Shen Zetang smiled after being slightly stunned, let her grab her arm, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, there are rules for survival in all walks of life, and the same is true here. ”

I know a lot! Shun Yu let go of his hand and glanced up at him.

Shen Zetang pursed his lips: "Listen to what others say, I don't come here." “

Shun Yu felt a little strange in his heart, in fact, whether he came or not had nothing to do with him!

But I saw the plump prostitute dangling her white breasts in front of her eyes, trembling and running over, and in the heart of the street, she picked up the collar of the back of her slender body, raised her fat hand and slapped her head, and scolded: "Beat you to death in the dung door to beg for a living, you are bold, dare to come here to grab customers!" ”

Shun Yu looked fixedly, it turned out that it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy who was beaten, but he learned to wear a woman's makeup, a hairpin, a pomegranate red skirt, and a staggered to the ground, accidentally fell down and only embroidered mandarin duck red shoes, and was kicked away by another prostitute who gathered around to see the excitement, smashing around, falling into the stinky ditch, and floating away.

The boy's mouth was still reckless: "It's just that you've beaten this, what are you panicking about, foxy and weird prostitute?" ”

These words instantly touched the sore spots of the prostitutes, and everyone along the street shouted: "Hit, beat, beat!" ”

Angry and angry, a few more gathered to vent the cold resentment of the business, some slapped him in the face, some twisted and pinched his shoulders and backs, some took the opportunity to strip off the brocade ornaments on his head, earrings, and the silver bracelet on his wrist, and even worse, they wanted to peel off his pants with their empty hands, and shouted in their mouths: "The root of evil is always useless, it is better to cut it and feed it to the dog." ”

Feng Shuanglin's face suddenly turned pale and bloodless.

Shen Zetang's steps gradually got faster, Shun Yu looked sideways while walking, and the boy had tears and blood marks on his face, and he was finally outnumbered, crying and shouting for his mother to help.

I didn't want to look at it anymore, but when I turned around, I had reached the mouth of Tianshui Hutong, an old prostitute sat on a chair and drank a burning knife, while picking her teeth, and saw these people going in the direction of Cherry Xiejie, which was the bridge of Youtong's ecstasy, so he sneered and shouted with a drunken face: "The world is going down, you lose the waterway, and walk up the dry road!" “

Shun Yu had been in the Qin Mansion and the palace in his previous life, and he was a place to be cautious in his words and deeds, but he had never heard of any waterways and dry roads, and he wanted to ask Shen Zetang, but he thought that such a vulgar woman must not have said good things, and he asked to find himself embarrassed, so he simply pursed his lips and ran to keep up.

Turning into Cherry Diagonal Street, I suddenly entered another world.

The bluestone road is neat and tidy, the water has not yet dried, there are pieces of wet prints, the ancient trees on the two sides of the green onion cage, the flowers are like brocade, there are quite a lot of people coming and going, it is difficult to walk quickly in the bustling, look at the passers-by dressed up, but as Zheng Baoying said in the matter, the officials, Confucian scholars and even the Liukou City are all good men.

Like the Gutang row upon row, every few steps is a pink and white wall, the crack of the water mill table is deliberately mottled with moss, the vermilion door is half opened, and the other half is closed.

A red lantern hangs on the eaves, and three or five people sit or stand at the threshold.

Shen Zetang and Er Feng walked and stopped, not going to the bustling crowds, and suddenly saw that there was a place where the front of the door was very clean, so he pointed in that direction.

The two young and strong attendants standing in front of the door showed joy on their faces, greeted them very attentively, and said with a smile in their mouths: "Ye Mo looks at my loneliness here, because I have only moved from Li Hat Hutong for a few days, and the regular customers have not been found. ”

Shen Zetang bowed his head, looking at Feng Shuanglin's calm face, Feng Shunyu was a little nervous, thinking about it, he simply held her wrist and pulled her towards the house.

Shun Yu was taken aback, raised her eyes to look at him, her expression was very calm, but it seemed that she was thinking nonsense, but the slender and powerful fingers were really disturbing, and when she hesitated whether to break away, Shen Zetang suddenly let go.

Originally, I entered the house, and in the center was a large round table with yellow pear inlaid flowers and bird patterns, and seven or eight official hat chairs of the same color were placed in a circle.

The four of them chose a chair to sit down, Shen Zetang sat Feng Shuanglin and Shun Yu on both sides, and Shen Huan chose the chair next to Feng Shuanglin to sit on.

Shun Yu looked around, but saw that the flower stand against the wall was full of all kinds of antiques, I don't know what incense was burned, and it smelled faintly sweet.

At the end, there is a curtain of Hunan bamboo sprinkled flowers, you can hear someone giggling and laughing, as well as the rhythm of tuning the sheng and trimming the strings, which is Youtong's bedroom, which shows the ready-made place when the love is thick.

The attendant poured fragrant tea and brought a white porcelain basin, which was covered with ice cubes and soaked in fresh fruits, melons and lotus roots, but seeing the white smoke, the scorching heat in the house gradually dissipated.

At this time, I heard the sound of the curtains, and out of it came out two excellent boys who were no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a white and straight coat, who had never made up a woman's makeup, but only braided their black and dripping hair into long braids, hanging down behind their backs, and swaying back and forth between walking, which looked very charming.

One of them held a bamboo fungus in his hand, and the other held a white jade flute, and came to salute with a smile.

Shun Yu took a closer look, the goose egg face called Shuiqin, the willow eyebrows were green, the starry eyes were bright, and the posture was looking forward to Shenfei, and the other one called the narcissus, with a round apricot face, round body bones, and a ball of powder showed innocence, and he secretly thought in his heart that the two of them were indeed annoying in their own ways.

And the water piano narcissus is also looking, seeing that all the Yushu is an ordinary guest in the wind, and he is very happy in his heart, and he must redouble his favor.

Shui Qin then smiled and asked: "I don't know what drama you want to hear, the two of us are good at "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Legend of the West Chamber", and the next ones such as "Cuiping Mountain", "Han Palace Autumn", "Palace of Eternal Life" and so on can also be sung pleasantly. “

Shen Zetang pondered for a while, and said in a gentle tone: "A few of us just came out of the opera garden, and the gongs and drums are still sonorous in our ears. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Huan, Shen Huan understood, took out the silver from his sleeve cage, and handed it to the grandfather who collected the money.

The water organ and Narcissus handed the instrument in his hand to the attendant, and came over with joy, wanting to find a chair to sit on.

Shen Zetang's eyes suddenly flashed slightly, and he got up and switched seats with Shun Yu, in this way, Narcissus sat next to him, Shui Qin sat next to Shen Huan, and Feng Shuanglin and Shun Yu sat in the middle.

Shui Qin washed his hands, selected a slippery water chestnut from the ice, carefully peeled it with a knife, glanced at Shen Zetang, bent his lips and asked with a smile: "Where did you come from?" Is it an official or a businessman? It doesn't look like it's going to be a character like this! ”
