Evil Dao Ghost Confucian Demon Monk

Chapter 5

The street where the teahouse is located is named Tianfu Street, which is located by the Jinxiu River.As the most famous street in Jinxiu City, the capital of Shu Kingdom, Tianfu Street is full of prosperity.Since the beginning of the founding of the Kingdom of Shu, it has been the place where brothels and tea houses gather.

The climate in Shu is very good. There is an old saying: "Dawn comes out of the Jinjiang River, the long bridge willows are covered with smoke, a luxurious place for pleasure, and the fragrance is full of flowers."

The flowers mentioned here are not only flowers, but also beauties.The Yuzui Building next to Tianfu Street is such a luxurious place for pleasure.

Yuzuilou occupies a small area and is built by the river.On both sides of the river, each has a floor, which corresponds to each other.On the bank of Jinxiu River is the "Wanting Drunk Building". At this time, there is a bustle and bustle in front of the door, surrounded by beautiful women surrounded by red and emerald green, and there is a sound of arty flirting and cursing from swingers.

Opposite on the other side is the "Yuzui Building", but there is a piano, a pipa, silky and melodious, a few glasses of sake and a light drink, a good place for literati.

There are countless painted boats in the middle of the river, and sometimes you can hear the clear and melodious singing from the boats, which makes you feel good.The Jinxiu River goes upstream, not far from the two buildings, and there is an island in the river. However, the island is full of vegetation, and few people usually go up there. It is only occasionally rumored that luxury official ships often dock beside the island. I don’t know what to do on the island. something.

There is a head card on each of the two floors, named after the building, and they are called Yu Zui'er and Yu Zui'er respectively.The two have their own merits.Yu Zui'er is enthusiastic and unrestrained, and Yu Zui'er is fresh and elegant.

It's a pity that only those high-ranking officials and nobles are qualified to get close to the two drunks.The boudoir in the building where they lived has always been a place that people in Sichuan have always dreamed of.

Yuzui Building is elegant in style, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras can often be heard. Countless stories of talented scholars and beautiful women have happened here.At this time, the singer was singing the latest ditty.

"Get out!" A voice of scolding and shouting suddenly came from the front of the Yuzui Building, interrupting the song girl's beautiful singing and causing a commotion.

I saw a thin man dressed plainly and dressed as a scholar hastily got up from the ground, his body was covered in dust, he looked like he had just been thrown out.An anxious look matched his figure very well. At this moment, he scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, but he was laughed and ridiculed.

The thin monkey scholar stood up, his face was red and his muscles were swollen, he was extremely angry, and there was a bad breath in his chest, and he was very excited.The thin face trembled, and even the tongue was a little stiff when he spoke, and he said tremblingly: "Brother Chen said... I said it, the country is in danger!"You...you still...are still in the mood to eat, drink and have fun here, how do you look like the tribute... Gongshi selected by the state?
"Oh?" A thin white-faced scholar came out more and more, his image was much better than that of the thin monkey, and he still had a sneer on his face, and said: "Your brother Chen, if you have extraordinary knowledge, you are only eighth grader." Dou, why didn't you lose your name in the imperial examinations this time, and didn't become the same... tributes as us? Could it be that they usually used the tricks of stealing and cheating, and used...the past?"

Seeing the funny way the scholar imitated the thin monkey's speech, everyone burst into laughter again.

The thin monkey scholar was already so excited that he couldn't speak clearly, but now he encountered this difficult question to answer. Seeing that everyone was only sneering at him and mocking him in every possible way, he stamped his feet angrily, turned his head, and walked away.

The scholars outside the building looked a little disappointed when they saw the thin monkey leaving without any momentum, but they didn't bother him anymore, only a few people were still standing outside the door, chattering at the back of the thin monkey scholar.

The scholars went straight back to the Yuzui Building, making fun of what happened just now.But as soon as they saw the little maid serving wine in the building, it was so beautiful, tsk tsk, the scholars immediately forgot the unhappiness just now, and started to enjoy themselves immediately.

