Dawei Fanghua

At the southern foot of Mang Mountain, towering Luoyang.

As the sun set, a group of people came from the east of Luoyang City.Due to the angle of the light, the mountains and city walls in the distance seemed to turn into black shadows.The towering palaces in the city are in sight, and the Dougong flying corridor is vaguely visible, complementing the sunset on the horizon.

Sun Qian and others, like Qin Liang, raised their heads and looked at the scene of the capital in front of them, maintaining their posture for a long time.The color saturation of the evening sunlight was very high. Facing the sunlight, their faces were covered with an extra layer of floating color, as if they were in the mood of arriving at their destination.

The road everyone came here is to the north, and if you continue walking forward, you will find Jianchun Gate in the northeast of Luoyang City.Qin Liang spent some time in Luoyang Imperial College, and he still remembered that there was a horse market outside Jianchun Gate.The hustle and bustle heard in the distance and the flying dust in the air are probably the smells floating in the market.

After the team passed by the horse market, fortunately they arrived in time and the city gate was not closed, so they went straight into the city.

Not far into the city, they could see the General's Mansion.The General's Mansion is located in the east and north of the city. Sun Qian did not forget to say: further north is Taicang.

However, it was obviously not the right time to go to the General's Mansion at this time. Chen An, the receptionist, suggested that Qin Liang and others stay one night in a nearby guest house until early tomorrow morning, which would make it easier to handle everything.Qin Liang had no objection. He had stayed in guest houses and pavilions along the way. The guest houses in the capital were definitely more comfortable.

A guest house is an inn. For example, there is a poem that says: The morning rain in Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and the willows are new.

After settling in, Qin Liang went to the yard to get water and washed his face with cold water. Then he lay straight on his back on the bed with several cases and let out a long breath.Traveling in this era is indeed more difficult. Even though Qin Liang is young and strong, he still feels quite tired after riding all the way down.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Sun Qian, who had said goodbye before, returned to the open door.Qin Liang sat up suddenly, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "General Sun, why are you back again?"

Sun Qian returned the gift and said with a smile: "Zhongming just arrived in Luoyang today. I have already ordered a table of wine nearby. I am here to take care of you. Don't refuse."

Qin Liang was a little surprised at first, but when he came back to his senses, he felt that there was nothing wrong. After all, when Sun Qian and others arrived in Pingyuan County, the Qin family also received them very attentively.But at this time, Chen An, the waiter, was not seen, and only Sun Qian came alone.It seems that the general Sun Qian has thought more carefully.Qin Liang found that he and the military commander seemed to get along quite well. Was it because he was a relative of Qin Lang?
Although he was a little tired, Qin Liang still responded cheerfully: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Then he said something to Wang Kang next door and followed Sun Qian towards the guest house's courtyard door.

At this time, the sun has set, the sky is getting darker, and the surrounding lights have been lit up one after another.The streets of Luoyang are not deserted, and they are actually not too lively. Carriages can even pass through without any obstruction.The business of Wei State is like this, and the capital is nothing more than this.

The antique houses were dotted with dim lights, and the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue. Qin Liang felt even more hungry when he smelled it in his nose. The thought of drinking and eating meat soon made his steps brisker.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, they suddenly saw a white-faced man dressed in brocade getting out of a carriage with a smile and smiling at Qin Liang.

Qin Liang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered that this person was He Jun, that Taixue classmate.

In Qin Liang's memory, this person does exist, but he has never seen him "in person", so this can be regarded as his first meeting.In his memory, He Jun was just a white-faced scholar, but Qin Liang was still a little surprised when he saw him tonight.Because He Jun's skin is so white, at first glance, it looks like he has put on makeup and powder.

He Jun shook the silk fan in his hand, came forward to greet him, handed over his hand, and immediately said in a joking tone: "My classmates and friends have not seen each other for two years, and finally meet again in Luoyang. Zhong Ming did not say hello first, but called People are so heartbroken."

With just one sentence, Qin Liang could feel from his tone and demeanor that this so-called old classmate seemed worse than Sun Qian, who had just known him for more than ten days.There is nothing wrong with joking among friends of the same generation, but when meeting an old friend again after a long absence, Mr. He's words will inevitably make people feel that the relationship is shallow.

However, it is normal for them to be separated from each other. Qin Liang and He Jun's origins are completely different. Although General Qin Lang once reached a high position, he is not Qin Liang's biological father after all.Back then, He Jun was able to make friends with Qin Liang, probably just because of the beautiful lady Lu.That's why Qin Liang didn't follow his sister-in-law's advice and go to He Jun for help when his eldest brother was in jail. It was because friendship was not just about relationships.

After He Jun finished talking to Qin Liang, he bowed to Sun Qian again.Sun Qian introduced himself and said: "I'm Sun Qian, I'm glad to meet you."

Qin Liang said: "I just arrived in Luoyang tonight and almost didn't make it into the city. No, I can only stay in a guest house for one night. I just waited for you to settle in before I came to visit. Hey, you got the news so quickly. ?”

He Jun said casually: "I happened to hear Chen Daishi talk about it."

Sun Qian said: "We are about to go to the theater to have a drink. Mr. He, would you like to show your favor and go together?"

