【030】After dusk (below)
An evening party? Shen You was stunned after hearing this, to tell the truth, since he ran the rivers and lakes with hundreds of thousands, most of the things that Shen You has come into contact with are the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes, because of the relationship between Su Qingqian and Zou Qingmei, more or less Shen You has also come into contact with some so-called luxury in the upper echelons of society.
But at this moment, hearing Wen Ci bring it up, Shen You knew that the Dao was definitely not so simple, and sure enough, seeing Shen You's slightly questioning expression, Wen Ci didn't even stop and continued: "Today's gathering can be said to cover the more valuable young men and women in Sijiu City, and even people from other places. ”
Without Wen Ci continuing, Shen You understood that most of the people who appeared tonight were the second generation of red or the second generation of rich, after all, these people were far away from him, and just when he wanted to excuse himself, Wen Ci seemed to see what he meant, and said something softly in his ear.
After listening to Wen Ci, Shen You nodded and said to Wen Ci, "How can I go?" With you? ”
"I'll help you get tickets, and then you can observe first, and if there is someone you're interested in, you can signal me, and then I'll take you over to get to know each other up close."
"That's great, but let's be honest, it might not be my face when the night passes, is there a problem?"
Wen Ci covered his mouth with his hand in a little panic after hearing this, obviously he didn't expect that there would be such a thing as Yi Rong in the new era, Shen You naturally didn't want to explain, just stretched out three fingers to Wen Ci and first touched his forehead and then put it on his chest to make a vertical "mountain" shaped posture, and then said to Wen Ci: "If necessary, I will come to you and make this gesture to you." ”
The two of them chatted while eating, and after finalizing all the details, Wen Ci took the lead in leaving, while Shen You also walked out of the house after waiting for half an hour.
After going out, Shen You went to the mall to buy a few clothes casually, but fortunately, Su Qingqian left him a lot of money when he was leaving, and he was no longer the hairy boy who had just come out of the house.
After buying it, Shen You didn't stop, he knew that Lu Dao definitely didn't know how many pairs of eyes Lu Dao had stared at his tracks, and immediately shuttled back and forth in the old alleys of Sijiu City, looking back from time to time to see if there was a tail behind him while walking, and when he arrived at a relatively grand courtyard, Shen You saw that no one saw it, jumped into the courtyard.
The courtyard is relatively empty, because of the cold wind in Sijiu City in winter, there is no one in the courtyard, Shen You saw a small room similar to putting sundries next to it, and saw that no one noticed that he dodged in, quickly changed his clothes, and covered his face with a human skin mask, and then used millions of ointments left for himself to evenly apply it on his face.
Originally, in Shen You's consciousness, Mansion Nine should be an extremely luxurious place, but after really following the address, he found that it was not as he thought.
From the outside, Mansion Nine is low-key and unbelievable, and the outside is a slightly quaint blue brick wall, but Wen Ci didn't mention it to him at all, but told him that Mansion Nine has a door hidden on weekdays, unless there is a key card or a regular customer can only enter.
According to the invitation letter left by Wen Ci for himself, the two middle-aged men in tunics at the door respectfully invited him in after reading it. The appearance of the two men at the door made Shen You a little more curious about Mansion No. 9.
Shen You, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, can naturally see from his bearing and standing posture that the two men are by no means idle, and from the fact that these two people are standing at the door, he can guess that the people inside must be better at kung fu.
As soon as he entered the door, Shen You's eyes suddenly lit up, the all-Chinese retro decoration, and the subtleties of the carved railings and pavilions can show ingenuity. All the lamps are covered in the cover of a palace lamp, and the crimson lampshade shows a different kind of noble atmosphere.
After walking into the first floor, Shen You saw that someone had arrived before him, which was also very deliberate, after all, whether it was early or late, it could attract the attention of others, and only by coming in the middle as usual, not early or late, could it not attract the attention of others.
Mansion No. 9 is divided into five floors, according to the sign at the entrance, the first floor of Shen You Zhilu Road is mainly a place for drinking parties and exchanges, with leisurely ancient music, you can also dance.
The second floor is the place for the auction, after all, most of the people who come are people with heads and faces, whether it is gold and stone calligraphy and painting, all kinds of collections may find buyers here. The third and fourth floors are private rooms for drinking and entertainment, which is convenient for people who have a good conversation on the first or second floor to find a relatively quiet place.
As for the fifth floor, there is no clear signage, just four words added: "Please do not enter." This time it shows the mystery of Mansion No. 9.
After Shen You found a corner and sat down, he took a glass of wine casually, and took a sip while observing the people who came and went in the field.
