A Weird Theater That Started In London
Chapter 363
January 14, ugly.
Chang''an, Wannian County, pingkangfang.
Because pan Ming and Duke came for the first time, they didn''t have Lu Li''s deep feeling: desolation.
Along the way, the flow of people in each square city is like a tide, and there is almost no place to go. In the past, the most prosperous pingkang square is particularly quiet at this time.
"This is the most famous red light in Datang... The place of fireworks?" Duke shook his head and sighed, "there are too few people."
"The girls were invited to accompany them. They would not come back until late at night. They would listen to music, drink and recite poems against each other." Qian Rui explained with a smile.
However, Huang Liu''s mother''s house is an exception. Other brothels are empty, but here are brightly lit. In addition, the atmosphere is a little strange——
Standing outside, you can see girls walking in attic, but there is no sound of the silk and bamboo.
"Lu Siqing, why did you come back so early? Is it because qianrui didn''t take good care of her?"
Not long after, they stepped into the brothel. Huang liuniang was sitting in the main hall and did nothing, as if she had no love.
However, when she saw that the visitor was Lu Li, she came back to life. She threw her silk handkerchief in her hand and showed a professional face: "Yo, these two gentlemen have a tight face. Are you coming for the first time?"
Looking at the half-aged and heavily makeup fake mother in front of him, pan Ming pressed his embarrassment and curiosity and asked, "what should I call you?"
"It seems that the two Lang Jun are really coming for the first time. If you think highly of me, call me six niangs."
Pan Ming and Duke didn''t go out in official clothes, but Huang liuniang knew Lu Li and naturally didn''t dare to neglect.
On one side, Lu Li looked around and saw that the girls were chatting idly. He casually asked, "why don''t the girls go out to enjoy the lights during the Shangyuan Festival today."
"Isn''t there no invitation?"
Words fall, Lu Li has vaguely guessed the answer.
Sure enough, Huang liuniang no longer forced a smile and said helplessly, "the brothels next door didn''t know where the news of Mingyue''s death came from. They preached that the slave was haunted here. No guests dared to come to the door early this morning."
"Not only that, several invited girls were sent back. If it goes on like this, alas..."
I didn''t expect that the brothel in pingkang square was also so voluminous.
Now, pan Ming and Duke have vaguely guessed the cause and effect, but they can''t figure it out. It''s just a dead person. How can they be related to ghosts and gods?
Without explanation, Lu Li said, "Dali temple is already tracking down the murderer. When the truth comes out, the business of the sixth mother''s family will naturally get better."
Somehow, the figure of Li Bing appeared in my mind. It must be that this royal cat has found some important clues and is trying to investigate.
"I borrow your kind words from the temple secretary. Anyway, you should come here often in the future. I must let the girls entertain you well."
After talking for a while in the main hall, they moved to room a-6. It''s a big place and a place for miss qianrui to entertain guests. It''s better for her to make some money than to bargain others.
Of course, qianrui and Huang liuniang don''t intend to take money, but invite them to whore for nothing.
"He Lao, where are they?"
Lu Li asked casually while the girl arranged the room and prepared wine and food.
"He Jian had something at home. He left at noon, and we didn''t wake up long."
As soon as the voice fell, the collision of bead curtains sounded. Wang Wei came in with a smile: "Shangyuan Festival has a total of three days and two nights. We wasted a day. Lu Qing should make good compensation to us."
"Don''t drink too much."
Chao Heng, standing on the side of Wang Wei, shrunk back. He was obviously afraid of being filled. He added: "in a few hours, there will be a big meeting. Don''t delay the business."
Hearing the speech, Lu Li and the three looked at each other. All they thought about was playing. They almost forgot to attend the morning meeting——
There are many kinds of court meetings, including Chang Dynasty, Shuo Wang Dynasty and Zhizheng Dynasty.
The former, as the name suggests, discusses state affairs, sacrifices heaven and earth, sacrifices the sea and mountains, and plans life at linxuan... These things often happen and need to be handled in time without too much attention.
