"Didn't the ghost brother we met today say, Senior Brother Chai, did you run errands for those girls in the Jade Pavilion, didn't you see it, Senior Brother Chai actually did such a thing!" Liao Shui teased Chai Shien as soon as he sat down. Chai Shien reluctantly explained, "Senior sister, you said so, but you wronged me! At that time, I had just arrived in Baozhou City, and I originally wanted to get a few taels of silver from Yongge, but I didn't expect that as soon as he saw me, he would treat me as a liar. I can't last even three days with all the broken silver on my body, and if I don't find a job, I'm going to starve and freeze on the streets. There's no way, after meeting the ghost brother, I went to the Jade Pavilion with him! But I promise, I only ran errands, nothing else, and I didn't do anything!"

"Who asked you that!" Liao Shui said, "Since you are so familiar with that ghost brother, why don't we start with him, how about it?" Chai Shien nodded, "I think so too, tomorrow morning, I will go to find the ghost brother." Jiang Yongge couldn't wait, "No, the night is long and there are many dreams, let's go now!"

After not returning to Baozhou City for a long time, when Jiang Yongge walked side by side with Chai Shien with a lantern again, he sighed with emotion, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I would never dare to walk on the street like this before." The girls would drain the water around the road and make it difficult for me to walk. Chai Shien said, "You don't have to be cheap and behaved, I don't know how many men are envious and jealous of the bleeding in their eyes." Jiang Yongge smiled bitterly, "People are like this, they don't know how to cherish what they get, and they can't reach what they don't get." That's it, where do you think the ghost brother will be at this time?"

"Where can it be, it is naturally the Emerald Pavilion. Chai Shien said, "Actually, Brother Ghost is also a hard-working person, he is an orphan, he has no parents and family, except for the Jade Pavilion, he has no place to go." If we go there, we'll find him!"

The city of Baozhou in the middle of the night became lifeless. The streets that used to be bustling at night also fell into a deathly silence, and there was not even a glimmer of light. Chai Shien looked at those shops that would not go wrong with his eyes closed, and sighed in his heart, a great drought had destroyed a good city to such an extent.

"It's the Jade Pavilion in front!" In Chai Shien's memory, the Jade Pavilion after dark was always brightly lit, singing and dancing, and the girls who were wearing heavy makeup and were extremely beautiful greeted the guests who came here for recreation, as if they would never be sad and painful.

The two of them stood in front of the closed gate of the Jade Pavilion, a gust of night wind blew, and the plaque with the three big characters "Jade Pavilion" shook twice, making a heavy "squeak" sound. Jiang Yongge saw that it was dark inside, so he went up and knocked on the door. Even after a few knocks, no one inside answered. Chai Shien said, "Brother Ghost must be behind, you come with me!"

He walked around to the back door, and sure enough, the door was hidden, and it opened with a slight push.

An oil lamp was placed on the stone table in the courtyard, and the ghost brother was lying on the wooden chair beside him, his stomach bulging slightly. Since Jiang Yongge subdued Man Gang, he went to fetch several buckets of water and came back, and drank to his heart's content. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the ghost brother opened his eyes tremblingly, and saw Chai Shien and Jiang Yongge standing beside him.

"Gongzi Jiang, Brother Chai, why are you here?" Brother Ghost hurriedly got up, hurriedly moved two stools, and made tea for them. Chai Shien said, "Brother Ghost, don't be busy, we're just here to see you." You're left alone, what about the girls?"

"Ahem, they're all gone!" said the ghost brother with a long sigh, "At first, the number of guests became fewer and fewer day by day, and then later, even the water was gone. The girls are delicate and expensive, and they are used to enjoying it, how can they suffer this sin. Some of them left early in the morning, and the rest of them also found their own way, and in the end, even the old bustard packed up and left. You know, I have nowhere else to go, so I have to stay here, and it's a nest anyway. ”

Chai Shien patted him on the shoulder with some sadness, "Brother Ghost, I heard that after I left, there was a strange woman in the Jade Pavilion, called Xiangyi, do you know?" Hearing Chai Shien mention Xiangyi, Brother Ghost suddenly trembled, and said in a panic, "You, how did you know her? What else do you know?"

Seeing that the ghost brother reacted so much, Chai Shien and Jiang Yongge knew that they had found the right person. Jiang Yongge asked, "For this Xiangyi girl, say whatever you know, don't hide it." ”

"I knew that someone would know sooner or later!" Brother Ghost seemed to have expected this day, and he didn't hide it, but poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told everything.

Speaking of this Xiangyi girl, there are really a few strange things. Brother Ghost said, "The first thing is that Miss Xiangyi is not like the legend outside, the old bustard spent a lot of money and invited it from other places, but she took the initiative to come to the door." ”

"Looking for the door?" Chai Shien had also heard before, some desperate women really had no choice but to sell themselves, could it be that this Xiangyi girl was the same? I remember very clearly, unlike when other girls came, Xiangyi wore gold and silver, and even the Shu embroidered clothes on her body were worth a lot of money. You don't know that the girls who sell themselves are almost all ragged and have vegetables. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't survive, who would do it?"

"Aren't you and the old bustard suspicious?" Jiang Yongge felt that Brother Ghost was used to seeing those desperate girls, so it was natural for him to be suspicious of Xiangyi. The ghost brother shook his head, "Now that I think about it, I was confused by her words at that time." ”

In the wind and rain, Xiangyi said pitifully, "Mom, I was originally an Oiran in the Qinglou elsewhere. A few months ago, I met a handsome boy, and we fell in love at first sight, so we ran away. Unexpectedly, he escaped those wolf-like thugs, but never escaped the negative man! It turned out that he was not really interested in me, but took a fancy to my beauty, so he pretended to be in love and deceived me out, but in fact he wanted to sell me to an old pervert. Luckily, I got him drunk, so I had a chance to escape. It's just that, except for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, blowing, playing and singing, I don't have the ability to let myself live. Please also ask my mother to show mercy and leave me behind. ”

The ghost brother smiled with a look of loss, "Listen, how complete this is said, Qinglou Oiran eloped with his lover and was betrayed, so he came to take refuge." It can not only explain why she is rich and noble, different from other girls, but also impress the bustard with her beauty and skills, how can people be reluctant not to leave her!"
