Miss Mu and the Canary

After explaining clearly to the lost man that the street he was walking on was called Huai'an Road, Mu Xing's heart, which was blushed by the lady in red, calmed down a bit when he saw him suddenly realize.

She always liked to make friends, and when she saw the man in a neat suit and a good-looking man, she said, "Listening to Mr.'s accent, it doesn't seem like he's from Wenjiang?"

The lost man nodded and said, "I'm originally from Nanjing. I just moved to Wenjiang with my father a few days ago. Seeing the weather was fine today, I wanted to go for a walk by myself. I didn't want Wenjiang city to be so big that I got lost after wandering around. "

"So that's how it is." Mu Xing exchanged names with the man, and she knew that the man's surname was Tang, with a single name of Yu, but she kept an eye out and didn't mention that she was from the Mu family.

She also said: "Mr. Tang is new here, and he is not familiar with the place, so it is really inconvenient. I am not talented, but I have lived in Wenjiang for more than ten years, and I am very proficient in interesting places. In the future, if Mr. Tang needs , just ask me.”

Tang Yu hurriedly declined politely, and the two chattered a lot of polite words, Tang Yu said again: "Actually, I wanted to go to Yuejiangli today. I heard from my friends that Yuejiangli is heading south on Huai'an Road, but I couldn't find it anyway."

Moon River?

What is this place!

Mu Xing had been hanging out with his brothers since he was a child, going up to various mansions and down to the racetracks in the suburbs. He really knew the entertainment venues in Wenjiang City very well. Where is Jiangli located.

If it was a normal day, she could honestly say that she didn't know, but she just said a big word, and now facing Mr. Tang's smiling face, she really has no face to say that she doesn't know.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to slide into the abyss of embarrassment, she suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "I have been studying in the United States for a few years, but I have forgotten the map in my mind, and I have been thinking about it for a long time. I am familiar with this place, but although It’s nearby, but you still need to use your legs, why don’t you call two rickshaws and I’ll take Mr. Tang there?”

Mr. Tang's gaze flickered across her face, and he said with a smile, "Yes, thank you, Mr. Mu."

Mu Xing heaved a sigh of relief, and walked to the street with Mr. Tang, and greeted two rickshaws: "Go to Yuejiangli."

There were two rickshaw drivers resting under the wall. They were taken aback when they heard the sound, but they didn't respond. Instead, they looked at each other, revealing a strange smile of comprehension.

When Mu Xing saw it, she suddenly felt a bad premonition. She turned her head to look at Mr. Tang Yu, and saw that his expression was normal, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and get into the car in order not to show timidity.

Walking bumpily all the way, Mu Xing was chatting with Mr. Tang Yu while secretly jotting down the route in Yuejiang this year.

Gradually, she suddenly discovered that at some point, the number of women on both sides of the street suddenly increased.

Rows of buildings spread out densely, row upon row, with bright red silk hanging on the gray cement, probably for celebration, but it looks like a dying woman wearing blood-colored lipstick, which is rather terrifying.

First pass a row of floors that seem to be in the Northland style, and then change to a Jiangnan-style loft.The women standing in front of the building also gradually changed, from the same color of northern rouge to southern gold powder.

The sound of the pipa, the singing of Yingying and swallows, the air is filled with a smell of low-quality cosmetics, as if the day has been dyed with an ambiguous color.

Mu Xing was at a loss looking at the women who were posing at the front desk upstairs, when suddenly he heard the rickshaw driver ask loudly in front: "Young Master, are you going to be the third or the third?"

It was like a slap in the face, and Mu Xing suddenly realized that they had arrived at the fireworks field!

Wei Dao said that the two rickshaw drivers looked ambiguous just now, presumably they must have regarded her and Mr. Tang as hungry ghosts, hooligans who prostitute themselves day by day!

Mu Xing was so ashamed that he almost jumped out of the car. Tang Yu, who was diagonally in front of her, turned his head to look at her suddenly flushed face. He laughed in his heart, and said, "This is my first time here. I don't know what to do. Since Mr. Mu If you are humble, then I, the guest, will decide on my own, and go for the most expensive and best."

"Yes, yes..." Mu Xing didn't know the difference between "Chang San" and "Second Three", so he could only agree casually. Even if Tang Yu said that he would turn back at this time, she had no objection.

Tang Yu said again: "Mr. Mu is really a good talker."

Mu Xing smiled perfunctorily.

This Mr. Tang Yu, Mr. Tang, just arrived here, and he just wanted to visit the hall before he knew the way, which is really weird.

Just wait and get out quickly.

While talking, the rickshaw turned a corner, and Mu Xing suddenly felt refreshed, even his nose was redeemed.

There is no babbling vocal music, nor can I smell the smoky fragrance of inferior cosmetics.The black lacquered gates do not interfere with each other, only an octagonal glass lamp is hung at the corner of the eaves, exuding a quiet light.

After arriving at the entrance of the alley, the car stopped, Tang Yu got out of the car first, Mu Xing was sitting in the car thinking about how to find an excuse to leave, but suddenly he changed his mind and didn't want to leave.

Isn't that beauty in red the person in the hall?It's just right, isn't it time to go find her now?

Thinking of this, Mu Xing made up his mind not to leave.

After getting out of the car and paying, the two stood at the entrance of the alley, but neither of them moved first.

Although Mu Xing wanted to go for a walk, he didn't know what to do. He was afraid that he would show timidity in his actions and make Mr. Tang Yu a joke, so he refused to move first.

