Who says maids don't fall for the city

Chapter 17
The old bustard waved his hand and said with a smile: "My lord, look what you're talking about! My third wife never lies in business!" After a slight pause, he said: "Let's do it, to be honest, if you don't It's really not reasonable to ask everyone to pay for the girl's face." Turning his face and shouting: "Dog, go get a basin of water and wait for the girls to wash their faces!"

A man responded and quickly brought water.

Two girls under the age of eight ran up to the stage with cloth towels, wet them with water, and carefully wiped the girls' faces clean.From time to time, there was a sound of inhalation from the audience.It seems that these women have been carefully selected, and each one is very beautiful.

In front of the last woman in dirty pink clothes, the girl suddenly paused and took a deep breath, as if she smelled something very pleasant.

Subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Cheng Yu behind the gauze curtain, for some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The girl treated the woman in pink with very gentle movements, washing off the dirt on her face little by little.Slowly, he stopped his movements and looked at the woman obsessively.

Seeing that the other girls had won the favor of the guests, the madam was very happy in her heart.Suddenly saw that there was another girl who didn't show her face, and it was the girl who blocked the sight of the guests. She felt displeased and kicked the girl to the ground suddenly.The other child was not surprised, but hurried forward and helped his companion to leave.

After the bustard finished dealing with the unsightly matter, she turned her head to look down the stage with a smile on her face, only to see that all the guests were staring at her with their mouths open and their eyes dull, as if their souls had been captivated by something.I saw that she seemed startled, and then subconsciously touched my face, but after a while, I came back to my senses and turned to look at the woman in pink.

The woman knelt on the ground quietly without bowing her head, her pair of autumn water eyes were crystal clear without any impurities.Although she was described as desolate, her pink clothes were stained with dust, and her black hair was scattered, but she was there so quietly, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.Snow skin and black hair, cherry lips and star eyes.

I froze, and sighed faintly in my heart.

It turned out to be the woman in the imperial garden that day, the picture of a lady on Cheng Yu's book case, and a thorn in my heart... horizontally.

But she is so beautiful, in this gentle town surrounded by red clouds, she can still attract everyone at the first time, and make all the women eclipse in an instant.Even the bustard who had seen countless beauty was stunned, and when he woke up, his face was full of ecstasy.As if he had picked up some treasure, he smiled until the corners of his eyes were covered with fine lines.

But why is she here?
"Crack! Crack!" The bustard clapped her palms and focused everyone's attention on herself.Loudly said: "Everyone has seen the girl's face, and I won't talk too much, Sanniang. In order not to delay the men's spring night, I think we should start now."

Before the words fell, the audience was already shouting.At first, everyone competed for the woman in pink, and the bids became higher and higher. Later, after a young man in brocade clothes who seemed to have a lot of status in the local area yelled "1 taels", no one competed with him anymore.And everyone was a little scared when they saw him, thinking he was a master who should not be messed with.

"Hey, so it's Mr. Song!" The old bustard yelled with a smile, "It's rare that you can come today, you really did me Sanniang face!" But very obvious.Presumably it was due to the fact that no one else dared to raise the price after Young Master Song made the bid.

However, that young man didn't know whether he really couldn't see it or was just pretending. He propped his chin with a folding fan, and nodded in a romantic way.

Seeing him like this, I suddenly thought of Yue Shao, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that the bidding was hopeless, everyone turned their attention to other women, and the lobby became lively again.

But after a while, the remaining four girls were all marked, and everyone looked like they were about to cry, pear blossoms and rain.But the old bustard was obviously used to such scenes, her face remained unchanged, and she ordered them to take them down to take a bath.

My feet were sore, but all the seats were filled, and even the empty places were full of people.Now I can't even walk a few steps.

Seeing that the woman in pink was about to be dragged down, I wondered when Cheng Yu was going to be a hero to save the beauty.

