Chapter 17 Xiangxue Building
When Haibao returned home, it was already the second watch, and He'er Shui was playing with dice, listless, and when he came back, he hurried to give him a hot meal. Looking at their overjoyed looks, a warm current surged in Haibao's heart. These two girls have to wait until he comes back every day and serves him to sleep before they go back to their rooms to rest. It was too late today, but they still waited, and they didn't know if they would wait all night when he didn't come home at night? He couldn't bear it, and when they had set up the meal, he said, "He'er, Shui'er, I'll come back late, you don't have to wait for me, go and rest first, if I need you when I come back, I will call you." The two girls looked at each other and smiled. He'er said: "Master, you care about the slaves and maids, it is the blessing of the slaves and maids, but serving the master well is what the slaves and maids should do, and the master does not have to take it to heart." Shui Er said: "Yes, yes, if you don't come back, master, where can we sleep!" This sentence made the three of them laugh.
Haibao hadn't eaten much in the restaurant, but when he saw the food, he felt very hungry, so he devoured it to his heart's content, and when the two girls cleaned up the dishes and plates, they went back to the bedroom, ready to take off their clothes and go to bed.
As soon as I took off my coat, a mass of things fell off, but it was the ribbon. Hypertherm picked it up and inspected it in his hand, only to find that the ribbon was a multicolored color, with a red silk thread in the middle running from head to tail, like the blood of the entire belt. The belt is woven with high-quality silk, which is cold to the touch, soft and smooth, like a woman's skin, and there is a faint fragrance on it. Hypertherm couldn't help but put it under her nose and sniffed it, then rubbed it on her cheek a few times, and her heart jumped suddenly.
After rubbing for a while, he suddenly came to his senses, felt that his actions were extremely inappropriate, raised his hand and slapped himself, and said to himself: "Zhang Haibao, why are you so dirty? You picked up other girls' things, so naturally you should protect them and return them in the future." Thinking that Miss Du is like a fairy-like person, how can she blaspheme casually!" After speaking, he folded the ribbon thinly, put it under the pillow, felt that it was inappropriate, and put it in the closet. As soon as I lay down, I thought: I should take it with me, and I can return it to her at any time when I see Miss Du. Then he got up again, took out the ribbon, and put it in his close-fitting pocket.
I experienced too many things this day, and I was already tired, so I tossed it again, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, it was already dawn, and Haibao hurriedly got up, had breakfast in a hurry, and went out. He originally wanted to go to a place where there were many people such as tea shops, restaurants, inns, etc., but as soon as he went out, he saw Sheng Zuoyu wearing a moon-white trimmed brocade robe, and he came slowly with a folding fan in his hand.
Seeing Haibao coming in a hurry, Saint Zuoyu said, "I'm just about to look for you, I'll take you to a good place to play today." ”
Haibao said: "Is there a whereabouts of Miss Du?"
Saint Zuoyu said: "Why are you all Miss Du in your mind, let's go, come with me, and make sure you have fun." ”
Haibao shook his hand and said, "Miss Du still doesn't know where to suffer, how can we sit idly by and go to be at ease alone!"
Sheng Zuoyu smiled and said: "Teasing you, I came to you early in the morning, wasn't it just for Miss Du's business? If you come with me, you'll know. ”
At this time, Haibao remembered that Saint Zuoyu was supported by the intelligence system of the entire palace behind him, which was like himself, and he was only concerned about one person in a hurry. So he followed behind Saint Zuoyu, and without asking too many questions, he walked forward quickly.
Not long after coming to the gate of a compound, I saw the Red Mansion Qiongge from a distance, which was very good-looking. When I got closer, I saw that the plaque of the gate was inlaid with three gilded characters of "Xiangxue Building". Haibao suddenly remembered the conversation between the three men last night, and knew that this Xiangxue Building was a place of wind and dust, so he unconsciously stopped and said to Shengzuoyu: "What are we doing in this kind of place?"
Saint Zuoyu said: "Of course it's to see the beauty!"
Haibao said: "I won't go!"
Sheng Zuoyu said: "You won't tell me, your mother said this is not a good place, right?
Haibao knew that Saint Zuo Yu was teasing him again, and stood in place with a red face, unable to move. He was already at an age when he first knew about men and women, and he was both curious and repulsed by this kind of romantic place. Although he grew up with Xiaoqing's sister since he was a child, and now he has two beautiful girls by his side, he is like a sister to them, and he has never thought about it. But what kind of place is Xiangxue Building, just thinking about it, it's like doing something unseemly.
Sheng Zuoyu smiled: "You're not a girl, why are you twisting and pinching." If you want to save Miss Du, just go in generously. This is not a Longtan tiger's den, afraid of what he will do. A dignified seven-foot man, I'm afraid that others will take advantage of him!"
