Rune

Chapter 33
The girl was taken aback.

First of all, it was because of the sudden question; secondly, because of the attitude of the young man in front of him, did he bow to himself?
The music boat in this era is not just a place to simply search for flowers and willows, but more, it is singing, dancing and folk art.But after all, it is a place with some service color, no matter how high it is praised, it cannot escape the essence of a brothel.

Therefore, this normal bow, placed on this flower boat, is rare.

The woman laughed lightly, and began to look at the boy up and down.

Dressed in white cloth and light, he looks like a scholar, but his skin is a bit rough and his hair is too short, so he doesn't look so fragile.

"Little brother, did you just ask Oiran?"

Xu Baiyan nodded: "Yes."

He didn't dare to raise his eyes. After staying in the Gobi fortress for more than ten years, he met countless beautiful girls on the flower boat, and they looked at each other with eyes like silk. Xu Baiyan is not a machismo, but if suddenly His face turned red, and it would be so embarrassing for the girl opposite to see that he had been a bachelor for more than ten years.

So he simply lowered his head slightly without raising his eyes.

However, this behavior, in the eyes of the girl opposite, is nothing more than an obvious cover-up.

"Hahaha——" She smiled even more charmingly, and her plump body was directly pressed against her: "I don't know, little brother, why do you ask the oiran?"

Xu Baiyan clenched his fists with several blue veins: "Because you are beautiful!"

The girl had already held the young man's arm at this moment. In this fireworks venue, if she met such an unworldly little brother, she couldn't let it go easily.

"Pretty?" The girl slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and she was very angry: "What's the use of being beautiful? You don't know how much money it takes to become the guest of the oiran? And after one night, it's just Talking about poems and songs, I can’t even touch them with my little hands. The beauty of flowers in the mirror, water and moon is beautiful, but satisfying your stomach and quenching your thirst is the most important thing. Sister, my name is Shui’er, and the most important thing is to quench your thirst.”

Xu Baiyan's face was already red to the neck, but he was still very determined to show himself a battle-tested appearance.

"Thank you girl."

"Sister Shui'er!"

"Oh, thank you, Sister Shui'er, for reminding me, but I want to see the oiran, and it's also entrusted by a friend."

"Friend you said"

"It's not me!" Xu Baiyan answered first.

Shui'er tilted her head, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, there are two oirans in our Lefang, the first is the musician Li Honghu, the second is the dancer Song Qingqing, and the two are Of course, they are all angel-like characters, and they all have their own show boats, so you can find them naturally when you go forward."

Xu Baiyan quickly thanked her, and walked quickly towards the direction Shui'er pointed.

It's not that he's not close to women, but that the eyes of all the women on the flower boat are too vicious. If someone else finds out that he has no money at all, he just came here for nothing, and then kicks him out. But it failed the expectations of the young and old at Yuxiakou.

Xu Baiyan only dared to look at Yingying and Yanyan walking along the way. The flower boat was too big. After walking for a while, he finally came to the other side of the boat. Looking around, the river water was rippling with red waves reflected by the lanterns. Two small flower boats were floating not far away, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at each other from a distance, lowering their heads, there were several small boats parked under the flower boat, and when they saw someone looking there, the boatman said hello.

Originally, if I wanted to get on the show boat of the oiran, I could only take this kind of small boat to ferry back and forth. The distance is not far, but it costs 5 yuan, which is more expensive than a meal.

Xu Baiyan thought about it, but he couldn't swim over, so he could only grit his teeth and admit it.

"I don't know where the little brother is going?" The boatman asked with a smile after collecting the money.

"Which one is less?"

"Well, of course there are few people on the boat of the musician Li Huakui."

"Why?" Xu Baiyan couldn't help asking.

"Hey, because Li Huakui has a cold temper, he doesn't like to talk much at ordinary times. Even at night when there are the most guests and the busiest time, he just plays a few songs and rarely drinks wine."

"Oh, you don't sell yourself as a performer." Xu Baiyan nodded and said, "Then I don't know if Li Huakui is pretty?"

"Of course she's beautiful, otherwise how could she become an oiran? Some people even said that this Li oiran is the second most beautiful woman in the world!" The boatman didn't know if it was a professional habit, but when he talked about it, he seemed energetic: "No secret Brother, tell me, I have been working here for several years, and occasionally I can see Li Huakui from the bow of the boat. Although it is only a glimpse from a distance, tsk tsk is like a fairy descended from the world, the second in the world, and it is well-deserved Return!"

When Xu Baiyan heard this, he also made up his mind: "Then let's go to the boat of musician Li Huakui."

"Are you sure?" The boatman also kindly reminded: "Actually, Song Qingqing, the dancer on the opposite side, is also a fairy. Her appearance is similar to that of Li Huakui, but her personality is approachable, and she can accompany you when drinking and joking. If you are talented, maybe Recite a poem, then Song Huakui can dance to you casually."

"No need, I'd better go to Miss Li Honghu's show boat." Xu Baiyan said, thinking to himself, the less people there, the better.

In fact, his appeal is very simple, that is, to ask for a pot of tea, to learn more. What is the right way to recite poems? He is not good at all. Even if he copied a few poems by relying on the innate advantages of the time traveler, it would be unreasonable and unreasonable. Don't yell impassionedly for a few songs, and finally find that they don't match your age and experience. If others ask you, but you can't explain it, then it will be uncomfortable.

"Okay." The boatman smiled, without saying much, he propped up the boat and rowed towards the beautiful boat.

Although the show boat is small, it also has two floors. Although the two oirans in this painting and music are just performing arts and not selling themselves, one guest can stay overnight on the show boat every night.

Of course, all the other girls on the flower boat will accompany you this night. As for the two oirans, they will just play a piece of music for you alone, or have two drinks with you, that's all.

But just like this, there are still many sons and dignitaries in the imperial capital who spend a lot of money. After all, when wealth and social status have reached a bottleneck, face has become what these people are most keen to pursue!

Just imagine, these two oirans are both beauties who can compete for the second place in the world. Instead of sleeping on the same show boat, this is a great weapon to show their status at the wine table in the future.

In a short while, it will arrive.

Xu Baiyan thanked the boatman politely, and then boarded the show boat. It was indeed a bit quieter here, in the center of the river, looking at the bustle in the distance, there was a feeling of being alone in the hustle and bustle.

But before Xu Baiyan could comprehend this state of mind, a maid came to him, bowed gracefully, and signaled him to follow her.

Xu Baiyan nodded, just about to follow into the show boat, when suddenly he thought of something.

He walked around and saw that there was no one else, so he quickly possessed himself slightly and asked in a very small voice.

"Girl, dare I ask, how much is the cheapest pot of tea on this boat?"

The maid was taken aback, probably because she stayed on the boat for such a long time, it was the first time someone asked this question, she covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Young Master Hui, the Dahongpao for the New Year, three or two and one pot."

Xu Baiyan staggered.
