Chapter 995: The Red Man of the Capital
Bing'er, tonight's action is very dangerous, success or failure is the line between success, are you afraid? Lin Jue laughed in a low voice.
Bai Bing looked up at Lin Jue and said, "Follow my husband, I'm not afraid of anything." I will do what my husband asks me to do. ”
Lin Jue leaned down and kissed her red lips, and said with a smile: "Bing'er, have you ever doubted my decision, do you think that I am too easy to get into trouble." Do you feel like you're on a thief ship? After marrying me, you have experienced much more danger than in Mobei. I'm used to you helping me, isn't that a bit selfish? ”
Bai Bing chuckled, "How can there be? After following my husband, I opened my eyes to the fact that there were so many things to do in the world. If it weren't for my husband, I would still be ignorant, like a bird in a cage, and I don't know how wide the sky is. Of course, it is indeed easy for the husband to provoke right and wrong, and there is constant trouble. But I know that my husband has never taken the initiative to provoke others, and it is others who provoke you. We can't let anyone slaughter us. However, I do sometimes wonder why people always want to trouble us. Isn't it okay for everyone to live happily, love each other, and not fight for power and profit? Why do you have to do this? ”
Lin Jue smiled and nodded, "I'm very happy that Bing'er can be so reasonable." As for your doubts, I think many people have them. In fact, you should also see that although the land of Mobei is difficult and difficult, the danger of bitter cold and wild beasts is far less than the danger of this red and dusty world. The most dangerous thing in this world is not the ferocity of wild beasts, nor the coldness and heat, nor the mercilessness of fire and water, nor the famine or disease. It is precisely the human beings themselves. People are the most ruthless and ferocious things, they can do many things that you can't imagine, those things that heaven and earth can't do, animals can't do, only people can do. We live in this world, many times it is like living in a world full of demons, you can't be kind and forbearing, you have to fight, you have to defeat these demons and monsters to live. Therefore, we must be strong ourselves, we must have a strong heart, we must do our best, and we must not have a moment of relaxation. If you don't defeat them, they will eat you, and no one can survive by weakness. When you understand this truth, you will understand why these people are fighting for power and profit, and they are all going to devour and dump others. ”
Bai Bing frowned and pondered for a moment, and said softly, "I seem to understand." We are here to live better. Husband, Sister County Lord, Sister Yingying, Green Dance, Huanqiu, Lin Zhan, and everyone in the Lin family, we all want to live, so we have to fight and be strong. You can't let anyone slaughter and bully. So we have to go for the adventure. Just like this time, if we succeed, Green Dance and Little Tiger will live, otherwise, they may die. Or the husband has to work hard for Guo Xu's bad thing. Husband, I understand. ”
Lin Jue nodded slowly, looked at Bai Bing's bright eyes and said, "You understand, that's fine." You and I must shoulder the responsibility of protecting them. It's not early, you have to go back to your room to clean up, I'll accompany you and tell you the details of the operation. It's time for us to go. ”
Bai Bing smiled and nodded, Lin Jue took her warm little hand, and the two slowly left the back garden and disappeared behind the flowers and trees.
……
Hongyan Tower is one of the old youth halls in Beijing, and the characteristic of Hongyan Tower is that the red card singing art in the building is outstanding, which is almost the tradition of Hongyan Building. The top brands of the past dynasties are well-known singers in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, and the level of courtesans in Hongyan Tower has been maintained in a high position.
There is a saying in the capital: eat in Fanlou, listen to Hongyan. It is enough to explain the name of Hongyan Tower's singing art.
Hongyanlou can have such a status in the capital, naturally not just by relying on skills. The backstage boss of Hongyan Tower is a royal nobleman in the capital, and Guo Gang, who is known as the king of Kangping County, is the backstage of Hongyan Tower. Guo Gang is an authentic royal bloodline, dating back more than three generations, Guo Gang's grandfather and today's saint Guo Chong's grandfather are brothers. It's just that Guo Chong's lineage is orthodox as the emperor's heir, and Guo Gang's lineage failed to ascend to Dabao, so he can only become a branch of the royal family. Three generations later, Guo Gang's grandfather Guo Chao's title of Prince Kangping also became the prince of the county because of hereditary reasons. But the identity of the royal nobles will not change.
What this king of Kangping likes all his life is to eat, drink, and have fun, and to be sexual, dogs and horses. Love gold stone article, antique old things. From horses and leopards to crickets and cage birds, they are all things he loves. He has a large garden, which is dedicated to raising these rare birds and beasts.
However, one of the favorite things of King Kangping was to listen to music, so he bought Hongyan Tower, because there were countless musicians and courtesans in Hongyan Tower, and he could come to listen to music at any time. He can also easily become popular with a courtesan, just like Liu Yan'er, the most popular courtesan in Hongyan Tower, a year ago she was just a second-rate courtesan in a building, because King Kangping overheard her singing voice again, and was very moved. So he immediately promoted his position and specially equipped him with a famous poet and composer, and asked her to sing the latest lyrics. invited Huang Yu, the master of the world's music law, to compose a platform for her. even let Liu Yan'er sing in the palace when the royal family was feasting. With such a toss, even if it is a person with incomplete tones, after these popular means, I am afraid that he will become popular. Besides, Liu Yan'er still has some attainments in singing, and her voice and singing skills are still remarkable.
