Chapter 10 The first time I entered the incense building
Mo Jinyan saw that Gu Mandong still had the heart to chat with people, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't let go of his face and took the initiative to speak, just stared at Gu Mandong at the door of Wanxuan Building without saying a word.
"Man, lead the way to the third floor. Gu Mandong glanced at Mo Jinyan and said loudly, the guy came in a hurry, but it was the guy who received him last time, with a flattering smile, and greeted the two of them to the third floor, which happened to be the box last time, but Jiang Tianluo and Jiang Hang were seated in the private room at the entrance of the building, but it was also a little distance, and it was difficult to conflict.
As soon as the door of the private room was closed, the maid who was waiting and An Shun were directly left outside the door, and Mo Jinyan sat opposite Gu Mandong, huffing.
"Master Mo, I, the victim, are not angry yet, what kind of anger are you?"
"How dare you say it. Who asked you to provoke that dead man's face, and declared war with him on his strengths, who do you think you are, that dead face is incomprehensible, but I am not blind, you said that one of your daughters' family is well involved in those dead people's cases, what are you going to do? I really think that you can anticipate things like a god, and you are actually ashamed, saying that you will solve the case of the embroidered lady red clothes before Jiang Tianluo. You're ......."
"What's wrong with me, what would I have done if it hadn't been for Mo Gongzi pulling me into the water?"
"I admit that I shouldn't use you as a shield, but you shouldn't go too far and make people worry about you. ”
"Worried?" ......Gu Mandong laughed so hard that tears came out, "Mo Jinyan, do you want to laugh at me?" Or do you deliberately say this, and think of a way to deal with me next time? Do you dare to say that you don't have the slightest intention of dragging me into the water today?"
Gu Mandong stared at Mo Jinyan directly, no matter how thick-skinned he was, it was difficult to say a word.
After all, at the beginning, he did have a bad heart for a moment, wanting to see her embarrassed.
But who would have thought that she was not flustered at all, and took this opportunity to make things bigger, so that he didn't know how to clean it up.
It's like shooting yourself in the foot.
Mo Jinyan regretted it, but he couldn't get it back, and now he can only hope that this matter will be treated as a joke and just laugh.
After having a meal here at Mo Jinyan, Gu Mandong left Wanxuan Building, and just walked to the entrance of the building, but he ran into Jiang Tianluo and the others who were about to leave.
Gu Mandong just nodded and left directly without saying a word, but Jiang Hang was very dissatisfied with Gu Mandong's behavior, and only felt that this was an arrogant and rude boy.
After leaving Wanxuan Building, Gu Mandong inquired about the location of the Qiao family's house, and accidentally heard that Qiao Yulong was unprecedentedly ready to accompany his wife Feng to return to his mother's house in Lincheng tomorrow, and he would stay for at least half a month before returning.
Qiao Yulong's abnormality today, coupled with such a hasty departure, although there is a good reason, he can't bear to scrutinize.
Qiao Yulong didn't come out, and Gu Mandong didn't see the time early, so he could go to Xiangmanlou to find out.
When I came to the Xiangmanlou, it was already nightfall, and the whole street suddenly became lively, and the smell of fat powder in the nose was a little unbearable.
"This son, please. The girl in the building will definitely not disappoint Childe. The taste of nephrite may only be enjoyed by men, but Gu Mandong doesn't feel much of it, at most, the smell of this inferior rouge gouache is a little unpleasant, so she pushes people away a little without a trace.
"I heard that the girl in the fragrant building is very good-looking, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I will be here for the first time, I wonder if this little beauty can introduce one or two to my son?" Gu Mandong chuckled and reached out to pinch the other party's chin, teasing one or two.
"Giggles, Childe is so bad. Isn't it good for the slave family to have a good job? The slave family can also play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
"Discipline at home is very strict, and I can only watch from a distance, but it's not good to mess around. If only the young lady could help, let me see the best girl here from afar. This bit of silver is taken as a thank you for the help of the young lady. Gu Mandong stuffed two taels of silver into the girl who solicited customers at the door without a trace, which immediately made the other party happy.
"Since Childe said so, then I will take you to see it from afar, but if there is a need for silver......"
"As long as the amount is not large, I am willing to spend it, but there is no way to exceed it. ”
"Peace of mind, just take a turn, it doesn't cost much silver. No more than twenty taels at most. ”
"That's fine. I don't know what to call the young lady?"
"Slave Huayue, I don't know what to call the son?"
"Gu Jiu. ”
An agreement was reached with Hua Yue, the girl of the Xiangmanlou, Gu Mandong pretended to be a guest and entered the Xiangmanlou, and she took her into the backyard to wander around, joking with it from time to time, and enjoying the scenery of the Xiangmanlou.
Although Gu Mandong is looking at the scenery on the surface, he is looking for traces of the red clothes.
Last night, the red-clothed soul appeared in the backyard of Xiangmanlou and was already very suspicious, but unfortunately she couldn't come in, and when she got to this backyard today, she had to look for clues, and she definitely couldn't lose to Jiang Tianluo, especially after the declaration of war, she was never allowed to lose this first competition.
Just as Gu Mandong and the others were wandering around, Gu Mandong suddenly saw the soul of the red-clothed body floating in at the door of a courtyard.
"Hanazuki, what kind of place is that courtyard, why does it look a little deserted?"
Hua Yue followed where Gu Mandong was pointing, and suddenly smiled.
"Nine Princes, that is the warehouse of Xiangmanlou and the wine cellar is located, the wine of the entire Xiangmanlou can come from here, in addition to the fact that there are more people during the day, there are also night watchmen at night, naturally there will not be many people. There's not much to see there. ”
"I see. Gu Mandong nodded abruptly and didn't ask any more questions, but he also left a trace of doubt in his heart.
Why did the soul body of the red coat appear in the warehouse and wine cellar of Xiangmanlou, could it be that she had appeared in that place before, and she was very familiar with it?
Gu Mandong thought about it, and did not rule out this possibility, and continued to walk around with Hanatsuki.
When I walked to a courtyard, I could see the soul body in red again, and the red figure was standing at the door of the lively courtyard, and it stayed for three minutes before it disappeared without a trace.
"What kind of place is that, so lively? Kumandong asked again.
"Giggles, if Childe wants to go in and play, he can do it, but he needs ten taels of silver to have a seat inside. ”
"Ten taels, it's so expensive. What the hell is that?"
"That's Xiang Gongzi's embroidery building, where in addition to the beautiful women like clouds, the most attractive thing is that Xiang Gongzi will appear every night to play a song on the qin, that song, only listen to it to know the beauty. At least half of the guests who come here every day come to the sound of Xiang Gongzi's piano. If Childe is interested, Huayue can think of finding a seat for Childe at this time. However, I am afraid that the silver will need fifteen taels, after all, most of the seats are already full at this time. ”
