After three rounds of drinking, Xia Huanfeng asked Ming Yi why he was in a hurry to exchange money, and Ming Yi felt that there was no need to hide it, so he explained the schedule of the White Dew Flower Club in Xinglu Courtyard, and described Kwai Niang's situation again.

Xia Huanfeng listened, his expression was calm: "I have not been in Chang'an for a long time, but it is the first time I have heard of this flower party. ”

"Xia Niangzi is not one of those lustful men, so she should be unfamiliar with this. I also got involved because I was familiar with my teacher. Mingyi felt the need to explain why he had been involved in the Qinglou Flower Club.

Xia Huanfeng didn't care about this, but cared about Hong Yi: "That lady is the protagonist of the hairpin festival tonight, right?" ”

"It should be, I hope she can find a good one." Mingyi still had a trace of worry after all.

Xia Huanfeng was a little puzzled: "I see that the master has a good temperament, chic and elegant, without any wind and dust, why didn't you want to redeem yourself early?" ”

Ming Yi explained: "This gem is the private collection of Shi Niangzi. If all of it is used for redemption, there will be no more self-defense capital. Besides, she has no support outside the Xinglu Courtyard, and my gleaning workshop has not improved, so I can only grieve her for a while. Fortunately, Yin's mother let her go, and there were guests who were willing to send gold and silver after playing the piano and chatting for a while, and they didn't have to reluctantly pick up guests. Tonight, I'm afraid I can't hide from it. ”

Xia Huanfeng smiled lightly: "Sister doesn't need to worry too much, the master is smart and blessed, and she has her own creation." ”

"I've borrowed my sister's words." Mingyi bit her lip, she didn't understand Hong Yi's situation, who wants to be bald if she has hair. It's just that one is willing to pretend to be strong, and the other is willing to pretend to be confused, so that they can be calm and not form a knot.

Full of wine and food, Xia Huanfeng asked his coachman to send Mingyi back to Xinchangfang, lest she be unsafe with the silver, so she told the coachman a thousand times. Ming Yi watched from the sidelines, and only sighed in his heart: This woman has financial ability, plus delicate and considerate, she is really a hundred times better than a man. It's a pity that she is a daughter, and her heart is always wasted on a man who is out of tune, and in the smell of alcohol, I think of Qiu Zhi and Wu Qianping. She shook her head, get out of here, get out of her head.

Mrs. Xia's carriage is spacious and comfortable, and it is arranged like an exquisite private room, with a cushion of Shu brocade, a Persian blanket under her feet, a fan with incense, a few neatly folded silk handkerchiefs, and candied fruit wrapped in paper in the corner, lest the people in the car be bored or disgusted.

Even the driver who drove the car was different from other families, and after asking her, she was not in a hurry to rush back, and the car was slower and very safe. The road was also a wide avenue, swaying leisurely, she came up with wine, and actually fell asleep with a cushion.

"Lady?" Hearing a familiar voice in her ears, she knew that it was Lianshan, so relieved that she didn't even have to open her eyes, she was hugged by him, bowed down and got out of the car, listened to him thank the coachman, and went to the house.

The sun was still strong outside, Mingyi frowned, hid his face in Lianshan's arms, stole a piece of shade, and continued to fall asleep. Lian Shan carried her to the bed side of his porter hut, seeing that he didn't have a thick futon on the hardwood bed, he was afraid of her, so he didn't dare to put it down, so he simply sat on the wooden bed, so that Mingyi was still leaning on his arms, one arm as a pillow, one arm as a quilt, and he didn't move like a mountain.

