Chapter 61 Helpless
The streets are bustling with traffic and crowds.
Qian Ye stood quietly in front of the teahouse, stretched out his hand and pulled his hat. She thought she had escaped, but at most it had angered the crowd. But unexpectedly, Six Doors even sent people out to look for her. Could it be that he was unwilling to arrest her and go back and beat her up?
At this moment, Qianye knew in her heart that Shangguan Mingxin was thinking that it was best to have a rope, so she simply tied her to the gate of the six doors, and she was worried about escaping, and she dared to escape successfully.
Great Xia has harmonious relations with its neighbors, and even merchants from all over the world can be seen everywhere on the streets of the capital, including those with blonde hair and blue eyes, as well as those with red hair and black eyes, and it is not without Fusang people like Qianye who wear Fusang clothes, hats, and long knives at their waists. It's just a normal thing, and walking on the street doesn't attract any attention. But those blonde and blue-eyed foreigners had a little more attention than her. Besides, Shangguan Mingxin didn't know much about the news that Qianye came from Fusang, and he didn't deliberately tell his subordinates, so he was naturally missed.
When Qian Ye came to the city gate, he saw that there were also people from the six gates watching. frowned, and secretly scolded this group of people for being really idle, but there was nothing they could do. After standing there and watching in silence for a while, she turned and walked in the direction she had come. Naturally, the inn could not continue to live, so it could only find a place to stay for a few days, and wait for the wind outside to pass, and then make plans.
Doushabao stayed in her arms obediently, probably feeling the anxiety and irritability of the owner, and was quiet all the way.
Qian Ye did not take Suzaku Street this time, but chose a few alleys. Suzaku is crowded with people, and although it is easy to hide, it is also the main target of the investigation. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she thought of a good place to go.
Most of the alleys near Xuanwu Street are low-cost brothels. Ordinary people don't want to live here, but they can't bear the cheap price of the houses here, but it also attracts many poor people to live nearby.
On weekdays, standing on Xuanwu Street, you can hardly see any figures. Even if you really live nearby, you don't want to walk on this street for fear of encountering anything dirty. Even the men only walk through the alleys, for fear that people will look like they live here, and their faces will be dull.
When there was a knock on a courtyard door in the banker's alley, it didn't attract anyone's attention. Most people go out to work during the day and only return home at night to eat and sleep.
The turtle slave yawned and walked out of the convenient room at the courtyard gate, shouting, "Who! It's broad daylight! "Even his small brothel doesn't usually take customers during the day.
However, the moment he opened the door, he was dumbfounded. Because the young man in red in front of him was the one he saw yesterday. The boy was still wearing a hat, and his dress was no different from last night. It was because it was daylight, and he saw that the young man had a white puppy with wet eyes in his arms.
"This guest, who are you?"
The young man glanced at him lightly and said, "It's still the same house from yesterday, clean it for me a little, I'll stay for a few days." ”
The turtle slave said silently in his heart: If you find a place to sleep, you won't go to the inn! But how could he refuse this door-to-door deal. Besides, this is just a stay, and it's not a girl, so it saves them trouble!
"Guilan, open the door!"
The woman who was still wearing a middle coat pushed open the door, but it was much neater than last night. When she saw the familiar red-clothed young man beside the turtle slave, she was stunned for a moment before asking, "This is?" ”
"This little boy values your room and plans to stay for a few days. You hurry up and clean up now. ”
Qian Ye glanced lightly at the room behind him, which was a little dim even in the daytime, and said loudly: "Open the window and sunshine, it smells musty." ”
The woman's body stiffened, and she actually felt a little embarrassed. She picks up customers in this room every day, and only takes the quilt and mattress out to dry, but she hasn't opened the window for a long time.
"Childe, you take your time here, and the little one will go down first. If there is anything to command, the little one is called the sixth son. The turtle slave didn't sleep all night, so he was naturally sleepy, and after talking to Qianye, he hurriedly walked towards his room and went back to make up for sleep.
There was still about an hour before noon, and Qian Ye watched Guilan open the window, take out the futon and put it in the yard to dry, and did not make a sound. Bean paste circled around her feet, looking curiously at this small place that she had seen last night but had never visited properly.
After Guilan cleaned up the house, she stood crampedly in front of Qianye.
Qian Ye saw that she had changed into a floral dress, which didn't look like what she saw on the street, but like the clothes that the women of the Zhuang family loved. Expecting that he was definitely not this identity before he was with a woman, Qian Ye simply didn't speak.
"Childe, the room has been cleaned up."
Qian Ye nodded slightly, "Tell the turtle slave here that even if I'm not in the room, you're not allowed to pick up guests." I don't want to clean up my house and come back with another mess. ”
Guilan nodded silently, her expression unchanged. She's been in this business for many years, and she hasn't seen any battles! No matter how ugly the words were, she experienced it, and people didn't say anything, so she was pretentious. Those of them who are technical women, whether they want to or not, others scold you for being a cheap woman. Don't you say, aren't you cheap?
"Childe, from the slave family."
"I'm going out to dinner and I'll be back then." Qian Ye said, handing the burden that had been carrying on his arm to Guilan. "Help me keep an eye on it."
Guilan took it a little flattered, and her gaze at Qian Ye was a little warmer.
For these Qian Ye, she didn't pay attention to it, there were only a few clothes in the baggage, and her identity was all on her body, even if this burden was turned over by others, or thrown away, she didn't have anything to care about. At most, it's just a pity for her clothes.
After she finished speaking, she picked up the bean paste bag on the ground and walked outside, but after thinking about it, she turned back again. "Do you have rouge gouache in your room?"
Guilan was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded: "Yes." Although she doesn't usually dress up, this rouge gouache is also something that her daughter usually prepares at home.
"Borrow and use."
Guilan treated Qianye to the mirror and handed her the dressing box. Qian Ye took the lip grease and eyebrows, and began to stroke them on his face. The bronze mirror was blurry, and her face was also blurry. At this moment, Qian Ye found this bronze mirror helpless for the first time.
Her complexion was already fair, and there was nothing in the dresser box that could be adjusted, so she simply used a dark color to thicken her eyebrows, and used some lip grease to apply her own lip color.
Qianye's lips are bright red, while Guilan's lip grease is slightly peachy pink, and a little bit of fragrant powder is thinly covered on the lips, showing a slightly sickly lip color.
looked in the mirror, and applied another layer of incense powder to his face, so that he faced Guilan.
Guilan stood behind her, only to see her scribbling and painting, thinking to herself, isn't this the son of a family who has some quirks? Unexpectedly, when Qianye turned his head, he startled Guilan. Why did he see a boy who had been sick for a long time at a glance appeared in front of him, and even the tips of his eyebrows could see a trace of sickness. "Childe, you are ......"
Qian Ye was extremely satisfied with the stunned expression on Guilan's face, this technique of makeup was learned from the same people in his previous life. Those who do their job will occasionally need to disguise themselves, otherwise they will be too insecure.
"I'm afraid of meeting acquaintances I don't want to see on the road." She said lightly.
A hint of clarity flashed in Guilan's eyes, looking at the temperament and appearance of this young man, he expected that he was not the son of an ordinary family. It must have been secretly run out without telling his family, and he even brought a pet. I'm hiding, and I don't have enough money in my purse, so I'm living here!
