into the bosom

Chapter 123

The flower buildings on both sides of the Yanzhi River are connected to each other, and Lanzhou is considered to be the best among them.Like its name, the layout is elegant.

Lan Zhou dug a river channel in the whole yard and brought in water. The river channel was winding like a curved water cup.

The elegant rooms and pavilions are all built along the river, and the names are elegant and unique.The curved rivers converge in the middle, forming a green pool, with an open pavilion in the middle, with veils hanging around, and the night wind makes them dance lightly. It looms behind the light gauze, fluttering like a butterfly.

"You two gentlemen, you seem a bit unfamiliar, but do you want the slave family to introduce two girls for you?"

When Xu Jiao was watching with great interest, he suddenly heard a charming and laughing voice behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a woman with heavy make-up and flamboyant gestures leaned over, with a butterfly embroidered with flowers in her hand. There are bursts of warm wind between the round fan and the light fan.

Behind the round fan, a pair of loving eyes looked at them.

This must be Lanzhou's mother, Xu Jiao thought.

But when the mother swayed her waist and was about to come over, He Lianshu raised her hand, and a bank note fell into her arms lightly. Mother twirled the bank note to see the denomination, and her eyes lit up immediately. stand up.

"You don't need to be called a girl, and you don't need someone to wait on you. Just arrange a good place, and you'll be served with good wine and good food." He Lianshu said in a calm voice, glanced behind him from the corner of his eyes, and added, "One more pot of sherbet .”

Mother Sang was already smiling, "Come here, come here!" Turning her head and shouting, "Hurry up! Take the two gentlemen to 'Chun Yi Late'."

When he was brought to the elegant room named "Chun Yi Late", He Lianshu looked around with his hands behind his back, and saw that the elegant room was located on the second floor, separated by a bead curtain, and the open room below was all in sight. good.

Satisfied, He Lianshu changed hands and threw a piece of silver to the boy who led the way. The boy took it, said good things and bowed back.

He Lianshu turned back, but saw Xu Jiao was tilting his head, looking at him inexplicably, he raised his eyebrows, "What are you looking at?"

"I just saw that brother Helian is familiar with the way here. It seems that brother Helian is really well-informed and familiar with these places!" Xu Jiao said with a smile.

He Lianshu's throat moved slightly, just when Xu Jiao thought he was about to say something, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the open room below.

Xu Jiao felt depressed, and before he could speak, a few servants brought up the wine and food.

The table in this elegant room was also an antique long table. As soon as the person left, Xu Jiao sat down cross-legged, looked at the wine and dishes on the long table, and stretched out his hand towards the jug.

"You are not allowed to drink!" But the flagon was taken away first, and a cool voice passed by my ears.

Xu Jiao turned his head and stared at He Lianshu who was sitting beside him, saw that he had one leg bent, his sitting posture was very chic, and his attitude was even more relaxed, he directly lifted the jug, kissed him with his lips, and then poured down the wine... ...Xu Jiao's eyes were filled with sorrow.

He Lianshu raised her eyebrows back, "I don't know how much I can drink? How dare you drink here?" He moved his chin towards the other glass flagon and said, "That pot of sherbet is specially ordered for you. "

"There are so many things to care about." Xu Jiao muttered in a low voice, brought the pot of sherbet to him, poured a glass and drank it, it was sweet and sour, and the taste was not bad.Xu Jiao smacked his mouth once, then raised the corners of his mouth and laughed again.

There was a song and dance in the open hall, the gauze curtains were lifted, the music was cheerful and dynamic, the dancers in the hall all wore exotic skirts with bare waists and arms, and with the sound of the music, they twisted their waists, from time to time They cast winks at the banquet, some cheered, some tapped their palms to the beat, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

Xu Jiao was very happy while eating snacks and drinking sherbet, but she still remembered the purpose of Helian Shu's visit today, so she took the time to ask with concern, "Are we going to wait here for the lotus chamber to appear? Does it depend on luck?"

"That's not necessary, the Lianfang will play a song every second of every month, and the one with the highest price will get it." He Lianshu said without looking back while drinking wine.

Xu Jiao turned her head to look at his fixed eyebrows, and snorted, "Today happens to be the second day of the eighth lunar month. This person has already settled everything, no wonder such an old god is here."

It was just a song and dance, Xu Jiao stood up.

"Where are you going?" Before Xu Jiao could take a step, He Lianshu's cold eyes glanced over.

"The hut!" Xu Jiao smiled at him and warmly invited him, "Brother Helian, do you want to come together?"

The corner of He Lianshu's mouth twitched, "Go and come back quickly! Don't cause trouble!"

"Understood!" Xu Jiao responded, turned and left.

After the "convenience" was over, Xu Jiao also knew the pros and cons, so she walked back obediently. She was curious about Yanzhihe, but she was not so curious that she insisted on following He Lianshu to open her eyes. In fact, if it wasn't for the assassin The clue fell on Lanzhou Lianfang, but Lanzhou Lianfang has some relationship with Jing Qin. This case is related to Xu Wei and Jing Qin. Following He Lianshu, she can always know the progress of the case as quickly as possible. I really don't want to come to this muddy water.

There were a few drunks on the corridor, Xu Jiao stopped for a while. In a place like Lanzhou, it is not uncommon to have a few drunks, but she didn't want to run into them and cause unnecessary trouble.

She moved sideways to the shadow by the tree and waited for the drunks to pass by.

A few drunks among them all walked away, only one person remained, saying he wanted to blow some air, so he stayed on the porch, sat for a while, got up and staggered towards the direction where his companion left just now.

It happened that a young servant came from around the corner in a panic, and the two collided straight into one place, and the things in the young servant's hand scattered all over the man.

The boy hurriedly apologized to the drunk man, but there was no reason to talk to the drunk man, he stopped the boy very unhappy, and the two started to tear up while talking.

It's really boring...Xu Jiao waited for a long time, a little impatient, and was about to move forward. His gaze casually looked away, and in a blink of an eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of the two of them tugging. The servant's skirt was ripped open, revealing the left collarbone And under the collarbone, there is a very familiar mark...

The two were still tugging, and the young man looked around, as if he didn't see anyone else here, a ruthless light flashed in his eyes, he raised his hand and slashed at the back of the drunk man's neck——

Just now he was still powerful, but the drunk man who was pestering him suddenly lost his body and fell down.

The boy bent over to pick up the basin that fell on the ground, and walked quickly along the veranda in a certain direction.

Xu Jiao then walked out of the shadows, walked to the corridor, and tapped the drunk man on the ground with his toe, but there was no response, his upper body was soaked, it was just splashed by the water in the boy's hand... The man was wearing dark clothes, and there were a few strands of light-colored, fiber-like stuff sticking to his drenched skirt, but he didn't know what it was.

Xu Jiao was curious for a moment, slowly squatted down, and leaned forward to have a look.

His fingers itched, but he felt a little dirty, so he took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, twisted up the few strands through the handkerchief, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully...