He Jun immediately smiled and said: "It's hard to refuse such kindness."

Only then did Qin Liang know that the place where the table was reserved was a theater.But he didn't say anything, because the women in these theaters were mainly not prostitutes, but kabuki dancers, and they were expensive.This General Sun seems to really value himself.After walking along the street where the guesthouse was located for a while, Sun Qian pointed ahead and said, we have arrived.

The theater is a large courtyard with front and rear houses. In front of it is an attic on the top of a mountain with windows on all sides. From the windows on the upper floor, you can see the figure of a woman moving.The architecture of Wei State is very grand, and it is spacious no matter where it is.A middle-aged woman who looked like an old bustard called Mr. He by his surname. It was obvious that she had met a regular customer.

The three of them were invited to a seating area separated by a screen downstairs, with an indoor rockery decorated next to it.Soon small bowls and large pots were brought out, including cooked food, both roasted and stewed, and a large pot of wine.

However, tonight's show did not seem to satisfy He Jun, because Sun Qian did not ask any prostitutes to add to the fun.So everyone encouraged each other to drink, which was a little lively.After three rounds, Sun Qian suggested playing hut. He didn't know how to play those games with elegant orders.

He Jun looked a little bored, but fortunately he didn't show it much and could only accompany him to pass the time.When the three of them were all a little drunk, He Jun's eyes suddenly opened wide and he looked towards the screen.

Qin Liang was curious and turned his head following his gaze. His eyes lit up and he saw a tall beauty walking out from behind the screen.

The beauty's mouth and nose are covered with a piece of translucent gauze. At first glance, she is very stunning, but upon closer inspection, she is quite beautiful. For a woman's appearance, her cheekbones are a bit high.But what makes her very attractive is her figure and dress.She is tall in stature, but she wears a very close-fitting moon-white narrow dress, with a belt tightly tied around her waist, which makes her waist particularly slender, her legs long, and her breasts appear more bulging, which attracts people's imagination.Her hair was tied into a bun and she held a thin sword behind her back, making her look even more heroic.

In an instant, He Junxi smiled widely, turned around and said: "General Sun, it turns out that the main event is at the finale."

Unexpectedly, Sun Qian looked innocent and confused: "I didn't invite the dancer, I don't know who she is." Then Sun Qian asked, "Did you go to the wrong place?"

However, the beauty looked calm. She took two steps forward, bowed her head and said, "I have an abrupt body, so I recommend myself. Please dance with your sword for the Lord Qin to help you enjoy the wine."

He Jun showed an expression of disbelief, "Zhong Ming, who did you call?"

Qin Liang was also confused.Before he could speak, the beauty added: "I am not a dancer in this house, I am just borrowing your place tonight..."

He Jun's pot-throwing skills were poor, his face had turned red from drinking a lot of wine, and he spoke quite quickly, "No wonder I've never seen you before."

The beauty was interrupted, but her expression remained unchanged. Her eyes swept across the faces of the three people, and soon stopped on Qin Liang's face.She stared at Qin Liang boldly, obviously having guessed the right person.She continued: "I accidentally learned that Mr. Qin was in the pavilion, so I asked my aunt for permission to perform a dance for Mr. Qin."

Qin Liang asked: "Do you recognize me?"

The beauty's face originally looked aloof and expressionless, but now a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her tone became a little gentler, "I have only heard of my name, but I have never met her in person."

He Jun looked sour and said softly "Humph".Qin Liang wanted to lighten the atmosphere, and a poem suddenly came to his mind, and he said casually: "It's good to dance with the sword to add to the fun. It's not like the Hongmen Banquet, where you are suspicious of people with an empty cup."

The beauty smiled sweetly, looked at Qin Liang and saluted again and said: "I am facing the clouds, showing my shame."

Several strings played from the side of the screen, and then the sound of drums sounded, and Chao Yun's figure slowly danced, graceful and as flexible as a willow, and the three of them were immediately captivated.

The drum beat became more and more urgent, and Chao Yun's steps and dance also accelerated. He swung his rapier and made a sound when the sword struck the air, which turned out to be very powerful.Although Qin Liang is not as proficient in horse, bow, cavalry, and shooting weapons as his elder brother, he has practiced swordsmanship since he was a child and has been taught by local celebrities, so he is quite accomplished. Therefore, it can be seen that this woman can not only perform sword dancing, but also learn it herself. Passed martial arts.

Her sword dance was sometimes graceful, showing off her figure and mesmerizing the audience.Sometimes it spins lightly, making people feel light and happy.Sometimes the sword comes out like the wind, making people sit upright and in danger.The wonderful dance completely captured the three of them, and Qin Liang's mood couldn't help but rise and fall accordingly.

After finishing the song, everyone was still unfinished, until Chao Yun bent down and said, "I'm not talented."

Qin Liang immediately applauded and praised, and the other two also applauded.

Qin Liang thought to himself: Life in Luoyang is indeed much more exciting than in a country manor. There were entertainment activities the night before.Thinking about the past two years, when he was wearing sackcloth and mourning in Pingyuan County, his life was like living in seclusion, which was really incomparable with the situation before him.
