Chapter 42: Darkness Under the Lamp (4) Cross-dressing
"You're drunk. Xia Lin faded from surprise.
Xia Qian followed Xia Lin ashore and chased after him and said, "I'm not drunk, I'm serious." ”
Xia Lin turned around and drew his sword slightly, shining in front of his eyes, squinting his eyes and threatening, "I advise you to admit that you are drunk." ”
"Uh-uh. Xia Qian was speechless for a while. "Listen to me tell you carefully. ”
The next day, Xia Qian pulled Xia Lin into Qionglou, Xia Lin shut up and said nothing, his face full of reluctance.
Xia Qian sent Xia Lin into an inconspicuous room. The bustard had been waiting for a long time.
Xia Lin stayed in the mountains all the time, and it was the first time he came to this kind of place, and he was already nervous when he came in and saw those colorful people and things all the way. Now that he has met the old bustard, the head of the Qinglou, his brows are locked tighter. He subconsciously hid behind Xia Qian, not daring to look inside.
The old bustard caught a glimpse of his flickering eyes, and his gaze suddenly focused on his dodging face. She sat up with the armrest of her chair, her eyes kept coming towards him, and pulled him out from behind Xia Qian.
"Yo yo yo, this girl is so handsome. She forgot her accent and came out.
When Xia Lin heard this, he was angry, and his eyes were wide like fried cats.
Xia Qian hurriedly separated the two of them and said to the old bustard: "Look at your eyes, we are clearly a male baby." "He's been here for a few days, and he even speaks with an accent.
The old bustard patted his head, rubbed his eyes, and took a closer look: "I drank a few more cups just now, and my eyes were dizzy." Are you trying to make him a girl?"
Xia Qian nodded, "Yes." ”
"Okay. This is a good seedling, and it is easy to do well, but Russia has one condition. The old bustard's shrewd gaze did not leave Xia Lin, and he leaned into Xia Qian's ear and said a few words. Xia Qian also threw his gaze at Xia Lin, looked up and down, and gritted his teeth ruthlessly.
"Okay!"
What deal the two reached behind their backs, Xia Lin didn't know, and he didn't have the heart to figure it out. At this time, Xia Qian couldn't pass the test, he could only lean towards Xia Yu, but when he looked at it, he found that Xia Yu didn't follow them into the house at all.
"Don't look for it, Xia Yu must be looking for Xiuli. Don't struggle, just grab it. Xia Qian stretched out his hands and came to him step by step, like a god of death who took people's lives.
Xia Lin was pressed into a chair by him, and the old bustard wiped a bunch of bells and whistles rouge gouache on his face. Xia Lin choked on the aroma and coughed. He clenched his fists and looked generous.
He remembered that Xia Qian told him last night.
"Actually, we didn't travel west this time just to find Xia Yunling. Our target is also Qujiang Hejia. After the alliance defeated the Xia family, in addition to resuming the trade of the Huai River, each family more or less took something from the Xia family. Among them, the An family, the Yang family, and the Fan family took away the Xia family's business in the Western Regions and the coast, while the He family only took away a mountain to the west, although the mountain was vast but useless for a long time because of the terrain problem. Do you still remember what I said on the day I checked the accounts, the He family returned all the things they had taken? The He family has been able to achieve today's achievements, and many of them have benefited from the Xia family. They have always flaunted justice, and they also feel guilty about participating in the alliance. If we hit it off with them at this time, we will definitely benefit the Xia family a lot. ”
After listening to Xia Qian's thoughts, he felt a little admiration in his heart, but he was so happy that he naturally wouldn't let him see it. He only asked, "In that case, why should I ......?"
Xia Qian said: "He Shen's status is noble, and he is a high-level member of the He family, so he naturally knows many secrets of the He family, and it would be best if he could get words out of his mouth." We don't have a woman in our team, so we can only let you make this beauty trick. ”
He said, "Can't you find a real woman?" ”
Xia Qian replied: "Can someone else do this kind of confidential thing? and I need ......"
"Alright!" the old bustard clapped his hands, interrupting his thoughts.
