After reading the note, Shanniang changed into an old woman's costume to go to the secret meeting with the dead, and when she came back, she brought another note.The previous one says that the dog's tail is on board.The latter one says that the dog's tail has been cleared.Shanniang ordered to go down and inspected the ship inside and out, but found no suspicious characters.The three of us spent the last few days in fear, and when the lights were on, Little Six shouted on the deck, "Wow, it's so beautiful." ”I also went to the deck with Shanniang, the scene in front of me was beautiful, and the helmsman explained on the side: "This is the most fascinating Fengyue Qinhuai in Jinling City, but girl, it's not the right time for you to come, Jinling City will have a dance competition on May 15, and the geisha by the Qinhuai River are preparing for the dance competition, and it is a little deserted here." ”The boat slowly docked, and suddenly there was a guqin sound from Qinhuai Tower, and the helmsman said happily: "The girls are really blessed, this is the drunken wood rhinoceros Oiran playing the piano, and on weekdays, I want to go to the drunken wood rhinoceros to listen to the flowers play the piano with the moon, and I can't buy it for any silver taels."
This flower is arrogant and arrogant, and most people don't pay attention to it. ”Xiao Liu couldn't help asking: "I've heard Hua Suiyue play the piano, but what does Hua Suiyue look like" The helmsman stretched out his thumb: "First-class good, no one in Jinling City can match." ”Xiao Liu asked: "Is there no one in the emperor's harem who can compare to her" The helm's face changed, and the good lady quickly covered Xiao Liu's mouth, and said very apologetically: "Please don't be at the helm, our master and servant don't know how to avoid it when they first arrive in Jinling, don't blame, don't blame." ”After the helmsman parked the boat, he also explained to us a few words: "Girls, Jinling City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, don't speak, be careful to cut off your head." ”We thanked the helmsman for his kindness, got off the boat and headed towards the bank of the Qinhuai River towards the city.Shan Niang pulled me and said: "Since I am fortunate to hear Hua Suiyue playing the piano, why don't you go to Qinhuai Tower to see what is going on" I didn't have time to think about why the good Niang, who has always been cautious, suddenly became interested, and was forcibly pushed towards Qinhuai Tower by the dazzled Xiaoliu: "A first-class beauty, I don't see nothing, I want to see how beautiful Hua Suiyue's face is, and it can compare to our master." ”I also covered Xiaoliu's mouth: "There is no one on the mouth, Hugh has to talk nonsense, be careful of your head." ”Xiao Liu sighed: "What's so good about this flowery Jinling City, so you have to be taboo, then you have to avoid it, I will suffocate to death in less than a month, it's not as interesting as fighting with Xiling and Jun's little overlord." ”Shanniang laughed: "You guys, when you meet, you fight and don't let each other, and you miss each other when you are separated." ”Xiaoliu walked in front of him jumping up: "Xiling and Jun have never seen such a beautiful night, when I go back, I will definitely show off in front of her, I guess she has to come to beg me to take her out to see the world." ”I couldn't help but laugh with Shanniang, and came to Qinhuai Building while talking and laughing, and the downstairs was full of people, and the building was already crowded.Several women stood on the street corner and were talking."
I heard that the drunken wood rhino held a big dance competition this year, and it is said that there are people coming from the palace.""
The dead ghost of my family thinks about the drunken wood rhino proprietress all day long, and she is dreaming of the name of Hua Suiyue at night, this day, I can't live it."
The good lady covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this, but Xiao Liu was full of strength to squeeze into the Qinhuai Building, but was hit hard by the person who suddenly rushed out of the building."
Blind your dog's eyes, dare to hit your aunt and grandmother."
Xiao Liu was agile, and quickly got up and grabbed the man who hit her.The man begged for mercy with both hands: "The hero spares his life, let me go quickly, and I will repay the great kindness of the hero in the future." ”Xiao Liu pointed to himself and held the man in one hand: "It's really blind to your dog's eyes, take a good look, does your aunt and grandmother look like a man with five big and three thick" The man glanced at Xiao Liu and wailed: "It's not good to talk about five big and three rough, your chest muscles are not developed enough, and it looks like malnutrition." ”Xiao Liuqi kicked his nose angrily: "Bastard, it seems that if your aunt and grandmother don't give you something powerful, you don't know what is called a disaster from your mouth." ”Shanniang hurriedly pulled Xiaoliu: "Don't make trouble, let him go." ”Xiaoliu was unconvinced: "If he bumped into me, I don't apologize to me, forget it, and he still makes disrespectful remarks."
