After eating, He Yan went upstairs with the railing.
The dishes are naturally delicious, but there is not a grain of rice left to eat, even if it is a delicacy, it is difficult to swallow in the end. After finally finishing the meal, and having the right to eat tomorrow, Second Young Master Xiao sneered lightly and said, "Sure enough, it is the amount of a human being."
If he hadn't said that he couldn't waste it, would she be able to make this rice bucket in front of everyone's eyes? The eyes of other diners looking at her were wrong, and He Yan felt ashamed.
She was too full to eat, she really didn't want to talk to Xiao Jue, so she went upstairs with the man. Fei Nu didn't even follow. She didn't bother to care. As soon as she entered the house, she first lay down on the slump.
This is really, I can't stand it.
The feeling under her body was soft and comfortable, and He Yan couldn't help but roll on the slump, so it was good to have money, and she would enjoy living like this when she went out. Xiao Jue's room is next door, she sticks her ears against the wall and wants to hear what Xiao Jue is doing there, but she doesn't know if the wall in the room is too thick and she can't hear anything at all.
Listening and listening, He Yan fell asleep.
Today, after rushing for a long time, I came back full of food and drink, and the bed was so comfortable, it was difficult to miss someone and not sleep. This sleep, when He Yan woke up, the sun had completely set and the moon had come out. She opened the window, the lanterns were already lit downstairs, and there was a singing voice of a singer in the restaurant not far away.
He Yan rubbed his eyes, drank a glass of water, got up and opened the door, walked to Xiao Jue's room, and knocked on the door.
After a while, someone in the room said, "Come in."
He Yan walked in, the light was lit in the room, Fei Nu was guarding at the door, Xiao Jue sat at the table, reading a book with a scroll in his hand.
Isn't this guy sleepy? I didn't see him working so hard at the Xianchang Pavilion, but now he is working hard. He Yan felt ashamed spontaneously in his heart, look, this is called learning without end. She craned her neck to see what book Xiao Jue was reading, but when she saw the man close the scrolls, he couldn't see anything.
He raised his eyes, his eyes were very cold, "What's the matter?"
He Yan said, "Commander, what are you doing at night?"
"Do nothing."
"Aren't you going out?"
He said, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say," He Yan smiled, "If you have nothing to do, I want to go out for a walk. It's my first time in Liangzhou City, and I want to see if there are any interesting gadgets around." She said nonsense: "If you find something suitable, buy some and bring them back to my fiancee."
Xiao Jue didn't seem to be interested in her affairs, and said indifferently, "As you like."
He Yan was overjoyed and said, "That's great, Governor, I'll go first!"
She almost jumped downstairs. After she left, Xiao Jue said, "Fei Nu."
The guard already understood and said, "Master, I'll follow him."
"Don't get too close," he said. "Be careful of being discovered."
"My subordinate understands."
…
He Yan rushed out the door.
Yuan Baozhen hadn't arrived in Liangzhou yet. They stayed at the inn for the next few days. They came to the city in advance and didn't tell the magistrate. Apart from repairing the piano, Xiao Jue probably had to deal with other things. But He Yan didn't plan to follow her. At least for now, Xiao Jue didn't have any intention of trusting her at all, so why bother with a warm face and a cold butt. She didn't want to read books in the inn like Xiao Jue did, which would remind her of the terrible memories she had when she was studying in Xianchang Hall.
The night is just right, so take advantage of this time to walk around. Although Yuan Baozhen has not yet arrived in Liangzhou, this is not the only way to know the news of the He family. Wherever there is a tavern and a restaurant, just shouting "I know General Feihong recently..." can lead to countless conversations. It's not that she is boasting. In the years when she was most famous, storytellers in many places had to tell stories about General Feihong.
Of course, I would also like to talk about General Feng Yun by the way.
At night in Liangzhou City, there were not as many people on the street as in Shuojing, but it was not deserted either. There are also roadside vendors who sell local products here. He Yan walked and looked at it, and she only had the silver she got when she fought for the flag.
Although Xiao Jue was her "uncle", he didn't mean to give her money. Fortunately, He Yan had already eaten and drank enough at this time, and didn't want to spend money, so he just looked at it and didn't buy it.
A dozen steps behind her, Fei Nu was following closely.
Xiao Jue suspected that He Yan's identity was different. When she brought her to Liangzhou city this time, she had to keep an eye on her at all times to see if she secretly contacted Xu Jingfu's people. Fei Nuxiao did her best, but she was still a little puzzled.
