The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 280
After a while, the food and wine began to be served in the pavilion, all of which were tasty, delicious, and delicious. Zhao Tang ordered a bit too much, and the table in front of him was filled with flowers.

There are more than a dozen kinds of wine, fruit wine of various colors, Huadiao Zhuangyuan red, and shochu of different strengths. In order not to mix the taste, there are hundreds of cups for drinking.

Su Shi first took a Yangguan jade cup, cleaned the rim, and filled a glass of Western Region wine for Zhao Tong.

He and Huang Gu didn't know why Zhao Tun came to Fanlou suddenly, his lord is not a fun person, he must have something to do here, but Zhao Tun didn't say anything, he and the two couldn't ask, they could only wait for orders.

Zhao Tun said expressionlessly, "Forget about your identity tonight and have fun."

The two were even a little puzzled when they heard the words, they all poured the wine in front of their house, Huang Gu poured a cup of Xinghuafen, Su Shi filled a large cup of plum wine and put it on the table.

At this time, Yingying and Yanyan sounded outside the Yage, Mei Niang made a complaint at the door of the pavilion, and brought in ten women.

They are all beautiful girls in refreshing gauze skirts, red pockets looming, willow brows and almond eyes, cherry lips and peach cheeks.

Mei Niang walked in the front gracefully, and after Wanfu, she began to introduce each girl's name and specialty. Some danced gracefully, some had a beautiful singing voice, some were good at silk, bamboo, flute and flute, and some could hold a thousand glasses of wine without getting drunk.

Zhao Tang looked at these women, pointed at one of the girls with a white face, raised his chin towards Huang Gu, and the girl immediately walked over with a smile on her lips.

Then he looked at another person with bright eyebrows and eyes, and pointed to Su Shi, and this one went too.

Huang Gu and Huang Gu didn't dare to speak at the moment, so they held their breaths, pretending to be old-fashioned, laughing, but their hearts were full of deer.

The rest of the women began to take their positions, and the Accord originally accommodated the piano table, flute table, and song and dance performances, and those who were not selected to accompany the wine had to perform to add to the fun.

At this time, Zhao Tun said "reward".

Immediately outside the door came a guard, took out silver and rewarded each with a big ingot, Mei Niang and all the other girls thanked each other, and just about to start playing and dancing, Zhao Tuo suddenly said: "Zhao Yuannu, can you call me?"

Mei Niang froze immediately when she heard the words, and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Return to my son, I went to that pavilion just now, and whispered a few words to Mrs. Zhao, but Mrs. Zhao wants to come to offer wine to you, but the guests in the pavilion are just having fun. I'm afraid I'll offend the guests over there by coming here now, so I'll go back to my slave's house after a while, and please forgive me, young master."

Zhao Tang glanced at her, this kind of rhetoric is commonly used in this kind of place, this Mei Niang said it familiarly, without the slightest jerky, it seems that she has said a lot, but it seems that she didn't say anything.

He said indifferently: "I asked you to ask someone to come here to accompany you. It's not just to have a toast at some free time!"

Huang Gu moved his body to the side, trying to stay away from the girl with a small face, and then said: "You obviously agreed just now, but you didn't bring anyone with you, are you playing tricks on me?"

Mei Niang immediately showed a grievance expression on her face, the current incident is also common in Fanlou, not to mention hundreds of incidents in the past year, but there are dozens of incidents, all of which are to fight for some women.

But it is rare to compete for the oiran like this. After all, not to mention the high status of the oiran, even the hospitality depends on the status. If it is just some nouveau riche and local rich people, it is impossible to go to Gongyue to sing.

As for accompanying wine, that's overthinking.

Unless you spend a lot of money, you won't have a drink with you if you don't have a lot of money and a lot of money.

Even if all these have been done, but the language is rude, there is not much knowledge, and the poetry, music and music are not well understood, so they will not drink.

These are still the previous net worth, since the one who hired Li Shishi to prevent others from touching her, the price of this girl in the fan building has become higher and higher.

There are two oirans in Fanlou, Li Shishi and Zhao Yuannu.

Under the oiran, there are ten more famous flowers. Now because of that one, even the famous flowers are different from the past, and their value has risen with each passing day.

