Chapter 257: Yongqing, a city with a strong character
When the little beggar saw Lin Zhiqing staring at the direction of Wanliu Pavilion with a serious face and ignoring him, he became more uneasy and could no longer hold back his tears, which fell one by one.
Lin Zhiqing came back to his senses when he heard his suppressed sobs.
After all, he is just a child.
She believed what the little beggar had just said.
With the lessons learned from Jiang Liuyun and Liu Mang, Lin Zhiqing paid more attention to facial expressions when meeting others.
The points mentioned by this child can also be considered a kind of psychology.
However, the ignorant children nowadays do not know the definition of psychology.
In his own opinion, he observes more carefully than others.
This child is still young and cannot completely hide his emotions. If he is guided, he may become a psychological counselor in the future.
What's more, now he has accidentally helped himself find a key clue.
After thinking for a while, Lin Zhiqing patted the little beggar's head and said, "I'm sorry, we misunderstood you just now. Please go back to the inn and wait for us. I believe you."
Seeing Lin Zhiqing start to speak softly, Lin Yangyang knew that the little beggar should be fine. She pinched the little beggar's face and said:
"Little idiot, stop crying. Your face is all red from crying."
When the little beggar heard them say that they believed in themselves, his tears fell even harder.
However, he was afraid that the person in front of him would dislike him, so he forced himself to hold back his tears, his chest rising and falling.
"Then... then I'll go... go."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Lin Zhiqing stared at his back for a while, then slowly looked away.
She looked in the direction of Wanliu Pavilion.
I have to say that this place is really incomparable to Shengjing City. It can't even compare to Qianjin Pavilion, the second-class brothel in Shengjing City.
Those coming in and out looked like gentry.
"Sister Qing, what are you looking at? This is just a brothel." Lin Yangyang stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Lin Zhiqing:
"Let's go quickly. My dad and the others don't know anything yet."
"I left a letter when I went out, and we don't have to look for it anywhere else." Lin Zhiqing moved and walked towards Wanliu Pavilion.
"Hey, why?" Lin Yangyang took a step forward and walked beside Lin Zhiqing.
"The willow tree refers to Wanliu Pavilion." Lin Zhiqing explained briefly.
Lin Yangyang was puzzled: "Is this possible? What about the white goose?"
"I don't think Wanliu Pavilion is a place that raises geese."
"This goose is not that goose." Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the man who was making trouble in front of Wanliu Pavilion.
"Did you hear him just now? He called out a name."
"I was only thinking about the little beggar and didn't hear it. Could someone be calling Bai Goose?" Lin Yangyang felt that the name was strange no matter how she thought about it.
Lin Zhiqing shook his head slightly: "No one is called Bai Goose, but someone is called Yan Wu."
"What?" Lin Yangyang was confused.
Lin Zhiqing patiently explained, "In fact, I didn't understand the connection between the white goose and Yan Wu at first."
"But think about it, what comes to mind when you mention Bai?"
"Snow, pastries, and medicinal powder." Lin Yangyang counted on her fingers.
These things are indeed the "white" things that leave a deep impression on people.
If Lin Zhiqing hadn't overheard it by chance, he wouldn't have connected Bai with "Yan".
"Cousin, salt is also white." Lin Zhiqing mentioned.
Lin Yangyang nodded: "That's true, but how could ordinary people think of this out of nowhere?"
"Indeed, I can't. I was able to determine this person's identity because of the last word '鹬'." Lin Zhiqing wrote the word '鹬' on the palm of Lin Yangyang's hand.
This is the snipe in the quarrel between the snipe and the clam.
Lin Yangyang was a little confused at first, but when she knew what it was, her eyebrows gradually relaxed:
"I understand. This word 鹬 does have something to do with geese."
To be precise, it has nothing to do with the goose, but with the two words "I" and "bird" that make up the goose.
Lin Yangyang clapped her hands: "My bird, my bird, isn't that a combination of birds and birds? It is indeed a snipe!"
In ancient times, "yu" meant "I".
After all, Lin Zhiqing came from the previous world and was not sensitive to this word. He did not think of the connection at first.
But she had actually been exposed to it before.
I only love the lotus that grows out of the mud but remains unstained, and washes in the clear water but remains uncoquettish.
This sentence comes from "On the Love of Lotus" and was widely circulated in Lin Zhiqing's previous world.
It's just two words, but it's like deciphering Morse code.
"This is a matter of life and death. Zheng Kuo's son is very cautious. He gave me this clue, but not all of it." Lin Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"If it weren't for today's coincidence, it would probably take us some time to analyze it."
"Sister Qing, you're really smart. You figured it out so quickly." Lin Yangyang praised her without hesitation.
"Let's go find that Yan Yu now."
The two quickened their pace.
Lin Zhiqing was a little worried because there was trouble at the gate of Wanliu Pavilion. If the situation was too complicated, it might be difficult for them to meet Yan Yu.
With this worry in mind, she squeezed into the crowd.
But as soon as she showed up, the crowd was in an uproar and then split up.
The man who was shouting just now was thrown out by two thugs.
Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang frowned and stepped aside.
"Pah!" A woman dressed as a brothel owner walked out, fanning herself and twisting her slender waist.
"Do you really think that anyone can cause trouble in my Wanliu Pavilion? Do you think you can covet Yan Wu?"
"Go away, go away. Don't affect the business of our Wanliu Pavilion."
As the thugs drove away the onlookers, the crowd gradually dispersed. The man who was causing the trouble seemed to have drunk fake alcohol and was awakened by the fists. He walked away in shame.
In this way, Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang, two young men in gorgeous clothes, stood out from the crowd and became very conspicuous.
The madam looked at the two of them, raised the corner of her mouth, and was about to speak when Lin Yangyang walked up to them with a swagger.
Lin Zhiqing followed her.
After entering the door, the madam came up with the usual brothel tricks.
Lin Zhiqing noticed that there were a few women performing singing and dancing in the hall of Wanliu Pavilion, but there were very few women.
Lin Yangyang waved her hand and asked, "Who is the most unique beauty here?"
"Beauties, we have plenty of them here!" The madam laughed so hard that her body shook.
Lin Yangyang's mouth corners were raised, but when she saw the various handsome men coming in one after another, the corners of her mouth fell down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It turns out that the beauties in Wanliu Pavilion are different from the beauties outside.
Are the people in Yongqing County so tough?
Seeing Lin Yangyang was a little surprised, Lin Zhiqing cleared his throat: "I want to find Yan Wu."
"Yan Wu?" The smile on the madam's face grew even wider.
"Of course, it's possible, but Yan Wu is a little special. Only those he respects can see him."
"Then take us to try it." Lin Zhiqing mobilized his facial muscles and made a very expectant expression.