Some of the scholars guessed an order and talked happily over wine.Some recite poems and compose poems, write lyrics and compose prose, all of which are elegant things for scholars to play. After a while, the building is full of laughter and laughter again.

But in a small corner of the pavilion, it seemed a little out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere.

In the corner, a young man in white was sitting upright, his two sword eyebrows squeezed together, looking sullen.Sitting next to him was a sloppy black-faced scholar, with a swollen face and muscular body, more like a martial artist than a scholar.

The black-faced scholar said to the white-clothed young man: "Old Zhu, since that kid doesn't know how to flatter you, don't take it to heart. What's the point of getting angry with that kind of stupid scholar! He kept mumbling, ah, Brother Chen!" Say, brother Chen said, is Chen Wenze his father or something? What a disappointment! The Northern Han Dynasty is destroyed, and the army of the Dayun Kingdom is under pressure. Thinking of my Shu Kingdom, there are many natural dangers. Those Dayun soldiers are stupid. Instead of fighting thousands of miles of fertile fields, I actually want to fight against the difficult and dangerous Shu Kingdom. I am not afraid, a great official career is waiting for me in the future, haha, drink."

The white-clothed scholar frowned, raised his glass and drank lightly, then turned his head and said, "I'm not angry, it's just that what he said just now is an urgent state situation, which gave me some ideas. Why did the elders of your family and my family want to send us to the southwest?" Side? Although it is close to Nanzhao and is very stable, the north side has always been the foundation of your two families. It has been in business for many years. It is better to be a sesame official in the north than in the south. Looking at the other companies, they also want to make themselves Is it possible that the descendants of the descendants will arrange for them to go to the south, could it be that the fathers also felt that after the Northern Han Dynasty was conquered by the State of Dayun, there was a possibility that they would take down the State of Shu in one go?"

"Didn't Dayun Kingdom send a mission to Jinxiu City? I heard that it will arrive in a few days. You will know what will happen when the time comes. Alas, the sky is falling because there is a tall man to support it. Today there is wine Get drunk today, let’s not go home if we’re not drunk today!” The black-faced scholar recklessly drank to his heart’s content.

"You are really greedy for good wine!" The scholar in white shook his head lightly.

The black-faced scholar drank a glass, put the glass forward, picked up the jug and poured the wine contentedly, and said: "Speaking of drinking, I think of one thing. That Chen Wenze in the academy was a bit interesting. That day, I celebrated my birthday. It's not too noisy in the school, so I just asked a few classmates and friends to have a few small drinks. When I happened to meet him, I immediately invited him to drink.

But he shook his hand hastily, and said politely, "I'm not good at drinking, but replace wine with tea, and toast you a glass." 'Haha, I picked up the teacup and smashed it, can tea respect me?To respect Lao Tzu must be wine!He must be asked to drink alcohol, guess what, the legendary "one cup pour" really touched me, a small cup, pour it lightly, immediately blush, pour it, haha! "The black-faced scholar took another sip of fine wine.

The white-clothed scholar narrowed his eyes and looked displeased. He hesitated and said, "You have done too much. Chen Wenze's family background is not good, and he grew up next to a temple. It's normal not to drink alcohol. If it weren't for us The academy advocates what the sage Confucius said, "There is no distinction in teaching". No matter rich or poor, high or low, everyone can come to the academy to study, and Chen Wenze may not be able to study with us. Why do you force him? Isn't this using power to oppress others? ? Really embarrassing Uncle Gou. Besides, they are all going to be officials, so don't talk about Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu all day long."

The black-faced scholar didn't take it seriously, but changed his tone and said, "I didn't know that at the time. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked him to drink, but that kid's articles are always well received by my husband, saying that he is a rare man of the world." How can you fail this time when you have a talent for practical use?"

The white-clothed scholar sighed softly: "You usually only focus on dancing guns and sticks, drinking and listening to music, and you don't know a lot of big characters. I heard in the examination room that you slept for three days. How did you pass the exam?"

