Chapter 20: A Dance
At night, the lights of Lostant are bright, and the chattering guests in the taverns, the noisy vendors in the streets, and the villains plotting in the dark corners are intertwined to form the bustling night of the capital.
Whenever the enrollment of Lottote College is the most lively time in the capital, applicants from all over the country flock to it, and a large number of tourists come to see the style of the assessment, see what kind of cultivation wizards have been produced this year, and talk about it after tea and dinner.
Yunfeng wandered aimlessly through the streets, like a homeless traveler.
In fact, Yunfeng really has nowhere to go.
"It costs at least three silver coins for one night, why don't they grab it. Yun Feng touched his shriveled pockets and cursed those black-hearted merchants in his mouth. Three silver coins, three times the usual price of a stay, but rooms are still in short supply.
Most applicants will arrive early to adjust to the best condition for the assessment. As for those dignitaries and children of the sect, they naturally don't worry about where to go, and they don't care about a few silver coins.
Yunfeng is penniless now, and he has nothing of value to pawn, so it seems that he can only sleep on the streets tonight. For this, Yun Feng didn't care, the key was that his stomach began to "growl" in protest, thinking of what happened during the day, a thousand grass and mud horses rushed through Yun Feng's heart.
While strolling, Yunfeng unconsciously came to a manor, perhaps subconsciously following the fragrance of rice.
The manor is built on the side of the mountain, secluded and elegant, although separated by a wall, it is difficult to hide the beautiful scenery. The exquisite and brilliant pavilion on the mountainside is a pearl of Lostant, which can not help but amaze people again and again.
Most of the VIPs who came to the manor carried the sedan chair, silk brocade, and after getting off the sedan chair, they also need to show an appointment letter to enter, depending on their magnificence, it must be a place for the upper class to spend their time.
The tempting aroma wafted out from the village, tightly hooking the gluttonous worms in Yunfeng's belly, making him unable to take a step. In order to keep himself from starving to death before the assessment, Yunfeng decided to "borrow" something to fill his stomach first. Unfortunately, after he turned around, he found that the manor was much more tightly defended than he had imagined.
Looking at those brightly dressed Kuo Shao, Yun Feng suddenly had an idea. Since it is not a gentleman's way to enter through the wall, the key to entering openly is how to get an appointment card.
Stealing is definitely not good, the guests who come are probably all people with heads and faces, in this circle may already be familiar faces, if you find that your card is missing, it is not good to make a noise and compare and confirm the guests in the village one by one, and then your uninvited guy will definitely be exposed.
"There you go. Yun Feng had a flash of inspiration and thought of a brilliant solution.
Two more carriages approached slowly, and the attendant servants respectfully stepped forward and lifted the curtains.
"Yo, Brother Haoran, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm still chic. A slightly wealthy man stepped out of the carriage and made a gesture with a folding fan.
"I'm not as good as my brother. The person who came smiled and said, "I heard that the virtuous brother has just married the daughter of the Prime Minister's house, how can he have time to come here to have a good time." I have heard that the daughter of the Prime Minister is as fierce as a tiger, and I am afraid that the virtuous brother will not be able to make a good deal. ”
The rich man opened the folding fan, and he could vaguely see a graceful dancing girl painted on the fan, and he waved the folding fan and said: "If you can watch the forgetful dance, what is the daughter of the prime minister's house." ”
"Haha. The man named Haoran laughed heartily and admired: "What is the daughter of a good prime minister, admire." ”
The two talked and laughed and walked to the door of the manor, and took out the card with ease, and the doorman only glanced at it after taking it, and then handed it back respectfully.
"Brother Haoran, please. While the rich man put away the card, he still did not forget the gentleman's gift. But just as he was about to cross the threshold with his leg lifted, he was hit on the back.
"I'm sorry. Yun Feng's apology was sincere, and he had quietly followed him as they had spoken earlier.
"It's fine. The man who was hit was obviously displeased, but in order to maintain his demeanor and not get angry, he waved his sleeves and walked into the manor with his friend.
