Indulgence in the Red Chamber

Lin Ning looked at the dazed Daiyu, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, you haven't received a birthday present? Still can't understand the four words 'Happy Birthday'? At least give me a smile, isn't that what my present is all about?" Aren't you welcome?"

"Hmph..." Daiyu pouted and snorted, turned around, but shed two lines of tears without words.Daiyu only felt sore in her heart, filled with an inexplicable emotion, her tears were uncontrollable, she simply cried and twitched, her small shoulders trembled, which made people feel heartbroken.

"Huh? Why are you crying? You didn't open it to see what gift I gave you, so why did you cry?" Lin Ning gave a wry smile inexplicably, looked at Jin Yu, and was hated by the snow geese next to him Gouged out a glance, stepped forward under tremendous pressure, bent over to look at Daiyu's small face, and asked softly, "But what's the matter?"

"No. Thank you..." Daiyu shook her head, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, took a long breath, and smiled shyly, "I'm sorry, but you kindly gave me something, but I started crying."

"Do whatever you want in your heart, just do everything according to your own will. You don't have to think too much—if you don't like what I send, just throw it away. You are my master, and I will never dare to disobey you What do you mean, huh?" Lin Ning's tone was light and slow, like a whisper between a lover and like a big brother coaxing his little sister.Anyway, no matter how you taste it, it doesn't look like a slave trying to make the master happy.

"You are talking nonsense again. My father heard this and said I was frivolous. From now on, this master and slave are not allowed to mention it again." He said fiercely, but secretly laughed in his heart. This man is really a dead man. Xinyaner, why do you have to say that you are my slave?Could it be that being my slave is sweeter than eating honey?

"Hey, it's getting late. Let's not go out anymore. The streets are full of people. I can't get out even if I want to. I can only smell the smell of sweat Seeing that Daiyu stopped crying, Lin Ning smiled and stood up straight.

"Okay, then I'll kowtow to my mother first. You and your sister are waiting for me here." After hearing this, Daiyu tidied up her clothes and went out with Xueyan.

Before Mao time on February [-], the streets of Yangzhou City were crowded with people.The teahouses and wine shops facing the street were settled by rich people early on, and the crowds of people watching the excitement were really bustling and crowded like never before.When Lin Ning brought Nalashi Jinyu and Daiyu Xueyan in men's clothes to the street, the street was already crowded.

"Oh, look, look, the whole building of the store over there is wrapped in lotus flowers! It's so spectacular!" Jinyu pointed to the front and shouted excitedly.

Daiyu looked up, and only vaguely saw some colorful flowers covering the roof of the building, but she couldn't see more—it can't be helped, the six-year-old child is too short.

Lin Ning didn't hear Daiyu's response to Jinyu's words, so he looked back, only to see the little girl trying to tiptoe, still disappointed.So he turned around and bent down, raised his arms to hug her, and put her on his shoulders.

Daiyu was startled at first, but before she had time to say more, she was startled by the scene in front of her.

Yangzhou has a special geographical location. Due to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Qinhuai River, it has become a transportation fortress connecting the southeast and northwest.Mostly, Yangzhou is extremely prosperous and famous for its salt, iron wire, tea and rice, so Yangzhou is one of the most prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River.

Flower Festivals are held every year, but this year is the most prosperous.The Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce spent a lot of money this year. It is dedicated to singing the praises of the Qing emperor and whitewashing the prosperity of the world. Therefore, each company with a name and surname paid 5000 taels of silver, making this grand event like a flower festival extremely grand.

The broad street is crowded with people, with tens of thousands of heads moving. Sitting on Lin Ning's shoulder, Daiyu has a wider vision than ordinary people.Looking from a distance, I can see that the shops on both sides of the street are decorated with flowers. Those big shops are even more luxurious. They even wrap the whole building with precious flowers one by one, turning into flower buildings. The whole Yangzhou seems to be immersed in the ocean of flowers.

"Girl, you are so happy, everyone in Yangzhou is celebrating your birthday." Lin Ning held Daiyu's calves with his left hand, and held her little hands around his neck with his right hand, smiling happily.

