Lu'an City, the capital of Houtu Country, the largest city in the country, covers an area second only to King Kong Island, the capital of the Black Iron Empire. The earthy gray walls of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info are tall and thick, and the gates are directly smoked black with wooden planks bound with thick iron nails, and are painted with waterproof paint. The city walls were equipped with moats, wooden bridges with bark remaining, hung by chains, the gates closed at night, curfews imposed on most houses, and flower streets and night markets were forbidden.

Most of the buildings in Lu'an City are as tall and rough as the city wall, with simple lines, no delicate and fancy, only strong and durable, and have the local characteristics of thick soil. The soil is fertile, cattle are raised and large quantities of high-quality wheat are grown. However, the grain was distributed first, first to the royal family, the official and the army, and then distributed to the local residents according to the population, and the rest was stored in the official granary. Nominally, it is forbidden to sell privately, but because there are too many eunuchs, there is a reward system according to merit, and the country of Houtu has a good weather this year. Therefore, it has become a trend to sell grain privately in Houtu, which is almost equivalent to public sales.

On the west side of Lu'an City, there is a closed street with a plaque reading "White Flower Dance". The entrance to the street is symbolically closed with a wooden fence gate, and the sign next to the door reads the opening and closing times, "7 a.m. to 5 a.m. in summer, and from 6:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. in winter." ”

It's getting late, but it's not yet open. Looking in from this end, there are few people on the street, and the lanterns hanging about two or three meters high have become tattered after a year of wind and sun, whistling in the cold autumn wind.

The withered yellow leaves on the ground rubbed against the ground, and in the distance, an old and decrepit woman in a dull dress swept the dry and crisp leaves repeatedly.

In the midst of this bleak wind, the wind of early winter is even colder.

A young girl walked over to the closed street. She wore delicate and lovely boots with a furry white edge, the patterns spread on the thickened pantyhose tightly wrapped the slender and toned legs, the upper body was a pink sweater that only wrapped the buttocks, covered with a ginger coat inlaid with white fluff, snow-white fluff wrapped around the neck and chin, small earlobes hung crystal earrings, black hair half-pulled, decorated with a large pink bow, reflecting the white and slightly angry face more pale, The smile that seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth was even more strange.

The girl held something in her arms with one hand, and with the other hand held her orchid fingers, she loosely held a pure black rope in her hand, and the rope led a well-behaved and cute puppy, and followed Bing Qingcheng closely.

Quickly walking to the closed fence gate, Bing Qingcheng wrapped the leash around the puppy's waist a few times, allowing Da Hei to get through the gap in the low railing. She took a step back herself, and with a movement more agile than an antelope, she jumped over the half-man-high railing.

It is said that this is a thing to prevent a gentleman and not a villain, and after landing on the ground, Bing Qingcheng pulled the rolled sweater, and his eyes quickly swept around, as if someone was watching her.

She wished that someone would watch her, that the goal would appear sooner rather than later, and that all this boredom would be over.

The paper on the lantern rustled, and Bing Qingcheng walked forward, waved at the woman sweeping the floor, and then turned into a courtyard that looked like a large one.

Bing Qingcheng walked into the backyard, all the way through the beautifully decorated pavilions and pavilions, and in the depths of the corners, there was a dilapidated two-story earthen building. She went up to the second floor of the tulou and pushed open the door to one of the largest and most complete rooms.

There was a small stove in the room, and under the smoke of the flames, there was a faint smell of mud that had not dried out, apparently the smell of fresh earth that had been freshly patched on the walls.

Except for the small stove against the wall, some ventilation ducts, two single beds placed side by side in the middle of the room, a small square table next to it, two chairs that were obviously not matched, and I don't know where to put together like the other furniture.

Wearing a thick set of clothes with a marked mark, Nayas lay on the table and wrote something seriously.

"I'm back, Roland Coco." Nayas stopped her pen and looked at the ice blue orange.

Bing Qingcheng took out the things in his arms, and they were two pies that were still hot. Nayas stood up, took out two bowls of porridge with mixed grains from the small pot on the stove, Bing Qingcheng picked up the notebook and looked at what Nayas had written, and then set it aside. This is Nayas bringing the porridge, Bing Qingcheng took off his coat and changed into a thick dress with the same number as Naias, and the two sat down and began to eat.

"Idath, I came back at four or five o'clock this afternoon and found you not there. What kind of work has that old woman named Mei Niang assigned to you again? Bing Qingcheng asked.

