It was late at night, and with the endless lights on the river, most of the city had fallen asleep.
Above the Fan Building, Li Shishi held a lamp and watched the guests who returned at night leaving from different directions. During this time, the people who left did not have the previous loud noise, and there were not many people, or They came out alone through the side door, or in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, the servants brought the car, and everyone left in different directions gradually.
The lights were dimly lit, and she looked at the window for a while. This is not the end of a day in Fanlou, there are still many proud talents and frustrated officials staying in the rooms of Fanlou, and will accompany the good girls until the next morning. But this night, it was really deep.
Pedestrians returning at night crossed the alley with lanterns. The night watchman stopped by the side of the road and brushed past the lone carriage. Looking out from here, the lights of every household were gradually extinguishing, and dogs could be heard in the distance. The bark, someone spoke, but the voice of the words could not be heard clearly. The Grand Master's car drove back to the Grand Master's mansion, and a carriage with the emblem of the Taiwei's Mansion passed by.
She looked at these and took a sip of tea. The guests have been away for a long time, and the tea is already cold. She has been brought up with the best education since she was a child. She does not like this kind of tea. She often took a habit of taking a sip, and then… covered her lips with her sleeve, and spit it out. Going out the door, the maid followed and went back to the yard with her.
There are girls in Fanlou, some are in the arts, some are in the body, and most of them are both. It's too late. Although there are rich families who spend money to have fun, there are also many who are the guests of so-and-so talented women. If you don't go into it, there are also examples of sincere feelings and respect for each other. Of course, you will not spend less money. But it's probably worth it for each other. At this time, there are many stories of talented and beautiful women. Many women are also willing to defend themselves for a certain man. In Fanlou, this kind of thing is not prohibited. In fact, performing arts is more expensive than selling body. Although it is true that there are not many things about getting married, reuniting and reuniting, it is not impossible, and it can always leave people with good hope.
then. After walking through the courtyard below, several sisters greeted her. Some of them had no guests and went back to their room or rested outside. Others were serving guests and met her when they came to close the door. The atmosphere here was under the lanterns. It's a bit like family. Just the appearance of peace, not necessarily a group of harmony. When I left the large courtyard here and was about to return to the small courtyard where the Hua Kui lived, I met two women head-on. The two were also popular girls in the Fanlou, one named Tang Yue and the other named Tang Yue. Fu Qiushuang greeted her. Then there was some sarcasm. Mostly because she envied Li Shishi being able to go out to visit friends, and after she came back. Xu Dongmo and others came to look for her again.
Li Shishi also smiled dignifiedly and went back. While speaking, the night wind blew over, and there was a burst of crying. Li Shishi frowned, Tang Yue and Fu Qiushuang sneered. The cry came from a girl named Ling Xuemei in the building. She used to have some friendship with Li Shishi. Recently, it is said that she fell in love with a man. To defend one's body, it was nothing. But the man was not a wealthy family, and his talents were not necessarily outstanding. The money to redeem himself was not enough. Ling Xuemei also resisted performing arts. Locked in a black room to fight, this is already a trend to force her to pick up customers.
"I've already reached this point, I still can't figure out my identity, and pretend to be arrogant, really..." Tang Yue and Fu Qiushuang said this, looking at Li Shishi, probably with some innuendo, "Senior sister will not Do you sympathize with her?"
Li Shishi smiled and shook his head: "I remember what my mother said, when I just came to Fanlou, I heard someone crying, and my mother told me. I can't hear such a voice, that's good. , if one day I get used to it and gloat over the misfortune, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out for the rest of my life... Two sisters, I'll go back to my room first."
She nodded and turned to leave. She may not like what happened over there, but that's not something she can interfere with. There is such a thing everywhere.
Everywhere has its own ecology.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the day, the city has gradually fallen into a deep sleep in the night. Even if there is an occasional movement, it will be drowned in the darkness after it spreads to a short distance. In the palace, Emperor Zhou Zhe flipped over a sign, yawned and began to think about what he would say in the early morning tomorrow. In the study rooms of many officials' mansions, the lights were still on at this time, and the people in the lights rubbed the bridge of their nose and forehead. , Continue the work at hand, in the far and near courtyards, there are occasional movements of Susuo, and the prefect is humming obscene tunes in the newly married concubine's room. The carriage entered the Taiwei's mansion from the back door. On the side of the mansion, someone shouted, "Lu Qian, I can't take it anymore, I must kill you! Come out for me..."
A man named Gao Muen with a knife was running around in the courtyard of the Taiwei's Mansion, vowing to kill those who interfere with the martial arts around him, his language and appearance are quite comical. Finally, when he ran back to the yard where he lived again, he saw Lu Qian who was standing quietly under the door. When he was about to rush up, the other party pushed open the door next to him. In the ground of the room, a sack was still struggling. So his eyes lit up immediately: "Lu Qian, you still love me, who is this, who is this..."
