Shun Yu returned to Lichun Hospital, and Mei Xun and Tian Rongcha arrived and were rewarding the nursing home who reported the news.

She told them to wait outside the door, and went into the house by herself, to change her kitsch.

The brazier was filled with thick white ash, and the residual temperature gradually dissipated, and the candlelight flickered to reflect the bronze mirror with the goose egg face, showing the face of the sideburns that were slightly wet before washing.

Shun Yu combed the long black oil hair through, Bai Ya'er bit a silver hairpin, skillfully twisted the hair with his fingertips, twisted it, rolled up the bun and inserted the hairpin.

took the smoke blue square scarf and put it on, and tucked the broken hair scattered around his neck into the scarf, and suddenly his hand paused, and there were two red aftermarks on his snow-white neck, and the bite was not light or heavy, and it would take a while to fade.

Shun Yu covered the placket of his clothes upwards, shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, stood up and walked out of the door, the sky was dark, there were stars and cool dripping on his face, and it was raining.

She looked at Mason, in the house of Feng Si in Suzhou, the two of them met with wind and rain, she went through a lifetime, and Mason was young and encountered great difficulties, and the hardships were difficult to describe.

After being silent, he said to him: "Mei Xun, I have read your family's case file in Dali Temple, and your eldest brother Chen Qingqi is still alive ........ “

When Mason heard this, he was still a little incredulous, but seeing that his master's expression was firm, he knew that he didn't deceive him.

After a while, he retracted his soul and asked with joy and sorrow: "Do you know where he is?" “

Quietly looking at his instantly lit eyes, Shun Yu pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "...... It's not far from here. “

"Then the annoying master will take me there." Mason was excited, and his face was impatient.

Shun Yu looked at Tian Rong, Tian Rong understood, and came over to persuade: "It's getting late and the rain is getting heavier, and this is a mixed place, so it's better to find a blue sky and come back again." “

"That annoying master told me about the eldest brother's residence, and I went to find him by myself." Mason apparently refused to wait a moment.

"I'll take you." Shun Yu sighed, did not take the carriage, walked along the wet bluestone road, Cherry Xiejie is not far from Rouge Hutong, and you can reach it in half an hour.

The prostitutes standing on the side of the street, although their hair buns and clothes were stained with rain, threw their handkerchiefs and beckoned customers.

After dozens of steps, even the prostitutes gradually became scarce, and it was rare to see one or two lonely figures.

Mason looked around, and saw that under the Causeway Bridge, there were people holding flower boats to play in the middle of the lake, hanging lamps on green cloth canopies, sitting in three or two to buy laughers, listening to the kabuki blowing and singing, but it was a different kind of scenery.

"I don't know if the one who is holding the boat is the eldest brother?" Mason speculated with a worried expression.

There was an oil seller with two oil drums on his shoulders, staggering and stopping, he would slow down and take a closer look.

Even the roadside vendor selling sweet mash eggs, he also had to speculate, and couldn't help but say to himself: "My eldest brother was originally in the Guozijian, and then accompanied the prince to study, and he was also full of poetry and books, so he should have a bright future....... Even if he is living a difficult life now, he has high ambitions and will be able to live comfortably. “

As they were talking, a woman dressed in makeup ran past them with a bowl of sweet soup and mandarin duck embroidered shoes, and disappeared into the alley after a while.

"Master, where is this?"

Mason looked around, all of them were exquisite houses with pink walls and black tiles, most of which were deserted in front of the door, but there were also lanterns lit, and there was an endless stream of visitors coming in and out.

Shun Yu heard him ask, and said lightly: "This is like an aunt, the lower place of the male servant." The business of the original whole street was very prosperous, and after the rectification of the imperial court, the atmosphere of the capital moved, and there were fewer and fewer people who came to this place for leisurely fun. Nowadays, most of the people who come are to discuss important matters, and they need to mediate and socialize. “

Before the words fell, I saw a house in front of me, burning two bright red lanterns, the Tsing Yi attendant in front of the door served, several guests came out from the inside, a white-skinned Youtong sent each other behind, some guests seemed to be reluctant, rubbed his thin waist in the past, twisted his buttocks, and boarded the car and left with satisfaction, and the Youtong went in.

The joy on Mason's face faded away, but showed a little pale, and he suddenly said nothing, only lowered his head and looked at the tips of his shoes as he walked.

The group of Tsing Yi attendants gathered together to gossip again, and when they saw that there were guests, they hurriedly smiled and greeted them.

"This is Xianglaiyuan?" Shun Yu asked.

Precisely. An attendant pointed to the long flower sign on the door panel, which was indeed engraved with the name of "Xianglai Garden".

Shun Yu lowered his jaw and said, "Chen Ruilin is here?" I will tell him to serve. ”

The attendant smiled alongside: "He is a guest now, but if you are willing to wait, there is no inconvenience." “

Then he gave his two index fingers to ten and said, "Ten taels of silver." “

Shun Yu took out the silver from the sleeve cage and handed it over, the attendant took a look, and his expression became more and more attentive, so he led the way, passed the garden, and saw five flat houses in front of him, two of them were black on the left, and the other three windows were full of light.

I saw a boy sitting on the platform outside the window on the right, and when I saw the three of them, I hurriedly came over to greet him, and said in a small voice: "Lin Lang is meeting guests in the bedroom, you might as well go to the middle guest hall to eat tea and rest." “

The three of them had to enter the guest hall, the tables and chairs were very elegant, the boy poured tea with his hands and feet, put a few dishes on the table, and went to re-burn the plum blossom cake in the Xuande copper furnace, and added two pieces of charcoal to the brazier, and then withdrew.

I only ate half a cup of tea, but it was difficult to swallow it.

It turns out that this guest hall is adjacent to the bedroom, and only a curtain is hung in the entrance and exit, and the sound inside is very distinct, obviously dancing with the wind and moon.

But I heard the panting laughter, and there was a whining kiss, and somehow there was a bang on the table and chairs, and the man could hear the man's rough call: "Lin Lang, spread your legs apart........ Don't run away. “

Shun Yu understood what was going on, Tian Rong was very uncomfortable, coughed his throat, and simply walked to stand on the porch.

Looking at Mason's pale face again, the hand holding the cup trembled, the tea spilled on the table, dripping along the corner, the previous excitement and joy were gone, and the dark eyes were full of tears.

Shun Yu wanted to say something to comfort him, but when he saw the curtain lifted, a good boy came out of it, fourteen or fifteen years old, his white and tender face was flying red, and he was holding a copper basin in his hand, he never thought that there was someone outside, but he bluffed, and immediately pursed his lips and smiled: "Lin Lang is afraid that he is very tired today, I am afraid that he will not be able to see the guests, if he wants to see him, he is afraid that there are others, it is better to come and see him tomorrow night." ”

Shun Yu saw that Mason was silent, then shook his head and said lightly: "It's okay, it's not too late for us to wait." ”

The boy didn't say much, went straight to the door, turned around again and again, brought half a copper basin of hot water, ignored them, and took the curtain and went into the bedroom.

There was the sound of washing and talking.

After a while, that Youtong led a black strong businessman out, with a short body, an ugly face, and a very arrogant demeanor, frowning and saying: "In two days, I will bring a big official, let Lin Lang serve carefully, don't be so lazy now." ”

That Youtong is only submissive.

Shun Yu looked at the back of the merchant who was getting farther away, and then retracted his gaze, and Mason suddenly stood up and said in a trembling voice: "Master go!" I don't want to see it. ”
