Chapter 7 Wandering Thoughts Alone Pity
The night shrouds the alleys, rows of pavilions hide in the night, and the stone pavements reflect the moonlight and stretch into the distance. The full moon building has a red light hanging and is very lively. The inside and outside of the building are charming and enchanting, men and women hugging each other, and the fragrant laughter makes the eyes of many passers-by suddenly brighten, and they can't wait to see the light song and dance of the fat swallow and thin immediately.
In front of the door of the red cloak, a woman dressed in fancy clothes greeted Mo Ruxue. The delicate sound came into my ears, and there was a tingling.
"Childe is a good face, he is a new guest in the Full Moon Building, come to Xia Lian's side, Xia Lian will definitely make Childe eclipsed. ”
Xia Lian pulled Mo Ruxue into the Full Moon Building: "Don't be shy, the slave family will serve the son well." ”
The small red bridge lies on the stream, the exquisite terrace is reflected in the pond, and the environment in the full moon building is extremely luxurious but quiet and beautiful. On the exquisite rockery, there are not only trees carved from jade, but also lotus carved from white jade.
Mo Ruxue stretched out her hand and gently touched the tip of Xia Lian's nose: "The beauty just spoke and made Zai Xia eclipsed, but today I am here to find your mother." ”
Xia Lian's smile trembled, and she pressed her body close to Mo Ruxue: "Childe really loves to laugh, how can anyone come here to serve his mother?"
There is a bamboo forest in the courtyard, and the bamboo forest is lush and layered under the bright lights. The spring breeze of Yan has not yet diluted the residual cold, and the new bamboo shoots will become tender green, faintly revealing their heads in the spring night.
"The beauty doesn't know, I'm looking for your mother so that I can find you every day in the future," Mo Ruxue hugged Xia Lian, slowly put her hand into Xia Lian's belt, leaned into Xia Lian's ear and whispered: "What, why don't you take me to see your mother soon?"
Xia Lianjiao smiled and opened Mo Ruxue's hand with a fan, and said, "Childe is so bad, how can anyone do such a thing outside." The third room on the left, where my mother is. Afterwards, don't forget about the slave family. ”
The strong smell of fat powder mixed with the fragrance of sandalwood fills his side, the hollow carved window is covered by red curtains, and the jade hand stretches out, and the crystal curtain moves. One person is wearing red clothes and standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror to comb his makeup, and his slightly tired figure is still graceful.
Mo Ruxue saluted the old bustard with her back to her: "I've seen my mother below." ”
The old bustard turned his head from the bronze mirror and said in surprise, "Childe has entered the wrong room?"
A soft bed is placed on the inside, and a screen full of birds, beasts, insects and fish stands on the bed, blocking the brocade quilt and revealing only one corner. The table made of sandalwood is carved with patterns and placed in the center of the room. Mo Ruxue put the piano bag on the table, and the white hairband on her head fluttered with the movement.
She said seriously: "No, I heard that my mother was beautiful in her early years, and I want to feel my mother's demeanor when I came down to the Full Moon Building tonight." ”
The old bustard's graceful figure leaned against the bronze mirror, holding a thin silk in her right hand to cover her mouth and chuckling: "At present, the old lady is a mother who can be a son, it is rare that the son does not dislike it, there are still many warblers and Yanyan here, and the son really doesn't think about it?"
Mo Ruxue said: "Those warblers and Yanyan don't fit their appetite, they only like their mothers." ”
The door is always wide open to give you an unobstructed view of what's going on inside. The old bustard suddenly got up, shut out the hustle and bustle of you coming and going, and then approached Mo Ruxue step by step.
"Childe really wants to?"
Mo Ruxue blurted out: "I really want to do it." ”
As soon as the words fell, the old bustard dragged his swaying figure and pounced on Mo Ruxue. Due to the injury on her left shoulder, Mo Ruxue didn't dare to move, so she had to stop while retreating: "Mom, wait a minute, don't be impatient." ”
The old bustard not only didn't stop when he heard Mo Ruxue's stopping, but the movements in his hands intensified, and he said in a trembling voice: "What are you waiting for, you can't wait for this matter." ”
The white hairband fluttered to the ground, and the bustard's enthusiasm caught Mo Ruxue by surprise, and she was forced to freeze on the bed and let the bustard tear her clothes. The clothes on the upper body were quickly torn off, and the skin on the neck was exposed to the cold air, and Mo Ruxue couldn't help but shrink a little.
The old bustard gasped and asked, "Why didn't Childe move?"
Mo Ruxue closed her eyes helplessly, her rosy lips stood out on her slightly pale face, her thin body trembled occasionally, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and her chest continued to rise and fall with her breathing.
She said calmly, "Mom has to let me slow down." ”
"Slowly?" The old bustard looked at the snow-white neck, and unconsciously moved his hand to Mo Ruxue's chest: "Isn't the son ......?"
Different from the man's touch, the old bustard snorted coldly and pushed Mo Ruxue away: "Sure enough, no wonder the son asked the old lady by name, it turned out to be a female son-in-law, the girl is afraid that there is no misunderstanding about the Full Moon Building?"
Mo Ruxue pushed the bustard away, got up from the bed and straightened her clothes, and said: "The little girl didn't mean to tease her mother, but because of the sudden change in her family, she had nowhere to stay, and she wanted to enter her mother's Full Moon Building as a courtesan." The little woman knew that it would be difficult for ordinary people to enter the Full Moon Building, so she made this decision......"
The old bustard crouched beside the desk, put his hand on his cheek, and squinted his eyes and said, "What does the girl mean to be a courtesan and not a leather business?"
