Shimen Town, the back street Hualou Street, is different from the front street Jiangdi Street, there is no crowd shuttling back and forth, there is less noisy selling sound, and the breeze blows on the face, but what is sent is the strong smell of rouge, and there may be one or two laughs. According to the rumors of the good deeds, the big and small of this Hualou Street, there are as many as 36 bright and dark green buildings, which are counting in the same day, among which in the innermost side of the street, extremely secluded place, is the most famous green building in this town - Xunxiang Building.

I saw that the attic of the main entrance was draped in red and hung with color, a big plaque on the frieze, three gilded characters on the book "Xunxianglou", two bewitching women in front of the door, were swinging their hips to send their hips, flattering eyes frequently, soliciting guests, and the sound of the kite was heard from time to time upstairs.

On the other side of the street, Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu, frowning, were looking over from a distance, when a pair of men and women came out of the attic, a middle-aged man with a fat body and a drunken appearance, crooked, swaying, and being entangled by a pretty and gorgeous woman.

"Master Hu, when will you cash in on the Saint Venerable Jade Pearl Necklace you promised others? The woman snorted and snorted with false indignation.

The old man Hu swayed for a long time before he stopped, looked at the gorgeous woman beside him drunkenly, raised his finger to hook the woman's pointed chin, and said with a lewd smile: "When you finish playing with your 'Eighteen Aunts', the master will not only give you a necklace, but also give you a big reward of silver." ”

The woman gently patted the back of Master Hu's hand, her apricot eyes twitched, and she said, "Then Master Hu has to come often, otherwise I will play those eighteen with others." ”

After hearing this, the old man Hu reacted for a long time, obviously jealous, and pulled the woman into his arms, and said angrily: "You are the person of this master, what, how can you go to play with others Eighteen, I, I'll go to the old bustard and wrap you up." ”

When the woman heard this, she smiled, stood on tiptoe, leaned forward, and gently kissed Master Hu on the cheek, pretending to be shy: "It's still that Master Hu will hurt people." With that, the two of them staggered back and forth and went back to the attic.

After watching this scene, Chu Qing pursed her lips and said angrily: "I don't know what to do, let me burn this Xiangxiang Building." ”

Xiao Jiu beside him quietly glanced at Xunxianglou, then turned his head, looked at Chu Qing, and shook his head thoughtfully.

Chu Qing rolled her strange eyes and glanced at the Xunxianglou, frowned and said, "Xiao Jiu, how can I enter this kind of place, you can't speak, how can you find where that smile is?"

When Xiao Jiu heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then on Chu Qing's arm, he wrote the words "I have a way", and turned around and left after writing.

Although Chu Qing was puzzled, she turned around and looked at Xunxianglou again, and at this time, she saw several young men and brothers entering together, and a large group of bewitching women came out cheering from inside, throwing themselves into their arms, twisting and twisting, seeing that Chu Qing had goosebumps all over her body, she shook her arms, and then turned around and chased after Xiao Jiu.

The two of them came to Jiangdi Street in front of the street, found a silver number, Xiao Jiu and Chu Qing asked for silver tickets, walked to the counter, exchanged some silver taels, and took a hundred taels and two ingots of fifty taels of silver, put them in their sleeves, borrowed paper and pen from the shopkeeper, wrote a few words on the paper, and handed it to Chu Qing with a smile.

Chu Qing took the note, read it for a long time, suddenly understood, and said happily: "It's really yours, Xiao Jiu, then, you go to the brothel, I'll go out with the bag." ”

When Xiao Jiu heard this, he nodded at first, but immediately shook his head again, with a look of shame on his face, and he didn't dare to look at Chu Qing again.

Chu Qing laughed, stepped forward and patted Xiao Jiu, and said, "I'm joking with you, we have no choice but to do business, otherwise, I won't let you go to that kind of place." As he spoke, he recalled what he had just seen, and he didn't feel sneering.

When Xiao Jiu heard Chu Qing say this, he smiled, nodded vigorously, and walked out of the silver horn with Chu Qing.

The two walked a distance again, and when they came to the fork in the road, Xiao Jiu looked at Hualou Street, then at Chu Qing, stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky, and then to the ground.

Chu Qing thought for a while and said, "Oh, Xiao Jiu, are you saying, when and where will we meet?" ”

After receiving Xiao Jiu's affirmative answer, Chu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Before sunset, let's meet at the intersection of Cangqing Mountain in the north of the town, where there are few people and so as to avoid people's eyes. ”

When Xiao Jiu heard this, he thought about it, nodded his head and agreed, and the two separated and acted separately.

Single-table Xiaojiu, galloping all the way back to the front of Xunxianglou, tried a few times to get in, but finally gave up, so back and forth a few times, is wandering and hesitating.

A pretty woman came out of the attic, wearing a tunic green Luo skirt, wearing a thin layer of transparent white sand bandeau inside, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked Xiao Jiu up and down, and saw that it was a handsome young man dressed in white, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like a crown of jade, she couldn't help but show joy on her face, and her eyes flowed.

Xiao Jiu and the woman looked at each other so inadvertently, and their faces suddenly became hot, and they lowered their heads in shame.

