Chapter 9 Oiran of Jiangdu County
In the evening, two strangers came to Jiangdu County, Suzhou, a rough man with an iron sword and a beard on his face, and a young man in Mai who was hungry and listless with his stomach clutched.
The two of them are one in front of the other, and their steps are the same, which is quite special.
Ding Qiu looked up at the sky, and took the young man to buy a spotless white robe with a pair of cloth shoes.
As for the rags that were changed, they were directly kicked aside by the man with his feet at will.
Ding Qiu glanced at the young man again, and said, "People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles, don't say it, change into clean clothes, you kid really looks like a dog." ”
The boy couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart, this should be the first time he wore clothes that no one else had ever worn.
He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "How much did it cost?" ”
Ding Qiu swaggered forward, pouted, "What, do you want to..."
It's just that before the man finished speaking, the young man had already reached out and handed out the green bead sent by the black python, "Can I exchange this for ten taels of silver for you?"
Ding Qiu didn't even think about it, and said angrily, "Get out!"
Jiang Huai nodded, and his smile was even stronger, "Then you owe it first." ”
Ding Qiu didn't answer, and began to look around for a restaurant.
He muttered a few times in his heart, "What do you owe or not, no matter how you say it, I am also your uncle, this little money... Of course I have to pay it back!"
The more the man thought about it, the more proud he became, and his pace was like a dragon and a tiger.
The two sat down at a humble pub and ordered two bowls of noodles and a plate of fried peanuts.
When the boy found out that boiling water didn't cost money, he drank three bowls of water after eating noodles.
Witnessing this scene in the wine shop, there were whispers all the time.
"How can this person take care of children, he is not even allowed to eat a full meal, what do you say people need so much money to live. ”
The more Ding Qiu listened, the more irritated he became, and then he glared at him, and he immediately smelled the needle in the wine shop.
This big man, with a sword behind him, looks so fierce and vicious, no one wants to touch this moldy head.
Just when the two of them wanted to leave, there was a voice as thin as a mosquito and a fly that made Ding Qiu's whole body tense.
He subconsciously glanced over there.
"Brother Wang, you must take time out tonight, Miss Baihualou has to sing a song. ”
"Don't worry about this, the yellow-faced woman at home is more and more annoyed, and I want to go out to enjoy Miss Liu's beauty, if I can touch my little hands..."
The two people sitting in the corner both smiled indescribably.
But at this time, there were people in the wine shop who were even happier than them.
Ding Qiu, who was standing at the door, smiled a flower on his face, and rubbed his palms a little shyly, "Baihualou, Oiran, how embarrassing is this..."
The young man tugged at the corner of the man's clothes, "Ding Qiu, don't stand at the intersection, make way for others." ”
The man retracted his thoughts, glanced to the side, and quickly stood on tiptoe like a mouse Seeing a cat quickly dodging to the side, the person who came was a woman with heavy makeup and a waist like a bucket.
The latter pinched out an orchid with both hands and kept throwing winks at the tall man.
Ding Qiu suddenly covered his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Providence, providence." ”
Jiang Huai was a little confused, and after watching the woman pass, he asked in a low voice, "Ding Qiu, what's the matter, do you like her?" ”
The man directly gave the young man a chestnut, walked out without twisting his head, and said with joy on his face as he walked: "It's not that I really want to go, it's God who asked me to wash my eyes." ”
The young man who was hit by a chestnut covered his head and was very puzzled, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, just muttered in a low voice: "If you like people, just say it, anyway, I feel that you two are quite suitable, how to say that sentence, men and women are a match made in heaven." ”
The corner of the tall man's mouth twitched as he walked out of the door, turned his head and turned back.
If I hadn't been the uncle of this little rabbit cub, I would have to give him a skin when the king of heaven came today.
Ding Qiu, who left the wine shop, kept asking around, and finally found the location of Baihualou.
A beautiful and bright little flower building with two floors, especially the two big red lanterns at the door are particularly dazzling.
The man walked in front, the boy followed, and the two walked in one after the other.
After entering, Ding Qiu found that this place was not a place for fireworks, but a place for drinking tea.
Red sandalwood tables and chairs on the first floor, and a high platform in the east corner has elegant people playing small songs.
On the second floor, there are private rooms with closed windows and doors, and you can't see much from the outside.
Before the two of them could stand on their heels, one of them trotted from not far away, bent down slightly, and beckoned: "Do you want to drink tea or water from this master and this little man?"
The tall man shrugged his shoulders and squinted his eyes, "What's in there?"
I saw the man pointing to the lobby and the corner, and said with a smile: "If you drink tea, you will sit in the hall, the tea is the best Longjing hair, a pot of ten taels of silver, if you drink water, only one or two silver, but the seat, please suffer a crime, sit on the bench in the corner first, there are too many people today, forgive me, forgive me." ”
Ding Qiu couldn't help but scolded angrily in a low voice, "So expensive?"
But after looking up, he smiled arrogantly: "Lao Tzu will have that little money? It's just that the big fish and meat just now are much bigger, and I don't have much appetite, so let's have a pot of water to moisten my throat first." ”
The man showed a meaningful smile, and didn't say much, after all, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are many guests who have such a good face and are not alive in their pockets, so they left with a casual polite word.
After the two walked to the corner bench and sat down, Jiang Huaicai took a serious look around, the people in the lobby were moving, all of them were dressed in fine brocade and satin, and as for the few people sitting in the same place as them, they were all ordinary cotton robes.
