[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

After a few more days, when all the people who should be arrested have been arrested, I continue to go out and work as usual, but I have to face the pity or contempt of others—at least it is the prefect of my "fiance" Xiao Jin is squatting in the prison, everyone thinks I am forced to smile.

"Miss Zelan." As soon as I entered the gate of the Heizhou General Chamber of Commerce, Fang Baili, one of the officers, greeted me, "On the first day of next month, the squires in Yuanyou City will hold a banquet together to monitor Censor Kui Master Huang Yi welcomes the news, all the officers of the Federation of Commerce will go, look at you..." Fang Baili said considerately, "If you don't want to go, I will push it for you."

I really don't want to deal with Kui Huangyi anymore, but it's not what Fang Baili thought.Just as I was about to return his kindness, another voice came.

"Mr. Fang, the location has been decided." He Maode, who is also an officer and has several coal industries, walked over with a loud smile, "We have decided to hold a banquet in Haiming Lingxiao Pavilion for Mr. Yushi." He pretended It was only then that Tsukuru saw me, "Oh, Miss Zelan is here too! Blame my mouth, what did you say about Haiming Lingxiao Pavilion..." He looked really annoyed in a trance.

Haiming Lingxiao Pavilion is the largest brothel in Yuanyou City and the whole Heizhou.

I smiled and said, "It's a good place. I haven't been there before. This time, Mr. Fang just happened to be with you. Why don't you take me, a junior, to see it?"

Fang Baili narrowed his eyes, and smoothed his beard with a smile, "Okay, okay, that's very good."

"Miss Zelan doesn't know what this place is?" He Maode stared at me.

"Isn't it a brothel?" I tugged at my sleeves, "I remember this is owned by Boss Cui?"

The three of us were talking nonsense, and Cui Jing, the boss Cui who was also in charge, also came over.

Fang Baili bowed his hands to Cui Jinggong, "It seems that Haiming Lingxiao Pavilion is recognized by everyone as the number one brothel."

"Hahahaha, it's just a compliment." Cui Jing smiled and waved her hands, "Besides, the location this time was not recommended by everyone, it can't be recognized, it can't be taken."

"Oh?" He Maode asked suspiciously.

Cui Jing didn't show off too much, said: "Chairman Tian said this was appointed by Lord Yushi."

Kui Huangyi appointed to go to the brothel?

This is playing tricks on me, isn't it?I burst out laughing.

Cui Jing looked at me, "Miss Zelan?"

"It's okay," I waved my hand with a smile, "I'm just looking forward to this trip. You know, I've never had the chance to go before."

They laughed thoughtfully.

Guiyu, I am sure I really lost it all.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

When it comes to the first day of the first lunar month, I think that the famous ladies in Yuanyou City are probably gnashing their teeth secretly, because that day their husbands all went to the largest brothel in Heizhou, Haiming Lingxiao Pavilion, to hold a banquet for them. Kui Huangyi, the censor who turned the officialdom of Heizhou upside down.

Dressed up, I supported Yan Tian's sedan chair, and looked up at the plaque on the brothel.

"Haiming Lingxiao Pavilion, the name is resounding, and the words are even more grand." I praised Yan Tian.

"Hahahaha," Cui Jing, the boss, dutifully walked out to welcome the guests, "It's our honor to receive a compliment from Miss Zelan. Does anyone know that Miss Zelan is the master disciple of Lord Lin Mu and Lord Li Wenxian?"

"I don't dare to do it. I just need a few days of teaching and can play some chess. Fang's grandson is Master Mu's real disciple." I laughed.

Fang Baili walked over, "Hahahaha, that brat can do just that."

"Come in!" He Maode, who arrived later, said, "What's the matter with a group of officers from the All-China Federation of Commerce blocking the door?"

I followed up with a smile, and apologized, "It's my fault, I was dumbfounded just now when I saw the plaque in Lingxiao Pavilion of Haiming."

