Chapter 34 ** Rhyme on the Qinhuai River (2)

Besides, the woman in Hongyi was extraordinary, running through the house and running like a cloud flying forward, Zhang Lingyu followed closely behind, not far away, not close to always keep a distance of three or five zhang. No matter how much the woman in red sped up, she couldn't get rid of this pursuer. The woman in red was running and did not know how far she had run, when suddenly the house came to an end, and in front of her was a forest, and she floated down and fell into the woods, and after running in the woods for a while, she flew up to a large tree with dense foliage and hid. Zhang Lingyu floated into the woods and flew in the air between the tree trunks, seeing the woman in red floating towards the big tree, Lingyu took the first step into the canopy of the big tree.

Lingyu watched the woman in red fly to the branch below her, and after a little breathing, she looked under the tree and listened. Zhang Lingyu looked at her and wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, and said lightly: "Girl, who are you looking for." Although he spoke softly, the woman in red sounded like a thunderbolt from the sky, and she was not steady, and her body shook and floated under the tree, fell to the ground and drifted to the side a few feet, standing still and on guard. Looking up at the tree, he said, 'Hero, please come down and speak. As soon as the words fell, a person stood silently two feet away from the woman in red. The woman in red thought to herself, "It's so fast, it's really worth it. Then he said, 'Childe, why are you so close to it?' Zhang Lingyu said: "What do you want to do when you come to my roof in the middle of the night, I will chase after me and ask." ’

The woman in red said, "I don't want to do anything, I'm just passing by." Zhang Lingyu said: "Our roof is not a big road, so we can let you walk around." The girl in red said, 'What do you want?' Zhang Lingyu said: "I want to see your true face of Lushan and see who you are." The woman in red thought to herself, 'There is no moonlight tonight, and it is even darker in this woods.' You can't even see the shape of your face. All you can see is a dark shadow. So he said: 'You mean I just have to take off the veil here.' You're going to let me go. Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "I think if you are beautiful, I will let you go, and if you are ugly, I will arrest you back." The woman in red smiled and said, "Childe is really different, everyone robs beautiful women at home, how can anyone rob ugly girls, and it's so dark this day, how do you know if I'm beautiful or ugly." Zhang Lingyu smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as I promise to let you go, then you must be a beauty." The woman in red said, "I won't repent." ’

Zhang Lingyu said: "Although I am not a gentleman. But as I said, eight horses couldn't catch up. The woman in red relieved herself and reached out and took off her veil. It turned out to be a beautiful girl, and her delicate face was still full of arrogance, Zhang Lingyu said: "It's indeed a beauty, but it's not like a child of the rivers and lakes, you can go." The girl in red thought that he couldn't see his face clearly, and just let him go under the pretext, and couldn't help but feel grateful. The girl in red put her veil on again and said, 'Childe, I'm leaving. Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "Seeing each other is fate, you should also leave a name." The girl in red said, "I am Chang'e in the moon." No one in Jinling City knows who I am. There will be a grand event on the Qinhuai River tomorrow night, and you will naturally know who I am by then. Zhang Lingyu said: "What kind of event, will you also go?" The girl in red said: "It is a grand event for the son and the beauty, you will know if you go." Zhang Lingyu said: "Girl, you haven't asked me who I am." The girl in red smiled and said, "I know who you are." After saying that, he stretched out his body and ran out of the forest, and soon disappeared into the night.

Zhang Lingyu saw that the girl in red was gone, and thought: "What do I say when I go back now, I will definitely not believe it if I say that I didn't catch up with Xia Mei, and I will definitely say that I chased and let go, and they will definitely say, then what are you trying to chase, or just tell the truth and let him go, go back first." Thinking of this, he leaned to the top of the tree to find the direction, and rushed to the courtyard of the Liu family.

Zhang Lingyu returned to the courtyard of the Liu family, came to the door quietly, and walked into the house with a light cough. Ma Junlan said: "Big brother, who is it, did you catch it?" Zhang Lingyu said: "It's a masked girl in red." Ma Junlan said: "Big brother, you didn't ask her what she was doing sneaking on our roof. Zhang Lingyu said: "She said she didn't do anything, she was just passing by." Tong Yunfei said with a smile: "This is the real martial arts master, who uses people's roofs as a road, and then on." Zhang Lingyu said: "Later, I let her go." Tong Yunfei said: "I didn't say anything else." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "I said, I said girl, what is your name, she said: If you want to know, there will be a grand event on the Qinhuai River tomorrow night, and you will know if you go." ’

When Tong Yunfei heard that there was a grand event, he said happily: "She is talking about the Qinhuai grand event, I know this." Ma Junlan said: "What kind of event is it, is it lively?" Tong Yunfei said: "You really want to hear it." Ma Junlan said: "Second brother, what else are you selling, let's talk about it." Tong Yunfei said: "That's right, thirteen high-end brothels in Jinling and more than a dozen rich sons are known as merry and talented people. The sons of the brothels will select one of the most talented and beautiful people to be the oiran, and the sons will raise 1,000 silver as a bonus prize for the oiran, and each of the thirteen brothels will select a famous prostitute to participate in the competition. Ma Junlan said: "That Oiran can get a thousand taels of bonuses, what is the benefit of a young man." Tong Yunfei smiled mysteriously and said, "The benefit is great, he can patronize any of these thirteen famous prostitutes at any time within a month, and all of them are free." Ma Junlan snorted and said, "What kind of benefit is this?" ’

Hong Feng said: "Could it be that the girl is a prostitute?" Hong Xia said: "That girl is so skilled, it is impossible to become a prostitute for her livelihood, even if she is really a prostitute and a geisha, she must have an ulterior secret to disguise her identity as a prostitute." Zhang Lingyu said: "Xia Mei's analysis is very correct, then whether we will go to this event tomorrow." Hong Xia secretly thought: "He has made an appointment with others, I want to say that I don't want to go, but it seems that I am too stingy and jealous, who doesn't want to go to the excitement, if you really don't let him go, it will definitely be unpleasant, he originally wanted to be a free and indulgent person, he wants to see that I want to restrain him, but it will not be easy to get along in the future, what does he do, as long as he treats me well." Seeing that Hong Xia didn't reply, Ma Junlan urged: "Sister Hong, do we want to go tomorrow." Hong Xia smiled and said: "Of course you want to go, this is a good opportunity that is difficult to seize, how can you miss such a lively scene, Brother Yu, you will also run for the election tomorrow to ensure that you will be successful." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "You are not afraid of what Chunxiang Courtyard I live in every day after I get into middle school, and Qiuxiang Courtyard will ignore you." (To be continued......)
