Chapter 34 Unexpected people come one after another
Jue Qian gently shook her folding fan, standing as tall as a plum blossom in the snow, looking at the two of them with a clear smile.
"I heard that a new female actor's hall has opened in the capital. There is a girl from Wu who is very good at pipa. I want to go and have a look. I think you must have solved the matter at the Guang'an Marquis' Mansion, so I want to invite you to go with me. Please order two more pots.
Drinking wine is just a celebration."
Jue Qian looked at the unfamiliar black-clothed man with an indistinguishable expression beside him, and then politely invited him: "It's fate that I have met Miss Yu's friend. Why don't we go together?"
"That's not good, it's Pingkangfang after all."
Many people have mixed eyes.
Firstly, Yu Qiansi didn't want to take Jueqian to Pingkangfang, and secondly, she wanted to ask Boyi to leave immediately.
Fang wanted to refuse, but Boyi agreed calmly.
"I can't take it for granted, but when I first arrived in Chang'an, I was burdened by the worldly affairs. I really haven't had the opportunity to fully experience the prosperity of the capital."
Yu Qiansi curled her lips and sneered. Was this a different way of abusing him for being caught?
Upon hearing this, Jue Qian agreed very much, "Then we should be allowed to fulfill our friendship as landlords."
Yu Qiansi saw Jue Qian's very happy look, and she was already a little greedy for wine.
After thinking about the busyness of the past two days, I closed my eyes and comforted myself: I just went to drink a few glasses of sake and left as soon as possible. It should be fine.
Several people left the office together and headed towards Pingkangfang.
It was almost dusk, and the willow branches were dyed in rouge and slightly swayed in peach color, adding a bit of the calm and warm atmosphere of early spring.
The streets are bustling with people and bustling, but it also adds to the silence and weirdness of the three people walking together, each with their own thoughts. However, these three people have a leisurely and elegant attitude, and they all have smiles on their faces.
, the atmosphere was eerie, and pedestrians all stopped and watched.
It's not that Yu Qiansi has never been to Pingkangfang, but before that, Wuyawei always opened the way with an expressionless face and kept strangers away. For her, it was naturally a broad road with no obstacles.
At dusk, you can see red lights burning in the night in the distance. They appear one after another, covering the surrounding sky with a layer of blazing color. It gradually fades and merges into the pale purple, and then connects with the deep ink in the distant sky, like
The corner of silk cloth thrown into the red vat by a drunkard revealed an unbearable prosperity.
Before she even got close, many pink butterflies with plump sleeves rushed towards her. Among these butterflies, there were actually both male and female.
When he sees someone approaching, he flutters and dances with all his strength.
Yu Qiansi took a step forward and spun around a few times to distance himself from them. However, from time to time there were people standing on the second floor, dropping the red yarn from a high place and then pulling it back, trying to seduce the people downstairs to hold the red silk.
Leaving in search of fragrance makes the already difficult road even more difficult.
The two people behind him were even more miserable. Two good-looking young men in brocade clothes walked together, as if they had fallen into a wolf's den.
Even Jue Qian, who was as carefree as the spring breeze, froze his smile and was a little unable to resist.
The corners of Yu Qiansi's eyes twitched slightly, and then he came to his senses belatedly.
I was careless. I should have found a carriage and come back.
There are usually some private prostitutes on the streets of Pingkangfang soliciting customers. Therefore, most wealthy families will come directly by carriage and horse to avoid being provoked by the private prostitutes on the street.
Jue Qian and Boyi seemed to have realized this, and they both stared at her in annoyance.
Fortunately, the Qingxian Pavilion was extremely eye-catching, so the three of them charged forward and finally escaped from the bustle at the entrance of the square. Looking at each other again, they all looked a little embarrassed.
Boyi's plain black clothes were dotted with white powder, and it seemed that many people had rubbed balm on him. Of course, Yu Qiansi and Jue Qian were not much better.
The three of them couldn't help but smile at each other, and the eerie atmosphere that had just made people breathless instantly dissipated.
Stepping into a small song, the surroundings instantly became a little quieter. A few clumps of thin bamboos in front of the Qingxian Pavilion were dotted with red candles.
I just breathed a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect that there would be twists and turns again.
There was a lot of shouting in the alley beside the road. Yu Qiansi stepped aside to block them without even thinking, and stood in front of Jue Qian, vaguely protecting him behind her.
A woman in plain clothes dragged a person and rushed out of the alley. When she saw someone blocking the way, she was about to scold him, but when she saw the person blocking the way clearly, she staggered and stopped.
"Princess Princess?"
Although Yu Qiansi used to be extremely talented, even when Mount Tai collapsed, she lost her grace due to the unexpected events, and her tone of voice rarely fluctuated.
What kind of evil did you encounter today? You always meet these unexpected people?
The thought of the princess meeting the person behind her, plus Boyi, who is barely smart and unaware of it, is really a headache.
Boyi frowned and pulled Yu Anning over. She was breathing heavily, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
But before they could say anything, a group of slaves in green clothes carrying sticks rushed over from behind, surrounded them, and started a fight.
"Hey, are there any helpers?"
