White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 120
The golden cave, the tomb of heroes.

Wen Ning thought that Pei You sent everyone away because she wanted to take her to see the world on the Qinhuai River, but she couldn't move when she passed by several beauties standing on the bow of the boat, and was pulled by him mercilessly. Walk.

After the eighth boat failed to go up, Wen Ning couldn't help but said, "Pei You, should we... go up and have a look?"

Pei You's normally plain face was painted with colorful colors by colorful painting boats, but his expression was still indifferent: "Didn't you come to see the fireworks?"

Fireworks are fireworks, but the reason why they set off fireworks on the Qinhuai River is that an oiran will sacrifice his life tonight.When she was in the teahouse, she heard someone mention it, saying that the oiran on the Qinhuai River only selects one oiran every year, and the price is publicly called on the night of dedication, usually thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver.

When the painting boat gets the money, it will set off fireworks on both sides of the Qinhuai River, winning a lottery for the oiran, and at the same time making its painting boat preach to others.

Such a night would be called Oiran Night by them.

"Pei You! Are you..." The man...

The following two words were swallowed by Pei You's slightly squinted eyes.

But Wen Ning was still dissatisfied.

The women on the painting boat were holding a pipa or stroking the guqin. Although they were all wearing light veils, they were all charming and charming, and she couldn't help herself as a woman, and wanted to spend money to take off the Veil to see the beauty beneath.

However, Pei You stood still, with a cold and calm appearance.

Why doesn't he just become a monk?
"You earned all that money just to spend it in this kind of place?" Pei You squinted at Wen Ning.

She just wanted to go up and see how much money she could spend... It happened that she was dressed as a scholar today, and the two of them went to the boat to order a beautiful lady.

Can mention silver...

Forget it, don't offend him.

Wen Ning snorted softly, since she wasn't going on a boat, she had to find some other fun.

Fortunately, there are many people on the Qinhuai River tonight. Apart from the boats, the two banks are equally lively.The first thing Wen Ning did was to find a tailor shop and change out the men's clothes.

Come out to play, the most important thing is to have fun.

Since you don't go painting boats, what are you doing in men's clothing?Of course, you have to dress yourself up to make you feel better.

Besides, she had never shopped on this street before, and the style of clothing here was different from that on the main street, graceful and charming.

Standing outside the clothing store where people come and go, Pei You glanced at the crowd who were still coming and going at night, and rubbed his brows.

Why did he come here with her temporarily?

Simply obsessed.

Just thinking about how to trick Wen Ning back earlier, a cheerful voice came from behind: "Let's go! Let's go buy some rouge and gouache!"

When Pei You turned her head, she saw the little girl who had changed her attire.

The water town in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and it is rich in silk. The skirts and shirts are mostly made of silk, and the texture is light. Compared with the capital city, the color of the clothes is also brighter, which matches Wen Ning's delicate face very well.

She didn't wear her girlish bun like the two days ago, but she let down her long hair and put a simple flying cloud bun on top of her hair, which added a bit of gentleness to her beauty.

Seeing Pei You staring at her in a daze, Wen Ning blinked her eyes: "Don't you want to go? Let's go! Go and pick some for the boss... for your mother. You have been arguing with her for a long time, so you have to find a way to coax her." She is!"

After speaking, regardless of whether Pei You agreed or not, she pulled his sleeve and walked forward again.

Pei You looked down at the thin white fingers tugging at her sleeves, the wounds on them had scabbed over, and it would start to itch after two days.

That's it, one last time.

Manipulate her one last time.
-
Naturally, Wen Ning would not know Pei You's many thoughts. From her point of view, it was so hard to stay away from the capital, and finally to come to this water town in the south of the Yangtze River once. There is only one oiran night, why don't you seize the opportunity to have fun once?
She also played in the capital, but she was never allowed to go out at night. Occasionally there was a Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, and Wen Tingchun also told her two elder brothers not to play too much, and to go home at Xushi.

So this is the first time that I can play freely at night like this.

She went to the rouge shop to buy a lot of rouge and gouache. She didn't know if it was because of the night, but she always felt that the goods here were more fashionable than those on the main street, and the colors were more beautiful.

Not daring to use Pei You as an ambassador, Wen Ning stopped looking at other shops after buying rouge and gouache, and instead took Pei You to watch the sideshows on the street.

From Pei You's point of view, they are all ordinary things, but Wen Ning thinks all of them are extremely novel.

"Wow, how did he spew out flames from his mouth? Aren't you afraid of burning yourself?"

"This is Qin Di's unique skill. He puts a paper bag in his mouth, which contains rosin powder. Before the performance, a small opening has been cut in the paper bag. At this time, when he blows the rosin powder to the torch, it will naturally burst into flames. "

"Wow! This man is so strong, with such a huge stone on his chest, he is safe and sound even though the stone is broken when he is hammered down!"