Sighing, I don't know if she can last until then.Thinking about it, she subconsciously looked at her, only to see a layer of haze over the original pure eyes.But she was still so quiet, quietly looking at the maid who came up to pull her.Cherry lips parted slightly, and said a few words.There was determination in his eyes.

Immediately wanted to bite off his tongue.

I was startled, and before I could yell out, I saw the bustard slap me across the face, she didn't catch her, and immediately fell down on the wooden board, bleeding from the corner of her mouth.

The old bustard said bitterly: "If you enter this door, don't make trouble for me!" He said and gave her a look.Turning the head is still a smiling face, greeting the guests to eat, drink and have fun.

The little maid was also not surprised, and continued to walk up to help the woman in pink.Who knew that she was still so stubborn, before the maid came close, she stood up with all her strength and slammed into the pillar!The madam had never expected that she would be so chaste, so she was unprepared.Seeing that her head was about to bump into it, she let out a "swoosh" through the air, and a teacup hit her arm at the most dangerous moment. Perhaps she was already out of strength. The whole person will fall to the ground.

I hurriedly looked up at the second floor, the gauze curtain was lifted, and a white figure jumped down from upstairs, catching the woman in pink before she landed.

The woman opened her eyes, looking in a daze.But it seemed that he was relieved, shouted two words, and fell asleep with a smile.

There was an uproar downstairs!
Cheng Yu hugged her, as if he was watching her eyebrows carefully.The old bustard probably knew his status was precious, so she walked up to him and said a few words with a smile, but got no response.Young Master Song turned on the stage, glared at Cheng Yu angrily, and ordered him to let go of his hands.

In a blink of an eye, Master Song who was originally sitting with Cheng Yu rushed down, scolded his son, and then spoke to Cheng Yu with a very obvious intention of flattering him.The noise from the audience became louder and louder, and some people stood up to watch the excitement, and the scene was very chaotic.

I faintly saw that Cheng Yu seemed to be frowning, wrapping the woman up with both hands.Ignoring everyone, he stepped off the stage and headed for the main entrance.The soldiers guarding the stairs hurriedly opened the way for him, and the two men standing behind him also followed, trying to take the woman from him, but he didn't even look at it.

I was afraid that he would really leave, so I shouted at the top of my voice: "Master Shizi! Master Shizi!" Afraid that he would not be able to respond, I simply called him by his first name: "Cheng Yu!..." He didn't even call out four or five times. hear.Instead, a gray-clothed man who was following behind him glanced in my direction, and I hurriedly shook my hands to let him see more clearly.

He whispered a few words to Cheng Yu, keeping his eyes on my side.But Cheng Yu seemed very anxious, without stopping at all, he went out all the way.

I was taken aback for a moment, and the man in gray looked at me apologetically, and followed suit.

He lost his mind for a moment, until he realized that he was trying his best to push away from the crowd.When they finally got out, they could only see the queue disappearing at the corner of the street.

I want to chase after him, but my body seems to be out of strength, and I can't use any strength.

The bright moon was in the sky, and I was hungry, but I couldn't eat anything.He moved the wooden chair to sit by the window, folded his hands on the edge of the window, propped his chin, and stared straight at the night sky.

It suddenly occurred to me that the day of An's 16th birthday seemed to have such a bright moonlight, but the sky was full of stars that day, but recently, the stars in the sky were scattered and lonely.

Hey!
He sighed involuntarily, and began to worry about who he should go to tomorrow.Cheng Yu?Now that he has a beauty by his side, how can he care about me.But if you go to Yang Ziyu, you don't know what will happen.

When I think of how he hugged the beauty and left without looking at me today, I feel aggrieved in my heart, and the tip of my nose turns sore.Fortunately, I held back my emotions and didn't cry in the street, otherwise I would be ashamed!
Thinking about it this way, I felt that I was a very strong person, and it was unreasonable to be hit by such a trivial matter.Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and he got up to open the door, but it was a master of the escort agency standing outside the door.

