A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 7 Chapter 45: Hard work (3 in 1)

On the 14th of January, Chou Zheng.

Pingkangfang, Wannian County, Chang'an.

Since Pan Ming and Duke came for the first time, they didn't feel as deeply as Lu Li: deserted.

There is a flow of people from all the cities along the way, and there is almost no place to go, but the most prosperous Pingkangfang in the past 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, right."

"The girls are all invited to **** by the nobles, and they won't come back one after another until late at night, listening to music, drinking, and chanting poems against each other." Qian Rui explained with a smile.

However, Huang Liu’s mother’s house is an exception. Other prostitutes go to empty the building, but here is brightly lit. In addition, the atmosphere is a bit weird——

Standing outside and observing, you can see the girls walking in the attic, but there is no sound of silk and bamboo.

"Lu Siqing, why did you come back so early? Could it be that Qian Rui didn't take care of her well?"

Not long after everyone stepped into the prostitute, Huang Liuniang was sitting in the main hall, doing nothing, as if she had nothing to love.

However, when she saw that the person coming was Lu Li, she came back to life again, shook the silk paw in her hand, and showed a professional expression on her face: "Oh, these two princes have a tight face. They are here for the first time?"

Looking at the milfs and the fake mother with heavy makeup in front of him, Pan Ming pressed his embarrassment and curiosity in his heart, and answered the question: "What should I call you?"

"It seems that the two princes are here for the first time? If you can think of me, just call me Liuniang."

Neither Pan Ming nor Duke went out in official uniforms, but Huang Liuniang knew Lu Li and naturally did not dare to neglect.

On the side, Lu Li looked around and saw the girls chatting idly, and asked casually, "Why don't the girls go out to enjoy the lanterns during the Spring Festival today."

"Could it be that no one was invited?"

When the words were over, Lu Li had vaguely guessed the answer.

Sure enough, Huang Liuniang no longer forced a smile, and said helplessly: "The next few prostitutes didn't know where to find out about Lady Mingyue's death. They preached that the slaves are haunted here. No guests dared to come here early this morning."

"Not only that, several girls who had been invited have also been sent back, and if this continues, alas..."

I didn't expect that the brothels in Pingkang Square would also be so involved.

I heard that now, Pan Ming and Duke have vaguely guessed the cause and effect, but they can't figure it out. They are just dead individuals. Why are they related to ghosts and gods?

Lu Li didn't explain, and said, "Dali Temple is already investigating the murderer. When the truth comes to light, the business of Liu Niang's family will naturally get better."

Somehow, the figure of Li Bing appeared in his mind, presumably this Yu Mao has found some important clues at this moment, and is working hard to investigate.

"Thanks to the temple's good words, no matter what, you have to come here often in the future. The slaves will definitely let the girls entertain them."

After everyone talked in the main hall for a while, they moved to Room No. 6, which is a big place and a place where Miss Qianrui used to entertain guests. Rather than making others cheaper, it would be better to let her earn some money.

Of course, Qian Rui and Huang Liuniang didn't plan to collect money, but invited them to prostitute.

"How about Elder He?"

Taking advantage of the girl's time to decorate the room and prepare food and drink, Lu Li asked casually.

"He had something at home, so he left at noon, and it didn't take long for us to wake up."

As soon as the voice fell, the bead curtain clashing sounded, and Wang Wei walked in with a smile: "Shangyuan Festival is three days and two nights, and I wasted a day in vain. Lu Qing should make good compensation for us."

"Don't drink more."

Chao Heng, who was standing next to Wang Wei, shrank back. He was obviously frightened. He added: "It will be a great meeting in a few hours. Don't delay business."

Hearing that, the three of Lu Li stared at each other. They were all thinking about playing, and they almost forgot that they still had to participate in the meeting—

There are many types of dynasties, there are Chang dynasties, synodic dynasties, and Zhizheng dynasties.

The former, as the name suggests, discusses state affairs, sacrifices to the heavens and the earth, sacrifices to the sea and mountains, and Linxuan's orders... These things often happen and need to be dealt with in time, without paying too much attention to them.

