Chapter 2 and 3 Solving the Dilemma

After waiting for a long time, Shun Yu tentatively pushed the door, but opened the crack with a "squeak".

She took the food box in the maid's hand, and simply stepped into the threshold, still smiling and saying to the spring breeze: "Don't hide, the red embroidered shoes on the side of the threshold have leaked your bottom, and you don't light the candle yet, otherwise it will .......!" ”

The voice stopped, the plain charcoal in the brazier flickered scarlet, and a cool and sharp blade pressed against the neck, quenching out the cold light of the forest.

"Don't make a sound, who's out there?" A man asked in a low voice, his voice crumbling.

“...... Only the maids who came with them. Shun Yu trembled all over and was extremely scared.

The man slowly withdrew his short knife and looked out through the crack in the door, and sure enough, there were two maids standing on the porch, rubbing their hands together to keep warm.

Closing the door silently, he took the candlestick and lit it near the brazier, then laid it down on the table and sat down again.

The room suddenly lit up, and when I looked up at the prostitute, I was a little dazzled, and the peach lips were so beautiful that I couldn't figure it out.

"What do you have in your hand?" He raised his finger and swallowed his saliva, only to feel his stomach beating like a drum, and he was hungry.

Then the prostitute approached timidly, put the food box on the table, and then opened it, and put it outward, bowl after plate, all of which were delicate dishes and delicate pastries, and took out a silver wine jug and two small wine cups.

Shun Yu was also secretly looking at that person, this is Yu Tai, who is greedy for 40,000 official silver.

She was slightly surprised in her heart, what kind of thief and rat-eyed person was the original way, but he was a tall, thin and white young man, dressed as a Confucian student, and had some bookish meaning.

"You take a bite of everything first." That Yu Tai was very vigilant. Shun Yu pursed her lips, put everything in the bowl, and tasted it calmly.

Yu Tai couldn't wait any longer, and raising chopsticks was a whirlwind.

Half full, I saw Shun Yu throwing a pot and pouring wine, pinching a small cup and drinking, without the crazy appearance of a prostitute, and his demeanor was very delicate.

"What's your name? There aren't many prostitutes here, and you can see that they are very raw. Yu Tai asked, but he was greedy to see that because of her drinking, her white skin was lightly smeared with pink, and she was not pretty.

"My name is Moss Flower, and I beg for a living in Lichun Courtyard." Shun Yu said as he wiped another cup of wine with a handkerchief.

"Moss flowers?" Yu Tai looked at her strangely, perhaps because he was full of warm thoughts, and he was inexplicably impulsive: "I'm going to leave here tomorrow, it's better to.... Go with me. “

"Shall I go with you?" Shun Yu poured the wine cup and handed it to him, blinking and laughing: "I have been used to raising bustards so far, but I'm afraid you can't afford it." ”

"Can't afford it?" He took the wine cup and drank it all, his white skin instantly turned red, and he said roughly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to use up my silver in your life." ”

"Your silver?" Shun Yu's eyes flowed, he looked at him with his cheeks, and said word by word: "Listen to Sister Biyun, your silver is not serious, it is a stolen official silver." ”

Yu Tai was stunned, staring at her face, and suddenly his face was gloomy and a little hideous: "Who are you?" The government sent you to arrest me? Bite off more than one can chew. ”

Shun Yu immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, narrowly avoided the palm he caught, stood up and retreated towards the window, and said in his mouth: "Yu Tai is guilty, as a government treasurer, you stole 40,000 official silver and escaped without a trace, framing Cao Zhifu and being imprisoned. If you can get all the money back, you will be given a place for tobacco barricades and will be filled with troops for life. ”

After finishing speaking, he pushed the window lattice open.

A cold night breeze poured into the house, and Yu Tai, who was holding a short knife, wanted to rush towards Shun Yu, but somehow he staggered two steps, his legs and feet were weak and difficult to walk, and he suddenly fell and the ground was difficult to get up, and his expression was suddenly shocked and angry: "When did you drug me?" ”

"In the wine." Shun Yu listened to the complicated footsteps in the courtyard from far and near, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can eat the wine too." Yu Tai couldn't believe it, but when he saw her eating a cup, he let down his guard.

Shun Yu sighed lightly: "Yes, so I smeared the drug in the wine cup...... You're careless. “

The captors had all rushed in and rushed straight towards Yu Tai.

Shun Yu put the scolding and shouting behind, took the two maids, walked out of the courtyard gate, walked more than ten steps, and saw that there was a house in front of him, and three or four attendants were chatting on the threshold, and a person wearing a towel came out of the door, and saw the scolding: "I am lazy here, I don't look at who is in the house, hurry up to meet Wang Meier in the distance, and then pick two or three prostitutes who can sing." “

"Isn't Cao Cao coming!" There was a flamboyant tongue in the mouth.

Shun Yujue behind the whirring wind, looking back is two sedan chairs, carrying a warm sedan chair with a drapery, followed by two maids, hurriedly passed with her, to the door to rest the sedan chair, the attendant has already stood up to greet each other, a maid holding the pipa, a maid opened the curtain, helped a beauty out of the sedan chair, was hugged by the front and back into the door.

Shun Yu saw that it was finally empty, and he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes to go quietly, but he thought that the person wearing a towel in the door was still there, and he just looked over, so he shouted: "You come here." “

Shun Yu stood still and refused, only bent over and bent his knees, and politely refused: "I'm not a lady here, you can find someone else." “

"It doesn't matter where you are, silver doesn't have long eyes." The man's tone was quite impatient: "This room is full of distinguished guests, come when you are asked, don't be in the midst of blessings and not know blessings." ”

Several attendants had hurried over to arrest her, but Shun Yu had no choice but to thank her and follow them into the door.

..............................

This courtyard is more magnificent, the front five upper rooms, carved beams and painted buildings, the verandah on both sides is hung with colorful silk palace lamps, the head of the room is crowded, the laughter is noisy, reflected on the vermilion rhombus doors and windows, the red dust is boundless in spring, and the eyes are full of drunken gold fans.

Shun Yu waited under the corridor, and heard the pipa playing lightly, singing tactfully and lingeringly, singing Gui Zhi'er: "....... Thinking of ginseng is the most parting hatred, just for the sweet taste of licorice Now, Bai Zhier can't write the word "divorce", and tells the gentleman not to be a negative person. ”

The names of herbs are used but they can't tell the lingering meaning of lovesickness, Shun Yu knew that it must be Wang Meier who was carried by the sedan chair, but he didn't know what kind of origin it was.

A waiter next to her listened to her and said with a smile: "This is a famous music prostitute, called Wang Mei'er, who was originally the daughter of a criminal minister, and was forced to enter the Jiaofang Division, because of her unparalleled beauty, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing, dancing, playing and singing, she is deeply favored by Xu Ge Lao." ”

Shun Yu heard it well, and she was also an ill-fated official lady.

At this moment, two or three more prostitutes came in with excitement on their faces, and the scarve-wearing one counted the number of them, and gave them a few more precepts, and ordered the attendants to raise the felt curtains, and led them in.

Shun Yu saw two large round tables in the middle, and each table sat five people in brocade clothes.

Shun Yu glanced at the group of distinguished guests silently, and was stunned.
