Chapter 38
Chapter 38
Half a month passed quickly, and the flow of people in Fengyu County suddenly increased in the past few days.The restaurants, inns and teahouses are full every day.
Not for anything else, just because the oiran competition is about to start.
Coupled with the unprecedented participation of the Red Sleeve Hall, which has not participated in the election for many years, the number of people who came to watch the Oiran Competition this year was more than double that of previous years.It is enough to see the influence of Yunchuxiu in the hearts of everyone.
"There are new characters every year in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. Qin Ruyi in the Ruyilou has been gradually overshadowed by the newly-emerged girls in the past two years. Yun Chuxiu is nearly thirty years old. It's right, it's not as good as a young and tender girl."
"What you said is wrong. Being young has its advantages, but it's still young, so it's just a taste. Who is Yunchuxiu, not to mention this Fengyu County, the entire Suizhou Prefecture, no one knows .My son, I still like this kind of charming one."
"..."
On the banks of the Fengshui River, a Nuoda platform was set up, surrounded by various boats and boats, and the cold Qiongyue hung high in the sky, which could not match the brilliant fireworks in the world.
The lights and shadows intertwine, and the night is as bright as the day.There was a turmoil of people, and the noise continued.
Wen Yan and Yuan Bao didn't have a boat, so they had to find a nearby river bank and watch.
Wen Yan didn't know where to throw Yun Chuxiu's invitation.There were too many rumors about him in Fengyu County, if he took the post and boarded the boat at this time, he might be talked about again.
If he loses face in Fengyu County, he will lose it. He doesn't want his glorious deeds to spread throughout Suizhou.He also wants to save face.
However, thinking of Yuan Bao's inadvertent intrusion into the Red Sleeve Pavilion that day, Wen Yan's mind moved.
"Baby, if I ask you to go to the room in the Red Sleeve Pavilion again, can you still find the way?"
Yuan Bao was opening his arms, covering Wen Yan to his chest like a chicken, for fear of pushing his little husband down from the crowd.
"Oh, uh, I don't know, I just have to walk around and see."
"The oiran competition will start later, let's go."
Yuan Bao nodded wildly.He didn't want to say anything about coming to this kind of place.The woman who was posing on the stage was so ugly!
"Ah, here I come, the girl Ruyi from Ruyi Building is here!"
Wen Yan followed the sound and saw that on the luxuriously decorated float, a woman covered her face with a tulle, and her every move was charming.Qin Ruyi was leaning on the float, holding a jade flute in Xianxian's hand, the melodious and melodious sound of the flute was refreshing.The seemingly lazy movements are captivating.Especially those eyes, the pupils cut water, are charming.Let people look at it, and they can't take their eyes away.
Wen Yan also saw it straight, if the clouds came out of Xiuxiu with thousands of splendors, Qin Ruyi would definitely be even better!
Yuan Bao was a little annoyed.
"What a broken flute, it sounds really bad, it's so noisy."
Yuan Bao picked off a leaf casually, opened his thin lips lightly, and the ear-piercing tone seemed to break through the sky, disturbing Qin Ruyi's flute sound.
Everyone was also stimulated by the sudden sound, covering their ears and complaining: "Who is so noisy!"
Qin Ru commented that the crowd was chaotic, he had long since lost the obsession just now, and secretly hated in his heart.
Wen Yan also woke up in an instant. Looking at Qin Ruyi at this moment, she was beautiful, but not intoxicating.Compared with Yunchuxiu, it still lacks a bit of natural elegance.
"What happened to me just now, it's so strange." Wen Yan rubbed the center of his brows.
On a boat in the middle of the river, there are two people sitting on both sides of the small table in the bow, one of them is wearing white clothes and a silver mask.The other person was dressed in black, with a huge hood covering half of his face, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Sir, it was the man who disturbed Qin Ruyi's flute with leaves just now." Liang Ji whispered.
The bright lights made Liang Ji's complexion a little pale, which shows that the injury last time was really serious.
"Will he, have recovered?"
Ning Huai poured himself a cup of tea: "You said last time that there are still two blocks in his body, and they are also the most critical two."
"That's right, if there is no external force to intervene, even top experts will never have the possibility to break through by themselves."
"Since you are so sure, why ask?"
"gentlemen?"
