Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 622 The Origin of Yanchun Tower
Inside Yanchun Tower,

The beautiful face under the bamboo hat flashed with a look of determination. It had been arranged for so long and it was just the last step. How could it give up.

Although Luo Yunhou is a hero, he is also a womanizer. Fortunately, he has four people under his command. Looking at Liu Yue and Wei Shuyun serving beside him, it is obvious that they are among the four. As for the other two, they are not. Except for the two oirans.

Reaching out, Zhou Xiangxue gently plucked the strings, and an almost faint sound came out. Unfortunately, it was already raw. How to pluck the next string, Zhou Xiangxue had no place to start. She sighed faintly and moved her hand away.

"Liu Yue, when you get back, you can play the piano here and Wei Shuyun will take care of you."

"It's Your Highness,"

Liu Yue carefully replied, she had seen the scene just now. His Highness had been busy with the funeral affairs of the Marquis of Jingnan for many years. His piano skills had fallen behind for a long time and had become rusty. His Highness was so talented back then, and she felt a little sad in her heart!
"Take care of it, I'm afraid the rightful owner is here."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

downstairs,

The hall was very lively,
The kiln sisters in gorgeous clothes were walking back and forth in the building. Many dandy boys holding ink feather fans gathered together in twos and threes, drinking wine and discussing poetry, as well as various merchants coming and going. The hall was full of cheers and the waiters were waiting for them. With wine and food in hand, people upstairs and downstairs were busy.

Wei Shuyun's smiling face was stunned for a moment, she raised her bright eyes and looked at Mr. Hou, smiled slightly and said;
"The Marquis is indeed very talented in literature, and I do have a younger brother named Wei Liang, who is at your Highness's side."

Take back the invitation,

The first floor is the hall, with a high platform built in the middle. There are dancers dancing on it, and silk and bamboo instruments are playing. There are wine tables around it, and everyone is full. On the walls around Yanchun Tower, there is a One after another, there are embroidered portraits, calligraphy and paintings, various flowers, birds, insects and fish, as well as various figures, dazzling people.

When Zhang Jinyu heard the name, she took another look at her. Her surname was Wei, Wei Shuyun. The name was a good one, but she felt like she was familiar. The Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty found a woman with the surname Wei in the princess's place and established her as her. The queen should have a younger brother who was named a general. He made immortal contributions and his reputation will be passed down through the ages.

"Hmph, it's just a trick. He can't be one of our own. The whole top floor is quiet. It's not a coincidence. If my guess is correct, that noble man should be the owner behind Yanchun Tower."

Only then did Zhang Jinyu truly confirm that Nuo Da's property belonged to Princess Yueru, and she should be one of them. Then His Highness's strength should be re-estimated.

Your surname is also Wei. Could it be a hint from Princess Yueru? Zhang Jinyu couldn't help but asked tentatively without thinking too much,
"Your surname is Wei. You are a virtuous woman. You are Shu, Yun is Run. What a good name. You may have a younger brother!"

Then he knocked on the door and said,
"Your Highness, Marquis Luo Yun has arrived."

"Ningbian, did you see something strange?"

Zhang Jinyu rubbed her nose and secretly thought that it was awesome and really fun. Above the third floor are the so-called private rooms. Yanchun Tower has four floors, which is considered a relatively tall building. Most people don't have the guts to build it that high.

After passing through a corridor, we arrived at the eastern end. There were actually quite a few rooms, and there were double doors at the end, so that was it.

Wei Shuyun opened the door and walked in first.

"Master Marquis, I still don't understand. When I just went upstairs, wasn't there someone else in the first room in the corridor?"

Relaxing his mood, he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Hearing that he really had a younger brother, it was Zhang Jinyu's turn to be a little nervous. The scene was right, but he was not a prince.

The woman in white palace attire slowly bowed and saluted with a perfect manner. It was Zhang Jinyu's turn to take a breath. Such a woman was actually a maid, so generous that she would not be willing to use her like this.

Wei Shuyun stopped,
"Master Hou, we're here."

Thinking about being in charge, he led the people to the wing room at the east end of the top floor without delay. In the corridor, there were many private rooms with their doors ajar, and the sound of pianos filled the room. It was considered an elegant person, but when he thought about the end Or having sex, isn't it the same thing?

Arriving at a purple door,

"Back to the Marquis, the little girl's surname is Wei and her name is Shuyun."

"lead the way."

After leading the guards up the stairs, looking from the back to the front, the scent of the Yanchun Building was fragrant, and a sense of absurdity hit our faces.

"Invite him in."

When we reached the fourth floor, it was much quieter than the noisy one below. The corridors were winding and winding, and the houses were not built in an orderly manner. I don’t know what that meant.

Pointing to the surrounding rooms, the concierges were hiding their faces. Ningbian was still confused and a little confused.

Another ten thousand blessings and gold peace, flowing like flowing water.