Mo Ruxue said softly: "Exactly." ”
The old bustard stretched out his hand, palm facing up: "Yo! It depends on the girl's sincerity." ”
Mo Ruxue put a bag of silver taels on the table: "Is it okay to have a hundred taels of silver?" If not, when the family is stable, the little girl can give some later." ”
The old bustard glanced at Mo Ruxue unexpectedly, and pretended to be calm: "In addition to the silver taels, it also depends on the girl's skills." ”
Mo Ruxue pointed to the piano bag with her hand, bowed her head and said shyly: "The little girl is good at the piano, if my mother doesn't believe it, she can test the little girl's piano skills now." ”
Putting away the money bag, the old bustard asked, "How old are you this year?"
The sound of the flute wafted outside the room, wisps and melodious. Mo Ruxue touched her face with her hand and said gloomily: "Twenty-six years old." ”
The old bustard's fingers tapped on the table for a while, and sighed, "I'm a little older." That's it, for the sake of you being so worthy of the Full Moon Tower, I'll leave you a bite to eat, old lady. Since the old lady has accepted a hundred taels of silver from you, she will not force you, and you can choose your own name. ”
Mo Ruxue hugged the qin and saluted: "Thank you, mother, the slave family will use the name that has not been out of the cabinet before, Xue'er." Also, Xue'er injured her left shoulder strap when she was down, and asked her mother to find a doctor for Xue'er. ”
On the west side of the Full Moon Tower, where the courtesans lived. Most of the courtesans who live here only sell their arts, not their bodies. The old bustard ordered the man to clean out a long-empty room, arrange the necessary items for Mo Ruxue, and write his name on the plaque in front of the door. Although this room is not as luxurious as the old bustard, it is also a good place to stay. Mo Ruxue put down the layers of curtains, at least enough time to slowly inquire about Lin Sirou's news.
After a while, the bustard brought back a healer and a few companions from outside. Mo Ruxue thanked the bustard and motioned for the bustard and a few men to go out, leaving only the doctor. Empty room, filled with the smell of dust.
Mo Ruxue sat behind the curtain, and under the light, the shadow of her hair was like a snake winding and coiling, showing an upward state. Her thin lips opened lightly, combining her smart breath: "The slave family dares to ask the doctor's surname." ”
The white-haired doctor saluted the tent, and his voice was extremely old: "Don't give your surname Zhang." Girl, please go out of the account first, and let the old man check the wound. ”
Wearing clogs, her feet walked out of the curtain lightly, Mo Ruxue bowed to the doctor, and her colorful dress set off her slender figure. Walking to the light, she sat down slowly: "The slave is injured in the left shoulder, and it is an arrow wound." ”
With the help of the light, Doctor Zhang slowly peeled off Mo Ruxue's clothes on her left shoulder. I saw that the bloody wound was about three inches away from the vital point, and the bloodstained arrow could no longer see the original color.
He picked up tweezers from the medicine box and carefully cleaned the dirt around the arrow.
The wound was very painful, and the whole person was pulled together when he touched it lightly. Mo Ruxue clenched her teeth and was drenched in cold sweat: "Thank you, Doctor Zhang." ”
"Miss Xue'er's injury has been a little long, and if you take out the arrow, I'm afraid it will be very painful," Doctor Zhang used tweezers to check the part where the arrow was shot, shook his head and said, "The old man suggested that the girl find someone to accompany her, so as to alleviate the pain." ”
The dried blood flowed out of the wound again, and Dr. Zhang kept wiping it with a white cloth. Looking at the white cloth stained with blood soaked in the wooden basin, Mo Ruxue said hoarsely: "No need, the slave family can endure it for a while." ”
Doctor Zhang nodded, picked up the knife and shook it back and forth on the fire a few times: "Okay, the girl bear with it, and the old man will try to shorten the time as much as possible." ”
I don't know what Doctor Zhang was looking for in the wound with tweezers and a knife in his hand, Mo Ruxue only saw in the bronze mirror that his hand speed was extremely fast, and his forehead showed fine beads of sweat like herself.
"Hmm......" Mo Ruxue couldn't help but snort, and her body twitched a few times.
Doctor Zhang pinched the arrow at the wound with tweezers, and said in a calm tone: "Miss Xue'er will endure for a while, and it will be fine immediately." ”
After half a stick of incense, the water in the wooden basin turned blood-red, Mo Ruxue bit her hair, and she could feel that Doctor Zhang was pulling the arrow out little by little. With a "poof", the arrow was completely pulled out, and Doctor Zhang grabbed the white cloth in front of him and pressed the wound on Mo Ruxue's left shoulder. After a while, the rate of bleeding slowed down, and Dr. Zhang sprinkled the wound with hemostatic medicine, then covered it with a white cloth and wrapped a bandage on Mo Ruxue.
"The arrow has been taken out, and the girl should be glad that the injury is not in the critical part, otherwise the girl's life would have been lost," Doctor Zhang took out a pen and paper and wrote down a prescription on the table: "Don't pick up customers in the near future, this can prevent the girl from having a fever, and don't take it until the injury is healed." ”
Mo Ruxue took out a pair of steps in the piano bag, held the table and stood firmly, she was angry, and when she heard it, she knew that it was caused by the pain of the forbearance: "Thank you, this hairpin is worth three taels of silver, please don't tell anyone when you leave the room." ”
Doctor Zhang put away the medicine box and said, "Take people's money and eliminate disasters and diseases for others, and Miss Xue'er can rest assured." ”
It's still noisy outside, and the Full Moon Tower is like a city that never sleeps, even if the whole world is silent, it's still lively here. The sound of dogs and horses is all here, even if all the family wealth is scattered, even if it is difficult to find a trace of true love. Sending the doctor away, Mo Ruxue pressed the prescription under the pillow. In the thick of the night, the thoughts were long, and the mother's face appeared in front of me. With tears blurring her eyes, she slept quietly against the screen on the bed.