In the south of the hall, there are relatively more people, it is estimated that there is a relatively high status person over there, many people have gone to visit Bajie, and the scattered people in other areas are either drinking or with a disdainful expression, Shen You is no longer a fledgling kid at the beginning of the year, knowing that there are rivers and lakes where there are people in the road, I understand that it must be on this occasion It will not be vulgar, and I secretly estimate that there will be a person in each direction of the southeast, northwest and northwest regions.
The waiters who shuttle back and forth are dressed as palace maids, combined with the antique buildings and crimson lanterns here, even make people feel like they are back in the old court.
After a while, Shen You heard a slight commotion coming from the door, and he also saw that some people who had been sitting there sporadically stood up with a little joy and greeted them, and even a group of people who were originally in the south also left.
Shen You drank all the wine in the cup, and gestured to the waiter who walked to the side wearing a palace maid's costume, and the young girl immediately took Shen You's cup respectfully, and without asking too much, she went over and brought Shen You a glass of wine.
Shen You took it and put it to his mouth and sniffed it, and knew that the wine he had just drunk was the same, and at this time, he saw a group of young people walking in.
The young man was very strong, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he walked with his head held high, like a lion patrolling his territory. As this young man walked in, a young man also came out of the original group of people in the south.
The young man who came out was about the same age as the young man who had just come in, but in Shen You's eyes, this young man was slightly inferior to the new young man in terms of temperament and size.
It's just that seeing this young man's miserable white face, his eyes squinting, and his smiling posture when he walks without opening his mouth, Shen You knows that this young man's city is extremely heavy.
I saw the young man greet him with a smile, and asked the new young man, "Brother Tiger, why did you come so early this year?" ”
"South Zhang North Dai". In Wen Ci's narration, Shen You also speculated that this young man was estimated to be Zhang Menghu of the Nanzhang Zhang family. I secretly sighed in my heart that it was really a heroic talent.
Zhang Menghu smiled slightly disdainfully at the young man in front of him, even if he said hello, and then walked towards the east side of the hall.
Sure enough, according to Shen You's speculation, everything is true, and when the time comes, it will definitely be the four regions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, each of whom has his own strength, and when Zhang Menghu was heading towards the east, Shen You just saw a flash of fierce light in the eyes of the young man from this angle.
"This person is definitely not a good person!" Shen You thought to himself.
It's just that according to Wen Ci, the younger generation does have some better people, but it doesn't mention that there will be a clear distinction and one person will sit in an area. What's more, in Shen You's heart, the four big families of Sijiu City can occupy four areas, not to mention Zhang Menghu of the Zhang family, who was born out of nowhere!
While he was thinking, he only heard a commotion in the crowd, and another person walked in at the door, Shen You fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually Wen Ci who was wearing an evening dress, revealing a snow-white neck, Wen Ci was wearing a royal blue dress, with a thin waist and round hips, which immediately attracted the attention of many people as soon as he appeared.
Seeing this, the young man sitting in the south immediately ran over and greeted Wen Ci with a smile, but Wen Ci did not say anything to the young man in front of him like Zhang Menghu, and responded with a smile.
Even though it was a little far away, Shen You still heard the name of this young man, Nalan Changge! According to speculation, it is estimated that it is a figure of the Nalan family, thinking that after hearing that after the incident in Shencheng, Nalan Changfeng was punished by the old man of the Nalan family to think behind closed doors, it is estimated that this Nalan Changge should be a young man who is now a better representative of the Nalan family after Nalan Changfeng.
Wen Ci refused Nalan Changge's kindness to invite her to the past, and sat in the west area, Shen You secretly laughed in his heart, after all, according to the current sitting position, Zhang Menghu sat in the east, Nalan Changge sat in the south, and Wen Ci sat in the west, there was only one north, not to mention other forces, there was a Ye family and a Dai family in Sijiu City, I don't know where the last one to come from the Lu Dao would sit?
Just as he was thinking, he saw a man and a woman walk in at the door, the man was handsome, the woman was pretty, Shen You looked at it, the woman he actually knew, Dai Luoshu who lost his wallet when he met on the train to Quancheng in Yanhai City.
It is not difficult to speculate on the identity of the young man with a somewhat similar face with him, Dai Hetu, the eldest young master of the Dai family.
Before they could sit down, two more women came together at the door, Shen You, who was originally sitting there drinking, was shocked when he saw it, the two new arrivals were not as simple as they were simple to know, and they could even be said to be very familiar.
The girl who walked in front had a beautiful face, wearing a bright white cheongsam embroidered with a golden orchid pattern, and suddenly it was Long Sheng'er from Shencheng!
The woman who followed her, wearing a green cheongsam, was Zou Qingmei, who surprised Shen You even more!
