After a while, Meng Zhou stood at the door of the gambling house, looked at the people around him with some difficulty, and said tentatively: "That, it's actually not necessary, I'll find a way..."

"If I win, grant me a wish."

Dream Monday was stunned, "Ah." ”

"Just say yes."

In the gambling house, the shouting was overshadowed, and Jing Rong stretched out his arm to wrap around Mengzhou, blocking everyone from coming.

In front of the gambling table, Meng Zhou pressed Jing Rong's hand and hesitated, "Are you sure you can?" I'm not responsible if I lose. ”

Jing Rong suppressed the piece of silver, leaned sideways and whispered in Mengzhou's ear: "If you win, it will all be yours." ”

Meng turned his head to look at it, and the eyes of the person next to him had moved to the gambling table, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly drooping, and his face was as warm as jade, as if he felt Meng Zhou's gaze, Jing Rong slightly turned his head sideways and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.

Bumping into Jing Rong's laughter, Meng Zhou's face flushed, coughed lightly, and pushed his waist, "What are you laughing at, you're going to lose." ”

"What if you lose?"

As soon as Jing Rong finished speaking, the table was boiling, and a man next to Jing Rong smiled at Jing Rong: "This brother is okay, he was so lucky when he first came." ”

Meng Zhou tiptoed excitedly and shook Jingrong's sleeves, "Come again." ”

"Okay."

After two more rounds, Meng Zhou looked at the money pushed in Jing Rong's hand, and his eyes lit up. She whispered in Jingrong's ear: "I didn't expect you to not only be good at fortune telling, but also very good at gambling." It's amazing, which one to press below. ”

Jing Rong grabbed Mengzhou's body and said helplessly: "It's time to go." ”

"Why?"

Jing Rong glanced at the corner of the casino and put away the money bag, "Enough is enough, and there is a way to put it away." ”

Out of the casino, Jing Rong put the money bag in Meng Zhou's hand, "Here you go." ”

Meng Zhou was stunned, smiled and stuffed it back to Jingrong: "You really give it." She said and looked around, "Why don't you treat me to a sugar gourd?" ”

Red lights began to light up around the area, reflecting on the surface of the stream, like red plums in winter, and the shadow waves swayed.

Meng Zhou bit the sugar gourd in his hand and said as he walked: "By the way, what did you mean by what you just said in the casino?" ”

"Do you see that little door on the north side of the casino?"

Meng Zhou nodded.

"If we win a few more, we will be more than just empty of money today."

Meng Zhou shook the sugar gourd in his hand and said jokingly: "I didn't expect you to be quite experienced as a little scholar." ”

"You still think I'm a scholar."

Meng Zhou shook his head: "No, from the past few days, it seems that you should be a, well-" Meng Zhou said and thought for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled: "Ah, I remembered that word, I don't learn and don't know, I'm a scholar who doesn't learn and doesn't know." ”

Jing Rong sighed and said weakly: "It's really good eyesight." ”

Meng Zhou raised a smug smile, "That's right, I've always been very accurate in looking at people." ”

The two walked to a restaurant, Meng Zhou poked inside, turned back to look at the other side, and pointed to a noodle stall across the river and said, "Aren't you hungry?" Go, I invite you. ”

"Aren't you penniless?"

"Dali is so right." Meng Zhou said as he conjured two coins from his cuffs, winked and smiled: "So I've taken out the last family book, you have to cherish it." ”

Jing Rong curled her lips, "The great grace of the heroine, it is unforgettable in the bottom." ”

It's rare for someone to cooperate, Meng Zhou smiled and bent his eyes, "It's easy to say." ”

The two of them walked across the stone bridge, the slowly flickering river, and the lights on one side of the bridge flew over the river and scattered on this side.

Meng Zhou picked a slightly brighter place to sit down, and said to the old man who was busy by the pot: "Shop, come to two bowls of noodles." ”

"Okay, you wait, it's going to be right away."

Dream turned around, and there were a few rough-dressed men sitting around, chatting about gossip and gossip, and Dream Zhou turned sideways and pricked up his ears.

"I heard that the person disappeared in the Qinglou?"

"Yes, I also heard that he let the girl in the Qinglou play with outsiders."