Haibao nodded awkwardly and walked in with Saint Zuoyu. In that way, it was really like entering the tiger's den in Longtan, and Sheng Zuoyu couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw it.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, the old bustard immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "Yo, the two masters are really handsome, and only our girls here are worthy of the two masters", said and waved back, and said: "Jiaojiao, Meimei, come and serve the two masters!" At this time, two girls who looked quite good-looking came over, one by one, and stepped forward to hold the arms of Shengzuo Yu and Haibao respectively. Haibao hurriedly turned sideways, the girl fell into the air, stunned for a moment, and then smiled again, and said: "Doesn't this master dislike Meimei for being ugly?" The old bustard hurriedly said: "If the beautiful girl doesn't meet the master's wishes, just change another one." Said it and shouted again, Haibao saw Sheng Zuoyu glaring at him, and hurriedly said stiffly: "No need!" Sheng Zuoyu said: "Yes, yes, the beautiful girl is charming and moving, my brother likes this type, don't bother, mother, isn't there a performance of the girl in clothes today? The old bustard said: "The two young masters are really discerning, the singing and dancing of our Yi'er girls are now resounding all over Yunzhou City! Buns, take the two masters to find a first-class box!" A turtle slave next to him agreed, and led Haibao and them through a crescent moon gate to an open hall.
In the center of the hall is a large stage, covered by a curtain. The stage was surrounded by rows of wide seats, covered with bright red cushions, on which many guests were already seated, some of whom reclined on their seats, holding women with heavy makeup in their arms, and laughing from time to time. The periphery of the hall is surrounded by small cubicles, which are private rooms. In front of the door of the box, a curtain of colorful beads hangs down like flowing water. The entire hall, including the periphery of the box, is decorated with golden glass, and the floor is covered with a bright red carpet, which is a magnificent scene. At this time, Haibao understood why the Qinglou is also called "Merry House" and "Pinjin Nest", this style is all piled up with money!
At this time, the beautiful girl happily put her arms around Hypertherm. Hai Bao was tall, and the beautiful girl was almost hanging on him, but Hai Bao had to endure it, and couldn't stop laughing at Sheng Zuo Yu.
Finally arrived at the box, the two sat down, and the beautiful girl finally took off the arm wrapped around Haibao's body, but climbed Haibao's neck again. Haibao was quite displeased and said, "Meimei girl, there is a seat here, can you sit down first?" Meimei smiled and said: "As long as you like it, you can ask Meimei to do anything." After speaking, he sat down next to Hypertherm, lifted the teapot on the table, and poured a cup for Hypertherm, who took it and put it on the coffee table in front of him.
Haibao looked at this box, and saw that it was very gorgeously arranged, the wall was decorated with a golden cloth of unknown material, with dark lines of silver thread on it, a landscape painting hung on the wall in the center, the ground was covered with a red carpet, there was a low table in the middle of the room, on which was placed a set of delicate crimson tea sets and some snacks, and on both sides of the low table were two rows of soft couches, on which they sat on the soft couch. There is a large window on one of the walls of the box, and the curtains are open, through which you can see the situation in the central hall clearly. There was a stage in the middle of the hall, and the curtains on the stage had not yet been opened, and the slightest orchestral sound could be heard behind the curtains, presumably as the musicians were preparing for the upcoming performance.
Sheng Zuoyu hugged Jiaojiao and said with a smile: "I heard that the girl Yi'er only sells her art and not her body, is it true?"
Jiaojiao said with a smile: "What kind of performance is not selling oneself, it is just to fool the uninformed master outside." If the price is high enough, of course everything will be sold. Why, is Ye interested in Yi'er? Jiaojiao can meet all the requirements of Ye!"
Sheng Zuoyu pinched her delicate face and said, "I heard that my mother is very good to Yi'er girl!"
Meimei said: "Yes, I really don't know what's good about the clothes, isn't it just dancing well, Xiangxue Lou, it's not that there are no girls who dance better than her, and there are more than one or two girls who are more beautiful than her, I haven't seen my mother be so good to other girls, not to mention the largest room for her, and also split a bathhouse for her, and even gave her the reputation of selling her art and not selling her body, which is the first time in Xiangxue Building!"
Jiaojiao said: "Don't patronize the two masters, although Jiaojiao and Meimei are not famous for clothes, but clothes can be made for the two masters, Jiaojiao and Meimei can do it, clothes can't be made for the two masters, Jiaojiao and Meimei can also do it." After speaking, giggled, Sheng Zuoyu smiled and patted Jiaojiao's ass and said, "Little **." Meimei also laughed, picked up a piece of snack and sent it to Haibao's lips, and said, "Eat something!" Haibao said with a cold face: "I'm not hungry." Meimei had to put down the snack.
