The three alleys of the northwest corner of Huanghuafang in the east city of Jingshi, the three alleys of Gouqian Hutong, Bensi Hutong and Yanle Hutong, because of the Jiaofang Division, have replaced the famous Gouqian Washe Street in the Yuan Dynasty in Xicheng since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and have become the most famous fireworks place in Jingshi. It's just that the highlight of the event now is no longer the official prostitutes who have not entered the teaching department, or the official prostitutes listed in the Fuller Academy, but all kinds of green buildings, gouqian courtyards, and private prostitution restaurants. In the spring season, the people who come and go here often come in full of books and go out full of fat and powder, although it is now much more depressed than then, there is still no shortage of customers.

It is the same as the north of Pingkangfang, which was gathered in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also divided into three, six, nine, etc., those high-value top brands, and even high-ranking officials and dignitaries privately invited them to their homes for a banquet - of course, most of the people who do this kind of thing are noble families who are not taboo in meat and vegetarians, and the civil officials' families are concerned about the influence, of course, they will not be so blatant. As for the children of those official eunuchs, there are not a few who sneak here to have fun, and there are even many elders in the family who are enemies of the family to meet in this kind of place, except for a few who will make a big fuss, and most of them will pretend not to see it.

In a place like Jingshi, if it gets big and comes to the elders, it's not a trivial matter but a big thing!

Because of this, in a small two-story courtyard at this time, several young men were listening to a young woman playing music with relish in a private room. Unlike most of the women in this kind of place, Qin Sanniang, who sang softly, frowned slightly, had a sad face, and sang gracefully. There is quite an unusual charm. Of course. This kind of charm is not something that everyone can appreciate. At the end of the song, there were only three or five applauds in the huge place, and there were even a few sporadic rewards.

Qin Sanniang, who came down with the pipa, didn't care, and when she got off the stage and entered the aisle, she saw the bustard's mother Min with a frosty face, and she lowered her head. She stopped and bent her knees, she planned to pass through so silently, but she didn't want Mother Min to say with a cold face: "It's all come to this, you still remember that person?" You've been to other people's homes, and you've eaten behind closed doors. Almost beaten out as a liar, you still don't give up? What did I say to you at first, this kind of place is just a show, don't think he's going to take you home in the end! Besides, he returned to Beijing this time, but he swept down three imperial histories and things that usually have eyes on the top of his head! ”

"Mom, don't say it!" Qin Sanniang bit her lip and whispered after a while, "I've been dead for a long time." ”

"It's been a long time since you were dead set up and dressed like this, singing tunes that no one listened to!" Mother Min snatched the pipa from Qin Sanniang's hand suddenly. He was about to fall to the ground, and when he saw his foolishness, he didn't drink or snatch it. She couldn't help but sigh, shoved the pipa into her hand, and then whispered, "Among so many people, you are the one I have raised since I was a few months old, and I have always regarded you as half a daughter." You have suffered such a big loss, I didn't force you to ask for justice...... Do you know the box due south on the second floor? ”

"Huh?" Qin Sanniang was slightly stunned, and then her face changed slightly.

Min's mother said earnestly: "I just heard from the drinker in the box southwest of the second floor that I was able to meet Zhang Ergongzi here, and the bag was in the middle of the box. I thought, although there are many officials surnamed Zhang in the capital, but the biggest ones are the two in the cabinet, anyway, I haven't seen it, and I don't know if it's true or not. However, when I passed by the box in the south of the city, I saw the people inside shaking their heads, as if they liked the song you sang, so you might as well try your luck. ”

Hearing this, Qin Sanniang only felt that her eyes were suddenly astringent, and when she came back to her senses, Min's mother had already passed by. She hurriedly turned around, curtsy again, and said, "Thank you, Mom!" ”

Mother Min continued to walk forward without looking back, until she reached the front of the stage, seeing that the girl who replaced Qin Sanniang had already begun to dance, she stood with her hands in her hands, as if she glanced back very carelessly. Seeing that Qin Sanniang's shadow was no longer on the road, she raised her head to look at the boxes on the second floor, and saw a familiar shadow hesitantly appearing in front of the box facing the stage, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It's been more than a year, and seeing that people are depressed, she can't help but think of an ancient poem, what is called making people haggard for Yi.

"Silly girl, they all say that bustards love money, and sisters love pretty, aren't you afraid that I will tell you to serve there, and until now you have no guard at all, alas!"

said this, but Min's mother still stared at the upstairs, until Qin Sanniang, who was holding the pipa, hesitated for a long time, and finally went in, she left the girl on the stage who danced and cheered constantly, and she also walked up from the aisle where Qin Sanniang went down, and went upstairs from a special staircase. When she arrived at the door of the box directly south of the second floor, she deliberately passed by, she glanced inside, and saw that Qin Sanniang, who had only barely coped with the guests for so long, still looked like a frown, but the sons inside were still behaving decently, she breathed a sigh of relief, didn't dare to eavesdrop anymore, and quietly retreated.

In the box, Qin Sanniang was accompanying the son in the center at this time, pouring wine and delivering food, and behaved like a maid.

