Chapter Twenty-Eight: Desperate Situation (I)

As the saying goes, if you are in a bad mood, no matter how good the meal is, it will taste like chewing wax.

But no matter how much it tasted like chewing wax, Wang Han still ate a meal, and he tried his best to let himself eat a lot, perhaps to vent the unspeakable depression in his heart......

This meal is also eaten with Zhang Xuan'er, in fact, since living in Zhang's mansion for a few days, Wang Han has basically eaten with this little tigress, she asked a lot of things, including how to make perfume, what are those VIPs, and even when asked if it was okay, Wang Han casually told her a story, one chapter a day, anyway, it was nonsense, as long as she could be perfunctory, including the four famous novels that had not yet appeared, including those adapted by Jin Yong's predecessors, in fact, this little tigress could listen to it, And you can listen to it with relish.

In the past, it was okay, Wang Han still had a story to tell her, but today she seemed a little absent-minded, and when she got to the back, Zhang Xuan'er was a little unhappy: "Stinky Xiucai, why don't you talk to me, why don't you continue today, what is going on with Gao Laozhuang Zhu Bajie, can Sun Monkey beat him, didn't you say that you also received a gourd baby?" Who is the stinky pig and the gourd baby? The question is, at this critical juncture, why did Sun Monkey go to peek at Chang'e taking a bath? ”

Wang Han: "......"

"Is there one? I remember answering you. Wang Han sighed faintly, and then looked at Zhang Xuan'er, in addition to a bitter face, it was more of a tired look.

Wang Han suddenly remembered one thing, that is...... Can you ask her to do me a favor?

The other party is only a hundred households, and he should not be worried about getting into trouble, but how should he speak......

Wang Han squinted at Zhang Xuan'er, and the little girl naturally stretched out her hand and shook it beside Wang Han, with a puzzled expression.

Wang Han's state is very wrong, and everyone can see it.

"Are you sick?"

Wang Han shook his head.

"What's going on here? Something happened at home? ”

Wang Han still shook his head.

Just when the little tigress was about to fall into a rampage, Wang Han suddenly asked with a solemn face: "Little girl, what do you think of our relationship now?" ”

"It sucks!"

“……”

"Just kidding, it's actually okay, although you are a very hated person, some places are still quite good!" Zhang Xuan'er smiled, but couldn't help but wrinkle her little nose and said, "Stinky Xiucai, don't you want to get close to me, is there something in trouble and you want to ask me?" ”

Wang Han was silent and did not deny it.

"Hmph, you've been depressed since you came back, and you used to run away early after eating with Miss Ben, but today you stayed with Miss Ben for so long, do you have such good patience? There must be a request for me, how could Miss Ben not guess! Zhang Xuan'er raised her eyebrows proudly, as if she felt a sense of accomplishment when she saw Wang Ning's shocked expression, "Say, what's the matter?" Miss Ben will help you depending on the mood, but you've found the right person! ”

"I ......" Wang Han took a deep breath, "I don't like to owe others, if you help, this time I owe you ......"

"Okay, okay, what's going on?"

……

……

The night was slightly cool, it was the height of summer, and the slightest cold air penetrated into the surface of the human body, but it made the people standing outside shiver like late autumn.

A few crows flew over the branches, and with the harsh and ugly cry of 'quack' flew farther and farther, the weather was very good during the day, but at night the dark clouds were overwhelming, and it didn't take long for the black clouds to suppress half of the sky, hideous and terrifying, waving its fangs, and still encroaching, giving people a dull feeling.

The so-called sunrise does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles, but today it gives people a very strange feeling, obviously the sunset can still be seen at that time at dusk, but at night, it still ushered in the precursor of rain.

The strange atmosphere, God seems to be in the scene today, and the heaven and earth are filled with an indescribable dull feeling......

Although the night ban is a regulation of the Ming Dynasty, but it has developed to the orthodox years, it has been almost a few decades, in fact, in some less important places, even if it is really bumped into by the patrol officers and soldiers during the night ban, plugging some copper plates, you can get pardon, this is also a means for those officers and soldiers to collect money, of course, the last silver will still be given to the above, and then reward them with some meager copper coins, In ancient times, it was so cruel, first-class exploitation.

