Zhao Paner had been preparing privately for a long time for the Flower Moon Banquet tonight. When the gate of the Yiyuan Pavilion was slowly opened, everyone surrounded Immortal Master Lin and Sansi Lin to enter the pavilion.
However, the room was empty and the lights were not on. Only a beam of moonlight was projected into the middle of the stage through the skylight. The attic was silent, and no one came out to receive it.
Everyone couldn't help looking at each other, Mr. Zhuoshi squinted his eyes and tried to look around, and said in a voiceless voice: "Why don't you see the person welcoming you?"
At this time, the door suddenly closed, and the inside of the pavilion was plunged into darkness.
"What does this mean?"
"Did you go to the wrong place?"
A few of them wanted to leave, but hit a wall. For a while, anxiety and panic spread in the darkness.
Infected by the surrounding atmosphere, Lin Sansi only felt his heart shudder. Seeing the closed door, his first reaction was to lay down his gun and lie down at the Hongmen Banquet, and hurriedly said: "Come on! Open the door!"
Although Immortal Master Lin in the middle of the crowd seemed calm and unhurried, a thin layer of sweat was already breaking out on his forehead. Faced with this sudden situation, he was unavoidably a little apprehensive, and he looked at him calmly and deliberately. Zhou Ji, who fell behind, saw him smiling indifferently and nodding slightly to himself, suddenly realized, and with a flick of the whisk, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. Yong'an Building has sold such a big pass, there must be other arrangements."
As soon as the words fell, a few lights behind them suddenly illuminated the stage, and the melodious music played quietly. Everyone turned around in shock, only to find that under the beam of light in the middle of the stage, at some time, a team dressed in Tang Dynasty palace costumes, holding various The beauties of musical instruments appeared in front of everyone.
Outside the light beam, there are several women in different dresses waiting on both sides of the stage.
These are all prostitutes specially invited by Zhao Paner from the Jiaofang. After her guidance and training these days, a pre-Tang "Night Banquet" that is different from the common dances in Bianjing is displayed in front of everyone.
For a while, Lin Sansi and several other guests stood in the same place, Zhou Ji sat in the seat at the far end of the corner, glanced at the screen behind the stage, casually picked up the pastries on the table and tasted a few mouthfuls .
Immortal Master Lin saw the 'True Immortal Master' sitting down, and himself, the 'False Immortal Master', also sat down.
A series of ringtones were crisp, and the dance music ended in a blink of an eye.
The beauties returned to the stage and turned their backs to the crowd, waiting for the next song to start.
It was only then that everyone came to their senses, staring at the Tang Palace ladies on the stage with unsatisfactory expressions, and gave way to each other to take their seats.
As another series of bells rang, the ladies spun around and scattered, and countless fresh petals turned into a rain of flowers and danced down from the second floor.
Song Yinzhang, dressed in a white gauze lining and a bright skirt inside, is the budding stamen, sitting in the center of the beam of beauty, with a big red peony on his head, delicate makeup on his face, half holding a pipa in his arms, and gently playing the piano string.
Zheng~
The prelude is elegant and smooth, and when the fingertips reach the end string, there is a bit more sharpness out of thin air.
After seeing the wretched old man sitting in front of him at the twelve seats, Song Yinzhang's originally clear eyes suddenly turned cold, and he suppressed the resentment and doubts surging in his heart, and did not interrupt the performance on the spot, asking why the other party came.
Especially when Lin Sansi raised the hand that almost touched her with a wretched face, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, Song Yinzhang felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly, and halfway through the "hairpin" There has been a slight change in the style of "Flower Lady", adding a touch of indomitable arrogance to the original song's elegant and virtuous Tang Palace Ladies.
What happened? Why the sudden change of style?
Zhao Pan'er had known Song Yinzhang for so many years, she frowned slightly, raised the corner of her skirt and looked out behind the screen, and found that Lin Sansi, who had been erased from the list, appeared at the banquet, her eyes lit up first, and then she became entangled.
Having obtained the Huayue banquet letter, most of the people present were people who knew the rhythm, and those who didn't know why looked at each other. The obsessed Lin Sansi still squinted his eyes and stared at Song Yinzhang. He was only arty and didn't pay attention to the details.
In order to avoid further business trips, Zhao Paner ordered the others to ring the bell, calling for several other maids beside her to join her on the stage, imitating the picture of a lady with hairpin flowers hanging down at the back of the stage, and came here by blowing flowers and willows.
Just when everyone was amazed at Zhao Paner's graceful dancing posture, which was painted with people, like a picture of a lady with hairpin flowers on silk cloth, Zhou Ji's eyes fell on Lin Sansi who followed Song Yinzhang to leave the stage.