The old bustard pinched his chin and looked at it carefully, and let out a long sigh of satisfaction, "It's really good." ”
I saw Xia Lin's eyebrows frowning slightly, and the tail of his phoenix eyes was light red, making his eyes red. Because he had applied fine white makeup powder beforehand, his face was even whiter and more delicate, and his cheeks were blush, which made his angular features immediately soften. Finally, I painted my lips and got rid of the beauty of the sad spring and autumn.
The old bustard led him to change his clothes, and as soon as he put on his clothes and combed his hair in a bun, as long as he didn't speak, he was undoubtedly a woman.
Xia Qian also approached to take a closer look, and smiled in surprise: "Oh, oh, oh, this is really unexpectedly beautiful." He Shen Silent must not be able to resist. ”
He covered his mouth and snickered, Xia Lin only thought he was laughing at him, grabbed the teacup and smashed it on him. Xia Qian caught it steadily and said with a smile: "I never thought you looked so good when you were angry." After saying that, he couldn't laugh again.
Xia Lin grabbed his facial features angrily, only to feel ashamed to death. It's a pity that he has women's makeup painted on his face at this time, and his anger is like the delicate of his daughter's family.
"Wait a minute. Xia Qian suddenly stared at his neck. He spun around and found a finger-wide strip that he wrapped around his neck, blocking his Adam's apple.
"Well, that's all right. He nodded.
The old bustard looked at Xia Lin with a smile, and flowers could grow in his eyes.
Xia Lin gritted his teeth and thought: It's too shameful!
Xia Qian and Xia Lin calculated and asked him to wait here. And he is responsible for inviting you into the urn.
As expected, He Shen was silent and appeared in the Qiong Building on time. Xia Qian stood on the second floor, watching Xia Yu and Xiuli sit opposite each other without saying a word for nearly half an hour. Just bored, He Shen's silence appeared in his field of vision. He immediately beckoned to call him by name. He Shen looked at the sound in confusion, and a hesitant smile appeared on his face.
Looks like something is going on.
Xia Qian jumped off the second floor and He Shen went to the old position. Usually surrounded by beautiful women, he didn't call them here today, just drinking alone.
Xia Qian asked tentatively, "Is something happening?" I see that you are not in a good mood. ”
He Shenjing put down the wine glass and smiled: "I am the second young master of the He family, with fine clothes and jade food, and I enjoy endless glory and wealth." How could I be in a bad mood. ”
If Xia Qian didn't know a little about what happened to him, ordinary people wouldn't have understood when they heard this, this was just self-deprecation rather than showing off.
Xia Qian nodded in agreement.
He Shen asked silently, "Do you have a brother?"
Xia Qian said: "Yes." ”
He said silently: "I mean my own brother. ”
Xia Qian shook his head: "No." ”
He Shen sighed long: "I really envy you only sons, there is no harm if there is no comparison." ”
Xia Qian's persuasion: "You don't have a good relationship with your brother?"
He Shenjing suddenly laughed, but his eyes were moist, and he sniffed: "They don't want me anymore, they killed me." ”
The cold wine that Xia Qian drank choked his throat violently, spicy and rushing.
"Isn't it funny. No one would know that the venerable Second Young Master of the He Family was actually a chess piece abandoned by his father and brother. The more he spoke, the more sad he became, and there was a slight cracking sound from the glass he clenched.
Xia Qian chatted with him and forgot the time. Xia Lin waited for a long time, but he couldn't wait for Xia Qian's signal. He couldn't sit still anymore and took the initiative to open the door and go out.
He was dressed in layers of gauze and silk, and a shawl hung from the crook of his arm. As soon as the door creaked open, there was a gust of wind, which dragged the fragrance on his body to drift away, and a small area in the Qiong Building was blown by this gust of wind, and the guests everywhere looked at him.
His gaze surrounded him with a burst of admiration. Xia Lin didn't want to escape, but he was shocked by this battle at this time, and there was nowhere to escape.
Xia Qian and He Shen also looked at the noisy place.