The black-faced scholar picked up the wine glass, raised his head in a daze for a while, and sighed softly: "Could it be that I am the legendary genius?"

The white-clothed scholar snapped and said no more.

The black-faced scholar muttered to himself: "Brother Zhu, it is said that if you can perform well in being selected as a tribute this time, we will definitely be able to enter Xiantai based on the relationship between our two families and the royal family. That’s bad, I’ve really become a fairy family, don’t be envious when the time comes, my mother took me to a Taoist temple when I was a child, and some experts said that I was destined to be a fairy.”

"Your mother is really willing to part with it. If she is really chosen by the elder fairy, she will leave the mundane world. Whether she can see your mother or not is up to her." The white-clothed scholar said jokingly.

The black-faced scholar nodded and said, "That's really a pity, so let's not go."

"Ha, you really think you've been chosen too." The scholar in white smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Why not? It is said that there is a palace guard surnamed Zhao, who was allowed to send his descendants to Xiantai because of his meritorious service in escorting. His youngest son was first selected by the Immortal Elder, and later even his daughter was also selected by the Immortal Elder as a disciple. Could it be that the son of my dignified first-rank minister is not as good as the child of a small guard?" The black-faced scholar said with disdain on his face, "I heard that the Ke family has also returned, maybe it's for It’s something about Sendai, and the status of his old man has improved a lot over the years.”

"Don't mention that kid, spoil the fun." A sullen look appeared on the face of the white-clothed scholar.

The black-faced scholar opened his mouth, stopped talking, and just focused on drinking.

For a moment, the corner was deserted. One of the two frowned and thought about it secretly; the other raised his glass and drank heartlessly.

The two of them acted like this, so that those Yingying and Yanyan who were waiting at the side did not dare to approach, everyone secretly guessed in their hearts, are these two masters not lustful, and they don't even look at so many girls glance.

These brothel women usually listen to the stories of the love between Longyang and men and men, but now seeing the two of them just chatting and ignoring the sisters, their eyes become weird when they look at them, and they don't dare to disturb them. People, all retreated to the side.

In an instant, a quarrel sounded from outside the building, and the black-faced scholar raised his head when he heard the sound, regardless of the fact that he was still holding the wine jug, he immediately grabbed a boy who was passing by and asked him to find out what happened.

This young man is a servant in the brothel, and he is the most clever man.After a while, I saw him running back and said: "You two young masters, it turns out that the 'Yipin Gambling House' on the opposite shore is 'gambling'. It was just now that Yue Ye from Jeju Prefecture lost a round. , The two pawnshops lost to Shangguan’s Ugly Young Master! At this moment, several scribes are rushing to go to the opposite bank to have a look, but most of the painting boats are leaning on the opposite bank, and they are fighting for the last boat. .”

Hearing this, no matter whether the white-clothed scholar or the black-faced scholar, they all looked excited, and their eyes shone brightly.

"Bet! I have to go and see."

One of the two carried a folding fan and pretended to be elegant, and walked forward, the other wanted to watch the "gambling fight", but was reluctant to give up the wine, so he hurriedly followed out with the wine jar.

When the two reached the shore, someone had recognized them long ago.A wealthy businessman dressed as a literati hurried forward, bowed to the two of them, and said respectfully: "Master Zhu, Master Gou, but we have to go to the other side, and our boat is about to pass."

When the other scribes saw these two people, they all stopped and stopped fighting. They all cupped their hands together and said cautiously: "Brother Zhu and Brother Gou should go first."

The two of them didn't refuse, and in the end they were the only ones on board the huge ship with the clever boy just now.The rest of the scholars could only stare blankly at the bank, but they dared not propose to go with the two of them.

After the two boarded the ship, they immediately ordered the ship merchant to sail.The rich businessman dressed as a writer agreed, and saw the small boat swaying the clear waves and paddling briskly to the opposite bank.
