Text Chapter 38 Hongxiang Building
The two followed in, naturally did not dare to go upstairs, and saw that the two refused to go upstairs, so they retreated to the door, but they were the children of small families who came to open their eyes, and they could not afford to spend money, so they naturally couldn't work and waited all the way.
Wei Shuisheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and entered the hall, but he didn't dare to greet the little mustache and mother-in-law who were full of flowers and branches in the room, but Li Xiaoqi was curious and excited, turned his head to look around, and pulled him to sit around a corner, this place has the best view, and can be taken care of on three sides.
The two of them just sat down, the next half bowed, trotted over, holding the flower card, water card, Wei Shuisheng was uncomfortable wanting to aim but did not dare to look at the corner of the platform The group of prostitutes wearing apricot blossom crowns, wearing flower branches, and smiling back and forth, did not see the flower card and water card handed over next time, Li Xiaoqi took the water card while laughing, glanced at it twice and handed it back, and ordered with a smile: "Our brother is just here to see Miss Peony's dancing skills, open your eyes, and don't use this flower card today, Just serve a plate of bad crab, a plate of honey, a plate of jade-faced civet, and then a plate of roasted sheep's trotters, and the tea should be Pucha. ”
The next time he agreed crisply, bowed down and retreated, Wei Shuisheng realized that he was coming over next time, and looked at Li Xiaoqi with a flushed face, without waiting for him to speak, Li Xiaoqi sighed while looking around, and reproached him in an old-fashioned manner: "Don't be embarrassed, we're here to do business, hurry up and see, that, where did you go?" I can't find anyone. Wei Shuisheng's face was so red that it seemed to be dripping blood, and he was embarrassed and at a loss to turn his head left and right, Li Xiaoqi bent his eyes and smiled, no longer looked at him, only turned his head, looked at the surrounding scenery calmly, and looked around.
The next time quickly served tea and four plates of snacks, Li Xiaoqi pinched a crab leg, while biting, while looking around, not much, the surroundings cheered and shouted, the sound of silk and bamboo on the platform started, the peony girl with abnormal eyebrows and eyes twisted her waist and danced up, Li Xiaoqi stared at her for a while, this peony danced, but her eyes were only staring at the upstairs, it should be a place on the left, it seems that this dance is specially danced to a certain good look, Li Xiaoqi was bored, looked away, and continued to look around, Wei Shuisheng didn't dare to look at the stage at all, he held his breath and looked around with all his attention, looking for the shadow of the dart master.
In the courtyard outside, Zhang Gouzi stretched out his head and looked inside, as if he was looking for someone, Li Xiaoqi saw it at a glance, pulled Wei Shuisheng, and said in a low voice: "It's a dog, I'll go out and have a look." ”
Wei Shuisheng nodded, Li Xiaoqi stood up, and ran to Zhang Gouzi, Zhang Gouzi hurriedly greeted him, and said in a low voice: "Fifth master, I have turned around with the fourth master, here, in addition to this main gate, there is a side door at the back, there is no door next to it, the fourth master is guarding it, I only see people entering, but no people coming out." ”
"Well, you don't have to stay here, go to the fourth master, tell him, and see if you can get in and see the situation." Li Xiaoqi confessed in a low voice, Zhang Gouzi agreed, turned around and went out, Li Xiaoqi swayed into the hall leisurely, without waiting for Miss Peony's dance to finish, the dart master came out of the wide corridor on the left, a lady wearing a shining silver apricot blossom crown, dressed in red, and a delicate and plump young lady clinging to him, tilting his head, smiling and talking, the dart master saw the peony dancing happily on the stage, his eyes stopped straight, the lady in red glanced at the peony, gently pushed the dart master, pouted and started to snort, the dart master laughed, Stretched out his hand and rubbed the face of the lady in red, and hugged the waist of the lady in red, the two of them were almost one, and the lady in red sent him all the way to the door of the hall, reluctantly waving the red handkerchief in her hand, and watched the dart master go out of the courtyard door, only to let out a long breath, and went in briskly.
Wei Shuisheng hurriedly beckoned to come over and settle the account, and Li Xiaoqi got up and followed, the two of them quickly followed the dart master, but the dart master went straight back to the dart game all the way, and did not even stop on the road, Wei Shuisheng and Li Xiaoqi were far away, watching the dart master enter the gate of the dart game, and hurriedly turned into the alley next to him, turned a few corners, bypassed two streets, and went back to the foot shop.
Not long after, Li Zonggui and Zhang Gouzi also returned to the foot shop, several people gathered in the house, each said the situation of the day, at a loss, this dart master did not even go out of the door for a day, so he went to Hongxiang Building in the evening, and then went back to the dart bureau directly, on the way back and forth, there was not even a ditch, a ditch, a river, or anything, it was a flat bluestone street, what kind of accident could this accident be?
