C122 (1/2)
The streets and alleys of Niu Yang City became lively once again.
They were all discussing the same topic.
The Flower Lady of the Drunken Flower Lodge suddenly came back after a year of 'seclusion'!
For people like Ah Bao, this was without a doubt a heavenly piece of news!
There was still better news, now that he had entered the Drunken Flower Hall, he would no longer have to pay any money to go upstairs.
”That guy …” Ah'Bao stuck out his tongue and a trail of saliva rolled down the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with excitement, ”Truly …” This is so thrilling! ” Ah'Bao remembered last night, his heart was still beating fast.
”Tch!” Qin Gang took a deep breath and said, ”That dog really can't stop itself from eating sh * t!”
”You!” Ah'Bao's interest was immediately dwindled as he was splashed with cold water. He glared hatefully at Qin Gang.
”Eh? ”Ah Bao!” Qin Gang whispered to Ah Bao.
”Humph!” Ah'Bao's eyes rolled back, no longer paying any attention to him.
”Don't say that I didn't warn you!” Qin Gang didn't care about Ah Bao's expression and said, ”This time, when Hua Niang suddenly came back, didn't you feel that something was amiss?” Saying that, he carefully looked around the courtyard, and then bent down and whispered into Ah'Bao's ear, ”And Master Li is also very strange this time! As for those people who were neither human nor ghost, they had no idea where they came from! You have to be careful! ”
”Eh —” Ah'Bao was stunned, staring blankly at Ah'Bao, his eyes starting to fill with fear, ”That's right!” Ah'Bao's throat rolled, and he squeezed out a few words after a long time.
”...”
At this time, the lanterns were being lit.
In front of the Drunken Flower Hall, there was a steady stream of people entering and exiting. For those who were looking for fun, the beautiful night officially began.
Opposite the Drunken Flower Hall, there was a small restaurant called ”Drunk every day”.
”There is also the word 'drunkard', but this is only a place for drinking.” Drunk every day, this restaurant could be considered an old brand in Niu Yang City. The boss was the yamen's Li Datou, so he had to be a good host. As a result, the restaurant was gradually becoming the largest in the area due to the ”drunk every day”. He had taken over all the businesses in Niu Yang City. Over 90% of the people who came to Niu Yang City were there to play in the Drunken Flower Hall, while 100% of the people there were there for ”daytime and drunk” meals.
Seventy to eighty tables of various sizes had all been occupied.
There were three people sitting in the east corner. The tables were filled with food and wine.
A person was sitting on the seat of honor. He was in his forties, with a full beard, tall stature, and skin as black as a bag. However, his temples were bulging and his eyes were gleaming. He was obviously an inner sect expert. A nine-ring golden blade was placed beside his desk.
The one on the right was a thin, scholar-looking man of about thirty, with a folding fan and a dark blue gown. He had a white face and a mustache. A divine light also appeared in his eyes. On the left sat a man who looked like a monk. He was about thirty years old, had a big head and ears, wore a yellow monastic robe, and was called a monk.
”Hey, big brother!” The blue-robed man rarely drank. He waved his fan and looked at the Drunken Flower Hall. He turned his head and said to the person in the middle, ”Do you think that the Drunken Flower Hall is really like the rumours in the martial arts world?”
”Hmm —” The bearded man had just finished a bowl of wine and was holding a piece of chicken to his mouth. The blue-robed man asked himself, ”Hmm —” He had just swallowed a bowl of wine and was holding a piece of chicken to his mouth. So what? He put down his chopsticks and turned around to say, ”What the hell is this?” People in the martial arts world of the Central Plains loved to talk nonsense … Hahahaha... ”Who cares about crappy buildings. Let's drink first before anything else …” As he spoke, he shook his sleeves, grabbed the jar of wine, and filled his bowl to the brim.
”Hey, big brother!” The always busy monk raised his head, wiping his hands on his cassock. In the end, he put his two fat thumbs to his mouth and sucked, ”Also, I have long heard that the Lady Boss of the Drunken Flower Hall is as beautiful as a fairy! Why don't we finish our drinks and go over to take a look? If it's really as they say, then we can also play. ”Hahahaha …” As he spoke, he threw his head back and laughed maniacally, causing the wine in the bowl on the table to shake uncontrollably.
A laugh startled the drinkers around them, causing them to turn their heads to look around.
”Humph!” What's so good about it!? ”Huh?” The monk glared and shouted in all directions.
