The next day at noon, the thin cool air poured into the nasal cavity, passing through Houhai, when he heard the northern snacks everywhere, Zhou Mushu suddenly woke up and realized that it was almost winter, the strange thing is that Lu Yuanyan reversed his attitude at the time, and was not very anxious about the Bada Hutong, so let him go home and stay for a while, Zhou Mushu was noncommittal, and ran back to his yard.

There was no Aunt Zhou in the yard, only Fu Ruoning took off her foreigner clothes, the floral jacket made people feel that they could get a lot closer, sitting and peeling garlic, she had already peeled a small basket, and was getting up to get another string, and suddenly turned her head to see him appear at the door, her eyes moved, and she was not surprised, she just bit her lip, and swallowed back what she wanted to say, "I'll go find Aunt Zhou." ”

"Thank you." Zhou Mushu was also panicked for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

It wasn't until Fu Ruoning disappeared at the mouth of the alley that he continued to sit on a chair in the yard, silently peeling the remaining garlic, and the old hen came out of the side and pecked him affectionately.

Zhou Mushu hurriedly avoided it, looked at the chicken, and touched his belly again, "What do you think I'm talking about?" Man or shell? ”

"Cluck-cluck-" the old hen chirped, scribbling her neck.

Zhou Mushu stretched out his hand and grabbed the chicken, "Will I have a short life?" ”

"Cluck, cluck—"

While tossing the hen while peeling the garlic, when the garlic was peeled, it was time to start the meal, but there was only Aunt Zhou who came back, and she could hear it at the mouth of the alley, and saw that he only scolded with tears in his eyes that he had lost weight, and said that his health had improved a lot these days, so he went to work in the kitchen.

The two of them finished lunch at the old place, and Zhou Mushu was just about to wash the dishes, when Lu Yuanyan stood at the door like a ghost, "Apprentice, let's go." ”

Aunt Zhou was sweeping the yard, and when she heard the words, she rubbed her hands in embarrassment, "Shopkeeper Lu, what's the matter?" The child had just returned, and he was also allowed to rest. ”

"It's not a big deal." Lu Yuanyan always smiled and said nonsense without blinking, "Beixinqiao has opened a new pharmacy, take him to take a look, and I'll send it back to you in the evening." ”

"Mother, don't worry." Zhou Mushu put down the bowl and went out consciously, "I'll come back as soon as possible, don't worry." ”

"Then you be careful." Aunt Zhou came out for a while, "Come back early!" ”

"Okay." Zhou Mushu waved his hand.

"You're not afraid you won't be able to come back." When he arrived at the mouth of the Eight Hutongs, Lu Yuanyan was willing to say a sentence with condescension.

"Compared to this, you might as well worry about going to Bada Hutong and not having the money to pay the bill in the end, and being tied up there." Zhou Mushu choked back, the eight alleys are full of dogs and horses, although they are not as good as when they were prosperous in previous years, they will not be soft when they are slaughtered for a fee.

In front of it is a long flower street, all kinds of lanterns have not yet been lit up, as if waiting for the night to plummet, attracting a ray of sparks to burst out and illuminate the entire Beijing city.

"I can put you there, maybe the skin can be worth two big sons." Lu Yuanyan waved nonchalantly to a kiln sister upstairs who was picking up morning guests.

Zhou Mushu was a little frustrated, although he knew that he had something to do with coming over this time, he still couldn't imagine that he would one day be able to walk in such a bright place.

Along the way, there were also many prostitutes who were in a hurry, Lu Yuanyan stopped on the edge of the flower street and stopped Zhou Mushu, "Look, where are we going?" ”

"There are so many families here, how do I know." Zhou Mushu looked at the flower archway everywhere with his eyes, "There is no big difference." ”

Although the eight alleys are famous, there are actually only a few big flower buildings, Zhou Mushu doesn't talk about flower buildings, the alleys that rub the side have to go around, this is the first time he has entered here, it is inevitable that everything is curious, and it is inevitable to make a big red face in this kind of place.

Lu Yuanyan didn't force him, and pointed to a two-story tiled building not far away, shabby, but not stumbling, "Lotus Courtyard, there used to be a lotus girl, that is called a brilliant and beautiful cash cow." ”

"She's dead?" Zhou Mushu was puzzled, "What's the hell? ”

"Huh." Lu Yuanyan waved his hand, "What's the matter, people are alive and well, it's her Langjun who is dead." ”

"It's not going to be another story like a scholar and a man in the Red Chamber." Zhou Mushuqi said, "This champion has long been out of the exam. ”

"What messy books have you read?" Lu Yuanyan looked incredulous.

"No, no, no." Zhou Mushu hurriedly waved his hand, "Then tell me what's going on?" ”

Lu Yuanyan didn't say anything, and took him straight into a small building opposite the Lotus Building, the owner of the small building was a half-blind old man, and he didn't like to talk much, so he took them to the second floor, sat down in a warm shed, and served two pots of tea.

The small building is quiet, and I happen to see the lanterns with flower signs slowly hanging on the opposite side.

"What are you singing?" Zhou Mushu looked at the corridor on the second floor of the Lotus Building opposite, "You won't be a peeking habit, right?" ”

"Fart!" Lu Yuanyan's eyes widened, "Your master and I are suave, do you lack women?" ”

Zhou Mushuqi said, "Then what do you have to sit here for?" ”

"Apprentice, Master asks you a question." Lu Yuanyan took a sip of tea, "If this brothel woman is blushing, is it a mistake?" ”

"It's not." Zhou Mushu sighed, "For example, Qin Huai Bayan, who is strong and talented, is not comparable to many men." ”

"What if the man is red-faced?" Lu Yuanyan narrowed his eyes.

Zhou Mushu was speechless, "Yes...... Is that so? ”

Lu Yuanyan looked at the Lotus Courtyard and didn't hear it, "It's just that this red face and red face water are mixed together, and they become a pot of mud, and no one can please anyone." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Mushu faintly felt that something was wrong.

"In these eight alleys, there are those who sell girls, and there are those who sell their husbands." Lu Yuanyan let out a long sigh, "Lotus Niangniang is eighteen years old and beautiful, and the twelve years old son of Lu Wu brought disaster to the country and the people, if the two of them were not for such identities, they would be extremely compatible......"

What is Xianggong, Zhou Mushu is not unclear, but this Xianggong is in love with a girl...... It's sensational.

Lu Yuanyan continued, "Sometimes, the feelings of this husband are more complicated than that of the girl. ”

The son of Wu is called Pei Huai, the name of the lotus lady is Wan Ge, Wan Ge is twelve years old, and he has been selling himself for six years and met the same twelve years old and into the dust.

At that time, Pei Huai was a prostitute at most, he was insulted outside, and he was bullied by people older than him inside, and when he met a rich patron who was willing to keep him for a while, he couldn't wait to kneel down and kowtow, but at that time, there was a warlord who somehow fell in love with him and received him in the house.

In turbulent times, it is not a scandal to play a drama and make a play, but to bring a husband into the family is indeed unprecedented and unprecedented.

For a while, everyone in the flower street said that Pei Xianggong had a good life, and he had a backer before he was old and decrepit, but the good times did not last long, Pei Huai was driven out after three years in the house, and on a rainy night, he was barefoot, dragging a tattered leather shoe, like a rag, and fell at the door of the Lotus Courtyard.

People's tone changed instantly, just because the warlord was tired of playing, and no one was willing to take him in, at that time, only Wange was alone with an umbrella and rescued him.