This young man, walking and watching all the way, as if he hadn't come out to go shopping, was very novel. He said that he wanted to buy gadgets for his fiancée, but he saw a lot of them, but he didn't buy any of them. Either he is a miser, and he is reluctant to give a girl a box of powder. Either he's lying, and now it's just a cover up.
He Yan turned a street and walked into an alley. Fei Nu remembered Xiao Jue's words and did not dare to follow too close. He estimated that when He Yan was about to reach the end of the alley, he followed him in. Once he entered, he was stunned for a moment. In the empty alley, only a few hanging lanterns are scattered in the wind, where are there still people
Fei Nu had a bad secret in his heart. He walked forward quickly and walked to the end of the alley. At the end of the alley, there was an avenue, and there were crowds of people on the left and right. He didn't see the boy.
Being discovered, he clenched his hands, not only that, but also lost the person.
He Yan flung his sleeves and walked forward.
Liangzhou City doesn't look very peaceful, and the gangsters are much smaller. When she first arrived, she was followed before she even stepped on the land. The other party followed her all the way, thinking that she has not offended anyone now, and most of them want to take advantage of the fire. It's just that now she is still staring at Cheng Lisu's identity, and Xiao Jue is still in the inn, so it's better not to cause trouble. Therefore, she didn't do anything, and didn't even fight each other face to face, she just quietly got rid of the person behind.
Without the tail, it is more comfortable to walk around. Just looking for it this way is not a solution. He Yan stopped a passerby on the street and said with a smile, "This brother, do you know where the biggest tavern in the city is?"
The man looked at her up and down, and seeing He Yan was dressed in a rich and noble manner, with an extraordinary appearance, he guessed that he was the young master of a wealthy family, and his tone was particularly good, and said, "The biggest tavern is the Wanhua Pavilion."
"Thank you," He Yan asked again, "How should I go to Wanhua Pavilion?"
"Not far, you follow this street, keep walking, and when you reach the end, you see a rice shop, turn left, and you can see it after a short walk."
"Thank you so much, brother." He Yan cupped his hands at him again, and then walked forward with a smile on his face.
It was exactly the same as what the man said just now. It didn't take long for him to walk. He walked along the left side of the rice shop and he could hear the sound of playing the pipa. There are also a lot of richly dressed young masters walking towards that end, needless to say, it is naturally the Wanhua Pavilion.
He Yan also followed the person and walked in.
Before she could reach the door, she felt a gust of fragrant wind rushing towards her nostrils. He Yan paused and felt a little strange. At this moment, a red fragrant wind rushed to her eyes, and her snow-white lotus arms climbed up. On her shoulders, the woman's charming smile was a little sultry, "Young master is good-natured, is this the first time you have come to our Wanhua Pavilion?"
He Yan: "..."
Isn't she asking about the biggest tavern? Can anyone tell her why the Wanhua Pavilion that person said was actually a brothel!
He Yan said, "I didn't come here." She tried to push the girl's hand down, but when the girl heard the words, not only was she not angry, but she pressed it even tighter, and He Yan's arm directly touched a soft ball , suddenly embarrassed.
Even if they are both women, this is too close!
The girl in red hugged He Yan and walked inside, saying as she walked, "You can come in and take a look if you're not here. Our Wanhua Pavilion is fun."
The other party was a woman, and he couldn't deal with her in the same way as Wang Jiugui. He Yan had no choice but to say, "Girl, I have no money, I'm very poor."
The woman glanced at her head-to-toe dress, and giggled: "Young master really knows how to joke, you don't have to be so stingy. If you are really stingy, it's fine. Yun Yan invites you to drink today, and he doesn't charge money, but it is good?"
The incense on her body was so pungent that it made He Yan dizzy. When she was not careful, she was pulled into the Wanhua Pavilion by this woman named Yun Yan. As soon as I entered, I felt the warmth and fragrant wind blowing towards my face. The young woman on the stage, wearing thin clothes, was playing the piano and singing. A group of gentlemen and literati were sitting in the audience applauding, throwing couplets and giving away couplets.
There were people everywhere, He Yan had not seen such a scene for a long time, and stopped for a while, not knowing where to go. Seeing this, Yun Yan covered her mouth and giggled, and pulled He Yan's arm again, "Young Master, let's go upstairs. There are too many people here. Young Master is so handsome, I am afraid that someone will come and grab it." He touched He Yan's face.
He Yan only felt a chill, like a rabbit entering a wolf's den, feeling uncomfortable all over. However, this Yun Yan was so enthusiastic, and seeing He Yan's face, she pulled He Yan upstairs.
