Chapter 39: Dream of Red Mansions

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

Don't be infatuated with tears, only complain for a long time.

True love never regrets, I hope you remember me for thousands of years.

Continued unfinished

Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and they are like water and red faces;

The love in this life is empty and sad, and the next life will continue to be unfinished.

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

Li Zunbao dragged his shoes and found a carriage in Lanshan County and was about to return to Qingshan Town, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the window.

Li Zunbao frowned, and thought to himself: "Wasn't that person just now the madman who killed the man in black that day? More than 100 lives in the villages outside Qingshan Town were brutally killed by this guy. ”

Li Zunbao thought again, "Now it's better to hurry back to Qingshan Town, and then gather people to come to Lanshan County to arrest people." ”

After five days of turbulence, Li Zunbao felt much better this time than last time, not as uncomfortable as when he first came, Li Zunbao saw the city wall of Qingshan Town, and his heart was full of excitement, this little month of travel, he finally came back safely, and he didn't know how about the broken flowers? Zhao Er, blind man, are they doing well? Has Yuan Fang's poison been resolved?

When Li Zunbao arrived in Qingshan Town, he returned to his house.

Li Zunbao kicked open the door and shouted, "Broken flowers!" Zhao Er, blind man, is there anyone at home?"

Li Zunbao shouted for a long time and didn't see anyone, and he was dumbfounded when he pushed open his door.

The room was a mess, especially the double bed in the room, which was torn apart, and the floor was littered with broken antiques and torn calligraphy and paintings.

Li Zunbao suddenly shouted in his heart, "Something bad!"

Li Zunbao began to circle around the house, his mind spinning rapidly, "I came to Qingshan Town, this house only knows about the two masters, now the room is so messy, it should be the memory of the broken flowers restored, there are no dead people here, it means that it should be on the cottage, fortunately I came to the house first, if I go back to the village, I estimate that it will be miserable." ”

Li Zunbao hurriedly walked out of the house and walked towards the hall of the mayor of Qingshan Town. When he walked to the bazaar, Li Zunbao saw the Lanshan Sect disciples one by one, and his heart suddenly became suspicious, "Strange, why did the Lanshan Sect disciples come to Qingshan County? I have to go up and see what's going on." ”

Li Zunbao secretly followed behind the disciples of the Lanshan faction, and the disciples of the Lanshan faction did not notice Li Zunbao, and walked straight into a red mansion, and the woman on the top of the red mansion coquettishly pulled the guests.

Li Zunbao raised his head and looked at it, stunned, dreaming of the Red Mansion, and thought, "This is the largest Red Mansion in Qingshan Town, is this Lanshan Sect disciple so coquettish? No, I have to go up and have a look." With that, Li Zunbao walked in.

As soon as Li Zunbao walked to the door, an old bustard at the door twisted his buttocks, walked over with a fancy show, and shouted: "Oh, hey~......! Where is this beggar, hurry up and blast it out!"

The old bustard looked Li Zunbao up and down, wearing a pair of tattered shoes that were three sizes larger on his feet, and tattered clothes on his body, and his face suddenly changed.

Two sturdy bodyguards of the Red Mansion walked over, clucking and clucking their fists on their chests with unkind faces, looking like they wanted to use force directly.

When Li Zunbao saw these two big men, he was happy in his heart, this ordinary person could do it with one hand, but then he thought that he wanted to investigate that Lanshan sect disciple, and there was no need to make trouble here.

Li Zunbao took out a gold bar, and suddenly the two big men were stunned in place, although they were stupid, but they also knew that this beggar-like man, what he took out was their deadliest thing, if you say, it's okay to beat someone, or be beaten by someone, this directly took out the gold bar, so that the two big men were at a loss, is it up or not?

The old bustard looked at Li Zunbao with a disgusted face at first, and his mouth glanced at his grandmother's house, and suddenly saw Li Zunbao take out the gold bar, and the old bustard only took 0.01 seconds to change his face into a smile, and he rushed to the front of the two big men like Jingba.

The old bustard stretched out his orchid fingers, held a handkerchief, and said coquettishly: "Oh, hey, which young master is this, I'm joking with us~~" grabbed the gold bar, a little disbelieving, bit it in his mouth, and finally confirmed that it was a real gold bar.

