Chapter 12 The Undeliberate Disaster
The next morning, the sun rose and the West Lake surface sparkled.
Qin Mo yawned lazily, and he was pulled up by Lin Bao.
While wearing clothes slowly, Qin Mo complained.
"It's not okay to sleep in? You don't have to find a job so early, right?"
After yawning, Qin Mohan complained vaguely.
"It's still early? If you keep sleeping, the sun is going to set the mountain again. Brother Mo, you used to go up the mountain to collect herbs, but you got up before dawn..."
While urging Qin Mo, Lin Bao said.
The two of them had some breakfast randomly and walked towards Hangzhou City, intending to find out if there was any suitable work for them.
The streets in the city were already full of people, and they were so lively.
Shortly after they arrived at the downtown area, they saw the yamen runners in the Hangzhou government office and walked up the street in groups.
Immediately afterwards, there were sounds of gongs ringing from the entire streets of Hangzhou City.
"Dangdang..."
There were gongs ringing everywhere on the streets and even the entire Hangzhou city, and it was a whole lot.
Qin Mo and Lin Bao saw that the street was bustling and didn't know what was going on. They came to a middle-aged man setting up a noodle stall to ask.
"Uncle, what are the happy events in the city today? It was so lively in the early morning, and the yamen runners were yelling everywhere, what happened?"
He approached the stall owner and asked politely.
"Oh, you are polite, you don't know yet, a great happy event."
The middle-aged man who set up a noodle stall saw Qin Moli for a while, and quickly nodded and smiled.
"Today is the birthday of the Empress. Our Emperor of Ming Dynasty issued an edict to pardon the world and celebrate the whole country. The people of the whole city of Hangzhou Prefecture will celebrate the birthday of the Empress today."
"At the morning of the morning, the prefect Wang issued a notice that all brothels in Hangzhou City would perform programs to celebrate their birthdays for the Queen. I heard that they would also have to choose a courtesan."
The middle-aged man said with a joyful face.
"No wonder it's so lively. It turns out that we are celebrating the Queen's birthday. We can't find a job today. Why not just stroll around and join in the fun on the street?"
Qin Mo said to Lin Bao with a smile.
"Okay, I'm out anyway."
After all, they are all young people, and Lin Bao is only one year younger than Qin Mo, and they all love the excitement.
So the two of them wandered around the streets casually and watched the fun.
The streets were decorated with lights and colorful lights, and brothels of all sizes were even more joyful as the New Year, and the sound of firecrackers came everywhere on the streets.
On the street, all the iron arresters from the Hangzhou government office were dispatched, wearing black robes and knives hanging around their waists.
The arrogant Jinyiwei, who are usually arrogant, is also walking neatly on the street, holding embroidered spring swords, majesticly scanning the pedestrians on the street.
On such an important day, these guys who eat the Ming Dynasty's official meal naturally dare not slacken.
The streets were getting bustling with pedestrians everywhere, with gongs and drums, firecrackers, and noise, and the whole city of Hangzhou was boiling.
Qin Mo and Lin Bao were wandering around aimlessly on the street, looking here and there, the two were very happy.
After watching the fun all the way, it was unknowingly, and Qin Mo and Lin Bao ate some food in a restaurant in the city, and then they planned to go to West Lake.
When Qin Mo was on the street, he heard a lot of people talking about it. Tonight's courtesan competition was held on West Lake.
Although both of them are young, they are not qualified to go up the flower boat, and they cannot see the performances of famous brothels on the flower boat.
However, Qin Mo thought it was also good to be able to go to the outside of the Courtesan selection competition to see the talent performances of the other girls.
On the street, there are lights and colorful decorations everywhere, red and green silk, and ribbons are hanging on every house on the street. Every time you pass by a brothel art garden, you can hear the cheerful sound of silk and bamboo.
As the crowd walked a long way towards West Lake, Qin Mo and the others walked and stopped, and it took more than an hour to go. The sky was getting darker and it was almost night.
Under the eaves of houses on both sides of the street, lanterns were hung up, brightly lit, crowds were coming and going, and it was very lively.
"Hey! Brother, what are you looking back? Are you still thinking about the little girl who performed singing and dancing in the brothel just now? Hehe..."
After walking for a while, Lin Bao saw Qin Mo looking back from time to time to look behind, and he joked with Qin Mo, and he shouted at Qin Mo with a smile.
"I don't have it... The little girl is very immature and has no interest in her."
Seeing Lin Bao teasing him, Qin Mo quickly defended himself.
"But I feel that someone is always staring at me behind me. I feel like someone is staring at me before, and it's strange."
He turned around and looked at the bustling crowd behind him, and Qin Mo only saw a crowd of people.
"There are people everywhere! Are you too sensitive, right?"
Lin Bao also looked up at the back and saw nothing strange, so he said.
After walking for a while, Qin Mo and Lin Bao stopped in front of a brothel called "Wanqing Pavilion" and watched.
Wanqing Pavilion can be regarded as a relatively famous brothel in Hangzhou City. It is said that last year, there was a top girl named Yu Yan in Wanqing Pavilion and was chosen as the courtesan.
Therefore, the name of "Wanqing Pavilion" is quite resounding.
At this moment, a tall platform was set up in front of the gate of Wanqing Pavilion, with bright red carpets on it.
A woman wearing a pink floral dress, about fifteen or sixteen, was performing on stage.
Singing and dancing, the sound of silk and bamboo, the woman's figure was like a soft willow branch, constantly flipping and moving on the stage.
At this moment, the front of the stands was almost filled with spectators, with black and heads all over, almost standing on the entire street.
The woman danced in one go, and countless cheers, applause and cheers continued.
Qin Mo and Lin Bao were crowded in the crowd to watch the performance. Although they were just teenagers from small places, they didn't know much about dance or music.
But at this moment, the two of them were quite happy to see.
At this moment, on the east side of the street, among the crowded crowds, a gorgeous carriage slowly came toward this side.
In front of the carriage, a strong man was wearing a black cloak and riding on a tall horse, slowly leading the way for the carriage step by step.
Behind the gorgeous carriage, there were also several tall and strong men riding horses, and there were also several tall and strong men sitting on the horse.
The people watching the fun on the street were so crowded that the carriages and the strong men riding horses could only move forward slowly and carefully.
Qin Mo and Lin Bao, who were standing in the crowd watching the fun, just looked back and then turned their eyes to the performance stage set up by Wan Qingge.
After all, there is nothing to see about the carriage, and the top girls in Wan Qingge are rare to see them.
Just as this carriage squeezed into the crowd and wanted to pass through this street.
An unexpected thing happened suddenly.
"Dong!"
On the stage of Wanqing Pavilion, a melodious sound of piano sounded, which was extremely pleasant.
Everyone in the audience was refreshed and happy to hear it.
At this moment, the windows of a room in the attic suddenly exploded.
"Boom!"
Two windows rolled down in the air.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen black figures flew down from the second floor of the attic of Wanqing Pavilion.
One of the figures fell down from the second floor.
The man was as fast as lightning, stepping on the shoulders or heads of the crowd on the street, and rushed towards the carriage.
Before Qin Mo could come to his senses, he felt something stomping on his head.
"kill!"
Immediately afterwards, a loud shout came from Qin Mo's head, like thunder rolling in the sky.