Wanhua Pavilion has several floors. The bottom floor is the long platform, where the girls from the brothel play songs and dances. Upstairs is the elegant room, which requires more money and is used to entertain distinguished guests. Further up is where the girls live.
Yun Yan's appearance in Wanhua Pavilion is not outstanding, and there are not many benefactors to take care of her. Today, it was so easy to catch a rich young master like He Yan at the door, how could he be willing to let go easily. Looking at He Yansheng again, he is also beautiful, and if such a person is seen by other girls, it is inevitable that he will come to rob him. There are more monks and less porridge. Of course, the only way to do it is to do it first and lock it in your own room.
She kept holding on to He Yan, and He Yan was thinking about how to get away more naturally. When she walked upstairs, she no longer saw the benefactor hugging the girl.
"Is there no one here?" He Yan asked.
Yun Yan smiled and said, "Not everyone can enter a girl's boudoir, Young Master, don't sell it if you get it cheap."
The girls here are pungent and bold, and He Yan doesn't know how to parry. When passing a room, suddenly, the door was opened, and a man with loose hair rushed out, only to rush to the door, he was grabbed by his hair and dragged back. Before He Yan could take a closer look, the door was slammed shut, almost hitting her nose and knocking her fan flying.
All this happened so fast, He Yan was stunned for a moment. Yun Yan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is your son okay? Did you hurt you just now?"
He Yan shook her head, bent over to pick up the fan, and looked sideways at the closed door. She had excellent ears and heard the faint cry of a woman, and then a scolding voice from a mama.
"Here..." He Yan reached out to open the door.
"Young Master!" Yun Yan stopped him, "What are you doing?" There was a hint of precaution in her eyes.
He Yan thought for a moment, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were full of curiosity, "Who is this person? What were you doing just now?"
It was the first time she came to the brothel, she didn't know anything, a trace of contempt flashed across Yun Yan's heart, but with a smile on her face, she came to hold He Yan's arm again, "It's a new girl in our building, I don't understand. Rules, bumped into the guests, and mammy is teaching her."
"There are girls in your building who don't understand the rules?" He Yan said calmly, "I thought they were all as understanding as girls."
Yun Yan smiled happily and said angrily: "Young master is really sweet. We grew up in a brothel, we didn't know the rules and had no food, so naturally we didn't dare to rush into the guests. However, some people are different. , I thought I was still the young lady of the past, arrogant and self-willed, and always had to suffer. After eating a few more times, I would understand."
He Yan raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that he is from a good family."
"Young Master," Yun Yan pretended to be angry, her pink fist lightly hammered He Yan's chest, and said, "So you don't look down on our brothel girl?"
He Yan smiled softly: "How could it be? Of course, a well-behaved girl is more painful than a wild cat with claws."
She was born beautiful, wearing Cheng Lisu's fancy clothes, she looked like a handsome young man, if she pretended to be more romantic and suave, she would be able to fascinate a large number of young women. Sure enough, Yun Yan was also a little shocked by her smile, and there were more words unconsciously.
"Even so, some people like this kind of wild cat with temperament. Don't look at the people in this house who don't understand the rules. Now we, the young master of the Liangzhou magistrate, want her by name. I don't know where this luck came from." Said At this point, there is a bit of jealousy.
"The young master of the magistrate's mansion?" He Yan's heart turned back and forth, and there was no flaw in his expression. He only looked at her in surprise: "The people in this room are so attractive that even the magistrate's young master came here because of his name?"
"Why are you here because of her fame?" Yun Yan disagreed, "This girl just came to our building, and her mother asked her to pick up guests, and the one who picked up was the grandson. Who knew she was very good, very powerful, not only did not serve the grandson, but also used hairpins to stab It hurt Sun Gongzi's arm."
"Master Sun is the only son of the magistrate of Sun County, so how can we just forget it? Let mother train this girl for a few days, and send it when she is obedient."
As Yun Yan walked forward, she said, "It's just that this girl is also a strong-willed girl. It's been three days. Look at Fangcai, it's still the same. We haven't seen such a strong girl in Wanhua Pavilion for a long time. already."
"What can I do?" He Yan shook his fan and worried: "If the training is not good, how do you deal with Young Master Sun?"
"Young master is joking, there are no badly trained girls in Wanhua Pavilion. No matter how stubborn a girl is, if she drinks some medicine, she will naturally be unable to do anything. I think this girl is asking for trouble. After the young master has been coaxed, he might even be able to become a concubine. Now, even if he falls into the fall of Young Master Sun, I am afraid that he will not be able to gain the favor of Young Master Sun, and I don’t know how miserable the end will be.”
