The thirty-ninth chapter, Huajiu meets an old friend (Part 2)
Brothel. This is a word that can make a man’s heart beat faster. Whenever a man hears this word, his mind will be flooded with thoughts, and many gentle and enchanting figures will appear in his mind. Zhao Zheng is no exception. On the way here, he His heartbeat was already speeding up, and when he was really in this place, even his face felt a little feverish.
Pedestrians walking through the autumn streets were all wearing quilted clothes, but in this warm spring-like brothel, the women were wearing very few and light clothes, as if they could be seen through at a glance.
Zhao Zheng is an honest man, but the more honest a man is, the more exciting he will feel when he comes to the brothel. He stood at the door of Baihua Pavilion, scanning the room with burning eyes. When he saw the good-looking Liu Ying, he became more excited. Stay for a few seconds.
Those women attracted Zhao Zheng, and Zhao Zheng also attracted these women. There were already several women who secretly winked at Zhao Zheng behind the backs of the customers around them. Young and handsome young customers like this were in the brothel. But it's rare.
"How do you feel here?" Shen Luoxia asked with a smile.
"It's a good place. If any man says it's not good here, he must be lying." Zhao Zheng said calmly. His mood is indeed much better now. A place with many women can always make men happy.
"Because it's a good place, that's why I brought you here to see it. The life you lived in the past was too hard, and I want to help you make up for it so that you can live a more good life from now on."
"Although this kind of place is good, indulging in this kind of place will only be harmful rather than beneficial." Zhao Zheng shook his head.
"Haha, of course I know this, so I won't let you indulge in it." Shen Luoxia smiled. Her beauty is far above the vulgar powder in this brothel. Standing here, she really looks like a phoenix. Chicken flock is average.
While the two siblings were talking, the old madam from the brothel came up to her with a smile on her face and greeted Shen Luoxia warmly.
Shen Luoxia and the madam here have known each other for a long time. They chatted with each other for a few polite words, and then went straight to the topic and asked: "I wonder if Miss Haitang is busy now? If not, my sister and brother would like to invite her. Show off the sound of the piano."
"Mr. Shen, you came at the wrong time. Miss Haitang was hired by a wealthy lady who was disguised as a man. She was playing the piano for that lady." The old bustard shook the handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks in his hand. , put her very rich face close to hers, and discussed, "Why don't I ask Miss Qiuhong to play the piano for you siblings? Her piano skills have improved greatly recently, and she is already on par with Miss Haitang's."
"The rich lady disguises herself as a man? Will the rich lady come to a place like this?" Shen Luoxia was actually interested in the guests entertained by Miss Haitang.
"Haha, sister, it's not like you don't know that a store like ours is very attractive and can attract any kind of customers."
"I absolutely admit this. Your place is much more attractive than my inn." Shen Luoxia said softly, "Okay. Since Miss Haitang is accompanying other guests, let's let Miss Qiuhong play the piano for us. ."
As soon as Shen Luoxia finished speaking, another slightly cold and melancholy voice rang out: "There is no need to change people. The wealthy lady has already paid and left. I can now play the piano for Shopkeeper Shen."
The person who spoke was none other than Miss Haitang. She walked over from the other side of the lobby, her eyebrows drooping and her face expressionless. When she got closer, she handed a piece of silver to the madam. , said calmly: "This is the money paid by the wealthy lady. Old mother, please help me deliver it to the accounting office."
The rules in the brothel are extremely strict, and the homeless people are not allowed to take money for themselves.
When the madam saw the shining silver, she smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. After explaining a few words, she turned around and went to the accounting room.
Shen Luoxia is an old guest here. She has known Haitang for a long time. The two chatted for a few words and went upstairs together. Zhao Zheng always kept a low profile in front of his elders and followed him silently. He only talked to Shen Luoxia when she mentioned him. A few words.
While talking, Shen Luoxia mentioned the "rich lady" that Haitang had just entertained, and asked: "Haitang, I heard that you just entertained a distinguished guest who was disguised as a man?"
"Yes." Haitang admitted truthfully, but did not want to say more. After all, the privacy of the guests was not convenient to be disclosed casually.
"Has she been here before?"
"No, never seen it before."
"Is she pretty?"
"She has her face covered, so you can't see what she looks like, but she should be very beautiful. Anyone with a voice as sweet as an oriole must be very beautiful."
"Listening to what you said, I am becoming more and more interested in her." Shen Luoxia asked with great interest, "Did she say her name and where she lives?"
"She said it, but it turned out to be a lie at first glance. How could a person who is not even willing to show his true face tell the truth?" Haitang asked calmly.
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the door of a private room on the second floor.
Haitang pushed the door open and said calmly: "I was playing the piano in this room just now for that rich lady."
"It's a pity that she is no longer here, otherwise I would be happy to chat with her. The kind of Miss Qianjia who disguises herself as a man and comes here late at night to listen to someone playing the piano, she must be an interesting person." Shen Luoxia said and stepped in. Room.
At this moment, a figure flew onto the beam of the house as fast as lightning, setting off a breeze that blew throughout the room, and there seemed to be a hint of fragrance in it.
