If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 28 The feet on the clogs are like frost, without crow’s head socks

After drinking for a while, Ding Xiu found an excuse and slipped out.

After all, we are here to do business this time, so we can't just focus on pleasure and forget about business.

Ding Xiu pretended to go to the hut, but took the opportunity to look around upstairs, downstairs, including the backyard.

Unexpectedly, it was really rewarding.

He found two middle-aged men talking together near the rockery in the backyard, looking mysterious.

Although the two people spoke in low voices, Ding Xiu, who was hiding in the dark, still vaguely heard a few words.

After all, he is now hearing and seeing, and his senses are far beyond what ordinary people can compare with.

What the other party said was completely incomprehensible, but Ding Xiu was almost certainly speaking Jurchen.

Looking at the opponent's figure again, he showed a typical bow-legged figure.

The vast majority of men in the Jurchen tribe are bow-legged because they were nomadic and almost grew up on horseback.

This is also the reason why the Jurchen cavalry has an inherent advantage. When a war begins, almost everyone is a soldier.

Not long after, the two men left the backyard one after the other, one walking toward the second floor and the other walking outside.

Ding Xiu thought for a while, and finally quietly followed the guy walking outside.

The other party was very careful. After walking out of the door, he glanced back subconsciously, and then looked around deliberately and casually.

In this way, Ding Xiu was more sure that there was something wrong with the other party, and it was probably the work of the Jurchens.

Since these craftsmen were to be lurking in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, they were all professionally trained. First of all, they had to grow their hair, and they would not make pigtails so that people would recognize them at a glance.

At the same time, they have to learn the Central Plains culture, etiquette, etc., and finally find an identity to hide, such as a traveling businessman, or even a beggar.

In short, a qualified workmanship is like a particle of dust, which can quickly blend into the vast sea of ​​people, making it difficult for people to identify.

Ding Xiu followed him all the way, and the other party obviously made a circle, and finally entered a place called "Hongyunfang".

Judging from the shop sign outside, it should be a gambling shop.

Ding Xiu circled around Hongyunfang but did not go in, so as not to offend the enemy.

After that, he returned to Chunxiao Pavilion.

"Brother Ding, why did it take you so long?" Pei Lun asked hypocritically.

"I met a friend and chatted a little more."

"Come on, come on, sit down and continue drinking."

After drinking for a while, Pei Lun glanced at Ding Xiu, then hugged Shuang'er and left happily.

"Son..."

Zana looked drunk and fell into Ding Xiu's arms, her watery blue eyes seemed to be about to drip.

Ding Xiu smiled heartily: "Let's go back to the room!"

Unexpectedly, there were two maids beside Zana, who had prepared hot water in advance.

The two took a comfortable hot bath together, and then walked to the bed together.

"Son..."

Zana called out softly and slowly took off the gauze she was wearing.

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiu reached out and pulled him up again, smiling: "Don't worry, this is not about eating instant noodles."

Zana looked surprised: "Instant noodles?"

Obviously, she didn't quite understand.

"Well, it's basically just gobbling it down to fill your stomach. This kind of thing needs to be done with elegance, just like a chef cooking.

If a good chef wants to prepare a delicious dish, he must first choose the best ingredients..."

While talking, Ding Xiu couldn't help but gently hold one of Zana's crystal white feet.

I don’t know if she is born with beauty or pays attention to maintenance. This pair of jade feet is really beautiful, like mutton-fat white jade.

The tentacles were warm and moist, and a faint fragrance came from the shower, which made people even more intoxicated.

For a while, Ding Xiu became very interested in poetry. He held it in his hand and played with it while reciting a poem: "The embroidery of Xinluo is entangled, and the feet are like spring flowers. Others don't say good things, but I know how pitiful I am." Although Zana could hear it. I don't know much about it, but I roughly know that Ding Xiu is praising her feet.

For a moment, he couldn't help but blush with embarrassment, bit his lips and said, "I didn't expect that Young Master... is so talented."

When she was undressing Ding Xiu, she discovered a knife hidden in Ding Xiu's clothes, knowing that Ding Xiu must be a member of the Jianghu.

Unexpectedly, he has the elegance of a scholar.

Ding Xiu smiled: "Actually, what you want to say is that you didn't expect me to have such a special hobby, right?"

"Not at all..."

"Actually, from ancient times to the present, many literati like women's beautiful feet, such as Li Bai... Do you know Li Bai?"

Zana nodded: "Of course I know. He is a poet, and he is also very famous in our Western Region. I can also recite his poems."

"Oh? Let's recite a song and listen to it?"

Zana responded and chanted like an oriole: "There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, I suspect it is frost on the ground..."

At this time, Ding Xiu suddenly answered: "In the long deserted night, I suddenly smelled the fragrance of a woman."

"Pfft~"

Zana couldn't help it and laughed so hard.

"Okay, let's get back to the subject. Li Bai also wrote these two sentences, "The children of Wu have a long life, and their eyebrows are bright and beautiful. The feet on their clogs are like frost, and they don't wear crow's head socks."

Zana couldn't help but ask: "Young Master... is a scholar?"

Ding Xiu smiled and said: "It depends on how to put it, I have indeed read a lot of books, and I am also practicing martial arts."

"It turns out that the young master has both civil and military skills. No wonder he is so elegant."

Ding Xiu continued: "Continuing from the previous topic, with good ingredients, they need to be processed and cooked carefully.

Only in this way can we prepare a delicious and memorable delicacy..."

Zana was a little crazy when she heard it. She didn't expect that someone would describe that kind of thing in such a fresh and elegant way.

However, she always felt that it was her pair of beautiful feet or herself?It's a bit weird to describe it as an ingredient.

I don’t know how long it took, but Ding Xiu finally got to the point and said to himself: “The heat is just right!”

midnight.

Ding Xiu tiptoed out of the room and coughed lightly when he came outside the room where Pei Lun was.

Soon, Pei Lun walked out.

This was a tacit understanding. Ding Xiu had given him a look in the private room before, and Pei Lun naturally knew that Ding Xiu had gained something.

Fortunately, this guy knew that he had a mission and was not so unrestrained, at least it would not affect his actions.

The two of them sneaked into the backyard one after another and made sure there was no one around. Pei Lun just asked in a low voice: "I wonder what Brother Ding discovered?"

"Before, I discovered two Jurchens..."

Ding Xiu whispered the reason.

"So, one of them is still here and the other went to Hongyunfang?"

"Yes! I didn't go in before because I was afraid of alerting others. Do you think it is necessary for us to go there now?"

Pei Lun pondered for a while and said: "I don't think it's necessary to go there now, after all, it's already past midnight. Otherwise, let's go meet someone tomorrow morning."

"Who?"

"There is a man named Luo. People in the world generally call him Master Luo. This man is the most famous intelligence dealer in the ghost market. I used to ask him for information when I was investigating the case in Fusi, Beizhen."

"Is this person trustworthy?"

"Don't worry, reputation is the most important thing in their business, and the source of intelligence and the details of the buyer will never be leaked."

"Okay, that's it."

So, the two of them went back to their rooms to do whatever they were supposed to do.
