The Peach Blossom in March

The market in Qiu County is very lively. It's the end of Shenshi, and it's about to be Youshi. There are still so many people on the street, the traffic is busy, and even the stalls are full of items.

Looking at it at first glance is really tricky.

"Sister Taozi, there are sugar figurines ahead, let's go and see the sugar figurines." After all, Zhu Ba was a child, and he dragged Qi Sutao around in the crowd, and Xiaomei and the guards who were following them were almost squeezed away by the flow of people.

Making sugar figures is really an art. In modern times, this art has been handed down, and it is very popular among children.The booth of the sugar maker was full of children, and a big girl like Qi Sutao was very conspicuous. The old man of the sugar maker saw that Qi Sutao was staring at the sugar man with treacherous eyes, so he gave a fairy sugar figure to Qi Sutao. "This fairy doll looks like a girl when she smiles. The old man felt that he had a destiny with the girl, so he gave it to her."

Surprised to take the sugar figurine, Qi Sutao was a little happy when she saw the fairy doll's eyebrows, "Thank you, sir."

The old man waved his hands, smiling and making other sugar figurines.

Zhu Ba also had a sugar figurine in his hand, which he bought himself. Looking enviously at the sugar figurine in Qi Sutao's hand, the two left the sugar figurine's stall and continued walking to Gubao Pavilion ahead.Gubao Pavilion is a place where antiques and jade are sold, and Zhu Ba happens to go there to see if there is anything good for his parents.

In a few months, his father Zhu Wanwan and his mother Li Yanfu will celebrate their birthdays, they have been away for so long, if they go back empty-handed on their birthdays, it would be really unseemly.After entering the Gubao Pavilion, Qi Sutao was afraid that the sugar fairy doll in her hand would break, so she asked Xiaomei to wrap it in oiled paper so that she could hold it in her hand, and then she and Zhu Ba watched the antiques and jades while listening to other people's nonsense .

No, Zhu Ba's ear tip heard something he was interested in.

There is a famous flower street in the West Street of Qiuxian County, named Tianxiang Street, which can be said to be a hell for women and a paradise for men.Zhu Ba had heard about this Tianxiang Street a long time ago. In Gubao Pavilion, he picked things up like a little adult, and at the same time quietly asked about Tianxiang Street.

The shopkeeper saw that Zhu Ba was dressed richly, so he guessed that the young master from a wealthy family came out to play out of curiosity.Even if Zhu Ba was a child, the shopkeeper felt that nothing was wrong. It is not a bad thing for a child to be very curious. He smiled and told Zhu Ba everything he knew about Tianxiang Street.

Zhu Ba was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's approach, and directly threw a 500 tael bank note to the shopkeeper as information fee.

Folding the banknotes and stuffing them in his sleeves, the shopkeeper was overjoyed, and his attitude towards Zhu Ba became even more dog-legged.

After inquiring about this, Zhu Ba trotted to Qi Sutao's side and tugged at her sleeve.Qi Sutao lowered her head and saw Zhu Ba tugging on her sleeve, and laughed: "What's the matter, Xiao Ba?"

Zhu Ba beckoned, signaling Qi Sutao to squat down.

Qi Sutao understood, knelt down and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Ba leaned over and whispered something in her ear, which aroused Xiaomei's curiosity to death, but how could she know what the two masters were whispering.Even if there are thousands of brushes in my heart, I can only hold back, this is the duty of a good servant girl.

After hearing Zhu Ba's words, Qi Sutao immediately became interested in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion on Tianxiang Street.Not to mention, this place is estimated to be of interest to all the girls who have traveled to ancient times.His eyes lit up suddenly, Qi Sutao, who had only seen the so-called Qinlou Chuguan in TV dramas before, was particularly enthusiastic. "Yeah."

Zhu Ba: "..." Huh?Why is Sister Taozi more energetic than him?Something seems wrong!

"Do you think Xiaomei will agree?" Zhu Ba thought of a question. If the two of them leave Xiaomei and the guards and go to Tianxiang Street alone, they will inevitably be punished by Zhu Wu when they go back. Especially him, he will definitely be asked by Zhu Wu responsible.

"Then take Xiaomei to go with me!" Qi Sutao read a small book in her first year of high school, which was about several famous prostitutes in ancient times.There are Su Xiaoxiao, Li Shishi, Liu Rushi, Du Shiniang, and Qinhuai Bayan from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Although these women have not fallen into the world, they are talented and beautiful, and they will be praised for thousands of years.But what is the truth, who knows?

Zhu Ba nodded: "Good idea." Then, the two looked at Xiaomei together.

