You are back

Chapter 60

When Pei Qing arrived, Li Yan was sitting on the couch in the middle of the back hall with one leg bent and one hand propped on the couch. A prostitute was playing a pipa in front of the couch, and the other was singing a cheerful song. Xiao Qu'er and another one were dancing, and Li Yan was surrounded by four or five prostitutes, who pinched legs, handed tea, and peeled chestnuts. It was very lively.

Pei Qing raised his hand to signal Jindou to keep quiet, stood at the door of the back hall for a while, and then coughed heavily, walked to the couch with a calm expression, sat down on the other side of the couch, and scanned it all because of his cough. But for a moment, everyone looked at his prostitutes in silence, and pointed to the prostitute who sang the song, "This little song is too elegant, it is not suitable, what you want to see and listen to, is your usual appearance, or sing A sentimental song."

Li Yan's eyes lit up and he smiled warmly. He moved to sit more upright and looked at the female prostitute singing, waiting for her to sing a passionate song.

Female prostitutes, look at me, I look at you, and then look at Li Yan and Pei Qing, who are sitting on the couch one to the left. Weird things happen every year, especially this year.

As soon as the song changed, the appearance of the female prostitute singing the ditty was very different from before. Li Yan looked at her with interest. As the female prostitute sang the song, she glanced at Li Yan, then at Pei Qing, and then at Pei Qing. One glance at Li Yan, then another glance at Pei Qing... taking turns to glance at no one more and no one less.

"It's really not easy." Li Yan glanced at the prostitutes who took turns, and sighed sympathetically. Pei Qing signaled the prostitutes, "Just look at her."

The prostitute who was singing 'who is who's heart and soul' was stuck by Pei Qing's singing, so she quickly followed it up, and she also missed most of the sentence.

"It's okay, keep singing." Li Yan hurriedly signaled the prostitutes to take it easy. Since Pei Qing came in, these prostitutes were obviously much more cautious, and the relaxed atmosphere just now had disappeared.

The prostitutes around her were strict, those who played the pipa were serious and focused, those who sang the little song were afraid they could not sing well, and the prostitutes who were dancing wildly just now did not dare to dance, but Li Yan didn't like the little song sung by Li Yan I understand, after a while, Li Yan became a little bored.

"Do you often come to a place like this?" Li Yan glanced at Pei Qing, who was sitting cross-legged and apparently listening to music attentively.

"I've seen it before." Pei Qing ignored the trap in Li Yan's words.Li Yan let out a groan in boredom, then listened to the song, the prostitute sang a few more lines, Pei Qing raised his hand to signal her to stop, "Is Furong still in Nanyang?"

The female prostitute was stunned for a moment, then she hurriedly bent her knees and replied: "Hui Master, Furong has been rehabilitated..."

"Oh." Pei said flatly and tastelessly, and stopped talking.

Li Yan looked at Pei Qing blankly, this Furong, can you sing well?It seems that he was very knowledgeable back then...

"This place is full of people doing business in the flesh business on the street. They sing and dance. But it's just a matter of time. Not many men who come here can understand the music. Most of them just go straight to the point." Silence. For a moment, Pei Qing looked at Li Yan and spoke casually. Li Yan understood and stood up, "I see, then I'm leaving."

Li Yan said, turned around and left. Pei Qing was a little surprised, stood up and followed Li Yan out.

After coming out of the Red Building, Li Yan identified the direction and went back to the inn.

Pei Qing and Li Yan walked side by side for a while. After passing the bustling and lively street, the surroundings became quiet, and then Pei Qing said, "Your things are almost all there, except for the girls and servants..." After a pause, "If you come from the market Buy, we will arrive in the capital in two or three days, there is no time to adjust, if you go back to Li's house, I am afraid that you will not be able to help you, but will cause more trouble."

Li Yan looked at Pei Qing, but didn't answer, he hadn't finished speaking yet.

"The Pei family can pick out some useful servants, it depends on what the girl wants." Pei Qing looked at Li Yan, Li Yan stopped, and looked up to meet Pei Qing's gaze, "Half and half. Many, I'll go to Li's house to have a look, if you agree, stay, if you don't agree, let's talk about disagreement."

"Okay." Pei Qing agreed very simply, "I also want to stay in the capital for a while, don't worry..."

"You have everything?" Li Yan quickly answered, "Thank you. However, I feel that everything depends on others, which is not a reassuring thing in any case."

Pei Qing's eyes flashed with admiration, and he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back when it reached his lips.

Pei Qing didn't speak, and Li Yan didn't speak either. The two walked side by side, until they reached the gate of Li Yan's small courtyard. The courtyard door, watching the courtyard door close, turned and went back.

The next day, Li Yan packed up and came out, standing at the door of the inn, staring at the convoy passing out of the alley. !

Apart from things, there were five extra servants who came out overnight. They followed Pei Qing. Pei Qing pointed to the five and introduced: "This is Madam Kong, an old man who has been serving for many years. These few... you come here." Say it."

After Pei Qing introduced Grandma Kong, he got stuck. He simply pointed at the other four people and asked Grandma Kong to introduce them.

"Greetings to Miss!" Nanny Kong knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and then stood up to introduce the four little girls, "Miss, this is Ludie. I have learned the rules, and I am good at sewing and cooking. This is Haitang. I went to Ren Yazi's house when I was seventeen and nine years old, and learned some manners. This is Yuegui, who was also seventeen. To a family, at the beginning of this year, her brother wanted money for his marriage, so her parents sold her. This is Du Juan, who is sixteen this year, and grew up in Ren Yazi's house since childhood."

Li Yan glanced at Yushu, and Yushu lowered her eyelids at her, signaling that she understood that Nanny Kong and Ludie belonged to the Pei family, and the other three were bought now.

"Thank you very much." Li Yan looked at Pei Qing and thanked him, Pei Qing leaned slightly and smiled and said, "The girl is well, so I can feel at ease."

The long motorcade started to walk slowly. It was not until noon that they had just arrived at Funiuyi, a ten-mile road north and south of Nanyang City. After a very sumptuous lunch at Funiuyi, the motorcade set off, and Li Yan sat beside her. In a brand-new large car, after much deliberation, I discussed with Yushu in a low voice, "The five, I think it's a bit too much, let's just have two people and four eyes. If something happens, I can't take care of it. You can do it yourself, but if you don’t need so many people, just leave it for a while, what do you think?”

"If the eldest lady feels that it's too much... not too much, it's not enough." Yushu counted the heads with Li Yan on his fingers, "Just say that you should be on duty beside the eldest lady. At least two people in one shift, at least two shifts in one day. , two people are not enough at night..."
