Chapter 60 Yicuige Meal, Fragrant
Yi Cui Pavilion is said to be one of the best brothel in the imperial capital. Entering the courtyard, there is a spacious courtyard, and in the middle of the yard is a small lotus pond. At this time, in late autumn, all kinds of water lilies are blooming on the surface of the pool, surrounded by all kinds of flowers around the lotus pond, and the golden osmanthus and moon season rhododendrons... compete to open. The air is filled with a strong fragrance of flowers mixed with the fragrance of powder. From time to time, a young girl in red and green passes by, as if she is in the sea of flowers.
In the middle of the lotus pond is a stone bridge with a picture of a white jade carved lady. The lady on the stone bridge either stands or lies down, gently unraveling the clothes, revealing most of the snowy muscles, seductive posture, charming eyes like silk, and everywhere reveals the prosperity of the Cui Pavilion.
As soon as she got on the stone bridge, a 40-year-old woman dressed in flowers came face with a slender waist and smiled flattery. After seeing the clear sound around the green spirit, her face collapsed and she was about to scold her, but she was pulled aside by the green spirit, shook the woman's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, I know this time. Before the time to be a guest, it was a bad rule for my daughter to let the prince in, but I also asked my mother to see that my daughter really likes this prince. Today, in order to fulfill her daughter's wishes, let's make an exception!"
The old lady leaning on the Cui Pavilion, Jiang's mother, has seen countless people. It's a man or a woman. She can see at a glance that the voiceless voice can escape her eyes of a woman dressed as a man. I don't understand why the girl Lvling decided that the other party was a man, and now it's past noon. It's time to go to go to the customer. What kind of medicine is this green spirit girl selling in the gourd?
With dark doubts, Green Spirit secretly pinched her arm and squeezed her eyes again. Although the green spirit has not been treated well by guests recently, he is Jiang's mother's right-hand man. He has deceived many little girls into coming in for Jiang's mother's Cui Pavilion. Thinking of this, Jiang's mother knew Lu Ling's thoughts and immediately grinned, "Although this is not in compliance, isn't the rules set by people? Who said you are your mother's daughter? Mom also hopes that you can all have a good home. Since you like it, your mother has broken this case today. You should take good care of this son. , just say what you need!" In the gap of speaking, I looked up and down the voiceless sound. Although the voice was dressed as a man, it had not been powdered, and there was aura in its beautiful appearance. It was really a piece of pure jade. While praising in his heart, he didn't forget to ask Green Ling in a low voice, "Is it reliable?"
Lv Ling held Jiang's mother's hand tightly and handed a look. Seeing that Jiang's mother was relieved, he turned to Qingyin's side, took Qingyin's arm affectionately, and bent down to bless her: "My daughter, thank you for your mother's success. Please also ask the cook to prepare a few dishes for me and the prince, and then scald a pot of 'good' Osmanthus wine!"
"Good, good! Don't worry, mom will send someone to prepare!" After Jiang's mother finished speaking, she gave up to one side. Green Spirit thanked and took Qingyin to her room upstairs.
As soon as the two left, Hongxia walked to Jiang's mother and snorted, "Mom, Lvling is like this now. You don't care about it. In this daytime, you dare to go to the street to solicit customers. Do you still want the first reputation in our imperial capital? Do you let her lose the value of our sisters like this?"
"If you have the ability, you can also go to the street!" Jiang's mother scolded Hongxia disapprovingly, turned her head and touched her temples, looked at the back of the green spirit and clear sound, and walked quickly to the kitchen with a smile.
The Hongxia was originally relied on by Jiang's mother, but since the girl Green Spirit came and brought a few little girls in to Jiang's mother, her status has plummeted. Not only was her mother driven to the third floor from the embroidery room on the fourth floor, but her value also fell again and again. All this was on the head of the green spirit. She usually didn't like her. Now that such a thing happened again, she was even more angry. The green spirit's hateful teeth are itching.
There are four floors in the Yicui Pavilion. In the middle of the ground floor is a stage with red sand mantles and a big red carpet, which looks like a wedding hall. Around the stage, there were round wooden tables with large red tablecloths covered with golden threads. Outside the simple table were small compartments separated by Duobao Pavilion, and there were beaded curtains hanging at the door. Behind the stage facing the gate, there is a wide staircase that extends directly to the second floor and winding up behind the corridor.