The old bustard turned his head and scolded: "You two stupid big men, don't hurry up and make way for the young master, be careful to let the two of you sleep in the pigsty!"

When the two big men heard this, they hurriedly got out of the way and ran away, not to mention how funny it was.

The old bustard thought to himself, "This rich family just doesn't understand, it's okay to pretend to be a beggar, and something almost happened", but then he figured it out again, the rich family has nothing to do all day, what can't they do.

Thinking that the emperor of the dynasty back then, he was not idle and had nothing to do, so he asked the minister of civil and military affairs to disguise himself as a trader in the imperial garden, and the emperor Lao'er took a broken bowl and a broken stick to ask for food one by one.

The old bustard smiled and said, "Young master, you came to our dream of the Red Mansion, which girl do you want to find, our Yueru and Lanchun girls are all idle, why don't you let them come over to take care of you, young master?"

Li Zunbao nodded and said, "Okay, prepare a big private room for me." ”

Oh, this is a beautiful bustard, why, this big private room can only be booked by rich people, the private room fee alone is 20 taels of silver, and there must be good wine and good food in the back, and then the girl will accompany her to drink and play, and finally go to bed, at least 200 taels of silver.

The old bustard happily showed all his teeth and flowers, and shouted: "Yueru, Lanchun are picking up guests~!"

After the old bustard shouted, he happily led Li Zunbao upstairs, and said as he walked: "Young master, be careful of the stairs, it's a coincidence that you came, the most luxurious private room upstairs is empty, and it's being reserved for you, do you think it's a coincidence?"

The old bustard brought Li Zunbao into the private room, Li Zunbao sat directly on the stool, and two women with a decent posture came in at the door, who looked like they should be about twenty years old, dressed up in fancy clothes, and walked to Li Zunbao and sat down.

The two women chattered and said, "Alas, young master, you are really handsome, come, drink some wine first." ”

"Young master, you are very raw, it's the first time you come here, the little woman will show you other people's treasures" As he spoke, he put Li Zunbao's hand on his chest.

When the old bustard saw that Li Zunbao was having a good time, he walked out of the room with a smile and closed the door.

The old bustard is not good, no, he said to the turtle father: "The best wine, the best dishes, and three times more when you check out..... no... Five times more... Men with gold bars, there is no shortage of money!"

Turtle Gong said happily, "Okay, Mommy. Thinking that he could earn a lot of commissions at today's table, he hurriedly ran to the kitchen happily and said to the cook: "Hurry up and make the best dishes, a big rich man has come!"

Why do turtles and prostitutes call the bustard their mothers in the Red Mansion, because the Red Mansion is a family-style management, and the biggest managers are generally retired prostitutes or rich women.

She has tortoiseclaws (thugs) under her hands, who are responsible for teaching disobedient prostitutes and unpaid customers, and maintaining the security of the Red Mansion by force. )

And the turtle (similar to a modern waiter)

The rest are daughters (aka prostitutes)

And then what about the daughters who don't have customers? On weekdays, they do some laundry, make beds, and buy groceries to earn a small amount of money.

When Li Zunbao saw the old bustard walking out, he immediately withdrew his hands, took out a gold ingot, and said, "Shut up!" I said, you answer, I am satisfied, these two ingots are yours. ”

Yueru and Lan Chun were stunned, and quickly nodded as if they were eating rice like chickens.

Li Zunbao smiled with satisfaction and asked, "Did you see the man in the blue and white striped clothes who went upstairs just now?"

Yueru blinked and said softly: "I saw it, Ye~ I saw it, he went up to the second floor." ”

Lan Chun looked at Yueru anxiously, thinking, "It's bad, let Yueru take the lead..."

Li Zunbao nodded and continued to ask, "Then do you know which room he went to?"

Yueru hurriedly said, "He went to Meng Ziyan's room!" Suddenly feeling that he had said something wrong, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

Lan Chun felt this beauty in his heart, and thought, "I'll tell Meng Ziyan what you said in a while, and see if she doesn't tear your mouth apart!"

Why do you say that, on the surface of this Menghong Mansion, the bustard is the boss, but in fact, the insider boss is Meng Ziyan, and Meng Ziyan is also the biggest Oiran in Menghong Mansion.