"It's just an illusion caused by strange forces. This kind of performance usually selects regular rectangular stones. When you hit them hard like this, the stones will dissipate the strength. The person lying underneath, even you, will not be injured in the slightest."

"Wow! This man can swallow such a long sword, won't he be hurt? How did he do it?!"

"The pharynx of a human body is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the esophagus is flat front and back. He can swallow it."

Wen Ning stared at the indifferent Pei You in disappointment.

Watching acrobatics, watching "skills" is one aspect, don't you just watch the excitement more often?Everyone at the scene either exclaimed or admired, and everyone cheered and applauded happily. He was the only one who stood out of the matter with his chest folded and explained expressionlessly, saying that it was all fake, it was just a cover-up.

"Why are you so boring? Is there anything you find unusual?" Wen Ning said with staring eyes.

Of course there are.

Isn't it the most unusual thing for him to appear here now, watching this boring show with her?
"There's a tavern ahead, aren't you hungry yet?" Pei You pulled Wen Ning out of the crowd.

Wen Ning glanced ahead, and then remembered that she came out of the school and rushed here before even having dinner.

"Hurry up, we haven't gone to the other side of the river yet!" Wen Ning tugged on Pei You's sleeve and disappeared into the crowd again.

There were people coming and going on the river bank tonight, and naturally there would be many people in the tavern.The two finally found a tavern with a few vacancies, and found a place near the river bank to sit down.

Wen Ning has long been familiar with the dishes here, so she ordered a few dishes that she likes very well, and she feels that Pei You should like them too.

She dined with him a lot in her previous life, but she never noticed that he liked those dishes. It was only when she saw him chewing on the sugar coating a few days ago that it dawned on her that Mr. Pei, who is cold-hearted and indifferent, probably likes sweet taste.

When the dishes came one by one, Pei You slightly raised her eyebrows: "Are you flattering me again?"

That's right?
Wen Ning nodded as a matter of course: "If you don't want to please you, what will you do if you don't take me out to play next time?"

The corners of Pei You's lips raised slightly, and his complexion seemed to have softened a lot.

This man is not difficult to coax.

Wen Ning made an inch of progress, and said with a smile: "The oiran auction will start later, let's go and see the excitement, shall we?"

Pei You was very calm: "Not good."

"Why?" Wen Ning bit her chopsticks, "Don't you wonder what the most beautiful oiran on the Qinhuai River looks like?"

Pei You was holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root, when she heard this, she raised her eyelids and paused for a moment on Wen Ning's face.

Wen Ning turned his head.

He rolled his eyes indifferently: "No."

Wen Ning wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, really puzzled.

Although the position was by the window, the window was not opened, Wen Ning felt deserted after a few mouthfuls of food, she stretched out her hand to push the window, and sure enough, the sound of silk and bamboo was heard from outside.

Opposite them was mooring a painting boat, and there was a beautiful woman holding a pipa on the bow and singing leisurely.

Wen Ning became interested as soon as she saw it, and poked her head to look out.

Now Pei You didn't stop her, and teased: "Like this place so much?"

It's not that I like it, it's just that I have read a lot in books before, but I have never seen it, just curious.

Before she could answer, a very sarcastic voice suddenly came from the next table: "The business woman doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, but she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river!"

Obviously it was said to the woman at the bow.The woman didn't know whether it was shame or embarrassment, she stopped singing and went into the dock with her pipa in her arms.

Why is this man like this?

Wen Ning immediately loudly said deliberately: "Mr. Pei, tell me, are they willing to know? Have they ever studied? Are they literate? Do they understand the government and the current situation? If they can enter the school like men, they will Wen Xiaomo, instead of being raised as a man's pet, they only learn how to please men, why don't they know the hatred of subjugation?"

"People have no choice but to make a living. There are always people who stand and talk without back pain. Don't join in the fun if you don't like this place. Don't come and see it!"

"Say such things in front of people, is there a bit of a gentleman!"

Although it was separated by a screen, the next door obviously heard it and knew that it was aimed at them. Someone immediately said angrily: "Who is talking nonsense? Have the ability to argue face to face!"

"No ability, no ability, little girl, how can you read as many books as your elder brother, and all the sage books you read are used to humiliate an illiterate business girl!"

But the other party had already followed the voice, three or two men, young and old, all dressed as Confucian scholars, came towards Wen Ning full of anger.

But he stopped when he was a few steps away from the dining table.

Because Pei You, who had been silent all this time, put down the teacup in his hand.

There was a soft sound on the dining table, and he raised his eyes to look at the leader: "What's the matter?"

His eyes are dull and his voice is clear, but just as Wen Ning once said, he doesn't have to do anything, he just needs to sit there with a slight glance of his black eyes, and people can detect the coercion.
