou to see Chen Duhu, it's the secret order of His Majesty the Emperor. It's better to keep a low profile along the way."
Others couldn't hear it clearly, but Lin Ning and Xiahou Liusu heard it. Lin Ning curled his lips slightly and said to himself: "The master and the third brother played this again. This is a deliberate fight with someone downstairs of Meixiang Tower in order to deal with me, pretending to accidentally drop out of the Falcon Five-Star Card. It is a completely re-use of the same trick. The purpose is to make Xiahou Liusu have doubts and will not attack the master immediately, but the master can really predict that it is so accurate? Xiahou Liusu must be Mr. Lianchang's man?"
Previously, when he came down from Lingyang Mountain, Zhou Xuan had a secret discussion with Sanchi and asked Sanchi to find an opportunity to mention the Qingyuan Protectorate. Zhou Xuan believed that Xiahou Liusu and Young Master Lianchang were accomplices, and Young Master Lianchang was Li Kun's friend. In order to gain the support of Qingyuan Protectorate, Li Kun would definitely promise that once he ascended the throne, the Qingyuan Protectorate would become a country and other benefits, then Young Master Lianchang would naturally do his best to clear the obstacles for Li Kun.
Zhou Xuan asked the three fools to reveal their slightest words, implying that Zhou Xuan went to Quanzhou to meet Chen Si'an under the secret order of Emperor Tang Li Yu. Young Master Lian Chang naturally had to find a way to know what secret order it was. Before he could figure it out, he would not be in a hurry to take Zhou Xuan's life.
Zhou Xuan always has a way to make himself seem very useful and cannot be killed.
Looking at Xiahou Liusu with cold eyes, her eyelashes flashed and she was restless.
At this time, the float was approaching Sanqufang, and Lin Ning said, "Mr. Zhou, I will go back to the inn first. Sanqufang is not my place."
Zhou Xuan said: "Mrs. Ning, please give me a gift."
Lin Ning got off the float and got on the carriage of the Xinzhou Hou Mansion that had been following behind. Lin Hanyun also got on the carriage and asked, "San Sister-in-law, Brother Zhou Xuan really wants to go to Mingyu Tower?"
Lin Ning said: "Miss. Don't worry, the master will not be in danger."
Lin Hanyun's eyes widened: "I'm not saying danger, am I saying that Brother Zhou Xuan really wants to sleep with the courtesan Xiahou Liusu for a night?"
Lin Ning couldn't help laughing and said, "Then I don't know. Xiahou Liusu is both talented and beautiful. She just put flowers on her master, and she was very affectionate. Her master was not Liu Xiahui--"
"So do you want to kiss?" Lin Hanyun is most concerned about this.
Miss Lin Er was so brave that even Lin Ning, a person who had experienced it, was embarrassed by her question, and hesitated: "This, I should be kissing you."
Lin Hanyun said angrily: "It's really unrespicable, it's too unrespicable. I'm going to pull him off the float!"
Lin Ning quickly stopped him: "Miss Second, don't be reckless. You are just the identity of your sister and not the master's wife. How can you care about him?"
Lin Hanyun felt uncomfortable when she thought that Zhou Xuan was going to kiss Xiahou Liusu. However, she refused Zhou Xuan's proposal in the carriage yesterday. She really couldn't care whether Zhou Xuan went to the brothel. She was so anxious that she said, "I'm not easy to manage, but can my sister take care of it?"
"Why?"
"Because my sister is going to marry Zhou Xuan!"
Lin Ning only knew that Lin Hanyun liked to follow Zhou Xuan's pp all day long and marry Zhou Xuan sooner or later. Unexpectedly, Miss Lin would marry Zhou Xuan, and was surprised and couldn't help but worry a little, thinking: "The master is so romantic, the third brother is influenced by his eyes, but he should not be influenced by his master. Didn't the second lady say that the third brother is peeking at the beauty without looking at him squintedly? Alas, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to the ink are black. This is so unreliable. I have to be careful."
Lin Hanyun said with confidence: "So, I want to take care of him for my sister."
