Ah Chang

Chapter 36

Shiwei is in May, and the sequence belongs to Zhongxia, the old county of Qujiang, and the new city of Furong.

Although this place is called a small town, it is indeed much more prosperous than many city gates in terms of scale and prosperity.Especially when it is summer, Zhuji Ancient Alley, numerous flowers and trees, hibiscus forests, everywhere you can see.

There is a river running from north to south in the town. The river is long and long, like a green belt. When the new moon is full and rises into the night sky, the river is reflected as clear as a white jade plate. Xixi.The four climbed up to the second floor of the restaurant and sat by the riverside, looking around, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the river.

With such a beautiful scenery in front of him, except for Taohua who was immersed in the night scene, the other three people at the table seemed to have different thoughts. Although A Chang followed Taohua's words and looked out the window, more people seemed to be looking for something On the other hand, Fu Qu just lowered her eyes and fiddled with the silk handkerchief in her hand, and smiled back with peach blossoms from time to time, but Keli was more straightforward. She simply sat with her back to the window, on the one hand, she could avoid interacting with peach blossoms, and on the other hand, she could be better. Observe the situation of Fu Qu.

It's not that she's worried that Fu Que's old illness will relapse like last time, it's just that the beautiful scenery outside the window at this moment and the painting boat that hasn't appeared yet and Fu Que have some not-so-pleasant memories, but she doesn't want her to think about them.

"Build a seven-star stove, cook three rivers in a copper pot. Set up a table for the Eight Immortals, and entertain the sixteen parties. All the guests come, and it all depends on the mouth. When we meet, we smile, and don't think about it afterwards..."

Before the boat parade started, a storyteller had already started talking about books on the first floor of the restaurant. Tao Hua excitedly pulled A Chang and said that he would go down to have a look, but Li wished that this troublesome little ghost would leave sooner, so that he could finally be clean and peaceful. Fuyu is alone.

Not long after Tao Hua and A Chang left, melodious music came from the river, it should be a painting boat patrolling, but Li is actually a lively person, but at this moment she didn't even turn her head to look at it, and even moved away. He moved his chair, trying to block the music with his body.

"I am okay."

Fu Que knew that Keli was worried for her, so she smiled to comfort her, but Keli, who has always been casual, was as stubborn as a peach blossom at this moment, she just straightened her back on the chair, as if she didn't even want to relax Take a sip, for fear that if you slack off, those bad memories will hurt Fu Que like stitches.

"It's Bai Yiqing."

Fu Qu stood up quietly at this time, and left a word in Keli's ear while brushing her body, Keli hurriedly followed to the window with concern, the painting boat had indeed arrived, and many onlookers gathered bustlingly on the shore.This time the scene of deja vu came into my eyes, compared with Keli's nervousness, Fu Que seemed much calmer.

"The song hasn't been changed yet."

Fu Que gathered her hair blown by the wind, turned her eyes to Keli and smiled softly, her delicate eyebrows were like hibiscus blooming in the night, through those eyes, Keli's thoughts sank back, she saw what was hidden in this painting. There was another face under the stunning face, that one was equally glamorous, and made people sink at first glance.

"Take a step to make a tree white, a bridge to light rain and an umbrella to open..."

The singing from the boat gradually intertwined with that of five years ago, and the images in front of my eyes began to overlap indistinctly. The same night, the same riverside, the same golden boat, the same evening breeze, the flowers swayed in the shadow of the moon, and the autumn wind Cutting the rhombus window, the difference is the woman standing on the painting boat.

But when she first entered Middle Earth at that time, everything here was new and mysterious to her. She searched for the singing and squeezed to the shore, and after just one glance, she could never forget it.The gorgeous clothes are fluttering, the mist is dragging lightly, the temples are cloudy, and the lips are smiling. The woman holding a pipa and covering her face with a veil is like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror.

In half of the sky, there was a light rain, and the river surface was filled with misty moisture. Looking through the rain, the beauty was like a dream, like a fairy in a painting.

The drizzle did not disperse the crowd, but instead made them more enthusiastic. The woman went to the side of the boat to interact with the crowd, but she was pulled by someone's hand and fell into the river. There were two sounds of falling into the water among the noisy voices. The second tone is separable.