The Zhizheng Dynasty refers to the winter solstice and new year''s day, which are not related to the morning meeting a few hours later.
Finally, the new hope Dynasty is held on the 1st and 15th of each month. It also coincides with the Shangyuan Festival. As long as all civil and military officials in Beijing can move, they must enter the palace to congratulate the emperor and accept rewards.
"Then help yourself to a drink."
In fact, Lu Li didn''t feel much trouble. Anyway, he didn''t have to deal with official business. He had a long experience when he gathered up a number of people in the past.
One side, girl qianrui ordered her maid to bring a message to Huang liuniang and asked her to order the Ranger to take the imperial dress from the people''s house.
After explaining all kinds of chores, Lu Li found that there was one missing. He couldn''t help asking, "brother Taibai, why didn''t you see him? Did you go out to enjoy the lamp with a girl who is a good friend?"
Hearing the speech, Wang Wei seemed to think of something and said curiously, "I forgot what he drank last night. He hasn''t slowed down until now."
Dry and wine mixed with Lu wine and poured four or five jars in succession
With this in mind, Lu Li smiled and said nothing.
Frankly speaking, he didn''t expect that he would have such a strong aftereffect that he could make Li Bai, who wrote hundreds of wine fighting poems, like this.
"Don''t wait any longer? Let someone cook some sobering Soup for him. Maybe he can slow down."
On the way here, Duke has already planned which poems to copy. He will meet Li Bai with poems. When he gets familiar, he will ask him to write a poem for himself——
Poem Title: Duke from Shangyuan.
HMM... master Cen and Dan Qiusheng are famous for Li Bai''s song "going to drink", and so is "to Wang Lun". Duke also wants to experience this feeling.
"No more, no more."
If you don''t see a man, smell his voice first.
Li Bai walked into the room holding the center of his eyebrows. He had never been so embarrassed. He had a headache and was afraid when he saw the wine. Especially after seeing Lu Li''s smiling face, he suddenly remembered the sentence he heard before drinking the fragment last night:
Brother Taibai, don''t just drink Lu wine. It will taste better if you mix some dry wine with it.
"Duke, Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang."
"Pan Ming, a worker from the Ministry of work."
Because it was the first time to see each other, they informed each other of their names. After some humility, they took their seats.
Chao Heng and Li Bai sat together. They made it clear that they would not drink alcohol and only drink sanlejiang, which is equivalent to the children''s group.
Wang Wei said that he could have a drink with him, but he should ensure that he could not delay the great court meeting tomorrow, so as not to lose his honor in front of you.
Lu Li, Duke and pan Ming all knew that each other''s physique was different from that of ordinary people. No matter how much they drank, they just tested their stomach capacity, so they reached a consensus silently:
Don''t do those fancy things. Just drink and have fun.
In addition, there were not many cultural people sitting at the banquet. If you really want to play wine making, you will be disappointed. Therefore, miss qianrui proposed to bring up the "Analects of Confucius jade candle", just like last night.
After listening to the rules, Duke felt it was not refreshing enough and asked if there was a simpler way to play.
Then we can only play dice. We have no requirements for literary talent and knowledge reserve, just by luck——
Except for some three hanging forces.
Moreover, it is not a ginkgo shaped Ailanthus, or the hexahedral dice of later generations. One point and four points are dyed red, and other points are dyed green and black.
Lu Li asked the girl qianrui which color was the most powerful, that is, which was your color.
Hearing this, Qian Rui guessed that he wanted to do something bad. In fact, it didn''t count. After all, he shook out the designs and colors with his own ability.
Tang Yin, Bi you, Jiuxing:
The four points of the three dice face up at the same time. They are red and full of jubilant dignity. They are the same color as the big seal used by the prime ministers in the political affairs hall. Therefore, they are called the hall seal. If they are shaken out, please have a full drink.
The six points of the three dice face up at the same time, which is the largest number of points, and six and green are homophonic to each other, so they are directly dyed green, and a piece of green is similar to the [biyouchuang] used by the imperial historian Chengyu, so it is second only to "Tang Yin". You can invite three people to drink together.