That person is naturally the emperor of Song Dynasty, the official family of Zhao.

The affair between Zhao Guan's family and Huakui Li Shishi is not a secret in Tokyo, even ordinary people in the city have heard of it.

Zhao Yuannu is an oiran with the same reputation as Li Shishi. Although he has not won the holy family, he doesn't show up easily. If it weren't for the fact that there are distinguished guests in the pavilion over there today, and they are full of money, they will not end up.

Now, Mei Niang knows how to deal with such a situation, not to mention the actual encounter, she has practiced it countless times in private.

But those are probably the means to deal with ordinary drinkers, this mouth is about to come over, at least after Zhao Guan's family visited Fanlou, it never happened again.

She also has a long-standing eye, secretly observed Zhao Tun's temperament and words, and guessed that the other party was of extraordinary background, but the other two were also full of momentum, they were not like ordinary rich sons, and she was more sure of the Ya Nei that she thought before.

In particular, Zhao Tun had a good-looking appearance. She was sure that Zhao Yuannu would like him when he saw him. After all, who wouldn't like such a handsome and wealthy young man?

If you like it, it's okay to meet up.

Doing her job is no different than doing business on the street. It requires a lot of weight, no deception, and reputation first.

What she should do in this job is to have both sides, to cover every aspect, to build plank roads openly, and to cross old warehouses secretly.

Under the all-encompassing appearance, one must not only please the guests, but also please the wife, so that he can enjoy himself in the building and enjoy himself like a fish in water.

If you meet unsightly guests, you will naturally have an unsightly way to deal with them. If you meet someone you like or like, then there is another way.

Mei Niang thought to herself, this young man wants to see Zhao Yuannu, and Zhao Yuannu must like such a young man, so why not... find a way to let Mrs. Zhao come over and take a sneak peek?
Although the oiran is valuable, it is not up to her to decide whether to toast or not, and the building will not be entangled in such side matters.

Although the young man said that he didn't want to toast, he just wanted to be with him, but it was just a young man's talk, to make up for himself, how could he really keep Mrs. Zhao?
If she didn't pay attention, these people are really the yamen of some prefecture, and they probably don't know about Fanlou's affairs. Zhao Guan's family often comes and goes, how can they cause trouble here?
Thinking of this, Mei Niang secretly made up her mind.

It's not that she is bold and reckless and wants to make decisions without authorization for the benefit of favors. In fact, this kind of thing is very common in Fanlou, even Yichenglou, Changqinglou, Rendian and other places with 72 main stores.

She presides over the affairs in the pavilion, so she is naturally familiar with Zhao Yuannu, and it's okay to tell him that even if the other party doesn't want to look at him, at least she knows that she cares about the other party, and she doesn't just think about how many benefits she has collected here.

Oiran ladies are extremely intelligent, not that stupid.

Mei Niang said: "Young master, I will go to that pavilion now to see if Mrs. Zhao can accommodate me to come over."

Zhao Tong squinted his eyes and said: "If you come, I will reward you very much, but you can't leave."

Mei Niang couldn't take it seriously, she glanced at Zhao Tun's handsome face, and said: "My lord, I'm joking, it's hard to say whether you can invite me here, wait for my slave to go and try."

Zhao Tang watched her go out, silently picked up the wine in front of him, and drank it down in one gulp.

Mei Niang went out of the pavilion, turned a corner, and walked dozens of steps to another place.

It is also an accordion, but the inside is more open in front of the door, the sound of silk and bamboo is constant, and a woman is singing lyrics, which is Qian Xisheng's magnolia flower.

The woman's voice is as delicate as a yellow oriole, but her words are straight and round, and she sings the breath of spring in the words as if they were in the scene, even Mei Niang secretly shouted "Hello" outside.

The door of the Nuan Pavilion opened a crack, and Mei Niang looked in through the gap, and saw seven or eight people sitting on the seats inside.

Except for a white and fat middle-aged man and a black-bearded middle-aged man, the others are all young masters. The white and fat middle-aged man and the black-bearded middle-aged man are the hosts and entertain those sons.

Mei Niang has already noticed that these two are officials, but their grades should not be very high. After watching them a few times, they are all flattering and flattering to those young masters.

