Walking along the corridor on the second floor, various noises could be heard from the rooms on both sides from time to time. The sounds gradually faded away when we almost reached the end of the corridor.
"Xiao He, mother has brought Young Master Xiao to see you~" Before Xiao Han knew it, the madam stopped in front of a room close to the north, knocked on the door with his hand, and called inside.
"Mama Liu, I'm a little tired today and don't want to see guests." A voice that sounded both lazy and helpless came out of the room.
The sound is very nice and feels so comfortable in the ears. Xiao Han couldn't help but wonder what its owner looked like.
The old madam on the side glanced secretly at Xiao Han, gritted his teeth, and shouted inside: "Daughter, Mr. Xiao is a guest of our governor and city guard. He is also young and promising. He even composed an impromptu poem there just now! Although Mom, I don’t understand this, but the city guard and the governor are both applauded! Don’t you like poetry too? Why don’t you come out and meet him?”
After the madam finished shouting, the room became a little quiet. After a while, a voice came: "Mr. Xiao? But that Mr. Xiao who tried to cure the plague?"
Hearing the response from inside, the madam was overjoyed and nodded quickly outside the door: "Exactly, exactly!"
There are always various rules in this world. The Madam is also a smart person. She already knew Pei Ji's identity completely when he called Xiao Han Xiaohou. But the rules of the brothel are that when a guest enters the door, he can only call the guest, never his position, and even his name is taboo! After all, people who come here to have fun don't want the whole world to know about it, so she can only tell the people in the room in a vague way. Now that she understands what's going on, she is naturally happy.
Through the wooden door, a little light came on in the room. A soft voice said from inside: "Well, please wait a moment, Mr. Xiao, while the slave family cleans up."
"Okay! My daughter, you have to dress up beautifully!" Xiao Han didn't say anything, but the old madam answered with a smile. Somehow, Xiao Han suddenly felt that she was a little afraid of the woman inside.
This feels very strange!
The brothel madam is not a good person! After all, she has dozens or hundreds of girls under her control, and there are also handyman Turtle and other chaotic people who want her to control them! A good-natured person cannot do this job. Could it be that he ran away secretly for fear of offending the people inside? So what kind of wealth does she have to have to be treated like this by the madam?
Xiao Han was lost in thought when the door in front of him opened with a creak.
Under the dim light, a pretty figure appeared in front of Xiao Han.
What kind of woman is this? ! Even Xiao Han was stunned after seeing her! He even said unconsciously: There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent! Look at the Qingren City once, then look at the Qingren Country!
Beauty! The beauty who captivates the country! Even more beautiful than Xue Pan! Xiao Han never thought that there would be such a beautiful woman in such a place. A delicate face, big eyes, a small cherry mouth and a small nose. Just as the saying goes: If you add one point, you will get more, if you subtract one point, you will get less!
The madam looked at Xiao Han's dumbfounded look and smiled like a fox who stole a chicken! He blinked at Xiaohe a few times and quietly retreated.
"Master Xiao, come in and sit down..." Watching the madam leave, the girl named Xiao He smiled at Xiao Han, and for a moment, the whole world seemed to brighten up.
"Ah? Oh!" Xiao Han suddenly came to his senses, quickly agreed, and followed her into the house.
Welcoming Xiao Han in, Xiao He gently closed the door. Xiao Han, whose face was a little red, also took the opportunity to look at the room and tried to calm down.
This room is not big, much smaller than the room I was with Pei Ji just now! Besides, apart from a set of tables, chairs and an open screen, there was almost nothing else visible inside. It was extremely shabby.
He wanted to take a look behind the screen, but Xiao He suddenly stood in front of him with a red face. Xiao Han suddenly thought that behind the screen should be her embroidery bed.
We are gentlemen, not hooligans and perverts! Xiao Han was a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and returned to the table to sit down. He watched Xiao He with reddish cheeks light a pillar of sandalwood and sat down gently.
"It smells so good!" Xiao Han smelled the sandalwood and praised it with a smile, but suddenly found that Xiao He's face turned even redder! Chinese characters are always like this, and it can easily lead to ambiguity if you are not careful.
"Ahem, I mean this incense is very fragrant... No, the sandalwood I ordered is very fragrant!" Xiao Han explained a few words in a panic, but Xiao Han found that the more he explained, the more confused he became...
Xiao He looked at Xiao Han and suddenly smiled, and then said softly to Xiao Han: "Young Master Xiao, you're welcome. You have a distinguished status. You should have seen these little things a lot."
"Oh? You know me?"
"Well! How could the slave family not know that Mr. Xiao, who ventured into Plague City and saved people with his wonderful skills? Not only the people of Seoul are grateful to Mr. Xiao, but the sisters in this brothel also admire him..."
"Um, thank you for the award!" I don't know how to answer this person. I am grateful to the brothel woman, so I don't think I want to repay the favor with my own life... Xiao Han suddenly realized that his own thoughts were evil enough!
Xiao He smiled slightly and said nothing. Instead, he took a small box of tea leaves and began to make tea skillfully.
The tea she makes is very traditional: she uses crushed tea leaves, adds orange peel, cinnamon and other ingredients, then brews it with boiling water, and finally adds suet and it's done. Every time Xiao Han saw someone drinking tea like this, he always felt that they were drinking suet soup instead of tea.
Xiao He's movements of making tea were smooth and beautiful. Only then did Xiao Han dare to be sure that she definitely came from a big family! Ordinary people would never play with tea like this.
The lights flickered, illuminating the girl in a unique way. Xiao Han was suddenly curious about this girl.
Don't books always write about a young lady from a wealthy family who accidentally falls into prostitution, and then meets a young and wealthy young master, and the two have a touching story?
"Master Xiao, please have some tea." The girl held the tea bowl and gently brought it to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han reached out to take the tea bowl without drinking, and just held it and asked her: "The girl's name is Xiao He?"
The girl nodded slightly and smiled reluctantly at Xiao Han: "Yes, Xiaohe is the name of the slave family here."
"Oh? What's that girl's real name?"
"..."
Xiao He frowned slightly, shook his head slowly and said, "Master Xiao, please don't ask me about my real name. My family is already living here, so it's okay not to mention my real name."
The frown on Xiao He's face made Xiao Han's heart tremble, and he subconsciously said, "That's because I'm being rude..."
Raising his head slightly and glancing at Xiao Han, Xiao He whispered: "I don't blame Mr. Xiao, this is all fate."
"Destiny..." After sighing, Xiao Han felt a little confused in his heart. Who said there is no destiny in this world? Is it not fate that brought me here?
My heart is so blocked, and I suddenly want to find someone to talk to about the things that are suppressed in my heart! The candlelight flickered, and the special fragrance of sandalwood became stronger and stronger. Looking at the little lotus in front of me, it seemed a little hazy.
