July, 23rd.

Early in the morning, Li An arrived at the gate of Xiao Heng's courtyard, but was persuaded to leave by a servant: "Young Master Yun Heng contracted the wind cold last night, and it is inconvenient to see guests today, please go back." ”

Li An shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that today's good news can't be shared with Brother Yun." He walked away with a fan.

And the master who was "infected with the wind and cold" is now lying in ambush on a big tree in the mountain behind Mufu. He was the only one, who had been squatting here for two hours, his legs numb and sore, and he secretly doubted the reliability of the news.

More than half an hour passed, and just as Xiao Heng was about to leave, a sneaky figure finally came out of the small door. The man stood at the doorway and kept looking, anxious, looking at the mouth of the alley from time to time. After waiting for a long time, a low-key carriage finally came.

The man, on the contrary, was not in a hurry to get into the carriage, and first scolded the coachman in a low voice before getting into the carriage. Xiao Heng also followed. The carriage stopped and went, detouring several alleys, and he was so vigilant that he almost lost it several times. After a long detour, I arrived at the place - sure enough, it was Xinxianglou.

The man still didn't go to the main entrance, and went around to a deep alley behind the building, outside a small hidden door, a person seemed to have been waiting for a long time, his face was full of impatience, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately changed into a flattering face. The two of them didn't say much and walked through the small door. Naturally, he couldn't continue to follow through the small door, so he went back to the main entrance and entered Xinxiang Building.

Xinxianglou, as the name suggests, knows what place it is, as soon as he entered the door, several women who saw him were all bright-eyed and rushed up.

"Xiao Langjun, why haven't I seen you before? First time here? ”

"It's the first time you're here, so you're going to have to enjoy it, come with me."

Xiao Heng was surrounded by a group of rouge gouaches, he couldn't breathe, he shook off the hand holding him: "Get out!" ”

The woman was frightened, and fell back a few steps, and the others retreated. Seeing that he was not easy to provoke, they all said broken words and scattered.

The lobby was all chilled down by the rolling words, and everyone looked like they were watching a good show. In the silence, one person suddenly spoke: "Yo, it's really a chaste little Langjun." But they all came to this Xinxiang Building, why are they still twisting and pinching, and they are childish. ”

The people sought the source of the voice. On the second floor, there was a knight with a sword on his back, looking handsome and extraordinary, but he said such words. Xiao Heng also followed the prestige, but the man raised his eyebrows at him, covered his mouth and nose with a white veil, he couldn't see the real appearance, but he could also imagine what kind of smug appearance he was. He was followed by a white-faced scholar, his face flushed, he pulled the corner of the man's clothes, and shook his head again and again.

The two were in a stalemate for a while, and Xiao Heng said coldly: "Where you go, you don't necessarily have to do something, little brother, it's better not to talk nonsense." ”

The chivalrous man shrugged his shoulders and clenched his fists generously: "I can't see that I am still thin-skinned, if I say the wrong thing and provoke Brother Ren, I hope I will forgive me." ”

Xiao Heng ignored him, turned around and continued to walk in the direction of the small gate where the two had gone before. The lobby resumed its hustle and bustle, and the chivalrous man knocked a melon seed and shook his head: "Big man, I can't afford to make this joke, Cui Niang took his hand and shook it off, tsk, how slippery that little hand is......"

"Childe!" The scholar kicked him, his face flushed.

Xiao Heng delayed a little time, and it was a lot more difficult to find the place where the two had gone before. He secretly felt unhappy with the person just now, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't be embarrassed now. He wandered around the Xinxiang Building for a long time, but he couldn't find any trace of the two people, and he got lost and walked to the third floor.

I met the chivalrous man again. He was leaning against the door and talking to a girl, causing the girl to squeak and laugh, and when he saw him coming, he whistled: "Yo, fate, brother, you can't find the girl yet?" ”

Xiao Heng's face darkened, and he was about to walk quickly, but he didn't think that the man added: "Look at the appearance of my brother, I didn't come to have fun, right?" What, do things? Get? ”

He paused. Seeing that he was really in trouble, the chivalrous man waved his hand to let the girl retreat and walked to Xiao Heng's side: "This Xinxianglou is mixed, everyone has it, revenge and revenge, who do you want to find?" Maybe I can help, just because I just made amends. ”

Xiao Heng didn't want to pay much attention to it, but it can be seen that this person seems to be often mixed in this Xinxiang Building, and he is quite familiar with the people in the building, so he asked: "On the 3rd, 13th, and 23rd of each month, who often comes here in these days?" ”

"Eh, I'm not the boss, how do I know?" Seeing that Xiao Heng was about to leave again, he hurriedly said: "Eh, don't worry, I'm not the boss, but I know this shopkeeper, and it's okay to help you ask." ”

He turned around and was about to go downstairs to find someone, and before leaving, he pointed to the door of the girl just now: "If my brother is tired of standing, you might as well go in and sit and rest." ”

In the middle of the night, he brought someone back. Seeing that Xiao Heng was still standing in place and had not moved, he sighed twice: "Brother is really guarded like jade." ”

"Why did Guan Gongzi talk like this, saying that my girl from Xinxianglou would eat people." The shopkeeper seems to have a good relationship with Guan Gongzi.

Xiao Heng didn't delay chatting much, and asked directly: "On the 3rd, 13th, and 23rd of each month, does anyone always come these days?" ”

"Who knows! Countless people enter and leave Xinxiang Building every day, who remembers. ”

"Think about it." Guan Gongzi leaned against the door.

"Three days, thirteenth days...... Let me think about it. ”

"It doesn't seem like there's anyone like that...... No, absolutely nothing. The shopkeeper frowned and thought for a moment.

"So, are there any private rooms that have been booked these days?"

"It doesn't seem to be ...... Oh yes, the epiphany room is always wrapped up these days, and that person often comes with a friend. ”

"Then eight or nine will not be far from ten." Xiao Heng nodded and thanked the shopkeeper: "Thank you." “

The shopkeeper stopped again and again: "Eh, no, no, it was Guan Gongzi who called me, don't worry, don't worry." ”

Xiao Heng turned to Guan Gongzi and thanked him: "Thank you Gongzi for your help." ”

"No need to thank you, just invite me to drink next time." Guan Gongzi shook the wine jar in his hand and turned to leave.

Xiao Heng shook his head. This Guan Gongzi is really a strange person, if he didn't have something to do, he would have to drink two altars with him.

He asked the shopkeeper where the epiphany was, and turned to go upstairs.