The whole building is a zigzag structure.
The second floor is an exquisitely decorated elegant room for guests and ladies to eat and have fun.
The third and fourth floors are the girls' embroidery rooms, that is, the place to receive guests. Ordinary guests will only arrange meals on the second floor. Only guests with special needs or guests who attach great importance to them can enter the embroidery room of Ji Niang. According to the value and status of Ji Niang, the higher she lives, the more expensive she will naturally be.
Ling's room is on the fourth floor. Although it is not the most noble position, it occupies the first room of the western wing. It can be imagined that in the pavilion, its status is not low. Pushing the door and entering, the furnishings of the room are like the name of a green spirit. The eyes are full of deep and light green, which makes people's eyes bright, as if they are in the mountains and fields with grass and flowers.
Entering the room, Lv Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "Just now, thanks to the help of the prince, I didn't lose face."
"Since I have helped, I can go now!" The deep and light green of the room gave people a sense of freshness at the beginning, but after staying for a long time, the strong fragrance of fat and powder inside made Qingyin feel very stuffy and eager to leave immediately.
Seeing that Qingyin was leaving, the green spirit hurriedly blocked the door: "Sir, you just came in and went out. Didn't the sisters laugh at me more if they didn't know it, saying that I didn't have the ability to keep the prince? It's time for dinner. The slave family just asked my mother to prepare wine and dishes. The prince doesn't know that our Yicui Pavilion is not only famous for all the beautiful girls, but also the dishes of our Cuige. I dare not say that it is comparable to the palace, but the imperial capital can't find a place to have me. Such excellent chefs! Many princes and nobles in the city don't remember. Therefore, only by relying on the Cui Pavilion can it last for a long time in the imperial capital! Prince, just stay and taste it!"
Qingyin only arrived at the imperial capital in the morning, but only ate a bowl of big meat noodles and wandered around the imperial capital. Now he is really hungry. Listening to the green spirit praise the food of Yi Cui Pavilion, Qingyin's stomach cooed. He covered his stomach and smiled shyly.
The green spirit's crisp laughter sounded: "Look, isn't the prince hungry? Please wait here for a moment, and the slave family will urge the wine and vegetables.
Regardless of the Qingyin agreed or not, he pushed the Qingyin to the table, pressed it on the stool, turned around and went out of the door, and tightened the door panel.
When he went out of the door, Green Spirit restrained his smile, turned his face and glanced at the shaking figure behind the screen door, and said secretly in his heart, 'Lin Yi, you fell into my hands today. If you are unlucky, let us have revenge, complain, and solve everything in the past today'!
At this time, Jiang's mother personally brought a tray containing wine and vegetables and came up with her skirt. Lv Ling hurriedly stretched out his hand to his lips and walked briskly to meet him. He took Jiang's mother to the corner of the corridor, glancing at the closed door of the room, and said in a low voice, "Mom, this is a young child. You can also look at it. Seeing that, it looks a little better than Hongxia, but you can't miss it!"
"You know who she is. I think she looks good. In case she is a lady from a large family who pretends to be a man, and her family comes to her, will we be in trouble?" Jiang's mother has been doing this business for so many years, and naturally knows how to avoid disaster for herself. It's not that she doesn't want a young and beautiful girl, but she's afraid that she will get into a bad family. At that time, it won't be a good deal if she puts in the Yicui Pavilion, which she has painstakingly managed for so many years. Therefore, when receiving people, on the one hand, they have to be voluntary, and on the other hand, their parents are sold in black and white. No matter how bad it is, it should be a worry-free one.
"Mom, can't you believe me? When did I make trouble for you in this matter? Luling explained, "Mom, don't worry, the girl inside, not to mention that no one will support her. She doesn't even know who she is now!"
"Oh? How to say this?" That girl won't be stupid, will she? But it didn't look like that just now, didn't it? When Green Spirit said that, he knew the identity of the person inside.
"To tell you the truth, that she is a sister in my old house. Today, I was shocked to see her. Later, she didn't even know me. I guessed what happened, so mom, can you say that a girl who she is?"
"That's good to say! Very good!" Jiang's mother smiled, pinched the green spirit's face, and handed the tray in her hand to the green spirit: "This matter has been done for my mother. Mom has a reward!"
