With the guidance, Beili was quite easy to find. Li Yuanying walked with Gao Yang and the others for a while, and suddenly his eyes became clear.
The facade of this place is much more refined than that of West Market. The plaques hanging at the door seem to be made by famous masters.
Maybe it's because most of the people living here are Beijing officials and scholars, and they don't have time to visit during the day, and the streets are far less lively than the West Market.
When Li Yuanying approached and listened, he could hear a lot of silk and bamboo music. These songs were soft, very different from what his imperial brother liked to listen to, but similar to what his emperor father liked to listen to before he was alive.
It seems that this is a place to listen to music! Li Yuanying misses it quite a lot, swaggeringly leading Xincheng and Sizi to look left and right, to see which store is the biggest and best, and he will go to the biggest and best one!
There were some young girls leaning against the windows along the street, and when they saw a half-grown boy leading a few little girls into Beili from a distance, they opened the windows more curiously, and looked out with a sly smile.
Li Yuanying and the others were used to attracting attention, so they didn't care about these gazes. On the contrary, Wei Shu and the accompanying guards felt something was wrong.
Especially the accompanying guards, they are all adults, they must have certain needs, even those who have never been to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion must have heard of it, how can a bunch of men chat together without bringing some Meaty
Look at this posture, I'm afraid this place is not for children!
Gao Yang's guards are the ones who get scolded the most, they feel bad when they see those girls leaning on the window, so they push someone forward to ask Gao Yang: "Princess, I'm afraid I can't go to this place."
Gao Yang is not one to listen to persuasion, he turned his head to look at the guard, and asked unhappily: "Why can't we go? We found it with great difficulty!"
Facing Gao Yang's dark eyes, the accompanying guards were at a loss for words, they didn't know how to explain to Gao Yang and the others.
If it is really that kind of place, how can the princess and the others go there? But these little nobles in front of them obviously don't understand anything, even the oldest King Teng and Princess Chengyang are only ten years old!
The guard who was pushed out to speak said bravely, "This is a place for men to listen to the music and watch the dance. It's better for girls not to go."
Gao Yang dislikes the words "Boys are fine, but girls are not". She lost her mother since she was a child and grew up wild in the palace. The devil is congenial.
Gao Yang said: "What music girls can't listen to, and what dance girls can't watch? There is absolutely no reason for this, I just want to go!"
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand to make the guards retreat, and urged Li Yuanying to quickly pick a good place. She was going to see what was so special about the singing and dancing that girls couldn't watch!
Li Yuanying has always been not afraid of big things, only small things. Hearing what Gao Yang said, he immediately pointed to a brightly decorated place in front of him and said: "That store is not bad, it's big enough and stylish enough, let's go there and have a look."
Gao Yang happily agreed.
Wei Shu and the others naturally followed Li Yuanying closely, looking at everything around them curiously. Sizi sniffed and said to Li Yuanying, "It smells delicious here."
Li Yuanying sniffed at the words, nodded and said, "It's very fragrant." He didn't think it was any surprise, no matter it was Da'an Palace or Taiji Palace, he grew up in a pile of incense powder.
Li Yuanying led the five little lolitas into the door of that "big shop", and someone greeted them immediately.
The other party was Su Erniang, the bustard of the Bancui Building, who was in her forties and still charming. She looked at Li Yuanying curiously, wondering how these little dolls who looked like aristocrats came to Beili.
Seeing that the identities of Li Yuanying and the others were unusual, Su Erniang asked cautiously: "What is Mr. Xiao Lang here for?"
Could it be that he came to find his father? Such absurd things are not unheard of, Su Erniang has opened this Wancui Building for so many years, she has really seen the main wife bring the children to arrest people! It's just that a few little dolls came here together, she really hasn't seen it before.
Li Yuanying doesn't feel restrained wherever he goes, and although he hasn't been outside much, he acts as a matter of course: "Of course I'm here to play. If you have any interesting things in this place, tell us." He remembered the time when the Supreme Emperor was alive. I had a vague impression of the matter, but I vaguely remembered that the Emperor Taishang liked the pipa, so he pretended to understand and said, "Find some people who can play the pipa and let me listen to it, and dancers too."
Li Yuanying pretended to be right. Although Beili is a place where prostitutes from the city gather, they don't go straight to the business of flesh and blood. Most of them are new scholars or high-ranking officials. The spoiled matter of forcible grabbing.
Listening to Li Yuanying's instructions, she knew the way very well, although Su Erniang was surprised, she still accepted the money that Li Yuanying asked someone to hand over and told the girls below to prepare.
There are some things that are better for safety if they are not found out. She accepted the money like ordinary guests. If the identities of these children were really unusual, they would not have to go to the Bancui Building. After all, this is just an open door for business.
On the contrary, if you don't charge money or don't receive reception, you will get into trouble if you make a fuss!
The maidservants on the left and right looked at Li Yuanying and the others curiously. Seeing that Erniang Su had gone to order the girls to prepare, she warmly stepped forward to guide them and lead them to the best and most spacious room on the second floor.
As soon as Li Yuanying led Gao Yang and the others to sit away, several young women filed in and served them exquisite snacks and fruits.
The clothes of these women are different from the women in the palace. They all show their chests and waists, and they show a graceful figure when they are pitched. Although their appearance is not top-notch, they are young and pretty.
Wei Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she realized that this place is obviously for listening to music and watching dances. This is probably the "Land of Wind and Moon" written in the book!
