Xiangyang City is located in the hinterland of Kyushu's mountains and rivers, and has enjoyed a high reputation since ancient times. The ancient city is surrounded by water on three sides, one side is backed by mountains, standing between mountains and rivers, sitting on the momentum of steepness and danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, making an extraordinary military fortress, and it is the only weapon of the Great Zhou State to resist the barbarians in foreign regions. What's even more rare is that the scenery in the city is full of scenery, and you have to get a spring water and take in the scenery on all sides. In peacetime, merchants gathered, literati gathered, and even the Semu people, who were rarely seen in other places, and Kunlun Nu were frequent visitors on the street. However, no matter how beautiful the city is, it also has its dark side.

"Go away! Go away! I know astronomy and geography, but I have never heard of any 'Valley of Forgotten Worries'. Now the little flower is really more and more good at deceiving people, making up all kinds of reasons to please people's sympathy, just asking for money. He also treats others as stupid pigs and stupid donkeys, which is really unseemly! Da Zhou is waiting for such a waste person, which makes people angry and resentful, and internal and external troubles are continuous. The scribe in a fancy dress spread out his folding fan to cover his nose with one hand, and hid it in his sleeve with the other, and vigorously blasted away the gray-robed young man in front of him, his mouth full of words and his expression full of disgust.

Hungry, Mo Chou was unable to resist the force of the scribe's push and fell to the ground. When the scribe saw him fall to the ground, he cursed and turned away.

The streets of Xiangyang are full of traffic, people are boiling, he has never seen so many people gathered together, but these people seem to be out of place with him, passers-by do not squint, it seems that they can't see him, but whenever a passerby passes by him, he can always bypass him, as if there is an invisible wall in front of him, isolating himself from others.

Mo Chou sighed, as early as a few months ago, he came to Xiangyang City by chance. I thought there were many people in the city, and maybe someone knew the way back to the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows. However, he is dressed as a flower child, and he is really not very popular. The attitude of the scribe is quite gentle, and if he encounters a reckless man who runs the rivers and lakes, he may be rewarded with punches and kicks.

He sat on the ground and rested for a while, then got up and hobbled towards the big red building at the end of the street. This street is crowded with pedestrians during the day, and the streets are lined with bustling shops, which open early for business. So no one would want to let him stay at the door and ruin the business. Only the Wangchun Building with the vermilion lacquer gate at the end is closed, and the stone steps at the door are quite spacious, which can still allow him to sit down and rest for a while.

But at night, Wangchun Tower is the center of the street with red lights and willows, and it is only because of this that the spring color of the building is sold.

Mo Chou was sleepy and tired, hungry and thirsty, so he had to sit down and rest on the stone steps in front of the building. At this time, the red door of the red mansion was opened, and two people walked out from inside, a man and a woman. The man is full of fat intestines and has a rich face, while the woman is graceful and beautiful. Mo Chou saw that the woman was good-looking, and couldn't help but look at it twice, he saw that he was wearing a small red belly pocket to cover his body, only covering a little spring light, wearing a semi-transparent emerald green light veil, and a long skirt on the lower body, which made him even more tall.

The two were talking and laughing, but at this time, the man noticed that Mo Chou was looking here, and thought that he was here to ask for silver and flowers. Thinking that he was afraid that the concubine next to him would think that he would be stingy and unwilling to break the bank, so he had an idea, pretended to be angry, and said evil words to Mo Chou: "Damn little Hanako, what do you see!?"

When Tuxing Sun was murderous, he was more than ten times more terrible than this person, so how could Mo Chou be afraid of him? So he casually distinguished: "What is so good-looking about you fat man? I look at this sister, what does it have to do with you?"

When the man heard this, his face turned purple with anger, and he shouted angrily: "Bastard thing! Bad uncle's Yaxing, it's hateful!" After scolding, he seemed to feel still angry, kicked Mo Chou, kicked him down, and then spat it, scolded and walked away.

After the man left, Mo Chou didn't cry out in pain, took a breath, and sat up trembling again. Suddenly, he asked with a burst of aroma, and turned his head to look, but saw that the beautiful woman had already come to him, bowing and half-squatting, only a little distance from him. Seeing this, he hurriedly shrank back and moved back a little, putting some distance between him and the woman.

When the woman saw him like this, she couldn't help but hide her face and laugh, and she whispered, "Little fellow, what are you doing? Could it be that this girl is more terrible than that stupid pig?"