"Then this is a capsized ship in the gutter."

Hearing Mengzhou's voice of right and wrong, Jing Rong, who was silently swinging chopsticks, couldn't help but sigh lightly.

One of the rough-dressed men patted Meng Zhou, who was sitting in the corner of the table, and said, "Little brother, you are wrong, he, that is called the peony flower to die, and he is also a ghost." ”

Meng Zhou lifted the pot and poured a cup of tea for the person who spoke, and asked with interest, "What do you say?" ”

"You've heard of Miss Ling'er."

Meng Zhou nodded without hesitation.

The man continued: "Before the Ling'er girl came to the full moon building, the old bustard made a big sign and said that there was a stunning beauty in the future, and everyone would open their eyes. Later, on the first night of the Ling'er girl's appearance, a few rich sons and daughters went with a mocking shelf, who knows, after those people came back, it was like being sucked into the soul, and they sighed that they saw a fairy-like character, and then the Ling'er girl became famous in a fight, and this fame suddenly burst out of Linshui Town, and many people came to visit, spending a lot of money just to watch her dance. ”

Meng Zhou said: "So you just said that the disappearance of that person is related to this Ling'er girl." ”

The man lowered his voice, "If you want me to say, eight or nine is not far from ten." What do you think, now this Ling'er girl is a figure in the palm of many rich boys' buddies, if that person does something disproportionate like before to annoy Ling'er girl, she has a word, and someone is willing to win her mind. ”

"That's right."

"The noodles are going to be cold."

Meng Zhou turned his head, Jing Rong stretched out his hand and handed her a pair of chopsticks, "Come back for dinner." ”

Mengzhou stood up, took the chopsticks in one direction, and sat on the stool with a big grin, "I forgot that there is still this stubble, why don't you eat it first?" ”

"I want to eat with you."

Meng Zhou picked a chopstick noodle and said with a smile: "Why, you are still worried that I will pay the bill." ”

Jing Rong nodded his hand for a moment, and his eyebrows were a little worried, but looking at Meng Zhou's heartless appearance of eating noodles, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and smiled bitterly.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jing Rong sighed, half happy and half worried, "I'm relieved." ”

Meng Zhou frowned and muttered, "What do you say without a beginning or an end?" ”

Jing Rong changed the subject: "I see that you have just inquired a lot, what are your plans?" ”

"Intentions, you'll find out in a moment."

After a while, the two came out of the ready-to-wear store, turned the corner, and a burst of fat powder came from it, and Jing Rong looked up, and the colorful lights and green tents, and the charming bone gauze clothes came into view.

"I heard that the county commander is a frequent visitor here."

Jing Rong glanced at Meng Zhou, uneasy in his heart.

Meng Zhou continued: "Then you can't miss it." ”

Jing Rong had a headache, and suddenly remembered the joking voice in his ears.

"Childe doesn't want to go in and take a look"

"You haven't been there, and you've never seen an Oiran before."

"Childe, this kind of thing doesn't need to be hidden, everyone has a love for beauty."

"Brother Huai, Brother Huai."

With a few soft calls in his ears, Jing Rong turned back to his thoughts and looked at Meng Zhou.

Meng Zhou said: "What did you just think, so engrossed." ”

"Nothing."

Meng Zhou didn't ask, nodded at the money bag on Jing's side, and said flatteringly: "Brother Huai, do me a favor again, these and the previous ones should be regarded as I asked you to borrow them, and when Heshan comes out, I will find a way to return it to you." ”

"No, you don't." Jing Rong said and put the money bag in Meng Zhou's hand, and said, "How about I exchange this bag of money for a wish for you?" ”

Meng Zhoule said, "I only know now that my promise is so valuable." Okay, promise you. After Meng Zhou finished speaking, he patted Jing Rong's shoulder, "Let's go, I'll just take you to open your eyes to a woman today." ”

The girl in the Qinglou saw Jing Rong and Meng Zhou approaching, and they all hugged over and piled up on Jing Rong's side, Meng Zhou saw Jing Rong's slightly frowning brows, lifted the money bag in her hand, and said loudly, "It seems that in this world, money is not as good as people." ”