Suddenly being stared at by the two masters, Xiaomei's back felt a chill suddenly, she had a bad premonition.However, this premonition was really bad, because the two masters dragged her to the garment shop next door and bought two sets of men's clothes, one for her to change into, and the other for Qi Sutao to change into.

"Brothel—?!" Xiaomei, who had already changed into her clothes, was loosening Qi Sutao's hair and re-tying it into a simple bun, exclaimed in a high voice. She didn't expect Zhu Ba and Qi Sutao to be so bold as to go to Tianxiang Street .

Qi Sutao hastily turned her head and covered Xiaomei's mouth with one hand, and made a silent gesture: "Shh, keep your voice down, why are you shouting so loudly? Aren't you afraid others will hear you?"

Xiaomei pursed her lips aggrievedly: "Miss Qi, it's fine for Xiao Baye to mess around, why are you messing around with me? Can you go to this kind of place? What if something happens with a mixed bag of fish and dragons? What's more, you are a girl, girl How can the family go to that kind of skinning place?"

Qi Sutao sat on the chair, twisted her body and sat upright again, because the stool was relatively high, her feet could not be stepped on the ground, and could only be half suspended, so she shook her feet in boredom, and said: "Xiaomei, how can this be counted?" What about messing around? This is a good thing for Xiaoba, sex | education can’t be left behind, besides, we are not going to do murder and arson. You, I’m too worried, we just go and have a look, take a look and leave .”

Protestant fish?What it is?

Xiaomei didn't understand what she said, and just about to say something, Zhu Ba spoke. "I said you girl is too clueless. If something really happened, wouldn't there be you and those two guards? Could it be that the three of you can't protect the two of us? No matter how bad it is, I am not a vegetarian!"

Zhu Ba said so, and Xiaomei couldn't say anything. As a servant girl, it's natural for the master to say what he said. Like her, she has repeatedly displeased the master, and if she advises another master with a bad temper, she would have sold her out long ago. .But Xiaomei is also a clever girl. She knows that her master has a good temper, so she has the courage to say these words.

"Okay, okay, in short, the matter of the two of you going to Tianxiang Street must not be let to the fifth master. If he finds out, those two outside me and I will definitely be punished." Xiaomei let go of her mouth and stopped nagging. , Zhu Ba and Qi Sutao were overjoyed, they thought it would take a lot of talking to get Xiaomei to agree.

With Xiaomei's order, Qi Sutao immediately changed from a young lady to a handsome young man.He raised his hand and touched his chest. Fortunately, it's the season just after winter. The clothes are very thick, and I don't know how many layers are stuffed inside. In addition, the men's clothes don't show your figure very well, so it looks really flat.

"Miss Qi." Reaching out to pat Qi Sutao's hand, Xiaomei said seriously: "You are a woman, how can you do such an indecent gesture? Besides, Little Baye is still here!"

Qi Sutao: "..." Isn't it indecent to touch yourself?

Zhu Ba covered his eyes: "..." He didn't see anything.

After tidying up and paying the money, Qi Sutao, Zhu Ba and Xiaomei left the garment shop. The guards outside the garment shop saw that Qi Sutao and Xiaomei, who were dressed as girls one moment, turned into handsome young men the next moment. A little confused.

But what the master wants to do, they can only accompany them as servants.

Zhu Ba and Qi Sutao didn't turn to Tianxiang Street right away, it was still a little early before the opening of Tianxiang Street, and Tianxiang Street would only be lively at Xu time.After wandering outside for a long time, they ate something and stuffed their stomachs before they took people to Tianxiang Street.

As soon as they turned into Tianxiang Street, the expressions of the two guards became numb.

It's fine for Zhu Ba to go to Tianxiang Street, why is Miss Qi also messing around with her?Where does a girl go to Tianxiang Street? !

There are many Qinlou Chu Pavilions on Tianxiang Street, the most famous of which is Meiyinglou. The girls in Meiyinglou are truly talented and beautiful, and they are among the best in other restaurants.The head of Meiyinglou is very mysterious. After so many years in Qiu County, no one knows who the boss behind the scenes is, but no one dares to trouble Meiyinglou.More than ten years ago, a domineering man from a rich family in Qiu County went to find trouble in Meiyinglou, and even robbed Meiyinglou's most popular oiran girl at that time. Unexpectedly, the next day, all [-] members of the family were wiped out. , all the heads are hung on the gate of their house, that is called a pervert.At the beginning, no one knew that this matter had anything to do with Meiyinglou. It was only later that some people discovered that Meiyinglou was not easy to mess with. Anyone who has provoked Meiyinglou will basically end well. As time goes by, this Qiu County People who come here admiringly and outside are all well-behaved when they arrive at Meiying Building.