"The autumn water is full of hibiscus, and the moon is as beautiful as the moon. The princess has never seen her. She is very generous. I dare to ask the girl her name."

After leading the people, he walked in and entered the attic door. There was a steward who was responsible for checking the invitations.
Zhang Jinyu took it out from his pocket and handed it over. When the steward took it, he immediately stood up and replied respectfully,
"Sir, someone is waiting for you in the Nuan Pavilion at the east end of the top floor."

Ning Bian looked around blankly, then took a breath of air, and it turned out to be like this,
at this time,

Zhang Jinyu got off the carriage and led the people in through the back door. The back door was not small. It was also a large separated yard with houses and stables.

Zhang Jinyu rolled her eyes, and even if she had the courage to ambush her, she wouldn't be able to play another game in the capital.
"You, that's not what you're talking about. Look at the houses around you. Although it's not yet the hour, it's weird to say that there's no one there."

Behind him, Ning Bian was dressed in powerful clothing, carrying a long knife, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. Hearing this, he looked around, but he didn't understand what he was looking for.
"Master Marquis, the general has not noticed. Everything is the same around, and there is no ambush."

The steward returned the invitation respectfully, which made Zhang Jinyu a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions.

The most gorgeous door in front opened, and a gorgeous woman came out and said with a smile,
"As expected of the Marquis of Luo Yun who is famous all over the capital, he pays close attention to every detail. The little girl came to greet the Marquis on the order of the princess."

"Oh, I see."

After bypassing the hall and going up to the third floor, I saw a lot of small shops. Women of all kinds were standing in the shops wearing colorful clothes, with pink foundation and jade bones, showing off their charms, wearing red fans, pointing at themselves with joy, but bursts of The laughter mixed with the thin gasps filled the air. The noble young man walked casually with a smile, pointing at the women as if he were selecting goods in the market. He was much better than Chunlou.

While walking, I made some introductions,
Zhang Jinyu was horrified when she heard this. This was not only a place to make a fortune, but also a place to make friends with young talents from all over the world. Those so-called good relationships were probably done deliberately by Princess Yueru. If the net was cast, there would be many big fish.

Wei Shuyun nodded and walked forward sideways.
"On the Marquis' side, Yanchun Tower was built during the reign of the late emperor. It was originally used as a palace for the princess. However, the princess did not want to, so she built the place into an attic and left it as an estate. All the expenses for the princess palace came from Here, it has attracted young talents from all over the world, and it has also found many good families for the sisters who have fallen here."

soon,

A warm and quiet voice came.

When I walked into the hall, I saw on the second floor a small hall with red painted eaves and high corners. The silk curtains fluttered gently in the breeze, bringing bursts of fragrance. I don't know what they were for.

As the fragrance of orchids came, Zhang Jinyu couldn't help but take a deep breath and stepped in. Before taking a step away, she ordered Ning Bian and others behind her,

"You guys, stay here and guard the door."

"Yes. Lord Marquis."

Ning Bian cupped his fists and waved his hand, and the entire team of soldiers immediately dispersed and stood guard outside the door. Seeing this,

Zhang Jinyu then walked in with confidence, and the door behind him was slowly closed by Wei Shuyun.

Turned a corner towards the inner hall,

There is a large landscape screen. If you look closely, it looks like a map of the world. Standing in front of the screen, Zhang Jinyu looked carefully. It looks like a simple territorial map of Dawu. He is very brave.

suddenly,

inside the screen,
The empty voice asked again,
"What is Marquis Luo Yun looking at? It's surprising that there is still something that can catch the Marquis' eyes."

Zhang Jinyu stood there, unable to see clearly what was going on inside through the screen. The question must have been asked by Princess Yueru, so she didn't say much.

"Your Highness is surprised by what he said. There are so many beautiful things in the world that are worthy of my liking. Although your Highness's screen is a bit sloppy, if your guess is correct, it is a map of the territory of Dawu. The north side is made of ink. A little deeper, it must be the border gate of the North. It has been the number one enemy of the Central Plains court in all dynasties. Your Highness actually puts it here, which makes countless men in the capital feel ashamed. "

After speaking,
Zhang Jinyu raised her head and looked at a hazy black figure sitting firmly in the inner hall.

moment,

A burst of laughter came, followed by the melodious sound of the piano. The music was melodious and sad, with a sense of confiding. Of course, Zhang Jinyu must not know the name.

Just one song.

"The Marquis is indeed a person from outside the customs. He doesn't stick to trivial matters. Please take a seat."

Zhang Jinyu didn’t refuse either.
Turning around the screen and entering the inner hall, I saw a long table. On the left side was Wei Shuyun, the woman in palace clothes just now, and on the other side was a woman in green, playing the piano.

The seat of the Lord,
Instead, he was dressed in a black robe, with a hat on his head, and the black veil fell off, so his face could not be seen clearly, but the nobility of his body came to him.