Zhou Ji is not an extremely wicked person, but he is not a purely good person either. He has no one else to look at his confidante, and he kills the whole family violently, but he also does not see Lin Sansi's obscene and indecent behavior.
But here is the Huayue Banquet, if he is allowed to die suddenly on the spot, I am afraid that the restaurant will have to be shut down that night. , nor implicate the innocent to such an extent.
Hmm. Just for that.
Si Teng, who was reading in the Liyuan room, seemed to feel something in his heart. He raised his eyes to look at the moonlit night sky outside the window, and a strand of vine silk grew quietly in the air, slowly flowing into his chest.
Zhou Ji lowered his head and looked at the front of his eyes, a wisp of rattan stretched out from his heart and wrapped around his fingers.
Zhou Ji flicked his fingers lightly, and the vine silk was silently absorbed into Lin Sansi's skull. The sound transmission sent a secret message to Lin Xianshi that in a few days Lin Sansi would see the prostitutes who had been framed by him all these years claim their lives. If the officials intervene in this matter, they will say that Lin Sansi's moral conduct is deficient and his crimes are serious. Only by cutting off the root of his evil, abandoning his official position and entering the Tao, can he be freed by practicing for ten years.
Immortal Master Lin glanced at Lin Sansi who was squinting at Zhao Pan'er beside him, and his eyelids twitched. He had heard about Shen Ruzhuo having an affair with the maidservant of the Lin family at the night banquet, and was interrupted by Lin Sansi to demote him from his official position. , the details of which have been roughly inquired and understood.
Now seeing Lin Sansi's obscene and lustful appearance, a trace of pity and awe could not help flashing in Lin Sansi's eyes.
The Huayue Banquet of this night quickly spread throughout the city, and the business of Yong'an Building is also getting better and better.
Expensive food and drinks represent a high commission.
Once the wine sold is linked to the income, many things will start to change.
The kabuki of Qianshan Pavilion and Wanshui Pavilion tried their best to make a profit. At first, only the tiles of Wanshui Pavilion had some kabuki who were slightly scratched. Later, this trend gradually spread to Qianshan Pavilion.
Even if it is not as straightforward as a brothel, it will not introduce drinks with a straight face and no expression, and the guests will turn their faces and leave after a few words.
In addition, Zhao Paner acquiesced to the guests to set up gambling in the restaurant, which attracted a large number of guests.
It's like a performance on the stage in front, and gamblers gather in the back to gamble. Every time Zhao Pan'er inspects and passes by, it's not surprising.
At the beginning, the business of Tongfu Tea House was also affected. However, as time went by, I saw more of the waistless dances in the Western Regions with more fruits, and the novelty passed. After screening, the customer sources of both parties were relatively stable.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the court meeting again. Lin Sansi stood in the front row of the courtiers as usual, and suddenly heard a shrill and vicious roar in his ears. A chill instantly spread from the soles of his feet to the top of the sky, and he froze in place, even his heartbeat All paused.
"Lin Xianggong, Lin Xianggong"
Prime Minister Xiao Qinyan's shout brought Lin Sansi back to the consciousness that was gradually drifting away. Feeling the rapid heartbeat that was about to jump out of his chest, Lin Sansi let out a long breath with a pale face, and comforted himself in a low voice that it was just an auditory hallucination. Turning his head, he saw that beside him was not Xiao Xiang at all, but a dozen or so geisha who were ordered to sink into the pond after being toyed with by him!
"Mr. Lin!"
"Ai Qing!"
Xiao Qinyan originally wanted to ask Lin Sansi about finances, but seeing him slip and fall to the ground pale and frightened, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but as soon as he took a step, he smelled a foul smell blowing towards his face Looking down, Lin Sansi's trouser legs were already wet, and there was a disgusting yellow-white substance protruding from under his clothes. (Note)
The whole hall was in chaos, the officials covered their noses with their sleeves, and ordered the servants to take Lin Sansi to clean, and invited the imperial physician to see him.
It was half a month before Song Yinzhang heard from Lin Sansi again.
In the court, inside and outside the capital, there are all rumors that Lin Sansi's daughter murdered a prostitute, was entangled by wronged souls, and finally cut off the root of her evil, resigned and retired.
During this period of time, Zhao Paner finally found the three thousand banknotes that Ge Zhaodi had collected in a stack of receipts, and called Zhaodi to confirm when she packed up the receipts. Only then did she realize that she had misunderstood Gu Qianfan.
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Zhao Pan'er became nervous, and impatiently went to Gu Qianfan to get back together, but when the Imperial City Secretary found out that Gu Qianfan didn't want to see her at all, at first he thought that Gu Qianfan was angry, but later found out that the government's previous reports, Seeing that it was Xiao Qinyan who impeached her father back then that caused the ruin of her family, she immediately understood why Gu Qianfan dared not see her again.
