A cold dream is not a dream come true

Jinhe Town is located in the south of Luoyang City. It is a small town with a dense population. The town's moat was named Jinhe, so the town got its name.The town has convenient transportation and extends in all directions, so officials, businessmen, and scholars come and go in an endless stream.This town is famous for its brothels, and there are hundreds of brothels and brothels in the town. It is a town suitable for fun.

The carriage drove into Jinhe Town, and by the rising sun, I saw the so-called moat—Jinhe.Jinhe, as the name suggests, is a golden river.Under the sunlight of the sunrise, the river water reflects the golden light, which makes people ecstasy.

The people in the town have already started their day's work, and there are pedestrians coming and going everywhere.Occasionally, I would see a beautifully dressed woman, I don't know if it is a brothel woman or a concubine from some family.

We got out of the carriage, gave the groom some silver, and walked aimlessly on the streets of Jinhe Town.

"There are no pursuers behind, right?" I looked back vigilantly, lest I be followed by the empress's people.

Prince Xi also looked back, "No, I have observed it."

Hearing this, I felt much relieved, nodded, and saw that there was an inn, so I grabbed Prince Xi's sleeve: "Luo Bing, let's find an inn to stay."

Unexpectedly, Prince Xi frowned and shook his head: "We don't have much to worry about, let alone the inn, I'm afraid even eating will become a problem."

"What?" I widened my eyes, "Then what shall we do?"

"do not know."

I stomped my feet anxiously, when I saw a beggar beside the road begging, I was a little curious, so I took a step to the side.

Prince Xi stopped me with staring eyes, I smiled and shook my head, took out a penny I had on me, and threw it into the beggar's bowl: "Old man, Jinhe Town is so prosperous, why are you begging along the street here? "

The beggar raised his head and looked at me with cloudy eyes: "This old man is a blacksmith in a blacksmith shop, but...cough, cough, cough..."

The beggar had only spoken half of what he had said before he was too excited to continue.Seeing this scene, Prince Xi immediately took a step forward: "What is the old man's concern, this king will definitely...no...I will definitely help."

I glanced at Prince Xi and thought, we don't have any money now, and still want to help?

The beggar stood up, shook his head and said, "In this case, can the two girls go to the old man's house and have a sit down?"

This beggar has a kind face, and he doesn't look like a stealthy person, even if he has malicious intentions, the two of us have no money, so there is no harm in going to our house as a guest.Prince Xi didn't object either, so we followed the beggar to his home.

The beggar's surname is Zhao, and he is a blacksmith in Zhao's iron shop. This year, he is over sixty. When Prince Xi and I stepped into Zhao's iron shop, we immediately saw the white-haired old lady Zhao.

"Old man, why are you back? Have you borrowed the money?" The old woman stood up from the bed and walked slowly to meet old man Zhao. Seeing the two of us, she asked in surprise, "Who are these two?"

I looked up and looked around, and found that there was nothing but a bed covered with straw.

Prince Xi stepped forward and said: "Madam, Ben... I met this old man on the road. Although we have no money, I don't know if there is anything else we can do to help."

When the old woman heard this, she shook her head and said, "Apart from money, we don't have anything else we need to help. Our daughter was arrested and sent to a brothel, we need 500 taels to redeem her..."

"500 taels!?"

"The brothel!?"

Prince Xi and I shouted at the same time, but I care more about the silver, and she cares more about the location.She turned her head and looked at me silently, and I stuck out my tongue at her.I'm not a money fan!

"The old man and I are both in our 60s, and we have never had any offspring. We finally adopted a daughter...but we were caught in a brothel..." the old woman cried.

"Adopted daughter?" I asked.

"Yeah..." Mr. Zhao said, "A few months ago, we met a little girl who was begging. She was thirteen or fourteen years old. She was very pitiful. Our old couple had no children, so we adopted her."

Thirteen or fourteen?I roughly thought about it, this age is about the same as my younger sister, begging is quite pitiful.

"Xiang'er's life is so miserable..." The old woman wiped her tears aside, "She fled all the way from Mengzhou, but she couldn't find peace when she arrived in Jinhe Town..."

"What? She's from Mengzhou?" I grabbed the old woman's shoulders and asked with a frown.

The old woman looked at me and explained slowly: "Yes, Xiang'er said that she is from Mengzhou. She said that last August, the war in her hometown destroyed her pharmacy, and she fled all the way to Jinhe."

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl whose hometown is in Mengzhou and who owns a pharmacy?This series of information became coherent, and I suddenly felt that my thinking could not keep up.But this girl's name is Xiang'er. Among the people I know, there is no one with this name.

Prince Xi has been watching me from the side, without speaking.I looked back at her, and her eyes indicated that I could continue to ask.

"Madam, what does your daughter Xiang'er look like?"