She said, jealous, but also a little sympathetic.
"Maybe she'll figure it out in a few days." He Yan was relieved, "There's no need to worry too much."
Yun Yan shook her head: "I'm afraid there's no time left. Soon, Sun Gongzi's people will come to pick him up. Just now I thought I was putting on makeup."
He Yan did not speak.
Yun Yan also seemed to realize that she was talking too much, so she showed the same charming smile at the beginning, dragged He Yan to a room at the end, and pushed He Yan in: "Look, you and I How can you talk about other people's affairs? Young master, why don't you come and talk about us."
This is a woman's boudoir. It's not very big. There are some rouge gouache on the dressing table, and the hibiscus red tent.
She wrapped her arms around He Yan's neck again.
He Yan's scalp was numb, but she still had the attitude of a romantic boy on her face, and said with a smile, "It's naturally good that the beautiful woman is in her arms, but doesn't the girl feel that something is missing?"
Yun Yan asked, "What's missing?"
"Of course it's fine wine. The girl and I hit it off at first sight. In this situation, we should have a drink." She thought about the scene where He Yuanliang was playing with the aunts in the house, and nodded Yunyan's nose, "Aren't you? Do you want to invite this young master to drink? Could it be that you are lying to me?"
The handsome and handsome young man flirted with him, even a happy woman couldn't help her heart rippling, Yun Yan stomped her feet and said, "How could it be? You wait, I'll go get a drink now, tonight... I'm drunk with the young master Fang Xiu."
She threw a wink, twisted her waist and went out. After He Yan waited for her to leave, he sat down on the chair and was relieved. Whether it is in the past or now, she is extremely bad at learning men to go to the brothel. It is really fatal. It's even scarier than going to Hyun Chang Hall to study.
She flicked her sleeves again, and from the sleeves, a small ball of paper rolled out.
When I just passed that room, someone suddenly rushed out and was caught back. In that very short time, a ball of paper was thrown out. At that time, she was afraid of being discovered by Yun Yan, so she threw down her fan and covered the paper ball. When bending over to pick up the fan, he picked up the paper ball again.
All the way, I was afraid of being discovered by Yun Yan, so I didn't dare to take it out until now. The paper ball was crumpled and crumpled, and He Yan unfolded it to see, two words were written on it.
help me.
The handwriting was written in Meidai, and it was a little blurry. The person who wrote it should be very nervous. Even so, it can be seen that the hairpins and flowers on the first hand are particularly beautiful.
There was a girl in that room.
Although what Yun Yan said was grand and grand, in the final analysis, it was nothing but four words, forcing the good to be a prostitute. She is by Xiao Jue's side now, and she shouldn't care about these things, so as not to cause trouble, but since knowing this, she has accumulated a sigh of relief in her heart, and it is difficult to stand by.
He Yan put away the paper ball again, stood up, pushed the door and left.
When Yun Yan came back with the wine, the house was already empty, she stayed for a while, stomped her feet, and scolded, "Liar!"
…
The night gradually deepened.
The singing in Wanhua Pavilion became more and more sultry and ambiguous. Men and women hugged each other and chatted and laughed intimately. It was difficult to tell whether it was a show or a true love.
The moon here is not as clear as when it was in the guardhouse, probably because there is no mountain and river, it is a little less spacious and a little more blurry.
In the teahouse opposite Wanhua Pavilion, the young man in brocade is sitting and drinking tea.
In the end, he was reluctant to use that piece of silver, so He Yan pulled a button from Cheng Lisu's clothes. The button was also inlaid with gold, and He Yan used this button to buy a cup of tea, the cheapest kind.
The owner of the teahouse has probably never seen such a wonderful woman who is dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, but has to pull buttons to pay, and his eyes are a bit indescribable, he only said: "Little brother, you still keep this button for yourself. Well, this cup of tea is for you, no money."
He Yan: "...Thank you." She put the button in place again, thinking about waiting for a while before sewing it back to Cheng Lisu. Why is it after a while, naturally because she has to go to the street these few days, what if she wants to drink tea again? After the province is sewn, it has to be pulled a second time.
If Cheng Lisu knew that He Yan had such an idea, he would probably regret lending her the clothes.
The darker the night, the more lively the Wanhua Pavilion, the more guests came to the pavilion, and very few of them went home. Warm fragrant nephrite in the arms, naturally lingering. At this time, someone came out of Wanhua Pavilion and saw it very clearly.
