Ruan Jun's mouth was tightly gagged, and he could not utter a word. He only let out a desperate whine in his throat. His tightly tied body kept struggling and twisting, but he could not break free of the rope.
Two lines of clear tears slipped from the corners of Ruan Jun's eyes and fell on Xue Lu drop by drop.
Xue Lu was stunned for a moment, and continued to complain: "Ruan Jun, you are no longer a young lady. You are in your thirties, and you have lost your appearance. There are still people to care about. This is a good thing. My son, why are you crying? It’s not like I haven’t served these distinguished guests before, why are you pretending to be a chaste and martyr woman now?”
Ruan Jun closed his eyes. In the past, he had no choice but to live. In the past, he had thoughts and thoughts. As long as he could live, he could do anything. Now, the thoughts are gone. It is better to die than to live. It's all over.
The night is getting darker, the clouds are clearing and the fog is dispersing. The moonlight in Pingkangfang is gentler and lingering than elsewhere. Open the long window and see the moonlight in the sparkling water in the courtyard. The wind gently blows away the ripples, and the floating light is broken into pieces. Ripple away.
Tuoba Fuyun felt that the room was a bit stuffy. Even though he and Han Changmu were the only two people in the room, and even if he opened the window, the residual strong smell of powder was still a bit overpowering. It was clear that he had not drunk much wine, and he was stunned. I got a little drunk.
He stood at the window and blew the night breeze. The wind in Chang'an City was slightly fragrant and moist, not as dry as Tuguhun, and had a slight earthy smell.
He squinted his eyes slightly and saw two figures walking strangely through the night. They seemed to be carrying someone on their shoulders. Their long hair was hanging down behind them. It looked like, well, it was a girl.
The moonlight shone on her face, and in the dark night without a burning lamp, her features were clearly visible.
The person walking in front was surprisingly Xue Lu, the envoy of the Jiaofang.
Tuoba Fuyun let out a light sigh and laughed dumbly: "The tricks in this monastery are no less than those in brothels outside."
Han Changmu walked to the window in confusion, looked over, and smiled.
Watching the two men carrying the girl walk to the corridor, the light of the lantern shone on the girl's face, and her tears were shining brightly.
Tuoba Fuyun was stunned for a moment, slapped his thigh heavily, and rushed out of the room quickly.
Han Changmu blinked and followed him slowly.
After the two of them went downstairs, they did not see Xue Lu and the others. Tuoba Fuyun was so anxious that he grabbed a mother in charge and asked with a pale face: "Where are the people? Where are the people!!"
The mother in charge was grabbed by Tuoba Fuyun and staggered, almost falling to the ground. Seeing Han Changmu following behind her, she knew that she couldn't afford to offend these two people, and she couldn't understand why this man suddenly became angry. She just stayed with him. The smiling boy stuttered and said, "Sir, who are you talking about?"
Han Changmu hurriedly stepped forward, took Kaiba Fuyun's hand, and said gently and calmly: "No one, we drank too much, send us to the Feng Pavilion where we will stay overnight."
The mother in charge immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she had drunk too much. She said that she could not be so impatient. She hurriedly called four pretty maids, helped Han Changmu and Tuoba Fuyun, and went to the Wind Pavilion. .
Tuoba Fuyun didn't know what was going on, but he didn't know the Jiaofang as well as Han Changmu, so he obediently said nothing and allowed the two beautiful maids to support him and pretended to be stumbling out.
Walking in the twists and turns of the corridor, the shadowy light shone down on the head, the cold wind blew by, and most of the alcohol smell disappeared immediately. Han Changmu walked forward briskly, and asked unintentionally: "Where is Xue Lu, why don't you come in person?" Come and serve me."
The beautiful maid smiled sweetly: "Don't be surprised, sir. The prince of Tubo has just arrived. He asked to listen to Mrs. Ruan's music when he was called. Mr. Xue took the time to say hello. After a while, he brought the ladies to see you. Let your Majesty Pick.”
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows, with a real drunken look on his face, not pretending at all, and casually asked with a big tongue: "Is the prince of Tubo also in Feng Pavilion?"
The maid did not doubt that he was there and said softly: "Yes, the prince is on the second floor. Master Xue just sent Mrs. Ruan there."
Tuoba Fuyun couldn't bear it any longer, uttered a curse word, pushed the beautiful maid away, and ran towards the Wind Pavilion. The sound of footsteps was deafening, and he disappeared in an instant.
The beautiful maids looked at each other and asked in horror: "Da, Da, Sir, what's wrong with that Sir?"
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "I drank too much, so I found a place to vomit." He pursed his lips and suppressed a smile: "Ignore him, send me to Feng Pavilion first."
The sound of the gold, stone, silk and bamboo in the Wind Pavilion is particularly low and quiet, and the music played is not the elegant music often played in the workshop. If you listen carefully, it is somewhat similar to the melodious music in the flower house outside.
There is no hall in the Feng Pavilion. The four floors are spacious rooms with rich decorations. A copper flower plaque is hung at the door of each room. The single character of the official prostitute's name is engraved on the front, and a begonia flower is painted on the reverse.