Seeing this, the woman already had eyebrows in her heart, covered her mouth and smiled, raised her eyebrows, greeted her, and said softly: "Yo, this is the wind blowing such a handsome little brother, dare to ask the little brother how to call it, it seems that it is the first time." ”

His youth and immaturity were seen through at a glance, Xiao Jiu couldn't help jumping in his heart, a little panicked, and wanted to bow his head and be silent, but suddenly thought that he was here for something important, so he settled down, raised his head, and looked at the woman without hiding at all, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The woman saw that Xiao Jiu suddenly became so calm, and she couldn't figure it out for a while, for fear that she would lose her words, so she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Jiu's arm, and walked towards the attic while holding her, and introduced: "Childe, my name is Yuru, but I don't know Childe, but I have old acquaintances." ”

Xiao Jiu followed Yuru to the attic hall, heard the woman's question, stopped, hooked the woman's chin with his finger, pointed upstairs with his hand, and smiled without saying a word.

Na Yuru pretended to be shy and said in a low voice: "Childe, are you going upstairs to the VIP room?"

Xiao Jiu glanced upstairs, pretending to be mysterious, squinting his eyes and nodding slightly.

Seeing that Xiao Jiu had not spoken, Na Yuru couldn't help but wonder in her heart, but she was afraid of offending the distinguished guests, so she rolled her eyes and coughed lightly: "Son, I went to the VIP building, but I want the girl to take it." ”

Xiao Jiu smiled, took out an ingot of fifty taels of silver from his cuff, sent it to Yuru, and nodded to give it to her.

When Yuru saw Bai Huahua's silver ingot, she first opened her mouth wide and was startled, and then reached out and took it, and shouted on her mouth: "Upstairs promise, a guest of honor." After speaking, he supported Xiao Jiu and walked upstairs along the stairs with joy.

The two walked slowly upstairs along the spacious staircase, only to see a few maids and servants dressed as characters in the corridor, smiling and greeting each other.

Xiao Jiu was welcomed into the room by everyone, only to see that this room is two rooms inside and outside, the outer room is placed with mahogany tables and chairs, Luohan bed, and the inner room is separated by a full moon hollow screen hanging with jade bead curtains, faintly visible behind the screen A red sandalwood zither is placed, the left side of the zither is a book case, on which there is a pen, ink and paper inkstone, the right hand side of the guzheng is a bed hanging with a pink curtain, and the whole room is wafting with a faint fragrance of sandalwood.

After the Yuru girl helped Xiao Jiu to sit down outside, she smiled coquettishly and said, "Childe, I don't know which girl you want to serve." ”

Xiao Jiu looked at everyone, stretched out his palm, and spread out a note on the table.

Yuru frowned slightly, took a closer look, and saw the word "smile" written on it.

Yuru looked at it, rolled her eyes, and said with a clever smile: "Childe, you don't know ......

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Jiu take out another ingot of silver from his cuff and throw it on the table, with a kind of disdain on his face, and turned his gaze to other places

Yuru hurriedly accepted the rolling silver, and immediately changed her words: "Childe misunderstood, Yuru meant that the smiling girl did not see guests during the day. ”

When Xiao Jiu heard this, his eyes lit up, he glanced at Yuru, pretending that his face was as heavy as water, and he looked calm.

Yuru suddenly felt the intimidating aura of the young man in front of her, frowned, thought about it, and glanced at the maids and servants waiting outside the door, leaned over and whispered: "If the son is really interested, and he is willing to spend money, tonight, the cloud pavilion will fall behind the building, and the smiling girl will throw the color, it depends on the luck of the child." ”

When Xiao Jiu heard this, he was stunned at first, pondered slightly, took out another ingot of one hundred taels of silver from his sleeve, sent it to Yuru's hand, and looked at her eyes with deep meaning.

Yuru took the silver, turned her back to the maids and servants, took out a small red painted wooden card from her waist, and whispered: "This is the seat card of the Falling Cloud Pavilion, Gongzi put it away, you can use this card to enter tonight." ”

Xiao Jiu took the small wooden card, did not look at it carefully, but put it in his sleeve casually, looked out at the people standing straight, smiled at Yuru again, got up and left.

Yuru shouted all the way to send off the distinguished guests, and sent Xiao Jiu out of the attic door all the way, and when Xiao Jiu's figure disappeared into the street, Yuru checked the hundred taels of silver in her hand, but there was a strange light in her eyes.

Let's say that after Xiao Jiu walked leisurely for a short time, he noticed that there was nothing unusual behind him, so he hurried all the way from Shimen Town to Zhenbei Mountain Road.

At this time, the sunset is on the mountain, the sunset dyes half of the sky, every grass and tree in the mountains is reflected red, the mountain road that is already inaccessible to people is more and more extraordinarily quiet, suddenly there are one or two tired birds that enter the forest, the sound of flapping wings, is frightening.

After Xiao Jiu got out of Shimen Town, he slowed down, although he made an appointment with Chu Qing to meet at the intersection of the mountain in the north of the town, but which intersection did he refer to, at this time he really didn't have an accurate location in his heart, so he simply paid attention to it while walking, but after walking for a while, he didn't see Chu Qing's figure, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Chu Qing was greedy for fun and forgot the agreed time, so it would be a big delay.