The Zhizheng Dynasty refers to the two days of the Winter Solstice and New Year's Day, and it is not related to the meeting of several hours.

Finally, the Shuowang Dynasty is held on the 1st and 15th of each month, and it is also during the Shangyuan Festival. As long as the civil and military officials in Beijing can move, they must be present to congratulate the emperor and receive rewards.

"Then just have a drink."

In fact, Lu Li didn't think it was too much trouble. Anyway, he didn't have to deal with official duties, he just used to make up the number of people in the past, and gained a lot of knowledge.

On the side, Miss Qianrui ordered her close-to-hand maidservant to give Huang Liuniang a message, and asked her to order the courtyard ranger to go to everyone's mansion to fetch the court clothes.

After explaining all the chores, Lu Li found that one person was missing and couldn't help asking: "Brother Taibai, why didn't he see him? Could it be that he went out with a nice girl to enjoy the lights?"

Hearing this, Wang Wei seemed to have thought of something, and he said with curiosity: "If you don't tell me, I have forgotten, what exactly did he drink last night, and he still hasn't recovered from lying down."

Dry and wine mixed with Lu wine, poured four or five jars one after another...

Thinking of this, Lu Li smiled without saying a word.

Frankly speaking, he didn't expect that the stamina would be so great that it would make Li Bai, who has a hundred poems about fighting wine, become like this.

"Would you like not to wait anymore? Let someone cook some hangover soup for him, maybe it will be alleviated."

On the way here, Duke had already planned which poems to copy, and he had a poem meeting with Li Bai, and when he got acquainted, he would then ask him to write a poem for himself——

Poem name: Shang Yuan presented to Duke.

Hmm... Li Bai's "Will Entering Wine" made Master Cen and Dan Qiusheng stay in the history, and the same goes for "Gift to Wang Lun". Duke also wanted to experience this feeling.

"Stop drinking, stop drinking."

He heard his voice before seeing him.

Li Bai pinched his eyebrows and walked into the room. He had never been so embarrassed before. He had a splitting headache. He was scared when he saw wine. Especially after seeing Lu Li's smiling face, he instantly remembered before drinking the clips last night. The sentence heard:

Brother Taibai, don't just drink Lu wine, add some dry and wine in it, the taste will be better.

"Duke, Zuo Qianniu Weizhong Lang."

"Pan Ming, a member of the Ministry of Engineering, Foreign Lang."

Because it was the first time I saw each other, everyone informed each other about their names, and after some humility, they took a seat and made a reservation.

Chao Heng and Li Bai sat together, and the two made it clear that they would not drink any alcohol and only drink three leashes, which is equivalent to the children's group.

Wang Wei said that he could accompany him to drink a little, but he must ensure that he would not delay the meeting of tomorrow, so as not to lose his courtesy before the king.

As for Lu Li, Du Ke, and Pan Ming, all three of them knew that each other's physique was different from that of ordinary people. No matter how much they drink, they only test the capacity of their stomachs, and they quietly reached a consensus:

Don't do those fancy things, just drink whatever you want, just have a good time.

In addition, there were not many cultural people sitting in the banquet, and it was a disappointment to really want to play wine. Therefore, Miss Qian Rui proposed to bring "The Analects of Confucius" up, just like last night.

After listening to the rules, Duke felt that it was still not profitable, and asked if there was a simpler way to play.

Then you can only play the dice table order. There is no requirement for literary talent and knowledge reserve, just by luck——

Except for certain three hangs.

Moreover, it is not a ginkgo-shaped barnyard, but the hexahedral dice of later generations. One and four points are dyed red, and the other points are dyed green and black.

Lu Li asked the girl Qianrui which color is the best, that is, which color is precious.

Hearing this, Qian Rui guessed that he was going to mess up, but that didn't count, after all, he was shaking out the suit based on his own ability.

Tang Yin, Biyou, Jiuxing:

The four points of the three dice are facing up at the same time, a piece of red, full of beaming extravagance, the same color as the big seals used by the prime ministers in the political affairs hall, so it is called the hall seal, if you shake it out, you can invite everyone in the room to have a drink.

