Red Dust Inn Chapter 37 Flower Wine Meets the Deceased (I)
Night falls quietly in Qibao County, people who are busy during the day bring their families and mouths, and return home one after another, one by one the neighborhoods are silent, at the same time, the county's famous "Yinghua Lane" is extremely noisy, as if deliberately trying to break the tranquility of the night. The shops on this street are only open at night, and they are all nightlife-related businesses, these shops are like a gold hole, as long as the customers have money, they can meet all the wishes and needs of the customers, and fill the empty night time with the sound of dogs and horses.
Generally, people who come to this street to consume are very familiar with this place and know what is being done here, but today there is one person who is an exception, she knows nothing about this street, and it is the first time to come here.
She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a pink dress, with a sword wrapped in black cloth hanging from her waist, a veil over her face, and a white horse in her hand. She looked at the Qinglou Inn, where families were flowing endlessly and people were coming and going, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
This girl's name is Li Zhenzhen, and she once had a relationship with Zhao Zheng.
A few days ago, she had sent the wronged hunter to a safe place, and she only wanted to meet the shopkeeper sister who was quite close to her, thank her, and then make friends. The reason why she settled in this Qibao County was just to pass through this place, stay for a day or two and then leave.
She has a soft spot for red sè, likes to wear red sè clothes, and also likes the red sè sword in her hand, but in order to avoid people's eyes, she has to reluctantly put on other Yan sè's clothes, and even the scabbard is covered with a layer of cloth. When she first taught those catchers, she covered her face with a face towel, and only the red sè was a significant feature all over her body, and she changed out of red clothes, so she didn't have to worry about anything anymore.
She wanted to find an inn to stay in along the way, but she didn't expect to accidentally come to this land of smoke and willows, she wanted to turn around and leave at first, but driven by curiosity, she stayed, intending to explore and see what these places were all about.
She is a famous family, and her family education is very strict, although she knows about places like Qinglou, but no one has ever told her what these places do. She had wanted to figure out this answer for a long time, and today she took this opportunity to satisfy her curiosity.
Of course, she just wanted to unravel the mystery, and had no more plans.
"Little girl, I saw you all the way, looking left and right, could it be that you were looking for something?" An old bustard with heavy makeup was soliciting customers on the street, stopped in front of Li Zhenzhen, giggled and asked, "I have everything in this 'Red Apricot Building', maybe there is something you are looking for." ”
"I'm looking for a dead man's head, am I?" Li Zhenzhen glanced at the old bustard and asked lightly.
"The girl is really joking, what is there to find in the dead man's head." The old bustard was well-informed, and saw that the girl had a sword hanging from her waist, and it seemed that it was not easy to provoke, so he retreated to the side and no longer touched the moldy head.
"Hmph, I don't even have a dead head, and I dare to block Miss Ben's way." Li Zhenzhen glanced at the old bustard, whose face was like white paper and his cheeks were red, and led the white horse over.
Along the way, one after another, people came forward to talk to Li Zhenzhen, and a few bold people even got up with Li Zhenzhen's idea and asked Li Zhenzhen if she wanted to "go into the water and sell herself". Although Li Zhenzhen is masked and can't see the jade face clearly, just by her exposed eyes and the contours of her face, people with a clear eye can judge that she must be good-looking, not to mention that her figure is very beautiful, and she can charm men just by her figure.
Li Zhenzhen was accosted by many people, and some people were rude, which made her quite angry, and she almost drew a sword and cut the noses of those people. She suppressed her anger, did not have an attack, turned a corner, and stayed away from this Yinghua Alley.
Although her people left, they didn't give up the idea of going to those fireworks places to find out, but the identity of this daughter's family was too troublesome, and after arriving at the Qinglou, she had to be mistaken for the "Liuying" in the Qinglou, which was not good.
She slowed down, her mind raced, and soon she came up with a great idea, and that was to dress as a man!
A long time ago, Li Zhenzhen heard the story of some women dressing up as men when they walked the rivers and lakes, and she has been fascinated by this for a long time.
