with words in mind

Chapter 232 The Jiangnan Flower Umbrella Festival Case 3
In other words, Qi Ying, who was still on his way, saw that the sky was fading, and planned to choose an inn to rest.The past few days have finally been a pity, and along the way, finally there is a good inn willing to take him in!
"Guest officer! Are you staying at a hotel?" In an inn not far away, the waiter who was watching hurriedly came out and asked with a smile on his face.

Qi Ying looked up and saw that the inn that Xiao Er belonged to was named Wen Xin: "It's a homonym for warmth, um." He looked at the inn where Xiao Er was dressed in coarse cloth, but he was clean, since he took the initiative to say hello, this is the one! "Lead the way ahead."

"Hey! Guest officer, please—" Xiao Er enthusiastically led the way!
Qi Ying was already exhausted due to the long journey, but the shopkeeper was considerate and prepared a medicinal bath for invigorating blood, which can relieve fatigue.Not only that, even the mules are well looked after!
After entering the bathtub, he could finally relax and lie comfortably in it. The fragrance from the medicinal bath made him feel as if he was in the clouds, and his tiredness was relieved. And the decoration of this inn is also full of meticulous care, surrounded by candlesticks , the lights are warm, and while taking a bath, you can watch the moonlight through the window. It's really happiness that comes so fast!Let him instantly become shiny barking eyes! !
Under the moonlight, the flower branches outside the window swayed with the wind, exuding a light fragrance of flowers. Looking along the flower branches, in another room a few windows away, Lan Xue exhaled foul breath, finally tired She didn't even want to wash up when it was broken, so she just fell on the mattress!
"His Royal Highness King Xing is so difficult to serve." She couldn't help sighing. Of course, such words must never be said in front of others, but compared with His Highness the Crown Prince, this Ninth Highness is really out of his mind, and he has no common sense in walking the rivers and lakes!Therefore, during this journey, she was so busy that she vomited blood!Everything has to be pre-arranged! !Not only do you have to arrange an inn for His Royal Highness, prepare a medicinal bath, but you also need to order the waiter in the shop to take care of the mule.
Suddenly, a series of indistinct singing voices came from outside the window. It was His Royal Highness King Xing who was enjoying his bath and began to hum. The singing reached the depth of love, and the volume was a little higher, and it reached Lan Xue's ears!

"Pipa music, the lights are bright, the breeze is gentle, you and I are on the front and back~" Qi Ying is yearning for the astonishing singing of the second emperor brother, he has practiced it for a long time in private, and often sings while taking a bath!Sometimes he would write some poems by himself when he got up, and now this is his own nonsense, "Sister cooks tea and incense, brother comes to taste - sister chooses new clothes, brother wears it - sister brings spring flowers, brother comes to smell - —The rivers and lakes are comfortable, one person guards, two people walk, the clouds are far away, you and I are in front of each other~"

The more Lan Xue listened, the more her eyes became whiter. How could the lyrics fit the status quo? What was even more infuriating was that His Royal Highness King Xing was in high spirits, singing louder and louder, as if the whole world was surrounded by this song!It's really lifeless.
Under the same month, Mingzhou, by the lake of Zhihu.