I'm going to have to beat him up. ”I also stepped forward to persuade: "This person is inevitably a little bumpy in the crowd, Xiaoliu, let him go." ”Just when Xiao Liuxin was about to let go unwillingly, a beggar in tattered clothes and dirt on his face rushed out of the building, clapped his hands and scraped his nose, and shouted in his mouth: "Stinky boy, your legs and feet are quite flexible, run, I want to see if you can escape from this chick's Five Finger Mountain today." ”After finishing speaking, he also clasped his fists with his hands to Xiaoliu: "Woman, don't thank you for your kindness, just leave this person to me." ”The man was emaciated, and he couldn't resist at all when he was carried by Xiao Liu.Xiao Liu couldn't help but take two steps back, and looked the little beggar up and down: "Little beggar, you have a grudge against this person" The little beggar nodded with his hands on his waist and said: "This guy eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and owes Ben Xiaoniu two steamed buns that have not been repaid so far, you come to judge the reasoning, is there such a scoundrel" Xiao Liu sneered and kicked the man: "Dude, look at your dress that doesn't look like a poor bastard, you owe debts and pay money, you have to pay back the steamed buns if you owe steamed buns, look at your unproductive appearance, even the little beggar's steamed buns are owed, The people in Jinling City are too bitter and bitter. ”The little beggar responded again and again: "It's just that it's too unproductive." ”The crowd in the Qinhuai building was crowded, and the flowers in the building had finished with the moon, and there was a lot of applause.The little beggar plucked out his ears and stretched out his hand to the man: "I owe this chick a month's steamed buns, it's time to pay them back, hurry up, pay back the steamed buns." ”The man cried with a bitter face: "Today's steamed bun money was rewarded to the flower girl, and I will pay it back another day." ”The little beggar beat the man violently: "This sentence has been heard by the chick more than a hundred times, you have the money to pick up the girl and pay me back without steamed buns, looking for a beating." ”The man innocently shouted: "I soaked in the flower girl, and I didn't soak you as a girl, I said that I would return it tomorrow." ”I could see that the man was deliberately defaulting on the debt, and smiled and told the good lady, "Give this girl some silver." ”The man was anxious instantly, and he broke free from Xiao Liu's hand in three or two clicks, and hurriedly stopped the good lady from taking the silver taels from his sleeve: "No, no, I will pay back the steamed buns I owe myself, and leave the woman."
We'll see you another day. ”As soon as we finished speaking, the man slipped away from under our noses like a gust of wind.The little beggar was left with his waist crossed and scolded.Xiao Liu pushed the little beggar's shoulder with his hand: "Hey, everyone is far away, you save some effort." ”The little beggar came back to his senses and looked at us with a smiling face: "Look at you like this, just get off the boat." ”Shanniang hurriedly pulled Xiaoliu, for fear that her mouth would be fast: "This girl, seeing that you are also familiar with that man like this, why would you chase half a moon for two steamed buns" The little beggar looked us up and down: "My name is Lili, I am the head of the beggar in Jinling City, the guy you just saw is called Xiao Hongyang, a well-known swinger brother in Jinling City, a month ago he was a big head in the drunken wood rhino, but he lost his wife and broke the army, not to mention the deficit, and was thrown out of the drunken wood rhino, Then the bastard snatched two of my steamed buns and starved me for two days. ”The little beggar squeezed out two tears as she spoke, and I felt pity.Thinking about it, the man also admired the appearance of the flowers and the moon with the moon, so he ended up in such a dilemma.Xiao Liu was very curious and put his hand on Lili's shoulder and asked, "Have you seen Hua Suiyue, is she really that good-looking" Lili swallowed his saliva.Let's compare: "It is said that the flower grows with the moon, it is really a man who sees the heart of a woman who sees the spring heart rippling, nine out of ten people who have seen the flower with the moon have fallen under her red Luo skirt, and there is a nosebleed that has been bleeding to death, but" Lili suddenly scratched the back of his head, Xiao Liu asked: "But what have I been to Jinling, I have also been to the drunken wood rhino, I have seen the flower dance with the moon, and I have heard the flower play the piano with the moon, but it's a pity."
