It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 55

Chapter 55

The three fast horses went up against the current, and at the last moment when the city gate was about to close, they entered Fallen Leaf City again.

There is a curfew at night, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets at night.Of course, the curfew is only effective for ordinary people. Some big families still sing and sing all night long, but no one will take care of them.

No matter in any era, there are always some people who are not bound by the rules.In other words, regardless of any era, the rules are only valid for some people.

In this case, it is not difficult to find the location of Huang's house. There are singing, dancing and music in that house, so it is always a good place to find it.

Outside Huang's house, Cheng Dalei found the sneaky Lin Shaoyu.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Hush, keep quiet!" Cheng Dalei waved his hands and asked, "What's going on inside?"

"Miss Liu's family is inside. Today is Yuanwai Huang's birthday banquet, and there are quite a few wealthy families in the city."

Looking in the direction of Huang's house, it is also a big house.

"How is the guard strength of the Huang family?" This question was asked to Meng Ziyun.

"The Huang family has about seventy or eighty family members, and there are more than a dozen people who specialize in nursing."

A family like the Huang family is very similar to Cheng Dalei's previous big company. The family has a thousand acres of fertile land, a long-term worker who specializes in farming, an accountant who manages the accounts, a housekeeper who manages the big and small affairs of the family, and has maids and servants who are responsible for feeding. Horses, those who are in charge of cooking, those who are in charge of planting flowers, and of course there are those who are in charge of looking after the house, very similar to security guards.

After all, because of people like Cheng Dalei, the law and order in this era is not very good.

Now there are only four people on Cheng Dalei's side, but after going through two battles before and after, they both won more with less, Cheng Dalei didn't feel discouraged at all.

The key is how to escape after successfully robbing people.

"Come on, follow me to see that path."

Tonight's Huang's house is decorated with lanterns and festoons, singing and dancing.

The courtyard is full of tables for the Eight Immortals, full of distinguished guests, all of whom are acquaintances.Today is Huang Yuanwai's 40th birthday. In this era where the average age is less than [-] years old, it is worth celebrating.Even servants have their place, but in a corner.

On the stage is the music troupe raised by the Huang family, and they are performing songs and dances at this moment, full of joy and laughter.

Cheng Dalei has been in this world for some time. According to his feeling, this world is very backward, backward in technology, backward in economy, backward in food, backward in culture... So he feels that everyone in this era is living in dire straits, boring and boring every day.

This thinking is incorrect.

Most of Cheng Dalei's current contacts are people living at the bottom. For them, life is naturally bad, no matter what era they are in.For the nobles of this era, life is actually quite colorful.

There are maids to serve in daily life, including changing clothes, eating, and even going to the toilet.In summer there is no air conditioner, some people operate fans, in winter there is no heating, some people make stoves, and there are no cars and high-speed trains, so naturally some people carry sedan chairs.There is no Internet or live broadcast, and there is a music group at home, performing singing and dancing face to face.If there is no game, you can drive the dog and the eagle out to hunt.In addition, in brothels, poetry clubs, there are bed-warming girls in their teens, who are gentle and well-behaved, and the princess is sick or something, don't even think about it.

Compared with these, eating without chili, information lagging behind, buying things with a cart to pull money, etc., are too insignificant.

Just like today's Huang family's birthday banquet, there are singing and dancing performed by the music troupe in the courtyard, and the talented people who are acquainted in the house gather together, accompanied by the singers invited by the brothel, occasionally compose a poem and have a few drinks.The female relatives are also lively today, getting together to discuss female red, Rouge, and whose son is the most handsome.

Those who can enter the lobby are all Huang Yuanwai's important guests, and everyone sits separately, leaving an open space in the middle.

It is Liu Zhi who is performing the dance in the open space now, no, she should be called by her flower name—Carmine.

Wearing a red dress, with gauze hanging on her face, the skirt flutters when she dances, revealing a pair of three-inch golden lotuses.

This is a dance from Jingzhou. It is said that Emperor Dawu likes it the most.Fallen Leaf City in Youzhou is more remote, and the dance has changed a bit when it is spread here.And Liu Zhi has only just learned this dance, and her movements are far from proficient.

But at a youthful age and a youthful appearance, it is charming enough to stand still in front of him, not to mention dancing with hands and feet, stretching out the twenty-eight-year-old body, which naturally adds a bit of charm.

The people watching the dance drank wine and tapped the table with their hands to the beat of the music.By this time, everyone was a little drunk, and their speech was not as stiff as when they were sober.

"Yuanwai Huang has a lot of face. It's not easy to see Yan Zhihong on weekdays. Today is thanks to Yuanwai Huang. I can be blessed."

"This woman still has a bit of a taste for dancing. Today, I invite everyone to taste it and chat about wine."

"Huiyanlou's top card is naturally different from the vulgar fans. These jade feet are worth a lot of money."

"If Wang Yuanwai likes it, let this woman accompany you tonight."

"Oh, dare not, dare not, gentlemen don't take people's love. But in a few days, I will hold a banquet at home. If I can please Huang Yuanwai's face and invite this girl to my home, I will have to accept Huang Yuanwai's favor."

Accompanied by the sound of music, Rouge danced one after another until her toes hurt and her calves were sore. After drinking another glass of wine, she was invited by the old mother to leave the hall and came to a small room.

"Miss, let's rest here. After the birthday banquet is over, I will send someone to take you back."

Lao Mu put down a letter of money and left, which should be regarded as her appearance fee tonight.

Yan Zhihong was sitting alone in the room, and there was faint music coming from outside the room. She didn't know how to express her mood, and she was always flustered.

With a creaking sound, the door suddenly opened, and a bloated young man walked in.

This is Huang Yuanwai's eldest son, who is currently serving in the city guard. He drank a lot of wine and had a smile on his face.

"Miss Carmine, you look really handsome."

She was surprised: "You, what are you going to do?"

"Haha, what else can I do? Naturally, I want to do Zhou Gong's ceremony with the girl and be that happy couple." He echoed and closed the door.

She ran out of bed and distanced herself from the man.The man giggled, circling around the table like an eagle making a chick.

Tonight, Carmine is already in his pocket, and he doesn't mind procrastinating for a while, enjoying the pleasure of cat and mouse.

In this era, there are opera singers, prostitutes, and people who spend a lot of money, crying and falling into lovesickness.But women in the world are women in the world after all, fourth-class untouchables, how do you say that sentence, oh, I praise you because you are a glass, and when you let go, you are a piece of glass.

Being invited to perform in the mansion, and then being asked by the owner, and in the end it was just a sum of money, this kind of thing is not even news.

At this time, the banquet outside was still going on, with joyful songs and laughter.

Suddenly, a torch fell from the sky and smashed on the stage, causing chaos to the band playing.

"King Toad is here!"

Shouts came from outside the house, followed by
Four fast horses entered the mansion, breaking through the prosperity.
