Chapter 499

After the fire broke out, applause and laughter sounded, and there was a faint smell of burning gunpowder in the air.In the spring night of Zhu Ji, the performances in the building are still going on, singing and dancing, magic, juggling, cross talk, the girls in Fanlou are in charge of half of the performances, and the dinner is actually coming to an end, because many people in the building know each other. , At this time, they are either still watching the performance, or chatting with each other, discussing today's performance and Ning Yi's new poem. From the perspective of the operator, the atmosphere can be regarded as harmonious and successful.

After waiting upstairs for a while, Ning Yi was actually a little puzzled when he felt that Gao Muen might not come over.However, for a person like Gao Muen, it should not be speculated with common sense.

As for Wenren Buer, he came here, in addition to venting with Ning Yi about today's arrest, he also mentioned the news about Chen Fan side-by-side.

"...This morning, except for the two heroes of Heshuo. There was news from Xi Guishan that there was a remnant of Yongle who came to the city just to find you. I wanted to get rid of him, but unfortunately I was a step late and let him run away. ."

"Oh, is there such a thing?"

"Heh, I haven't found out the specific identity of this person, but it is said that the martial arts are very strong and very powerful." Wen Ren Bu'er looked at him, "You have ruined the great affairs of the Yongle bandits, he must come to you with bad intentions. Do you need me to send you additional staff?"

However, Ning Yi also laughed: "It is said that there are not only one or two people who died in our hands with high martial arts skills, why is Brother Wenren so nervous, the remnants of Fang La's side... , I don't think it's necessary to mobilize teachers and teachers."

Wen Ren Buer said: "I'm also afraid that something will happen in the capital. You also know that the Yongle Dynasty's affairs have recently come to an end, but it is also the most tense time, the Ministry of Punishment is very strict... Time, what should have passed has passed, so there is no need to consider these."

He rested his hands on the railing of the balcony. After saying this, he let out a sigh of relief. Ning Yi looked at him suspiciously: "What is Brother Wenren referring to?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Wen Ren Buer spread his hands and shrugged: "I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'll take it as you know."

Ning Yi looked contemplative. He naturally understood the reminder in Wenren Buer's words, but no matter what the relationship between the two sides was, only a stunned and enthusiastic young man would act tacitly on this position.The two played riddles about this matter, and Wen Ren Buer couldn't see the thoughts of this always inscrutable young man, and after a while, the topic changed.

After separating from Wenren Buer, Ning Yi went to the back of Wanzhao Building to look for Li Shishi.

I had met Li Shishi once before, and the other party looked as usual. Since the light in the corridor was not bright at that time, Ning Yi did not see anything wrong with the other party.In the subsequent performances, the performance of the other party is completely worthy of the title of the first courtier in the capital. Presumably the rumor that she was beaten yesterday may not be true, or it may be exaggerated, but since I heard about it, Ning Yi still has to go and see the other party. of.

When he came to the room on the second floor where Li Shishi was, the lights were turned off and it sounded quiet. He knocked on the door, and then came the other party's voice: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Ning Yi."

"Oh, wait."

Someone in the room got up, and then the flames flickered a few times, lighting up the lamps, and when the door opened, the fragrant yellow light overflowed.It was also Li Shishi who opened the door. She was still wearing the costume she wore during the performance—a long skirt with red plums embroidered on a white background and black borders.At this time, most of the dark clothes worn by men and women are one-piece robes, which are similar to Hanfu, but because they are used for performances, they are waisted with belts to set off their posture, and they are equipped with layered clothes. The lace makes this deep garment look like a slightly blooming flower, slender and atmospheric.It's just that the make-up should have been removed from the face, and the smile looks sober, the bangs are sideways, and the long hair is slightly gathered, but it still has the feeling of elegance and elegance.

"Liheng, come in."

"The show is almost over, so I'm here to take a look. Where's the maid next to you?"

"Sent to pack up, I'm alone."

There was only one lamp lit in the room, and the light was actually a little dim. The front window could actually see the performance in the hall from the side. At this time, a crack was slightly opened, and a chair was placed next to it. It was obvious that the performance had been completed. Shishi had been alone in front of the audience in this dark room before.After Ning Yi entered, the teacher greeted him to sit down at the table, then pulled over the tea tray and started pouring water.

"Let me do it."

Ning Yi wanted to take over, but the woman glanced at him: "Who's good at this? Of course I'll do it. By the way, I was just here watching those two jokes, it's really interesting..." Having said this, she smiled.

Ning Yi paid attention to her face. Although the light was dim, Ning Yi could vaguely see that there seemed to be a little redness on the other side's left face: "Master also likes this?"

"I like it very much. A few tricks are also very interesting. I heard that Liheng came up with these things?"

After pouring the tea, Shishi sat down and discussed the performance outside with him for a while.She is the most outstanding person in Bianliang's line. She naturally has a say in how the performance is, but in addition to her appreciation, she also vaguely reminds her.

Tonight's performance is actually not elegant, at least not the most popular performance mode among the literati.Among various performances, magic is similar to juggling, but juggling is usually some hard kung fu, similar to some performances that twist human bones from childhood. It takes more than ten years for a craftsman to practice a skill. They would be classified as three religions and nine classes. Even though the little magic tricks practiced by Ning Yi tried to be packaged as elegant and calm, they might still be considered frivolous and unreliable.