If it was someone else, he would have been impatient to meet such a woman who didn't know how to have fun in a place where he didn't know how to convey affection, but Zhang Jiazheng went to this kind of place for a total of three or five times, for those women who were all unknown fat powder fragrances, but still had to stick to their bodies, they were very cold, and the woman next to him sang elegantly, behaved very decently, and never wore heavy makeup, and there was a sandalwood on her body, but the woman made him feel more relaxed. After a few conversations, the two people who accompanied him today quietly exchanged glances, and they actually got up and slipped away.

Not only did they slip away, but after they went out, they also glanced at the turtle who was waiting outside, and in a moment, the light veil in front of the box was replaced by a thick curtain.

And Qin Sanniang, who stayed in the box, couldn't notice the change in the light and shade! Seeing that Zhang Jiazheng just frowned, she still talked to her about singing lyrics and music and other things like no one else, if she hadn't met the person before, maybe she would have unconsciously fallen in love with this kind of noble demeanor, but at this moment, she was kneeling there and couldn't help pinching the two hands hidden in her sleeves. Seeing that Zhang Jiazheng seemed to have drunk a lot, gradually playing with a strand of messy hair around her ears, and her voice seemed to gradually become heavier, she took a deep breath, and then mustered up the courage to ask: "I heard from the drinker outside, the son is the second son of Zhang?" ”

Zhang Jiazheng suddenly dissipated three points of alcohol, and asked vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Qin Sanniang saw Zhang Jiazheng's vigilant attitude suddenly, and thought of the snickering appearance of adult beauty when the other two slipped out, she couldn't help but make up her mind, and immediately took two steps back on her knees, and then bowed her head and fell to the ground: "Second son Zhang, the slave family has no other meaning, I just want to ask Zhang Er Gongzi to help the slave family seek justice, and the slave family is willing to repay the kindness in the next life!" ”

Zhang Jiazheng didn't expect to hear such a request from the other party's mouth, and he was stunned there, but at this moment, the curtain outside was suddenly opened, and he was startled and thought that he had encountered a fault-finder, but when he looked at it again, he found that it was his two companions who hurried back.

"Something happened, Wang Fulin, that guy didn't know why, he suddenly went to a literary club where your eldest brother went to make trouble, and it is said that he humiliated your eldest brother in public!"

Hearing such news, Zhang Jiazheng frowned, slammed the wine glass and stood up: "He's so bold!" ”

Disturbed by this sudden news, he didn't have the heart to listen to any more tunes or beauties, so he walked out angrily. But just as he was about to lift the curtain and go out, he heard a voice from behind him: "Second son, what I asked for before is related to the person you said!" ”

Hey?

Zhang Jiazheng stood up all of a sudden. He turned his head and glanced at Qin Sanniang with a suspicious face, and saw that she had moved to the side facing him, and actually bowed deeply to the ground again, he thought for a while and then glanced at the two fox friends who reported the news, and waited until they went out to guard with knowledge and interest, he paced back, sat down in the main seat again, lowered his voice and commanded: "You say." ”

"The slave family sued Wang Fulin, who was unlucky, turned his face ruthlessly, and cheated me out of money!"

This time, Zhang Jiazheng, who originally wanted to drink another glass of wine to digest the news about the eldest brother just now, couldn't help it, and actually squirted out a sip of wine. He looked at Qin Sanniang in amazement, and then his eyes gradually brightened, and he immediately asked: "The Wang Fulin you are talking about is the Wang Fulin who was the top three last year, and the Wang Fulin who caused that great turmoil recently?" ”

"That's him!"

"Are you sure it's really him?"

"Yes, please ask Second Prince Zhang to make the decision for me!"

"Good!" Zhang Jiazheng slapped the table excitedly, although he brushed off a few more wine utensils, he didn't care about it at all, he only cared about being happy. He got up and said word by word, "Okay, you listen to me, you want justice, I'll give you a chance." I will take you to Wang's house in two days, as long as you tell everything about it at that time, then I will keep you to get justice, and the traitor deserves the end! He was about to ask for more details, but he saw Qin Sanniang raise his head and be full of ecstasy, and then slammed his head several times, and then fell there crying with joy.

Although he didn't have much suspicion, out of prudence, he still went out and asked the other two people who came with him to find ** to ask for an understanding, and when the two came back and relayed the words of Bustard Mother Min's mother, he was suddenly more convinced, and he almost didn't sing God Help Me at the moment. So, he didn't have the heart to look for flowers and ask Liu again, and hurriedly made an appointment to send someone to pick up Qin Sanniang tomorrow, and then went home immediately. Knowing that his eldest brother was called by his father as soon as he came back, he hurriedly went directly to the study, and as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he found Zhang Taizheng coming out of it in despair.

"Big brother!" Seeing that Zhang Taizheng pulled the corners of his mouth and showed an expression that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, Zhang Jiazheng went up to greet the person, glanced at the study again, and finally chose to walk out side by side with the person, and said in a low voice, "That Wang Fulin doesn't even want a face, so we can't let him go." In two days, I will accompany you to the door to get this festival back! (To be continued.) )
