Chapter 1574: Count on the heart
Mei Niang glared at Chu Huan fiercely, she didn't have time to go over to change her clothes, she heard movement in the courtyard downstairs, Chu Huan's figure was like a charm, and she had already flashed to the window, Mei Niang was a little surprised to see Chu Huan's body so light, she didn't expect Chu Huan's martial arts to progress so quickly, this room was specially chosen by Chu Huan, but the outer window was right opposite the courtyard between the front building and the back building, Chu Huan flashed to the outside window at this time, gently opened the window, and opened a small gap.
Mei Niang also rushed forward, leaning on Chu Huan's side, the two looked condescendingly, but saw the figure below flickering, a guy was leading a group of people through the courtyard to the inn building, the first one was the slender face of the leader of the team, followed by several martial artists, behind them, several women from the Peacock Terrace surrounded a woman and slowly arrived in the courtyard.
Chu Huan could see it clearly, the woman in the middle was covered with a scarf and wore a crimson light shirt, and she came gracefully.
The sky was completely dark, and the two women on the left and right were carrying a lantern, the red light was like a dream, and the faint red light was integrated with the woman's crimson clothes, which was very conspicuous.
The breeze is like water, the wind is curling, the flying flowers are in the hospital, the woman is wearing a lot of jewelry, the sound of the ring is like the ding dong of spring water, the wind chimes of the eaves appear so softly downstairs, quiet the red dust and purple Mo.
Mei Niang leaned close to Chu Huan's ear and said softly: "That's Jinling Sparrow, right?" ”
Chu Huan didn't speak, only to see the man in Tsing Yi leading a few people into the building with the guys, but the woman and the others did not enter.
It didn't take long for a sound to come from the side gate of the courtyard, Chu Huan leaned over slightly, only to see the convoy of Peacock Terrace entering the courtyard through the side door and being placed in the warehouse.
Jinling Bird stands quietly under a golden silk linden tree in the courtyard, like a daffodil blooming quietly at night.
Soon, the short and fat old man that Chu Huan saw at the city gate had already come over from the warehouse, arrived at the edge of the Jinling Sparrow, and arched his hand: "Girl, I will rest here for one night tonight, the old man will personally go out to purchase some materials needed on the road, the girl rested here earlier, there is still a lot of road to Hexi, and it will be hard along the way." ”
In fact, the old man's voice is not very loud, if he is an ordinary person, he is on the second floor, there is a distance, he may not be able to hear a word clearly, but Chu Huan can hear it word for word, it is Mei Niang, and he also heard it vaguely, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Brother Huan, how old do you say Jinlingque is?" ”
Chu Huan shook his head and said softly: "This should be asked to you, you know her better than me." ”
"I just listen to what people say, where can I talk about understanding." Mei Niang sighed faintly: "You have been staring at her, do you think she has a good figure?" ”
Chu Huan was a little helpless, "When it comes to figure, is there anyone better than you in the world?" "What he said is not a lie, Mei Niang's figure, looking at the world, there are really few people who can compare.
Mei Niang ate and smiled, and then said: "The old man called her a girl, so in this way, is Jinling Que really still a yellow flower girl?" ”
"Judging by her appearance, she should be in her twenties." Chu Huan said softly: "How long has she been famous?" It's not that she became famous in the capital first, and then went to Jinling, how is this not a matter of a few years, how old was she when she was in the capital? ”
Mei Niang chuckled: "You really don't know? ”
Chu Huanqi said: "What do I know? ”
"This kind of dancing girl, she was bought by the music fang when she was a child and started to practice dance, and she will come out to perform at the age of twelve or thirteen." Mei Niang explained: "If you are lucky and earn enough silver, you can redeem yourself, and then set up your own troupe to perform, but this is a minority, some dancers can't redeem themselves in their lives, even if they have some ability, if they really want to redeem themselves, it will also take many years of silver, and when the silver is enough, they will already be old." ”
Chu Huan nodded and said: "I know this truth, and because of this, I wonder, how can this Jinling Sparrow be so young and have its own team?" ”
"That's a one-in-a-million character." Mei Niang said softly: "I have been to Jinling before, so I have heard of her fame there." It is said that she came out to perform when she was twelve years old, and other girls have not grown up at the age of twelve, but this Jinling Bird girl is different from ordinary people, they all say that when she was twelve years old, her figure was not inferior to that of a mature woman, and her dancing skills were good, but in one year, she had a lot of fame in the capital. ”
"Oh?"
"You're just afraid to ask, she didn't have the emperor's seal at that time, why didn't anyone dare to beat her, didn't you?" Mei Niang asked with a smile.
Chu Huan said softly: "I really have this question. ”
"There are a lot of people who beat her idea, the capital is stinky, a large group of stinky men who have nothing to do, with high-sounding faces, and ...... men and women prostitutes behind their backs!" Mei Niang sneered: "How could they not fight the idea of Jinling Bird? But at that time, she was young, she shot too early, and she didn't have a good price, and after raising it for a few years, it was more valuable, so it was fine. When she became famous, she was taken by one person, and because of this, she was safe and sound. ”
"Favored?"