Yan Mo picked out a few small gifts, and began to look for a beautiful flower umbrella to bring to Xiaowen.Although expensive flower umbrellas are relatively rare, too conspicuous flower umbrellas will also attract the attention of bad guys, so Yan Mo didn't go into the store to choose, but waited and looked at the stall, ready to pick a well-made umbrella with a beautiful surface The flower umbrella. Looking at it, she thought again, why did Zhu Wangshan bring a strong man?Why is the strong man carrying a flower umbrella?Wouldn't it be better to pretend to be a tourist if you want to walk around in disguise?Carrying a flower umbrella will inevitably attract people to ask about buying and selling, and it always seems superfluous.
"Miss, which flower umbrella did you fancy?" A stall owner hurriedly greeted a visitor when he saw a visitor stop, and when he looked up, he realized that it was a lady with a young man by his side. He immediately smiled and said, " Oops, it's a lady~ I'm so blind!" The stall owner also knew how to do business, rolled his eyes, and said, "Master, why don't you buy a flower umbrella for your lady?" As he spoke, he took out two umbrellas with mandarin duck patterns. Umbrellas have different patterns, but they are a pair at a glance, "The Flower Umbrella Festival, although it is a love festival for young masters and girls to express their hearts to each other, there are also many married couples who go out for a stroll! Look at it." You have an extraordinary bearing, these two mandarin duck umbrellas are a small private collection, and they are going to be used by my little daughter when she gets married~" Speaking of this, the stall owner smiled from ear to ear, and continued, "But today we see two umbrellas. This umbrella is more suitable for you two! The little one is willing to give up!"

Yan Mo came back to his senses when he heard the words. He wanted to buy one as a gift for Xiaowen, but when he was introduced by the stall owner, he felt embarrassed and looked at the umbrella at a loss.
Qi Ming stretched out his hand, gently pushed the mandarin duck umbrella and said, "A gentleman does not take away what others love. It is a happy event for a young girl to marry, and the old man does not need to part with her. My son is also here to express his congratulations to the old man." He nodded his head and raised his eyes. After looking at all the flower umbrellas, he picked up a pink-bottomed red plum and silver-rimmed umbrella, on which there were a few white cranes flying far away, and he gracefully held the umbrella on Yan Mo's head, no matter how pleasing to the eye~ he was about to take it off !

"Oh! You have a good eye!" The stall owner praised, "This umbrella is also a small proud work, hehe~" He smiled and said, "It is the treasure of the town stall! The asking price is a bit high, and many guest officials have seen it. Didn’t buy it. Hehe~ So I’m waiting for you, my lord!”

Qi Ming thought to himself, this old man is really eloquent, but the flower umbrella is really good. After giving the umbrella to Yan Mo, he was going to pick one for himself, and after choosing and choosing, he fell in love with a flying one with a white background and silver edges. The crane ordered the plum umbrella!Inadvertently, they matched with the red plum and silver umbrella with a foundation just now~
Under the bright lights, the silver-rimmed flower umbrella he picked up shone with light, he lifted off the hood of the love veil, smiled still, looked at Yan Mo, the warm current in his chest was gurgling, softening everything, as if What are you waiting for.
Yan Mo held up a flower umbrella, and the light-colored tassels under the umbrella handle danced in the evening wind, as if brushing against her heart, making it tickle
"." Qi Ming didn't wait for the other party's initiative, so he had to take a step forward and handed over the umbrella, "The sky is beautiful, the moon and the sun are shining, and I will do my makeup for you from the bottom of my heart."

"." When Yan Mo saw the fox's affectionate appearance, he felt a little bit guilty, but the peace of mind and joy that emerged in his heart was really hard to hide, and secretly flowed out of his eyes.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party has been hesitating, Qi Ming tilted his head, deepened his smile, and let out a pleasant voice: "Huh?"

"Everything is boring!" Yan Mo randomly stuffed the umbrella into the opponent's arms!He grabbed the Feihe umbrella and turned around to leave!

Qi Ming raised his eyebrows, didn't even move a muscle, and saw that the other party hadn't walked a few steps before turning back, he couldn't help laughing so hard that he showed his eight white teeth!Not to mention how happy I am!

The stall owner opened his shrewd eyes, gave a thumbs up, and said flatteringly: "Young master is really amazing! Pick one out of ten thousand, and you actually picked out a pair~" Thinking, this business will definitely make a lot of money!
Qi Ming was in high spirits, staring at Yan Mo all the time, without saying a word, took out a piece of silver and handed it directly to the stall owner!Make the stall owner happy!