"The sound of Qin Ruyi's flute is captivating, but that person has fewer distracting thoughts than ordinary people. Therefore, he will not be affected by the sound of the flute, but will feel that the sound of the flute is disturbing, so he blows the blades, breaking Qin Ruyi Good thing."
"So that's the case, it's a pity."
"Heh, if you're not as skilled as others, you shouldn't be ashamed. What's going on in Chaozhong recently?"
"After Han Yijiang ascended the throne, he devoted himself to avenging King Xin. All the officials who participated in the case of King Xin were executed by Han Yijiang. The officials in the court were panicked, and they were afraid of affecting themselves, so they dared not speak out."
"Also, there was continuous heavy rain in the area of Huaizhou, and the Huai River burst its embankment, flooding several villages. The government's inaction caused the victims to flee everywhere, and the order in the city was chaotic. There were many people who killed people and set fires, and robbed food. The government had no choice but to drive the victims away. The magistrate of Huaizhou requested the imperial court to distribute food and salaries for disaster relief, but Han Yijiang ignored it, and the people in Huaizhou were full of resentment."
"Later, Lu Qi, the commander-in-chief of the Huaizhou garrison, forced the magistrate to open a warehouse to release food, and ordered the doctors in the medical center to deal with the aftermath, so as to prevent the plague from rampant after the flood. In this way, Lu Qi was admired by the people of Huaizhou, and even the officials of Huaizhou Also turn against Lu Qi."
"However, this Lu Qi does have some talents. Such a big natural disaster can be dealt with in a matter of months. Not only that, but he also knows how to unite people's hearts. Now the whole Huaizhou, I am afraid that the emperor Han Yijiang is unknown. , but only recognize Lu Qi as the chief soldier."
Ning Huai put down his teacup, lightly tapped his white fingers on the table: "Huaizhou..."
"Huaizhou is located in the south, and the weather has always been smooth, but this year it suffered a disaster. Han Yijiang tried to usurp the throne, and even God can't stand it." Liang Jidao.
Ning Huai smiled lightly, noncommittal.
The boat was boiling again, Liang Ji looked out, and there was a woman in red standing on the simple and elegant float. The woman had no decorations on her body, and her black hair was only held by a white jade hairpin.The simpler it is, the more desirable it is.
"That's Yunchuxiu! Who said that Yunchuxiu's middle-aged lady is so gorgeous, and it's not an exaggeration to say that she is a nine-day fairy descending to earth!"
"Oh, that's not right. Over the years, Yun Chuxiu's figure has become more and more charming."
"..."
Ning Huai looked at Xunsheng, and a look of astonishment flashed in his calm eyes.Immediately, it returned to normal.
"Red Sleeve Hall, what is the origin..."
Looking at the boiling crowd on the shore, Wen Yan couldn't help feeling that Yun Chuxiu had a unique vision.
From this point of view, tonight's oiran must be Yunchuxiu.
However, the Red Sleeve Pavilion has been silent for many years, but suddenly ran for election.There is also the matter of cooperating with him. Although Wen Yan is not that exquisite person, he also feels that Yun Chuxiu is very eager to make this business with him.
Such a big red sleeve restaurant doesn't look like a master who is short of money.Unless, there are other places where money is urgently needed.Moreover, it is still a small amount.
Wen Yan didn't want to pay attention to these things at first, but he vaguely felt that Yuan Bao had something to do with the Red Sleeve Hall.This, he had to take care of.
"Baby, let's go to the Red Sleeve Pavilion."
"okay."
"Baby, there is only one entrance to the Red Sleeve Pavilion, where did you enter that day?"
Yuan Bao scratched his head: "I didn't come from here. Um... I don't know, but I came out of Jinxiufang that day."
Wen Yan understood Yuan Bao's meaning: "Okay, let's go this way from Jinxiufang as well. Think about it carefully, where is the entrance?"
"Oh, alright. But Yan Yan, why do you have to go to the Red Sleeve Hall?" Yuan Bao was inexplicably aggrieved.
Wen Yan knew that this guy was overthinking again, so he said, "For your own good."
"Oh, hehe, the words are really good. Don't worry, I will definitely find it."
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the Fengshui River, the street seemed even more deserted.
