Leaning on the Red Chamber.
According to my thinking, as the name implies, there should be quite a number of bright red colors behind the front and back of the building. But who would have thought that on the spot, the two lanterns hanging under the eaves of the building would be red, causing my Little Fishdemon to be somewhat disappointed.
Because of Jing Yao's insistence, Hu Meng and I changed our appearances and disguised ourselves as two teenagers. We followed him into the building with big strides.
It was just a small side yard, but inside and outside it were two different scenes.
In an extremely spacious hall, the candlelight was dim and the red gauze fluttered in the wind. All sorts of women were shuttling through it like colored butterflies, drinking wine and playing around, flirting and flirting with each other. This scene was everywhere.
I immediately reacted. This red house was indeed the "brothel" that appears frequently in novels. No wonder when Liniang spoke, her eyes dimmed. No wonder her foresight was so great. Cough cough, well, if Hu Meng and I were to visit this place alone without any concealment, it would definitely not be good …
"Young masters, are you three new here?"
A middle-aged lady with heavy makeup came over. She wore a red dress that was very eye-catching. As she spoke, she scanned the three of us from top to bottom with a look as if she was sizing up all the goods.
Jing Yao didn't say much. He raised his hand and a silver ingot appeared, "Come to a quiet room."
"Oh oh oh, this young master is so generous!" A quiet private room, right? I have everything in this red house. As long as you have money, come, come! Young Masters, please follow me. "
Along the way, I naturally did not hesitate to look left and right. I looked at those enchanting ladies, at those extravagant decorations, and at those bright red lights, green wine, paper, and golden flowers …
This was a completely different world. It was rare for someone to come here, and if he didn't read enough books, how could he?
Hu Meng seemed to have the same idea, but her reaction was much more direct than mine. Her eyes were wide open as she looked left and right. From time to time, she would raise her sleeves to cover her mouth as she exclaimed in a very cute manner.
The middle-aged lady led us to a private room at the end of the second floor. She ordered some people to serve food and waved her fan in an extremely charming manner as she asked, "I wonder what kind of food the three young masters like? "I'll go call her then. Speaking of the girls in this building, it can be said that they are like a fish in the water, a goose that falls before the moon, a beautiful flower that shines before the moon …"
Jing Yao waved his hand and mercilessly interrupted her boasting. He coldly said two words: "No need." After he had finished speaking, he lowered his head and picked up the teacup, not drinking it. It was unknown what he was thinking.
I thought this woman would be stuck with her for a while longer, but who knew that she just smiled and wanted to leave. I remembered why I came today, so I looked into her eyes and asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, is there a young master Jiang who lives here?"
The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and laughed, "Yo, young master, we are all here for the young masters. "As for whether or not he lives here often, that is not something we can control …"
The woman's expression changed slightly, her flattering smile faded, and her eyes gradually lost focus. She said, "It is indeed a young master Jiang. He has already been living here for almost ten days. He is in the Lingbo Pavilion behind us."
I pulled Hu Meng and was about to jump out of the window to look for that Lingbo Pavilion, but I didn't expect to be caught by Jing Yao. His brows slightly creased, disapproval flashing through his black eyes. "What are you guys doing?"
I didn't understand. "Go find that Young Master Jiang."
"Here …" He thought for a moment, then suddenly changed his tone and said, "I'll go with you."
Well, one more is the same.
I nodded my head. Suddenly, I found that the fingers of my left hand were still in his hand. I wanted to pull them back …
There was no response.
Even after two attempts, there was still no response.
Three times...
I felt cold sweat trickle down my forehead.
However, it was clear that Dao Friend Jing Yao did not mind. He continued to hold on tightly and his long and narrow black phoenix eyes slightly hooked up. With a gentle voice, he said "Let's go" and pulled me out of the window.
It was not difficult to find the Lingbo Pavilion.
Along the way, what made me feel really uncomfortable, other than Hu Meng's gaze which contained an indescribable accusation, was the fact that I was somehow eaten by someone else — cough, cough, no, a qilin.
Could it be to test the taste of the sashimi?
Thinking of this possibility, I couldn't help but shiver and ignore Hu Meng's resentful gaze. I only pretended that I didn't know anything as I looked towards the man who was raising his glass nonstop.
This … this must be the young master Jiang that Liniang was referring to?
Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be full of scholarly aura. Looking at his appearance, he looked delicate and pretty. It was no wonder that Lady Li fell in love with him. She was not the only one …
Behind the two floor-to-ceiling screens embroidered with all sorts of lifelike birds, a young woman gracefully walked out.
Clouds slightly loose, thin application of makeup, a unique charm. She came to Young Master Jiang's side with a long skirt and a light green silk robe. She was immediately embraced by him and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, can I sing another song with you?"
This scene stunned me — not because of her flirtatious demeanor, but because this woman dressed in a gorgeous costume in front of me was clearly a demoness as well. However, the demonic aura on her body was extremely faint, as if it was suppressed by some sort of artifact. If her cultivation was any lower or her mind was unstable, she probably wouldn't be able to detect it.