The girls around Jing Rong took most of them away at once, and leaned around Mengzhou with a smile and said, "Where is the son, what are you, but it's the first time I've seen such a handsome two sons." ”

Meng Zhou stuffed the money bag back into his arms, lifted it and said with a smile: "Really? But you, I've swept a lot of eyes. ”

The girl's face that spoke froze for a second, and she smiled stiffly: "Childe, you really know how to laugh." ”

Meng Zhou plucked out his ears and pulled out a playful smile: "Really? Interesting, you're the first to say that. ”

The girl let go of Mengzhou's arm and shook the embroidered handkerchief, "Then it seems that only Ling'er girl can get into the eyes of the son." ”

As soon as the girl finished speaking, a half-aged woman with a plump figure and charm still walked over, and smiled after a few steps, "These two sons, it is really a blessing to welcome you two, this girl just came, she can't speak, she offended you two, come, you two please come first, if there is any need, the family must arrange it immediately." ”

Meng Zhou raised his hand and set up a shelf: "Then arrange it." ”

"Then you see that we have all kinds of girls, what kind of look do you like, why do you arrange it for you immediately."

"Why, what the girl who can't speak just now didn't understand enough."

The old bustard rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, "Why do you understand what you mean, and you also know your intentions for Ling'er girl, but unfortunately, this Ling'er girl is infected with the wind and cold, and she really can't serve the two." But don't worry, you won't come in vain today, our girls are all good, and they won't let you lose interest. ”

Meng Zhou waved his hand impatiently, "Find a private room." ”

"Okay, you wait, I'll arrange someone to serve you two. Qingshui, take the two sons upstairs. ”

The old bustard said and glanced at a little girl in green beside him.

The little girl in green stepped forward with a slight bow, walked on Mengzhou's side, stretched out her hand to block the laughing girls shuttling in the lobby, and led Jingrong and Mengzhou all the way to the second floor.

Dream walked around and said, "Your name is Qingshui?" ”

"Yes."

"Qingshui, just now your mother said that Miss Li'er is sick?"

The little girl lifted the curtain at the entrance of the porch, nodded slightly, and whispered, "Yes." ”

Meng Zhou said again: "When did you get sick?" ”

"A few days ago."

Meng Zhou stopped, tilted his head to think, and said, "So, it's a time with the county commander." ”

The little girl in green shook her head: "Miss Li'er was infected with the wind cold before that, and she hasn't danced for many days, and I hope the two sons will forgive me." ”

Meng Zhou looked at the girl a few times, and said with a smile: "Of course, Miss Li'er has to take care of her body first." She finished glancing at the room at the end of the hallway with red lanterns.

"Thank you for your understanding, please two of you,"

Pushing open the door, a faint fragrance of flowers flowed in the air, and the little girl in green bowed and retreated.

"Xingchuan has seen two sons."

Meng Zhou followed the soft voice, and there was a red-clothed girl standing in the room, with amorous eyes, a slightly open placket, and a few loose green silks, which slipped out a few strands and put them on the looming fragrant shoulders, adding to the charm.

The girl stepped forward under Mengzhou's gaze, and saw Jingrong's face flushed even more when she saw Mengzhou behind her.

Meng Zhou glanced back at Jing Rong behind him and smiled knowingly. She lifted her robe and sat down at the desk with a big grin, smiling at the girl's affection for Jingrong.

It's a pity that the latter looked at such a soft girl as if he didn't see it, walked straight to Xingchuan's side, and sat on the side of Meng Yi with straight eyes.

Meng Zhou raised his eyebrows and didn't make a sound.

Xingchuan rolled up his sleeves and ordered two cups of tea and put them in the hands of the two, and said softly: "Two sons, please." ”

As soon as Meng Zhou took a sip of tea, he saw Xingchuan gently brushing the hair on his shoulders, picking up the cup, leaning slightly towards Jingrong, and his clothes slowly slid away along Xingchuan's movements, stopping behind his shoulders appropriately. Xingchuan glanced at Jing Rong, his face was full of spring, and his voice was crisp as if he could pinch out a jar of wine, "Childe, please." ”

Meng Zhou watched all this in a daze, until he heard Xingchuan's voice, and finally couldn't hold back for a while, a mouthful of tea squirted out, and most of it flew on Xingchuan.