And funny programs such as cross talk are more likely to make people feel that they are not on the big scene.Based on Li Shishi's understanding of the literati circle, after reading it, he naturally found the hidden worries and made some suggestions.

Although she was well-informed and open-minded at this time, in Ning Yi's eyes, she would naturally still look like a girl in future generations.After listening to her, Ning Yi nodded and accepted: "However, the several stores in Zhuji were not originally planned to open up there. In fact, I hope that it doesn't matter that the people who come here are as philistine as possible."

"Oh?" Li Shishi looked a little puzzled.

"Heh, Zhuji is not taking the high-end path, I will try my best to take the middle-end or low-end direction. There are still a lot of businesses to be combined with Zhuji... But these are just ideas now, not It's too good to say, I just want to have as much influence as possible." When he said this, he paused slightly, "By the way, you were in the Taiwei's mansion yesterday, what happened to Gao Muen?"

Li Shishi was stunned for a while, then blinked his eyes: "That guy, did he come over to make trouble?"

"Not yet, I just heard about it."

"It's nothing." The teacher held up the teacup and smiled, his fingers were green and white, "He...he didn't dare to touch me. I have been in the brothel for so many years, and there is always a way to deal with these things."

"That slap on your face isn't very convincing."

The teacher tilted his head and smiled: "Does Liheng want to vent my anger?"

"Oh, I'm afraid I can't do it with Gao Muen..." Ning Yi smiled, feeling more favorable towards the woman in front of him.

A person in the dust knows best is the psychology of manipulating others. If she casually said "you don't have to worry about me" at this time, the other party will usually not be able to show her face, and she will inevitably carry the matter on her body, but since she said "you need to help me" Am I angry?" But it often makes people calm down, indicating that the other party is really thinking about their own side.

After the teacher said that, he shook his head: "The Taiwei's mansion is powerful, and it depends on the appreciation of the current emperor. I also know that you have the ability, Liheng, but you really don't have to worry about this matter. You have the ability. , I'm also very good. The name Li Shishi is said to be Hua Kui, but people look at you highly, that's it, people don't give face, after all, she's a dusty woman. Over the years, I'm not the first to make people embarrassed. It's not the first time I've been slapped in the face, and I've been beaten. Sometimes I'm forced to drink, and I vomit, and I have to laugh and vomit. Yesterday at the Taiwei's mansion, that Gao Yanei also took advantage of the situation. I was mad and was stopped by the captain, so I took the opportunity to run away. Now that I run away, it will be fine."

She looked up at Ning Yi, with a smile in her eyes, but she was also quite serious: "If this matter is spread on others, I may still want to pretend to be pitiful. But Liheng, Hezhong, you are different from others, I Just a few of you friends. And Liheng, you are well-informed, just tell you the truth. I am an oiran, and you are a big businessman, so you will definitely understand."

When she said this, her expression was relaxed and natural. Compared with the previous contacts, it was different. Obviously, yesterday's events still had some influence on her.Ning Yi thought about it for a while, but didn't take advantage of it and nodded.After a while, he smiled and said, "The most troublesome thing about Gao Muen is that no matter what you pay to kill him, it will not be worth it in the end, but he can bring a lot of trouble to people."

This is interesting, Li Shishi laughed: "However you have formed a grudge with him, you should be careful."

"There is a way." Ning Yi nodded, "However, apart from the face, it didn't hurt anywhere else. It looks serious. I didn't notice it before."

The teacher shook his head: "There is no other place, this is not serious."

"It hasn't disappeared after a day and a night, so don't give up."

"It's not because it's serious." Shishi reached out and nodded his cheek and smiled, "Because I'm tender."

It was the first time that Ning Yi discovered that Li Shishi had such an interesting side.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Ning Yi didn't mention Gao Muen's matter again. Li Shishi obviously took this as a sign that he humbly accepted the opinion.In a society where class differences are extremely obvious, people are more able to accept the fact that the situation is stronger than people.

This evening, until the guests left one after another, Gao Muen, who threatened to smash the venue, did not appear. Song Yongping returned home, guessing that Ning Yi may have stifled the matter in the bud, but this brother-in-law, I feel a bit profound. measure up.And Ning Yi himself didn't understand, in fact, they didn't expect that the truth of the matter was not complicated.When Ning Yi felt that it was not worth paying the price to kill Gao Muen, Gao Muen also felt that paying the price to make Ning Yi unhappy was a losing business.

"That guy is a disaster!" Gao Muen was also quite frank to a group of playboys who had been summoned that night, "I've been bored at home for half a year! I'm finally back, brothers! Ning Liheng's guy, since I met him, nothing good has happened! It's easy to kill him, but if something happens again. I've only been out for a day! I haven't played with the girl yet. If you can't go out, I will die!" He spread his hands, "Everyone said! Do I look like an idiot!?"

Maybe because he didn't look alike, no one answered the question for a while.In fact, playboys usually have excess self-awareness and lack of vision, and there are not many real idiots.Gao Muen borrowed this question from Li Shishi at home, and said that he was going to trouble Ning Yi. Finally, Gao Qiu acquiesced and allowed him to go out. He didn't want to be locked up immediately. A clever man behind the scenes that will never be discovered.

Before long, everyone came up with a lot of ideas, and then went to play with women happily...