This figure moved very quickly and silently. An ordinary person would not have noticed it at all. But Shen Luoxia was not an ordinary person. She saw this figure out of the corner of her eye. She was an expert in Qing Gong. She could see it at a glance. Seeing that the master of this figure was very good at light work, he secretly praised it in his heart.
Shen Luoxia stopped where she was, raised her eyelids slightly, but lowered them again, pretending to be nonchalant, and walked into the house again. Haitang and Zhao Zheng also walked in, but the two of them Nothing was known about the fourth person in the house.
"Please sit down, both of you. I will play the piano for you right now." Haitang said and walked towards the Yao Qin, sat down behind the Yao Qin, took a deep breath, and placed his hands on the seven strings as thin as hair. Asked, "I wonder what music you two want to listen to?"
Shen Luoxia's mind was focused on the man in the beam, and she was not interested in listening to the piano. She turned to Zhao Zheng and asked, "Brother, is there anything you want to listen to?"
Zhao Zheng did know a few unique tunes in this game world, but he did not click on them. Instead, he smiled and said to Haitang: "You have been playing tunes for others all day long, so tonight I will make an exception. I hope you can follow the rules." You can play whatever you like, no matter what you play."
Haitang was stunned when he heard this, looked at Zhao Zheng again, and asked, "What if I don't like playing the piano at all?"
"Then there's no need to play. Silence is better than sound." Zhao Zheng said generously.
"really?"
"really."
Haitang took a deep look at Zhao Zheng, then looked at Shen Luoxia, and said: "Shopkeeper Shen, congratulations on taking in a good brother. Judging from what he just said, he must be a person who thinks about others. ."
"Haha, are you praising him because he doesn't need you to play the piano?" Shen Luoxia asked with a smile.
"No, I'm telling the truth." Haitang pondered for a while, holding the strings in her hand, "When we meet, we have wine and we teach how to pour it. In the mountains and rivers, we meet a close friend. Mr. Zhao knows how to let artists play music according to their preferences. He is a rare person. I have found a close friend, so I will play a song for my close friend today. This song was composed by me before, and I rarely play it for others, so I am showing off my shame here today."
After saying that, Haitang played with her ten fingers gently, and a faintly sad piano sound sounded. Each note touched people's hearts and aroused the listener's emotions.
Zhao Zheng felt that the sound of the piano was very pleasant, so he sat on a chair and listened silently.
Shen Luoxia listened to the music of the piano in her ears, but she was calculating in her heart the figure hidden on the beam, secretly guessing: "Who is this person, and why is he so sneaky? Could it be that Baihua Pavilion is also doing this?" A black shop operation? No, it’s unlikely. Baihua Pavilion has been operating for so many years, and there have never been rumors of customers being harmed. Since it can’t be the person arranged by Baihua Pavilion, then who could it be... I really can’t figure it out. Could it be? Are you here for me?"
Shen Luoxia couldn't figure it out, so she simply waited and watched, planning to let time reveal the answer.
After Haitang finished playing the first piece of music, Zhao Zheng applauded and praised her a few words. Haitang Yingying thanked her and played a new piece of music, but what followed was no longer her own music, but the music of her predecessors. The songs that remain.
In the sound of the piano one after another, time slowly passed, and it gradually arrived at the end of the day.
Shen Luoxia had been waiting for the person on the beam to make some move, but the man on the beam was very calm and motionless. He actually sat quietly in the narrow place like the beam for more than an hour. The man on the roof could keep her composure, but Shen Luoxia couldn't. She planned to meet the man on the beam for a while to at least understand his purpose, otherwise she would not be able to feel at ease.
If the other party was an enemy, it would be easy to hurt innocent people by using their hands and kicks, so Shen Luoxia interrupted Miss Haitang's music and said with a nonchalant smile: "Miss Haitang, you have been playing for so long. It's really hard for you." Now, you go down and have a rest. I will chat with my brother here, and we will leave after the chat."
"Then you guys chat slowly, Haitang said goodbye." Haitang stood up, saluted, rolled up her long sleeves and left.
Only Zhao Zheng and Shen Luoxia were left in the room.
Shen Luoxia held the wine glass in her hand, took a sip, and slowly raised her eyes. She still couldn't figure out the other party's details, so in line with the rules of the world of courtesy first, attack later, she asked loudly: "I don't know which friend is here. Can you repay me with ten thousand yuan?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zheng was startled. He rolled his eyes, guessed it, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, is there someone on the beam?"
Shen Luoxia didn't answer, nodded slightly, her eyes always fixed on the beams, not daring to neglect at all.
"Alas, I was discovered by you after all." The man on the beam sighed softly and made a sound as beautiful as the sound of a piano.
When the voice fell, the person also fell. No need to guess, this person was Li Zhenzhen who hid in this room first. After she landed, she took off her face towel and stuck out her tongue at Shen Luoxia and Shen Luoxia. , like a child who did something wrong.
When Zhao Zheng and Shen Luoxia saw that the missing person turned out to be Li Zhenzhen, their eyes widened, and Shen Luoxia almost spit out the wine in her mouth.
"Why is it you!?"