Wen Yan followed Yuan Bao, starting from Jinxiufang, and walked along the main street until he reached an inconspicuous alley.Yuan Bao took a familiar road and turned in until he reached a dilapidated residential house at the end of the alley.
Yuan Bao hugged Wen Yan's waist, jumped up and climbed over the courtyard wall.
"Baby, there will be no one here."
"No."
In the pitch-black courtyard, there was only the sound of two people breathing.Yuan Bao pushed open the door and groped a few times on the wall, only to hear a click, and the cabinet against the wall split into two halves, revealing a dark entrance.
"Authentic?" Wen Yan was a little excited.
Yuan Bao took Wen Yan's hand, took the torch at the entrance of the secret passage, and his eyes lit up instantly.
This secret passage is rough and dusty inside, it seems that no one has been there for a long time.
Wen Yan silently weighed in his heart, from the courtyard here to the Red Sleeve Pavilion, if he walked normally, he would need to pass through the Four Bamboo Alley and then take a detour.But this tunnel is a straight-line distance, and it didn't take much time to arrive.
Different from the secret passage of the houses, this section of road is made of green bricks.Further forward is a stone gate, Yuan Bao pressed his finger on the pattern in the center of the stone gate a few times, and the stone gate opened.
Behind the door is a square stone room.
"Yanyan, look." Yuan Bao took down a green brick, revealing a hole.Wen Yan looked out from the cave, and what he saw was Yunchuxiu's room.
The people in the Red Sleeve Pavilion are all in the Fengshui River, and the room is very quiet at this moment.
Wen Yan swallowed.
"Baby, why do you know about this secret passage? Did you remember something?"
Yuan Bao shook his head: "I don't know, I just came over anyway."
"Baby, do you know Yunchuxiu?"
"I don't know vixen."
Wen Yan choked, thinking: Even though Yuan Bao's mind is not clear, he still remembers this secret passage, which means that Yuan Bao must have a close relationship with the Red Sleeve Pavilion.
"Baby, will the people from the Red Sleeve Pavilion hurt you?"
Yuan Bao thought for a while, then shook his head firmly: "A vixen can seduce words."
Wen Yan choked again: "Don't talk about the vixen."
Seeing that the Fangshi room was empty with nothing, Wen Yan couldn't find any clues even though he was looking for it.Can not help but feel a little discouraged.
"Oh, baby, last time the expert introduced by Dr. He said that the baby will be re-examined in half a month. Now the time has passed, why didn't Dr. He send someone over? Will the expert go back on his word and stop treating the baby? No, tomorrow I have to go to Jining Hall and ask."
"Everyone listens to what they say."
Wen Yan glanced at Yuan Bao, seeing that he seemed a little absent-minded.
"Baby, what are you thinking?"
Yuan Bao shook his head: "I don't know. But... I seem to have forgotten something."
"Important thing?"
"Well...it doesn't count. Well, let's go, Yanyan. Oh, by the way, it's dangerous here, so don't come alone."
Wen Yan sneered, is this guy afraid that he won't be able to make a date with someone by taking a secret route?
Before Wen Yan could speak, a sharp arrow suddenly hit Wen Yan wrapped in a gust of wind, and went straight to Wen Yan's door, Wen Yan's legs went limp...
The sharp arrow stopped two inches from the front door, Yuan Bao held the arrow body in his hand, and said quietly: "I'm not scaring you, it's really dangerous."
Wen Yan: "..."
The oiran contest ended, and Yun Chuxiu was elected as the oiran without any surprises, but everyone was more and more curious about her at such an age, and she still maintained a graceful and exquisite figure.
Yun Chuxiu didn't hide his secrets, and said bluntly that if you want to know the reason, the door of the Hongxiu Pavilion is open for you at any time.
Rong Jin had acquired the tone of Wen Yan beforehand, knowing that what Yun Chuxiu said must come from Wen Yan's hands.With today's hot scene, Rong Jin stroked a few beards, and seemed to have seen a lot of white money waving at him.
Back at the Red Sleeve Pavilion, Yun Chuxiu closed the door tightly, her face was extremely itchy, she knew that her poison had flared up again.Since I was poisoned five years ago, I have been poisoned every three months.And whenever the poison occurs, the Lord will send pills over.
The last poisoning was an accident, counting the days, today is the period of the poisoning in March.
What made Yun Chuxiu collapse was that there was no pill! !