Their topic turned back to the plaque. Everyone praised me, and I humbly said it very warmly. After I laughed and echoed a few words to heat up the atmosphere, I kept silent.Entering the hall, it is even more lively.The precious decorations, the extremely colorful women in the brothel, the fragrance of the wind, the lights shining on the curtains and cages, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly, and the guests are drinking and drinking, whitewashing the peace.

"You..." A squire I don't know is about to grab my waist, and it seems that he regards me as a ****.

"Hmph!" The two servants standing behind me stood in front of me together and shook their muscles.

"Xiao Xiao, Ah Wen, please don't be rude." I said with a smile, "Hi, it's our first meeting. I'm the secretary of the Heizhou General Branch of the All-China Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Jia Zelan, who is Mr. Unknown?"

The other party was not stupid, and immediately stopped his movements, and greeted me with a gentle expression. We talked happily and politely as if nothing had happened before.I also understood the problem, so I walked around the hall, making sure I had seen everyone I was supposed to say hello to, and then settled into my seat.

Some people looked at me with strange eyes, but no one stepped forward to find trouble.

"Miss," Yan Tian, ​​who stood behind Shi Li, bent down expressionlessly, and said next to me, "It stinks, it's so noisy."

"I see you are exaggerating." I waved my sleeves to disperse the pungent fragrance, "I will faint, but I don't think I will die."

"Oh," she said knowingly, "no wonder men get dizzy when they come to the brothel." When she said this, the servant who followed her was embarrassed.

I covered my mouth and laughed a few times, and then said sternly: "Xiao Xiao, Ah Wen, each of you will be in charge later, you must follow me and Yan Tian closely, do you understand?" This is a brothel after all, it is better to be careful .

"Yes!" They agreed in unison.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, when the squires around me and I were getting acquainted, the protagonist of the banquet, Mr. Yu Shi, finally came late.Seeing Kui Huangyi's icy face and the eager faces of the gentry, I was inexplicably amused.I wrote to the elders Lin Mu and Li Wenxian about what happened here, and Li Wenxian, an old fox in the officialdom, replied that Kui Huangyi's high-profile going to the brothel banquet was to defile himself to avoid disaster.He didn't know how many people he had offended during this trip to Heizhou, so he had to leave some grounds for people to intervene to avoid the edge.

He is a man of style, even with a cold face, he soon made everyone around him laugh, even the No. 1 prostitute in the Black State surrounded him, and the atmosphere was great. Seeing other squires They were all envious.

I'm in a bad situation...Because I'm young and inexperienced, I have to drink first as a respect when I meet people, and I have to leave the banquet in the middle of the banquet to avoid going outside to relax.

"Miss." Yan Tian handed me a piece of toffee.

I ate it with a smile, and immediately felt refreshed, as if I had taken a panacea.Suddenly, there was a sound from behind.I turned my head and saw Guan Feixiang, with a beard and a servant's costume, standing at the corner of the corridor, with broken dishes all around his feet.

He yelled: "...Third Sister!" Ever since we became sworn brothers, Guan Feixiang, Zhong Jietong and I have been called brothers and sisters.

"What's wrong?" I took the wet handkerchief Yan Tian handed me, wiped my hands, and looked at him.

"You...!" Feixiang jumped on the spot, and then flew to me, grabbing my shoulders with both hands and shaking violently, "Why are you so obsessed with it! Third sister, if you have difficulties, you should Tell my brother! At worst, I will sell my brother for money!"

aha? "...you can't get much money if you sell your brother..." I was dizzy from being shaken by him, so I had to stretch out my foot and kick him.Feixiang cried out in pain again and again, I rubbed my forehead and said: "Second brother, if you have something to say, speak up."

"Third Sister!" Fei Xiang looked filled with righteous indignation, "I'll go and redeem you, ah no, I don't have any money, I'll go and snatch you back!"

