But before she could speak, a servant not far away ran towards the ancestral hall without hesitation.
After the servant saw Jiang Nianjiao clearly in the ancestral hall, he immediately shouted, "It's not good! Miss! Something big has happened."
The servant was panting as he ran, and Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help scolding him in a low voice, "Why is it so rash? Let's calm down our breathing first."
The servant's face was full of panic. After taking a few deep breaths, he spoke again, "Miss, it was... the young master Cousin and the eldest son of Lin Yushi's family were fighting over a flower girl named Qi Yun. .”
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao's face also darkened. Unexpectedly, before she had time to remind him, this boy had already fooled around in Hualou, and now he only caused such trouble.
Aunt Du on the other side turned pale after hearing about this. Before Jiang Nianjiao could speak, she asked, "How is Ze'er?"
The servant whispered, "I heard that Young Master Biao himself was not seriously injured, but the eldest son of the Lin Yushi family had his head broken by a vase and is still lying in the hall, but I estimate that they have already Reported to the official."
Hearing this, Aunt Du's legs softened and her eyes turned red. "This brat will try his best to cause trouble for me. How many times have I told him not to cause trouble? Why did he just..."
Although Jiang Nianjiao also felt that Du Zechi was a troublemaker.
But she couldn't ignore this matter.
So she only comforted her softly, "Aunt, don't worry, I will handle this matter. Nothing serious will happen to my cousin."
After saying these words of comfort, she asked the maid next to Aunt Du to help Aunt Du back to her residence, while she asked the other servant who came back to report the news to lead her to the flower house where Du Zechi was staying.
Fireworks went off along the way, and people came and went in the market. Once they left Wangliufang, there were even more people coming and going.
While the carriage was driving, it was almost impossible to move. ..
Feeling that it was difficult to walk, Jiang Nianjiao opened the car curtain and saw the bustle of people outside. She knew that it would be faster to travel by carriage at this time, and it would be faster to walk.
And she had vaguely seen several officials heading towards the fireworks place.
So she just got off the carriage in a hurry, and then she said to the servant, "You can come down with me."
After hearing this, the servant naturally followed Jiang Nianjiao quickly, and then under the guidance of the servant, the two of them headed towards the largest flower street in the capital.
People come and go on Flower Street. Along the road, you can see red flowers and green willows.
Inside the Zhulan Pavilion, there were many young men and women who frequently waved to passers-by outside the building.
However, Jiang Nianjiao obviously had no intention of looking at the scenery in this building.
She hurried forward under the leadership of her servant.
The two of them stopped when they arrived at the largest Hualoufeng Flower Shop in the entire flower street.
The servant just whispered, "Miss, this is it."
Jiang Nianjiao raised her head and looked at the gilded mahogany plaque. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, where did Du Zechi get so much money and dare to go to this gold-selling cave.
Although it was her first time to set foot in Fenghuafang, she had heard about the high consumption of Fenghuafang.
It’s not uncommon to spend a fortune here.
There were no restrictions on men and women in Fenghuafang, so no one stopped Jiang Nianjiao. Even the husband who was soliciting customers saw Jiang Nianjiao coming and treated Jiang Nianjiao as a guest.
In this kind of place, there are fewer female guests than male guests, and the female guests who can come here are much more generous than the male guests.
Therefore, as soon as Jiang Nian Jiaopu stepped into this place, he was surrounded by a group of gaudy, painted men.
"Little lady, do you want to come to the building to have fun?"
"Little lady, choose me. Yin'er will definitely serve the little lady comfortably."
"Little lady, choose me! I know everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Jiang Nianjiao had no experience in coming to this kind of place, so she didn't expect to encounter such a situation, so she didn't bring many people with her. Suddenly, she was surrounded by this group of husbands.
Moreover, even the servants he brought with him were surrounded by the female relatives.
This situation is like a whale gobbling up.
"I'm not here to find you.
Why don't you get out of my way quickly! "Jiang Nianjiao hated the touch of these people, so she couldn't help but scolded them sternly.
There was a mess going on down there, and at the railing on the second floor, a man in a red shirt was watching the farce below with interest.
And there was an old bustard standing next to him. The old bustard was talking to the young man, "Lan Jue, listen to your mother's advice, let's just accept one customer today. There are not many female customers here, so let's It’s all about youth, isn’t it? It’s better to make more while you’re young.”
The man in red was not tired of taking the trouble. Seeing that the old bustard kept talking, he seemed to deliberately block the old bustard's mouth, so after a moment, he suddenly said, "Since mother said so, it is not impossible to open today." , I think that customer is pretty good, what if I chose her otherwise?"
The man in red just looked sideways at the madam and smiled quite romantically.