"Brother Ji, we may have to travel overnight tonight." He said apologetically, "Do you want to go with us, or leave tomorrow morning?"

I hurriedly replied: "Of course we go together. You go first, and I will come as soon as I collect my things."

He nodded, "That's very good, let's meet at the back door." After speaking, he left.

All my things were in the bag and I hadn’t taken them out yet, so I packed some leftover snacks, packed them again, and rushed to the back door with them.Everyone was waiting for me, and when they saw me coming, they let me sit on the wooden cart loaded with goods. Master Zhang, the leader of the escort, waved his hand, and the escort team quietly left Happy City.

Their expressions were very serious, as if something serious had happened.But although I got along well with them along the way, I never talked about the specific situation of this dart betting.I thought it was a commercial secret, but if they didn't tell me, I naturally didn't ask.Now that I think about it, maybe there was something wrong with the escort and they left in a hurry.

Presumably they often took this route and got along well with the officers and soldiers, so they could leave the city at this time.

After leaving Happy City, head west all the way.

The road was not easy to walk, and it made me very confused.Later, I felt chest tightness, dizziness, and sleepiness, and fell asleep before I knew it.When he was shaken awake, he realized that he had already arrived in a city.

Because it was not yet dawn, there were basically no people in the city.I saw the watchman walking by in the distance.

I rubbed my eyes and looked confusedly at Master Zhang who woke me up.

"Brother Ji, this is Mocheng. We have to leave the customs right now, and we can only say goodbye to you here."

I froze for a moment, and slowly reacted.Jump out of the car and bow to him. "Thanks to Master Zhang and everyone for taking care of us all the way, Ji Qing is very grateful. Let's say goodbye and hope everyone will cherish it!"

Everyone waved their hands to say goodbye to me, and then moved away from me with things, and disappeared from my sight after a while.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and he couldn't help pulling his clothes to wrap himself tightly.Autumn is slowly coming, and it seems that we need to find a chance to add some clothes, otherwise we don't know how it will freeze.

Looking around, there is only a light every dozens of steps, and it is so dim that I can't even see the road clearly.And I'm not familiar with the place, it seems that I can only ask someone after dawn.

After making up his mind, he found a place to shelter from the wind, took out the clothes in his bag and put them on his body to keep out the cold.Because of the unfamiliar environment, I didn't dare to sleep. I just opened my eyes and watched the surrounding situation vigilantly.

The appearance here is not as desolate and desolate as the people in Luoyang said. On the contrary, it may be because it is located on the border, and it is Daye's face to the outside world anyway, so the rectification is not bad.The houses are tidy and the streets are clean. Except that they are not as magnificent as Luoyang, there is not much difference in other aspects.

I don't know how long it took, but the genius began to be gray and about to light up.Vendors also started to set up stalls, and shops slowly opened their doors.

I asked an old noodle seller for the address of Linglong Inn, and then followed the direction he pointed to.After finding it, I found that it was a small inn. It was still early and the door had not yet opened.

After thinking about it, he still raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After a long time, the door opened with a "squeak", and the man who looked like a second child yawned and looked at me.I smiled and said, "Excuse me."

He rolled his eyes, "The shop is not open yet. If you want to eat, please come back later. If you want to stay, please come back after opening." As he said that, he was about to close the door.

"Hey", I hastily stepped in with one foot to stop his movement, and said, "I'm here to find someone!"

He stopped and stared at me impatiently. It seemed that this man was about to wake up. "In our store, besides me, I am the cook and shopkeeper. Who are you looking for?"

His expression was very fierce, which made me a little scared.Unconsciously, he swallowed his saliva, and said softly, "I'm looking for Yang Ziyu."

Seeing that he seemed to be petrified on the spot, I cautiously added, "He said he would wait for me here."

Xiao Er's face changed, it seemed a little pale.He seemed to be puzzled, looked at me up and down several times, but still didn't speak.Instead, someone came down from upstairs, a middle-aged fat man.Seeing him in a daze, he walked over unhappily, and slapped the second brother on the shoulder, scaring him out of his wits.

