The twenty-second (above) partridge shop encountered a funeral situation and forced the late snow building to intercept the herald

The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills.

It snowed heavily last night in Liuye City, and there was a lot of blood last night.

In recent years, the fireworks and firecrackers that flowed out from the Military Industry Department of Liuye City sold very well during the New Year's Festival, and many merchants would submit an application for the next fireworks and firecrackers sales license no matter what business they originally did, purchase from the Military Industry Division, and sell them in the shops.

A bustling street market in the West End.

The old shopkeeper who mainly sells luxury clothing and accessories has always gotten up early, and the habit of the old shopkeeper makes the tellers, waitresses, and servants in the shop have a headache, after all, in the cold winter and snowy days, who doesn't want to rely on a few more tea times in the bed? But the old shopkeeper always arrives early to supervise the shop, and he can't be lazy at all.

The face of the horse-faced old shopkeeper who was about to walk to the shop was not very good, and when he usually came, the little guy had already placed the fireworks and firecrackers neatly in front of the shop for sale, but today the front of the shop was empty.

As soon as the horse-faced old shopkeeper pushed open the door of the shop, he shouted and scolded: "What's the matter with you? When has this been, why haven't you put out the cannon stick?"

The servant on duty who was scrubbing the counter hurriedly greeted him and explained: "The shopkeeper has already been put out, but it was out of stock before you arrived......

"Out of stock, although today is Chinese New Year's Eve, it won't sell so well?"

"The little one doesn't dare to lie to you, but early this morning, many people lined up at the door, and the brothers sold one box after another. The old shopkeeper looked at the empty corner where fireworks were piled up on weekdays, and half-convinced, he walked out of the door again and came to a newly opened branch of a builder on the opposite street.

The old shopkeeper knew that in order to promote the business, the builder had made a promotional trick of saving money and giving away fireworks, and in recent days, he would be full of fireworks at the door every day.

"Boss Qian, Boss Qian-" The horse-faced old shopkeeper called twice, and the boss of Qian Zhuang, who was sorting out the accounts, stopped what he was doing and looked up.

"Yo, it's the shopkeeper, this early in the morning, does the shopkeeper want to deposit or withdraw silver? or exchange silver tickets?" The owner of the Qianzhuang branch of this builder is surnamed Qian, and he is a short and thin man.

"Boss Qian, that ...... The contemptible surname is Li, not the surname Ma ......," the horse-faced old shopkeeper touched the long horse face that had climbed into many wrinkles, and explained weakly.

"Ahem, I don't know the horse...... What's the boss Li doing?" asked Boss Qian embarrassedly.

"Didn't Guizhuang hold an activity to save money and give away fireworks in the past two days? I see that there are no fireworks and firecrackers in front of Guizhuang today, and this activity is due to be closed?" asked the old shopkeeper with a horse face.

While continuing to be busy with the work in his hands, Boss Qian replied to the old shopkeeper with a horse face: "The shopkeeper came late today, and I didn't see the grand scene of a large number of people flocking to the front of your store not long ago, snatching up the fireworks and firecrackers. After robbing your shop, you have to come to let me sell, I explained several times, the village is to save money to give fireworks, will not sell, the result is useless, a group of people according to double the price of the silver two copper coins, carrying fireworks and firecrackers on the rush to the east of the city, it is said that there is a big bustle. ”

The horse-faced old shopkeeper sighed, didn't correct the salute, and thanked him. Suddenly, curiosity rose, and I decided to return to the Partridge Golden Building shop to call the servant on duty to prepare the carriage and go to the east of the city to have a look, but I happened to see a chariot coming, and the coachman was still shouting loudly: "The West District Jianshang Qianzhuang Station has arrived!"

The horse-faced old shopkeeper took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the cashier woman who accompanied the car, and said "no need to look for it" to the cashier woman who was looking for change to return, and stepped on a carriage nearby.

Staying at the east gate of Ye City, the guards tried to maintain order on the scene and not let the people get too close to the city gate. At the city gate, thirty wooden brackets were neatly erected, and each bracket was hung with a huge piece of paper, and each piece of paper had a name written in blood, and in front of the paper, there were either two broken arms, or a human head, and even a few brackets were hung with men's private parts.

This bloody scene that would have caused panic among the people, but the guards did not dare to withdraw, after all, last night, the commander of the guards at the east gate of the city, met with a scar-faced captain from the fish and dragon camp in the western suburbs, and reminded him that the scaffold could not be removed until the third pole of the day.