As for the wine star, there is not so much attention. The three points are upward, like stars.
You can persuade others to drink these three expensive colors. If there are other colors, you have to drink and drink by yourself.
In this regard, Li Bai and Chao Heng are very casual. When they shake the expensive color, they let Lu Li drink, and when they shake the variegated color, they drink by themselves——
Anyway, the cup is filled with Sanle pulp, which is made of Nanyang fruit. It has no degree at all. Not only that, it can also relieve the wine.
In this situation, Lu Li felt both funny and guilty:
The more you drink, the more poetic you are. As a result, he teased you. Now he only dares to drink juice, just like a vegetarian lion.
For a time, the dice were jingling in the No. 6 room, and there was a lot of laughter.
As the night grew darker, the girls who went out to watch the lights also returned to the brothel with their benefactors, ready to fight until dawn.
"Fill it up for me."
While drinking and chatting, unconsciously, the people had been drinking for two more days, and Li Bai felt that he was OK again and asked the dancer to pour wine for him.
However, he still didn''t dare to touch the liquor. He carefully placed a pot of Lang Guanqing, but he still felt a little afraid. He simply prepared two pots of dark plum syrup in advance. If he can''t drink enough, he can continue his life by this.
Unfortunately, Master Li met Duke.
After hearing about Lu Li''s achievements last night, he also wanted to get drunk. After all, he can go out and boast that I once got Li Bai drunk.
Master Li, who had just woke up, was drunk again.
This time, the situation is somewhat different.
Li Bai, now in his forties, pushed the banquet, jumped to the center of the hall and began to dance with open teeth and claws.
Not to mention, there is a lot of law between advance and retreat. At first glance, it is well-trained.
Lu Li leaned against the table and ate the frozen pear cut by qianrui girl while enjoying Li Bai''s dance with relish.
On the left, Wang Wei and Chao Heng cheered from time to time.
In the Three Kingdoms world, everyone got together, and so did they. When they had a good time, they danced together. Up to now, Lu Li still remembers that the first time he met Ding Gong should be the scene when his prospective father-in-law met——
Twist and raise your arms, swing your sleeves and robes, wave and send them, regardless of the prestige of any noble and senior officials.
The same is true of Lv Bu and Zhang Liao.
At this time, Li Bai jumped closer and closer and came straight for Lu Li. This is called Da Ling, a unique name in this dynasty. It was called "belonging to dance" during the Three Kingdoms period.
However, after Li Bai jumped to his side, Lu Li didn''t show timidity. He directly stood up and moved around with him.
In ancient culture, singing and dancing in public at a banquet is nothing to be ashamed of. On the contrary, it is a very normal and elegant activity.
Take the Tang Dynasty as an example. A hundred years ago, Li Jing returned home after defeating the East Turks. Li Yuan and Li Shimin''s father and son directly held a banquet to celebrate. During the banquet, his majesty Tian Khan got up and danced for the first time. The supreme emperor accompanied his son with a lute, and the ministers danced with him.
The same scene was staged again more than ten years later. At that time, the new Prince Li Zhigang had his eldest son. Tian Khan was old. Without saying a word, he rushed to the east palace with a group of old ministers to take the lead in dancing.
In short.
Dance when you feel happy. Don''t feel ashamed when others invite you. It''s humiliating to hold your airs and make the invitee feel humiliated.
Gradually, pan Ming and Duke joined the dance.
While everyone was singing and dancing, Li Bing, Shaoqing of Dali temple, was doing a similar action.
However, compared with the reserved dance in room a-6, the men, women and children in the street are more casual.
There is a poem: Li Bai wants to go in a boat. Suddenly he hears the sound of stepping on the shore.
Men and women around the lantern, arm in arm, stomp on the ground according to the beat, and sing Shangyuan greetings while stepping. When they are interested, they can even jump to the next morning.
At the moment, Li Bing was pulled by two girls with exquisite makeup and forced to perform talent.
