Chapter 21: Man in black
Chapter 21 The Man in Black
The handsome man's face was cold and frosty, his hairpins fell off during the struggle, and even half of the beard stuck to his mouth was torn off.
Qin Lang was stunned for a moment when he saw that this handsome guy was actually a woman.
"Deng Tuzi, don't let go!" The man was anxious and angry.
Qin Lang let go of his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "A woman disguised herself as a man."
A group of unscrupulous people, Marquis Wu, and rangers behind him even yelled loudly, "Oh, I thought it was a pretty boy with too much good-looking face, but I didn't expect it to be a little lady. She is really pretty."
Some people surrounded him while talking, and even stretched out their hands.
Qin Lang stared, "Don't be rude." Then everyone retreated in embarrassment. Qin Lang squinted his eyes and looked at the woman, "I didn't mean to offend just now, sorry."
The woman frantically brushed her hair up, gave Qin Lang a vicious look, and then ran out.
Yu Xiao shouted from behind, "I don't know my sister's name yet, thank you just now for your generous rescue."
But the woman ran out of Zhangtai Pavilion without looking back.
Yu Xiao looked at the retreating figure with some disappointment, and after a long time, she turned her head and bowed to Qin Lang, "I also thank San Lang for saving me just now."
Qin Lang smiled awkwardly. It seemed that the original Qin Lang and this Yuxiao girl seemed to be old acquaintances, maybe even old friends, but he didn't have the slightest memory.
Because she didn't know how to answer, the madam of Xiaoxiang Pavilion ran in with a panicked expression.
As soon as he entered the door, he stomped his feet and sighed, wiped away his tears and cried.
"Yu Xiao, you have caused a catastrophe. Our Xiaoxiang Pavilion angered Chai Erlang, how can this be good?" She said, looking at Qin Lang, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw. "Qin Sanlang, you are responsible for what happened today."
"Responsible? What are you responsible for?" Qin Lang was puzzled.
"Qin Sanlang, please take pity on me, the old bustard. It is impossible for Yuxiao to stay in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion anymore. Tonight, you have to comb the Yuxiao."
"Six hundred guan, I have no money." Qin Lang said, looking at Yuxiao and then at the old bustard.
"Sanlang was joking. This old slave is not the kind of person who is open to money. You and Yuxiao are in love with each other. Now that I am the beauty of an adult, I will do the grooming tonight. I will return the deed to Yuxiao tomorrow. She went to the yamen to return her registration and brought her back to the mansion to be a concubine."
The old bustard is really terrified now, that Chai Lingwu is a well-known dandy in Beijing, known as the overlord, offending such a ruthless dandy, the future life of Xiaoxiang Pavilion will not be easy, the only way she can think of now is to untie the bell and wait The person who tied the bell asked Qin Lang to comb the jade flute, so that the disaster could be diverted to the east. At this time, he didn't care about the six hundred guan.
"Buddhist, don't want the six hundred guan, and still let Miss Yuxiao stay with us Saburo?" Ah Huang jumped out, smiled and said to the old bustard, "Old bustard, why are you so generous all of a sudden."
"Look at what you're talking about, Yuxiao has been with me since she was a child, and our mother and daughter have a very deep relationship. Qin Sanlang and our Yuxiao girl are concubines, and I am also the beauty of an adult." The old bustard is also very clever.
Yu Xiao bent down and bowed to Qin Lang, "Just now I heard that San Lang fell off his horse and was injured and lost his memory. Is it true or not? Or is it just an excuse to get rid of Yu Xiao?"
Qin Lang didn't know why the original owner still had such romantic debts, so he could only chuckle dryly, "Yesterday when I fell off a horse while playing polo in Zuo Xun's mansion, my horse's hoof hit my head. I really can't remember many things, please forgive me, girl."
Yu Xiao heard this, smiled slightly, refreshing.
"Oh, Qin Sanlang, don't be that heartless person and let down our girl Yuxiao." The old bustard shouted while the iron was hot. If Qin Lang refuses at this time, she really can't bear it.
In fact, Qin Sanlang is just like many descendants of the nobles in Chang'an. He also likes to make friends, so that he can go hunting and drink wine. Yuxiao is one of the three famous performers in Pingkangfang. In this era, they seem to be descendants Like the current popular female idol, it is naturally very attractive to those boys.
Qin Lang is also a fan of Yuxiao, a star chaser, and often comes to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to support him. However, although Yuxiao doesn't dislike this young man, she doesn't have any secret affection or anything like that. She just has a good impression of him. Brother Gongzi is not as domineering and rude as some dudes.
But after going through what happened just now, Yu Xiao suddenly felt that this Qin Sanlang was so heroic, and she was deeply moved and appreciated by his performance in front of Chai Lingwu just now.
At this moment, she couldn't tell whether it was gratitude or a sudden love affair.
The old bustard was adding fuel to the flames again, saying that Qin Lang and Yu Xiao had long been in love with each other in private, and had promised each other for life.
Bad guys who don't know the details, Marquis Marquis, jailers, and rangers are also booing there. They are shocked and sighed. They didn't expect that the flower of Chang'an had already been picked by Qin Lang.
