Chapter Thirty-One: I See Han Li's Heart
Seeing the two of them walking into the door, Pei Zonghao thought to himself, "Little Princess? Could it be Mu Feng Mingyue, the little princess they talk about?"
When he thought of his wife whom he would most likely marry in the future, Pei Zonghao immediately wanted to go in and see his "fiancee" and by the way he could see this so-called poetry meeting.
Pei Zonghao walked towards the gate of Deyi Tower and came to the door. He glanced at the door. The path was long and deep, and jade railings were everywhere in the courtyard, which was very luxurious. A faint fragrance came from the door, and it was hard to tell whether it was the fragrance of powder or the fragrance of a woman.
Haonu at the door looked up and down at Pei Zonghao, feeling that Pei Zonghao had a good eye, but when he looked at Pei Zonghao's dress, he didn't look like he was from a poor family. When Haonu moved his eyes to Pei Zonghao's waist, he immediately smiled happily, "Oh! Is this the Immortal Master who came here? Please come inside! Please come inside!"
This Deyilou is worthy of being a high-end place of elegance. The noble slaves' vision and smooth attitude towards things are no worse than the butlers of some wealthy families.
"Do you recognize the Qiankun Bag?" Pei Zonghao's tone was calm, without any emotional fluctuations, which made Haonu unable to figure out the way.
"Recognize it. The eldest son Zeng who entered before was also a disciple of Shenxiao Palace, the leader of the Dayu sect. He had such a Qiankun bag hanging around his waist."
Haonu glanced at Pei Zonghao again and said, "But Mr. Zeng's bag seems to be much more beautiful and fancy than yours."
According to Haonu, his Qiankun bag is not as good as Mr. Zeng, so he must be less generous than Mr. Zeng. Pei Zonghao ignored Haonu and reached out to touch the Qiankun bag on his waist, "Well, take it."
Pei Zonghao took out an ingot of gold from Qiankun bag, which was 100% barefoot gold. This made Haonu, who was leading the way, open his mouth and his chin almost fall to the ground.
"I'm the first time I'm here, please introduce me to your Deyi Tower." Pei Zonghao ignored Haonu's exaggerated expression at this time, his voice was still dull. After rewarding a ingot of 100% of the barefoot gold, he did not look at Haonu again.
When he heard Pei Zonghao's introduction to Deyilou, Haonu suddenly felt something was wrong. He was blinded by gold and forgot what day it was today.
"Immortal, Immortal, Immortal Master, which immortal are you? Our backyard is generally not open to the public, and the front yard is now booked by Princess Mingyue." Haonu exaggeratedly closed his chin and his upper jaw with his hands, and stuttered to Pei Zonghao.
"What? Do you still have to ask the source when you come to Deyi Building to spend? Isn't it open to me?"
"You mean I can't afford it?" Pei Zonghao raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and a momentum that was undeniable was immediately emitted.
After so many years of hang out in Deyi Tower, the young man in front of him was the first person who made the noble slave panic in such many years. A grand sect, general, merchant, thief, landlord, civilian, and other great scholars who have never seen any noble slaves.
But now, the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person at first glance. The look he looked at him just now instantly made Haonu think more than a hundred thoughts, "Who is this person? I have seen him, the great general and master. No one has ever been like him. The temperament exuded on me has formed an invisible oppression on me. If I say I don't let him consume, will I die? What should I do? If I take him to the backyard, the boss will not let me go. If I don't take him, can the boss cover me? What should I do? Is he the emperor? The emperor cannot be so young? Is he the prince? But the emperor has no son! Is he an immortal?..."
"I, ask you something. Why don't you answer?" Pei Zonghao frowned when he saw Haonu not replying, and instantly the atmosphere at the scene changed again.
"Immortals and Fairies! Don't get angry, this is not the rule I set! Just spare me!" Pei Zonghao frowned again, and Haonu instantly felt a chill coming, which scared him to sweat on his back and beads of sweat on his head.
"Hmm? Then tell me, what's going on?"
"Immortal Master, our Deyi Building, the outer courtyard sells arts but not body, and is only for noble men to hold meetings and hold poetry clubs. The inner courtyard is generally not open to the public. According to regulations, you must first spend 100,000 taels of silver in the outer courtyard before you can enter the inner courtyard." Haonu knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and said to Pei Zonghao.
"Then can I go to the outer hospital to spend?"
"Immortal Master! Today the princess held a poetry meeting, and the outer courtyard was booked. You came from another place. You can't go in without invitation!"
"I don't allow you to go to the inner courtyard, and I don't allow you to enter the outer courtyard. Are you playing tricks on me?" Pei Zonghao frowned even more. Haonu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly felt a mountain coming towards him. His kneeling body was already crawling on the ground, and it was difficult for him to breathe.
"Young master, what are you doing? Why can't you get along with a servant?" At this time, a woman in her thirties said to Pei Zonghao.
The woman was wearing a gold-edged and red robe, and her makeup looked quite stylish. Her pair of willow eyebrows were meticulously painted, her skin was white, and she did not look old at all, and her charm was still there.
