Chapter 58 Miaoxian Tower
There are quiet and lively nights in the royal city. The quiet places are like Chejia Lane. People in this alley go to bed early and have to get up early the next day to work hard to make a living on that day. The lively places are like West Street, which is the main road to the west of the royal city. There are tall buildings on both sides of the street and dimly lit.
There are many buildings and shops on both sides of West Street, but there is only one place, although it is brightly lit, there is no noise in the market. This is Miaoxian Tower, surrounded by elegant sounds, but there is no singing and dancing. The faint fragrance lingers in the air, making people feel refreshed. Zhang Wei and Feng Zhizi are here. Seeing the elegant inside the building, Zhang Wei was a little at a loss, and Feng Zhizi seemed to be more familiar with it. He raised his hand gently and a maid in red came next to him and asked, "Two monks, come today to attend Fairy Guiyue's dinner."
Feng Zhizi replied, "That's right." The maid in red saw Feng Zhizi's handsome face and said to Feng Zhizi gently, "Please show your invitation."
Feng Zhizi was stunned, looked at Zhang Wei apologetically, and then said to the maid in red: "I'm really embarrassed. When I heard that Fairy Guiyue was coming, I came in a hurry and didn't know that I would like to invite me."
The maid in red said with regret when she saw that Feng Zhizi had not invited her, "I'm really sorry, you are not allowed to enter without an invitation."
When Feng Zhizi heard this, he had no choice but to Zhang Wei: "Brother, it's my fault. He didn't even know that he wanted to bring an invitation, which saved his interest."
After hearing this, Zhang Wei said casually: "Oh, it's okay. Isn't your Feng family considered a cultivation family in the East China Sea? It's a bit of a reputation, why don't you talk about it and try it."
Feng Zhizi glanced at Zhang Wei and thought: Where is the reputation of me like you, the Sixth lay Buddhist Feng Jianting? At this time, I remembered to report my name. I thought about it, but today Feng Zhizi invited Zhang Wei, so he said to the maid in red: "Can you tell Fairy Guiyue that Feng Zhizi of Donghai will come to visit?"
Originally, Feng Zhizi said it without any hope, but the maid in red hesitated to help Feng Zhizi report it after seeing Feng Zhizi. Zhang Wei looked at Feng Zhizi's face, thought about his own face, and felt that God had allowed him to travel through time, and did not say that he would give him a handsome face.
The two of them were waiting for the maid in red to reply. At this moment, another man in white came to Miaoxianlou. The man was wearing white silk fir, with a white belt tied on his head, a green jade belt tied around his waist, and a grass stem in his mouth. His face looked young, but he looked a little vicissitudes, but he looked very handsome.
As soon as the man in white entered the store, he raised his hand very familiarly. Another maid in green came to entertain the man. The maid in green asked the man in white with a good manner: "Why are you here to attend the fairy fairy dinner?"
The man in white was not in a hurry to answer, bent his body slightly, looked at the girl in green, and said, "What a beautiful little girl, what's your name?"
Hearing that the man in white was so frivolous, the maid in green took a few steps back and said with a red face: "If you don't have an invitation, you can't attend the dinner." After that, he took a few steps back.
When the man in white heard this, he actually wanted an invitation. His face was stunned and the grass stems in his mouth fell off. He raised his eyes and said for a moment, "Wait for me for a while." After that, the man in white turned his head back and looked at the door of Miaoxianlou.
The maid in green was overwhelmed by the man in white and retreated.
Seeing that this person was a little weird, Zhang Wei and Feng Zhizi were sitting next to the hall of Miaoxian Tower, looking at the man in white intentionally or unintentionally.
After a few sips of tea, the maid in red had not yet returned, and another person came in at the gate of Miaoxianlou. This man looked like a middle-aged scholar. As soon as he entered Miaoxianlou, he was stopped by the man in white. The man in white opened his mouth and asked, "Can you ask if there is an invitation to the fairy Guiyue dinner."
The middle-aged scribe said with impatient look: "Who are you? What do I have an invitation to do with you?"
After hearing this, the man in white said without saying a word, "If there is an invitation, I will exchange it with you in the Manuscript of Moxueping, Boxizhou."
When the middle-aged scholar heard this, his face changed drastically. He grabbed the man in white and said, "You are serious about this?"
The man in white flashed over the grab and said with a smile: "There are fifteen and a half of his works, and fourteen of them are circulated in the world. One and a half have not appeared in the world."
After hearing this, the middle-aged scholar took out the invitation directly from his sleeve and handed it over to the man in white. He said angrily: "How can this invitation be compared with Mr. Mo's last work? Such a precious thing falls into your hands, it's really..."
When the man in white heard this, he took out a rather worn manuscript and said, "So I don't deserve this thing, it's appropriate for you."
After the two exchanged, the middle-aged scholar held the book in both hands, carefully turned over a few pages, and said happily, "I don't deserve the book Mo's book, it's just better than you ordinary people like you." After that, he happily took the book and left Miaoxianlou.
When Zhang Wei and Feng Zhizi saw this scene in front of him, they looked at each other. Although Zhang Wei came to another world for more than half a year, he also knew who Mo Xueping was. In the "Appreciation of Famous Works in Dahua" he bought in the bookstore, more than a dozen Mo Xueping's works were included in it.
The man in white seemed quite happy. He took out another grass stem from somewhere, held it in his mouth, and waved to the maid in green.
The maid in green came over with a red face, took the invitation from the man in white and looked at it, and said, "Are you Mr. He Wencai from Pingshan Academy?"