Although Wei Shu often travels in men's clothes, she doesn't think she can come to such a place.
She looked at Li Yuanying who was on the side.
Li Yuanying didn't even look at those women, but looked at the bowl of green tea in front of him with interest for a while, then turned to them and said: "I drank this when I was young, and it was offered to my father by a man from the south. Yes, I ate a lot of barbecue at the time, and drinking this was quite satisfying. But my father didn’t like it, so no one cooked it afterwards, and I didn’t expect to meet you here!”
Wei Shu: "..."
Well, it looks like these girls are dressed in white.
Li Yuanying, Wei Shu and the others mentioned it casually, but the women around them were shocked when they heard it.
Wancui Building will also receive many high-ranking officials and nobles, but the royal people usually come here in a secretive way, and they will never come here like Li Yuanying who not only brings a few little girls, but also mentions "Father Emperor" carelessly.
Some people have quietly left to find Erniang Su.
Su Erniang had been paying attention to the situation here, and after hearing this, her heart was raised in her throat.
This is really attracting amazing people!
Right now, she can only hope that after entertaining these invaluable guests, she will send them away smoothly, without making any big noises!
"I'll go play the pipa for them." The girl who was listening to them said.
The girl's name is Su Qiniang, she was adopted by Su Erniang since she was a child, she is about thirteen or fourteen years old, but she has learned the pipa for eight years, she is the most talented in the building, and she has the least appearance, and is well known among the North. "One face is worth a thousand dollars" said.
Su Erniang knew that Qiniang had always been stubborn, even in this Wancui building, she never thought about clinging to any powerful family, or because of her looks and talent, it would be too easy to live a wealthy life! Qiniang was looking at her in a difficult situation, and wanted to help him solve his problems.
Su Erniang thought for a while, and said: "Don't offend the nobleman."
Qiniang nodded.
At this moment Li Yuanying was lobbying Wei Shu and the others to try the tea.
Tea is abundant in the south, and people in the north don't drink it very much. Li Tang started his family in Guanlong, so naturally he doesn't have the habit of drinking tea.
None of the people in Sizi have ever drank it, and they think the green one is not very tasty. When they saw Li Yuanying drinking tea with refreshment, looking extremely delicious, the sons and sons tried to drink it excitedly.
Wei Shu also tried a few sips, and found that the originally somewhat greasy dim sum became just right after drinking it with tea, and there was indeed something unique about the taste.
Several little fellows were discussing the wonders of this tea, Su Qiniang had already opened the door with her pipa in her arms.
Li Yuanying looked up, and saw that the girl had a good appearance and a charming temperament, and her figure vaguely had the grace of a cardamom girl. He didn't care much about it, but was attracted by the pipa in her hand.
This pipa looks like a good pipa.
After Su Qiniang bowed to them and began to play the pipa, Li Yuanying was sure that the pipa was very good, if the Supreme Emperor was still alive, he would definitely like it.
Seeing Li Yuanying staring at Su Qiniang, Gao Yang couldn't help poking him.
Li Yuanying regained his senses and shook his head towards Gao Yang, expressing that he was fine. His memory has been very good since he was a child, he was only five years old when the Supreme Emperor passed away, but now he still remembers how the Supreme Emperor picked him up and teased him, and how he indulged him to behave mischievously.
Li Yuanying didn't care to listen to what Su Qiniang played, and when Su Qiniang finished playing, she asked directly, "Do you want to sell it?"
Su Qiniang was stunned by the question.
She met Li Yuanying's clear eyes and suddenly didn't know what to say.
When Su Qiniang looked again, she realized that Li Yuanying's eyes were on the pipa in her hand.
He didn't want to buy her, but to buy her pipa.
Seeing Su Qiniang subconsciously grasping the pipa in her hand, Li Yuanying knew that it was her favorite. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can keep it."
Gao Yang was still very concerned about his little friend, so he went to Li Yuanying's side and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Yuanying said: "I don't know why, as soon as I walked into the north, I thought of my father. After seeing this pipa, I thought of it even more! My father has always liked the pipa. I thought about buying it as a gift for him. After thinking about it, I thought Let's leave it to the person who can play it, and he can't play it again."
Hearing Li Yuanying's words, Sizi and the others gathered around and grabbed Li Yuanying's hand to comfort him: "Uncle Yao is not sad!"
Li Yuanying snorted: "I'm not sad. People are always going to die, so what's so sad!" There was a commotion outside.
Several people listened carefully, but someone was shouting: "How hard it is for me to be your Su Qiniang, because I just look down on my Fang Jun! I will give you another chance, go and bring her here immediately!"
Hearing the word "Fang Jun", Li Yuanying frowned and turned to look at Gao Yang.
Although the marriage was not formally conferred, His Majesty Li Er had already communicated with Fang Xuanling and wanted to marry Gao Yang to Fang Jun.
Gao Yang also knows about this, she is different from Cheng Yang, Cheng Yang is submissive, and she has a very fiery personality.
As soon as he heard that Fang Jun was making noise outside, and wanted to snatch Su Qiniang who was playing the pipa for them, Gao Yang immediately got up in a hurry, opened the door and confronted the Fang family Erlang outside the door: "Let me see, is it?" Who wants to snatch people from our side!"
Fang Jun stared at her like a ghost.
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: Do you want to sell it
Little prince: I mean the tea leaves here...
