Chapter 109: Small Gathering
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Leng Xiang Xiaozhu actually took a three-day holiday, which made Siyu very happy.
With the permission of Feng's mother, Siyu can take Xiaocui and a turtle slave to walk around the streets freely one day.
This is really happy for Siyu.
Since he came to the capital, he was driven to Tianxianglou every day, and only Yanliu Lane was recognized outside Tianxianglou.
As for the rest of the place, I haven't been there.
However, the capital is vast, and compared with the Fenglong Village where she used to live, there is only such a long street.
There are a total of 12 roads in the capital, and there are 24 squares, which are lined up from the east of the city to the west of the city in turn.
The place where Yanliu Lane is located is precisely Pingkangfang, and this Pingkangfang alone is almost where prostitutes are located.
There are three districts from north to south, and Smoke Willow Lane is located at the northernmost point, and it is also the most upscale district for prostitutes.
Located in the middle of the orchid lane, most of them have the Qiang people in the north, the Hu people, and the exotic orchids who are good at singing and dancing.
Located in the southernmost part of the mud man lane, most of them are the gathering area of the city's old prostitutes, and there are also untouchables from outside the city who survive here.
The three districts are clearly not subordinate to each other, it all depends on the preferences of the guests, and the most distinguished guests often go to Yanliu Lane.
There are also occasional guests who change their tastes, as well as those Hu Da Da go to Orchid Alley, only those lowly craftsmen and civilians can afford to go to those Clay Man Alleys.
From Yanliu Lane to Niren Lane, it only takes half an hour to get on the carriage, but for the Qinglou woman in Yanliu Lane, it will take a lifetime.
If a young prostitute did not find a home for himself and save a good fortune when he was young.
When you reach middle age, you can only go to Orchid Lane, and if you haven't earned a sum of pension money when you are old, then you can only go to Mud Man Lane when you are old.
Further north from the mud man alley, there is another place, that is, the Huaren Field, which is the final destination of almost all old and poor prostitutes all their lives.
It is often difficult for most prostitutes to escape from this shackle of fate.
However, for Siyu, she has completely jumped out of this cage.
At a young age, she earned money that was unattainable in other people's lives as soon as she appeared, how could she not be envied.
While attracting envy, it will also attract hatred for no reason, and Feng's mother was also afraid that something would happen to her alone, so she specially sent a turtle slave with martial arts to protect her.
Early in the morning, Siyu packed up some belongings and wanted to go to Xiren Lane in the east of the city to visit his mother and younger brother.
She heard Mu Shaoqing say that her mother and younger brother had a small house to settle in, which made her feel a lot more relieved.
She packed up everything and just waited for Mu Shaoqing to come.
She had been waiting for this day for a long time, thinking about her mother and brother, and her heart was pounding with excitement.
But she waited for a long time and didn't see Mu Shaoqing coming, she was anxious to see her mother and younger brother, and she didn't know if her mother's illness was better.
Mu Shaoqing had already told her that the Shen family's thousand-year-old ginseng had been used by her mother, and she was very happy.
It's just that I don't know if my mother's illness has improved, and one of her hearts has already flown to the south of the city.
It's almost noon, and I don't see Mu Shaoqing coming, I only see this turtle slave sent by Feng's mother, this guy is very strong.
The turtle slave stood there, like a black iron tower, and asked her, "Miss, are we still going to go?" ”
Obviously, this man was really in a hurry, he wanted to finish this errand early, and he also wanted to go home and have a look.
Siyu thought about it, the south of the city should not be too far, hire a carriage by yourself, I'm afraid it won't take more than an hour to go, there shouldn't be any great danger.
Thinking of this, she nodded to him and said, "Let's go now."
The group, Siyu, Xiaocui, and the turtle slave got out of the cold incense Xiaozhu and hired a carriage to go to the south of the city.
The capital is indeed very large, and it is also the most prosperous place, where it is lively, and the street market is full of people.
Because of this, the carriage stopped and stopped on Suzaku Street, which was not a long distance, but when it reached the south of the city, it was almost noon.
According to the location given by Mu Shaoqing, it was written on the pear blossom alley, all the way to the east, and in a small courtyard at the easternmost end, the coachman commanded the carriage to come to the door of the small courtyard.
The small courtyard is not big, it is expensive in a separate courtyard, and the place is relatively secluded, which shows that Mu Shaoqing has spent a lot of thought.
After getting out of the car, Siyu couldn't hold back her excitement, and when she got out of the car, she went to knock on the door, bang, bang, bang, she was eager to call the door, but she couldn't say a complete word.
At that moment, she was so anxious that she coughed repeatedly, and her brother's response was clearly heard from inside the courtyard gate: "Who?" Is it Big Brother Mu?"
Siyu became more and more anxious, and smashed the door even more frantically, but it frightened Yunzhi and didn't dare to open the door.
Because Mu Shaoqing had already warned them that Chen's mother was a wanted criminal by the imperial court, and no matter who called the door, it must not be opened.
But in this way, I thought about the rain bitterly.
Xiaocui saw that she had tears in her eyes, she was rejected by her family, she couldn't speak, she was anxious and afraid, frightened, and her longing was really distressing, so she hurriedly came over to help her smash the door together.
"Siyu's family, aunt, Siyu came to see you, you hurry up and open the door!"
Xiao Cui screamed desperately.