"Uh, I'd better go down. This is very inappropriate." Daiyu recovered from the grand scene in front of her, struggling shyly to jump off Lin Ning's shoulder.

"It's okay, I have strength. You are so light, I can still resist moving. Besides, look at so many people here, you are a child, what if you get lost? That's it, safety first " Lin Ning squeezed Daiyu's little hand and comforted her.

What a world!But five or six-year-old children, in modern times, are cuddling in their parents' arms and acting like a spoiled child, but this little girl is going to support half of Lin's mansion by herself!Thinking of this, Lin Ning felt a little heavy again, thinking that after being rescued, he had completely started a new life. Although the training was hard, he enjoyed equal happiness.But this silly girl on my shoulders still has to face so much pain, and has to walk on alone.

"Oh - there is a high stage over there, is it a performance stage for Baiyan to compete for beauty?" Jinyu is tall and slender, but she also closely follows Lin Ning.There are so many people here, it's not uncommon to say that they get separated.

Sure enough, the Chamber of Commerce sent people to set up a temporary market in a square downstairs of Linbo on the edge of the Slender West Lake, with a stage, an arena and a song and dance hall, and spent a lot of money to invite the most famous singer and dancer in the south of the Yangtze River. Jugglers and gladiators added many happy programs to the Huachao Festival.

The official performance has not yet started, but there has already been a competition in the song and dance hall over there.Qinhuai rookie Rouge took the lead with a song "Reminiscence of Qin'e". The spectators in front of the song and dance hall over there were applauding fiercely, and the cheers spread throughout the square like a mountain torrent.

"Well, let's just wait here. The convoy of all kinds of beauty and beauty should pass by here in a while. You can't miss any of them waiting here." Lin Ning nodded, leaned to one side, and went to the guarded by officers and soldiers. A little closer to the edge of the aisle.

"Hey! Look upstairs over there, those people are sitting and drinking tea and watching the fun, how leisurely. Why didn't we think of booking a seat in advance?" Jinyu sighed, raised her hand and pulled her sleeve, wiped Wipe the fine sweat off your face.The street is full of spectators, and there are all kinds of people, crowded and exhausted.

"Do you know how much a table costs? It's just to watch the fun, so don't burn it too much." Lin Ning glanced at Jinyu and said dissatisfied.

"How much money can I use?" Jin Yu scorned, this kid has become a cheapskate again.

"A chair costs 20 taels of silver, and a table covers 160 taels. A private room costs 400 taels of silver. 400 taels is more than a year's offering for a fifth-rank official." Lin Ning laughed softly, " Even if the commander of the infantry army has outstanding military exploits, how many taels can he get in a year's salary plus the filial piety of the people below?"

Jinyu was stunned, what he said was true, Ama's yearly offering plus ice and carbon worship was only a thousand taels of silver, and renting a room here to see the excitement would cost 400 taels, really cannibalistic Bone price.

The two of them here hadn't finished discussing the matter of money when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums mixed with people's clamor behind them. Lin Ning hurriedly turned around to look, but saw an open-topped sedan chair that must have been tall, with four sedan chairs with high poles. Lifting the roof of the sedan chair with flying eaves, the veils on all sides are ethereal, like a dream, half-covered, sitting a beautiful woman in red, holding a fan, half-covered jade face, a pair of seductive fox eyes glanced at it from time to time, provocatively. It makes people feel messed up.

"There is such a stunning beauty?!" Even though Jinyu was a girl, she was also moved by this woman's face at this moment, and couldn't help sighing.

"This is the head oiran of the Yubi Tower named Tianxiang. It is said that she is still a baby. You can see that she is so ecstatic. I really don't know how the Feng mother of the Yubi Tower was trained! Besides, she can walk in the The number one in Baiyan shows that the strength of Yubi Tower is extraordinary!" An insider beside him introduced enthusiastically.

"Heavenly Fragrance?" Lin Ning smiled lightly. A brothel girl who has practiced charm again is probably really heavenly fragrance!