"Talking here so early in the morning?" the shopkeeper said unhappily.

Xiaoer scratched his head and looked back at him helplessly, the shopkeeper, this young master said that he was the one Young Master Yang was waiting for. "Speaking and pointing at me.

The shopkeeper glanced at me, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Isn't he waiting for Mrs. Yang? Why is he a man?"

Seeing them confused, I don't want to explain too much.Yang Ziyu said that his home is in Mocheng, but he didn't tell me the exact address, instead he asked me to come to Linglong Inn.It must be that he has a lot of trust in these two people.

So he stretched his hand into his bosom and took out a silver bracelet.It is carved with small and complicated peach blossom patterns, which is very beautiful.Handing the bracelet in front of them, he said with a smile: "I still have things to go first, please help me to hand this son over to Yang Ziyu, and tell him that I have been here."

The shopkeeper's eyes shone sharply from a bracelet, and his eyes were firmly fixed on me.On the other hand, Xiao Er didn't seem to know much, but seeing the shopkeeper's excited expression, he also became interested in the things in my hand.Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, he picked up the bracelet from my hand and took a closer look.Seeing him take the things, I felt relieved, smiled at the two of them, turned around and left.

I only heard a reprimand, "What is your identity, you can touch this thing?!" There was a voice behind him, but it turned out that it was the shopkeeper who chased after him.Although he was fat, he didn't feel out of breath after running so fast.And the eyes are full of light and piercing.

"Where are you going?" he asked me, "Why don't you just go to the inn and have a rest, I'll go find Young Master Yang."

I waved my hands again and again, "No, no need, I just came here to return the things to him." After a pause, I said, "Tell him, I'm sorry for him." After finishing speaking, I didn't pay any attention to the shopkeeper. To persuade him to stay, he only smiled apologetically and turned to leave.

His back was scorching, he seemed to be looking at me all the time.

After asking the way to Mocheng Lord's Mansion, he made three detours and nine detours, and only found it when the sun had moved to the center.Hungry and thirsty, he almost passed out.

Four uniformed soldiers were guarding the gate, holding weapons and not looking sideways.It looks very mighty.I was timid, took a deep breath and walked forward, and said to No.1 on the left: "Master Jun, is Prince Yi in the mansion?"

As soon as the words came out, all four of them looked at me in unison.My legs trembled suddenly, and I almost ran away.With a froze smile, he continued: "It's also fine if Shizi is here."

Their eyes made me feel like I was a monster.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for the lord?" Finally, someone came out to save me, preventing me from continuing to sing a one-man show alone.

"Master Jun, please let me know. My name is Ji Qing'er, and I'm from Prince Yi's Mansion in Luoyang. My concubine asked me to bring some things to the prince and the prince." I made up a random reason and reported it.When they heard that they were people from the palace, their guarded expressions became slightly lessened.But still cautiously said: "Then you wait here, I will pass on."

I nodded and watched his figure disappear around the corner.Not daring to continue to look at other people, he turned around and looked at the surrounding buildings. Before he could take a closer look, the previous military master left and returned.

"Come with me." He spoke concisely and led me into the main mansion. After turning two long corridors, I saw a room in the middle of the courtyard. The prince stood in front of the room, staring carefully at the direction I came from.When he saw me, his face changed slightly.

He was dressed in homely clothes, his temples were slightly whiter, and his majestic aura remained unchanged.Seeing me, the seriousness on his face eased a little, and a warm smile appeared.

My eye sockets became hot, and without thinking about it, I threw myself into his arms.Just as if she was a daughter in her father's arms, pouring out the grievances she had suffered to her father.From getting married and being robbed to being unable to return to the palace, from leaving Li's mansion to tidying up things and going to Mocheng alone, the clothes on the prince's chest were wet with tears, he listened, caressing my law with one hand, and comforting me with a gentle tone .
