The three fast horses went upstream, and at the last moment when the city gate was about to close, they entered Luoye City again.
There is a curfew at night, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets at night. Of course, the curfew is only effective for ordinary people. Some wealthy families still play music every night and stay up all night, but no one will take care of it.
No matter in any era, there are always some people who do not abide by the rules. In other words, no matter in any era, the rules are only valid for some people.
In this case, it is not difficult to find the location of Huang's house. It is always a good place to find a house with singing, dancing and music.
Outside Huang's house, Cheng Dalei found the sneaky Lin Shaoyu.
"Master, why are you here too?"
"Hush, be silent!" Cheng Dalei waved his hand and asked, "What's going on inside?"
"Miss Liu's family is inside. Today is Mr. Huang's birthday party, and many big families in the city are here."
Looking in the direction of Huang's house, it is also a very big house.
"How strong is the Huang family's guard?" This sentence was asked by Mencius Yun.
"The Huang family has about seventy or eighty servants, and there are more than a dozen people who specialize in caring for the home."
A family like the Huang family is very similar to the company that Cheng Dalei knew in his previous life. The family has thousands of acres of fertile land, a long-term worker who specializes in farming, a bookkeeper who takes care of the accounts, a housekeeper who manages the family's affairs, and maids and servants who are responsible for feeding the family.
There are horses, those responsible for cooking, and those responsible for growing flowers, and of course there are also those responsible for looking after homes and homes, which are very similar to security guards.
After all, because of people like Cheng Dalei, the public security in this era is not very good.
There are only four people on Cheng Dalei's side now, but after experiencing two battles, with less defeating more, Cheng Dalei didn't feel embarrassed at all.
The key is how to escape after successfully robbing someone.
"Come on, follow me to see that path."
Tonight, the Huang family is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, singing and dancing.
The courtyard is filled with the Eight Immortals table, and it is packed with guests, all of whom are familiar with it. Today is Huang Yuanwai’s fiftieth birthday. In this era when the average age is less than forty, it deserves a good celebration. Even the servants have their own place, but in
A place in a corner.
On the stage is the music troupe raised by the Huang family. They are performing songs and dances, and there is a lot of laughter.
Cheng Dalei has been in this world for a while. According to him, this world is very backward, with backward technology, backward economy, backward food, backward culture... So he feels that everyone in this era is living in dire straits, boring and boring.
spend every day.
This idea is incorrect.
Cheng Dalei is currently in contact with mostly people living at the bottom. For them, life is naturally terrible, no matter what era they are in. But for the nobles of this era, life is actually quite colorful.
There are maids to take care of daily life, including changing clothes, eating, and even going to the toilet. In summer, there is no air conditioning, but someone shakes the fan. In winter, there is no heating, someone makes a stove, and there are no cars and high-speed trains. Of course, there is someone to carry the sedan chair. There is no Internet or live broadcast, and there is a raised Leban at home.
They perform songs and dances face to face. There are no games. You can drive dogs and eagles out to hunt. In addition, there are brothels and poetry clubs. There are bed-warming girls in teenagers to keep them gentle and well-behaved. Don't even think about the princess' illness.
Compared with these, there is no chili to eat, information is backward, and you have to use a horse-drawn carriage to buy things, etc., it is too insignificant.
Just like today's birthday banquet of the Huang family, there are songs and dances performed by a band in the courtyard. Talents who are familiar with the house gather together, accompanied by singers invited by the brothel. They occasionally compose a poem and have a few drinks. The female family members are there.
It was also lively today. We gathered together and discussed about female celebrities, Rouge, and whose son was the most handsome.
Those who can enter the lobby are all important guests except Huang. Everyone is seated separately, leaving an open space in the middle.
The person performing the dance in the open space now is Liu Zhi. No, she should be called by her flower name - Rouge Hong.
Wearing a red dress with gauze hanging on her face, her skirt flew up when she danced, revealing a pair of three-inch golden lotuses.
This is a dance that came from Jingzhou. It is said that Emperor Dawu liked it the most. If the superiors are good at it, the subordinates will imitate it. Luoye City in Youzhou is more remote, and the dance has changed a bit since it was introduced here. And Liu Zhi has only just learned this dance.
I have been dancing for a short time, and my movements are far from being proficient.
But at such a young age and as beautiful as a flower, just standing motionless in front of her is charming enough, not to mention dancing with her hands and feet, and stretching out her twenty-eight-year-old body, which naturally makes her even more charming.
.
The people watching the dance drank wine and tapped the table with their hands, keeping in tune with the music. By this time, everyone was a little tipsy, and their words were not as restrained as when they were sober.
"Huang Yuanwai is so proud. It's not easy to see Yan Zhihong on weekdays. Today, it's only thanks to Huang Yuanwai that I'm so lucky."
"This woman still has some taste for dancing. Today I would like to invite everyone to taste it and talk about the next wine."
"The first thing about Huiyan Tower is naturally different from those vulgar and tacky ones. These jade feet are worth a lot of money."
"If you like it, Mr. Wang, let this woman accompany you tonight."
"Oh, I don't dare, I don't dare. A gentleman will not win someone's love. But in a few days, there will be a banquet at my house. If I can please Huang Yuanwai's face, if I invite this woman to my home, I will have to accept Huang Yuanwai's affection."
Accompanied by the sound of music, Rouge Hong danced one after another until her toes ached and her calves became sore. After drinking another glass of wine, she was invited by the old lady to leave the hall and come to a small room.
"Girl, please rest here for a while. When the birthday party is over, I will send someone to take you back."
The old lady put down a letter of money and left. This should be regarded as her appearance fee tonight.
Yan Zhihong was sitting alone in the room, and there was faint music coming from outside. She didn't know how to describe her mood, she was always a little panicked.
With a creaking sound, the door suddenly opened, and a bloated young man walked in.
This is Huang Yuanwai's eldest son, who is currently serving in the city guard. He drank a lot of wine and had a smile on his face.
"Miss Rouge, you are so handsome."
She was startled: "You, what are you going to do?"
"Haha, what else can I do? Of course I want to perform the courtesy of Zhou Gong with the girl and be a happy couple." He echoed and closed the door.
She ran out of bed and distanced herself from the man. The man was giggling, like an eagle pretending to be a chicken, and circled around the table.
Tonight, Rouge Red was already in his possession, and he didn't mind delaying it for a while to enjoy the pleasure of cat and mouse.
In this era, there are those who admire actors and actresses, and there are those who admire prostitutes. They spend a lot of money, and there are also people who cry and cry and are lovesick. But prostitutes are prostitutes after all, fourth-class untouchables. How do you say that?
, I hold you up because you are like a glass, but when I let go, you are like glass particles.
I was invited to perform in the house, and then the owner wanted me, but in the end I just paid money. This kind of thing is not even news.
At this time, the banquet outside was still going on, with lots of singing and laughter.
Suddenly, a torch fell from the sky and hit the stage, causing chaos in the orchestra that was playing.
"The Toad King is here!"
There were shouts from outside the house, followed closely by
Four fast horses entered the house and broke through the prosperity.