What made the commander of the Qianfu standard a little puzzled was that this tragic scene not only did not cause panic among the people, but early in the morning, the people rushed to tell each other, one spread ten, ten to hundred, and then spontaneously bought countless fireworks and firecrackers, and set off in front of the east city gate for more than an hour.

Fearing that there would be a stampede accident due to the gathering of people, the commander could only increase the number of soldiers to maintain order among the people and stop some people who were excitedly rushing closer.

The horse-faced old shopkeeper looked at the brackets in front of the city gate, as the so-called officials and businessmen are not separated, and the names of many officials on the brackets are not unfamiliar to the horse-faced old shopkeeper, and in addition to business, some dirty things that those officials do in private have also heard of the horse-faced old shopkeeper.

With a full face, the horse-faced old shopkeeper was also relieved in his heart, the last governor from the ninth rank was gone, and the next governor from the ninth rank would naturally emerge. Officials always like to give gifts, give expensive gifts, and when it comes to luxury gifts, the signboard of Lao Tzu's Partridge Golden Building is well-known in Liuye City, as long as you pay money in Lao Tzu's Partridge Golden Building, Lao Tzu doesn't care which mother you gave birth to?

The horse-faced old shopkeeper saw the name of an official who had a big appetite on weekdays and often used the power to lower the price, and then felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and quietly retreated in the sound of firecrackers, the shouts of the people, and the shouts of the soldiers.

......

In Lin Shenyuan, Shi Nianyuan listened to Liu Zisu's casualty report on the hundred ghosts in silence, nodded, and waved Liu Zisu away.

"The cool side of your personality is quite cold-blooded. Murong Shan stepped forward and stood side by side with Shi Nianyuan and spoke.

"Otherwise?" Shi Nianyuan spread his hands and said, "You got up so early, is the bed in Wuhou Mansion not comfortable enough?"

"In the army, I am used to getting up early and going to bed late. Besides, the monk doesn't need to sleep for long, isn't the eldest lady and the second lady already up?" After a pause, Murong Shan continued: "Yesterday, I heard you say that Madame was sick, and the eldest lady and second miss went to the dining room early, according to what the eldest lady said, she was going to cook porridge in person and go to Jiangtao Courtyard to visit Mrs. Wuhou. ”

Shi Nianyuan and Murong Shan walked out of Lin Shen Courtyard together, all the way to the main banquet hall, Shi Nianyuan smiled and said: "It stands to reason that you are not my mother's daughter-in-law?

Murong Shan also smiled and said, "I don't know how to take care of people, and I don't know what to say when I go, which will only increase my embarrassment." What you said yesterday, do you have any ideas for dealing with Xiyuan's Burial Palace?"

Shi Nianyuan shook his head and said, "Casually, the Funeral Palace is a huge Immortal Dao Holy Land, what can I think of a little Dust Micro Realm cultivator?"

Murong Shan saw that Shi Nianyuan was not wearing a snow-white fox attack hat on his head, and asked, "What about the little fox?"

"I've been with my mother all night, I know what you mean, but I'm a man, men always have some inexplicable self-esteem, I don't want Ruohu to pay so much for me. After a pause, Shi Nianyuan smiled and said: "Actually, I'm not qualified to say this, what she did for me, it's hard for me to pay it back." ”

After being silent for a while, Shi Nianyuan suddenly said: "How well do you know about the Immortal Dao Holy Land? The Northern Regions are close to the Northern Desert Yihuang Temple, and-" Shi Nianyuan stroked his chest: "It is said that this is from the Northern Desert Yihuang Temple." ”

Murong Shan shook his head: "I have never known anything about the Northern Desert Yihuang Temple. ”

"The Burning Sun View Xuanya Sect used to ...... like this," Shi Nianyuan learned the movements of Xuanya at that time, pointed to the sky above and continued: "Tell me how the Burning Sun Mountain foothills were ordered...... The foothills of Lieyang Mountain are the sacred land of immortal dao that has been inherited through the ages, but only Xuanya and the Seven Elders of Tianshan Mountain can be counted as the existing peak combat power, which is obviously unscientific. Yesterday, Yang Qiling and the others told me that this and that, I have the right to be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, but how old are you, and there are obviously many things you have seen and experienced on the battlefield in the Northern Regions, what are you making a fuss about?"

Murong Shan pursed her lips and smiled, "It stands to reason that you are not my Murong family's son-in-law?"