Entering the Meiying Building, the inside is lively and well-regulated, everyone is sitting at the table, it seems that there is some grand event.The procuress of Meiyinglou is surnamed Qiu, she is about thirty years old, and she has a good demeanor. When she was young, she was the famous head of Meiyinglou. As the fourteenth mother, everyone in Tianxiang Street respects her as Qiu's mother.Mother Qiu waved the golden embroidered round fan in her hand, and at a glance she saw that Qi Sutao and Zhu Ba came from wealthy families.

Greeting them enthusiastically, Qiu's mother smiled and said: "The two young masters look strange, don't they come here because they are famous?" As she spoke, she secretly looked at Qi Sutao and Zhu Ba.

When she first saw Qi Sutao, Qiu's mother was still wondering if she was a woman, and she really looked a little strange, but now that she didn't even have pierced ears, she felt relieved and became very enthusiastic about her and Zhu Ba.

So, the ancients distinguish between men and women, sometimes it is very wrong, but it is true in the end, after all, most men in ancient times really did not have their ears pierced.

This day, Xianglou has a feast tonight, and it is said that the top girl Liu Susu will betray her first night tonight, and choose a guest who can be in the curtain for herself, that's why so many people come.The people who came here were all the children of the high school, the sons of the scholarly family, and the guests of the merchants, even people from the Jianghu.

A golden bean from Qi Sutao made Qiu's mother lead them directly to the private room on the second floor. They followed Qiu's mother and servants up to the second floor, and they didn't know that someone had already followed them the moment they entered Meiying Building.

In the private room with the blue sign on the second floor, a young gentleman kept staring at Qi Sutao who was upstairs, and even the servant next to him was a little jealous. "Son, what are you looking at?"

The corner of the young man's lips curled slightly: "Call me Susu."

The little servant pursed his lips, showing resignation on his face, but turned around and walked out.

Those who go up to the second floor are all distinguished guests. As the madam of Meiying Building, Mother Qiu will not neglect the distinguished guests on the second floor.Even if she entered the Meiying Building, she would not neglect her. Of course, the second floor is more attentive.Lie down in front of the railing and opened a small corner of the curtain, Zhu Ba was extremely excited. "I don't know what kind of beauty this Miss Liu is. Is she more beautiful than Seventh Sister?"

"There are not many beauties in this world who can compare to Qi Qi, but I am really curious about how beautiful this Miss Liu is." When they went upstairs just now, Mother Qiu praised her Liu Susu so much. She and Zhu Ba are even more curious about Liu Susu because of the unique beauty in the world.

Zhu Ba excitedly said: "Sister Taozi, let's participate too."

Xiaomei poured cold water on the side: "Little Ba Ye, don't forget, let's just take a look!"

Zhu Ba pouted: "Isn't this just to see? Do you think we can do anything to that Miss Liu? Besides, if we don't get involved, we still won't see the legendary Miss Liu!"

Qi Sutao also felt that they had to participate in this "bidding", so that they could get a glimpse of this Liu Susu who only knew her name but didn't know her face.

Moreover, rather than being stared at like "meat" by those "hungry wolves" outside, it would be safer to be "bid" by the two of them.Touching the bag of golden beans brought out this time, Qi Sutao said: "Xiaoba, go boldly to take pictures, your sister Taozi is rich!"

I don't know who was touching the golden beans a few days ago, feeling sorry for spending too much money, but this time I don't think it's too much to see a beauty.

Soon, the "auction" began, and every customer on the second floor had a sign in their hands, marked with one, two and three, this one means double the price, two means double the price, and three means triple the price price.The golden bean in Qi Sutao's hand is very valuable, probably no one present is richer than her.

Before the opening of "Bidding", Liu Susu's song "Phoenix Prisoner" attracted everyone's amazement, even Qi Sutao, who didn't know how to play the piano, felt that this player was very good at playing the song.

"This Liu Susu should be a talented woman, she plays this song really well."

Zhu Ba nodded in agreement: "It's really good, not worse than Fifth Brother at all." The best piano player in their old Zhu's family is the fifth young master Zhu from Zhu's residence. "If Fifth Brother is here, he will definitely feel that he has met an opponent."

"Is the fifth son very good at playing the piano?"

Zhu Ba nodded and said proudly: "Of course, fifth brother is very powerful. He once played in front of the imperial court, and he got the inscription with His Majesty's imperial pen! Because of this, the old man in the family praises everyone. You can also play that copybook." I've seen it, it's hanging in the hall where our house welcomes guests."

Recalling the copybook in the hall of Zhu Mansion, Qi Sutao said that she didn't recognize what was written on it at all.

The flying dragon and the phoenix dance so well that they can go to the sky!