Seeing the two leave, a smile appeared on the corner of Yun Feng's mouth.
Please show your reservation card. The doorman stopped Yunfeng, vigilance and suspicion replacing the previous respect.
Yun Feng took his right hand, and a white card was sandwiched between his fingers. At the moment of collision, his right hand had already walked back and forth on the other party's cuff. If this picture were seen by the girl who stole his money bag today, she would be speechless with surprise, because Yun Feng's movements were simply a copy of her, and it perfectly interpreted what it means to be self-taught.
After careful inspection, Weimen retracted his previous vigilance and said respectfully, "Childe, please." ”
After walking a distance in disguise, Yunfeng began to eagerly look for a place in the kitchen.
......
......
Lan'er is a maid in Forgotten Whisper Villa, who grew up in an embarrassing family, and her family sold him to a merchant to make a living. She thought that she would become a dusty woman, and pleasing men was her life.
Fortunately, God still took pity on her and gave her a good place to go, and after changing hands several times, she was finally bought into Forgotten Word Villa. The young lady and her sisters are very kind to her, and life here is just as it should be, not as hungry as before.
Miss took the stage tonight, many people with heads and faces came to visit, and I heard that there is a big person, he must be a good entertainer, and he can't make any mistakes and embarrass Miss.
Now let's go to the kitchen and check if the food is ready.
"Huh? When Lan'er counted the dishes, she found that two plates were missing, which was not something before. Forget the Whisper Villa selects people strictly, and does things in a proper manner, with clear rewards and punishments, as far as she knows, there has never been a case of someone stealing dishes.
Yun Feng controlled his breathing and curled up under the table, and in front of him were two plates that were as smooth as washing.
Originally, he was eating heartily, when he suddenly heard someone approaching, and he wanted to escape through the window, but he never thought that the kitchen window was too small for ventilation, and people could not pass through it at all. In a hurry, he had to hide under the vegetable table.
Yunfeng pricked up his ears, and his every move outside tightly tugged at his heartstrings. Thankfully, the tension didn't last long, and he gradually relaxed as the sound of footsteps faded out.
"Hiccup...... Maybe Yunfeng was too unlucky today, just when the people were about to close the door, his stomach was full of burps.
Although Lan'er had doubts, she didn't plan to take this matter to heart, and the dishes were backed up, so she had to investigate it deeply. But when she was about to leave, there was a sudden strange sound behind her, although she was a little timid, but she couldn't rest assured that she was responsible, so she picked up the lamp and decided to follow the sound to find out.
As his footsteps got closer, Yun Feng was no longer nervous, he had already figured out, and when the arrivals approached, he would knock him unconscious.
Intuition told Yun Feng that the other party was approaching the vegetable table, and this was the best time to attack. Just as he sprang out from under the table, a beautifully embroidered shoe came into view and changed his decision.
Lan'er was so frightened by the sudden change that she subconsciously screamed, but she was gagged by the other party for the first time, and even the lamp and candle that fell in her hand were held up by the other party in time.
At this moment, Lan'er felt that her mind had been broken, she didn't struggle, she didn't think, and she didn't feel anything in her ear at all. After a while, she finally came back to her senses, and the first thing she felt after regaining consciousness was the greasy hand on the other party's mouth, and the strong smell of chicken legs on her hand.
"I let go of my hand, but you promise not to scream. For the girl, Yunfeng still couldn't bear to start. The moment he saw the embroidered shoes, he hesitated in his heart, and after jumping out, he found that this was a girl younger than her, which made him unbearable.
Lan'er was shocked, perhaps in order to get rid of the greasy hand on her mouth as soon as possible, she nodded unconsciously.
"I'm sorry, I'm so hungry. Yun Feng let go of his hand and said calmly. In fact, he could have walked away, but he felt that he had to compensate others.
Lan'er turned around and found that this was a teenager of her age, who didn't look like a bad person, she suppressed her mind and tried to calm herself from the previous shock, her small and delicate chest was still rising and falling violently.
