★Lou Ning’s perspective★
I really don’t know where this beautiful singing came from. I was so mesmerized when I heard it, as if I was in heaven.
That woman was the most observant. When she saw me like this, she came over gently and said, "Isn't it this woman that the uncle is looking for...?"
"Yes, it's this..." I couldn't wait to see her, so much so that my heart became anxious.
The woman looked surprised at first, and then explained with a smile: "That's our oiran here. You are rich, but I don't want to see you. You have a bad temper!"
I did hear someone say that courtesans in brothels can choose their clients. If they don't like you, they won't even look at you.
"I said to this young lady, call your madam here and tell him that I have a lot of money. Call him and see me quickly." The madam can't have trouble with money, right? I just feel a little sorry for Agui and Axin, so I'll just save some money on food these days. (Lao Bustard: refers to the brothel owner)
After a while, a man with a short stature, a wretched appearance, and a mean face came up from upstairs with a smile. When he saw me, he immediately bowed down respectfully and said, "What are your orders, sir? I am the owner of this brothel." , Jinling City, my family is the only one that is the largest, even His Highness King Wu comes here to give rewards from time to time..."
"I asked you, old bustard, what dirty trading methods did you use to monopolize Jinling City? Is there some peerless beauty?" I asked gradually and tentatively.
The disgusting mouth suddenly opened into a slit, revealing its big golden teeth: "I must be a foreigner. No one in Jinling City knows that I, the first-class courtesan 'Shu Feng', is the best in the world!" Lao Nian said on his mouth, and he couldn't stop in his hand, for fear that anyone who didn't know that he looked like a finger and a ring.
"That's why, why not let Hua Kui's beauty next?"
When I said this, the madam looked embarrassed: "It's easy for an oiran to be invisible. What's more, at this time, it must have been long ago..."
I silently placed a piece of silver in his hand. He was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he did not lose his mind: "Master, you see, even though it is a piece of silver, I still have to listen to other people's opinions..."
"Bah!" I threw another ingot of silver and looked at him intently. Agui and Axin, my uncle is sorry for you. In the past few days, I had to dig wild vegetables.
The madam frowned, and just as he was about to say something, I took out the last piece of silver and threw it into his hand.
"Okay! Sir, please come in!" The madam was instantly blinded by my snowflakes. She changed her appearance and bent down to help me over. The feeling of being rich is good.
I slowly opened the star-studded door curtain, and a strong fragrance hit my face, making my whole body numb and numb.
I saw a woman carrying the pipa back in her hand, and the classic Hua Kui's head was covered with a lot of golden puppets, gorgeous and exaggerated.
She turned around and saw her face extremely beautiful, charming, and the eyes like apricot blossoms chanted me, but it made me indifferent.
I saw Hua Kui nodded, and then turned around to stroke his pipa. When I saw this, I lay in my ears and whispered: "Uncle, it's so blessed!" Then he left with a smile and brought it to the door.
At this time, the fragrant house was left with the two of me and Hua Kui. She put down the pipa, gently faded the red robe, and slowly took off her clothes from the shoulders. From time to time, she glanced at me, as if waiting for something.
I forgot that this was a brothel. In line with the principle of men and women not being intimate, I turned my head to avoid it and looked straight out the window.
"You ... it's weird ..."
This like a bird's ears like a beautiful bird, soothe my heart.
I looked at her, but I didn't know what he was talking about. This blue building was where the literati came from, and they were all artistic. What is strange?
When she saw me stunned, she stared at her eyes: "It's so honest, but she didn't do anything when she entered Hua Kui's house ..."
I had no choice but to explain: "What did the young lady say? You are all prostitutes but not your bodies. You are different from those in the brothel. How dare you touch me?"
She laughed at her, like a tender bamboo hand. Covering the gaping lips: "In today's world, there is no such thing as a brothel or a brothel. There is no such thing as selling one's body as an artist."
Not long after these words passed, there was still silence in the room. I was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say: "I don't know how old the lady is..."
She looked at me carefully and sighed softly: "I said I am twenty -four this year, do you believe it?"
To be honest, I really do n’t believe it. I only rely on this sexy and charming figure. It ’s not what the little girl can be pretended.
"It's the age when I started working as a prostitute..."
His explanation made me somewhat relieved. Wait, if I calculated correctly, the year he started working as a prostitute must have been...
At this time, she seemed to be hesitant. If there was something to say, in general, she sighed one after another. If she was at the age of ten, I was forcibly taken away by my stepfather, and then sold me to this ... "
Why can she tell this miserable past? My Adam's apple squirmed: "I'm sorry to remind you of bad things."
"For so many years, no one can understand me and understand me. I can only sigh with a pipa."
I immediately spread out and said, "Really, I was attracted by the sound of the lady that day."
She listened to me, and gently pulled a few strings, and my heart was moved and trembled.
"The adults are willing to listen, and the little girl can sing again." She picked up the pipa, came to me, gently held my arm, leaned there, and sang with his lark-like voice:
“It’s not that I love Fengchen~
Seems to be mistaken by the front edge;
Flowers fall and bloom in their own time~
Sovereign Lord Raito;
You must go eventually~
How to live!
If you have a head full of mountain flowers~
Don't ask where the slave is -
Oh~ah~
Don’t ask where the slave is—"
The last tremolo bounce, my heart seems to have burned the fire of Liaoyuan, but the most difficult thing for adults is that it is clear that they are approaching the fingertips, but they must always weigh and keep some rational.
"This song contains both the author's helplessness of the woman's life of the Qinglou, but also the lady's most tragic past cry ..." I unknowingly shed tears, trembling her lips and asked.
But she said nothing, leaning quietly on my shoulders, as if expressed something to me. But I am a rough person, what do she want to express if I can't understand?
"Miss Shufeng, what is your real name, and what are you knowing your loved ones? Lou Ning just wants all savings to redeem you and go to your relatives and friends." I want to save her, save this A miserable woman.
When she heard what I said, she sobbed in a low voice and responded painfully: "My little girl's real name is Ouyang, her nickname is Xiya. Her father died early, and her mother was tortured to death after she remarried her stepfather. I don't remember any relatives."
Ouyang Xiya, this is probably a poetic name. She was supposed to be a pure and graceful girl, but she didn't want to create things and fool people, and she ended up like this.
"Miss, don't you recognize any friends?" I continued to ask tentatively.
Her eyebrows like half willow leaves trembled slightly, and she begged me as if she was grasping hope: "I just remember that when I was young, I called a little boy 'Brother Jin,' but I don't know his last name."
"He is the only person who is kind to me except my mother. But later I heard that he and his mother froze to death outside the Liu Mansion. Some people also said that he was rescued. In short, after so many years, I don't know him at all. Dead or alive.”
I sighed and decided to be a good person and stick to it: "If this is the case, take me to redeem you and live with me first. I will send someone to help you find him. I will!"
When I finished speaking, she was extremely surprised, and then she knelt down in front of me and cried loudly: "Thank you, sir... Thank you, sir..."
All in all, I pawned the money I got from eating grass roots. The madam was very reluctant at first, so I had to agree to him a hundred taels of silver and set up a written note.
Although I don't understand why the madam believed me so easily, at least he let me go. Now there are four of us in the group. As for helping him find friends, I have no idea for the time being.
From her description, it can be seen that the man is about the same age as him, and the name mentioned in it, I actually know one.
That was Han Jin, the king of Yue who planned the "Anti-Zheng Alliance". I laughed out loud thinking about this. How could it be him? It is absolutely impossible. It must be the official family of Han Jin.
The four of us returned to the hotel and arranged for all the matters of tomorrow and fell asleep.
To be continued…