The six points of the three dice are facing upwards at the same time. This is the maximum number of points, and six and green are homophonic, so they are directly dyed green, and a piece of green is similar to the [Biyou Building] used by Yushi Chengyu, so it is second only to "Tang Yin" can invite three people to drink together.

As for the wine star, there is not so much attention to it, three points upward, like a star.

You can persuade others to drink if you cast these three kinds of precious colors.

In this regard, Li Bai and Chao Heng were very casual, they let Lu Li and the others drink when they were shaken, and they drink when they were shaken—

Anyway, the cup is filled with three-leaf syrup, made from Nanyang fruit, and has no degree. Not only that, but it can also hangover.

In this situation, Lu Cizhong felt both funny and guilty:

Dignified poetry, the more you drink, the more poetic you get, but he was teased a bit. Now he only dared to drink juice, just like a vegetarian lion.

All of a sudden, the dice clanging in the No. 6 room of the letter A, the laughter kept clamoring.

As the night darkened, the girls who went out to watch the lanterns also returned to the brothel with their benefactors, preparing to fight till dawn.

"Fill me full."

While drinking and chatting, before they knew it, everyone had been drinking for two more days, and Li Bai felt that he was doing it again, and asked Wu Ji to pour wine for him.

But I still didn't dare to touch the spirits, and cautiously placed a pot of Lang Guanqing, but still felt a little scared, and simply prepared two pots of ebony syrup in advance.

Unfortunately, Master Li met Duke.

After hearing about Lu Li's record last night, this guy also deliberately wanted to get Jiu Xian drunk. After all, he could go out and brag about it in the future—I once got Li Bai drunk.

With mental arithmetic and unintentional, Master Li, who had just woke up shortly afterwards, became drunk again.

This time, the situation is a little different.

Li Bai, who was already in his 40s, pushed the banquet, jumped to the center of the hall, and began to dance with teeth and claws.

Not to mention, there is quite a way between advances and retreats, and at first glance they are well-trained.

Lu Li leaned on the table, eating frozen pears cut by girl Qianrui, and admiring Li Bai's dancing with relish.

On the left, Wang Wei and Chao Heng cheered from time to time.

At the beginning of the Three Kingdoms World, everyone got together and it was the same. When they were happy, they danced together. To this day, Lu Li still remembers the first time he met Ding Gong, it should be the scene when his quasi-father-in-law met——

Twisted and raised his arms, shook his sleeves, waved his hands and waved, ignoring the prestige of the nobles.

The same is true for Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.

At this time, Li Bai jumped closer and closer, and rushed towards the landing. This was called Darling, a name unique to this dynasty. In the Three Kingdoms period, it was called "Yiwuxiangxiang".

However, after Li Bai jumped to his side, Lu Li didn't show any timidity, stood up and moved around with him, dancing with his hands.

Ancient culture is like this. 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 defeated the East Turks and returned from a great victory. Li Yuan and Li Shimin directly held a banquet to celebrate. During the banquet, His Majesty Tian Khan got up and danced for the first time. The Supreme Emperor played the pipa accompaniment for his son by the side, and the ministers also danced with him.

The same scene was staged again more than ten years later. At that time, the new prince Li Zhi had just become the eldest son, and Tian Khan was very old. After hearing the news, without saying anything, he rushed to the East Palace with a group of veterans to take the lead in dancing.

in short.

Dance when you feel happy, and when someone invites you, don’t feel ashamed. It’s ashamed to hold the shelf, and it will make the inviter feel slapped in the face.

Gradually, Pan Ming and Duke also joined the ranks of dancing.

When everyone was singing and dancing, Dali Temple Shaoqing Li Bing was also doing similar movements.

However, compared to the reserved dance in Room A, the men, women and children on the street are more casual.

There is a poem: Li Bai is about to go on a boat, and suddenly he hears the sound of singing on the shore.

The men and women surrounded the lanterns, arms arm in arm, stomping on the ground neatly according to the rhythm, singing Yuan congratulations as they stepped, and they could even jump to the next morning when they got excited.