Lan'er still remembers the feeling of freezing and starvation when she was a child, and she can't help but feel deep sympathy for the young man in front of her, she just wonders: "How did you get in?"
After all, this is not a tavern, you can enter by climbing over the wall at will, and the people invited to come are all dignitaries, if you don't have an appointment card, I'm afraid you can only look at the door and sigh.
"I ...... I came in by accident. Yun Feng expected that the other party would not believe it, such a well-guarded manor, it would be too to be able to come in if you were not careful.
"I'll go. "It's useless to talk more, Yunfeng decided to go for the best policy.
"Wait. Just as Yunfeng was about to pat his ass and leave, the other party stopped him. He thought to himself that after eating other people's things, he would not let him go easily after all, but he didn't expect the girl to just pack a box of pastries and hand it to him: "This is for you." ”
"This ...... How embarrassing. Yun Feng felt that he had already eaten other people's food, and he had to pack it and take it away, but after thinking about it, tomorrow's breakfast had not yet been settled......
"Thank you. Just hesitated for a moment, Yun Feng took the pastry and thanked him, at this time, it was too hypocritical to hold on because of face problems.
Say goodbye to the girl, Yunfeng plans to leave here, but he doesn't know where to go, instead of living on the streets, it's better to be at peace when he comes.
Don't you have a reservation card, if you don't treat yourself as a VIP, how can others treat you as a VIP? Yun Feng thought so beautifully, and unconsciously came to the mid-level pavilion.
The pavilion is more gorgeous than what Yunfeng saw at the bottom of the mountain, standing downstairs, he clearly felt a finely carved atmosphere, and the golden and brilliant style of the Zishu Firm, here is more ancient and elegant.
The square pavilion is very large, divided into two floors, and a gorgeous lotus pond is placed in the middle, and the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, which is beautiful. In the center of the lotus pond is a circular stage made of stone, which can be described as ingenious and skillful.
On the second floor is a private room, with windows open and full of guests. The desk around the lotus pond on the first floor was also full, and Yunfeng had to sit on the ground under the corridor in the back corner. Unfortunately, sitting in front of him were the rich man and his friend who had stolen the reservation card, but judging by his expression, he should not have noticed that the card had been stolen.
Yunfeng smiled and cast a friendly look at them.
However, the rich man did not appreciate it, and complained to his friends with great disdain: "Brother Haoran, when did even such a lowly commoner come in the Forgetful Villa. ”
He didn't deliberately lower his voice when he spoke, Yun Feng naturally heard it clearly, and it seemed that his shabby appearance made the other party feel that his silk and silk had depreciated a lot. Yun Feng admitted without any shame: "I am lowly, you are noble, your whole family is noble, and the eighteen generations of your ancestors are noble. ”
"You ......" The rich man was so angry that the horizontal flesh on his face trembled, and he was just about to get up and teach this boy a lesson, but Brother Haoran next to him pulled him and said, "Don't fight with villains." ”
"Wow......"
His friend's words could not calm his anger, and just as he insisted on settling accounts with Yunfeng, a crisp sound of the piano made him calm down instantly and obediently sit back in his place. At the same time, the figures in the hall heard some kind of foreshadowing, and they all stopped talking, and for a moment, there was a sound of needles falling in the building.
Prismatic ......
The sound of the piano is fluttering, swirling in the air, like a small bridge flowing water, which makes people intoxicated.
A red tent fell from the sky with the sound of the piano, and in the affectionate eyes of everyone, the red tent faded, revealing a girl with a light water sleeve.
The girl's skin is like congealed fat, elegant and refined, the red long skirt outlines the moving lines, and the blurred eyes sweep over the seat, and the guests are stunned.
The chime rang, the piano sounded slowly, and the girl stood sideways, and when the red tent had all faded, she danced. She stepped lightly on the lotus step, held the water sleeve and danced lightly, gently brushed the whole body, and charmed all beings with gestures.
If you can watch the forgetful dance, what is the daughter of the prime minister's house.