When Mingyi woke up, he opened his eyes and was facing Lianshan's face, very close, he was darker, and his face showed a more manly silhouette because of his thinness. Seeing her wake up, Lian Shan's trance-like eyes suddenly focused, and there was always some unbearable bitterness in her smile: "It's still early, it's too late for the lady to sleep for a while." ”

Only then did Ming Yi realize that his posture with him, if he was seen, it would be a good show. He got up suddenly, and his head hurt a little: "Have you collected the money?" ”

Lian Shan stood up, his arm was probably numb, and he took out the money bag from his arms a little stiffly: "I saw it when I took the lady off the car, and it was already put away." ”

"You count, thirty taels is right. In the evening, you take this letterhead with you, and you can enter the open courtyard by which you can enter the open house. Ming Yi handed over the letterhead, and thought about the handwriting and Yin's mother, and decided that after the matter was settled tonight, he would definitely stop her and ask clearly, "Don't lose this letterhead if you use it, give it to me at night, it's still useful." ”

Lian Shan put away the letterhead, checked the money bag, opened it and looked at it: "It should be thirty taels, the lady really decided to use it all on Kui Niang?" ”

"Use it, no matter how much money you have, you can always earn it back." Mingyi gritted his teeth.

After Ming Yi explained the matter of the hairpin flower festival, he brought the newly developed rouge, mouth grease, and gold powder, and tried makeup on Hong Yi and Kui Niang tonight to see the effect. There was not enough time, and he couldn't take care of sobering up, so Ming Yi hurried to Pingkangfang. Just walking on the road, it is inevitable that I always think of the scene in Fang Cai Lianshan's arms, and I feel ashamed. What is ashamed is that in her eyes, Lianshan will always be a child, not to play with blasphemy, she has no heart for men and women. Annoyingly, this kid can't cover his mind, and he can't do without his helper.

Do you really have to find a home for yourself, and even the mountains can die? Mingyi's head hurt even more.

When I arrived at Pingkangfang, I saw the crowd at the gate of Xinglu Courtyard from a distance. The pomp of the hairpin festival does not lose a little oiran, it is still based on the name of the post, but the rules seem to have changed, the red name post can be two people inside, four people in purple, and the number of people entering has doubled all of a sudden. Mingyi La Ling'er came and asked: "Is the color of this post particular?" ”

Ling'er shrugged: "It's all a list written by Yin's mother, and the purple name is either an official subordinate of more than three grades or a high-roller who spends hundreds of taels in Xinglu Courtyard throughout the year, and the total number of people is only ten." ”

"Why are there so many more people attending the Hairpin Festival?" Ming Yi asked and looked at it, so the guests who entered were a little uneven, but there were a total of 100 people, and it was very simple to pick a few outstanding ones.

Ling'er became familiar with her, and she talked more and more: "The list of Oiran Yin's mother is considered one by one, hoping to find a good place for the little ladies." The hairpin festival is lively, and there are many people to raise the price, so let the guests bring their close friends to come, and there are often high-rollers from other provinces who spend a lot of money. ”

The more Ming Yi listened, the more nervous he became, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to smash these thirty taels today.

When Ming Yi gave Qiu Feng to Hong Yi to try on the color, Hong Yi, who was full of boredom, finally had a little brilliance in his eyes: "This color is good-looking, between pumpkin color and small pepper, super white, I like it!" ”

"Try it." Ming Yi instigated, "I named this color Qiu Fengwan, it is the kind of maple leaf that is already red, you also put some effort into the eye makeup, and draw the shape of the maple leaf on the corner of the eye." ”

Hong Yi sat down in front of the dressing table with great interest, and suddenly thought: "Do you have that maple leaf golden flower with you?" Lend me one. ”

Mingyi applauded: "Yes! It's perfect for sticking to your hair! "Carefully took out the sachet from his bosom and took out the maple leaf in the mezzanine.

Hong Yi glanced at her movements and sneered: "You are very interested in that lady Xia, isn't it just a little golden leaf?" Look at how carefully you hide it. ”

"Are you jealous? Haha, although she is beautiful and generous, she is mysterious and temperamental...... It's not as good as you and me. Ming Yi smiled and handed the maple leaf over, "You have to be careful, it's not a problem with the little golden leaf, it's how many free meals we have!" ”

Hong Yi was about to have a seizure when she heard the half, and after listening to it, she lost her temper and snorted: "Okay, for the sake of food, spare you flowery lady." ”
