two ears pricked up

In summer, the climate is changeable. When Yan Xuechong drove to Xiuxiang Street in a carriage, the clear sky was quickly covered by the drifting dark clouds. The accumulated dark clouds gradually thickened, and the cool wind rolled up. There was a dull rumble of thunder.

Xia Yu came as soon as he said it, bean-like water droplets fell from the sky one by one, and then merged into a large piece, falling on the roof of the carriage noisily, the street vendors and pedestrians walked quickly to find the spacious eaves To avoid the rain, Yan Xuechong frequently pulled the curtains of the car, and raised her voice to urge the groom to drive faster.

The groom drove into Xiuxiang Street, the night was getting darker, the brothels were brightly lit, the girls who had rested for a day were dressed up in beautiful clothes, twisted their slender waists, and leaned on the railing to call out to customers. I can't stop the beauties calling me delicately, even if I don't spend the spring supper with the beauties, I have to go in and hug them for a drink or two, and leave after the addiction of holding the warm and fragrant soft jade in my arms.

Compared with the brothel, the red building at the opposite door is much quieter, the singing and silk music are swaying in the wind and rain, and there is no sign of attracting guests outside the building.

Yan Xuechong jumped out of the carriage, but the servant didn't have time to hold an umbrella for him to protect him from the rain. He limped and ran towards the brothel, stopped outside the door, tidied his hair that was disturbed by the rain, and led the servant inside. , suddenly hesitated.

Would Hu Yan not like his reckless behavior?

It is very common for a man to seek some fun to relieve his fatigue. Hu Yan has high eyesight, and he might come in for a drink or two. If he appeared rashly, Hu Yan might be disgusted.

Yan Xuechong paced back and forth, thinking about it, a girl in the building greeted him, recognized his identity, and smiled charmingly.

Yan Xuechong asked her: "You have a handsome Mr. Hu here?"

The girl shook her head, wrapped her limp lotus root arm around his hand, and said with a smile: "There is no Mr. Hu in the building today, but Mr. Yan has one."

"There is no Mr. Hu?" He was annoyed to himself, confirmed with his servant again and again, took out a piece of silver, and ordered the old bustard to come out.

The procuress wearing thick makeup quickly came out to greet him, accepted the money with a smile, asked him which girl he was looking for, and introduced all the top cards in the building by the way, Yan Xuechong sneezed several times, smelling of the powder He was dizzy, "Did you come in for Mr. Hu not long ago?"

The old bustard thought about it carefully, Yan Xuechong asked his servant to throw her another piece of silver, and then she smiled and said: "No, young master, it's raining today, and the business in the building is cooler than usual at night. Remember it clearly."

Yan Xuechong glared at the servant unhappily, and the servant hurriedly bowed to admit his mistake, "Little, little one saw that young master entered Xiuxiang Street, so he rushed back to inform the young master."

"Pine you half a month's money."

The servant wanted to cry but had no tears, so he followed Yan Xuechong out with a bitter face.

The rain was heavy, and Yan Xuechong stood there blankly in the dark alley on a rainy night. He suddenly turned his gaze to the red building opposite, and said to the servant who was not good at the job: "I'll give you a chance to get rid of your work and go in to find out if someone is there or not." inside."

"Young one, let's go!" The servant rushed under the rain curtain, his figure disappeared into the red building, and ran out after a while, smiling and saying: "Young master, I have inquired with the people in there, Mr. Hu is inside, I go up Lou quietly took a look, and it was indeed him."

Yan Xuechong's soft boots were soaked by the rain, and he didn't care at all, and asked, "Then what is he doing?"

The servant said: "I'm listening to someone playing the piano and singing."

"Can you hug, hug those girls' bodies?"

The servant suppressed a smile, "Young master, the red building is not like a brothel, the women in it only sell their skills but not their bodies, Mr. Hu doesn't hug anyone."

Yan Xuechong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, you don't have to deduct half a month's money."

The servant grinned, "Thank you, young master!" Seeing that Yan Xuechong's hem and soft boots were wet, the servant said, "Why don't you sit in the red building for a while?"

Yan Xuechong didn't have the courage just now, "Forget it, I'll wait outside."

He came out in a hurry, the smell of the medicine on his body was washed away by the rain, and there was a faint pain in the place where the medicine was not applied. He hissed and gasped, the servant noticed it with sharp eyes, opened the curtain, and said, "Young master, The rain is thick, go back to the carriage to avoid the rain."

He shook his head, "Don't go in."

Stubbornly waiting outside the door with an umbrella, when he was hungry, he would take a bite of the small candy he carried with him, and when the familiar figure approached the door, he moved closer, but did not dare to really go there.

A carriage stepped on the water and stopped outside the door, blocking Hu Yan.As soon as the carriage moved, Hu Yan disappeared, presumably he got into the carriage in front of him.

Yan Xuechong stopped at the spot in a daze, the drizzle that had leaked through the oil-paper umbrella wet his temples, the servant watched the carriage go away, and said, "Young master, go back, lest you catch a cold."

Hu Yan didn't notice him.

Yan Xuechong said that it was a lie that he was not lost. He stood in the rain like a big idiot and waited. , the carriage stopped, and Hu Yan lifted the curtain from the inside. He couldn't tell whether it was annoyance or something, and said: "You boy."

Yan Xuechong laughed out loud, "Master, so you saw me."

"Get in the carriage." Hu Yan didn't talk nonsense with him, Yan Xuechong wanted to climb into his own carriage, but Hu Yan said: "Come here."

"what?"

Yan Xuechong was afraid it was an auditory hallucination, so Hu Yan waited impatiently, so he walked over in sync with his hands and feet, and stood in the rain for an hour, his body covered with a layer of cool water vapor.

He sneezed violently, seeing Hu Yan frowning, he quickly covered his nose and mouth with his hands, trying to hold it back.

Hu Yan touched his hand, "Don't you know to wait in the car?"

Yan Xuechong blinked, "I don't want to, I'm afraid I'll miss you if I don't pay attention."

Hu Yan: "..."

He opened the curtain of the car to let the groom drive the car to the pharmacy. After hearing this, Yan Xuechong asked him anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Hu Yan didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, "Didn't you give your father a wound all over your body? Xiaobai told me."
