Chapter 9: Oiran

Located at the confluence of the Chenjiang River and the Meigong River, Meigong County is a well-known place for trade and travel, with people coming and going on the wharf, rich merchants gathering in the city, and fishing profits on the waterfront.

Fuqiao Street in Liu'an County, Meigong County, has convenient transportation and huge passenger flow, and the street is full of all kinds of storefronts, silk and satin, gold, silver, pearls and jade...... All are available for trading here. At night, there is a different scene, with a brothel and a restaurant and tea shop...... The red lantern is full of laughter and joy of the benefactors, and the wanton publicity of the world is like a glimpse of the light, condensed and bloomed here, and on the Fuqiao Street at night, whether it is a bewitching prostitute or a prince and a high-roller, they are all drunk and free from the affectionate or ruthless riverbank.

A place like this will naturally be zoned out of the curfew, so that all the three religions and nine streams are gathered here, and there is no place more lively and disorderly than Fuqiao Street on the boundary of Liu'an County.

Fuqiao Street, Dongchun Lane, Wanyan Fang.

Zhao Xiang'e had just had lunch and was looking at the mirror, she didn't rest well last night, so she planned to lie down for a while. At this moment, the old bustard pushed open her door: "Alas, hurry up and comb your hair, someone downstairs is looking for you!" ”

Zhao Xiang'e frowned, her eyes didn't leave the mirror at all, and she said lazily: "I'm not feeling well, I want to rest for a while, Mom, you go and ask that person to come back at night." ”

"Alas, my good Xiang'e, it's that Shen Gongzi who came, and you won't go to see it?" The old bustard, who had received three taels of silver, walked behind her with a smile, touched her hair, and looked at the wonderful person in the mirror.

"I don't know who he is! I didn't stop all night last night, and I practiced the piano for half a day this morning, and now I can finally relax and relax, but don't come to trouble me again. ”

"My good Xiang'e, don't be distracted! People say it, it's just a meeting, just a few words. You just hurry up and pack up, don't let Shen Gongzi wait. ”

Zhao Xiang'e reluctantly put on some makeup, and walked out with the bustard, the old bustard pointed out the carriage on the street to her, she glanced at it, raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously: "Is that Shen Gongzi's carriage?" ”

The old bustard nodded and said, "Yes." Shen Gongzi's coachman said that the master of the Shen family had just been promoted recently, and everything should not be ostentatious, so he deliberately took this carriage to go out. ”

What are you looking for her for? It's so mysterious. Zhao Xiang'e muttered in her heart as she walked to the carriage. Seeing her coming, the coachman left immediately. Zhao Xiang'e stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, but saw that there was only a stunning girl in the car, and Zhao Xiang'e was stunned.

Ning Xia Qing took a rough look, and saw that Zhao Xiang'e was dressed in a green shirt, with a beige double butterfly flower silk tied around her waist, thin powder, and the head she wore was the most fashionable style at the moment, lining out the bones and grace, the skin and flesh were handsome, and the eyebrows were charming. No man can carry such a stunner, let alone Shen Zhiyuan is infatuated with her, and in a few years, even Tan Wenshi will be obsessed with her.

Before the stunned Zhao Xiang'e could speak, Ning Xia Qingxian said: "You didn't find the wrong person, I am the one who is waiting for you." ”

Zhao Xiang'e glanced at the girl in front of her, obviously a serious girl who had not left the cabinet, but she came to such a place to find her, which was really strange. She folded her arms, three wary and three curious, and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you want to borrow the name of Shen Gongzi? ”

Ning Xia Qing only said: "If you want to know your brother's whereabouts, get in the car, and I can tell you." Rest assured, it won't delay you for too long. ”

As soon as she heard Xiaobao mentioned on the other side, Zhao Xiang'e's face changed suddenly, and her tone became unstable: "What did you say?" Do you know where Xiaobao is? ”

Ningxia Qing did not answer.

Zhao Xiang'e stepped on the footstool without thinking about it, entered the carriage of the Ning family, sat opposite Ningxia Qing, and asked hurriedly, "Where is Xiaobao?" Is he alive? ”

Ning Xia Qing said unhurriedly: "Your brother's name is Zhao Xiaobao, he should be eight years old this year, and he has a scar on his forehead from when he was a child. Three years ago, during the snowstorm, your sisters and brothers fled to Liu'an County, and when you were at the gate of the city, clashes broke out among the affected people, and you were scattered by the crowd. Am I right? ”

"You...... Who are you? You...... Why do you know this? Zhao Xiang'e's eyes widened instantly, and even her tone began to tremble.

Ningxia Qingqi calmed down: "You don't have to be wary of me, and you don't have to worry. I just need you to help me with something, and I'll tell you what I know. ”

"What does the girl want me to do?"

Ning Xia Qing suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "Do you know that I am Shen Zhiyuan's fiancΓ©e." ”

Zhao Xiang'e was stunned for a moment, then laughed "poof", and said: "Wan Yanfang is a serious business, Shen Gongzi is willing to come, I have no reason to drive him." However, since the girl has come to me with all the difficulty, I will not see him again. ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled and said, "No, you misunderstood, I didn't want you to see him in the future." ”

Zhao Xiang'e raised her eyes: "Then what are you doing with me?" ”

Ning Ningqing lowered her voice and said word by word: "Gu Mansion will have a birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, and the music and rhythm saints of Liu'an County will be invited to play in the mansion to help the fun, I hope you can be ......there" She leaned into Zhao Xiang'e's ear and muttered a few words.

"What? Isn't that ......?"

Ning Xia Qing interrupted softly: "You don't have to worry so much, just do as I say." When it is done, I will tell you everything I know. ”

"That'...... All right...... Tell me first, how is Xiaobao doing now? Has he grown taller? He ......"

Ning Ningqing's face was cold: "You don't have to ask, after the matter is completed, I will tell you." ”

Zhao Xiang'e's face was still unwilling, but when she saw that the other party was cold, she knew that she couldn't ask any more questions, so she had to reluctantly get out of the carriage.

As soon as Zhao Xiang'e got out of the car, Ningxia Qing beckoned Ah Zheng to drive away.

Zhao Xiang'e stood in place, motionless as the simple carriage gradually turned out of Dongchun Lane. The girl in the carriage looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and her clothes were sparse and ordinary, but there was a sense of mystery that was unfathomable. Rao is Zhao Xiang'e has read countless people over the years, and she can't see through the origin of the girl in front of her.

Ah was driving the car, and Yoyo asked, "Big girl, this is going home?" ”

"Hmm." Ning Xia Qing replied by leaning on the back of the carriage. Ah Zheng didn't say anything more, but she knew that Ah Zheng must have a lot of things to ask in her heart.

She said leisurely, "Don't ask yet. When the time comes, you'll understand. ”

"Hmm." Ah Zheng, who was driving the car, replied and didn't say anything more.

Everything is ready, the east wind is coming, she has prepared everything, just wait for the day after tomorrow to arrive, she will sing a big show for the Shen family.

When she thought of the yin and yang weird grandmother Qian, she still felt annoyed, and when she thought of what was going to happen the day after tomorrow, she couldn't help but smile happily. The Shen family dared to make a heart-to-heart with her, so don't blame her for not showing mercy to the Shen family when she fought back.
