Chapter 57 Reminiscing About the Past
Although the sect is near Fengping City, Huang Feng actually rarely comes here.
For example, he had no idea that Fengping's fireworks and willow lanes were concentrated in the north of the city, nor did he know that the most famous prostitute in Fengping was named Hongyu.
Moreover, he had no acquaintances in Fengping City and only had some friendship with Tao Yansheng. After half a year, he planned to go and see if the second son of the Tao family came back alive after dinner.
After entering the city, the white crow stopped talking and rested on his shoulder, like an ordinary bird that was harmless to humans and animals. Ordinary people could not tell the difference at all.
For a demon pet like this that is completely dependent on people, as long as it doesn't cause trouble in the city, the people in the Monster Collection Department will turn a blind eye.
I went to a restaurant and ordered wine and food. I haven't tasted meat or fish in half a year, and I felt really itchy.
As a result, the food and wine had not yet been served. As soon as a plate of peanuts was served, Huang Feng heard someone bragging next door. From the sound, one of them was Tao Yansheng, so there was no need for him to go to Tao's house to ask.
Huang Feng threw peanuts into his mouth while listening to the conversation next door.
Someone banged the table and shouted: "Tao Yansheng, you have been hiding for half a year, and I finally caught you. Let's have a showdown tonight at Yuhua Tower to see who can enter Miss Hongyu's boudoir. Do you dare?"
Tao Yansheng replied: "Who is hiding? I am taking care of our family's business. I went to Zhaoyang to buy goods. My experience on this trip is beyond your imagination. I have seen a lot of the world!"
The people at the same table were very interested: "Tell me and listen."
Tao Yansheng raised his chin: "Have you ever seen anyone go to a brothel for free?"
Huang Feng shook his hand, but the peanut was not thrown into his mouth and hit his nose. This guy couldn't be talking about him.
Someone next door said: "Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, it is not a rare thing. Let alone high-ranking officials, there are not many stories of scholars and talented people being favored by beautiful women."
Tao Yansheng nodded: "What you say makes sense, but have you ever seen anyone going to a brothel to make money?"
Huang Feng was sure that the fool was talking about him, so he sent a message to the next door: "That's almost enough. Come and catch up on old times?"
Tao Yansheng, who was about to brag carefully, was slightly startled and immediately stood up to leave.
The people at the same table just thought he couldn't make up any more: "Where are you going, keep playing."
"If anything happens, please contact me again."
Someone joked: "What's the matter? I won't go to Yuhualou tonight. Why, after seeing the world, do you look down on our Fengping girl?"
Tao Yansheng was impatient: "Oh, Miss Hongyu can't be lost in Yuhua Tower. What's the difference if we go tonight or tomorrow night?"
"You have such a bad tone."
"You don't understand my charm. Wait until I come back and tell you...forget it, let's go." Tao Yansheng was a little carried away and was ready to go back and share the experience of the female ghost riding with him with these friends.
However, ordinary people are very superstitious, and people who bump into ghosts are often considered unlucky.
After all, no one in the Tao family's motorcade witnessed it with his own eyes, and the steward had already taken money to seal his mouth. It would be stupid for him to talk nonsense himself.
Tao Yansheng quietly came to the next door and was overjoyed to see Huang Feng: "Brother Huang, it's really you. Did you come here specifically to see me?"
"I was passing by Fengping and was going to ask if you were back after eating, but I happened to hear..." Huang Feng said, pointing to the next door.
Unexpectedly, Tao Yansheng was not embarrassed and said seriously: "Brother Huang, your deeds should be known to more people and amazed by more people!"
"Come here." Huang Feng cursed, and then asked in a low voice, "How are the girls from Zhaoyang compared to those from Fengping and Shulu?"
"Ordinary girls are all the same, but when it comes to famous ones, Fengping and Shulu only have one or two in a city. Zhaoyang is different. It deserves to be a capital city. There are enough famous prostitutes to write a booklet. It just so happens that I I brought some books back.”