This time I finally understood.I said angrily and amusedly, "Second brother, what are you thinking?"

"It's what you are thinking! Who the hell dares to force my sister into a brothel! I'm going to fight him one-on-one!"

"……"Hello.

Yan Tian stood on the side and said leisurely: "It's you, if I dress you up like this, Guan Erye will treat you as a brothel girl."

your motherfucker.

"Third sister, why did you become like this after not seeing you for a few days? Tell me quickly!"

Brother your head!

I replied angrily: "Yes, we just met yesterday, why didn't I know that my wise and powerful second brother would become a dish-holding servant in a brothel?"

"Ah!" Another scream came from around the corner.

I turned my head around Fei Xiang's tall figure, and saw a half-old Xu Niang rushing over aggressively, and grabbed Fei Xiang's ear, and came three hundred, no, it's too exaggerated... It's about 180 degrees A vicious big twist.

I swallowed, took a step back, and exchanged glances with Yan Tian.

Could it be that Feixiang used to have a good figure and the name Xu Niang?

Feixiang didn't go offline this time, so he immediately reacted, "Don't think about it! This is just the foreman! Ahhhhhhhhhhh..."

"Whose aunt are you calling? Huh?" Xu Niang tugged at Fei Xiang's ear, "Stinky boy, I'll lose all the money for these dishes to my old lady before you talk big!"

I covered my forehead and then smiled.My two righteous brothers are always so lively around me.

After a long commotion, I helped Feixiang compensate for the broken dishes, and explained clearly why I appeared in the brothel, finally calming down the scene.We walked to the side of the garden, Xiao Xiao, A Wen and Yan Tian guarded the entrance.

"Ah~" Feixiang sat on the fence by the lake, and casually threw small pebbles into the lake, "It turns out that you are going to clean up the mess again."

...Does he himself have the nerve to say that this is an "endgame"... I gathered my sleeves and skirt, and sat on the rock, "What's going on? Are you waiting for money?"

He scratched the back of his head, "You can't live and eat at Big Brother's house for nothing, he himself is not rich. Oh, don't look at me like that! Anyway, I get more salary than Big Brother!"

The veins on my forehead popped out inadvertently, and I raised my hand to press it down, "...You mean even the eldest brother works here?"

"Ahahahaha..."

"..." What ah hahahaha...

"Brother is going to Beijing to take the exam in the spring. In fact, we are working part-time to raise travel expenses. It's nothing." Feixiang's big hand pressed my head and patted me twice.

"Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me?"

"Hee hee." He wiped his nose.

"Okay, don't work anymore, I'll just pay for the travel expenses this time." I waved my hand to stop him, "Really, you should plan earlier if you want to raise money. Now that the exam period is approaching, you should hurry up. It’s right to study. I don’t have anything else, I only have two stinky money all over me, don’t I need to wait to bring it into the coffin at this time? The second brother has always been straightforward, so don’t be a mother-in-law in this matter.”

Feixiang laughed loudly, and slapped me on the shoulder, "Okay, on the contrary, brother and I are not as cheerful as third sister!"

I kicked him again—his hand was so hard it hurt me like hell.I glared at him, then laughed too.

After chatting for a while, Feixiang went to find Zhong Jietong, who was still working part-time. After I took a rest, I went back to the lobby and continued to socialize.The scene in the arena... Well, many people are already cuddling with xx, but no one has done anything too outrageous.I made up my mind and went back to sit down with a smile as if nothing had happened.

A squire sitting next to me was visibly uncomfortable, and I toasted him with a smile.After a glass of wine, he also returned to his status, talking and laughing with me.

Despite my best efforts, the atmosphere in the arena became more and more repulsive to me as a woman.Also, I don't think anyone likes a hooker while a good girl is watching, unless he's a psychopath.I smiled wryly.Well, it proves that the people around me are normal people, right?I took the time to ask Yan Tian to retreat first, and then asked Xiao Xiao to follow her, leaving only Ah Wen as guards.