He remembered that he had delayed this matter, and Xia Lin must have come out in a hurry. However, his appearance was more natural than planned. He saw He Shen Shen looking at Xia Lin in a daze and drunkenness, his eyes were straight, and he smiled with satisfaction.
He hooked his finger at Xia Lin, who walked there with stiff steps. Zhengda bright and dodged through the entire Qiong Tower.
Everywhere you go, you can see it.
He Shen saw him come to his eyes, stood up, couldn't hold back a word for a long time, and finally made a gesture of please.
Xia Lin sat down.
Xia Qian smiled: "Then I'll leave first." ”
Xia Lin secretly grabbed the hem of his departing clothes and glared at him imperceptibly.
Xia Qian whispered: "It's up to you later." He pulled out the corner of his sweaty clothes, and ran up to the second floor in three steps and two steps. looked at Xia Yu behind him, pulled the girl to sit without speaking, and was still staring.
Xia Qian deliberately walked behind him and whispered: "If you like people, just talk, you see that you are as red as a monkey's ass." Why are you going to let her watch juggling? ”
Xia Yu's face turned even redder when she heard this, and she buried her head even lower.
Xia Qian shook his head helplessly and continued to pay attention to He Shen's movements.
He Shenjing was drunk at this time, and when he saw that this girl was familiar, he couldn't say why, so he only asked his name.
Xia Lin didn't think about it, but replied: "No name and no surname." ”
He Shen was a little surprised, and said: "If you don't pay the truth, why should you be famous." He only thought she was a Qinglou woman, but he didn't expect her heart to be clear.
The two were talking, He Shen was talking, and Xia Lin was listening. He Shen was drunk and talked a lot, and as soon as the conversation box opened, he took Xia Lin's hand and cried: "The woman I like is married to my brother, and on her big day, relatives and friends came to say goodbye and said to me, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother." I like her, she wants to be my mother?"
Xia Qian eavesdropped on it, giggling non-stop.
Xia Lin patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, but he was suddenly grabbed by his wrist. He had a lot of strength and dragged him against him.
Xia Lin opened his eyes wide and stared at Xia Qian upstairs. Xia Qian stretched out his fist to cheer him up: Hold back, you must hold back.
Although his brain told him that he had to hold back, Xia Lin's heart couldn't be controlled, and the formation under his feet had already begun to appear. It is the Five Elements Great Array that he is best at, capable of strangling enemies in an instant
Xia Qian smiled dryly, this is terrible. Fortunately, the old bustard came skillfully and pulled Xia Lin to let him go on stage. It turned out that this was the condition of the old bustard, and she wanted Xia Lin to come on stage and give her a walk.
Xia Lin was pushed onto the central table of Qionglou for some reason, and the lowly guests were excited when they saw the new faces. Accustomed to seeing the red dust rolling, this unearthly fairy aura really made them fresh.
Suddenly, a fat figure jumped onto the stage, grabbed Xia Lin's hand and rushed off the stage. It turned out that the guest was drunk and wanted to come strong. Xia Lin was just about to make a move, and He Shenjing also jumped up and jumped up, punching the drunkard man. He said stiffly: "You also want to fight with me?"
The guest was also drunk, covered his face and pointed at He Shen and scolded: "Okay, what's wrong with you." As soon as he beckoned, his little brother appeared from all corners of Qionglou and rushed over to fight He Shenjing.
After Xia Qian jumped down from the second floor and made a move for him, he watched He Shen's silent play throughout the whole process. Who is He silent, the second young master of the He family, who has been practicing since childhood, that is a serious practitioner, and he knocked those horses to the ground in three or two strokes, and his movements were crisp and neat, without a trace of superfluity. He took Xia Lin's hand and rushed down.
The fat man threatened: "You're done, Qujiang Li Huaide is my own uncle, you two dare to offend me, I will sue He's house." ”
The corners of Xia Qian's mouth rose slightly. Xia Lin saw him smile, and suddenly remembered the last words he said last night.
"And I need an open and quiet way to enter the He family. ”