Shi Nianyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Phew! Lao Tzu is the most annoying word." ”

The two walked briskly, and they had arrived at the front yard in a short time, Murong Shan saw that Shi Nianyuan did not turn to the front main banquet hall, but walked straight towards the middle door, and couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"

Shi Nianyuan jokingly responded: "Qinglou." ”

Shi Nianyuan and Murong Shan walked out of the Wuhou Mansion, and after walking for a short distance, they saw the Gongyuan platform, Shi Nianyuan looked at the newly built platform archway, and sighed: "So many road cars pass through the Wanxue Building, the world is going down, the world is going down." ”

The two waited for a short time, then paid for the bus and went to the bustling market in the West District.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, if it is bright today, the seats on both sides of the carriage have long been filled, and Shi Nianyuan habitually pulled the handle hanging from the roof of the carriage, showing an incomprehensible and nostalgic look.

The crowd on the carriage swayed, and Shi Nianyuan swayed with the crowd from time to time, and his chest hit the two soft balls from time to time.

Murong Shan's words were a little cold, and the sound came into Shi Nianyuan's ears in a line: "This bit of shaking, as for making the Dust Micro Realm monk stand unsteadily?"

Shi Nianyuan squinted his eyes and quietly enjoyed it, and replied with a lewd smile: "Feelings, feelings......"

Murong Shan wanted to turn her body around at some angles to avoid Shi Nianyuan, but the carriage was crowded, and Murong Shan snorted coldly and did not answer.

"Smart, instead of letting others take advantage, it's better to let your fiancé eat some tofu. Shi Nianyuan laughed.

In the bustling street market in the west district of Liuye City, there are many places in Fengyue, most of which wait until nightfall, when the lights are on at the beginning of the building, the red lanterns outside the building will be lit up to show business, during the day, it is generally the fun time when the guests sneaked away from the back door of the green building last night.

As the most prestigious Fengyue place in Liuye City, Wanxue Tower has flowed out many stories of talented and beautiful people. As for how much of it is true and how much is false, who cares if it will come to this building?

The wind touches the embroidered curtain, and the wind chimes ring softly.

In Liuye City, who doesn't know about the Evening Snow Tower?

Who doesn't know the rules of Wanxue Building?

Therefore, when Shi Nianyuan knocked on the closed Zhu door of the Wanxue Building, and after waiting for a while, there was a moth with tired eyebrows and eyes full of tiredness, and his clothes were half-open, and he opened a crack in the door.

Those who dare to knock on the Zhu door of Wanxue Tower during the day are not disgusted with life, but naturally have other identities.

Shi Nianyuan handed out a token, the delicate moth took it and looked at it, the tiredness on his face suddenly dissipated, he opened the Zhu Gate with a frightened face, respectfully welcomed Shi Nianyuan and Murong Shan in, waited for the two to step in, and then closed the Zhu Gate again, and then trotted all the way to the backyard.

Murong Shan looked up and down left and right at the evening snow building, the ceiling of the hall was very high, thinking that it was to open up the floor partition between the first and second floors, on the high ceiling, hanging down the pine-like lampstand, all kinds of lanterns on the lamp stand are different, and the Taoist embroidered with delicate embroidery is connected to the left and right, which not only shows the spirit of the colorful clouds crossing the stars, but also shows the charm of the soft red burning candles. As far as the eye can see, the wood ornaments are all blood-shirted mahogany, and there is a huge incense burner at each corner of the hall, and the incense mist lingers in the hall.

Since it was morning, I didn't see any benefactors, except for Shi Nianyuan and Murong Shan in the hall, there were no outsiders, Shi Nianyuan led Murong Shan to walk upstairs from the spiral staircase in the house, and after walking to the third floor, he walked straight to the Tianzi wing.

Push open the door, the Tianzi chamber is very spacious, the center is a few feet down the square Qiongtai, the edge of the Qiongtai is carved with white jade with different animal heads, these beast heads are unified, all of them are open jaw movements, the mouth continues to spit out the incense mist, the periphery of the Qiongtai, a translucent silk curtain will cover the Qiongtai, and you can vaguely see the various musical instruments placed in it.

"In the Tianzi wing of the Evening Snow Building, only Qing Qian is allowed to enter, and prostitutes are not allowed to come out. A song of Qiongtai is worth 10,000 gold, and then look at the surrounding pedestals, any chair and stool is not less than a hundred taels of gold. Shi Nianyuan pointed to the tree-like private room that stretched out from the four walls: "Those Qionglou, even if you have money, you may not be able to enter." Shi Nianyuan took Murong Shan to the front of Qiongtai, which was a much more noble and elegant pedestal.