At this moment, Li Bing was pulled by the cuffs of two delicately made-up girls and forced to perform his talents.

After a long time, finally got a rest time, another girl came up and asked him to take off his veil. Li Bing guessed that if he was **** away, this group of people would probably get started.

At this moment of thought, it jumped high and escaped smoothly with its agility.

"Um... Lord Cat is not playing, he is searching for the smell of Siqing." Li Bing moved back and forth on the roof.

Deliberately planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows to make a shade, walking along the road in front of the imperial city, Lu Li's breath grew stronger and stronger.

Before long, Li Bing directly locked Pingkangfang, and speculated that Lu Siqing went to the prostitute to play again.

Thinking of this, it couldn't help speeding up, and many guests returning with their female companions felt a flower in front of them, and an afterimage passed by.

Must find something for this guy!

Drinking big wine, listening to small tunes, surrounded by leading girls in prostitutes, just like an uncle...

I have to say that Li Bing has already made up for the appearance of Lu Li's wandering corpse.

Hmm... the fact is the same.

After jumping for more than half an hour, Lu Li and the others felt that they could continue. Li Bai and Wang Wei felt a little overwhelmed. They drank some refreshing ebony syrup while they were sober.

"After playing the Analects of Confucius, take a bath and rest. It won't be long before you go to court." The international friend Chao Heng remained sober and reminded: "If you smell alcohol in your body by the Yushi, you will inevitably be impeached. "

Upon hearing the word rest, Qian Rui smiled unreservedly, she never believed Lu Li's backache anymore.

Can a backache hit the ball?

Still having a good time.

A blue Sirius always protects him, I am afraid that he is no longer a mortal fetus.

In short, she must take Lu Li away tonight!

"Yes." Duke nodded expectantly, the original sadness has long been gone.

A few insightful maidservants bowed and turned around to get the silver wine chip.

"The slave family offers a dance to help you Yaxing." Qian Rui said softly.

Changan Oiran is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not to mention dancing, and after the death of Lady Mingyue, Huang Liuniang will rely on her to support the scene, and her dancing posture is naturally not bad.

It's just that those Yingying Miao eyes often stared at Lu Li, and everyone knew what they were thinking.

Duke smiled teasingly.

However, Pan Ming had seen Mrs. Guo Guo's attitude of self-recommended pillow seats, but he didn't feel any surprise.

Just as the Qianrui girl was preparing to dance, a white shadow jumped in along the opened window sill, and a questioning voice followed:

"Has Si Qing had a lot of fun?"

"Didn't you just hang out in the east and west cities?"

The two who reacted first stared at Lu Li, also questioning with their eyes:

This cat has grown into a refined spirit, and can even vomit. Isn't this a casual world?

Why didn't you say it earlier?

How did you meet?

"This is Shaoqing of the temple, the minister of the humerus of the saint."

Perceiving that Li Bing's tone was full of sadness, Lu Li didn't ask about fate, he directly put a top hat on him, boasting: "The judge is like a god. With its help, the officer can sit back and relax."

"It's been a lot of hard work all the way, come, take a break with a glass of juice."

When the words were over, he personally poured a glass of iced three-leaf syrup and handed it over.

Behind the drapery hat, Li Bing's face showed a reddish color. It was really anxious for official duties at first, but it didn't take long for him to eat, drink and have fun.

Deep-fried noodles, dried small fish, tage, and even took time to watch the lanterns...

Poor Na Yuan Zai, at this moment, is alone visiting Qianfu Temple at night.

Thinking of this, Li Bing immediately put away all his distracting thoughts, and said solemnly: "Si Qing, the two murders in Pingkangfang have found important clues."

"It is related to Qianfu Temple in Andingfang."

Upon hearing the word homicide, Qianrui's face instantly turned pale, and there was no more thoughts in her heart.

Wang Wei and others have witnessed the whole process of the murder. They also had no thoughts of drinking. They raised their eyes and looked at Li Bing, who was covered in black robe, and waited silently for the following article.

