Chapter 50: Here it is
The beggars in Ningcheng are similar to those in the capital, but some local customs will be a little different, or there will be more rules.
Every year, Ningcheng will release Kong Ming lanterns at the sacrificial altar, intending to entrust his heart to the immortals of the Heavenly Palace to ask for answers.
After the incident, the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers echoed in the city, and the girls to be married would weave their wedding dresses or quilt patterns in their yards by moonlight and lights.
On this night, some girls are not very strict in their families, and they will take the three or five nursing homes and maids out to join in the fun, or the couples who have already married will walk around the street by moonlight, and finally enter the booked restaurant and the Wangxing Pavilion to enjoy the fireworks in the sky.
And on this day, Yanchun Lou is the most lively in the city, Yanchun Lou will set the annual Oiran competition on one day, and it is also a good building for the girls in the building.
There are some dignitaries in the city or elegant scholars who are all more infatuated and pure-minded, and they are determined to redeem themselves for the girls in the building, and the Oiran Contest is such an opportunity.
Yu Feng can also pass the test of the Oiran Contest to test the sincerity of these people, after all, there are few good girls who come out of this kind of Fengyue Mansion in the end, and some girls have already been fixed, and they have already secretly entrusted them to lifelong people, so the Oiran Contest is working harder and harder, wanting to earn a bright future for themselves.
The girls in Fengyue Building were not so sad originally, although they were not all girls who were lonely overnight, but most of them were innocent families, and in the end they had to come here.
In the end, I can't tell whether it's true or false, I only know that don't believe what the man in the bed says, but after a long time, youth and beauty don't exist, and I'm worried about my future life, someone wants to save her out of this deep cement pool, and naturally she is also eager for it.
Liu Niang used to only laugh at them for being ridiculous, and she swore so much in the past, but when she saw that the man still fell in love with them. But she didn't want her to have such a day, the first time she saw Yan Zheng, she wanted to go with that man, not to be a wife and concubine, even if she was just a slave, it was better than her life and death now.
It was not easy for her to make up her mind, but she found that the man did not have such a mind, because he already had someone better than her by his side.
As bright as the moon, proud and delicate, her family is better than her, but she still wants to compare herself with the noble county lord, it is a person who feels ridiculous when she hears her words, but she is unwilling to succumb to fate.
She looked down at the waist bag in her hand, spilled her into the teacup on the table next to her, and did not forget to stir the tea evenly after sprinkling, and then hurriedly retreated.
"Stop!"
As soon as she went out, she walked into the backyard in a panic, and before she could go back to her room to change clothes, she bumped into the oncoming kite, she had already changed her clothes, and changed back to her usual cool and thin tulle skirt, with a light blue gown with lotus flowers on her upper body, and a tulle coat on top.
Condescending, as arrogant and rude as a black swan, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and his red lips were slightly raised.
Liu Niang subconsciously stuffed the things in her hand into her sleeves, and looked up at her calmly, but her eyes were inexplicably flustered, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Kite ignored her, glanced at her hand hiding behind her, and as soon as she saw that the two maids with pill heads behind her were about to step forward, Liu Niang was stunned, and hurriedly retreated, her eyes were full of fear, "What are you going to do, Feng Yuan'er?" Don't come here, help, woo! ”
She was just about to call someone, but the two maids suddenly stepped forward and covered her mouth, one controlled Liu Niang, and the other forcibly grabbed Liu Niang's hand holding the paper, forcibly broke her hand, and handed the paper ball in her hand to the kite on the side.
Feng Yuan'er raised her eyebrows slightly, picked up the remaining medicinal powder on the paper ball, and her face changed as soon as she got closer, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and then a trace of contempt flashed: "Your Liu Niang has always been noble, and you are most annoyed to use this kind of indiscriminate means, why is it not pretending to be now, and even using this flattering medicine?" This is a good look at which big man to cling to? ”
Her tone was sarcastic, her expression was contemptuous, she was originally not dealing with Liu Niang, especially after she came, several of her big customers were attracted to Liu Niang, she also put on that lofty and arrogant posture, and those men were still extremely fascinated, and they were fascinated by her.
Every year, she has to succumb to Liu Niang in the Oiran Competition, but in a year, Liu Niang snatched her top position, and she naturally hated it.
Since yesterday, Liu Niang began to be sneaky, she naturally could see it, just went back to the backyard to change clothes, and heard the people around her say that Liu Niang had just come to the backyard, obviously ended before her, and now she came back, even if she felt that it was wrong, she bumped into Liu Niang when she led people out.
Liu Niang was so angry that she broke free from the two maids who imprisoned her, snatched the paper wrapped in medicinal powder from the kite with red eyes, and scolded angrily: "What do you have to do with it? You might as well think more about how to maintain your status as the eleventh aunt when you enter the gold master's house! ”
After she finished speaking, she was about to bypass the kite and leave, her words obviously poked Feng Iris, she didn't take a few steps before she was dragged back by the hair, Feng Kira had a strong hand, pulling her hair, and her eyes were fierce.
"What does it have to do with me? Okay, then I'm going to see how the nobles outside know that you are calculating, and how they will treat you slut! ”
As she spoke, she pushed Liu Niang down in front of the maid, and the two maids let Liu Niang go once, but now they don't dare to let go of their hands, so they just hold Liu Niang and make her unable to move. Feng Yuan'er led them straight to the front, Liu Niang broke free as she walked, and several people made noise all the way.
