The thirty-seventh flower wine meets an old friend (Part 1)
Night fell quietly in Qibao County. People who had been busy during the day returned home one after another with their families. Blocks fell into silence. At the same time, the famous "Yinghua Lane" in the county became extremely noisy, as if deliberately trying to break the night scene.
It's quite quiet. The shops on this street only open their doors at night, and they are all doing business related to nightlife. These shops are like gold sales dens. As long as the customers have money, they can satisfy all the customers' needs.
Desires and needs fill an empty night with sounds and pleasures.
Generally, people who come to this street for shopping are very familiar with it and know what kind of things are done here, but today there is an exception. She knows nothing about this street and it is her first time here.
She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a pink dress, with a sword wrapped in black cloth hanging from her waist, her face covered with a veil, holding a white horse in her hand, walking along the road.
On the street filled with lights, her beautiful eyes wandered left and right. She looked at the brothel and inn where houses and people came and went, her eyes full of curiosity.
This girl is called Li Zhenzhen, and she once had a relationship with Zhao Zheng.
A few days ago, she had sent the wronged hunter to a safe place. This time she came back just to meet the shopkeeper sister who she liked very much, to say thank you to her, and to make friends.
The reason why she settled in Qibao County was just passing through, staying for one to two days and then leaving.
She has a special liking for red, she likes to wear red clothes, and she also likes the red sword in her hand. However, in order to avoid being noticed, she had no choice but to put on clothes of other colors, even the scabbard of the sword.
A layer of cloth. When she was teaching the police officers, she had covered her face with a scarf. The only distinctive feature of her body was the red color. After changing into the red clothes, she no longer had to worry about anything.
Along the way, she wanted to find an inn to stay, but she unexpectedly came to this land of smoke and willows. At first, she wanted to turn around and leave, but driven by curiosity, she stayed and planned to find out.
, and see what these places do.
She comes from a well-known family and has a very strict upbringing. Although she knows about places like brothels, no one has ever told her what these places do. She has wanted to find out the answer to this a long time ago, and today she takes this opportunity
, just enough to satisfy your curiosity.
Of course, she just wanted to uncover this mystery and had no other plans.
"Little girl, I saw you walking all the way, looking around, are you looking for something?" A heavily made-up madam was soliciting customers on the street, stopped in front of Li Zhenzhen, and asked with a giggle, "My restaurant is famous.
There's everything in Xinglou, maybe there's just what you're looking for."
"I'm looking for a dead man's head, are there any?" Li Zhenzhen glanced sideways at the madam and asked lightly.
"The girl is really good at joking. What's there to find in the head of a dead person?" The old madam was well-informed. Seeing that the girl had a sword hanging on her waist and seemed to be difficult to provoke, she backed away and stepped aside, not trying to cause trouble again.
"Humph, you don't even have a dead head, and you dare to block Miss Ben's path." Li Zhenzhen glanced at the old madam who looked like a white paper with red cheeks, and led the white horse over.
Along the way, people came up to talk to Li Zhenzhen one after another. A few brave people even took Li Zhenzhen's idea and asked Li Zhenzhen if she wanted to "sell herself". Although Li Zhenzhen had her face covered, she couldn't see her face clearly.
, but just based on her exposed eyes and the outline of her face, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she must be good-looking, not to mention her figure is very beautiful, and she can charm men just by her figure.
Li Zhenzhen was accosted by many people, and some even made rude remarks, which made her very angry. She almost drew a sword and cut off the noses of those people. She suppressed her anger without having an attack, turned a corner, and stayed away from the Yinghua Lane.
Although her people have left, they have not given up the idea of going to those places of fireworks to find out. However, the identity of this daughter's family is too troublesome. After arriving at the brothel, they will be mistaken for the "wandering warblers" in the brothel. This is terrible.
no.
She slowed down, her mind was racing, and she soon came up with a good idea, that is - a woman disguised as a man!
A long time ago, Li Zhenzhen had heard some stories about heroines disguising themselves as men when traveling around the world. She had been fascinated by this for a long time. Before she ran away from home, she ordered a set of men's clothes in advance, which came in handy now.