Yan Mo returned to the stall, feeling the sticky eyes of the fox, without raising her eyelids, she said angrily: "Don't make trouble!" and began to pick out umbrellas for Xiaowen. In the end, she picked out a Yanfei peach blossom branch umbrella , I hope that Xiaowen can see the person he likes in the future, and the love road will be smooth, "Old man, is that silver coin enough to buy three umbrellas?"

Not to mention three umbrellas, if you take away all the umbrellas in the stall, that ingot of silver is enough, the stall owner nodded cheerfully and said: "Enough is enough!" Then, he did not forget to send two good words , "The two of you are really close to each other, and you will be able to grow old together, full of children and grandchildren~"

Qi Ming lowered his eyes and smiled shyly, and said: "Wrap up the umbrella and these, and send someone to the mansion of Duke Wei." He handed over the gadgets in his hand as he spoke.

"Hey!" The stall owner took the things respectfully, "It turns out to be a nobleman from the Duke's Mansion! Don't worry, young master, I will do as you please~ Oh, my wife is really blessed! You and your young master are truly a pair of people! A match made in heaven ~The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will also be jealous of that!"

It's a good thing to say, and you can't stop for a while!

Yan Mo couldn't take it anymore, so he dragged Qi Ming who was overjoyed to leave quickly! !After leaving the umbrella stand for some distance, she squinted at the other party: "Have you laughed enough?"

"Not enough~" Qi Ming's voice was soft, he lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "This life is not enough~"

Yan Mo blocked it with an umbrella at the right time!Just to isolate the other party's breath, a pair of disdainful eyes appeared from the side of the umbrella and said: "Don't give some sunshine to make it shine! Don't forget about the business!!"

Qi Ming hooked the corners of his lips, gently moved away the opponent's umbrella with his hand, and leaned closer to Shen Sheng again, "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten~"

Faced with this greasyness, Yan Mo gave the other party a blank look, and quickly distanced himself!When I looked up, I saw a corner of Qingfang Platform, and my expression changed instantly! !

Although it was very short, just now she saw a dark green figure stagnating on a corner cornice!His body shape is very similar to that mysterious man! !The most important thing is that the other party's swift and agile skills are unmistakable! !

"Yan'er?" Seeing the other party's expression changed, Qi Ming hurriedly followed, "What's wrong?"

"It's the one who saved you!" Yan Mo said as he put away the umbrella, twisted his body to avoid pedestrians, and ran!
"Yan'er!!!" Qi Ming also put away the umbrella, and followed him away!

When the two of them stopped in front of the Qingfang platform, Yan Mo's eyes turned rapidly, looking around, but he couldn't find the dark green figure!Suddenly it occurred to her that they had indeed visited the whole busy street, but they had never been in the remaining two restaurants and Qingfangtai!

Did that person want to remind her?
"Where did you leave my son's clothes?"

Qi Ming hadn't seen enough of this gauze dress yet, although he was reluctant, he still replied, "I'm staying in that tailor shop."

"A woman can enter a brothel in a dress?" Yan Mo asked with a straight face.

Qi Ming frowned: "Advance is gain, but reputation will be damaged."

"Anyway, no one recognizes me!" After saying that, Yan Mo led the way up the paddle-shaped stairs and climbed up!

"Yan'er!" Qi Ming caught up with him, and put a hood on Yan Mo, which could somewhat conceal some of his appearance.

When the welcoming girl saw a woman coming, she was afraid that she was here to cause trouble, so she hurriedly stopped her: "This lady!" Seeing the other party's hair bun, she was probably looking for her husband who drank flower wine, and she didn't even think about it. He said kindly, "This is not the place Madam should come to, please go back."

"I'll drink flower wine with my husband, can't I?" Yan Mo said, turning his body sideways, revealing Qi Ming behind him.

The welcoming girl was stunned for a moment!Strange things happen every day, especially today!She tentatively asked, "Isn't Madam here to catch rape?"