Those young masters should be in the yamen, and my family's official position is not low, otherwise I wouldn't be so flattered by the two officials.

Zhao Yuannu only sang songs in this pavilion, and did not accompany the wine. Obviously, although the two middle-aged hosts spent a lot of money, it was far from enough for Zhao Yuannu to get down to accompany the wine.

And although the young masters have this intention, they are not willing to spend a lot of money on their own. After all, if someone is in charge, wouldn't it be a big deal for them to spend more money?
Mei Niang thought to herself, Zhao Tun over there was obviously richer than these two middle-aged men, so she was a little biased, but she could only do this one step, as for Zhao Yuannu who couldn't pass over and take a look, then she would have to See what Zhao Yuannu means.

After she listened to a song outside the door, Zhao Yuannu rested, the musicians started to play, and all the performers danced. Only then did they knock on the pavilion door a few times.

But at the moment the music and dance was loud, and the people inside obviously didn't hear it, so she opened the door a little wider, and it happened that Zhao Yuannu was looking over here and made a gesture.

Being able to take the position of Oiran, Zhao Yuannu is naturally smart and smart. After seeing the gesture, he frowned slightly, knowing that this must be a private matter, otherwise he would come in and talk directly.

Originally, she didn't want to talk to her, but after all, she was still at the venue, and the guests spent a lot of money to invite her, so it's not good to leave without authorization.

But because of the weather, the Accord was too stuffy, and she was even more bored looking at the two officials, so she wondered if it would be better to go out and say a few words.

She only knew that the two middle-aged people were officials after listening to the other party's conversation, but she didn't understand the grades. of.

Although the guests in this pavilion gave the example silver, it was not generous and there was no extra reward. She was unavoidably unhappy, and when she thought of Mr. Li, her heart felt as if a stone was blocked.

Zhao Yuannu knew that the official family came again tonight. Ever since the high-ranking Xianggong brought the official family to Fanlou that year, the official family has taken over Li Shishi, and no one else is allowed to touch him. All the fan towers are revolving around her.

It would be a lie to say that she is not jealous. After all, no matter how she looks, she only learns singing and dancing. She is no worse than the other in everything, but why is she not so lucky?
Now everyone in the market calls Li Shishi Master Li, which is equivalent to increasing her status, but she is still the Huakui of Fan Lou, no matter where she says it, she is a few ranks lower.

I heard rumors from the people below that when the official family first came to play, they didn't see her because of their surname.

Officials going out of the palace to visit Fanlou is something that has been criticized, and if they order the oiran to make friends, it will damage their reputation.

But the official's romanticism naturally doesn't care about these worldly views. Even if it is discussed outside, it is not good for the name, but adding the title of "Merry Emperor" at the end can avoid a lot of criticism.

But if this oiran's surname is Zhao again, it will be different.

People with the same surname marry each other, and they will not be born in the same family.

Marriage with the same surname is not only a loss of reputation, but also involves important matters of ethics, especially for the royal family.

Zhao Yuannu naturally knew this.

But even if the officials point her out, she won't be accepted into the palace, so how can there be no marriage with the same surname?
Even Li Shishi has received benefactors with the same surname before, at most it can be regarded as a blind date with the same surname.

Blind date with the same surname, so what? They have different backgrounds, have no blood relationship, and don't marry into the family.

But the official family is a sensible person, knowing that even if it is a blind date with the same surname, others can do it but he can't.

There is only one official family in the world, and everyone is staring at her. Even if she is such a fan Lou Huakui, if others want to get close to her, the official family will have to think twice.

What's more, she is not the only oiran, so why would the officials make herself feel uncomfortable?

After Zhao Yuannu thought about this, he could only complain about his fate. Looking at the people in the Accord, his heart became more and more depressed.

So after thinking about it, she got up slowly, no matter what happened to Mei Niang, or if it was fake, she had to go out to take a breath.

Arriving at the front desk, Zhao Yuannu gave a little blessing, and said: "Young masters, my family has been rude, and there are some trivial matters in the pavilion. Please ask Rong's family to go out for a while."

The two middle-aged men immediately showed displeasure, but even though they were entertaining guests, they still wanted to see the faces of those yamen, so they looked aside.