The man in white heard this and said, "No. So what? I have an invitation."
The maid in green shook her head and said, "It's not okay to have an invitation, because it's not your invitation."
When the man in white heard this, he looked depressed and said in great depression: "I heard that Fairy Guiyue has a graceful figure and can't extricate himself when she heard it, so she came here specially. Unexpectedly..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in white took a deep breath, sighed, turned his head and left, as if he had lost a famous master's book, which was not a pity at all.
Seeing that the man in white was free and easy, he came to him, changed him, and left whenever he wanted. Zhang Wei had a good impression of the man in white, so he asked Feng Zhizi: "Xiao Feng, do you know this person?"
Feng Zhizi replied: "I don't know you, but this person is free and easy, and I appreciate it very much. I will definitely get to know you next time I see you."
At this time, the maid in red came back and looked at Feng Zhizi with a smile and said, "My fairy is asking for the young master."
Zhang Wei cursed inwardly: You girl are definitely from the appearance association. You don’t open your eyes when you talk to Feng Zhizi. Feng Zhizi got up and went to the dinner together, and Zhang Wei and Feng Zhizi went to the dinner together.
When I arrived at the attic on the top floor of Miaoxian Tower, the moon is high and the wind is clear, and the wine and food are quite elegant. The maid in red arranged two seats, one of which was more forward to Feng Zhizi, and Zhang Wei was arranged in the corner at the end. This seat is very special, obviously only added, the placement is a bit crooked, and when sitting down, there is a corner behind the wall.
Although Feng Zhizi wanted to let Zhang Wei sit with him, the guest was as he pleased and it was not easy to ask for anything in this place, so he gave Zhang Wei an apologetic look. When Zhang Wei saw it, he rolled his eyes.
After sitting down, Zhang Wei looked around for a week. Some of the people in the audience now knew him. President Zhao of Wenju Academy was here. When he saw that he was also here, he saw that he was almost all literary monks were there. He thought to himself that poetry, songs, and beautiful wine and beautiful women are exclusive to literati. Alas, why can't he get into the circle of literati?
Feng Zhizi sat in front and greeted the two deans and some scholars. He was alone here, and even the sparrows upstairs ignored him. He lowered his head and ate the wine and food, looking at the maids downstairs, who were fatter and thinner.
Zhao Wenyuan looked at the sky and said to Yuwen Qing: "Director Yuwen, I wonder when Teaching Master He will come? I haven't seen him for several years. I will meet him today, so I must have a discussion."
Yuwen Qing said: "Realistically speaking, this point should be here. Maybe because of something, maybe it may be. Even if he doesn't come, I'll come to accompany you to discuss it. Do you still look down on me?" After that, the two of them laughed again.
Zhang Wei was behind, looking at the maid downstairs, but he didn't hear the conversation between the two old men. Feng Zhizi was in front, and although he heard it, he thought of the lonely man who exchanged the famous post for Mr. Mo, who should be He Wencai. But he was not a scholar in the academy, and as a junior, he didn't talk much.
After a while, the seats at the dinner party were almost full. Suddenly, the sound of the piano came into my ears, and everyone calmed down. It turned out that Fairy Guiyue began to play the piano.
Although Zhang Wei did not understand musical instruments, he couldn't help but be amazed secretly when he listened to the music of the guqin for the first time. Fairy Guiyue's piano sound is sometimes long and sometimes misty. In the blink of an eye, it is like a mountain flowing water, and it is like a cold and cold immortal.
I listened to a song intoxicatedly, and finally the sound of the piano stopped, but the lingering sound seemed to be still surrounding my ears, and it took me a long time to stop.
Just as everyone was savoring the sound of the piano, Fairy Guiyue slowly walked out of the piano room, and everyone was amazed for a moment. The white and tender oval face was extremely charming, and the black and thick shoulder length set off the temperament of a classical woman. She wore a dark red gauze dress, wrapped around the graceful figure of the woman. She moved her lotus steps slightly, and her delicate appearance looked charming when she walked.
She walked up to everyone, saluted to everyone, and said, "Little girl Guiyue, I am very honored to have the talented people come here. I just played a song "Entering the Immortal Looking at the Moon" to thank everyone for their kindness."
Everyone in front praised Fairy Guiyue for her high piano skills and resonance with the heavens and man.
Seeing everyone praising him like this, Fairy Guiyue seemed extremely happy. She picked up a glass of wine and nodded with everyone present, looking around. After seeing Zhang Wei, she seemed to have passed by and ignored Zhang Wei at all. Cheers to everyone, Zhang Wei also toasted.
After seeing Fairy Guiyue, Zhang Wei's first reaction was that this fairy had a very strong figure. She wore such conservative clothes and could make her feel the gully in her chest. Secondly, the fairy's eyes were so beautiful. She should have seen such beautiful eyes before, probably like the eyes of a star on TV. As a result, when she saw the fairy clinking glasses with her, she suddenly thought that her appearance was amazing.
After three rounds of drinking, the scene gradually became lively. The literati present began to discuss poetry and songs. Zhang Wei thought that he had not even recited "Abstract of Famous Works in Dahua" well, so he should not be embarrassed. While pretending to accidentally glance across the ravines, he tried hard to eat dishes. Other people's dishes moved a little, and Zhang Wei's dishes had already served some more of the maids next to him. When the maids saw Zhang Wei coming here, they didn't think about how to show themselves so that they could leave a deep impression on Fairy Guiyue, but it seemed that they hadn't eaten for several days. They were eating the meal attentively, and the maids looked at Zhang Wei with a little disgust on their faces.
