Su Ziheng, Song Jianming and his scholar Xiao An were struggling to open the way in front, but they heard Xiaoya exclaim behind them: "There are so many people." ”

Xiao An turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Xiaoya, didn't you come to see the Oiran last year?" ”

Xiaoya shook her head and said, "No, my uncle was busy studying last year, and my sister didn't let me come out, worried that I would get lost if I was too young." ”

"I see," Xiao An suddenly realized, "Then you really missed a lot of opportunities to watch the excitement." This Qixi Oiran Race is the most exciting and lively performance in Xining City, attracting many people from around the city to watch the performance every year. This year, because there are too many displaced people outside the city, the entry into the city has been restricted, and the number of people who come to watch the game is much lower than last year. ”

"Oh." Xiaoya now feels that it is a sea of people, and I can't imagine what the scene with more people is like.

Su Ziheng looked at Zhang Wanqing beside him and frowned slightly, obviously not suitable for squeezing together with so many people. couldn't help asking: "Brother Jianming, there are so many people ahead, where are we going?" ”

Originally, if there were only four of them, Su Ziheng might not come to crowd with so many people, he would choose the restaurant on the opposite street, choose a box facing the stage, take out a few binoculars from the base warehouse, and watch the game leisurely.

But now it's different, although he is familiar with Song Jianming, but after all, he doesn't know the roots, and many things are inconvenient to reveal to him, so he can only helplessly squeeze the crowd.

Song Jianming pushed aside a person with difficulty, turned around and smiled: "Ziheng, don't worry, I have already set a few positions in the east stand, as long as you pass through this group of people, there will be a lot of free space in front." When the time comes, you can see the game more clearly. ”

"In that case, let's take a few more steps."

……

……

At the back of the stage at the moment, Hua Niang was losing her temper, "It looks like it's Xiaoxiao's turn to perform on stage, why hasn't Cai'er's girl arrived yet?" ”

Because Cai'er is still young, Nuanxiang Pavilion did not assign her a special maid, so no one knows where she went?

Ji Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, "Didn't Sister Cai'er come with you today?" We rehearsed [White Fox] together last night, why didn't we see anyone in the morning? ”

Xiao Taohong replied softly beside her: "Miss, I haven't seen Miss Cai'er since I got up this morning." I asked a few early servants in the cabinet, and they said that they had seen Cai'er go out when they were young, but they didn't pay attention to whether she came back or not? ”

"When?" Ji Xiaoxiao whispered puzzled: "Why did she go out with a girl's house so early, don't you know that there is chaos in the city now?" ”

Although Ji Xiaoxin is quite curious, she doesn't have time to care about Cai'er's whereabouts at the moment, she has to be busy with makeup first, and she will perform on stage later.

On the other side, Hua Niang also took a deep breath, calmed down, and snorted coldly: "Since that girl doesn't cherish the opportunity, then she doesn't have this blessing." Xiaoxiao, mom will give you a different person to perform. ”

Ji Xiaoxiao said lightly: "It's all up to my mother." "Anyway, in [White Fox], the role of the scholar is just a background character, and he doesn't need much good acting ability.

Hua Niang turned her head and glanced around the faces of the girls who followed her from the Nuanxiang Pavilion, and finally landed on Qing'er's face, remembering that Xu Gongzi had given him a chance to take care of her more last night.

Hua Niang said with a cold face: "Qing'er, you and Cai'er are about the same size, since she didn't come today, you will perform on stage and for her little one." Be careful not to smash the act, otherwise your mother won't be able to spare you. ”

This is the most chance of Nuanxiang Pavilion to win the Oiran this year, she doesn't want to be messed up, otherwise even if it is the person Xu Gongzi likes, she wants her to look good.

Qing'er originally lowered her head, a little apprehensive in her heart. Although Xu Gongzi promised to let herself participate in [White Fox], she was still not at ease until the last moment.

Hearing Hua Niang's words now, her heart finally fell in her stomach, and she looked up and said to Hua Niang with a look of surprise: "Mom, don't worry, Qing'er will definitely not let you down." ”

Since she knew yesterday that she had the opportunity to participate in the performance of [White Fox], when she went back at night, when Ji Xiaoxiao was rehearsing, she secretly watched it from the side, and even after returning to the room, she practiced until late before going to bed.

"I didn't expect the opportunity to finally come to my head, and I must not make any mistakes." Qing'er secretly admonished herself in her heart, and began to put on makeup.

At this moment, she has completely forgotten about Cai'er, who was betrayed by herself, and is immersed in the joy of performing on the same stage with Ji Xiaoxiao.

……

……

Cai'er only felt dizzy, a little swollen, and uncomfortable at the moment. She rubbed her slender jade fingers on her temples, and when she was a little more sober, she took a look at her surroundings.

It was a dark room, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and only a little sunlight spilled on the floor through the cracks in the doors and windows, bringing a ray of light. Although Cai'er didn't carefully look at the furnishings of this room, she already knew in her heart that this was definitely not the bedroom she lived in, or even the room of Nuan Xiang Pavilion.

"Where is this? Why am I here? ”

Cai'er struggled to recall what had happened before, and suddenly a figure appeared in her mind, "Little brother, what did you do to my little brother?" ”

Cai'er finally remembered that not long after dawn in the morning, Qing'er came to her room and took out the longevity lock she had given him, saying that she had come to the city to watch her Oiran performance. Unexpectedly, they collided with the ruffians in the city, and they detained their little brother and let them take ten taels of silver to ransom him on Beichang Street. And they also warned themselves not to tell others, otherwise they would break their little brother's legs.

At that moment, Cai'er didn't think much about it, and went to Beichang Street with the longevity lock and silver. As a result, when she reached Beichang Street, she didn't find any trace of her younger brother, and was surrounded by several black-clothed people, who seemed to have used ecstasy on herself.

As soon as she thought that she had been kidnapped, Cai'er's heart immediately panicked. She is not worried about herself, but about her younger brother. Anyway, since he was sold into the Qinglou, he already had the worst plan for the future. Even if you are kidnapped at this moment, how bad can it be?

They kidnapped themselves, what about their little brother? Will he be okay?

Just when Cai'er was anxious and worried, the door of the room "squeaked" and was pushed open from the outside. A voice sounded in the doorway: "Keep watch at the door, and no one will let them in!" ”

"Yes!"

Cai'er looked up in the direction of the door, only to see a man with a mask on his face walking in from outside. The mask is eerie and terrifying, with only two holes left on it for the eyes, and the rest of the place is tightly covered, so it is impossible to tell who is coming?

"You, who are you, why did you arrest me?" Cai'er curled up and asked in a trembling voice about the mask's humanity.

There was a hint of cruel and crazy desire in the masked man's eyes, "Little beauty, don't be afraid, let me love you well!" ”
