Chapter 38: Scattered Flowers Building Su Mu Next
"Scattered Flower House, an invitation from Princess Zhennan? Yujing City's first talented girl Su Mu's hall meeting, talk about the mystery, discuss poetry and literature ........"
As soon as Hong Yi heard this invitation, his brows furrowed, and a wonderful feeling rose up in his heart, a feeling caused by the name of "Jade Capital City's No. 1 Talented Girl".
"Mother was also the No. 1 talented girl in Yujing City eighteen years ago. But what's the use of that? What's the point? After marrying someone, you're not even as good as a commoner."
With a paper invitation, infinite melancholy welled up in his heart, and even, there was even some inexplicable anger in his heart.
Hong Yi also did not know where this anger came from, probably because of the injustice he felt for what happened to his mother.
"To participate, or not to participate? Going to this kind of place, if I let my father know that would not be good. But I owe Luo Yun a favor at least, and it seems inappropriate to just shrug off her hall meeting. Regardless of it, anyway, debts are not overwhelming, it's good to go, to see what kind of a temperament the number one talented girl in Jade Capital City has."
Marquis Wu Wen's family rules were strict, and the sons and daughters of the family were strictly forbidden to go into those pleasure grounds.
Although it was not prohibited at all, once Hong Xuanji knew about it, he would not be able to spare a good beating.
However, Hong Yi is now unruly anyway, so he also crosses his heart.
In fact, he himself knew that going to Scattered Flower House was not for the sake of the moon and seeing talented women and beauties, but more importantly, it evoked the memory of his mother.
"Go back and report to the princess, I'll pack up and come right away."
Hong Yi took the invitation snow paper invitation and put it inside his sleeve, got up and organized his clothes, put on a set of freshly sewn satin brocade clothes outside, changed into new thin-soled buckskin fast boots, and trimmed the edges neatly before going out.
He has the money, a line of clothing or do exquisite but not flashy, is a standard scholar son.
This is the clothing he gave himself in advance to do after he won the lift, since it is to participate in the Princess of the Hall, the heart and the meaning of the memory of his mother, can not wear too shabby.
Seeing Hong Yi picked up the invitation and went out, Hongyu and Huangyu exchanged a glance, one of them hurriedly went to the main house, apparently to report to Mrs. Zhao.
"Scattered flowers building" in the east of Yujing City, said building is not a building, covers an area of dozens of acres, a colorful carving railings and jade masonry, a heavy five-storey pavilions, in front of the door of the brightly dressed slaves, behind the door is a long and deep flower hall.
Many bright carriages at the door, green palanquin, pink gold lacquered palanquin and so on under the guidance of the mansion slaves, are well organized, see not the slightest panic.
This kind of arrangement and momentum, enough to let the general civilians, even the general small rich people are discouraged.
Indeed, "Scattered Flowers House" every time the minimum consumption, have to spend hundreds of taels of silver, is a typical money slum. Who called "Scattered Flowers House" is the first big green house in Yujing?
Hong Yi looked at a row of far-reaching delicate pavilions, and pavilions on the roof of the vaguely pink tent, as well as if there is no aroma, not yet in, already feel the soft jade and warm incense, the sound, so that the root of the people are rotten.
"Scattered flowers building although it is a green house, but all of them are clear officials, only sell art, not sell their bodies, inside the individual women are zither, chess, calligraphy and painting proficiency, poetry and song amazingly beautiful, Yu Jing's princes and noblemen, civil and military ministers, the scholarly community, often do not hesitate to throw a lot of money to invite these clear officials to the scene, is the elegant place of the wind and the moon, but different from the general manipulation of the business of the flesh and blood. The green house."
Hong Yi knows that the operation of this "scattered flowers building" is the most elegant place of the moon, not to carry out the sale of flesh business.
However, this kind of place is much more profitable than those flesh trade greenhouses.
Inside the Jade City, some idle and idle princes and nobles, scholars, civil and military ministers, every once in a while, will call on friends, held a small hall, or drinking, or talk about poetry and literature, or appreciation of calligraphy and painting, and so on and so forth.
At this time, you need a woman to accompany, only to appear style liu, especially the need for elegant women. Of course, the family's maids, concubines, wives and tigers are not suitable.
The most suitable ones are of course these Qing officials.
Every hall meeting, to invite these Qing officials, even the coldest, but also hundreds of taels of silver, those red, thousands of taels are not uncommon, not to mention the Yujing City, the first talented girl.
Of course, Marquis Wu Wen's residence, never held such a hall meeting, Hong Xuanji even in the court, a few times on the chapter, suggesting that the court to prohibit the scattered flowers building such a place of the moon, in order to prevent the official world is chaotic.
But this chapter was strongly opposed, more on the flower house these buildings, the annual tax to the court is too large, the relationship is more intertwined, even if the Marquis of Wu Wen such a powerful figure, but also can not get down.
Hong Yi arrived in front of the Scattered Flowers Building, immediately there are two luxury slaves to welcome up, up and down to look him over.
Generally the characters who came to Scattered Flowers House were in sedan chair and horse carriage, and those who came on foot like Hong Yi were almost none.
But Hong Yi dressed brightly, and has the temperament of a scholar, the mansion slaves are not good to ask him to go away, but when Hong Yi took out the Zhennan Princess Luoyuntang will be invited to the invitation, the face immediately changed, piled up a face full of smiles.
When Hong Yi threw out a reward of two silver coins per person, the eyes of the two Magnificent Slaves were squinting with smiles, their backs bent with bows, and they hurriedly invited Hong Yi inside.
"Wherever you go, you still need to pay attention to the rules of wherever you go."
Although Hong Yi body is also a few hundred taels of silver, this all of a sudden reward are four taels, the heart is also a little pain, but he knows the reason, to where, there is where the rules, to the rules of the scattered flowers building, on a throw of the money, the reward should be rewarded, stingy, or there are a lot of small stumbles are waiting for you.
Inside is a lot of corridors, pavilions, gardens and pools, there are many rooms, decoration than the big family but also much more expansive.
After seven turns, an expansive flower hall is shown in front of you, as if it is the main courtyard of a rich and noble family, the pavilion is bright, the courtyard is spacious, and a lot of young people are gathered.
Hong Yi saw Luo Yun who was dressed like a male, holding a folding fan in his hand and hanging a jade pendant on his waist at a glance.
At this moment, she was surrounded by a group of Wang Gongzi's stars in the center.
"Why hasn't Miss Su Mu come out yet? We've been waiting for an hour?"
"Today is Princess Zhennan's invitation, could it be that Miss Su Mu is still taking the big one?"
At this time, the cadre of princes and sons were all clamoring, and next to them, a few women from Linlang Peirong, and a few luxury slaves were accompanying the conversation, "Miss Su Mu is meeting with an important guest. She will come over in a while."
"What important guest, more important than Princess Zhennan? Let's go take a look." The group yelled again.
"What about you guys being too rowdy, isn't the Da Qian dynasty the most civilized?" Luo Yun raised her folding fan and shook her head, these people immediately quieted down, at the same time she saw Hong Yi, her eyes lit up and she greeted him.
At the same time.
To the east of Scattered Flowers Building, inside a secluded house in a five-story high building.
A woman of national color who seemed to have an immortal air was sitting quietly.
Opposite her, was a brocade-clothed, flamboyant middle-aged man, none other than Hong Xuanji.