Mo Chou replied: "My robe is dirty, don't stain your beautiful clothes." ”

When the woman heard this, her expression darkened, and there was a little more sorrow between her eyebrows, and she said quietly: "I'm used to seeing things dirtier than your robe, so why do you care about this?"

Mo Chou blurted out: "My mother said that if a person's heart is broken, it is dirty to wear brocade clothes, and if the heart is pure, the mud is also pure." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What you said went to my sister's heart." That's all, my sister can't watch you hungry. Let's go upstairs with my sister to get some food. After that, without waiting for him to nod in agreement, he grabbed the gray and black robe and pulled Mo Chou into the Red Mansion.

As soon as Mo Chou entered the door, a woman walked in front of him, and the woman's face was a little too thick and thick, whiter than paper, and she swayed when she walked. The woman saw Mo Chou beside the woman, and said in a sharp voice: "My baby Feng'er, why did you bring so many people into our building? Bring me my Persian sachet, I can't breathe. ”

The person who spoke was the old bustard in the building, and when he saw that the woman called Feng'er ignored her, her brows furrowed, staring at a pair of dead fish eyes, panting heavily, and the pink on her face fell like snowflakes.

Feng'er pulled Mo Chou straight into his room, there was a whole plate of untouched pastries on the table, pointed to the plate and said, "You can eat these things, don't waste them." ”

He looked at the colorful pastries on the plate, all exquisite, swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, remembered his mother's warning, so he just shook his head and went to eat.

Seeing that he didn't eat pastries, Feng'er couldn't help asking, "Are these pastries not to your taste?"

Mo Chou replied: "I can't eat these things, if my sister takes pity on me, just make me some tea to drink." ”

Although Feng'er felt a little strange in her heart, she didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, turned around and walked out of the room, and when she came back, she was holding a tea cake in her hand and a pot of hot water. Carefully broke the corner of the tea cake and brewed a pot of fragrant tea quite carefully.

Mo Chou smelled the fragrance of tea, didn't care about the hot water, and drank three bowls in a row, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.

Seeing that he was gobbling up, Feng'er covered her mouth and giggled. Seeing that he was chewing peonies, he couldn't stand it, so he said: "Drink slowly, no one will rob you." This tea is a good Longjing, like you swallowing dates, but you have wasted this pot of good tea in vain. ”

Mo Chou touched his mouth and said in disgust: "This tea is indeed Longjing, but if it is said to be the best, it is a bit far-fetched." You see that this tea is more than sweet, not bitter enough. The first-class Longjing is a bud and a leaf at the beginning, and although the tea leaves are also a bud and a leaf, they are fully unfolded, which can only be regarded as inferior. And the cooking technique is not from the famous family, the color is not gold or yellow, and it is slightly lacking in heat. ”

Feng'er was stunned when she heard this, and said in surprise: "How can you know this at a young age? But how can you be a person who has a hard mouth and a straight heart like you? If you don't change your stinky temper, you will have to suffer in the future." ”

The two of them were talking, when the door was suddenly pushed open, and the old bustard rushed in, and Feng'er saw that she was out of breath, and came in a hurry, and thought that she was here to catch up with people, so she said negatively, "Why is the old mother so stingy, how much did he eat, and he turned around and deducted it from my share of the money, why bother you to come to the door to drive people out in person?"

The old bustard said with a crying voice: "Good daughter, how can my mother have time to worry about this little flower child." Hurry up and dress up, and come with me to meet the guests outside, if you can entertain these distinguished guests, you will bring whoever you bring to the building in the future, and my mother will not ask again. ”

Feng'er wondered: "It's this hour, how can there be guests coming to the door? Mom just needs to find a reason, and send them away for an excuse, and wait for the evening to come back, why rush?"

The old bustard said: "You said it lightly, if these uncles can be easily dismissed, what is my mother begging you to do?" Downstairs are the sons of some dignitaries, and the person headed by him is Li Yi, the eldest son of Li Taishou. Now they're making trouble downstairs, I have to listen to you play the tune, daughter, don't make it difficult for your mother. ”

After thinking for a while, she sat down at the dresser and dressed up slowly. Seeing that the old bustard was waiting in a hurry, he kindly comforted: "Wangchun Building is a household industry, and the sisters are all daughters of the criminal family, there is no household department, and my mother is afraid that they will smash the building?"

The old bustard said bitterly: "Naturally, they won't smash the building, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, if you want to embarrass us, it will not take much effort." Li Taishou is the brother of Concubine Xi, even if he kills me, the household department will not care. ”

At this time, I heard someone downstairs shouting: "A cheap maid, what a big shelf! The young master has been waiting here for a long time, why haven't you seen her come down? Is it possible that I want to invite her out of the eight-carrying sedan chair?"