After hearing this, the madam didn't care much. As long as he could coax the ancestor to accept the guest, other demands would not be unfulfilled.
Therefore, the old bustard just laughed and said, "Of course, I will send someone to pick her up."
Seeing that the woman underneath was about to be taken away by a husband, the man in red suddenly said, "No need to go to such trouble."
Then he just took a weighing pole from the tray in the hand of the waiter, picked up the hydrangea tied with red silk in his hand, and threw it downstairs.
Jiang Nianjiao was entangled with her husband downstairs, but she didn't expect the hydrangea to fall directly into her hand.
Seeing a big hydrangea falling from the sky, Jiang Nianjiao was still confused.
On the contrary, the group of gentlemen who had just pulled Jiang Nianjiao stopped pulling on her after seeing the hydrangea.
At the same time, only a clear and magnetic voice came from upstairs: "This guest is mine, colleagues, I hope you can forgive me."
Although the voice seemed to be apologizing, the casual tone showed a bit of arrogance and pride.
Others, on the other hand, only dared to get angry and dare not speak out.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but subconsciously look upstairs, and then she saw under the feasting and feasting on the second floor, a coquettish man wearing a cloud-patterned crane-cross-collared robe was revealing an extremely bright and dazzling figure towards her from the depths of the snow-willow fireworks on the second floor. smile.
Before she could say a few more words to the man, a young waiter greeted Jiang Nianjiao and said, "My dear, Mr. Lan Jue, please come up."
Jiang Nianjiao looked at the unwilling little husbands behind her, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to go in first.
So she didn't hesitate. She just said softly, "You can lead the way."
With the waiter leading the way, Jiang Nianjiao successfully entered Fenghuafang.
It's just that she just watched those officials enter Fenghuafang, and the servants probably didn't take them to the wrong place. Unexpectedly, along the way, she didn't see a mess in the lobby, let alone Those officials.
On the contrary, there is still a scene of singing and dancing.
Could it be that I went to the wrong place?
It's a pity that she walked in alone, and the people she brought with her were dragged to nowhere by them.
Moreover, Fenghuafang was indeed a big business, and she was unable to find any trace of her cousin's whereabouts along the way.
Do you want to open the door and look everywhere?
And it's not far. She quickly reached the second floor, and before she could figure it out, the waiter had already taken her to a room lit with scarlet candles.
Just as the waiter was about to knock on the door, Jiang Nianjiao said directly, "Wait a minute, I want to see your boss first."
Hearing this, the child only glanced at Jiang Nianjiao strangely. He was about to say something, but the person in the room suddenly opened the door.
"Since the young lady is here, why can't she come in?"
While talking, a man pulled Jiang Nianjiao into the inner room.
Before Jiang Nianjiao could react, the man closed the door behind him.
The waiter was immediately locked out of the door, while Jiang Nianjiao was held by the man and pressed against the indoor door panel.
The two figures are close to each other.
It was also at this time that Jiang Nianjiao could clearly see the situation in the room.
that house
It seems that they want to deliberately create an ambiguous atmosphere. The charcoal fire isolates the cold outside, and the incense has a sense of luxury. Even the candlelight in the house is very hazy. Most of the furniture in the house is made of mahogany. Carved decorations are also mostly carved with suggestive meanings.
Through the curtain and hat, Jiang Nianjiao could clearly see the young man's appearance.
He was wearing a cross-collar robe with crimson cloud patterns and embroidered cranes, but he actually refused to put it on properly, leaving only a large area of skin exposed, and his long hair hanging down like crow feathers.
He has a graceful profile, long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, thin lips and straight nose. Even if he doesn't smile, he has a seductive and sinister charm.
"Is this your first time here, little lady?" he asked softly against Jiang Nianjiao's ear, his voice as hoarse as a feather that touched the heart.
However, even though this young man was so tempting, Jiang Nianjiao was not seduced by him. She subconsciously wanted to push the young man away and said, "Put me down."
Unexpectedly, the young man only hugged Jiang Nianjiao closer and closer.
"Young lady, are you shy?" he asked softly.
Jiang Nianjiao quickly said, "Am I here to find someone?"
These words seemed to amuse the young man, and the young man only laughed lowly and said, "Whoever comes to us is not here to find someone? Why don't I take off the girl's hat for her?"
While he was talking, the young man just lifted Jiang Nianjiao's hat. He didn't expect what a pretty face was underneath the hat.
After all, for people like them, it is already very good to receive young female customers.
Therefore, when the curtain was lifted and Jiang Nianjiao's face was seen, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up for a moment.
He had found a treasure now. Jiang Nianjiao had a sweet face that was very in line with the current aesthetics and was impeccable and perfect.
Looking closer, she could see that even the oiran ladies in the capital looked like vulgar objects in front of her.