”Tch? What the heck! A monk drinking wine, it seems that this is not something good! ” Suddenly, from the west side of the table near the window, he heard a burst of curses and a burst of laughter.
”Damn it!” You actually dared to scold me! ” The monk seemed to be infuriated. He moved his body and was about to get up.
”Ah, Sha Di, don't be angry!” A pair of chopsticks was placed on the monk's wrist. Each of them looked up and saw the bearded man winking at them.
”Humph!” This time, I will not bother with you! ” He straightened his body and turned around. From the looks of it, he was rather obedient to the bearded man.
”Haha …” The scholar crossed his legs and pointed his folding fan at the monk. He chuckled. ”Aiya, junior brother Sha, your fiery temper has really changed …” As he said that, he lightly gestured to the back with his right hand, ”This Central Plains martial arts Lin is a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers! We... ”We have to be careful …”
”Humph!” ”We don't care about dragons or tigers, if you provoke us, we will not stop!” The monk said indignantly, raising his head and drinking a bowl of wine.
”Well, let's have a good drink first,” the scholar said. ”Let's go in and have some fun! ”Hahahaha …”
”Aiya, great sir, welcome …”
”Hahahaha …” As expected … It was so beautiful! ”Big brother! — err! — —”
As soon as the three of them arrived at the Drunken Flower Hall, a group of brightly dressed girls flocked over and surrounded the three of them. They gave them flirtatious glances as they led them into the hall.
At this moment, the monk had already thrown his previous displeasure out of the window. While burping, he happily followed behind the bearded man and the scholar.
”Oh my, are the three of you going up to the third or fourth floor …” Following a gust of fragrant wind, an old woman in her fifties came over and greeted them.
”Ugh!” Go! Go! ”Go!” The monk was carrying the three girls up the stairs, but he was stopped by an old woman who stood in front of him. The wine was already half drunk. As he spoke, he turned around and smiled at the three girls, ”Right, my darlings — Hahahaha!”
”Hey, official!” The old lady was not angry at all, she actually gave the monk a coquettish look, ”This is the first time you've come here, isn't it?” With that, he walked over to the monk.
”Sigh!” I say, old woman! ”Don't just stand there, ah, and spoil my fun again, or I'll throw you out!” As he spoke, he glared at her.
”Hehe, I said, official, don't be anxious yet!” The old lady looked at the monk and smiled mysteriously, ”Who wouldn't want to see the beauty of our Flower Lady who came to the Drunken Flower Tower? ”Hahahaha …”
”Hua Niang?” The monk was stunned. He waved his right hand and scratched the back of his head, ”That's right!” Didn't we just come here to meet that woman! ”
”Hehe!” The monk waved both his hands, pushing the three girls to the side, and then he rushed towards the old woman, ”Hehe, that's right! We are here to see that woman! ”Come, let me take a look!” Without further ado, he grabbed the old woman's hand and started to walk up the stairs.
”Aiyo!” The old woman screamed and pushed away the monk's hand. ”Hahahaha …”
”But …” The old woman rubbed her wrist, which had been grabbed by the monk, then looked at him and leisurely said, ”If I want to meet the flower lady, I won't be able to see her so easily —”
”Eh? So what?! ” The monk shouted.
”That's very expensive!” The old woman was still unhurried.
”Hahahaha...” The monk raised his head and laughed out loud. He then took out a jade bracelet from his bosom and placed it in the old lady's hands, ”Silver? Our family does not lack money! This was worth at least several hundred thousand taels of silver! Ha ha-ha! ”Huh?”
The old woman held the jade bracelet in front of her eyes, looking extremely surprised. A Jade Rabbit. Judging from the quality of the jade and its craftsmanship, it was definitely not an ordinary ornament! He actually started with this kind of thing. It seemed like the monk in front of him had quite the background!
”Hahahaha …” The guest was indeed a big figure … Our Hua Niang likes straightforward people like you … ”Please come with me …” A faint smile appeared in the old woman's eyes as she brought the monk to the fifth floor.
”Let's go in!” Arriving at a door on the fifth floor, the old lady stepped back and said to the monk, ”The flower maiden is inside …” Then he smiled meaningfully at the monk and walked down the stairs again.
”Eh —” The monk stuck his head in and peeked inside only to see that there was a room inside. It was elegantly decorated, and the room was covered in silks and silk. From time to time, a fragrant aroma wafted into the air.
Flower fragrance!