Private room on the second floor.
The people in Huajingzhai have already changed their faces and blended into the guests who came to Yanchun Tower tonight, and the people led by Scar happened to be sitting in the private room opposite Yan Zheng, and after Ruan Mingjiao came on the stage, Chen Meng next to him pulled him and whispered to him that the person on the platform was the county lord of Pingyang.
Scar's eyes lit up, and when he looked at the stands, he saw a smart figure swaying at will on the stage, the fluttering hem of his clothes was as light as a butterfly, the weak willows supported the wind, and a beautiful face was even more charming and lovely against the backdrop of the lights.
He had seen a lot of beauties, but those were either soft as boneless, or a little hard, but compared with the soft and rigid posture of the person in front of him, it was really less charming, he immediately became interested, and glanced at the people behind him, and those people were ordered to retreat.
Ruan Mingjiao's dance is her favorite classical dance in modern times, she likes fitness on weekdays, dancing or something to relax, so the body coordination is very good, people are thin and because of mental fitness, the lines are also extremely beautiful and smooth.
She took the wind to the stage, the lights of the stage turned on instantly, Yan Zheng, who was not interested in these dance songs tonight, finally turned her eyes to the stage, no longer as cold as before, her free eyes were shining with stars, and she paid full attention to the fluttering figure on the stage.
If they guessed correctly, the target of the group of people in Huajingzhai was Ruan Mingjiao, then the previous calm was a sign before the storm.
They are really cheering up at this moment, setting their sights on the stage, and the guards hidden in the shadows are ready to make a move.
The two people on the stage were already ready to go, although they were dancing, Ruan Mingjiao's eyes swept around at any time, as long as she found something suspicious, she could hand over the news as soon as possible.
She had just exchanged positions with Congfeng, and the next moment, a whistling came crashing on the surrounding candlesticks and lanterns, and the hall was instantly darkened, and she couldn't breathe lightly. Before he could leave, the other half of the candle flame was extinguished, and the hall was instantly dark.
Yan Zheng was staring at the hall, he reacted to this situation immediately, but before he could react, the lights of the elegant seat on the second floor were also extinguished, and the entire Yan Chun Building fell into darkness in an instant.
Yan Chunlou was dark, and the screams around him were continuous, and the ears that disturbed him were full of human voices.
"What's going on!" He got up sharply, and his tone was urgent, and the whole person fell into a burst of anger.
No one answered, he took out the fire gun from his arms and blew it up, and flew down the second floor with the faint light, and came to the lobby on the first floor: "Ruan Mingjiao!" ”
Ruan Mingjiao fumbled and searched for her memories and stepped back, and when she heard Yan Zheng calling her, she was just about to step forward to agree, when a strong wind blew behind her and blew past her ears.
She dodged sideways, grabbed the man's arm, and said sharply, "Who? ”
The man didn't speak, Ruan Mingjiao was just about to call Yan Zheng, as soon as the person's hand was loosened, the medicine powder spread out in his hand, Ruan Mingjiao realized that something was wrong, it was too late to cover her mouth and nose, so she fell down and called softly: "Yan Zheng!" And he fainted.
In the dark night, he couldn't see the situation clearly, Yan Zheng's ear power became better and better, even if it was just a faint voice, he heard it, and his black eyes were stunned and he wanted to find the source of the sound: "Ruan Mingjiao!" ”
Before he could act, the fire gun in his hand was blown out by a gust of sword wind, and two black-clothed men appeared out of nowhere, one left and one right, blocking his way.
Yan Zheng couldn't take a few steps back, and a high kick kicked away the sword on his right hand, and the man's wrist was in pain for a moment and he took a few steps back.
Seeing that his companion was injured, the person next to him also launched a fierce attack, waving a knife and coming at Yan Zheng, Yan Zheng turned around and kicked him directly in the chest, kicking the person several steps away. The person whose sword was kicked away saw that the situation was not good, and was about to leave, but was grabbed by the back collar and fell directly to the ground.
Yan Zheng squatted down like a bloodthirsty demon and pressed his sword against the man's neck, just as the candle flame in Yan Chun Tower was rekindled at this time, and the building instantly lit up.
The guards in the house caught the assassins who had accidentally hit and failed to escape in time, and some of them were still resisting and were directly knocked out by the guards.
As soon as the lights were turned on, the originally noisy crowd seemed to have found solace, and their panicked hearts were settled a lot, but when they saw the situation in the lobby on the first floor, they became noisy again, and some of them were even screaming.
The crowd suddenly gathered in a hurry, scrambling to escape.
"Don't move!" Yan Zheng snorted vigorously, looked around, and his expression was fierce and no one could resist, "I am the Imperial Shi Yan Zheng of the Left Capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, this time I came to Ningcheng to suppress bandits by His Majesty's order, and those who dare to cause a riot will not be spared!" ”
"My lord, how is this good, the person has been robbed, do you need to send someone to chase after you?" Fang Ming and the others arrived late, squeezed down the second floor in the crowd, and glanced around, only a few bandits from the Huajing Village who were caught.
Yan Zheng ignored him, picked up the sword next to him and lowered it on the neck of the person he threw on the ground, his words were cold, and his eyes were quenched with cold light, "I'll only give you one chance, is there a secret passage in Huajing Village!" ”
As he spoke, he shoved his sword a few inches in.
The man immediately shouted: "I said, I said! ”