As Tao Yansheng said this, he took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Huang Feng.
"You actually carry it with you?" Huang Feng took the booklet and saw "Hundred Flowers Record" written on the cover of the well-made booklet.
The name is a bit vulgar, but this thing is for the common people. As for whether anyone will get it, it is hard to say if the cover is replaced by "Imperial Examination Materials".
Tao Yansheng explained: "Aren't I going to brag to my friends and open their eyes? Before I even took it out, Brother Huang called me over."
Huang Feng nodded and silently stuffed the book into his arms: "You said you bought several copies, so I won't return this one to you."
"Of course not." Tao Yansheng showed a knowing smile.
Huang Feng thought of the two little maids in Liu's house and asked casually: "By the way, are there two little maids in Shulu who will join you?"
"Yes, Brother Huang, don't worry. They have been working at my house for a while. I didn't find out until I came back."
"It won't embarrass you, will it?"
"Brother Huang, where are you talking about?"
"Not long after you came back, how is the situation in the capital?"
Speaking of Zhaoyang, Tao Yansheng said with sincerity: "Busty and lively, the streets are narrow enough for two carriages to pass and wide enough for eight horses to run abreast.
To exaggerate, when walking on the road, a carriage will pass by, and the people on it will be government officials. If you are not careful, you will bump into a young man from a certain house.
During my time in Zhaoyang, I lived a very cautious life. I never dared to argue with others for fear of offending the wrong people. "
"Have you heard anything about the situation in the court?"
"I only heard some rumors that there was a fierce fight in the court. By the way, I also heard that for some reason, these ministers submitted a memorial together to a princess, which caused the princess to cause a scene in the Xuanzheng Palace during the morning court."
"And there's this."
Tao Yansheng didn't know Li Motang's identity, and Huang Feng didn't tell him either.
When he went back to settle old scores, he was caught by ginseng. He had expected it before, and he also reminded Li Motang, but he didn't expect it to come true.
It's a pity that I couldn't witness it with my own eyes. It feels like a scene very suitable for watching a movie.
Reminiscing about old times with Tao Yansheng, I learned a lot about Zhaoyang from him. If I go there in the future, I can be somewhat prepared in advance.
After chatting happily and getting drunk, Tao Yansheng couldn't help but suggest: "Brother Huang, why don't you follow me to Yuhualou tonight and let my friends know each other."
"What knowledge do you have?"
"As soon as you appear, the eyes of all the girls in Yuhualou can no longer tolerate others. Tonight, Hongyu girl must be yours. Let them experience what it means to be out of reach and what it means to be desperate!"
Huang Feng listened happily, stretched out his finger and flicked the head of the white crow on the table next to him: "It's also chattering endlessly, that bird's mouth of yours, learn how others talk."
Tao Yansheng was wondering why Huang Feng was talking to a bird. Could it be that he drank too much?
Just listen to the white crow saying disdainfully: "I am not a flattering bird that follows the crowd!"
Tao Yansheng was shocked, he was worthy of being an immortal, even birds could talk.
"I won't go to Yuhua Tower. I will go to Fenzhou early tomorrow morning." Although he was very moved, Huang Feng declined his proposal politely.
"Then go to my house. You are my savior. My parents want to meet you."
"We'll talk about it later when we have a chance." Huang Feng knew that this guy was feeling itchy, so he smiled and said, "I'll go back to the inn later, so you don't have to stay with me here. It's still too late to go to Yuhua Tower now."
"It's... it's rare to catch up with Brother Huang, so I'll leave now, okay?" Tao Yansheng sat on the chair and moved away.
Huang Feng saw this and waved his hand: "If there's anything wrong, leave quickly and remember to pay for the drinks."
Tao Yansheng then stood up and said solemnly: "Since you said so, Brother Huang, then I'm going."