I really haven't seen what she looks like" Lili patted Xiaoliu on the shoulder: "That's very good, so am I, I've never seen Hua Suiyue's appearance." ”These two people really smell like each other, I heard Xiao Liu talk about Hua Suiyue a long time ago, and today I know that Xiao Liu, this guy, has never seen Hua Suiyue's appearance.Shanniang watched the people in the building begin to disperse, so she urged: "It seems that today's piano is over, Miss, let's find an inn to rest." ”After entering Jinling, the good lady began to call me Miss.Xiaoliu shouted wrong several times, was knocked on the head several times by the good mother, heard that we were looking for a place to live, and Lili enthusiastically recommended it to us: "The best place to live in Jinling City is Qingshe, where there are many literati and scholars, less wind and dust, the courtyard is large, and people are quiet, the only disadvantage is that it is only one street away from the drunken wood rhino, and it is inevitable that there will be some noise when singing and dancing at night." ”I listened to the muttering in my heart, this girl had just finished saying that it was clean and less dusty, and then said that it was adjacent to the drunken wood rhino.Contradictory.But the good lady said with a smile: "Then I will be tired of leaving the girl to lead the way." ”I pulled the good lady aside: "Sister Shan, it's better for us to be safe when we first arrived, this girl looks very good, after all, I don't know people but don't know my heart, don't go wrong." ”Xiaoliu, a heartless girl, had already followed Lili to the front.Shanniang pulled me to follow behind: "Because a steamed bun persistently pursues debts, it proves that this girl has clear grievances, you look at her dirty little face, which shows that she is not informal, especially the unconcealed temperament, she has no scheming and is likable." ”I wanted to say a few more words, but the good lady comforted me: "Although we have a place to live, after all, when we first come here, we can't leak our whereabouts early, so it's better to stay in the inn for a few days, and then live where we should live." ”I felt faintly uneasy, I always felt that someone was following me except my own people, but every time I looked back, the streets became less and less crowded.There is nothing out of the ordinary.After going back and forth like this several times, after we crossed several streets, I said to Shanniang: "It seems that someone is watching, Sister Shan, have you noticed it?"
Shanniang held my hand: "It's your own person, don't be afraid, someone in Jinling has already prepared in advance, and the drunken Murhino dance competition is not trivial, there will be many big people in the public prostitution hall, the most outstanding people can be sent to the palace, and the backward dancing girl can enter the public prostitution hall according to their own volition." ”I've heard people say that the difference between the public prostitution hall and the Qinglou is that the Qinglou can enter as long as you have money, but the public prostitution hall is different, and people who don't look good can go in and can't touch the girls inside.There is only one public prostitution hall in Jinling City, and the girls in it will be sent out as soon as they are over 30 years old, no different from ordinary people.The women who entered the public prostitution hall, although some were held by men.But the vast majority of them are thousands of people riding on 10,000 pillows.Compared with the public prostitution hall, the Qinglou is different, many of the girls in the Qinglou are poor girls, and the vast majority of girls with unique skills are not selling their bodies.There is no conflict between the two, and each needs are comforted in Jinling City."
Sister Shan, if I hadn't been selected as a dancer, wouldn't I have had a chance to enter the palace" I couldn't help sighing, the world is unpredictable, there is a legendary woman in Jinling City, Hua Suiyue, I'm afraid that most of the people who go to the drunken wood rhino also go to Hua Suiyue.The good lady also unconsciously looked back and said, "This year, Hua Suiyue will not participate."