"An Guogong Huang Ju." Mei Niang said: "It is said that there is a year Huang Ju's birthday, this Jinling Bird was also arranged to perform, Huang Ju is very appreciative of her dancing skills, there is a lot of care, at that time Huang Ju is in favor of the government and the opposition, he fancied the person, naturally no one dares to provoke, and then Huang Ju at the queen's birthday ceremony, let Jinling Bird perform, since then, the sound of Jinling Bird all over the capital, well, that should have been a long time ago...... I'm afraid that there will be ten years of light and shadow. ”
Chu Huan understood: "Such a character, with Huang Ju to take care of, and has been given a seal by the emperor, if you want to redeem yourself, of course it won't be too difficult." ”
"That's nature. Do you know how much silver it costs to sing to the homes of those dignitaries and nobles when she was in Jinling? Mei Niang chuckled and said: "One time is two hundred taels of silver, not counting the carriage and horse fare, it was five or six years ago, and now I am afraid that it will be more expensive." ”
Chu Huan knew that for a dancing girl, two hundred taels of silver for an appearance was really not a small amount.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps downstairs, and I saw that the people who went to the building first had already gone out, and when they arrived at the courtyard, the man in Tsing Yi stepped forward and bowed his hand to the short and fat old man and said: "Manager Wu, the guest rooms on the fourth floor have been checked, and the guests who live have also been discussed, they are willing to change the room, and our people can live on the fourth floor." ”
The short and fat old man Chief Manager Wu nodded and said to Jinlingque: "Girl, you go upstairs to rest first, and they will deliver the food immediately." I heard that there is a curfew in this city, and there is not much time, so I will go out for a look first, see what I can buy, and I will have to hurry tomorrow, buy good things tonight, and if I can catch up with time, let them send them over before the curfew tonight, and if they can't catch up, let them send them over early tomorrow morning, and don't miss the trip. ”
Jinling Que didn't speak, just nodded slightly, the short and fat old man then instructed the maid to send Jinling Que upstairs, and when Jinling Que entered the building, Manager Wu instructed the people in Tsing Yi: "Leader Mao, you arrange people to be on duty at night to protect the girl's thoughtfulness, the warehouse side, send two people to guard at night, after the others eat, clean up and rest early, and hurry tomorrow." ”
Although the Tsing Yi man Mao team leader has always been arrogant, he is obviously very in awe of Manager Wu, and arched his hand: "I know below." Yes, the manager is going out in person? It's better to send someone out to buy. ”
Manager Wu shook his head and smiled: "You don't know what to buy, the old man goes out for a spin, and buys what should be bought." ”
"And send two men to follow the steward?"
"No, that's it, just let Xiao Ding go out with me." Manager Wu instructed: "You hurry up and arrange it here, and let everyone rest early, there will be a curfew soon, and the old man will go out to have a look now." ”
Chu Huan closed the window upstairs, turned his head to look at Mei Niang, and said softly: "Mei Niang, go and call Qi Hong to come over ......!" Before Mei Niang moved, she said, "That's it, I'll call him." ”
Chu Huan arrived next door, called Qi Hong over, closed the door, Mei Niang saw that Chu Huan was mysterious and secretive, a little strange, and asked, "Do you have any ghost ideas?" ”
Chu Huan smiled slightly, looked Mei Niang up and down, and then at Qi Hong, and finally chuckled, "Can you two do me a small favor?" ”
Before Mei Niang could speak, Qi Hong had already said: "Chu Du, what are these words, but there is an order, and it is ...... to go to the soup and fight the fire!" ”
"You don't have to go to the soup and the fire." Chu Huan chuckled and said, "But I told you before, this trip to Hexi, we can use the Peacock Terrace as a cover." ”
"Do you know them well?" Mei Niang pouted: "You said with the help of it?" If you can't reveal your identity, they won't know who you are, so how can they help you? ”
"They don't help me, I can help them first." Chu Huan smiled: "As long as you help them, they will owe a favor, and there are some things, so it's easy to say." ”
"Help them?" Mei Niangqi said: "How to help?" ”
"If you want to help them, you always let them get in trouble." Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Mei Niang, don't you like to rob homes and houses?" I'll give you this good errand today. ”
Mei Niang glanced at Chu Huan, "You just robbed the house and blocked the road to rob ......!" His eyes rolled, he leaned closer, and said with a smile: "What kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?" ”
Chu Huan lowered his voice and instructed a few words carefully, Qi Hong was stunned for a moment, but Mei Niang's eyes were purring.
Yunshan Mansion City will have a curfew from the beginning of the time, the Peacock Taiwu Governor did not dare to go too far, just walked around a few streets near Tianxianglou, and bought some necessities on the way to supplement, he is not very familiar with Yunshan Mansion City, some places have to ask passers-by, and wait until the required items are almost purchased, and when those shops are ordered to send to Tianxianglou, the distance is still very close, he has already crossed the street for two days, although there is a customs clearance token given by the emperor, but it is not good to delay much, return on the way, But I saw that the streets were already deserted, and the people in the city knew the rules, so they all returned home early and closed their doors.