"What else could there be." Nayas sighed and looked at the six-stringed instrument in the corner of the room, "I don't know music, and I don't do that kind of work. You know that Mei Niang has been looking at us unpleasantly, either telling me to clean or asking me to go to the kitchen to wash dishes. ”

"You've worked so hard, Adas." Bing Qingcheng put down the pie in his hand and held Naiath's somewhat rough hand, "I said it, we don't need money too much, you don't have to do those rough jobs." ”

Nayas shook her head and withdrew her hand: "That's the job that man gave us, let it be. Roland Coco, I think you also believed in that man's plan to do the work I didn't want to do. ”

That man was the head of the house, Minver Victoria. Bing Qingcheng and Nayas have been in Lu'an City for more than a month. For more than a month, the two have been able to call each other's kana as skillfully as their real names, and have settled in the largest building called "Red Jade Lotus" in the "White Flower Dance" according to each other's instructions.

However, the next step is to go with the flow.

That's right, it's going with the flow. Nayas does some rough work in "Red Jade Lotus" that other women are not willing to do, and Bing Qingcheng goes out every day with a six-stringed piano on his back, ostensibly to sing, but in fact Bing Qingcheng has found an intermediary and has done several orders of business that the Victorian family is best at.

Bing Qingcheng sighed in his heart. She couldn't speak, and she couldn't tell Naiath, who trusted Minver so much. She didn't really believe in Minver at all, and she didn't believe in Victoria, the reason why she did this was that she had nowhere else to go, she didn't have any plans, and she didn't want to do anything in this world, so she didn't know what else she could do in this world.

Without Viktoria, she would have had to return to the place she hated the most, the palace of the Ice Sea Country, after her grandfather's death.

"It's coming." Bing Qingcheng looked at Da Hei lying at his feet, and said in a low voice, "Quantitative change will cause qualitative change." ”

Nayas nodded slightly, and when Bing Qingcheng said this, it meant that she had killed again.

"From now on, you're going to have to be more safe than usual." Bing Qingcheng said softly, but seriously, "I need to go out at night, so after dinner, don't pay attention to Mei Niang, and go out for a walk with me." ”

Nayas agreed, and soon the two talked about other things. For example, Nayas can already understand the note that Bing Qingcheng gave her, she can already look up the dictionary proficiently, and is practicing how to write words.

Today, as usual, Mei Niang, the little supervisor of the "Red Jade Lotus", was half angry with the top lady in the building again. I heard that they have always been at odds with each other, and this young lady named Yue Lingyin came to the "Red Jade Lotus" to perform as a free man more than half a year ago. Legend has it that she is very beautiful, proficient in the rhythm of musical instruments, good at dancing, and very talented, in just half a year, she has composed dozens of very beautiful songs, chanted dozens of poems, and even the writers of Lu'an City think that they are very artistic.

And this month, the name of Yue Lingyin is known to everyone in Lu'an City, and the dignitaries and nobles are eager to become the guests of the Yue Lingyin girl, not only in terms of money, but also in the performance of being able to get Miss Yue Lingyin's eyes, so that they can have the honor to have a face-to-face drink with Miss Yue Lingyin.

"That one named Yue Lingyin must have come up with something else, right?" Bing Qingcheng said in an unkind tone.

"Roland Coco, even if you don't become popular, don't be jealous of others." Nayas didn't understand why Bing Qingcheng gritted her teeth when she mentioned this person, as if she had some deep hatred.

"What is she going to do today?" Bing Qingcheng asked with a dark face.

"You know the biggest flower hall at the main entrance, right? I heard that Yue Lingyin asked someone to remove the round table and other things inside, and set up a table against the wall on all sides, and put things like wine for people to eat. She went to rearrange the stage herself. It is said that today, bodyguards will be called to guard the door, and everyone can enter after paying an appearance fee. Nayas recalled.

"If you like her, will you reward her directly?" Bing Qingcheng said disdainfully: "I really don't know who she wants to seduce when she does such a desperate thing." ”

"No, listening to Mei Niang's tone, if you like her, you can buy wine or send red envelopes to support her. Miss Yue Lingyin thinks it's too cheesy to give money directly. Nayas said, "But I've heard people muttering like you today, saying that Moon Lingyin has robbed them of their business. ”

"That's right, in the past, it was Yue Lingyin who led the 'Red Jade Lotus' to steal the business of other restaurants, because the boss protected her and secretly sent away a lot of dangers. But now she wants to transform 'Ruby Lotus' into her own home turf. Now it seems that she is the only woman who can sing and dance in the whole 'White Flower Qing Dance', and other women who sell art can only change careers, because when men come to this street, they can only think of other women when they want to hehehehe. ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter." Bing Qingcheng concluded, "It's good that we don't eat by singing and dancing, but I'm worried that there are too many nobles attracted here by her, and it may affect the plan that person gave us." ”
