"Grand Eunuch is right. Let's change our clothes and set off." Ji Xingzhi smiled widely. It would be nice to go out for a walk in the palace. It was really boring in the palace.
Ji Xingzhi changed into an ordinary sky blue brocade robe, and the eunuch also changed into simple clothes. He called Liu Yang, who had already changed his clothes and was standing next to the carriage. The three of them, one carriage and one horse, left the palace from the north gate in a low-key manner.
Ji Xingzhi usually left the palace through the South Gate for the simple reason that it was closer to Xiao Moyan's Bamboo Forest Residence. However, since Ji Xingzhi had said she would not meet Xiao Moyan for the time being, she had to keep her word. After asking the eunuch for his opinion, she went through the North Gate.
The eunuch said that the North Gate is the busiest and poorest of the four palace gates. If you want to see the real matchmaking festival, you can go to the North Gate.
When Ji Xingzhi got off the carriage and walked into Beimen Street, she was heartbroken when she saw the scene before her.
The scene was really like a sea of people with loud drums and gongs, blasting firecrackers, waving red flags, and
The street was crowded with people, mostly young people, who were dressed very casually. There were many stalls on both sides of the street, selling hairpins, food, cloth, shoes... everything you could think of.
There are girls carrying bamboo baskets to buy rouge; there are men standing in front of a stall selling hairpins, hesitating with silver in hand; there are young men in noble clothes holding fans looking for beautiful girls; there are ladies with veils frowning and struggling to squeeze out of the crowd with the help of their maids; there are bold girls throwing flirtatious glances at the men they like; there are shy boys who muster up the courage to hold the hand of the girl next to him...
Ji Xingzhi was protected in the arms of the eunuch. Looking at the scene in front of her, she suddenly felt like she was at a rural New Year's market buying New Year's goods.
When Ji Xingzhi looked up, all he saw were heads; when he looked down, all he saw were feet. It was obvious how overcrowded the crowds were. If there was any riot, there would definitely be a stampede.
Suddenly, Ji Xingzhi heard someone around him say, "I heard that Anxianglou is auctioning off Miss Liu's virginity. Let's go and take a look."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately objected: "Let's not go. How can we enter the Anxiang Tower?"
"Yes, the entrance fee is one tael of silver, which is half a month's salary for me."
"Let's not go in. Let's take a look outside. It's said that Miss Liu is as beautiful as a fairy. Let's go and see who can win her heart."
“…”
Ji Xingzhi became interested and said to the eunuch, "Let's go and take a look."
When the eunuch heard this, he immediately said, "No, no, no, that kind of place with fireworks, how can you go there?"
"Why can't I go? I want to see how beautiful Miss Liu is. Those people praise her to the skies. Liu Yang, don't you think so?" Ji Xingzhi cast her eyes at Liu Yang, who was silently following the two of them. The meaning of her eyes was self-evident.
Under pressure from Ji Xingzhi, Liu Yang nodded slightly and uttered a word after a long pause: "Yes."
So, the three of them went to Anxiang Tower.
When they arrived at Anxiang Tower, Ji Xingzhi was stunned. Anxiang Tower was three stories high, with three big characters "Anxiang Tower" embossed on a gilded plaque outside. There was a girl at the door greeting them with a smile.
After the eunuch paid three taels of silver, the three of them entered the Anxiang Tower.
There is a high round stage in the Anxiang Tower, on which beauties are dancing gracefully with their sleeves waving. There are tables and chairs arranged around the stage, all of which are occupied. People are laughing and talking, and drummers are cheering from time to time.
