sinking into sand

Jinzhan Pavilion came to hold a banquet, after all, it was a banquet. Considering the long distance to the north, the group didn't have any carriage and horse ceremony.Jinzhan Pavilion also specially prepared a car to send it over.He also understood that people in the northern border may not trust them, so he only left a few grooms to guide the road and drive the carriages, and did not send more people to accompany them.

Yu Sha watched Guan Lan and his party get into the car at the entrance of the inn.A group of people walked outside along the alley of Pingchunfang in a mighty way, causing everyone to poke their heads and take a look.

They walked a little far, and my mother also came to the door to have a look.He said, "It's come so fast, I don't know what's going on in Jinzhan Pavilion."

"Follow him, it's okay." Yu Sha replied: "If you are so public, you won't have to guard against some troubles. Yu Wangling won't be so stupid as to let Guan Lan Ming die in the Lijiang River."

My mother glanced at him, and she still hadn't forgotten the many quarrels she had with Yu Sha before: "How can he investigate things in the dark when he's in the open?"

"Naturally, people from the dark place are required." Yu Sha turned back and turned to look at My Niang, "Please take care of My Niang, I'm going out."

Yao Niang raised an eyebrow: "Do you think that you are not a person in the open now?"

"Of course it's not me." Yu Sha replied without further explanation, and left straight away.

My mother looked at him, lowered her eyes, then raised her head but looked outside the door, wondering what she was thinking.

This small Pingchunfang, a place where flowers sleep and willows sleep, and there are people in the dark, who can it be.

Yu Sha went back to the house and changed into a bunt, dressed as a porter, and walked from the back door of the inn to the main street along the water alley.

The streets were brightly lit, it was already late, and it was time for various brothels and restaurants to open their doors to attract customers.

Yu Sha rounded the street corner, facing a large curtain of lights made up of a series of lanterns.

The headlights are surrounded by small lamps of various colors in different shapes, with portraits of beauties and various flowers and birds painted on them.They are all extremely small paintings, which test the craftsmanship of the craftsman.The main lamp can stand on the ground, and there are not only paintings on it, but also various poems, all written by romantic talents who come and go to this place of fireworks.

The lanterns were placed on the car, surrounded by a group of people in dresses, playing and singing, it was very lively.

This was originally a ostentation once a month in Pingchunfang, when the oiran was selected. A lantern was to be made, with poems of various celebrities attached.Paraded through the streets with great momentum, and was finally sent to the brothel where the oiran was.

Today is actually not a day to put off lanterns, I think it is to entertain the people from the northern border.

The carriage of Guan Lan and his party moved forward slowly following the ceremony of driving the lights.The curtains on both sides of the carriage were pulled up, the sound of playing music and whistles could be heard endlessly in the street, and colorful lanterns and silks were hung up, making it lively as if it was a festival.

Ye Wanwan looked at the scene of the street curiously, Que Huo was too out of the way after all, without the gaudy looks of the Jiangnan water town, it looked very novel.

"Why don't you see many pedestrians?" She asked, "No one came out to see the excitement."

Guan Lan sat on the side with her eyes closed and meditated, and did not answer when she heard the words.

Ye Wanwan was used to his appearance, so she didn't care, and continued on her own, "I guess it was specially set up to entertain us? Pavilion Master Yu's funeral is coming soon, so it's not too good."

This car is for seeing the sights and wandering the streets, and it is not soundproof. The groom who accompanied the guide heard the words, and immediately explained the confusion: "The princess doesn't know, our Pavilion Master Yu is not someone else, he loves these things the most. I don’t know how much property I sent to Pingchunfang before. Even if I go here, Jinzhan Pavilion also released a word, saying that at this funeral, we will also invite many Huakui ladies to play music and fight, and give him a good ride!"

Ye Wanwan clicked her tongue when she heard that, "It's so, is he so lustful?"

The groom just laughed: "This...this oiran lady is unparalleled in beauty and art, who wouldn't like it?"

The two of them chatted lively, and the groom remembered that Ye Wanwan was the princess after all, so he didn't dare to say too much jokes.But Guan Lan listened and asked.

"How many oiran ladies are there in Pingchunfang?"

Seeing that he was silent all the way, the groom suddenly became interested in talking, he smiled, thinking that he was also interested in these romantic affairs, and said flatteringly: "This is Chunfang, Yueyue chooses the oiran, and Yueyue sends the lantern , but there are only a few people who come to the fore to choose. Either this one or that one. It's not Hua Chuibi and Hua Gongzi from Chunxi Pavilion. It's Miss Chu from Mianxiaolou. Besides, this year There are also some newly listed ladies..."