A carriage stopped in front of Wanhua Pavilion.
The two fat aunts helped a woman out, and the woman leaned half of her body on one of the aunts, as if she was drunk. He Yan took a closer look, and it was better to say that the two maids were supporting her instead of supporting her.
This is probably the stubborn girl Yun Yan was talking about who was favored by Young Master Sun.
Girl Ganglie was put on a carriage, and the carriage took her away. In addition to the coachman, there were also two guard-like people following him, like the escort guarding the darts. He Yan spat in his heart, this is really blatantly treating people as goods.
She put down the teacup in her hand and followed silently.
There were not many lanterns on the streets of Liangzhou city, and the night was very dark. Several times He Yan felt that the carriage was almost integrated into the long night.
The two guards sat in the rut of the carriage, talking.
"Today, I am a lot more obedient, and I don't say a word."
"Is there any good fruit to eat after entering Wanhua Pavilion? This girl is too ignorant of current affairs. If she had been obedient earlier, why would she suffer such torture?"
"Didn't she say that she is the young lady of a big family? It's not uncommon to think about it. But this is just right. The young master doesn't like her. After tonight, it may be cheaper for you and me."
The two of them looked at each other and laughed obscenity.
Just as he was talking, suddenly, the carriage slumped forward, almost knocking the two of them down. One of them scolded, "Hey! What's going on?" while raising his head.
But under the low eaves, there is a person sitting at the moment. He was wearing a brocade robe, his hair was tied, and half of his face was covered with a sweat towel, with only one pair of eyes showing, and he seemed to be smiling. He was throwing a few stones up and down in his hand, and the reason why the carriage stopped now was precisely because a stone cut through the wheels and the carriage could not move.
"Who are you?" the guard shouted sharply as he got out of the carriage.
"Do you have a problem with your brain?" The man spoke, his voice was very low and vague, but he couldn't hide the arrogance in his words, he pointed to himself, "I'm all dressed up like this, of course. robbery."
Robbery
In broad daylight, no, well, it’s dark and windy now, but in Liangzhou City, I haven’t heard this word for a long time. The important thing is that there are still people in Liangzhou City who dare to rob them
"I think you're impatient!" the guard sneered, "Do you know who we are?"
"I know." The man said lazily, "The Sun family of the prefect, the Sun family."
"I know you still dare..."
"I dare!" His words were interrupted, and the next moment, when he saw the man swept down from the eaves, he rushed over.
It was late at night, and there was no one on this road. The driver was so frightened that he had already lost the carriage and ran away. The two guards couldn't stop there, and all of a sudden, the three of them fought together.
The sound outside seemed to have disturbed the people in the carriage, and there was also a rustling sound in the carriage, and the people inside seemed to want to figure it out. He Yan said loudly, "Stay inside and don't move!"
Immediately, the voice vanished, and there was no movement. One of the guards seemed to suddenly realize, "You are her lover! Wow, what about robbery, it turns out that you are a group!"
"Your Sun family's brains are all made of paste." He Yan exclaimed and punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Another person rushed over with a knife, but unfortunately his strength was enough in front of ordinary people, but not enough in front of He Yan. He Yan smiled slightly and grabbed his wrist, the man only had time to let out a scream, the knife in his hand fell in response, and He Yan kicked him a few meters away.
Although these two were said to be Young Master Sun's guards, He Yan really didn't realize how good they were. Probably just came out to pick up people, just sent two people to come. Who would have thought that there would be someone so bold and fearless in the Sun family's territory
She bent over and picked up the knife that had just fallen from the ground.
The two guards were beaten and had no power to fight back. Seeing the masked man approaching step by step, he subconsciously stepped back and said, "If you have something to say, don't be impulsive, hero? Hero!"
This is a soft-spoken person, but there is another person who is not afraid, just doesn't know if he is sullen, he looked at He Yan and said with a sneer: "Stinky boy, you are very courageous and dare to touch the people of the Sun family. You know, tonight you cut someone off, tomorrow it's your turn, you... you got into big trouble!"
He Yan didn't even look at them, approached step by step, and when both of them turned pale, he slashed at the rope connecting the carriage to the horse.
"Am I afraid?"
After saying that, she reached out her hand and pulled the person in the carriage out. The woman was drugged, unable to move at all, and stared at He Yan with wide eyes.
He Yan helped her onto the horse, followed by him, and with a whip, he disappeared into the night very quickly.