Li Zhenzhen made up her mind and asked some friendly passers-by about the location of the inn. She went to the inn and opened a room. She entered the room and opened her luggage. She took out a set of straight-skirted dark clothes and changed into a new suit.
Women's clothing. Wearing men's clothing, she turned around in front of the bronze mirror a few times and found it very interesting. Changing clothes was not enough, so she untied two pieces of hair, tied them up with a hairband, and tied a simple man's hair.
Style hairstyle, now it’s finally a man’s look.
Li Zhenzhen looked to the left in the bronze mirror, then looked again, then raised her hand to touch her slightly bulging chest, and couldn't help but frown.
Although she was wearing men's clothing, she was not satisfied with her appearance because anyone could tell that she was a girl disguised as a man. Even a blind man could tell her gender by the scent of her body.
"The male rabbit's feet are twitching, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurry. Two rabbits are walking next to each other. How can they tell whether I am a male or a female?" It seems to be bluffing. A woman is a woman, dressed in euphemisms and charming in every possible way, even if she wears
You can't become a man by wearing men's clothing, there are some things you can't pretend to be.
"Others say that women are so light when they dress up as men, so why don't I look like me at all?" Li Zhenzhen felt depressed and pouted in the mirror, "But I also changed my clothes and my hairstyle.
What else can I do? Do you want me to find a brush and paint my face black?"
Li Zhenzhen thought hard for a long time, but still couldn't come up with any good ideas. Unwilling to do so, she could only cover her face with a scarf again to deceive herself. She left the inn wearing men's clothes and returned to Yinghua Lane.
, while walking, I secretly looked at the eyes of the people around me and observed their reactions.
Soon the "Liu Ying" and the Madam who were responsible for soliciting customers saw Li Zhenzhen. Without exception, these people saw through Li Zhenzhen's disguise, but no one said it because they mistakenly thought that Li Zhenzhen was a special guest who liked "feminine style".
This kind of special guests are easier to entertain than men and they pay less. Of course, they have no reason to refuse, so they immediately start soliciting them, saying "Young Master" to the left and "Young Master" to the right, calling them very affectionate.
When Li Zhenzhen heard that others were calling her Young Master, she just thought that her face scarf had worked. She was so happy that she put her hands behind her back and followed one of the old madams away triumphantly.
The madam was very enthusiastic and led Li Zhenzhen to the largest brothel on the street - Baihua Pavilion.
Li Zhenzhen just wanted to satisfy her curiosity and see what was going on in the brothel. It didn't matter which brothel she went to, so she followed the madam into the Baihua Pavilion.
…
Same time, different place.
Zhao Zheng and Shen Luoxia walked side by side on the night road, walking slowly, as if they were wandering. After the two left Laifu Market, they walked all the way here, and the sky gradually became dark. Zhao Zheng and Shen Luoxia walked side by side on the night road. He was visiting the city today, and he was originally in a good mood. However, after the incident of throwing money at the stall just now, his good mood was completely thrown out the window.
"Sister, I'm not in the mood to go shopping anymore, let's go home." Zhao Zheng suggested.
"Not in the mood? Why not in the mood? Is it because of what happened at Laifu Market just now?" Shen Luoxia asked again and again. She was already used to those things, and her interest in playing did not diminish.
"Well, it's because of those things." Zhao Zheng said calmly.
"How can that be done? If you encounter something like this and become depressed, I'm afraid you will never be able to laugh again. The more unhappy you encounter, the more you have to find some fun for yourself. This is your sister My tips for getting along in life." Shen Luoxia explained.
Upon hearing the word "fun", Zhao Zhengyi frowned and asked, "Where can we go to have fun?"
"Why bother asking? Of course it's a brothel."
"I think we'll forget about it today, let's wait for another day." Zhao Zheng said with a dumb smile.
"No other day, just today. The more you are in a bad mood, the more you should go to that kind of place to have fun. It's getting late now, and the Baihua Pavilion in Yinghua Lane must have become lively. Let's take a quick two steps. Go there and find a good room. I know a geisha who has a good piano voice. Let her play a cheerful song for us siblings. I guarantee that you will feel better after listening to it." Shen Luoxia smiled. Pulling Zhao Zheng's sleeve, he hurried away in the direction of Baihua Pavilion.;