Haibao will not be able to deal with this kind of dusty woman like Saint Zuo Yu easily, nor will he adapt to the fireworks everywhere around him, at this time, he is simply sitting on pins and needles, and he doesn't know what the hell Saint Zuo Yu is doing. Fortunately, at this time, the music on the stage in the hall suddenly sounded, and everyone looked up, the curtains on the stage were slowly opened, and the surrounding boxes seemed to be boiling, thinking that the performance was about to begin.
Saint Zuoyu said: "Jiaojiao, Meimei, you guys go out first." ”
The two women smiled and said, "The two masters have a good time, if you need to find Jiaojiao and Meimei again!" After speaking, they exited the box.
Haibao was granted amnesty and said, "What the hell, didn't you come to find Miss Du, how could Miss Du be in such a smoky place?"
Saint Zuo Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll know in a while." ”
Haibao was even more anxious now, and said, "What the hell is going on?"
Sheng Zuoyu also stopped selling Guanzi, and said: "The people I sent out inquired that a middle-aged man came to Xiangxue Building in a carriage with two women and an injured man on the second watch last night. ”
Haibao said: "Where is Miss Du? Could it be that we have to search room by room?"
Saint Zuoyu said leisurely: "There are so many women in this green building, it is indeed not easy to find a girl who is hidden, but it is not clueless, otherwise the hard work just now was not done in vain?"
At this time, Haibao understood that the second prince was called Jiaojiao and Meimeilai, not just to hide people's eyes. After a moment's thought, he said, "Is it ......?"
Saint Zuo Yu nodded and said, "Eight times out of ten." ”
Haibao suddenly got up, and Saint Zuoyu held him down: "What are you doing?"
Haibao said anxiously: "Go find Miss Du!"
Sheng Zuoyu said: "Why are you kid stunned, if you want to go, you have to find a good time, and wait until you finish watching this wonderful performance!" said and squeezed his eyes at the stage outside.
Haibao also felt a little reckless, and although he was anxious, he sat down, and his eyes turned through the window to the stage in the hall outside, but his heart was still up and down. He didn't know why he was so worried, maybe it was just with a chivalrous heart, when he saw someone being bullied, he had to rescue him no matter what, just like when he saved Sun Juyi. But for some reason, this time is different from usual, if Miss Du is not out of danger, he can't settle down.
At this time, the hall outside was already full. As the curtain opened, the crowd slowly quieted down.
Everyone gathered their eyes on the stage. I saw that the gauze curtains around the hall were closed, and the light through the tulle created a trance-like effect in the hall. A trace of soft music slowly rose around, swirling in the ears of everyone, the last curtain on the stage opened, a woman in a colorful dress knelt on the ground, she was facing everyone on the side, with colorful phoenix feathers on her head, and her skirt was long and dragged on the ground, with a beautiful posture, like a peacock sleeping soundly. Because of the sideways kneeling posture, it looks even more slender waist and hips, and it is extremely enchanting.
Suddenly, the music suddenly became cheerful and rapid, pouring down like a spring, and the woman seemed to be awakened from her sleep, first her head slowly raised in a flying bun and peacock feathers, then her arms wrapped around the streamers slowly drew a graceful curve, and then her legs under the skirt slowly stretched out, and as the music became more and more rapid, the woman waved her sleeves steeply, turned around, and danced briskly. At this time, everyone saw her face clearly, and the crowd couldn't help but burst into amazement and cheers. That face, with delicate facial features and an elegant expression, is like a noble fairy. As she moved more and more, the long hem of her skirt flew with it. When the pair of slender and slender ** was revealed from under the skirt, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in unison, the ** one was naked, and the other was actually crossed with red and black ribbons, adding a trace of charm to the fairy-like temperament just now. At this time, her eyes began to roll around from time to time, making people think that she was looking at you, smiled, and quickly left.
Such a charming and large-scale performance made the blood of the men present boil, and many people stood up and cheered loudly.
In this noisy scene, Hypertherm was the only man who was not infected. He frowned, and pulled the sleeve of the holy Zuo Yu who could see the god hard, and the holy Zuo Yu understood it, and made a reluctant look and walked out of the box with Haibao. The two of them crept back through a corridor and went straight to the bathhouse in the backyard.
Since this is where the girls bathe, the two have to be careful for fear of being discovered. However, at this time, the backyard was clean, only two maids with towels and clothes and other clothes walked outside, and the two easily bypassed.
When I entered the bathhouse, there was a large public bath facing the main entrance, and the sound of a woman's laughter could be heard inside. Next to it are several smaller rooms, presumably separate private bathrooms. Which one is it?
The two of them lingered outside several bathrooms, listening. Hypertherm suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from a bathroom. The door was just hidden, and Hypertherm gently pushed open a crack to look in the direction of the sound, but saw two large wooden tubs placed side by side inside, one of which showed a head of black hair and half of a pretty side face, and his body kept shaking, as if he was struggling.
"Miss Du!" Haibao couldn't help but cry out.