Zhang Jinyu stood there and bowed his hands.
"My lord, Zhang Jinyu, Marquis of Luoyun, has met His Highness."

Zhou Xiangxue also took the opportunity to take a look at the world-famous Marquis. He was young, capable, and so handsome, which was rare. His heart that had been dusty for a long time suddenly started to fluctuate, and his eyes flickered.

"The distinguished guest has arrived. Please sit down without any formalities."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhang Jinyu bowed again, and then slowly sat down, meticulously, but without the relief he felt outside.

He glanced at the table and saw that there was nothing else but a bowl of hot tea. When he raised his head, he could only see the bamboo hat of Princess Yueru and a picture hanging behind His Highness.

"What is the way of heaven!"

Good guy, such a loud tone,

Taking a closer look, the font is delicate but strong. Looking at the signature, Zhou Xiangxue is actually written by the eldest princess. The rumors outside are too false. Ten years of seclusion is not cultivation. This is practice.
Looking at the woman in front of him again, Zhang Jinyu still didn't know that this woman was a disaster and a big trouble.

You must not mess with him, his mind flashed, and his face looked a bit unnatural.

This action fell in the princess's eyes, and the action of pouring tea in her hand was also a slap in the face.

After pouring half the bowl of tea, he stopped and pushed the half bowl of tea over.
"Master Marquis, please have a taste."

Zhang Jinyu didn't understand yet. She looked at the half bowl of water in front of her and didn't care. She picked it up and took it to her nose to smell it. She couldn't seem to smell it. Looking at the clear tea, she drank it all without hesitation. It's quite sweet.

"Your Highness, great tea!"

Zhou Xiangxue smiled and asked,
"Tea is good tea. Why didn't the Marquis ask me what I meant when I poured half a bowl of tea?"

"Back to Your Highness, asking some questions is in vain and will only increase your worries. You can quench your thirst with half a bowl of tea, so why do you have to have a bowl of tea?

Since His Highness gave me half a bowl of tea, it must have been his original gift. It is a gift for me to drink the tea, so there is no need to ask again. "

Zhang Jinyu didn't care, let alone half a bowl of tea, he would drink every drop. But these words made the eyes of the three women on the table light up and their beautiful eyes looked over.

suddenly,
Zhou Xiangxue smiled softly,
"Haha, you are a wonderful person. I haven't been so happy for a long time."

After saying that, he stretched out his jade hand and took the tea bowl back. This time, he filled the teapot with a cup. It was still a little overflowing. He couldn't push it with one hand, so he used both hands to push it over gently.

Zhang Jinyu stretched out her arms, put her hands on her chest, and bowed.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I don't dare accept it."

"Try the tea from Maple Leaf Valley! On the hillside behind my palace, there is an acre of camellia! It is said to be a variety from the Western Regions. As soon as I came here, I asked Liu Yue to serve it. It took more than ten years to have these. They are all collection!"

Zhou Xiangxue opened a jar on the table, and the golden tea leaves leaked out. Zhang Jinyu took a closer look, but couldn't see anything interesting.

Tea leaves are generally green or yellow. Logically speaking, they are all scented teas such as chrysanthemums. The green leaves have gold on them, which is indeed rare. But these things are leaves after all. What you drink is not drinking. Of course, Can't say that.

"Then let me have a good taste."

Zhang Jinyu didn't hold the tea bowl. After all, the water was already full. She lowered her head and sipped it gently with her mouth. The tea left a fragrant aroma in her mouth. It had an orchid fragrance, which was different from the tea from the Central Plains and was a bit bitter.

He picked up the tea bowl again and drank it all in one gulp. It was as enjoyable as drinking a drink, but Zhang Jinyu had no idea how delicious it was.

However, this action made Zhou Xiangxue a little stunned, and then a little relieved, which was in line with the style of an honorable military commander.

Unlike a civil servant, he looked polite and courteous. He acted spontaneously and sincerely. He gave me another cup of tea.

Zhang Jinyu looked a little dumbfounded. He was hungry, so he couldn't force himself to drink tea to satisfy his hunger. His face was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to ask. He looked at the tea brought to him and was indifferent.

At this moment, Zhou Xiangxue couldn't see it and asked,

"The Marquis doesn't like the quality of tea, and he's still not used to this tea."

"Well, that's not true. Your Highness, I like to drink tea. This tea from the Western Regions is quite good. However, I came in a hurry and did not eat. You also know that people who practice martial arts have a large appetite and are a little hungry, so I can’t drink the tea.”

Zhang Jinyu replied helplessly, why did he drink tea as soon as the conversation started, and didn't even have a cake? He entertained people by himself, but he gave enough tea and snacks.

After hearing these words, the three other girls were a little surprised, and Princess Yueru was even more smiling. She was really an interesting person.

"Oh, it's my fault."