As soon as the groom said this, Guan Lan never finished talking. Guan Lan had listened carefully before, but then he couldn't remember the names of the people he said, and let it go for a while.The groom heard that there was no movement, but he was a little uneasy, thinking that the prostitutes who were able to get a glimpse of the appearance of these market people would not be able to catch the eyes of the nobles, so he opened his mouth again.

"...Of course, these are just low-level people. Jinzhan Pavilion is hosting a banquet at Peony Academy tonight. Maybe you can meet Miss Lu. She is really a top-notch stunner. Don't talk about the Lijiang River, you can look around the world. There's nothing like her."

Ye Wanwan had listened to him before, so she should have fun listening to it.As soon as these words were transferred to Peony Academy, the tone was still somewhat obscene, and suddenly he became angry.

She had heard many rumors about Peony Academy along the way, and she admired its demeanor of educating women, but also lamented its ending. Coupled with some origins, she naturally couldn't hear these, and said in a choked voice: "Peony Academy can't be compared with Comparing with other places, when raising girls, all famous families were invited. People raised in this way can be compared with the children of famous families. Is it also possible for people like you to talk more?"

The groom didn't expect that the previous one didn't please him and provoked Ye Wanwan again, so he hurriedly confessed: "The princess forgives the crime, the princess forgives the crime. Now, the little old man is also worried about the boredom on the road, so he just made some jokes." To pass the time for the nobles. But there is absolutely no intention to encourage the prince to go to prostitutes."

"You—!" Ye Wanwan saw that the groom's meaning became more and more distorted, and she wished she could go up and slap him.

At this moment, Guan Lan seemed to have not seen her get angry, and continued to ask: "Miss Lu?"

Ye Wanwan robbed the coachman, he hesitated to answer.Thinking that after all, this is the prince, then the princess is the princess, and the princess will be the concubine later, so she picked up some words and replied, "Yes, it's called Lu Hua, and she was originally the chief of the painting academy of Peony Academy."

"Painting Academy?"

Before the first doubt was solved, the latter question came.

Ye Wanwan was surprised when she heard the words: "You have been in Lijiang for so long... no, you have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for quite a while, why don't you know about this?"

Guan Lan looked at Ye Wanwan, also very surprised, wondering if Ye Wanwan had also received the secret letter sent to the northern border that day.

Ye Wanwan didn't know what Guan Lan was thinking, but felt choked, and replied, "I told you before that if a poor girl in the world wants to study and learn art but is unwilling to become a lowly citizen, she could only go to Peony Academy before." Such a place. There are four teaching institutes for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and each has a chief. They are all the people with the top skills in the institute.

The more she talked about the splendor of Peony Academy, the angrier she became, and she began to curse: "So that Yu Shaomiao is really a scumbag! He is the one who degraded the girls in this academy! Don't keep thinking about how much Yu Shaomiao treated you when she was a child." It’s so good, it’s not a good person to do such a thing!”

Guan Lan hadn't said anything yet, but when the groom heard this, he couldn't help saying a few more words: "That's not what they said, girls from rich and noble families study for the sake of getting married. In the Qinlou Chuguan, poor families still have someone to teach girls how to read and learn art. Isn’t it justified to be a lowly citizen.”

After hearing this, Ye Wanwan became ruthless without saying a word, pulled out the whip around her waist and pulled the groom out of the carriage.

Fortunately, the driver himself was walking slowly, and the man was covered in dust, but he wasn't hurt too badly.

Ye Wanwan still felt that it wasn't enough, and wanted to rush out to beat him again, but was stopped by Guan Lan.

"This is the Lijiang River." Guan Lan said lightly.

Ye Wanwan: "So what? I can't even teach a broken mouth now?"

Guan Lan looked at her and knew that if she was left alone, today's matter would definitely become a big mess.

So he said: "If they hold a banquet at Peony Academy tonight, maybe they can still meet that Miss Lu. Do you have to delay here?"

If you really beat someone to death on this street, then you will definitely not be able to go to Peony Academy.

Ye Wanwan's face changed again and again, but she finally withdrew the whip and sat down angrily again.

She was angry for a long while before she came back to her senses, turned her head and asked, "Why did I say Yu Shaomiao you were so calm, and you were also in the inn before. If it were different, you would have lost your temper a long time ago. What's wrong, you finally saw his true face clearly?"

When Guan Lan was asked this, the first thing that came to mind was Yu Sha's face.

In fact, he didn't figure out anything, and he didn't know the relationship between Yu Sha and Yu Shaomiao.

But he thought about the scene where Yu Sha wrote him the ink book stroke by stroke last night under the lamp, and he said naturally: "It sounds too fake, I must have made a mistake."

Ye Wanwan: "..."

Ye Wanwan: "...you just protect him, Duanxiu."