I poured a large bowl of wine, stood up and respected the people at my table: "Zhang Jia Zelan is here to report, and I hope everyone will forgive me in the future. I will drink first as a respect." The wine pierced my intestines, and my throat was burning. I had to smile and wipe the wine stains from my mouth, and show them the empty bowl.

"Good!" They applauded.

The people sitting at my table are all young people, and when we fight over wine, the atmosphere becomes lively──

After the banquet, I hid in the toilet and vomited non-stop.

"Ouch!" It was really embarrassing.I didn't want to be heard vomiting, and I even sent Ah Wen, who had been guarding by my side, outside.

I vomited until the bile came out, and then I walked out holding the door with weak legs.As soon as I opened the door, a handkerchief was handed to me.I looked up and saw that it was Kui Huangyi.I looked at him several times before I took the handkerchief, half-covered my mouth, and bowed my head in thanks.He helped me to sit down on the stone steps by the porch, and gave me a glass of water.I stared at him suspiciously.

Not poisoned?

"Drunk?" He said coldly.

I just don't think such a kind gesture is suitable for him... Very good, his poisonous tongue proved that the person in front of me is the genuine Kui Huangyi, not me admitting the wrong person.I took the water, rinsed my mouth sideways, and then put down the handkerchief.

"thanks."

"You have much to thank me for."

I laughed.This man really knows how to push his nose to his face.

"Can you still laugh?" He squinted at me.

"Otherwise?" I pointed to the bustling main building of the brothel behind me, "I've learned a lot this time. I never thought that the brothel would be more magnificent than the No. [-] Restaurant in Zhoudu, and the food and drinks are first-class."

"You know where this place is, how dare you drink like this?"

"Otherwise?" I shrugged and hugged my knees. "New here, what can I do? It's okay, I just have a stomachache, I'm not here to drink unconscious." I looked at him with a smile, making fun of him , "I think Aoi-sama's side is quite lively."

After listening, he didn't say anything, but unceremoniously stretched out his hand and pulled out the hairpins on my head one by one.

"You're a definite personal attack..." I stared at him dumbfounded and then took off all my hair accessories.

"Nonsense!" He threw the hairpin back into my hand and reprimanded lightly, "Others will think Miss Zhang is a nouveau riche with poor taste."

I laughed again, shaking a finely crafted golden step, making a crisp sound of pearls and jade colliding.

Yuanyou City in January is covered with a large amount of snow.Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, even the snow on the roof of the hut is covered with a hazy brilliance by the moonlight.

Kui Huangyi suddenly stood up and left, but when he came back, there were two servants behind him, carrying a piano.I laughed, sat down by the piano knowingly, and plucked the strings twice.

In a small backyard of a brothel, there is a toilet next to it.I fiddled with the strings casually, thought about it, smiled, and played the mountains and rivers.This is a song that Li Wenxian taught me in his spare time. I don't know if it is the same as the song "High Mountain and Flowing Water" in my original world.This song that Li Wenxian taught me has a bit of the fireworks of the literati, and also has the meaning of lamenting the uncanny craftsmanship of nature, and not forgetting the humanities in the world.

After playing a short section, Kui Huangyi's dragon flute was also added.

...is still a bit jarring.

We looked at each other from time to time, adjusted the pace, and finally got the tune in the past, and the playing became smoother and smoother.

At the end of the song, he walked to the piano, leaned over to look at me with his hands behind his back, "I will contact you when I get back."

"Master Kui, you are so sure that you are in Guiyang, how can you make Dongyuan live in Heizhou?"

He raised his eyebrows, "I can't?"

I avoided his gaze, lowered my head and stroked the body of the piano, smiled, and said nothing.If he can continue to help me, I am naturally willing to help him for mutual benefit.

None of us spoke anymore, only the rustling of the leaves in the cold wind was left in our ears.