Yoon-sik also heard it at this time, and the crying voice was very similar to her sister, so she hurriedly came over and took a closer look at the crack of the door, only then did she see that you were really her sister.
He hurriedly opened the door, his sister and brother saw each other, hugged their heads and cried, and his younger brother Yoon-sik had a lot of things to ask his sister, and he was surprised to find that his sister couldn't speak.
He hurriedly asked Xiao Cui next to him, "What's wrong with my sister?" ”
Xiaocui felt that she couldn't say a word or two, so she hurriedly said to Yunzhi, you let us in first, after all, there are many people here.
Yunzhi reacted at this time, it was true that there were people coming and going here, so he stopped crying for the time being, and hurriedly let his sister and Xiaocui in.
The turtle slave who looked like a black iron tower stood outside the door and looked around vigilantly, and after entering the door, he plugged in the courtyard door.
But what he didn't know was that there were people following along the way, three ninjas dressed in black, following the carriage along the way.
As soon as they went out, they climbed high and low along the way, jumping up and down on the roofs on both sides, and the speed was not slow at all, and they clung to it.
……
Yun-sik didn't expect her sister to come, and when she saw that her sister was dressed gorgeously, she wore a light gauze thin cigarette skirt with a good silk texture, which made her sister even more charming.
Once upon a time, my sister was wearing a ragged shirt, and she was so beautiful when she dressed as a man all the year round, like a woman who came out of a painting, and she was extremely delicate.
As soon as Siyu entered the door, she hurriedly looked for her mother, Yunzhi hurriedly let her into the back room, on the sickbed, her mother was in good spirits, and what was even more rare was that she actually regained some sanity.
When Chen's mother saw her daughter, although she couldn't speak for the time being, her eyes were no longer empty, but tears overflowed, and it was obvious that she recognized her daughter.
At that moment, Siyu had mixed feelings, and after the family reunited, they hugged their heads and cried, such a scene made people cry when they saw it.
And Xiao Cui on the side was also a little tearful, thinking of her mother, her heart was sour, and tears came out of her eyes.
At that moment, she also wanted to go home to see her mother.
If possible, she wants to beg Sister Siyu to redeem her maid, and she won't be embarrassed to come to Tianxianglou, and she won't need much silver.
This is not too difficult for Siyu, it can be said that it is a gesture.
The family finally stopped crying, and Yunzhi hurriedly persuaded her sister and said to her: "Mother is just a little better, Dr. Xue has instructed you not to let your mother's mood fluctuate!" ”
Siyu heard her brother say this, and hurriedly stopped crying, and when her younger brother Yunzhi saw his sister, why did she suddenly become unable to speak, and hurriedly asked Xiaocui, she told him what had happened before and after.
The family was easily reunited, and the younger brother listened to what happened to his sister, and his heart was even more sour, thinking that if he hadn't gambled, he wouldn't have let his sister fall into the dust.
The two sisters and brothers had just sat down, and they didn't even say a few words, when suddenly a strange noise came out of the courtyard.
Yun Sik was afraid that the neighbors would be curious about this side and peek at it, after all, her sister was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked so beautiful, she was also curious wherever she went.
What's more, such a richly dressed person is even more abrupt when he comes here.
He looked at the courtyard suspiciously, and was surprised, how could the courtyard be empty?
He thought to himself about the person his sister had brought.
Xiao Cui saw that his expression was different, and she also hurriedly came over to check outside, and she saw that the sturdy turtle slave in the yard was nowhere to be seen.
She was strange in her heart, but she saw a red blood stain on the ground, and although the loess covered most of it, it was still faintly recognizable.
Frightened, she hurriedly pushed Yoon-sik, "Look there, what's going on?" ”
Yunzhi looked in the direction of Xiaocui's finger, only to find that there was really a pool of blood in the courtyard, which frightened him and Xiaocui to close the door and die.
Siyu saw that the two of them looked different, and was about to step forward to take a look, when suddenly there was a bang, and a woman dressed in a black strong suit jumped from the roof.
Siyu was startled, and before she could react, the man stabbed at herself, and seeing the white dangling blade stabbing at herself, she screamed in fright and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the roof suddenly pierced, and an extremely strong man fell from the turtle slave, who was already seriously injured.
The sturdy body smashed on the ninja's body, and the ninja was angry and anxious, and stabbed at the big man, but he was eagerly pressed by the fat body as heavy as a mountain, and he couldn't get out and draw the knife in a hurry.
Xiao Cui was the closest, and in a panic, she saw a woodcutter thrown on the ground, and hurriedly took the knife in her hand and slashed at the ninja's neck, instantly spraying her face with blood mist, which frightened her and screamed.
Suddenly, a knife passed through the window, accurately stabbed Xiao Cui, the shouting stopped abruptly, and fell in a pool of blood, Si Yu saw Xiao Cui fall to the ground and screamed desperately, but he couldn't call out the word Xiao Cui.
Yoon-sik saw that his sister was jumped out of the room by another man in black, and grabbed him, so anxious that he hurriedly ran over to rescue, but he was stabbed in the leg and fell to the ground.
Siyu's woman in black snorted coldly, and asked in extremely blunt words: "Yours, Chen Siyu's, isn't it?"
Siyu's big eyes were full of sorrow, her eyes were full of resentment, stubbornness, unwillingness, and tears.