"There are many believers in this Qianfu Temple, and you must visit the temple in person to ensure that nothing is lost."

Many followers?

Both Nestorianism and Zoroastrianism are mysterious, not to mention Buddhism, which can compete with Taoism——

Datang respects Laozi as the ancestor and Taoism as the state religion. In addition to the female emperor, the emperors of successive dynasties have continuously improved the status of Taoist priests. , Gaozong even respected Lao Tzu as the "Emperor Xuanyuan".

In this case, Buddhism is still strong, and there must be something wrong with it.

"What's the basis?"

Lu Li put down the wine bottle and sat down tightly.

Next, Li Bing told all the findings and inferences during the day.

There is nothing wrong.

If he thinks in another way, 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.

"If that's the case, let's go. It's four watch days, and five watch days are going to go up."

"Everyone, there is official business to deal with in the next step. Let's go one step ahead and see you in the hall."

After some thought, Lu Li decided to go to Qianfu Temple.

First of all, he has confidence in his own strength, and secondly, the depth of the world is true, but the imperial court's ability to gain a foothold here shows that dragon and tiger aura has an unimaginable effect.

In the end, something is really going to happen, isn't there still that Arahah deity?

Maybe he can try to find out how tough his backstage is, anyway, he won't die.

"Langjun..."

Girl Qianrui wanted to say something but stopped, her experience during the day made her feel that the world had become extraordinarily unfamiliar, and she didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry about me."

"Remember to take the lotus cross that Millis presented with you, and don't leave his robe."

Lu Li paused on the windowsill, and then said to Li Bai and others: "You have official positions, and the court will protect you. There is no law to invade, so there is no need to worry."

When the words fell, he jumped out directly, and soon merged with the darkness.

Pan Ming and Du Ke 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 such a means of going high and high?

I'm afraid it's not being a fake official.

In the darkness, the four figures galloped at the top of the house. The black-maned horse sensed that the owner was walking in a hurry and wanted to keep up. However, the terrain really did not allow it and had to give up.

Lu Li jumped out, straddling six or seven households, and exhorted the two people around him: "This world is not easy. Be cautious. Of course, there is no need to be too evasive."

"So, can you make a big fuss?" Duke's focus is always different from that of others.

"It's better not. There are traces of gods and Buddhas in this world, but you can still respect the emperor..."

Lu Li thought of the five emperors enshrined in Jingsi, and Shen Sheng added: "Respect Li Longji a little bit, don't get too swayed."

Pan Ming frowned slightly. He thought before, if one day is in a bad mood, kill an emperor and help himself...

Behind the three of them, Li Bing tried his best to rush, still far away from them.

"This...is this kind of speed still human?"

At this moment, Li Bing wondered if he was embarrassed by the cats, especially seeing the three of them being constantly talking, looking at ease with ease, and the frustration became more and more intense.

"The little kitten at the back seems to be very hard. Who is going to carry it on his back?" Duke swept away, eager to try.

Lu Li immediately stopped and volunteered: "I'll come."

One day later, he still couldn't forget the furry and soft touch.

Chang'an is called Northwest corner ~www.wuxiamtl.com~Andingfang.

Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoists began to honor the three deities of heaven, land, and water officials, and combined them with the Wang Sun of the first month, July, and October to form the Trinity Festival.

On the Spring Festival, the heavenly official blessed.

In order to spread the teachings, Buddhism did not want to show weaknesses and opened the teachings, at least three times a year, once in spring, summer and autumn.

Especially during the Zhongyuan Festival, the monk who was a latecomer deliberately created an Obon Festival. The two festivals were placed on the same day, and the connotations were all copied from Taoism. They all pray for the forgiveness and forgiveness of sins for the dead relatives, and prepare tributes to feed the evil spirits. ghost.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Zai admires Taoism even more in his heart, and it is not pleasing to see the monks in Qianfu Temple.

Today is clearly the day of blessings from the heavenly officials, but the Buddhist temple has opened its doors to accept the worship of the people.

"Promote!"

Zhong Qing mingled together.