Because Meng Ziyan was not born very glorious, Yue Buli, the head of the Lanshan faction, could only secretly sponsor Meng Ziyan behind her back, and Meng Ziyan's mother was a prostitute herself, so Meng Ziyan started a Qinglou business, and within a few years, with the support of Yue Buli's back, it became the largest red mansion in Qingshan Town.

This time, Lanshan sent a big event, the head of the sect was betrayed by the five elders, and disappeared after being seriously injured, and sent his own cronies and disciples to send a letter to his daughter, because he was afraid that other elders would catch Meng Ziyan and threaten him.

And Meng Ziyan has been supported by her father for so many years, and she has also secretly cultivated to the second floor of the foundation, as a woman in the Red Mansion, Meng Ziyan just wants to find a man who is worthy of being entrusted for life, and then marry herself.

But I never expected that the apprentice of the Lanshan Sect (the third layer of the foundation building) who came this time was actually sent by the third elder Yue Busan, in order to kidnap Meng Ziyan.

And the apprentice sent by the head Yue Buli had already been arrested by the three elders and committed suicide during torture.

Meng Ziyan was sitting in the room, holding her father's letter in her hand, which mainly said that Meng Ziyan should quickly find a safe place to hide, she was seriously injured now, and she couldn't protect her, etc.

Qingshan, a disciple of the Lanshan faction, said with a smile: "Miss Zi Yan, the family teacher asked me to come this time just to let me take you to a safe place, and I hope Miss Zi Yan will leave as soon as possible." ”

Qingshan, a disciple of the Lanshan faction, thought evilly, "The third elder master said that I should deliver the letter, and then tricked Meng Ziyan into arresting her outside the city, but I didn't expect this little girl to be so beautiful, I can't cheapen those dead ghost masters, and wait outside the city...... Hey, hey, hey."

Although Meng Ziyan is the owner behind Menghong Mansion, she is still very worried about what happened to her father, and hurriedly asked: "Lanshan faction is good, how can my father be injured, no, I want to go to Lanshan faction quickly." ”

Qingshan hurriedly said: "Miss Ziyan, where is the Lanshan faction now, the Lanshan faction has fallen!"

Meng Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Fell? How could the Lanshan Sect fall?"

Qingshan replied, "Just ten days ago, the Arashiyama Sect's Divine Iron was actually stolen, causing the Arashiyama Sect to fall!"

Meng Ziyan said strangely: "How can the Divine Iron be stolen if it is guarded by the three elders personally, the three elders have reached the first floor of Jindan, unless the person who comes is more powerful than the three elders." ”

Qingshan smiled and said: "Miss Ziyan, you are mistaken, it is an ordinary young man who came, the third elder heard the emergency bell of the sect, he would go to the central square, that person was the one who stole the divine iron at this time, you hurry up and follow me, it is not safe here." ”

Meng Ziyan thought about it, if there is any problem, let's ask my father again, let's hurry up now. Then he stood up and walked out with Aoyama.

And after Li Zunbao gave the six gold ingots to Yueru and Chunlan, the two women told Meng Ziyan's birthday, what she likes to eat, and what kind of clothes she likes to wear. In the end, Li Zunbao let Yueru and Chunlan sleep in bed, told them to go out tomorrow, and then walked out of the room by himself.

At this time, there was no one upstairs, and Li Zunbao had just opened the door to go to Meng Ziyan's room, when he saw Meng Ziyan and the Lanshan sect disciples walking out through the crack in the door.

Qingshan, a disciple of the Lanshan Sect, said as he walked: "Miss Ziyan, this time the matter is quite special, it is better for you to come alone." "It turns out that Qingshan is afraid that Meng Ziyan will take someone out, and this person is so talkative that he is afraid that something will happen when the time comes.

Because Qingshan knows that his cultivation is not the most powerful in Qingshan Town, if he steals chickens and rice, then the game will be over, and the place where he took Meng Ziyan is another place where there is no one, and he plans to take Meng Ziyan back to the Third Elder Master after hehehehe.

Coincidentally, the book was not written, just so that Li Zunbao heard it, and Li Zunbao secretly followed behind Meng Ziyan and Qingshan, and walked out of Menghong Mansion.