As the most prosperous fireworks place in Zhangde Fucheng, Zuixianglou naturally attracts countless talented ronins.

Nowadays, it is not a criminal thing to go to the land of fireworks, but those young masters who have good literary talents, often linger in that kind of place, in addition to some oirans, those who can only dance and ink on weekdays are liked, nothing more than those beautiful and lovable Qing people, but in the back someone pays a huge amount of silver to redeem their bodies, if no one redeems themselves, the good posture will be dressed up beautifully, and when the time comes, an Oiran contest will be held, dignitaries, and rich businessmen and literati are naturally flocking to it, The last one with the highest price gets, the richer the kind of person, all he cares about is the night of the Qing people's combing, the so-called combing night, is naturally the night when every girl in the land of fireworks serves the man for the first time, after which he is tired of playing, and the general appearance and no talent is naturally the value plummets, often the first time can be sold a few taels of silver, to the back can only sell a few hundred copper plates, dozens of copper plates, and even the last few copper plates.

This is the life of those women in Fengyue Place, when the old Zhuhuang has no value to squeeze, he will throw the deed of sale to her, which can be regarded as recovering the free body, but what is the use of the free body at that time?

At that time, those who saved some money when they were young would die of old age alone, lonely for the rest of their lives. If you don't have any silver to save, prepare a wisp of white cloth, find a crooked neck tree and hang it, and maybe shed a tear or two before you die, regretting that life is too short, but that's all.

……

Even if it is time for the night ban, but the business is still thriving at the door of Zuixianglou, and from time to time someone comes out, and then sneaks out of an alley, looking panicked, just afraid of being seen, these people are naturally old acquaintances of Zuixianglou, and those who do not stay overnight often have a familiar road, and on that road, there are naturally no night patrol officers and soldiers.

"Yo, Master Li, this is out? Is it that Miss Chunxiang is not good at serving? I'll talk back. ”

An old woman at the door who still had charm covered her mouth and chuckled, and a man wiped the sweat on the top of his head, and then smiled: "Miss Chunxiang, I am naturally very satisfied, but I have to go back, the family just came back in the afternoon, and it will be really troublesome if I don't go back!" As he spoke, he made a shushing gesture and wanted to leave here like a thief, but at this time, a group of people suddenly came over from a distance, and after a rough count, there were at least nearly twenty people, all of whom looked very rough and vigorous!

"A few masters, who are you?"

When she saw these people appear at the door, the old woman was stunned, and then walked over with a smile, such a big business?

However, the next moment, a pretty and lovely girl had already frowned, as if she was very disgusted with this kind of place, and a guard commander next to her walked over with a steady pace, and asked coldly, "Is there a person from the brocade guard here?" ”

When he saw Zhang Xuan'er, the previous Master Li also widened his eyes, and hurriedly turned his voice away, at this moment there was a look of fear on his face, it was obvious that this little girl was quite famous in Fucheng, but he obviously thought about it too much, because this little girl had obviously ignored him.

"Where do I have a brocade guard here today? Who are you who are disturbing this place without permission, I will definitely sue the government! ”

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that these people were smashing the field!

Seeing Zhang Xuan'er frowning, the guard commander waved his hand directly: "Search for me!" ”

The next moment, a group of tiger and wolf guards received the order, and they immediately rushed inside, with a momentum like a rainbow.

And at this time, the woman naturally screamed and wanted to let the guards come, but how could those guards be the opponents of so many tiger and wolf guards? After resisting only for a moment, they all lay on the ground and could not get up again, and the woman was trembling and unable to speak.

The next moment, Zhang Xuan'er had already come to her.

At the same time, Wang Han, who was beside Zhang Xuan'er, suddenly frowned, and then there was naturally the sound of ping-pong smashing things and women screaming in horror.

"Miss Report, no one!"

"Miss Hui, I didn't find anyone!"

"No one!"

The guards were very efficient, and it didn't take long for them to complete the inventory of the inside of the Zuixiang Building, and even on the face of one of the guards, there was a red lip print, thinking that something interesting had happened, but Wang Han didn't pay attention to this, he was now stunned in place, and then his complexion changed as if he thought of something!

No one?

How could there be no one!!