"Brother Guizi, have you entered the Hongxiang Building?" Li Xiaoqi turned his head and asked Li Zonggui, Li Zonggui smiled bitterly: "I went in, but I went in, next to the back door, there was a boiling water room, and if I went inside, I was blocked back and was not allowed to enter." ”
"Counting the days, his junior brother should come back tomorrow, let's keep it for another day tomorrow, the two of them have been meeting in the tea shop, if they can succeed in the tea shop, we are not familiar with the red fragrance building, and we don't understand the rules, it is easy to have an accident there, and we will look at it tomorrow for another day, if not, I have to think of another way." Li Xiaoqi said sadly, Wei Shuisheng reached out and rubbed Li Xiaoyi's head, and comforted him gently: "Don't worry, this is not just the first day, wait a few more days, there will always be a chance." After a few more words, they went back to rest.
The next day, a few people guarded to the beginning of Shen, just after a short time, the dart master went out of the dart game, went straight to the Liuye Teahouse to drink tea, Li Xiaoqi was overjoyed, and Wei Shuisheng followed into the Liuye Teahouse, sat not far from the dart master, asked for tea, absent-mindedly drunk, the dart master has asked for a bowl of ginger juice tea, is sitting alone and drinking slowly, after a small half an hour, the general officer and brother entered the teahouse in high spirits.
The dart master hurriedly stood up, with a smile on his face and clenched his fists to salute, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly turned his head to look at Li Zonggui and Zhang Gouzi who were separated by a table, Li Zonggui lowered his eyelids, Li Xiaoqi slowly exhaled, just waiting for the dart master to ask for tea and soup again.
Over there, the dart master was calling Dr. Tea one after another, asking for two bowls of Babao tea and a few candied snacks, Dr. Tea agreed loudly, turned around and ran to the back to serve tea and snacks.
Watching Dr. Tea rush into the back door, Li Zonggui and Zhang Gouzi stood up and followed out from the door where Dr. Tea went out, the two walked a few steps, looked left and right vigilantly and nervously, and carefully walked back a few steps, Dr. Tea held a tray with two bowls of eight-treasure tea and a few small refreshments, and ran out at a trot, Zhang Gouzi immediately covered his stomach, his legs were twisted in one place, his face was full of pain, and he twisted his body to look around, Li Zonggui held Zhang Gouzi with one hand, and also looked around with an anxious face, and saw Dr. Tea coming, The two ran over together as if they had seen a savior, stopping Dr. Cha, Zhang Gouzi was so anxious that he couldn't speak: "Alas, I'm coming out!" ”
"My brother has a bad stomach! Where is this hut? Hurry up, pull it on your pants! Li Zonggui hurriedly explained for Zhang Gouzi, Dr. Tea was also very anxious, and hurriedly turned around to point the direction to the two, Zhang Gouzi was so anxious that his two feet kept jumping, how could he have the heart to listen to his left turn right, Li Zonggui simply reached out and took the tray in Dr. Cha's hand: "I'll take it for you for a while, you quickly take him over, you are pointing this mess, where is it pointing!" ”
Dr. Tea laughed with him, hurriedly handed over the tray in his hand to Li Zonggui, pulled Zhang Gouzi, and ran all the way to the thatched house, Li Zonggui quickly looked around, took out a small pottery bottle from his sleeve, looked at the two tea bowls on the tray, and hesitated slightly, these two tea bowls, who knows which bowl those two people drink? Simply, don't do it all and don't stop it! Li Zonggui poured the thick Bo in the clay bottle back into a bowl of medicinal juice and poured it clean. After putting away the bottle, Li Zonggui vigilantly watched the surrounding movements, and gently shook the tray, making the two bowls of tea shake non-stop, and the black-green medicinal juice disappeared in a moment between the thick eight treasures.
Dr. Tea wiped his sweat back, took the tray, thanked him repeatedly, and held the tray and sent two bowls of tea and refreshments to the dart master and the general's junior brother.
Li Zonggui waited for Zhang Gouzi to come back, returned to the table and sat down together, looked at Li Xiaoqi who was staring at him, nodded his head as if he didn't have anything, Li Xiaoqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the corner of his eyes looked at the dart master and the junior brother who had drunk half of the tea bowl, and became worried and anxious, Nabo fell back, she only knew that she would have a heart attack if she ate it, but how toxic it was, what about the dosage and the time of the attack, she only knew that she didn't die immediately, but how long did it take to have an attack, and whether she could be poisoned, she really wasn't too sure, it was all gross estimates, Anyway, the amount is in line with the preference for more than less, alas, in addition to arsenic on the mountain, there is only this medicine available, if you go into the city to buy it now, the medicine will not be hidden from people, it is simply sent to the door to find death, I hope this amount is not too bad, but don't fall directly into this teahouse to die.
The dart master and the junior brother were gossiping in a comfortable mood: "•••••• Miss Peony actually came out to dance last night, she hasn't come out for a while, and her name has been erased from the flower card. ”
"It's Lord Yan of Zhizhou, Lord Yan arrived in Zhengcheng, and our handsome man gave him the wind, so he invited this Miss Peony to help him, who knows that he will meet Lord Yan's eyes!" The general's junior brother smiled disdainfully: "The one surnamed Yan, born in the same Jinshi, also served as a county magistrate before, and then somehow let him climb the Wu family, I heard that he also recognized his godfather, so he chose this Zhengcheng to be the governor, phew!" He had never seen anything in the world, and he was fascinated by the broken goods ridden by 10,000 people. The general pursed his lips and let out a low 'puff'.
