Next to Yingyue Lake, fireworks willow field.

As the same name as the Qinhuai River, the scenery in the lake is naturally beautiful. It is also snowing, rime and water, the sky and the clouds and the mountains and the water, up and down are white.

If you take a small boat at this time, embrace the clothes and stove fire, and look at the snow in the lake, it is not a bad thing.

But Xu Ming had no choice, he could only follow Zhu Shuying and honestly walk through one green building after another.

There are many well-known brothels on the shore of Yingyue Lake, among which there are three most famous ones of "Qifeng Tower, Qunfang Pavilion and Ningxiang Pavilion".

The talented Liu Yin once lingered on the shore of Yingyue Lake, and left many famous stories between drunken dreams and death. Liu Yin once praised these three ways:

In the drunken dream of the green building every day, I don't know that the spring outside the building is thick. The bright moon falls on the phoenix tree, and the fragrance of the group is soft around the fingers. Supporting the painting and jumping flowers. East of the small bridge outside Chang'an Gate. Xingxing and entering the sheng song, people are in the bead curtain.

However, Zhu Shuying took Xu Ming straight through these richly decorated pavilions.

They came to a remote corner, and Xu Ming couldn't even believe that there would be a green building here.

"Red Apricot Building. Xu Ming looked at the plaque on his head, "The spring garden can't be closed, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall." The name of this green building is a good one. ”

Compared with other luxuriously decorated pavilions, the Red Apricot Building is a little simple and even dilapidated. There is no conspicuous silk or gorgeous decoration, just a bare plaque, and the three words "Red Apricot Building" on it are all dusted.

"Is this here?" Xu Ming asked Zhu Shuying in disbelief.

Zhu Shuying nodded: "That's right, this is it." ”

"Is this really a green building?" Xu Ming hesitated, not wanting to go in.

Zhu Shuying pulled him in: "What, are you still afraid of the girl?"

"I'm afraid of Auntie!"

The two walked into the Red Apricot Building.

Zhu Shuying put on makeup when she went out and pretended to be a personable teenager.

They didn't cause much movement when they entered.

The shopkeeper, who was sleeping on the bench, was awakened by the sound of the door opening, and subconsciously turned over and fell to the ground. He covered his head and got up, saw Xu Ming and Zhu Shuying who had just entered the door, and hurriedly ran over and greeted with a smile: "The two of you sit down first and wait a while, I'll invite my mother to come." ”

Xiao Er said, turned around and went upstairs to call someone.

"Sister, what is the clue you are talking about? Is it dangerous? Is it that you want to betray my hue? Is this why you brought me here?"

Seeing that Xu Ming was getting more and more outrageous, Zhu Shuying directly raised his hand and grabbed his ear: "Why are you so imaginative?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it's wrong, it's wrong, sister. Xu Ming covered his ears and begged for mercy.

"It's not as complicated as you think. Zhu Shuying let go of Xu Ming's pitiful ears, which had been turned red, "According to my investigation, Lord Zhu has a good relationship in the imperial capital, and it is in this red apricot building. Maybe she will know the reason why Lord Zhu left the imperial capital, and even know the murderer of Lord Zhu!"

"Sister, if you think about it, it's been more than ten years. Xu Ming said, "For more than ten years, the woman who was good to Master Zhu back then was afraid that she had already been old and left Hongxing Building. She's not a monk, ten years, that's a long time for her. ”

Zhu Shuying's mood was also a little lost: "I also know, but there are no other clues now." ”

Looking at Zhu Shuying, who was a little depressed, Xu Ming hurriedly changed his tone and comforted: "It's okay, maybe, someone here knows where that woman is!"

"Hopefully!" Zhu Shuying nodded.

As he spoke, there was a sharp clog crashing with the wooden staircase.

Xu Ming and Zhu Shuying followed the sound, and a slightly chubby woman walked down from the upper floor.

The woman's face was rubbed with a faint fat powder, and the residual charm could be seen in her gestures. This couldn't help but make Xu Ming interested: The mothers here have such a charm, maybe the young ladies are not bad.

"Two sons, come here in the early morning in the snow, someone should want to see them. Which woman is it, and the concubine is the messenger. The woman came over and gave a salute, and then glared at Xiao Er, who was watching from the side: "What are you looking at, look at the tea!" The two sons came in the snow, and why don't they take two pots of hot tea to ward off the cold for the sons?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Xiao Er retreated in panic.

"No need, I just came to ask, the night girl ten years ago, do you know?" Zhu Shuying asked the woman.

The woman was visibly stunned for a moment, looking nervous and cramped, and then quickly calmed down. She shook her head and said, "Ten years ago, the concubine really doesn't know, and she doesn't know what you said about the night girl. ”

"You were nervous just now, you know the night girl!" Zhu Shuying looked at her, with a fierce glint in her eyes.

"The concubine just now is because she hasn't heard of this person, and she is trying to think about it, for fear that she won't be able to help her son, and she is not nervous. The woman explained calmly.

Zhu Shuying grabbed the woman's neck: "Impossible, you lied, you know the night girl, and you even know where she is!"

"The concubine doesn't know!" the woman's tone was still calm, even threatening, "If the son is deliberately trying to make trouble, although the Hongxing Building is small, there are people on it." When I report to the government, I have to give Hongxing Lou a fair. ”

"Forget it. Xu Ming really couldn't hold air, he walked up and let go of Zhu Shuying's hand holding the woman's neck, "People say they don't know, maybe they really don't know." ”

Xu Ming appeased Zhu Shuying for a while, and apologized to the woman: "Sister, no, my brother is short-tempered and collided with you, please forgive me." ”

"It's okay, it's just that the concubine really doesn't know what you said about the night girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much. The woman saluted Xu Mingyingying.

"It doesn't matter. Then we'll go. Xu Ming pulled Zhu Shuying and walked out.

"Walk slowly. The woman shouted, "Little Er, send off guests." ”

"This ......" Xiao Er carried the freshly boiled tea, supported me for a long time, sighed, and obediently sent Xu Ming and Zhu Shuying out of the door.

"You let go of me!" Zhu Shuying, who came out of the Red Apricot Building, broke free of Xu Ming's hand.

Xu Ming was very helpless: "Sister, don't make trouble, just now in other people's territory, can't you talk well?"

"She's a liar, she's sure to know the Night Maiden!" Zhu Shuying said hatefully.

"It's someone else's business whether they tell you or not. Xu Ming said, "It's also people's duty not to tell you." ”

"But this matter is very important to me!" Zhu Shuying emphasized, "This may be the best clue to find out the truth!"

"You can't rush it. Xu Ming said, "Maybe there is something hidden in this, people don't trust you, and it's reasonable not to tell you the truth!"

"Then what now?" Zhu Shuying gradually calmed down and looked at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming touched his stomach: "I suggest, eat breakfast first!"