If this flower sign is hung at the door of a room, it means that there is someone in the room. Generally, in order to avoid suspicion, the flower sign will usually be hung upside down, with the name of the official prostitute hidden, and the begonia flowers facing outward.
Tuoba Fuyun went up to the second floor and even turned over a few flower cards, but didn't see Ruan Jun's name. He was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat, and he turned over the flower cards so much that they made a crackling sound.
The doors and windows of the room at the end of the second floor were closed tightly, locking out the sound of wind and coldness, and isolating the movement inside. Only the flower sign with the word "Jun" engraved on it hung silently on the door.
Dai Shan was sitting on the bed under the window, expressionlessly looking at Ruan Jun who was tied up and gagged on the bed. He glanced at her for a moment and smiled sadly: "Ms. Ruan, I don't want this prince either." I've been going around in circles with you, you solved the secret in that song, and I will redeem your life and give you a sum of money, so that you can escape from the sea of misery."
At this time, Ruan Jun was not wearing the veil, and her whole face was exposed. The tip of her nose was missing a piece, and there was a very deep tooth mark. Her two cheeks were also pitted and covered with tooth marks. , it is true that she is ugly, but she is not hideous either. It’s just that in this face-valuation workshop, she is really the one who should be rejected.
When she heard Daishan's words, her almond-shaped eyes widened with a blank look on her face, but a trace of fear and surprise clearly flashed through her watery eyes.
Dai Shan waited for a long time, but did not wait for Ruan Jun to speak. He suddenly reacted and said sadly: "Oh, my mouth is blocked and I can't speak. Okay, I, the prince, will help you. "
He lazily walked over and got in front of Ruan Jun. He did not reach out to take the handkerchief in her mouth, but instead touched her uneven cheek.
His hands were huge and covered her face, covering her face tightly, only revealing her eyes as quiet as a deep pool. He sneered twice: "Although you have ruined your face, you are older than me." You are ten years old, but your eyes are so beautiful, call me..."
He murmured, covering Ruan Jun's face with one hand, and slowly pressed it against her body, pressing her on the bed.
There was a loud "boom" and choking dust filled the room.
"Who, don't risk your life." Dai Shan was startled, got up from Ruan Jun, roared violently, and walked towards the door with his strong body like a hill.
The two doors hit the ground and were broken into several pieces. A shoe print was clearly printed on them. A creaking sound came from the door. Someone walked into the room stepping on the broken door, and then started joking. He sneered twice: "Hey, Prince Daishan's taste is quite strong. You are so hungry that you can't choose what to eat."
After the dust cleared, Dai Shan looked at that handsome face, with disdain and jealousy flashing across his face, and he spat viciously: "It's you, Fu Yun, no matter how heavy my taste is, it's not as bad as yours."
The loud noise of kicking the door had already alerted the people in other rooms. They all put on their clothes and came out to watch the fun. They were talking and pointing while watching.
These people are all regular visitors to the flowers. One look at this posture and you can tell that they are two people vying for the same flower girl.
It’s just that I don’t know how beautiful and fragrant the flower girl is, that she can cause such a big trouble.
Tuoba Fuyun turned sideways and saw Ruan Jun on the bed. Although his clothes were messy, Daishan obviously hadn't had time to do anything yet. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief without showing anything on his face and continued to chuckle jokingly: "Yes. Ah, I have strong taste, what, Prince Daishan wants to steal someone from me?"
Daishan was stunned for a moment and looked at Tuoba Fuyun inquiringly, trying to get some clues from his face, but his expression was calm and he had a frivolous smile, just like the most ordinary pleasure seeker.
Daishan narrowed his eyes slightly. The Tuoba Fuyun he knew was indeed a playboy and lustful, and he regarded eating, drinking and having fun as his life. He thought that maybe this person was really obsessed with Ruan Jun's pipa skills and had no other thoughts.
If so, there is no need for him to fall out with Tuoba Fuyun now.
He grinded his teeth and smiled mockingly: "You want the woman who ruined her face?"
Tuoba Fuyun raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "It's the same whether you turn off the lights or cover your face."
Han Changmu, who was following behind, happened to hear these words, staggered hard, almost fell to the ground, and cursed involuntarily.
That makes damn sense.
Daishan was also choked and speechless, with a gloomy face, as if there was going to be thunder and lightning and a heavy rain in an instant.
He saw that Tuoba Fuyun was not giving in, and he saw Han Changmu standing at the door with his arms folded. He could not defeat Han Changmu, nor could he compete with Tuoba Fuyun's mouth that made everyone angry, but he refused to give in easily. He slowly walked towards Walking towards the door, when he passed by Tuoba Fuyun, he said angrily, "You should take it easy, be careful that your legs are weak and you won't be able to walk out of this workshop."
Tuoba Fuyun smiled casually: "It doesn't matter, I brought the sedan here."
Dai Shan was so angry that he tossed his sleeves and went downstairs.
The onlookers thought that there would be a fight, but unexpectedly it was just a quarrel, and they immediately went back to their rooms without any interest.
Xue Lu also let out a long sigh of relief, and walked to Tuoba Fuyun cautiously, apologizing again and again with a grimace.