She is the proprietress of the drunken wood, and she alone can't support the entire drunken wood, don't worry, everything is arranged, all you have to do is to please that person, not compete for the dance leader. ”I think so, even if Wukui enters the palace, he can't escape the fate of Wuji after all, and regarding the appearance of that person, Xiling Yue must have taken care of everything.The streets of Jinling City extend in all directions.We walked for two hours, and it was late at night when we arrived at the Qing House.Even the drunken wood rhino across the street only had a sporadic noise, and Lili finally clapped his hands: "It's here, Qingshe never closes day or night, so a few beautiful sisters are invited." ”The Qing House is really deep and elegant, and the two rows of bamboos at the door grow very well, which makes people feel more cordial.There is a small pond at the door, lotus leaf lotus, turn right into the place to eat, there are two tables of people in the middle of the night, one table sits a few bachelors in Tsing Yi, the other table is a person in the head to eat, a stack of peanuts and a plate of vegetables in front of him, very shabby.Seeing us come in, the shopkeeper was immediately pleasantly surprised from his sleepy state, and walked towards us with a smile on his face: "Good evening to the guest officer, how many of you are staying in the hotel or playing the tip" Li sat down on the stool boldly, patted his leg and said: "This dark place, both the tip and the store, the little second brother, is a good life to greet distinguished guests." ”The shopkeeper bent down and nodded: "Well, I will prepare three upper rooms for you, how about it" The good lady waved her hand: "One upper room is enough, in this year of famine, you have to save a little from between your teeth."
Xiao Er, come with a few steamed buns, a bowl of pickles, and a bowl of fresh meat wontons, be fast. ”Wait for the shopkeeper to go to work.Li Licai asked suspiciously: "Seeing that you don't look like you are fleeing from the famine, how can you be so frugal in eating and wearing" The good lady put on her smiling face and put the burden on her shoulders on the table: "It's better to be frugal when you go out, we can't afford to eat and drink in Jinling City." ”Lili sat up straight and persuaded: "That's reasonable, but it's really cold enough for the three of you to open a room, so you have to have two upper rooms, right" Shanniang sat down and poured me a glass of water: "One room is enough, our Xiaoliu has a habit, and he usually sleeps on a tree, but if he sleeps in a bed, he will not be used to it." ”As soon as Xiao Liu wanted to speak, he was pinched by the good lady: "Xiao Liu, are you right" Xiao Liu had to nod: "Children from the countryside can sleep on the ground, without a bed." ”Lili was a little embarrassed, coughed twice and said, "The three sisters are tired of traveling, how can I just order a bowl of fresh meat wontons, it's better to have a few more bowls." ”Before the good lady could answer, the table of Tsing Yi bachelors shouted: "Little beggar, come here." ”He leaned over with a smile on his hippie face, nodded and said, "What did the little brothers tell me to pour wine for the little brothers, and the brothers ate and drank well." ”One of the Tsing Yi bachelors reached out to put his arm around Lili's waist, and Lili turned around seemingly inadvertently and made him pounce.But it's actually deliberately avoided."
Little girl, can you sing a big drama?"
Li Li pointed outside: "If the little brother wants to listen to the big play, why don't you go to the drunken wood rhino to sit down, the girl there is very smart, and she opens her voice to ensure that the brothers can't sleep tonight." ”The bachelor in Tsing Yi seemed to have drunk too much, and waved his hand: "It's not uncommon to have a few brothers who are vulgar and vulgar, look at your crisp voice, if you sing a few sentences to cheer up your brother, this bag of silver will be yours." ”After finishing speaking, the bachelor in Tsing Yi threw the bag of silver on the table.Lili smiled awkwardly: "This little girl is a flower child, and I will continue if the little brother gives money."
