For a while, a few people found a restaurant to sit down, Xi'en and Mo Lin were on one side, and Qingying and Xiaoshunzi were standing beside them.

Wearing a felt hat and a towel on his shoulder, the shopkeeper came in like a gust of wind, holding a tray in his hand, and put a plate of lotus root powder peach blossom cake on it, and shouted, "Our specialty of this place, if you don't eat lotus root powder peach blossom cake, you will come to Peach Blossom Ferry in vain!" ”

When Xi'en looked at this peach blossom cake was smooth and shiny, the plum petals were hidden in it, smelling a faint fragrance, it was really a good thing.

"The girl's family eats these best, nourishing qi and nourishing beauty." Li Molin flattered and pushed the whole plate in front of Xi En. Ma Jun, who was about to lift the chopstick, pounced, clicked his mouth, and looked at the plate in disappointment. Look at Li Molin again, people are already fully focused on the beauty, where else do they notice others.

"Didn't the white girl pass by here for any business?" Wang Boxian said curiously.

Xi En was slightly stunned, and hurriedly replied, "Exactly, there is a batch of silk business in Yunzhou, because of the large volume, I don't worry about others doing it for me, so I will go to see it in person." In addition, if you don't go out for a long time, you can also take advantage of the convenience to go around, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Li Molin hurriedly said, "Let's go to Beijing, you go to Yunzhou, but there is a way to go together, it is better to have a companion and take care of each other." After speaking, they hurriedly squeezed their eyebrows at the other two, Ma Jun and Wang Boxian could only helplessly express their willingness to go together.

"No need, I'm half doing business and half business, not like a few people who can't be delayed for scientific research." Although Xi En said it tactfully, but when he thought about the meaning carefully, there was no room for it. For a while, everyone used some snacks and tea, and Li Molin had to reluctantly say goodbye.

"Miss, it's time for us to hire people, why did you let Young Master Li go?" Qingying asked regretfully.

Xi En frowned, watching the twilight outside the window gradually sink to the west, and his face became serious. For a while, he seemed to have figured out the problem, moistened his mouth with the freshly brewed tea, and said, "Haven't you heard a word?" ”

Qingying was stunned, "What?" ”

"It's useless to be a scholar," as soon as these words came out, Xi'en thought about Li Molin's expression and felt funny, and said, "He is even more useless, he can't use it, it's better to ask for others than for himself, has Xu Huozi woken up?" ”

Xu Huozi ran around all night last night, tired like a puddle of mud, but he had something in his heart where to sleep, so he hurriedly took a nap and ran over to report. Hearing that he shouted himself, he knocked on the door and came in, "What is the matter with the eldest lady looking for a slave?" ”

Xi En stood up, the gold fan in his hand fanned the wind at will, and ordered, "I have already thought of a countermeasure, but I still need the cooperation of the two of you to prepare instruments such as gongs and drums, and the louder the beating, the better." And then Zhang Luo is looking for some little flowers, and they are all guarding outside the door of Wanhualou tonight. ”

Qingying and Xu Huozi both looked at Xi'en with a confused look, and Qingying couldn't help but say, "It's not to save people, why do you want to make such a disturbance, isn't it to startle the snake?" ”

"I went in alone to save people." Knowing that the two of them wanted to dissuade them, he didn't look at them, and continued, "I have practiced some kung fu in climbing trees and walls in the past few years, and I can save it when I go in, if I can't, I will sneak out again." After saying that, he remembered the past, but he became happy, "I think I was hungry at the beginning, I even went into the kitchen of the county master's house." That's guarded by the officials, so a mere Wanhualou is not a problem. ”

Xu Huozi said worriedly, "The eldest lady is not an ordinary woman, this slave naturally knows." It's just that the kitchen of the county government yamen may not be guarded, but the current situation is not the same, and it is better to think about the long term. ”

There was a hint of helplessness at the corner of Xi'en's mouth, "We are now uprooted from our hometown, with no backing and no rescuers, what else can we do?" So be it, you go down and prepare, and I'll rest for a while. ”

It was night, and the light rain that had been going on for several days finally stopped, and a few starlights miraculously appeared in the sky. As soon as the breeze blew, I felt a cool moisture rushing to my face. Xi En was dressed in night clothes, two starry eyes like water flashed with ghostly light, and he circled around the outer courtyard of Wanhualou like a cat, and finally saw a jujube tree growing next to the courtyard wall. "Whoosh," although he couldn't compare to a martial arts master, he scurried to the wall. After getting off the rope, he slipped into the yard, and walked along the base of the wall with the cat's waist.

The upstairs and downstairs in the Wanhua Building are brightly lit, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the beauty sings and dances, and the sound of the man stretching out his arms and punching is endless. From time to time, two teams of guards patrolled by, both holding wooden sticks that were half a foot long and wrist-thick, and some of them had daggers pinned to their waists, which were even more eye-catching in the dark.

Xi En escaped the courtyard, thinking that people must be locked in an inconspicuous place, since there is a song and dance field in front, there is only a backyard. But right now, it's just past the beginning of the card, and it's the time when there are many people, and I regret that I came earlier.

"I said that the leather dog, if the flower girl was beaten by the ** and her bones were broken, no one stood up to give an explanation?" A team of nurses swayed and stood at the base of the wall to rest.

"Cut, you just came here and didn't know the doorway, but as long as the girl who entered Wanhualou, she couldn't get out without squeezing a drop of blood? Let's just say that she is like a flower girl, she thinks that she can guard herself like jade if she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is not offending people if she doesn't accept customers, can she be spared? "What the dog said is a matter of course.

"Tsk, it's really a cannibal without spitting out bones, I got up early and saw a new piece of soil on the back wall, and now I think about it, I'm afraid it's the burial place of the flower girl."

"Where we are standing is not only how many bones are piled up underneath, but what do we want to do, we have to be happy and happy all day. Now in that room, I heard that there is a donkey face who has been prostitute, and the person who beats is not a ghost or a ghost, if no one has come to redeem it, I am afraid that it will only be three or two days. ”

After the two of them finished chatting, they went on patrol one after the other, but Xi En, who was squatting in the corner, felt a chill down his spine, and looked at the scene of singing and dancing in the Wanhua Building, which was a little calm. I secretly thought in my heart, "The muddy donkey was actually locked up in the girl's room, it can be seen that this person is really a scheming character, the more lively the place, the more difficult it is to start, how can this be good?" While thinking about it, I suddenly saw a few maid-like women passing by from time to time, dragging plates in their hands, thinking that they were bringing wine and food in.

Xi'en is secretly happy, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, I'm afraid that if you kill them, you won't expect that you will personally send wine and food. She effortlessly put down a maid, changed her clothes, picked up the tray and entered Wanhualou. Upstairs and downstairs everyone is busy with their own affairs, how can anyone have the leisure to pay attention to a little girl. She took the tray and searched layer by layer, but did not ask about any movement, and only looked for the deserted place.