I heard a gentle voice again: "Don't worry, don't worry, the pastries in Wangchun Building are delicious, let's just wait while eating." ”

The previous voice hurriedly responded: "Wu Gongzi is right, I also think the pastries in this building are very good, invite the pastry chef back to the house another day, and let him teach the people in the family well." ”

Feng'er was talking downstairs, knowing that the person who came was not good, so he made up some makeup at random, hugged the guzheng at the head of the bed, and walked out of the door with lotus steps. When I arrived at the staircase, I first looked down and saw that there were many people gathered in the lobby, and five people sat around a round table, all dressed as sons. A group of guards protected the people, and it seemed that each of them had extraordinary skills.

When Feng'er went downstairs, he was seen by Li Yi, the eldest son of Xiangyang Taishou, Li Yi saw that Feng'er was beautiful and dignified, he was stunned at first, and then pointed to a handsome boy next to him and said: "This brother is a distinguished guest in the general's mansion, I heard that Miss Feng'er played a good piano, so I came to listen to it." If you play well, my son will be rewarded!" After that, he spread a stack of silver tickets on the table, and the old bustard standing next to him couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw it.

Feng'er pretended to smile and walked up to the high platform with light steps. After arranging the piano, I first played a song "Man Jianghong", and the aftermath lingered, and it was endless for three days. After listening to it, the beautiful boy remembered it for a long time and praised her a few words.

When Li Yi heard this, he first laughed and praised, and then stuffed the silver ticket into the arms of the old bustard. The old bustard was about to flatter a few words, when he heard Li Yi say: "Miss Feng'er's piano skills are very good, my friend wants to ask her to go to the house for a few days, and the bustard collects the money, and it will be used as the appearance fee of Miss Feng'er, and someone will come to pick her up later." ”

The old bustard looked embarrassed, and opened his mouth to distinguish: "Li Gongzi, it's not that the old woman is unwilling, it's just that the girls in this building are all approved by the imperial court, and they can't leave here without household documents." Li Gongzi, look ......"

Li Yi was furious, and he was about to hit someone, when he suddenly heard someone behind him laughing: "What a shameless and humble son! ”

After Li Yi heard this, his face changed drastically, and he followed the prestige, and the person who spoke turned out to be a little Hanako, and he suddenly felt that his face was swept away, and his anger could not be calmed, so he shouted to his subordinates: "Where do you have to call Huazi?

When the guards saw their master speak, they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to take someone.

At the right time, the delicate boy suddenly slapped the cup, and there was a 'bang', and the lobby was suddenly silent. I just listened to him and said slowly: "This little brother is right, since people can't help themselves, why should we force it? Li Yi, if you care about this with him, you will lose your bearing." With that, he took the folding fan on the table and walked out of the Wangchun Tower first.

Li Yi saw the man walk out of Xu Yuan, glanced at Mo Chou, and then chased out. As soon as the main owner left, a few people were bored, and they also dispersed in a hurry, leaving no one left.

Seeing that the evil stars had gone away, the old bustard sat on the ground, and her broken gong voice shouted again, only to hear crying and shouting: "You're going to kill your mother and me! That kid has offended Li Gongzi now, and we Wangchunlou will also suffer! You want your mother's life!"

When Mo Chou heard this, he said loudly: "A good man is a good man." The old woman thinks I'm a nuisance to you, so I'll leave!"

Seeing that he said to leave, Feng'er hurriedly chased after him, handed him some broken silver, and instructed: "Although Li Yi is domineering, he can't take Wangchun Tower as well." It's you who let your sister worry about it, now that you have offended Li Yi, you can't stay in Xiangyang City anymore, take the silver and go out of the city, so as not to lose your life. ”

Unexpectedly, he did not hesitate to push away the silver, and said: "Great grace is not grateful! If I have a bright day in the future, I will definitely not forget my sister!" After speaking, he strode out of the gate.

But he didn't think about it, he hadn't taken a few steps away from Wangchun Tower, and suddenly felt a black overhead, and the huge sack was covered in the air, and even people were trapped. Then I felt that my body was light, as if I was being resisted on my shoulder. There was a strange fragrance in the bag, and his limbs were weak after smelling it, and he couldn't lift his strength. At this time, I heard someone outside the sack say: "Move quickly, delay the son's business, our brothers don't have good fruit to eat." ”