But this kind of work is not a good job. ”The group laughed and turned around: "I don't want to accompany you." ”The bachelor in Tsing Yi staggered up: "Why, you are so poor that you are only skinny and boneless, and you are still tucking it." ”Seeing that Lili was about to suffer a loss, Xiao Liu couldn't help but move, and was held down by the good lady: "This girl's martial arts skills are high, so don't worry." ”I watched as a silver needle suddenly appeared on Lili's finger, but before she could make a move, a small pebble suddenly flew out of the house.happened to hit the head of the bachelor in Tsing Yi.The bachelor in Tsing Yi groaned, covered his head, and then let go, and a big bag was on his head.Lili laughed heartily: "This is a flying disaster, if you don't run quickly, the end will be miserable." ”The group stood up and glared at Lili viciously.The bachelor in Tsing Yi covered his head and said cruelly: "Little beggar, don't let me see you again, wait for the master to go back and send someone to suppress your little beggar gang." ”Lili stuck out his tongue at the group of people: "This little girl is waiting for you poor scholars who pretend to be poor scholars in Jinling City, it's a shame to be a scholar, phew." ”When those people were gone, Qingshe suddenly fell silent, leaving only the poor scholar dressed in patches, drinking a sip of water and burping.Lili seemed to be in a hurry to leave: "The three sisters are resting, we will have a period later." ”Shanniang grabbed her and took out some copper plates from her cuffs: "Thank you for leading the way from the girl today, it's getting late, you can take this little money, it's too little." ”Lili waved his hand again and again and refused: "Big sister, you are insulting my name as the first woman in Jinling, this chick never asks for anything in return for doing good deeds, but in the future, several sisters will see ragged beggars on the road."
Please also lend a helping hand to help them overcome the famine. ”After saying that, she ran away as soon as she slipped away.The poor scholar at the opposite table snorted coldly: "If you die, you will suffer to save face, you should." ”We waited for a while, and the second brother brought food.This bowl of fresh meat wontons was very refreshing, and after eating, I went back to my room to take a shower and lay down.Xiao Liu complained to Shanniang without a match: "This Jinling is really not as good as a year, and the little demon king has sharpened his head to squeeze Jinling." ”Shanniang smiled: "Miss Youjun was not a caged bird in the first place, but it happened that Taishi Niang was overprotective of her, and the more Taishi Niang controlled her over the years, the more she wanted to break free." ”Shanniang kept rubbing my legs, and I refused several times, but she said that it would be a dance competition in two days.I can only succeed and not fail, and I will be served by the good mother.Xiao Liu sighed: "To be honest, I really miss them a little." ”These words hooked my heart is also very uncomfortable, as if I was still laughing and chasing in the end of the bamboo clouds before opening my eyes, the fragrance of the hundred gardens seems to surround my nose, as soon as I close my eyes and smell it well, the suffocating feeling in Jinling City will make people breathless.After we were silent, Xiao Liu rounded up again: "But it feels good that the little devil is not there, and finally no one is in my way." ”Xiaoliu ate several steamed buns and held on, and kept bouncing by the window.These days, the good lady is working too hard, and she has to take care of me carefully, and she is also tired, and she usually echoes a few words, but she has no strength at this time.I was a little confused and took Shanniang's hand: "Sister Shan, rest early, I'll go to sleep when I turn over." ”Shanniang immediately became more energetic and rubbed my calf: "You have vomited everything you have eaten in the past few days, but this calf is still swollen, I should be able to get better faster when I rub it for you." ”I remember when I first met Shanniang, she was still a charming woman.From the stunning mountain villa to the end of the bamboo clouds, and then to the current Jinling, Shanniang is not like me and Xiaoliu, who often misremember her identity.But the good lady is handy, like a well-trained housekeeper."
Then it's hard and good, sister, I can't open my eyes a little, don't rub it for too long."
I yawned and moved slightly.Shanniang coaxed me softly: "Sleep, sleep, you will be much more comfortable when you wake up, sleep in peace, Xiaoliu and I will take turns guarding you." ”I was just about to fall asleep, and Xiaoliu suddenly shouted: "Master, Sister Shan, come and see." ”Shanniang walked over and knocked her on the wrist: "I've taught you more than a hundred times, why don't you have a long memory." ”I also immediately turned over and got up, put on my shoes and went to the window, Xiao Liu pointed to the two figures in the backyard and said, "Isn't that a dirty little beggar?"
I fixed my eyes and looked, it was really detached, and the man opposite her was the shopkeeper who received us.Xiao Liu slapped the window and shouted: "Oh no, we were fooled." ”:
