Huo Qiniang answered softly outside the door, "Yes!"
Then, Huo Qiniang reached out and pushed open the door of Jiangyung Pavilion and walked in slowly.
Jiangyun Pavilion is a small two-story building. The furnishings on the first floor are very simple, but very elegant.
There are four paintings hanging on the wall, four original paintings.
Although there are not many paintings, every one here is enough to shock the entire antique world.
From left to right are "A Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix" by Tang Bohu, "A Picture of a Chariot" by Yan Liben, "A Picture of Ladies in the Tang Palace" by Zhang Xuan, and "A Picture of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" by Wang Ximeng during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Under the painting, there is a table and two chairs, and there is a rocking chair by the window.
There was a person sitting on the rocking chair. There were no lights in the room and it was very dark. I couldn't see the person's appearance clearly. I could only vaguely see the wrinkled hands on the rocking chair through the light coming in from the window.
This hand holds a purple clay pot. The shape of the eight-petal lotus flower is very unique. The dark brown pot surface shines with an extremely attractive light even in the absence of light. Needless to say, this pot has a very unique shape. Zisha must be the hand rub of Dingshu Town, Yixing, Jiangsu Province.
Huo Qiniang walked very slowly and lightly, making almost no sound, as if she was afraid of disturbing the person on the chair.
But the person on the chair still heard Huo Qiniang's footsteps, and saw him slowly put down the purple clay pot in his hand, and said softly: "Qiniang, are those people here?"
Huo Qiniang nodded slightly and said softly: "Here we come! It's just..."
When Huo Qiniang said this, she couldn't help but hesitate.
The man seemed to understand the meaning of Huo Qiniang's words, so he slowly said: "It's just what?
Huo Qiniang frowned and thought for a while, then pursed her lips and said word by word: "It's just that there are only three people here, one less."
"One is missing?" the man asked: "Who is missing?"
Huo Qiniang said: "Hu Tian is missing!"
The man couldn't help being shocked when he heard the word "Hu Tian". His wrinkled hands suddenly moved on the rocking chair, almost knocking the purple sand lamp on the table to the ground.
But this man didn't care at all. He gasped and asked, "Where did Hu Tian go?"
Huo Qiniang said: "I heard from the ferry mother-in-law that Hu Tian was bewitched by the river demon. He jumped into Naihe when he was in the center of the river. It is estimated that he will not survive now."
"Hu Tian jumped into Naihe by himself?" the man repeated in surprise.
Huo Qiniang nodded and said, "Yes! Granny Ferry said so."
The man in the rocking chair sighed and said slowly: "Hu Tian will not die!"
Huo Qiniang was a little surprised when she heard what the man said. After thinking about it for a while, she finally asked: "Why did you say that?"
The man smiled coldly, and the laughter was even worse than the cry of a night owl. After a while, he said: "If he had died so easily, I think he wouldn't have hurt me like this. "
Huo Qiniang didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
The man in the rocking chair continued: "Do you know where the downstream of Naihe is?"
Huo Qiniang scratched her nose and said, "If I remember correctly, it's a place called Naihe Village..."
When she said this, Huo Qiniang seemed to suddenly think of something, and said suddenly: "Are you saying that after Hu Tian falls into the water, he will definitely be rescued by the people of Naihe Village?"
The person on the rocking chair nodded and said, "That's right! After all, that place was established by that boy from the Hu family. Naturally, they would not just sit idly by and ignore Hu Tian's troubles."
Huo Qiniang nodded and said, "I understand. But, what should we do next?"
The person in the rocking chair said slowly: "About this Naihe Village, Siniang wants all the other sisters to be familiar with it... Oh, by the way, how is Siniang doing with her affairs?"
Huo Qiniang said slowly: "Back to Dadong's house, the fourth sister just sent news that a large sum of money has been transferred to the Cao family's account in Beijing as you wished. I believe it will be a little later today. Sister Ersi can come back with a face mask made by Cao Yingde, the head of the Cao family with a grimace."
The man in the rocking chair nodded and said, "Well! Siniang has always been the most at ease with me when doing things. With these four face masks made by Grimace Cao Yingde, the next thing will be much easier to handle."
Huo Qiniang had no illustrations, she just listened quietly.
She is a woman who knows how to measure herself very well. She knows when to speak and when to shut up. She also knows when to laugh and when to leave.
Therefore, Huo Qiniang didn't speak. She just listened and waited quietly for the person to continue speaking.
Sure enough, not long after, the person in the rocking chair continued: "When Siniang comes back, there is no need to come to see me. Time is tight. Let her go directly to Naihe Village to find Hu Tian. However, let her go directly to Naihe Village. Please remember..."
When the person in the rocking chair said this, he suddenly stretched out his wrinkled hand, grabbed Huo Qiniang's arm, and moved it into his arms. Huo Qiniang almost turned in a circle. Then he suddenly fell into that person's arms.
Huo Qiniang didn't panic. Instead, she thought she was in that person's arms like a kitten that knew how to act coquettishly.
After the person in the rocking chair finished the rest of the words softly in Huo Qiniang's ear, he slowly asked: "Do you understand?"
Huo Qiniang lay in the man's arms and nodded gently, saying: "Qiniang understands! When Siniang comes back later, Qiniang, I will tell my boss your intention to her as soon as possible. "
The man in the rocking chair nodded slightly and said: "Very good! Very good! Very good!"
He said "very good" three times in a row. He was not only satisfied with Huo Qiniang's attitude in doing things, but also satisfied with her pair of legs that could make men all over the world go crazy.
He is also a man. Although he cannot be seen clearly, his eyes at this moment reveal a light that looks like that of a young man.
It is a kind of light that awaits the most primitive animal nature of human beings, and it is also a kind of light that longs for women.
Huo Qiniang didn't speak, she just smiled again. She liked the way that person looked at her, and she even liked his hands that no longer had "rules" at this time.
After a moment of burning incense, the breathtaking and thought-provoking sounds in the Cloud Pavilion gradually faded away.
Only bursts of whispers were left.
No one knows what these two people are talking about. Perhaps, even they themselves don’t know what they are talking about.
After another third of the incense stick, the door of Yun Pavilion was slowly opened from the inside, and a person slowly walked out from inside.
The person who came out was naturally Huo Qiniang.
Huo Qiniang's laundry was a little messy, but she didn't care.
There was a blush on her cheeks, a trace of sweat on her forehead and temples, and a satisfied smile on her lips.
After Huo Qiniang walked out of Jiangyun Pavilion, she gently closed the door from the outside, then turned around and walked back to the front hall of Wanfu Building.
The front hall of Wanfu Tower is named "Sands of Sand", which is taken from the poem "One hundred million birds divided into ten billion flowers, as many as the sands of the Ganges River".
At this time, people were still dispersed in the "Shashu" Hall. Wanfu Building, which had been constantly crowded since its opening, was so quiet for the first time.
Huo Qiniang stood in the center of the "Shashu" hall, straightened her clothes a little, sighed slightly, and murmured: "The time has finally come."
As soon as Huo Qiniang finished speaking, the dwarf shopkeeper led a woman in red into the "Shashu" hall.
Although the woman in red looks a few years older than Huo Qiniang, she is even better in terms of figure and appearance, especially those eyes that are even more seductive than Huo Qiniang. To exaggerate, although the woman in red has reached the age of a MILF, she still has the charm to make any man in the world work for her.
The woman in red was laughing, and so was Huo Qiniang, and then the two hugged each other tightly.
Who is this woman in red?
Of course it was Liu Siniang.
After a while, Liu Siniang slowly loosened her grip on Huo Qiniang's waist and said with a charming smile: "What's the matter, Qimei? Are you dressed like this to meet the big boss?"
Huo Qiniang smiled coquettishly and said: "Fourth sister, you are making fun of me again! Are you envious of me? Or are you jealous of me?"
Liu Siniang smiled and said: "Of course I envy you! Among the eight of us sisters, you are the one that the big boss likes the most. I am not as lucky as your fourth sister. So... I can only envy you. It’s time!”
Huo Qiniang smiled and said: "How can there be! Fourth sister, not to mention anything else, just those eyes are enough to drive men all over the world crazy..."
The two sisters just started chatting in the "Shashu" hall without any hesitation.
After chatting for a while, Huo Qiniang suddenly asked: "By the way, the big boss came to me just now to ask you about the ghost-faced Cao family in Beijing. How did it go? Although the big boss didn't say anything, But I could feel that he seemed very anxious."
Liu Siniang smiled, reached out and took off the backpack on her back, handed it to Huo Qiniang, and said with a smile: "Everything you want is here. Not only that, I also picked up the backpack on the way back. Something came, consider it a surprise! I put it all together in the bag."
Huo Qiniang took the backpack, opened it, and took out a large wooden box from inside.
The wooden box is made of the best golden peach wood. Although there is some blackening on the surface, it is still in very good condition. It is obvious that the owner of the box must cherish this wooden box very much, so it is maintained in such good condition.
Inside the wooden box were three flat masks with human faces. The masks were made of air-dried leather and were so wrinkled that they could not be seen clearly. Beside the mask, there were three palm-sized porcelain bottles, black, white and red, for unknown purposes.
Huo Qiniang gently used her index finger and thumb to twist out a human face mask from the wooden box, and let Zai Zai take a look at it.
This human face mask is very thin. To describe it as thin as a cicada's wings is not an exaggeration at all.
The light slightly penetrated the human face mask, and the slightest texture on the skin could be vaguely seen.
After Huo Qiniang looked at it for a while, she gently put the human face mask back into the wooden box and sighed: "He is indeed the number one disguise master in the Eight Gates. The name of Cao Yingde of the Grimace Cao family is really not What a waste of fame!"