Mr. Tang Yu just saw that she was a bit cautious, so he was not in a hurry to leave first. He smiled and said, "To be honest, this is the first time I have returned to this place of fireworks. Mr. Mu is willing to accompany me, and I am very grateful."

Hearing that it was the first time Mu Xing had come here, she relaxed a lot. She thought for a while and said, "However, since Mr. Tang has just arrived in Wenjiang, why did you go out for fun alone?" She even went to the hall directly. up.

After talking, the two walked into the alley.

"Traveling alone naturally has its benefits." Tang Yu said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Mo Xiao, I think that visiting the place of fireworks is actually a very cheap way to quickly understand a city."

Hearing this, Mu Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you say that?"

Mr. Tang talked about his observations in another flower street, such as inferring the identity and background of the contractor behind the brothel from the tea.

His conversation is elegant, interesting and insightful, which changed Mu Xing's impression of him a lot.

While talking, the two of them walked to a black-painted gate, and the octagonal glass lamp was dimly lit, illuminating the plaque on the gate.

"Is there a Phoenix book house?" Tang Yu looked up at the plaque and asked Mu Xing: "Mr. Mu, would you like to see what kind of 'phoenix' this book house will have?"

Just as Mu Xing was about to agree, it suddenly occurred to her that she didn't know which book apartment the beauty in red was in, nor her name.There are probably a dozen or so book apartments in this alley. If you want to find a beautiful woman, isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack?

Thinking of this, she was immediately discouraged. Seeing that Mr. Tang was still waiting for her to make a decision, she could only say, "Let's just take this room."

Anyway, I don't know where the beauty is, so I can only try my luck.

The two walked into Youfeng Book Apartment, and just turned around a screen door, a man in soap clothes who was waiting at the door yelled "Waiting—" in a stern voice, which made both of them tremble.

After shouting, the man said to the two of them with a smile all over his face: "The two masters are strangers, do you know each other? If not, please come here, wait a moment."

Mu Xing and the two followed him and sat in the main room, while a gorgeously dressed woman hurriedly poured tea for them.

Tang Yu suddenly whispered to Mu Xing: "These people and even the servants are all northerners. It is not easy to open a study apartment in the south with all the northerners. Just now we came all the way, and those low-level halls also Mostly the north is better than the south.”

Mu Xing asked puzzled, "Why?"

Tang Yu looked at her: "Do you know that the former chief inspector of the French Concession is a northerner?"

"Ah?" Mu Xing was stunned, and searched the strange title of "former inspector general of the French Concession" in his head, and then suddenly realized what official position this former inspector general currently holds.

Tang Yu said again: "Another adult who seems to be more popular in Wenjiang is a southerner. A few days ago, I visited casinos, bathhouses, and various restaurants, all of which were overwhelmed by the north. South. Think about the situation in Shanghai and Beiping, don’t you think it’s strange?”

She frowned: "You mean these industries...?"

While the two were talking, there was a rustling of clothes upstairs, and a few girls came down and lined up in front of the two.

Mu Xing hurriedly stopped talking, wanting to see if there were any beauties.

But when she took a closer look, the youngest of the girls was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest was only seventeen or eighteen. They wore shiny braids, and their flat bodies were wrapped in cheongsams, without any undulating curves.Her immature face was covered with layers of makeup, her eyes stared straight at the two of them, everything was written in her eyes.

She was immediately disappointed.

The middle-aged woman introduced: "My lords, these are our junior gentlemen, and the elder gentlemen already have guests, please don't be offended."

Mu Xing was not very interested, so he just said: "Mr. Tang is a guest, you choose." She really wanted to go to the next one to look for it, but if Mr. Tang didn't leave, she couldn't bring it up.

Mr. Tang ordered a girl who seemed to be the oldest, and the man in soap clothes waiting at the door called her "Jinfeng".

Looking at the girl's eyes, Tang Yu smiled at Mu Xing, "What a golden phoenix."

After choosing Jinfeng, the two let them into Jinfeng's room, took off their suit jackets, wiped them with a towel, and served a fruit plate of tea before sitting down.

This Jinfeng might not have many guests, so he didn't come here, so he just sat and peeled melon seeds for the two of them, while Mu Xing and Tang Yu came here for the first time, so they didn't know what to say, so the three of them sat silently in front of each other. Standing, silent.

This is not like visiting the hall, but rather coming facing the wall... Mu Xing thought silently, glanced at Tang Yu who was sitting next to him drinking tea, and had to think of a topic: "It's the first time for me and this young master to come here, but Curious, why did your aunt call you 'Little Mister'?"

Only then did Jinfeng explain in a low voice, that in Changsantangzi, in order to be arty and raise their status, the girls had to learn some elegant skills, so they called themselves "Mr."And the girl who is not broken is called Mr. Xiao, and the girl who is broken and has customers she knows is called Mr. Big.

Mu Xing took advantage of the situation and asked, "Then what are you good at?"

"Ah." Jin Feng blinked, and suddenly blushed, "I'm stupid, I can't learn anything well."

Mu Xing almost choked on the tea

...This girl is really sincere, how can most people say it tactfully.

Probably seeing Mu Xing's expression of having nothing to say, Jin Feng hurriedly said, "But I can tell stories! Let me tell the two masters."

Only then did Tang Yu speak slowly: "Storytelling is also good, the only thing is, we all know some of the stories in the book, why don't you tell some things that happened in your hall and listen to them."