After a long time, it was not easy to get a break. Another girl gathered around and asked him to take off his curtain hat. Li Bing estimated that if he was pushing off, this group of people would start.
At this point, it jumped high and fled smoothly with its flexible skills.
"Well... The cat is not playing, but searching for the smell of the temple secretary." Li Bing moves back and forth on the roof.
Deliberately planting flowers and flowers, inadvertently inserting willows into the shade, walking along the avenue in front of the Imperial City, Lu Li''s breath is getting stronger and stronger.
Before long, Li Bing directly locked in pingkang square and speculated that Lu Siqing went to the brothel again.
Thinking of this, it can''t help speeding up. Many guests returning with their female companions feel a flower in front of them and a residual shadow passing by.
We have to find something for this guy!
Drink a lot of wine, listen to a song, surrounded by the top girl in the brothel, just like an uncle
It has to be said that Li Bing has made up the appearance of Lu Li''s debauchery.
Well... The same is true.
After jumping for more than half an hour, Lu Li and others felt that they could continue. Li Bai and Wang Wei felt that they couldn''t bear it. They drank some refreshing plum juice when they woke up.
"Play a round of Analects jade candle and take a bath and rest. It won''t be long before you go to court." Chao Heng, an international friend, still kept awake and warned: "if the imperial historian smelled the smell of wine, he would be impeached."
Hearing the word "rest", qianrui girl smiled without reserve. She no longer believed the nonsense of Lu Li''s back pain.
Can low back pain beat a bow?
Still playing so well.
With the constant protection of blue Sirius, I''m afraid it''s not a physical fetus for a long time.
In a word, she must take Lu Li away tonight!
"Yes." Duke nodded expectantly, and the original sadness had disappeared.
And a few female maidservants who had eyes made a salute and turned to get silver wine chips.
"I''d like to offer you a dance to help you with your elegance." Qian Rui''s voice was soft.
Chang''an Huakui is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, not to mention dancing. After Mingyue''s mother died, Huang liuniang relied on her to support the scene, and her dancing posture is naturally not bad.
However, those wonderful eyes often stare at Lu Li, and everyone knows what idea he is making in his heart.
Duke showed a teasing smile.
However, pan Ming, who had seen the attitude of the lady of the state of Guo in recommending herself as a pillow seat, did not feel strange.
Just as Miss qianrui was preparing to dance, a white shadow jumped in along the open windowsill, followed by a questioning voice:
"Have you ever enjoyed yourself?"
"Didn''t you say you only strolled in the East and West cities?"
The two people who responded first stared at Lu Li and questioned with their eyes:
The cat has become a sperm and can spit people''s words. Isn''t this the Leisure world?
Why didn''t you say it earlier?
How did you meet?
"This is Shaoqing of our temple, the Minister of the saint''s humerus."
He noticed that Li Bing''s tone was full of sadness. Lu Li didn''t ask about fate. He directly buttoned a high hat for it and boasted: "the case is like God. With its help, I can rest easy."
"It''s hard all the way. Come on, have a glass of juice and have a rest."
Then he poured a glass of iced Sanle syrup and handed it over.
Behind the curtain hat, a slight red appeared on Li Bing''s face. At first, he was really worried about official business, but he went to eat, drink and have fun soon.
Fried fruit powder, dried fish, Ta Ge, and even took time to watch lanterns
Poor yuan Zai, he is exploring Qianfu Temple alone at the moment.
Thinking of this, Li Bing immediately put away all his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Siqing, the two homicides in pingkangfang have found important clues."
"It is related to Qianfu temple in Anding square."
Hearing the word "homicide", miss qianrui''s face turned white and there was no more beautiful idea in her heart.
Wang Wei and others witnessed the whole process of the murder. They were also not in the mood to drink. They looked up at the plum cake shrouded in black robes and waited silently for the next article.
"There are a lot of believers in Qianfu temple. You must go there in person to ensure everything is safe."
A lot of believers?