At night, Zhao Pan'er asked Chen Lian to deliver a letter to Gu Qianfan, and finally waited for him in the half-hidden shop.
Gu Qianfan did not expect that Zhao Pan'er had already found out the truth of the unjust case back then, let alone that the other party knew that the two families had a **** feud, but kept persuading him to let go of the hatred and marry her.
That's a grudge against a broken family!
Gu Qianfan really couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Zhao Paner's father was a loyal minister for the common people, but his father did murder loyal and good ministers.
Her father died for the common people, for righteousness, and for the country, but for Gu Qianfan, she abandoned righteousness, loyalty and filial piety, the hatred of destroying the family, the expectations of her father's old department, and her own persistence
The playbook of Tongfu Tea House that I had read back then came to my mind again, if he and Zhao Paner made an exchange.
He was determined not to forgive a man who killed his whole family.
This is a blood feud that cannot be crossed.
No matter how much you like it, it won’t work!
Looking at Zhao Pan'er in front of him, Gu Qianfan was filled with guilt and shame. Standing in front of the victim as the son of a treacherous official, he didn't know and couldn't make amends.
"Why? Just because your father is Xiao Qinyan, is it the culprit that caused my parents to die and I fell into low status early?" Zhao Pan'er said with moist eyes, "It's just that you can't get over it."
Although I can't figure out how Zhao Pan'er can pass so easily, but how can the hatred of destroying the family be let go as soon as it is said.
Gu Qianfan really didn't want to do such a wicked thing by fooling someone into marrying the son of an enemy, so he could only persuade her to let it go now, but after ten or ten years, he might regret it. Temporary selfish desires should not harm her life just because of a momentary impulse.
What he didn't expect was that Zhao Pan'er was not acting on his own will at all, but really wanted to marry him and become the wife of a fifth-rank Jinshi.
If you don’t know how to make up for the enmity of destroying the family, then help her complete the class jump and restore her former honorable status as an official family member
This is the idea that she has not forgotten her original intention, and has arisen since the very beginning of investing in Ouyang Xu.
For so long, through the world, it has not changed.
On the other side, Zhou Ji almost dropped his jaw when he heard the news that Zhao Paner and Gu Qianfan got back together.
Not to mention, as far as he knows "East Palace", no matter how much Xiaofeng likes Li Gouzi, he still can't let go of the hatred of killing the family and stay with Li Gouzi.
In addition, there is Aunt Qiong Yao. Even though she praises the mistress and demotes the original partner, and the three views of all kinds of love-minded works are shocking, there is still a bottom line in the hatred of the country and the family.
At least in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", the little Yanzi learned the truth, stabbed the emperor in front of the fifth elder brother, and fell into the hatred of the country and the family and couldn't extricate himself.
There are other works, all kinds of things, but all the enmity Zhou Ji can think of, it seems that they can't be easily erased like Zhao Pan'er.
What the two said and what happened that night, only the two of them know.
Song Yinzhang thought that sister Pan'er was deceived by Gu Qianfan, even though she didn't want to owe Zhou Ji any more favors, even though the sisterhood had been estranged a lot, she still asked Zhou Ji to help her find Gu Qianfan to question the reason.
Zhou Ji was also very curious about what happened that day, so he took Song Yinzhang to block Gu Qianfan's carriage in the street and stopped him.
Gu Qianfan knew that Song Yinzhang and Zhao Pan'er had known each other since they were in Jiaofang, and they were very good sisters, so when they met, they guessed the purpose of her coming to find him. He glanced at Zhou Ji next to him and saw that he didn't back away, with a complicated expression on his face He frowned, and took the initiative to admit that he begged Zhao Pan'er to get back together, and Zhao Pan'er agreed to him after exhausting his lips and tongues.
Zhou Ji saw at a glance that Gu Qianfan was protecting Zhao Pan'er's image, and said bluntly, "If that's the case, why did Miss Pan'er take the initiative to find you? Deputy Envoy Gu should stop hiding things and tell the truth."
Gu Qianfan's various rhetoric skills were useless on Zhou Ji's side, so he had to explain what happened that night in the end.
Zhou Ji is next to the old man's face on the subway, why didn't I know you twenty years ago, what you are you, your father is your father, your parents are gone all their lives, and there are still so many years of life as a lowly maidservant, just forget it forget?
Zhou Jigeng himself is already smart enough to fall in love, but he didn’t expect Zhao Pan’er to have no brains at all.
No. Judging from the mind and city government of the "big filial daughter" in the past, the persuasion is clear and the purpose of sophistry is clear.
Will it be possible. She has considered sunk costs, so she insisted on it again and again?