Keli, who was born in the desert, was not good at water, and he didn't think too much about it. Fortunately, the people on the shore helped pull them up.After the woman was rescued ashore, she was unconscious due to choking water. Ke Li unbuttoned the woman's clothes, leaned down without the slightest hesitation, and made another amazing move under the watchful eyes of everyone.

When the lips parted for the fifth time, the woman finally reacted, and woke up after coughing up a few mouthfuls of river water, while the onlookers seemed to be still immersed in the eclectic scene of the two breathing with each other just now.

It took a long time for someone to exclaim in surprise, followed by endless clapping and praise.

The woman looked a little shy in a mess, she simply thanked Keli

Later, I invited her to meet at Qinyue Tower some other day. There was a beauty who invited Keli, so he would not refuse. The two exchanged names as acquaintances. On the way back, Keli kept chanting that name, Wenxiang, Nephrite Wen Xiang, this name is really as straightforward as it sounds.

Wen Xiang is the top brand of Qinyuelou, Qinyuelou is a brothel, and brothel is a place where men and women love each other.

These are all known after Keli.

When we met for the second time, Wen Xiang said that she had already noticed Keli that night. The woman standing at the front of the crowd on the shore was dressed in plain white clothes, her wind fluttered, and her eyes were clear and intoxicated. She said that she remembered Keli's eyes, which were pure like she had never seen before.

Wen Xiang sang the song "Bai Yiqing" for Keli again, just the two of them, without any noise, Keli sat quietly and listened, she looked at the stunning beauty in front of her, raised her hand, lowered her eyes, and plucked the strings with each breath They are full of amorous feelings, plucking the strings and plucking her heart.

The candlelight was dim, and the night was getting darker, but Keli's eyes also followed the night. She felt that she was extremely lucky. She had met such a beautiful woman not long after she first came to Middle-earth. She even wanted to reach out and touch her. Does such a person who makes her in a trance really exist?

But since that night, she often ran to Qinyuelou with nothing to do, and she pretended to be a man when Qinyuelou didn't pick up female customers, and gradually realized that being the number one brothel was not just as simple as just playing the piano and singing.Wen Xiang said that it was her life, and the life of a girl in a brothel was as thin as paper money, and it was just for the rich to squander, but Li was afraid that one day she would never see her again, so she wanted to take her away.

Wen Xiang said that it would take a lot of money, and she still couldn't save enough, but Ke Li only said to let her wait for her.But only three days later, when we met again, Wen Xiang's fate was hanging by a thread, and his face was completely changed.

The girls in Qin Yuelou said that the bustard didn't believe that Keli could give Wen Xiang the money to redeem her body, so they rushed to Keli and sold Wen Xiang to a rich master. Lustful as fate, Wen Xiang refused and scratched the face of the old man. In order to please the old man, the bustard ordered someone to pour Wen Xiang all over with molten iron.

Ke Li didn't say a word, she just left the agreed money and took Wen Xiang away. She took Wen Xiang to Jianshui Pavilion, and closed the door for three days and three nights. No one knew what happened in Ke Li's room. What, I only know that when I saw the unrecognizable woman who was poured with molten iron, she had changed her appearance.

At the end of spring and summer solstice, the warmth and fragrance are no longer there, and the flowers are born again.

Not long after, a fire broke out in Qinyue Building, and the old bustard died in the fire. The renovated Qinyue Building was renamed Baihua Building, and the owner and some girls were changed. The only song "Bai Yi Qing" that has been handed down

.

As for Wen Xiang, it became a tacitly accepted taboo in Baihualou, which was no longer mentioned by people.

Fu Que said that in order to repay the kindness of the owner of Jianshui Pavilion for taking him in, she would like to transform into her appearance and be her shadow.

"As a shadow, you have to die for others."

"Fu Que has no long possessions. The pavilion master is your benefactor who can leave you, and now it is mine. If I can die for our benefactor, it will be counted as my repayment of your kindness. This is also good."

--------

"A dream of yellow beams, a pot of wine, a white dress and a lifetime of tailoring."

At the end of the song, the women on the boat walked to the eaves of the boat, interacting with the crowd of onlookers just like the flowers in the past, only this time there was no sudden drizzle, and there was no beauty in white standing on the shore.

"If it was a man who fell into the water back then, would you have gone to rescue him without hesitation?"

Keli propped her chin up and raised the corners of her lips, "Yes," she said.