Both Jingjiao and Yaojiao are mysterious, not to mention the Buddhism that can compete with Taoism——
The Tang Dynasty respected Lao Tzu as its ancestor and Taoism as its national religion. In addition to the female emperor, successive emperors constantly improved the status of Taoists. Gaozu stipulated that "the Taoist Buddha is small, old before release". Taizong reiterated that "my origin comes from the column", and Gaozong respected Lao Tzu as "emperor Xuanyuan of the Supreme Court".
In this case, Buddhism is still strong. There must be something strange in it.
"What is the basis?"
Lu Li put down his wine bottle and sat down.
Next, Li Bing will tell all the discoveries and inferences of the day.
There''s nothing wrong with it.
If you think in another position, Lu Li will do the same. Qianfu Temple must not enter, and it is not sneaking in. You must find the host and ask him to fully cooperate with the investigation.
"In that case, let''s go. It''s the fourth watch and the fifth watch."
"Everybody, I have business to deal with. Let''s go first and see you in the hall."
After a little thought, Lu Li decided to go to Qianfu temple.
First of all, he has confidence in his own strength. Second, the water depth of the world is true, but the imperial court can stand firm here, which shows that the dragon and tiger spirit has an unimaginable role.
Finally, if something really happened, didn''t there still be the Aloha God?
Maybe he can try out how hard his backstage is. Anyway, he won''t die.
"Lang Jun..."
Qianrui girl wanted to talk and stopped. Her experience during the day made her feel that the world had become very strange and didn''t know what to say.
"Don''t worry about me."
"Remember to take the lotus cross given by miris with you, and don''t drop his robe."
Lu Li paused on the windowsill and said to Li Bai and others, "you have official positions. With the blessing of the imperial court, there is no need to worry about the inviolability of all laws."
Then he jumped out directly and soon became one with the darkness.
Pan Ming and Duke immediately followed, leaving only Li Bai, Wang Wei and Chao Heng. They looked at each other awkwardly.
Well, everyone is an imperial official. Why don''t I have the means to go high?
I''m afraid I didn''t become a fake official.
In the dark, four figures galloped at the top of the house. The black maned horse noticed that the owner was in a hurry and wanted to follow up, but the terrain really didn''t allow it, so he had to give up.
Lu Li jumped out one step, across six or seven families, and told the two people around him: "the world is not simple. Be careful. Of course, there is no need to be too taboo."
"So, can we have a big fight?" Duke''s focus is always different from others.
"You''d better not. There are traces of gods and Buddhas in this world, but you still respect imperial power..."
Lu Li thought of the picture of the five emperors enshrined in the temple. He added in a deep voice: "respect Li Longji. Don''t be too floating."
Pan Ming frowned slightly. He thought that if he was in a bad mood one day, he would kill an emperor and help himself
Behind the three, Li Bing tried his best to go, still far away from them.
"This... Is this speed still human?"
At the moment, Li Bing doubted whether he had humiliated the cat family. In particular, he felt more and more frustrated when he saw that the three were talking constantly and with ease.
"The little cat in the back seems very hard. Who will carry it?" Duke swept the light and was eager to try.
Lu Li immediately stopped and volunteered: "I''ll come."
After a day, he still couldn''t forget the furry and soft feel.
Chang''an is called the northwest corner, Anding square.
Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism began to respect the three gods of heaven, earth and water, and combined with the sun of the first month, July and October to form the ternary Festival.
Shangyuan Festival is blessed by heavenly officials.
In order to spread its teachings, Buddhism, unwilling to be outdone, has opened popular lectures at least three times a year, once in spring, summer and autumn.
Especially on the Zhongyuan Festival, as a latecomer, the monks specially created a Yulan basin Festival. The two festivals are placed on the same day, and the connotation is all according to the scribes. They are all praying for blessings and forgiveness of sins for dead relatives, preparing tributes and feeding Yin Si evil ghosts.
It is precisely because of this that Yuanzai respected Taoism more in his heart, and it was not pleasant to see the monks in Qianfu temple.
Today is clearly the day of heavenly blessing, but the Buddhist temple has opened its Mountain Gate to accept the worship of the people.
"Lift the seat!"
The bell chimes.