At first glance, the two men and one woman looked extraordinary in appearance. The group of people were a little short of breath at first, but when they thought that they were being justified, they started shouting again.
"I think these are not ordinary people. But you can't rob someone in the street, right?"
When Yu Qiansi heard the words "at the emperor's feet", he coughed lightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Anning felt emboldened when she saw someone supporting her.
"Sister Yu, you are here just in time! After my eldest cousin took me to Beijing, he was busy helping my second cousin with Lingyun Pavilion matters, so I planned to go find you. I also heard from the Lin Zhixian that you are good at wine, so I wanted to come to Pingkangfang to buy some.
Two bottles of wine for you."
"I didn't expect that when I passed by here, I saw that they wanted to humiliate this girl. I couldn't stand it, so I argued with them. They said that if I was dissatisfied, they would let me buy this slave."
"But I came out in a hurry and didn't bring much money. I asked them to go with me to Lingyun Pavilion in Chongrenfang to give them money, but they said they didn't know my identity or what Lingyun was, and they wouldn't let me bring it at all.
This girl left. I was worried that she would be in danger when I came back, so I thought "
Recalling the low-key carriage he encountered when he returned to Beijing, Boyi suddenly realized that it was probably the carriage that came to pick up Yu Anning from Duke Anguo's mansion.
Yu Qiansi on the side had a head as big as a bucket, "Then you can't just drag someone away like this, right? This is a private slave."
If it gets too big, I'll drag you to the official, and it will be enough for you to drink a pot of water.
Yu Anning originally had something to say to refute, but when she glanced over and saw the clear-cut man half-covered behind Yu Qiansi, her expression changed, and she suddenly stopped talking as if she had done something wrong, and buried her head in silence.
Yu Qiansi had no choice but to ask, "How much does this girl cost?"
Now it's hard to get off the tiger. If you don't buy this woman, I'm afraid if they leave on the front foot, the person on the back foot will lose his life.
Seeing that Yu Qiansi's voice was clear and she was like a talkative master, the leader narrowed his greedy eyes and said: "This little girl is really not worth a lot of money, but after all she is a slave girl bought by our Qingxian Pavilion.
, this price is just one hundred taels for you." It seemed like it was a big advantage for them.
It is definitely not easy to have a place in Pingkangfang and to prevent those who are blocking the street from approaching. The man also spoke with arrogance.
"One hundred taels? Are you crazy! A Kunlun slave only has more than twenty taels of silver!" Yu Anning was extremely angry: "You just said clearly that ten taels of silver is enough!"
Even though she was extremely angry, the once delicate and arrogant little princess had a flash of pain and depression in her expression. She no longer wanted to sign up for the Guang'an Marquis' Mansion, but she also didn't want to move out of the Anguo Gong's Mansion and cause them more trouble.
Boyi's eyebrows were solemn, with a hint of sternness, and he said: "You are just a small steward, and you pay such a high price, but you plan to enrich your own pockets?"
Unexpectedly, the man was not afraid at all. He shook his head and said arrogantly, "I don't need you to worry about it now. The people of Qingxian Hall have the final say on matters related to Qingxian Hall."
Yu Qiansi didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but today's situation was special, and he didn't want to make the matter a big deal. He touched his money bag. He had been in a hurry these past two days and didn't have much money on him. He was speechless for a while.
The princess was still in mourning, and she didn't even have any jewelry on her body. Boyi did have a lot of silver in his purse, but he was still in the punishment department.
And the person behind him.
Jue Qian seemed to understand Yu Qiansi's hesitation, and spread out his hands, looking like a moonlight.
"I just plan to come and have some sake and listen to some music. I didn't bring that much silver."
The man thought he was used to big spenders, but when he saw that this group of people were just well-dressed but couldn't even spend so much money, he felt even more frivolous for a moment.
"We agreed in advance that if we give it a moment longer, we will give out ten more taels of silver. If you can afford it, buy it as soon as possible. If you can't afford it, please don't delay the little ones from doing their work!"
Deer head, rat eyes, extremely vulgar.
Yu Qiansi snorted coldly, glanced at the word "Qingxian" again, and added Qingxian Hall to his list.
After the recent events were over, she wanted to find out who was behind the Qingxian Hall who could raise such a disgusting and cunning slave.
That little girl was quite sensible. She had been cowering with Yu Anning behind her just now. She was clearly frightened, but she still knelt down resolutely and kowtowed to Yu Anning three times.
Holding back the trembling in his words, he said: "My slave has a low status and should not be treated like this by my benefactors. Please leave as soon as possible. Please don't start another dispute over my slave."
His words are sincere and his eyes are determined. It seems that he has already thought of the worst plan and is willing to accept it calmly.
This made Yu Qiansi feel pity.
It was the time of twilight and the lights were on. Although the place was quiet and quiet, there were gradually more and more visitors. Yu Qiansi did not dare to delay any longer, nor did he dare to leave Jue Qian here and go back to get the money. He was in trouble for a while.
Just in the middle of the stalemate, with wheels turning and horses hooves clicking, a small carriage that was too complicated and heavy came with the fragrant wind, which made Boyi cough a few times.
She gently lifted the car curtain with her bare hands, and a soft voice came out: "You guys are interested, why don't you leave it to me?"
