Chapter 2, 3 and 9: The Death of Mei

Shunyu returned to Li'chun's courtyard, Meisun and Tian Rongcha arrived and were rewarding the guard who reported the news...

She asked them to wait outside the door, and went into the house by themselves, trying to replace them with kitsch.

The brazier is filled with thick white ash, and the remaining heat gradually dissipates. The candlelight sways and the bronze mirror of the bright goose egg-face, showing the face that has been washed after being slightly wet.

Shunyu combed her long black hair into a transparent way, and her white teeth bit a silver hairpin, skillfully wrapped her hair around her fingertips and twisted it, tied up her bun and then "inserted" the hairpin.

After taking the smoked green scarf and wearing it, he hid the broken hair scattered between his neck into the scarf. Suddenly, he paused. There were two bright red marks on his snow-white neck. It was not light or heavy, but it took some time to fade.

Shunyu barely covered her clothes, and left the God of Congregation, shook her head and no longer thought about it. She stood up and walked out of the door. The sky was drizzling, and there was a little coolness dripping on her face, and it was raining.

She looked at Meixun. At Feng Sili's house in Suzhou, they met with each other with storms. She had been through a lifetime, and Meixun encountered great troubles again when she was young, and the hardships were hard to show.

After silent, he spoke to him: "Maxun, I have read your case files at Dali Temple, and your elder brother Chen Qingqi is still alive."

At first hearing this, Mason was a little unbelievable, but seeing that his master looked firm, he knew he had not deceived him.

After a while, I took back my soul and asked with joy and sorrow, "Do you know where he is?"

Looking at his eyes that were shiny in an instant, Shunyu pursed her lips and said, "It's not far from here."

"The annoyed young master took me there." Meisson bowed excitedly, looking anxious.

Shunyu looked at Tian Rong, and Tian Rong understood and came over to persuade him: "It's too late and the rain is getting heavier. This is another place where fish and dragons are mixed together. It's better to find a blue sky and a sunny day."

"The troublemaker told me to listen to my elder brother's residence, and I went to look for him by myself." Mason obviously refused to wait for a moment.

"I will take you there." Shunyu sighed, and did not take a carriage, walking along the wet bluestone road. Cherry Slanting Street is not far from Yanzhi Hutong, and you can get there after walking for a half-hour.

The prostitutes standing on the street, although their buns and clothes were dyed with rain, were still unwilling to give up and shook their handkerchiefs to attract guests.

After dozens of steps, even prostitutes became increasingly loose, and there were rare one or two lonely figures.

Mason looked around and saw someone playing in the middle of the lake under the Gonggong Bridge. He hung a light with a green cloth tent, and sat in a few taels of laughter. He listened to the singers singing, which was a different scenery.

"I wonder if the person who was carrying the boat was the elder brother?" Mason looked nervous and guessed.

A soldier with two oil barrels on his shoulder came towards him, shaking and stopping while walking. Mason slowed down and glanced carefully.

Even the vendor selling sweet fermented glutinous rice glutinous rice eggs on the roadside, he had to guess and couldn't help but talk to himself: "My elder brother was originally in the Imperial College, and later studied with the prince's servant. He was full of poetry, books and classics. He should have a bright future. Now even if he lives in a difficult situation, he is high and ambitious and will definitely live freely."

As he was talking, a "woman"-style Youtong, holding a bowl of sweet soup, walked past them in a hurry in the embroidered shoes, and soon hid into the alley.

"Master, where is this?"

Meisson looked around and saw the verdant houses with pink walls and black tiles. Most of them were deserted in front of the door, but there were also lanterns, and there were endless guests coming and going.

Shunyu heard his question and said lightly: "This is the place where the man is like a Gutang. The business of the whole street was very prosperous. After the imperial court rectified the situation, the capital city was moved, and there were fewer people here to have fun. Nowadays, most of them are discussing important matters and needing children to mediate and socialize."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a house in front of him, two bright red lanterns were burning. In front of the door, the "suit" was standing by the waiter. Several guests came out from inside. A white-faced Youtong came to see him off. Some guests seemed reluctant to leave. They rubbed his slender waist and twisted his hips. They were satisfied and boarded the car and left. Then Youtong entered the yard.

Meisson's face gradually faded away, and he seemed a little pale. Suddenly, he didn't say a word, and just lowered his head and looked at the tip of his shoes.

The group of "suits" in green clothes gathered together to chat and saw a guest coming, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Is this Xianglaiyuan?" Shunyu spoke up and asked.

It is precisely. A long "flower" sign pointed to the "door" board, and it is indeed engraved with the name "Xianglaiyuan".

Shun Yu whispered in a low voice: "Can Chen Ruilin be there? I'm pointing at him to serve him."

The servant bowed his hand and smiled: "He is now a guest, but if he is willing to wait, there will be no inconvenience."

He then 's hands' ten, saying: "Ten taels of silver."

Shunyu took out the silver from his sleeve and handed it over. After weighing it, the "Shishi" looked more and more attentive. Then he led the way forward and passed the garden. He saw five flat houses in front of him, two on the left were painted black, and the other three windows were shining brightly. From here, the "Shishi" couldn't get in, so he bowed and left.

Then he saw a servant sitting on the balcony outside the right window. When he saw three masters coming, he hurried over to salute and said respectfully: "Linlang is seeing guests in the bedroom. You may as well go to the guest room for tea and rest."

The three of them had to enter the living room. The tables and chairs were decorated very elegantly. The boy poured tea with quick hands and feet, put a few plates of fine and tricky dishes to re-burn the plum blossom cakes in Xuande copper stove, and added two pieces of cooked charcoal to the brazier, then he stepped out.

I only ate half a cup of tea, but it is hard to swallow it anymore.

It turns out that the living room is close to the bedroom, and only a curtain is hung from the entrance and exit. The sound inside is very clear, and it is obvious that you are dancing and romance.

But when I heard the breathless 'yin' laughter, I felt a slap in another sucking and kissing. Somehow, there was a thumping collision between the table and the chair, and the man heard a rough call: "Linlang spread the legs apart and don't escape."

Shunyu understood what was going on. Tian Rong was very uncomfortable, so he coughed and walked to the corridor to stand.

Seeing that Meisun's face was pale, his hands trembled with the cup, and the tea was splashed on the table, dripping along the corners. The excitement and joy of the previous ones disappeared, and tears were filled with dark eyes.

Shunyu wanted to comfort him, but when he saw the curtain lifting up, a Youtong walked out from inside. At the age of 14 or 15, his white face was flying red, and he was holding a copper basin in his hand. He never thought that someone outside would be frightened and immediately smiled with his lips: "Linlang is very tired now, and he is powerless to meet the guests. If he wants to see him, he is afraid that there will be some waiting. It would be better to come to see him tomorrow night."

Shunyu saw Mei Xun's head lowered and said without saying a word, shook her head and said lightly, "It's okay, it's not too late for us to wait."

Then Youtong said nothing and went straight out of the door. After a while, she turned around again, brought half a copper basin of hot water, ignored them, and shoved them open the curtain and entered the bedroom.

The sound of washing and talking came from inside.

After a while, the Youtong led a black and strong businessman out. He had a short body, an ugly face, and a very arrogant expression. He frowned and shouted, "I will bring a high-ranking official in two days. Let Linlang serve him carefully. Don't be so lazy now."

That Youtong said timidly.