Shi Nianyuan walked to a chair, sat down, and comfortably embedded himself in the soft wadding: "Tsk...... Staying in this kind of place for a long time can really make people no longer want to touch the outside world. ”

Murong Shan sat on the other chair: "You are very familiar, and according to what you just said, why is such an important place unguarded, allowing you to set foot at will like this." ”

Shi Nianyuan rolled his eyes and said: "The unruly ones have been thrown into the Youxi River to feed the fish, so naturally no one dares to touch the moldy head." As for why I'm so familiar with it, why am I not familiar with my own store?"

The door of the Tianzi wing room was pushed open, and a charming woman in a big red dress walked in, and the beautiful woman came to Shi Nianyuan and half-knelt and saluted: "Young master." ”

Shi Nianyuan nodded and said, "Take out the information above the level in the near future and take a look." ”

The beautiful woman in the red dress took out a stack of silk scarves from her chest, Shi Nianyuan sighed, glanced at Murong Shan with slanted eyes, and took the silk scarf and complained: "Red makeup, your information always has a milky fragrance." ”

The beautiful woman's eyebrows were affectionate, and she glanced at Shi Nianyuan with disgust.

Murong Shan kept her eyes calm and watched in silence.

Shi Nianyuan looked at the small characters on the silk scarf, and said abruptly: "The action is quite fast, and even the information of the hundred ghosts traveling at night is available." ”

The beautiful woman in the red dress who was called by Shi Nianyuan with red makeup nodded and said, "As the young master's direct subordinate intelligence department, Wanxuelou naturally can't take money and not do things. Hong Makeup paused, and continued in a voice as greasy as honey: "Men in bed, they always say a lot of things that they don't usually say, among the officials who died last night, there are always some friends and enemies of benefactors, and there are many people who came to steal fishy celebrations in the middle of the night last night, but there are a lot of people, and the young master is very good." ”

Shi Nianyuan waved his hand: "I didn't deliberately hide it, I know that it is not difficult for me to do it, don't show off your ability to do things in this way." ”

The beautiful woman's heart trembled: "I don't dare to wear red makeup." ”

The two plain-shirted young men took tea and wine on the table in front of Shi Nianyuan, and saw that the beautiful woman in the red dress had been kneeling on the ground, not daring to read and say more, and they didn't even dare to guess who the gorgeous boy was, so they hurriedly retreated in fear.

Shi Nianyuan finished flipping through the silk scarf, took a sip of wine, and said, "Recently, I have paid more attention to the information of outsiders. Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and Shi Nianyuan continued: "Especially from the direction of Qiyi. ”

The beautiful woman quietly climbed onto one of Shi Nianyuan's feet with a pair of softness, and said softly: "Red makeup can be saved." ”

Shi Nianyuan raised his foot, hooked the beautiful woman's fat powder face with his toes, and turned it to Murong Shan: "Also, when you seduce a man, should you consider the feelings of other people's fiancées?"

The eyes of the beautiful woman in the red dress shrank, her face turned into a shocked face, and she knelt down to Murong Shan in panic: "I don't know that the young lady has arrived, I beg the young lady Haihan." ”

Murong Shan was still expressionless.

Not seeing the information he wanted, Shi Nianyuan stood up and beckoned to Murong Shan: "Let's go, go back." ”

After saying that, he walked out first, Murong Shan followed silently, and when he was about to walk out of the Tianzi Wing, Shi Nianyuan's voice came back coldly: "Boss, do what you should do, and naturally you will be rich and prosperous all your life." Some things can be meant at once, but if they cross the line, they will not be beautiful. ”

When Shi Nianyuan and Murong Shan walked down the stairs, Murong Shan opened his mouth and asked, "A pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows, a little red lips and ten thousand tastes, are you dirty?"

Shi Nianyuan shook his head and smiled: "You go to a restaurant to eat, those chopsticks and spoons are not tasted by ten thousand people, aren't they all used? ”

Murong Shan, who had been expressionless, finally frowned slightly: "You mean, you will also come as a prostitute?"

Shi Nianyuan stopped, turned his head, Danfeng's eyes were full of playful smiles: "What do you say?"

Out of the Wanxue Tower, Murong Shan followed Shi Nianyuan silently until Shi Nianyuan suddenly stopped in front of the Partridge Golden Tower.

"I left the table early yesterday at dinner, and I forgot about the bearded man who had been promised to name the sword. People have been wielding a sword for twenty years, and I can't show too much, thinking about picking a bunch of sword spikes to wrap around, and then thinking of a nice name, to ask him if he likes it. The azure long sword appeared in Shi Nianyuan's hand, Shi Nianyuan looked at Murong Shan, and continued: "The tassel of your silver spear seems to have also broken into a tattered diaper, pick a new one?"

Murong Shan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Shi Nianyuan to notice such a small detail, nodded and said, "But it's disrespectful." ”