The old woman recalled carefully: "The eyes are round, the mouth is small...the personality is a bit naughty..."

Dimple? !

I exclaimed in my heart.Doesn't the old woman's description refer to dimple?

"Luo Bing," I turned to look at Prince Xi, "let's rescue her."

"Acquaintance?" Prince Xi asked.

"Maybe it's a relative."

Prince Xi nodded and walked to the old lady, "Old lady, don't worry, tell me what happened? How should we help you?"

Old man Zhao came over and said: "A few days ago, Xiang'er went to the street to buy vegetables, but she didn't return after dark. I heard that the neighbor was taken away by a man in black. After many twists and turns, we found the man in black, and the man said that Xiang'er It has been sent to Hongxiangyuan, and he is also doing things for others, if you want to redeem Xiang'er, the ransom is 500 taels!"

"Hongxiangyuan?" I asked.

"The two girls are foreigners, right?" Old man Zhao looked at us and said, "Jinhe Town has always been named after brothels, and this Hongxiang Garden was built only recently. Since there are still few women in the garden, it is now Waiting for an opportunity to catch someone..."

"Let's go to Hongxiangyuan to rescue Xiang'er." I looked back at Prince Xi.

Prince Xi nodded without speaking.

The old woman stopped immediately: "Both of you are girls, how can this work?"

"It's okay, old lady." Prince Xi said to the old woman, and then she asked old man Zhao: "Does the old man have men's clothes, lend us two sets."

Old man Zhao found out two pieces of men's clothing, and Prince Xi and we each changed into them.After lunch, take a short rest.As soon as it got dark, we started to move.

Hongxiangyuan is only a few streets away from Zhaojia Tiepu.The two of us dressed as men and walked side by side on the street decorated with lights.

"How?" I fiddled with the scarf on my head, "Do I look like a man?"

"Like." Prince Xi said expressionlessly.

"Isn't he very handsome and unrestrained?"

"Yes."

"I knew it!" I happily hugged Prince Xi's neck, but due to my height, I had some difficulty.

"When we arrive at Hongxiangyuan in a while, everything must be arranged by me, and you must not act without authorization." Prince Xi shook my arm.

"Obey!" I said poorly.

After walking a few more steps, the girls' laughter could be heard from a distance.When I looked up, I saw a striking sign hanging on a three-story building not far away: Hongxiangyuan.

The small building of Hongxiangyuan is not big, but the decoration is quite gorgeous, giving people a feeling of luxury.When I got closer, I saw a few girls welcoming guests standing at the door, each with beautiful flowers and branches, and greeted us with smiles on their faces.

Prince Xi was in front, raised his head, flicked his sleeves, and walked in swaggeringly.I followed her and followed her.

This is the first time I have come to a place like brothel.

Entering the house, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge red stage. On the stage, a woman wearing a veil dances lightly, and a woman beside her is playing the piano while singing, and the men in the audience applaud again and again.Looking around, the interior of the house is mainly red and pink, and the decoration is gorgeous and attractive.There are many guests in the house, ranging from high officials and nobles to scholars and ordinary people, and every man holds a beautiful woman in his arms.

At this time, the old bustard of the brothel saw us coming in and shouted from a distance: "My lord, please come inside!"

Prince Xi randomly found a table and sat down, and I also sat beside him.The bustard came to us waving a handkerchief.

The old bustard put her hand on Prince Xi's shoulder, "Oh, you two are the first to come to our Hongxiang Garden, right? What's your name?"

"I am Su Qi." Prince Xi said.

Su Qi?What's the name?

"Under Meng San."

"Hey, Su Qiye, Meng Sanye, what kind of girl do you like? We have all kinds of girls here, Chunlan, Yulan, Hualan, Huilan, come and pick up the guests!"

"Yes!" I saw four women in □clothes rushing forward with smiles, squeezed between me and Prince Xi, one of them hooked Prince Xi's neck, and the other collapsed Prince Xi's waist.

hateful!Don't touch Prince Xi with your dirty hands!

I was staring at the two women aggressively, but a girl next to me suddenly threw herself into my arms, and asked coquettishly, "Is this the first time Mr. Meng has come here?"

"Yes, yes, it's my first time here." I was so nervous that I didn't dare to meet her eyes.

Another girl also pestered her, "Where did Mr. Meng get rich?"

"Ah... I'm in the Chinese medicine business." I said in a cold sweat.

"Mr. Meng turned out to be a businessman!"

"Ah, ah, yes..." I echoed, and looked to Prince Xi for help, but I didn't know that this bastard left the seat hugging left and right.

The girl saw my half-heartedness, and asked a little unhappy, "Master Meng doesn't like Huilan?"

God, what's going on?How could I like such a woman?

"Master Meng..." Another girl slowly put her hand between my legs while talking.

Oops, I'm a woman, there's nothing between my legs!What if this is discovered! ?