Jiang Huai sat on the bench and shook his legs, turned his head and smiled: "Ding Qiu, you are well-fed, spend a tael of silver to come here to exchange water and drink, I can see clearly, those people are rich people, just like Shi Shi's father told me, the silver in his pocket is replaced by copper plates more than I have eaten." ”
Ding Qiu's eyes kept scanning the lobby, but he didn't see what he wanted to see, and raised his eyebrows a little impatiently, "You kid knows a fart, the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, and Lao Tzu doesn't drink water for water." ”
The boy did not reply, but his eyes were fixed on the high platform to the east.
A tall woman wearing a red liuyun skirt and a pair of red tulle on her face was slowly walking up to the high platform.
The woman's cuffs show that her forearms are as white as snow, her eyes are like autumn water, and her temperament is elegant and refined.
Not to mention the entire lobby, even Jiang Huai, who is so young, was stunned, he liked it from the bottom of his heart, but it was not the kind of liking between men and women, just from the perspective of appreciation, he felt that this person was too beautiful, if he removed the veil...
When the young man was still immersed in it, he was directly woken up by a chestnut, Ding Qiu glanced at the young man, and his words were full of contempt, "Look at your shameless appearance, don't look at a person so obsessedly, this is called rudeness." ”
After saying this, the man with the sword on his back had his own eyes like big lanterns, his eyes were round, and the corners of his mouth kept drooling.
The woman bent her knees on the high platform and gave a blessing, stepped on the willow steps and sat down in front of a guzheng, plucking her hands, which was exciting.
In the private room on the second floor, a rich boy wearing a dark green robe, white jade hanging from his waist, and triangular eyes walked out.
Behind the man, a middle-aged man with snow-white temples followed closely, and just as he wanted to speak, the man directly stretched out a finger to him and gently "shhh
There was no sound in the entire Baihualou except for the pleasant sound of the piano.
Everyone was in the piano, as if they had returned to that amorous era in an instant, and they vaguely saw a poignant picture,
There are immortals in the sky, reaching out to hold the moon, and there are beautiful women on the ground, and they don't feel tears.
At the end of the song, there were sobs from the silent Baihualou.
Who let down such a moving girl, who made her so sad.
The green-robed man on the second floor applauded inappropriately and shouted, "Miss Liu, a thousand taels of silver, how about removing the veil." ”
Everyone glared away, only to lower their heads slowly.
Suzhou Thorn History Mansion is in Jiangdu County, and this person is the only son of the Thorn Historian, surnamed Lu, with a single name.
People in the world often say that words are like people, and the names are similar, but the behavior of the young master named Lu Zheng is not very right, although it has not reached the level of domineering, but it is true that some people frown.
And Lu Zheng's father, Lu Yuchun, the assassin of Suzhou, is not unaware of this matter, not to mention the single pulse of incense, his unsuccessful son is really thoughtful, and it seems to be unreasonable, but in fact, he just punches in an inconsequential place, such as making trouble in this Baihualou, in the end, it is really not a big deal.
The shopkeeper of Baihualou was an old but still elegant half-old, she quickly ran to the second floor, put her arm around the man's arm and whispered: "Master Lu, Liu Yu, you don't know, there is a birthmark under the veil, and she is very shy." ”
The man turned his head to look at the woman, revealing a smiling expression, "I don't know!"
The woman laughed dumbly, in a state of helplessness.
Lu Zheng continued to look at the high platform, and said aloud again: "Two thousand taels, not enough to add more, just to see Miss Liu's face." ”
And the woman in the red dress named Liu Yu just shook her head when she heard this, and gave another blessing.
Lu Zheng smiled, a little impatient, and turned back to the middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle Chen, as a state driver, if someone blows your face in public, what will you do?" ”
The middle-aged man with his sleeves and temples and white snow took a step forward, and said with a nonchalant smile: "If that person's ability is higher than mine, and the official hat is bigger than mine, he will naturally endure it, but if it is an insignificant person, of course, there are a hundred ways to solve it." ”
The woman's face was pale, she knew very well what the methods of this man named Chen Changfeng were, whenever Lu Yuchun went out, there was this person in the whole of Suzhou, not to mention things like today, even if there were some cases related to human life on weekdays, Chen Changfeng first arrested people, beat them and asked, and then beat them, until they gave in, and acted vigorously, which can be described as extremely domineering.
Jiang Huai felt the embarrassing atmosphere here, pulled the sleeves of the man next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Ding Qiu, are the officials outside so unreasonable, how do I feel that I am not as good as the county order of our Qianping County." ”
The tall man with the sword on his back pursed his lips and said, "Very few." ”
What is called is not as good, it is far inferior.
In fact, the man still has a few words to say, for example, although Yu Zhong's kid seems to have nothing to do every day, he treats people and things in a coarse and fine manner, and there is no trace of officialdom on his body, just like an ordinary person, do you think this is very simple?
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and said: "Don't worry, you kid, don't be afraid that I will meet and don't care, since I have met, I will definitely help him, but it doesn't hurt to see what the hundred methods of this adjutant are, and it will also give you a long insight." ”
The young man, who had some frowning eyebrows, flattened his brows, just looked at it and said no more.
If he had enough ability, he would definitely punish this unreasonable person.
Because Mr. said, do good deeds, don't be afraid of whether your body is inclined or not.
But it's a pity that it's a pity that the young man couldn't help but look at the wisps of golden breath above his head and was a little worried.