"Hmph!" Yan Mo still bowed his head, and said with a chuckle, "My husband is still behind me, whose traitor should I catch?"

"But. This." The welcoming girl didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so she still didn't dare to let her go.
Qi Ming couldn't stand it anymore, took out a piece of silver, passed Yan Mo, and leaned over to whisper a few words in the ear of the welcoming girl. As soon as the silver was stuffed, the girl's eyes became brighter and she blushed and glanced at him. With a word of indifference, she bowed and took a small step back, making way for the two of them!

"!" Yan Mo looked at the fox with some magic, not knowing what the other party said, it was so effective!
"It's important to find someone!" Qi Ming embraced the other party, trying to hide Yan Mo in his arms, "This place is very big, I'm afraid it's hard to find it."

Yan Mo, who was detained, felt a little inconvenient to move, but the other party refused to let go, so she could only turn her head and observe her surroundings
The Qingfang platform was brightly lit, and there were tables full of guests and charming girls. The two of them walked around the main hall while watching, not to mention any shadows, not even suspicious people!
"Don't be in a hurry." Qi Ming suggested, "Why don't we find a place to sit down first?"

While talking, the lively crowd suddenly became more excited, and then the music rang out, and a group of girls dancing with water sleeves stepped on the lotus flower step gracefully on the stage!
The sound of the zither was melodious, and Qi Ming and Yan Mo were shocked when the gathered water sleeves were thrown out! !Isn't the center dancer who is revealed the girl Su Yin? ! !
"Su Yin?" Yan Mo was a little puzzled, and then thought, after the Mengxiang Building caught fire, she was anxious to escort His Majesty and Concubine Li, and had no time to confirm the safety of others, and she never became suspicious after hearing the news of Su Yin's death. Mysterious What is the purpose of the man leading her here?Thinking of this, she didn't care about her own reputation, or even her surroundings, she got rid of Qi Ming's embrace and wanted to go on stage to ask the truth!
but!The stage was surrounded by the crowd, and when she approached, some drunk men were so excited when they saw the girl, they wanted to hug her!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" followed by Qiming, and slapped the drunk man's hand at a speed invisible to the naked eye!It made the man scream in a low voice!And the loud cheers have long overshadowed this person's screams! !

"Yan'er!" Qi Ming hurriedly pulled the other party over and held him in his arms, "You will only attract attention if you rush to question her! Listen to me, sit down and wait and see."

Yan Mo really wanted to know who the dark green figure was, and Su Yin's secret. The two appeared here at the same time, so there must be a connection!She forgot for a moment that she was in a brothel, under the watchful eyes of everyone!Under the leadership of Qi Ming, she came back to her senses and came to a corner seat to wait.
The fluttering sleeves and graceful figure are not so beautiful to her, but they are in the way!Wait and wait until Su Yin finally dances!
"Yan'er!" Qi Ming grabbed the anxious opponent and said, "You shouldn't come forward, leave this matter to me."

"She appeared together with the mysterious man, maybe there is a relationship between the two!" Yan Mo said seriously, "Dead and resurrected, this Su Yin is definitely not a simple person!"

"Come here." Qi Ming still held on to the other party, and called the girl who came to serve, "Invite that girl to come and have a talk." Then, he took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.

"Forgive me, sir." The girl said softly, "Miss Su doesn't accept outsiders, you have to hold a flower umbrella for her to make an appointment." She pointed to the top of her head and said, "Leave your love poems and names on the umbrella, Only those who can impress her can meet in private."

At the same time, Su Yin in the arena was full of happiness, thanked everyone in all directions, and was about to leave the stage.
Yan Mo secretly followed Su Yin's movements, and lightly parted her red lips, "Please, girl, serve us a pot of tea first." She raised her eyes to signal Qi Ming to follow her when the girl who was waiting to be served was dismissed!The two used the crowd to secretly follow Su Yin! ! !