He rushed in and cut the rope on the sack with a knife, and what came out was a woman bound by the rope, Gao Muen was stunned: "Lu Qian! What I want is not her, what I want is... Aah, forget it, it's her for the time being... Little Mimi, girl, I said I would find Little Mimi... "
Lu Qian closed the door, and then came the sound of laughter, the sound of clothes being torn, and the woman's desperate cry from her throat because her mouth was blocked...
The night continues, the stars, the moon and the layers of thin clouds turn in the sky, and the passage of time will not leave any place. Before dawn, the city gradually woke up, the sound of getting up, the sound of clad lamps, the sound of dogs barking, the mist flowing, dew dripping from the leaves, Ning Yi got up and did radio gymnastics in the yard. When entering another yard, Yuan Jin'er woke up very early. She was wearing a thin dress. Sitting under the eaves over there in a daze, he looked lazily and didn't know what he was thinking, but after seeing Ning Yi, he suddenly stood up and returned to the room coldly. Ning Yi raised his hand and wanted to say hello. , at this time can only give up.
"Psychopath..." he mumbled, touching his nose.
Take a break after breakfast. Then he had to go to the Qin Mansion to visit. Qin Siyuan was going to the morning court. He mainly discussed various issues related to Liangshan with Cheng Zhouhai and others, although he said that he had already made a preliminary breakthrough for this trip to Shandong. Thoughts, but after all, Cheng Zhouhai and these people work with intelligence all day, and can communicate with them more. For your own actions, it is good to discover more things that need to be checked and filled.
Because of the courtesy he received yesterday, Qin Siyuan also greeted the housekeepers. When he came to the Xiangfu this time, Ning Yi was welcomed in, but when he entered the courtyard where Cheng Zhouhai and others were, he heard words coming from inside. Voice.
"How can something like this happen... it's just a small thing..."
"But they're just out of control! If this goes on like this... Taiwei's Mansion..."
"Do you have witness evidence? What's the use of guessing, not to mention this kind of thing... "
Several people were talking inside. The loudest and more indignant is Cheng Zhouhai. Yao Zunian and Ji Kun seem to be persuading, but they also have a bit of injustice. Ning Yi shook his head. But it is not surprising that people like them who deal with all kinds of dark secrets have seen far more injustices than ordinary people. Listening to the meaning of their words, although they also know the injustices of what they say, they are successful. Zhouhai even scolds it, but it's not a feeling of wanting to stand out or do something, it's probably a routine expression.
When Ning Yi knocked on the door to go in, the three men stopped, and then greeted him. Cheng Zhouhai looked gloomy, nodded to him, and then threw the completed dossier to the side. After everyone chatted for a while, it was he who raised his head first and said, "I heard that Liheng met that Huahua Taisui yesterday."
"Well, it's nothing... The Sixteenth Master came back and said it?"
Regarding this matter, the reason why Cheng Zhouhai and others knew about it was mostly because of Qin Shaoyu. Yao Zunian said: "That Huahua Taisui is notorious, and there are many people in the capital who can't stand it. It's just that his adoptive father, Gao Qiu, favored Zhenglong, and everyone couldn't move him. There's nothing we can do about it."
"Well, I understand."
Cheng Zhouhai nodded: "That's it. Although Gao Muen is a mess, but he is a person with a real identity and background, he does not dare to move after all, although it is widely rumored that the Taiwei is only known by Cuju, but in fact ... Not an incompetent person. Liheng doesn't have to worry about the safety of the people around him, we will make arrangements here."
Ning Yi nodded and laughed. In fact, after chatting with Qin Shaoyu yesterday about Gao Yanei, Ning Yi had temporarily forgotten about it. In Bianliang, there are nearly one million people, businessmen and residents. At this time, the construction skills are not as developed as later generations. The entire city circle is as big as the cities of later generations with millions of people, even if it is eliminated. The surrounding rural areas and the city walls within the city walls are also considerable. It is fate to meet a celebrity like Gao Yanei, but it may not be that easy to meet again. Taking a step back, what Qin Shao, Yu Chengzhouhai and others said are all reasonable. Everyone starts, even if the Grand Commander Gao Qiu and the Holy Family Zhenglong are compared to the left and right, they can't keep this adopted son. And even if it doesn't matter, even if Jiangning and Hangzhou, there are very few such disciples.
"... molesting women is the most unpopular thing among these people's evildoings, but this Gaoya Nei is actually quite interesting."
Knowing that Cheng Zhouhai and others were trying to relieve himself, Ning Yi appreciated it and wanted to liven up the atmosphere, so he laughed and joked. However, this statement was only received with a wry smile. Yao Zunian shook his head. Although it was not a rebuttal, he obviously disagreed: "Liheng said it, it's not bad, but... I'll know later..."
His wry smile was not aimed at Ning Yi, and soon after, he put aside this matter and talked about other issues. Ning Yi was also not all-knowing. It wasn't until he went back that evening that he probably guessed the reason for the wry smile. Before that, he was quite famous and proposed to go with Qin Shaoyu, Cheng Zhouhai, Yao Zunian and others. An invitation from a brothel… (… )