The room froze suddenly, and Meng Zhou swallowed his saliva, a little overwhelmed, "That, that, or you..."

Before Meng Zhou finished speaking, Jing Rong suddenly glanced up at Xingchuan and said indifferently, "You have makeup." ”

The words were heavier than Qianshi, Xingchuan heard Jingrong's words, her face flushed and scattered, she was busy covering her face with her sleeves, and her voice was sorrowful, "Xingchuan is rude." She staggered to her feet, "Rong Xingchuan changed his clothes and came out to serve the two sons." With that, she turned sharply and walked a few steps into the inner room.

Meng Zhou sighed and patted Jing Rong's shoulder: "You are really good at talking." ”

Jing Rong handed Meng Zhou Zhang a handkerchief, and said unhurriedly: "Each other." ”

Dream swallowed, rubbing the tea at the corner of his mouth

"That's it, it's all the same anyway, you wait here, don't peek, do you hear?"

Seeing Jing Rong nodding obediently, Meng Zhou put his mind at ease, stood up and walked into the inner room.

After a while, the inner room returned to quiet, the light veil was lifted, Jing Rong raised his eyes to see, Mengzhou's face was covered with a layer of tulle, the green silk was scattered, a golden hairpin was inserted obliquely, and he was wearing a lotus pink dress, slim and elegant.

"How? Isn't it a good fit. ”

Jing Rong looked away, stood up and walked to the door, without hesitation, "I'll bring her over." ”

Meng Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Jing Rong, "Are you stunned, what you said is good, why did you bring her over?" ”

"I'll take you with you how you go."

Meng Zhou wrapped his arms around him, nodded his chin, and asked, "Really?" Do you know where that girl is? Is it a real illness or is it something else? If you do go in, how do you get her out quietly? How do we get out after that? ”

"And how do you know where to go?" 、

"You don't understand this, people have a mouth and a pair of ears, as long as they are willing to say and listen, there is nothing that cannot be detected, otherwise why do you think I am so arrogant, and why did I order this Xingchuan girl? It's not to make a posture for the old bustard to see, paving the second floor. ”

Jing Rong frowned, and suddenly remembered the appearance of Meng Zhou and the boss whispering when he tried on clothes in the ready-to-wear store.

Seeing Jing Rong's concern, Meng Zhou comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I have walked so many miles alone for so many years, and I have gained something after all, and I will not be bullied." ”

Jing Rong clenched his hands and struggled in his tone: "But you are not alone now. ”

Meng Zhou smiled helplessly: "You are really stubborn in this regard, even if you are by my side now and can protect me for a while, but I am me after all, you can't walk for me every step of the way." ”

Hearing Meng Zhou's words, Jing dissolved in a trance.

Suddenly, there was a low voice in the inner room**, Mengzhou's body was stunned, he raised a harmless smile, opened the door and pushed Jing Rong Dao with his backhand, "Don't you want to help me, then this girl will be handed over to you." ”

The door was closed, and Meng Zhou looked left and right, and the corridor was still like she had entered, with only music flowing from an unknown room.

She hung her head and walked straight to the room at the end of the porch......

Jing Rong walked into the inner room, and saw that the Xingchuan girl was like an unfading cicada chrysalis, from head to toe was tightly wrapped in a blanket by Mengzhou, with a black cloth in her eyes and a handkerchief in her mouth.

Xingchuan heard the footsteps and stopped beside the bed, twisted her body uneasily, and even her breath became short, and suddenly the handkerchief on her mouth was taken away, and before she could change her breath, a small pill was thrown into her mouth, and she couldn't take precautions, and in the panic, the pill actually slid down her throat along the unfinished breath.

But after a while, the person on the bed quieted down, Jing Rong looked away, and was about to walk away, when the paper at the head of the bed was suddenly attracted, he bent down and reached out to take it down, and suddenly there were eight big words on the paper: Don't look at indecent things, be pure and have few desires.

Jing Rong shook her head helplessly, folded it and put it away, it was really difficult for her to do so many marginal things in such a short time.