The young masters looked at each other when they heard the words, and one of them smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, it's okay to go, but hurry up, I'm still waiting for the lady's Rumeng order."

Zhao Yuannu smiled lightly and said, "Yuannu will come as soon as he goes, thank you for your understanding, young master."

After she finished speaking, she slightly twisted her waist, and walked out with lotus steps.

After leaving the pavilion, the black-bearded middle-aged man showed displeasure on his face, and said to Mr. Hairpin: "Little Xianggong, this Zhao Yuannu is a bit too ignorant of flattery, he is not a salesman, where did he come from such a show?" , actually said to leave."

The fat middle-aged man next to him also said: "That's true. Since I came in, I have been carrying it everywhere, and I don't want to accompany the wine or serve me. I just sing a few Qing songs. This is too disrespectful to the young man. gone."

Mr. Hairpin shook his head and said with a smile: "You two have been out of town for a long time, and you are not in Beijing. You don't know much about the wind and moon in Tokyo City. This Fanlou is not comparable to other restaurants now."

The middle-aged man with black beard wondered: "Little Xianggong, what do you mean by this?"

Mr. Hairpin took a cup of wine and drank it slowly, and said: "Although Fanlou was originally the number one restaurant in the main restaurant, it was only ranked first, and it couldn't beat other restaurants. The status and value are quite different.”

The fat middle-aged man heard the words and said in a low voice: "Little Master, are the rumors outside true?"

Before Mr. Hairpin could speak, a young man in a green robe next to him waved his fan and said, "Of course it's true. After the officials favored Mr. Li, they came here often. This Fan Tower has been favored by the emperor. How can other places compared to?"

The middle-aged Heibeu shrank his neck and said: "The lower officials heard about this in other places, and thought it was just some street people talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Mr. Hairpin took a look at him and said, "The official family is suave and suave, so I'm not afraid that such things will spread."

The fat middle-aged man said: "So, isn't Master Li famous?"

The green-robed young man next to him said: "That's not the case. Zhao Yuannu was originally as famous as Li Shishi, and the official family only favored Li Shishi. Zhao Yuannu must be upset, but who made her have the same surname as the official family."

The middle-aged Heixu nodded: "So that's the case. I said why Zhao Yuannu is so arrogant. It turns out that he was comparing himself with Li Shishi in his heart."

The hairpin youth said: "Originally, the price is the same, and the appearance is not inferior, but because of the official affairs, the distance has been separated. Although it is hard to compare, but the value will increase, and the temperament must be raised. Makes sense."

The middle-aged Baipang said: "Young Master's words are very true, it's normal to think so arrogantly."

The young man in the green robe said: "Actually, the two adults have made a mistake today. Originally, Zhao Yuannu didn't have the reason to end up with the regular money. He wanted more rewards. If there are few customers in Fanlou tonight, he can invite you to move. Otherwise, don't mention any singing and drinking, I'm afraid we won't even be able to see each other in person."

The middle-aged Heixu nodded repeatedly when he heard the words: "Young Master, what you said is that the lower officials have little knowledge."

The green-robed youth said: "Both of you are sent out to the outskirts, I don't know what's going on here is also normal."

Mr. Hairpin Hua said with a smile: "Actually, it's good to be a little arrogant, otherwise it would be boring to cater to everyone, but I like to see this kind of holding and carrying, so that it has a taste."

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter.

Zhao Yuannu went out of the pavilion, Mei Niang hurriedly invited her to the side, and then talked about the previous incident, which was a bit exaggerated, implying that Zhao Tun's people are not only stronger than here, but they are also more generous. .

Zhao Yuannu said softly: "Why didn't you come earlier, but now it's too late."

Mei Niang said: "Young lady, you might as well go and have a look outside the pavilion, and if you agree, then exchange a few words of pleasantries, make a good relationship, turn around and leave if you don't agree."

Zhao Yuannu was depressed here, nodded slightly after thinking for a while, and then followed Mei Niang to the pavilion over there.

Arriving in front of the Yage Pavilion where Zhao Tama was, Zhao Yuannu looked in along the pavilion door, his eyes fell on Zhao Tama involuntarily, and then he was stunned.