"Help, shopkeeper!" Seeing the visitor, Haonu felt that deep in his heart was dark, and finally a beam of light lit up.
"You go down, I will treat this distinguished guest myself." The shopkeeper said to Haonu.
"Yes! Yes!" Haonu said that, and stood up and ran away.
"Shopkeeper? This title is interesting." Pei Zonghao said to the woman.
"Little official, look at your outfit, don't look like an ordinary family's descendant. Why? I came to my Deyi Tower today for the little princess' poetry meeting?"
"Poetry Club? I originally wanted to go and see it, but I didn't invite it, so they didn't let it in."
"So it's such a small matter. Why should the little official get angry? I just need to take you in." The shopkeeper had long seen Pei Zonghao's purpose, and he was not trying to enter the backyard.
I have been operating in Deyilou for more than ten years, but I still have this insight.
"Well, that's great. I'm used to being in a remote countryside. Today I want to see what a feast of the poetry meetings of princes and nobles is." Pei Zonghao knew that the charming beautiful woman in front of him had long seen through her tricks and did not act pretentious anymore.
"That little official, let's go with me now." After the shopkeeper said that, he led the way forward and led Pei Zonghao through the Deyi Tower.
Along the way, rockery, pavilions, gardens, artificial lakes, and carved everywhere, and the decoration was even more generous than ordinary wealthy families. Pei Zonghao followed the shopkeeper's side by side and walked for a while before he arrived at the little princess's poetry meeting.
The shopkeeper brought Pei Zonghao to a rockery on the edge of the poetry meeting. The place they were stepping on was the flattest place of the rockery. The rockery was more than one meter high from the ground, just to see the scene below.
I saw crowds below, except for a few people who could have a seat, many of the rest were standing and drinking.
In the crowd, beautiful and beautiful girls from Deyilou were shuttled through the crowd, pouring wine for these young men and women, and they would get stuck from oil from time to time. The girls just blushed, smiled slightly, and quickly left with the wine pot.
"Little official, you don't have an invitation, so just stand by my side and don't walk around casually. I have someone to drink and watch while drinking. Can you see?" the shopkeeper asked Pei Zonghao beside him.
"Okay, it's best to bring a pair of tables and chairs. I'll eat and drink while watching." Pei Zonghao was not implicit, and he was shameless and wanted tables, chairs, benches and food.
"Okay, let me make arrangements now." After the shopkeeper's answer, Pei Zonghao bowed and left.
After a while, someone placed the tables, chairs, benches, and wine and food. Two beautiful women walked forward and bowed gently to Pei Zonghao, "Please, please."
Pei Zonghao walked up and sat on the chair. The girl holding the wine pot poured wine for Pei Zonghao. The girl next to him picked two dishes on the table and put them into Pei Zonghao's bowl.
The two girls bowed slightly again, and said softly, "Please use it for your husband."
"Hey, my treatment is no worse than that of the nobles and boys below." Pei Zonghao picked up the wine glass, drank it all, picked up the chopsticks and ate the dishes picked up by the girl in the bowl.
"Well, good wine and good food. Come on, continue." Hearing Pei Zonghao say this, the two girls started pouring wine and picking up food again.
At the poetry meeting, the little princess Mu Fengmingyue sat at the top, with the children of Chinese civil and military ministers on both sides. Pei Zonghao glanced at him and found that many of them were women.
"Do women come here often in Deyi Tower?" Pei Zonghao asked, pointing below.
"The little official still doesn't understand the business of our Deyi Building. The front yard of this Deyi Building is the place for the meeting. How could a woman not come?" At this time, the shopkeeper who had left before came back and explained for Pei Zonghao.
"Oh? What does the backyard do?" Pei Zonghao asked curiously.
"Of course it's a flesh-and-skin business." The shopkeeper did not hesitate at all and replied calmly.
"The front yard sells art but not body, and the back yard sells art and art. This Deyi Building is really a place that makes people happy!" Pei Zonghao sighed, picked up the wine in his hand, and drank it all in one go.
"Come on, give me the wine pot." The shopkeeper walked up, took the wine pot from the girl's hand, and poured a glass of wine for Pei Zonghao, "Please, please."
"Hey, I am a rural villager. Why should the shopkeeper treat me personally? You should go and do your business." Pei Zonghao faintly noticed something was wrong and thought to himself, "Is this shopkeeper's identity already seen through me?"
"I have nothing to do now, so I'm waiting for the end of this poetry meeting, so I'll entertain you here."
"The young official is young, so why do you speak in a pretentious tone? This tone makes me feel so awkward." The shopkeeper gave Pei Zonghao a gentle glance.
Pei Zonghao pretended not to hear what the shopkeeper said, "Okay, if you have a beauty to accompany you, why not do it?"
Pei Zonghao drank the wine in his hand again, pointed at it below, and chanted, "Under the stars, stars, rivers, sky, before the poet's poetry meeting. Walking back and forth, I felt pity when I saw Handan."