Li Zhenzhen made up her mind, inquired with the passers-by who were kind, and asked where the inn was. She went to the inn and opened a room, went into the house, opened her bag, took out a set of straight-lined deep clothes from it, and changed into a women's dress. She was dressed in men's clothes, and she took a few turns in front of the bronze mirror, and she just thought it was very interesting. It wasn't enough to just change her clothes, so she untied the two clumps of hair, tied them up with a headband, and tied them up with a simple men's hairstyle, which was finally a man's dress.
Li Zhenzhen looked left and right in the bronze mirror, looked again, raised her hand and touched her slightly bulging chest, and couldn't help frowning.
Although she wore men's clothes, she was not satisfied with her appearance, because anyone could see that she was a girl dressed as a man, even if she was blind, she could judge her xìng by the fragrance on her body.
What "male rabbit feet flutter, female rabbit eyes blurred." Twin rabbits walk on the ground, can Ann tell that I am male and female? "It seems to be all bluffing. A woman is a woman, a euphemism, a thousand charms, even if you change into men's clothes, you can't become a man, and some things can't be pretended.
"When others talk about women dressing up as men, they are so lightweight, why don't I look like them at all." Li Zhenzhen was depressed and pouted in the mirror, "But my clothes have also changed, and my hairstyle has also changed, what else can I do?" Is it possible for me to find a brush to paint my face black? ”
Li Zhenzhen thought hard for a long time, but still didn't come up with any good ideas, so she was unwilling, so she could only cover her face with a face towel again, so as to deceive herself. She left the inn in men's clothes and returned to the Yinghua Alley, peeking at the eyes of the people around her as she walked, observing their reactions.
Soon, the "Liuying" and the bustard, who were in charge of soliciting customers, saw Li Zhenzhen, and these people saw through Li Zhenzhen's disguise without exception, but no one said anything, because they mistakenly thought that Li Zhenzhen was a special guest who liked "women's style". This kind of special guest is easier to entertain than men, and they pay a lot of money, of course, they have no reason to refuse, and immediately solicit a lot, the left sentence of the son, the right sentence of the child, the call is not affectionate.
When Li Zhenzhen heard that others called her son, she only said that her face towel had played a role, and she was overjoyed, put her hands behind her back, and proudly followed one of the bustards away.
The old bustard was very enthusiastic and led Li Zhenzhen all the way to the largest green building on the street - Baihua Pavilion.
Li Zhenzhen just wanted to satisfy her curiosity and see what was going on in the Qinglou, and it didn't matter which Qinglou she went to, so she followed the bustard into the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
……
Same time, different place.
Zhao Zheng and Shen Luoxia walked side by side on the night road, their pace slowing down, a bit of a stroll. After the two of them left the Rifle Bazaar, they walked all the way here, and the sky gradually became dark. Zhao Zheng went to the city to play today, and he was in a good mood, but after the incident of Qian Chong smashing the stall just now, his good mood was thrown out of the clouds.
"Sister, I'm not in the mood to go any further, let's go home." Zhao Zheng suggested.
"Not in the mood? Why are you not in the mood? Could it be that for the sake of what happened in the Rifle Bazaar? Shen Luoxia asked again and again, she was no longer surprised by those things, and her interest in playing had not diminished.
"Well, that's because of those things." Zhao Zheng said calmly.
"How can that work, if you encounter this little thing and you will be sad, you will probably never be able to laugh in the future. The more unhappy things you encounter, the more you have to have fun for yourself, which is your sister and my trick. Shen Luoxia explained.
As soon as he heard the word "fun", Zhao Zhengyi frowned and asked, "Where to find fun?" ”
"Then you don't need to ask, of course it's a green building."
"I think it's okay today, let's do it another day." Zhao Zheng smiled dumbly.
"Today, the more bad the mood is, the more you should go to that kind of place to have fun. Now that it's getting late, the 'Baihua Pavilion' in Yinghua Lane must have been lively, let's take two quick steps and find a good room there. I know a song with a good sound, so ask her to play a cheerful piece for our sisters and brothers, so that you can feel better after listening to it. Shen Luoxia smiled and grabbed Zhao Zheng's sleeve and hurried in the direction of Baihua Pavilion.