Young Master Jiang did not refuse. He only raised his head to drink another cup of wine before saying in a hoarse voice, "Sing."
The woman smiled and walked behind the screen. She took out a zither and placed it on the table. She played it twice and was about to lovingly sing a song when she suddenly stood up.
Jing Yao opened the window and revealed himself without concealing anything. He looked at her expressionlessly, then turned around and took a step back.
The woman's expression changed drastically. She first looked at the bewildered young master Jiang and seemed to be hesitating. However, she still stomped her feet and chased after him.
Seeing that both their figures had disappeared, Hu Meng and I jumped into the house through the window.
Young Master Jiang didn't seem to care at all about our strange appearance. He only sized us up for a moment before lowering his eyes to drink.
I took a step forward, cupped my hands, and asked with a smile, "Is this Young Master Jiang from the Jiang manor in the east of town?"
The young man raised his head and slowly put down the wine cup in his hand. His bloodshot eyes were clearly on guard as he asked, "Who are you?"
I still smiled and said, "We came from the east. We were originally passing through, but …" After pausing for a moment, he continued, "We ran into a relative who was married here. After hearing her story, we were quite confused, so we came here to ask."
"You all … "You guys …"
Young Master Jiang stuttered for a long time, but was unable to say anything. Instead, he frowned and grabbed the wine cup again. He raised his hand as if he wanted to drink another mouthful, but his hand was trembling.
"Young Master Jiang," I said, suppressing my smile, "For what reason do you insist that Li Niang go down to the hall?"
"What reason?" He threw the glass to the ground and sneered, "Since you are her relatives, you shouldn't know better than me? You actually dare to come here as lobbyists? "
Even so, I could see it clearly. A faint light flashed in his eyes, which seemed to be intoxicated with alcohol, but then dimmed down, and instead raised his voice to a higher pitch, as if to himself: "She threatened me with saving her life and wanted me to marry her. Did she think that she could confuse me just like that? Her malicious intentions … "Humph …"
I sighed. "Young Master Jiang, did Liniang treat you sincerely? How come you can't see clearly after spending so many years with her?"
"Really?" Young Master Jiang grabbed the jug of wine with one hand and stood up shakily as he mumbled, "How can a demon have sincerity? "This is really hilarious, hahaha …"
These words sounded strange. Why couldn't the demons have any true feelings?
I curled my lips, too lazy to discuss this profound problem with the drunkard. "So, young master Jiang, are you insisting on giving her up?"
"Hugh!" "Of course!" Young Master Jiang staggered a few steps forward, then suddenly said, "I'm a human and she's a demon. I won't stop even if I don't give up on her. Don't tell me you're waiting for her to eat me?"
I looked at his angry expression and sighed in my heart. "Liniang doesn't eat people."
The cultivation of the Grass and Wood Race was even more arduous than that of the other races. As a result, they were more devoid of desire and abiding by the laws of the heavens, standing apart from the rest. If it weren't for the fact that Liniang's heart was moved by the mortal world, she probably wouldn't have stayed in this world for long.
"Go go!" All of you are in the same boat, so of course you would say that. " He coldly snorted, his tone turning more urgent. With a sinister look on his face, he said, "I'll tell you, you go back and tell her to quickly scram for me! The farther the better! This young master does not lack beauties by my side, and in the future, I will definitely not lack wives that serve me. If she doesn't scram, this young master will have the Taoist come to take her in, skin her, and burn her bones to see if she can still come out and lie in the future … "
Even I felt a little disheartened after hearing this. I just felt that Liniang had entrusted someone else as her responsibility.
On the side, even Hu Meng, who was always easy to talk to, stopped smiling and frowned.
Right at this moment, a faint sigh came from outside the window, "So you actually despise me so much in your heart. Could it be that there is nothing left of our previous couple relationship?"
I turned my head and saw that outside the half-opened window, a slender female figure appeared. She was dressed in plain clothes and had black hair flowing down like a waterfall. Her face was as pale as snow and on the verge of collapse.
Young Master Jiang's body swayed, and the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. The fine wine within the jug spilled out, and a fragrant smell immediately wafted into the air. He quickly took a few steps towards the window, and just as his finger was about to reach the window sill, he suddenly stopped. With a cold expression, he raised his finger and said sternly: "You actually dare to have any face, appearing in front of me?!"
Liniang gave a sad smile, her eyes full of sadness, "Why would I not dare? "Minister Jiang, you're touching your heart and saying that besides hiding your background, what have I done to you?"
Young Master Jiang gritted his teeth as the bloodshot look in his eyes deepened. "You are a demon, and I am a human. This is what makes you feel the most sorry for me!"
When Liniang heard him say so, she felt as if she had been stabbed in the vitals and almost couldn't stand up anymore. She took a step back, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice, "Fine, since it's like this, then tomorrow at three minutes past tomorrow, come back to the Jiang manor and I'll give you an explanation!"
According to my thinking, as the name implies, there should be quite a number of bright red colors behind the front and back of the building. But who would have thought that on the spot, the two lanterns hanging under the eaves of the building would be red, causing my Little Fishdemon to be somewhat disappointed.