Yu Xuanji came over with a smile, and suggested that many of Qin Sanlang's friends were here tonight, and everyone witnessed the ceremony together.
Everyone booed.
Qin Lang hasn't figured out the situation yet, and has already been put on a red groom's gown like a duck by everyone.
In the Qinglou Chuguan, there are often grooming ceremonies for the girls, and these things are ready-made.
Yu Xiao over there also half-pushed and did not refuse.
The crowd hugged Qin Lang and Yuxiao back to the Xiaosa Hall, Chai Lingwu and his party had already left for the Hongxiu Pavilion.
After a simple arrangement, the wine and dishes are served.
Qin Lang and Yu Xiao were hugged and held the ceremony, witnesses and others were all available. In fact, this kind of wedding is naturally not real. It can only be said to be an imitation wedding in a brothel, but it is also decent, especially There were people booing, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Qin Lang felt that this joke seemed a bit big, but looking at the appearance of everyone, especially that of Yuxiao, he thought that the original owner really had a secret promise with this girl for life, and it was not good to refuse directly in front of everyone, lest it would make the girl laugh. The other party can't get off the stage.
Fortunately, this kind of wedding is not a legally binding wedding, it's just an event or a performance in the building. After all, the law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that good and low should not marry. They will also be punished with a board and sentenced to prison for reform through labor. In severe cases, they may even be exiled.
Already had a drink in Zhangtai Pavilion, everyone who was slightly drunk was in high spirits, and the atmosphere in Xiaoxiang Pavilion reached its peak for a while.
"After the ceremony, send it to the bridal chamber!"
A turtle male shouted loudly.
Everyone made a fuss, hugged the two of them upstairs, and sent them to Yuxiao's room.
Close the door, Lao Huang stood guard at the door and stopped everyone.
In the room, Qin Lang was wearing a big red robe, and Yu Xiao was wearing a green dress.
Qin Lang, who was drunk a lot of alcohol just now, felt that his footsteps were a little sloppy and dizzy.
"Sanlang, a night of spring festival is worth a thousand gold." Yu Xiao said in a low voice with a big red hijab covering her head.
No response from the room.
"Saburo?"
Yu Xiao whispered again, but what responded to her was only a sudden snoring.
The room fell into silence, only Qin Lang's snoring was left.
It was a long day, running around, and drinking so much wine, I was really sleepy, and I fell asleep unconsciously.
After a long time, Yu Xiao lifted the hijab by herself, moved forward lightly, and found that Qin Lang was really asleep.
Originally thought that Qin Sanlang was just pretending to be asleep, but the sadness on his face turned into a chuckle when he saw this.
"Sanlang, Yuxiao will commit herself to you from now on, don't let me down."
She helped Qin Lang bring a thin blanket to cover him, and didn't have the heart to wake him up again.
She was sitting beside her, staring at him blankly.
Midnight.
The noise in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion continued, those unscrupulous people, Marquis Marquis, and Rangers were drinking all night long, some of them were drunk and just found a place to lie down, some of them were so drunk that they were still drunk. I am arguing that I am not drunk, not drunk endlessly.
Upstairs.
Yu Xiao also fell asleep unknowingly.
A man in black quietly entered from the window.
As soon as he entered the room, he was greeted by a short, dark, thin, wretched old man with a face longer than a horse sitting there.
The man glanced around the room, and saw that the target was sleeping soundly on the bed behind him, and beside him was a beautiful woman, dressed in a green bridal gown, with black hair and green clothes, revealing a white and seductive neck.
There is also a pleasant fragrance in the room, softly permeating the surroundings, which is intoxicating.
If it weren't for that horse face sitting there holding a flagon, everything would be fine.
"Who are you?" The man in the night was surprised. He didn't know why the horse's face appeared in this room. Could it be that the employer hired someone else to come one step ahead of them?
Ah Huang put down the jug expressionlessly, "I have a few questions, please ask."
The man in black held the dagger tightly in his hand. If the other party was also invited by the employer, then it is easy to say, if this person came to block the way, then we will send him on the road together today.
"First question, who hired you?"
Ah Huang then stretched out his second finger, "Secondly, how much is it?"
"Last question, are you alone?"
The man in black hid his head and covered his face, only his eyes were exposed, and he stared at Ah Huang.
"I also have a question, who are you?"
"Me?" Ah Huang pointed to his nose and smiled, "I, my surname is Huang, people call me old horse head."
The man in black was not satisfied with this answer. But he has already seen that this horse face is not with him.
"Good dogs don't get in the way, and those who are sensible will get out of the way, and I will spare your life."
"Hahaha, what a shame, how dare you talk to your Madam like that." After Ah Huang said with a smile, his whole person suddenly changed, and his face no longer had that wretched smile.
The man in black only saw an afterimage flash past, then lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Old Huang sat back down again, picked up the flagon and took another sip, "Just waiting for a three-legged cat, dare to come out, bah!"
After finishing speaking, Lao Huang shook his head, walked over and brought the man in black to the open window, looked back at Qin Lang and Yu Xiao who were still asleep, smiled, and jumped down with the man in black.