The first singing and tasting of the new song held on the boat of Bianhelou today is actually a means to build momentum for Liu Yan'er. Since the king of Kangping County praised Liu Yan'er, such activities have been held many times, which has played a great role in promoting Liu Yan'er's popularity through the Beijing Song Museum.
After the first shift, in the wide bay under the Yulan Bridge in the middle of the Bianhe River, a colorful boat decorated with red palace lights was moored next to the pier. The snow shows no signs of stopping, but it doesn't stop the flow of people on the pier. After the musicians and dancing girls boarded the boat, a luxury carriage stopped above the pier. The carriage and horses opened, and immediately someone held an umbrella to block the falling snow for those who got off the car. A sturdy woman half-crouched at the door of the car, wrapped in a red coat and tightly covered by a hood, lying on the woman's back. The woman picked up Liu Yan'er and walked to the dock.
"Aunt Cui, you have to be careful, be careful, the road is slippery in snow, don't fall our Miss Liu. Keep your feet steady, don't be so fast. The mother who was smeared with grease and powder on the side held Liu Yan'er's arms and legs and instructed repeatedly.
Aunt Cui, who was carrying Liu Yan'er on her back, panted and agreed: "It's okay, don't worry, mom, you won't fall, although the girl is heavier, she can also move on her back." ”
"Smack!" Cui Gu was slapped on the head.
"How do you speak? Are you saying I'm fat? What nonsense? I just weighed it today, and I lost eight taels. It's you who are weak, and you blame me. When he said such things, he sent you away, and did not want you to serve. Liu Yan'er sneered on the fat woman's back, and her hand twisted the flesh on Cuigu's shoulder.
Cui Gu bared her teeth and quickly apologized, and her feet were slightly unstable, which caused a burst of exclamations from her mother and the women next to her. Fortunately, Cuigu was strong, and quickly adjusted back, walked to the dock treads step by step, and steadily carried Liu Yan'er into the boat.
On the wharf, a group of maidservants carried tables, chairs, benches, pots, tea cups, stoves, charcoal, slag buckets, tea leaves, snack boxes and other things onto the ship. These are all things that Liu Yan'er needs. Since Liu Yan'er became popular, what she eats and wears is carefully selected. No matter where you go, you need to take the things that are suitable for you with you, and you definitely don't need other people's things. Therefore, there were more than a dozen people waiting behind her, except for her mother and the personal maid who accompanied her, there were seven or eight rough maids, most of whom followed behind to carry things and do some errands.
In the dim light of the lanterns, the maidservants carefully carried their things to the ship. The maid Haruka is in charge of carrying the chair and coffee table, and she has to make two trips. After sending the chair to the boat, when she returned to the shore, she found that a small coffee table that she was supposed to carry on board was being carried by a thin, thinly dressed maid to the gangplank.
The maid had dark skin, and her birth was very ordinary. The appearance is also very unfamiliar.
"You're ......," Haruka said in surprise.
"Sister, rest, I'll move this." The maid smiled softly, her teeth white and neat.
"You're new here, why haven't I seen you before?" Haruka said with her sleeves cuffed.
"Yes, my sister is so smart, I guessed it at once. I'm new here, so I'll have to take care of my sister more in the future. My family couldn't support me anymore, so I went out to do things. The maid laughed.
Chunxiang smacked her lips and said: "I'm not the same, my family can't support me, so I can only come out to be a maid." Well, from now on I will cover you, and if you ask me anything. But you have to be diligent with your hands and feet, and you can do my work. ”
"Thank you, sister, what's my sister's name. My name is Lin Bing'er. The maid laughed.
"Poof! Lin Bing'er? Your family gave you such a young lady's name, my name is Chunxiang, and my nickname is Eryatou. See, that's the name of the people we work for. I see that your skin is very dark, so let's do it, in the future, I will call you Little Briquette, and you will call me Sister Chunxiang. Haruka laughed.
Lin Bing'er was not annoyed, but nodded and said, "Little briquettes? That's a good name. That's what my sister will call me in the future. My sister let me go, I'm going to get on the boat. By the way, where is this thing? ”
"As soon as I saw that you were a novice, put it in the hall of the building, and someone would set it up for a while. Don't go to the boat hall if you have nothing to do, we can only stay in the stern, otherwise the mother and the girl will be scolded and deducted from the wages. Don't be curious. We have nothing to do with everything, we just do the work. ”
Haruka whispered. Lin Bing'er, who had the small briquettes of the Xinya, nodded again and again in agreement, and moved the coffee table to the boat hall under the guidance of Chunxiang. Soon after, the boat was pulled out, and the lights of the swaying red lights pierced through the fog of the snowy night, like a beautiful dream, slowly rowing towards the heart of the Bianhe River.
