Hangul is very capable, and it solves all the troubles with just one letter. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Han Wen's letter to the Dongzi merchant happened to be delivered to her sister, Xiaoxue.

The eldest lady that Lao Jiang and Xiaoxue often mention is Hangul, who has been missing for more than half a year. Receiving her sister's letter for the first time in more than a few months, Xiaoxue was extremely excited, she finally had a clue to find her sister, and she couldn't wait to open the letter. As a result, I was disappointed, and there was only a short sentence on the letter-

I'm fine, I'll go home right away.

She's messy. What do you mean by being very good? What do you mean by going home? I didn't find you, and we didn't even see you and asked us to go home?

She was a little lost, a little sad, and a little annoyed. After traveling for months, traveling thousands of miles, and coming to the Central Plains, I finally got news of my sister, and the result was a letter asking her to go back. She was confused, and she felt like she was being tricked.

"What does this mean?" the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, thinking that I had been played by someone, Xiaoxue slapped it on the table.

At the end of the table, Liu Changnan, who was drinking tea, had just put down the tea cup because of that palm, and the tea cup fell to the ground. “...... Don't be angry, your sister is doing this for your own good. Besides, it's better for her to write to us than not to write at all, right? He silently picked up the teacup, not having the heart to drink anything.

Xiaoxue frowned, put her hands around her chest, and walked around the house, "No, I must find my sister, she must be in Dongzi, since she sent a letter to Lao Jiang and named us to receive it, this fully shows that she knows that we are here to find her." ”

"Hmm. Liu Changnan nodded approvingly, "The analysis is very correct, Wenwen should be in Dongzi." ”

"Then why didn't she come to us. Since she knows that we are looking for her, why won't she come?" Xiaoxue was distressed, sitting on the Taishi chair with one butt, her legs raised and stretched, and her posture was indecent.

"Probably...... I'm still angry. Liu Changnan guessed.

"You mean Hanaqi? How long has it been, she can't see it like this. She sat up straight and said in surprise, "Could it be that she has already seen it and won't go home?"

Liu Changnan looked at her gaze and froze for a while, and only then did he exhale a breath, "You girl is thinking nonsense again, Wenwen won't go home." You are her own sister, and no matter how much she hates it, she will not abandon you. ”

She tilted her head, her mind spinning a thousand times, "Hmm...... That's right, my sister won't leave us, she's a willful, nonsense, and reckless person. I know what my body is like, but I don't have a snack yet, and we are the only ones who are worried. ”

Only a few people know about Wenwen's heart disease, in fact, only those of them who are called "family" by Wenwen know. It's been almost five years since they came to this world, and whoever has an accident is bad news, which is why they have traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains to find people.

Liu Changnan felt sorry for Xiaoxue, a little girl walked alone in thousands of rivers and mountains, looking for her sister for thousands of miles. He blamed himself for caring more about her at that time, so that he wouldn't realize that she was gone, and when he found out that she was gone, it was too late to find her. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to finally find her, and now that the other person had a clue, the big stone in his heart was loosened a lot.

"Wenwen must have her intention to let us go back, don't think about it, maybe she has already gone back. ”

"Impossible! If she goes back, Da Yin will definitely pass a message to us, but after so long, there is no news at all, she must still be here. Xiaoxue looked back at Anan, and her determined eyes told Anan how much she trusted her instincts and judgment.

Anandon felt weak-minded and asked her, "What do you want to do?"

"How about we stay here a little longer?"

The corners of her eyebrows were raised, the corners of her mouth were raised, and her smile was full of playful things.

Anan knew that something was wrong, this girl's addiction to play had come up. "You said so much, and you did it for a long time, but in fact, you were unwilling to play with your own sister here, but you went back, right?"

Xiaoxue blinked, and smiled better in her heart, "Anan who knows me." I just didn't feel good, she ran away from home without saying a word, I came all the way here to look for her, she was fine, she sent me a letter, there was no door! Now that I know that she is very good, we don't have to worry, I can go to play with confidence. She wants to send me back to play by herself, she wants to be beautiful, so I don't want to listen to her. ”

"You ......" Liu Changnan stroked his forehead, and a sense of powerlessness was derived from his back. With his understanding of these two sisters, he will never go back if he doesn't play thoroughly, probably Wenwen thought of this, so he added a sentence on the back of the letter - Anan Please be optimistic about Xiaoxue. It's better to prevent problems than to prevent them from happening.

Xiaoxue still couldn't follow her sister's orders, Anan really couldn't take good care of her in the few days she was crazy in Dongzi, thinking that she had a bit of brains and good martial arts skills, so she let her go. After a few days, except for the first few times, I asked her where she went to play, and in the end he ignored it.

Two

Xiaoxue, who disguises herself as a man, often goes to Luoyu Street to wander, come and go, some people in the Qinglou courtyard in Flower Street are familiar, she has nothing to do with those wandering children, talented and affectionate girls play flower cards, pass flower drums, and even write love letters to tease some gentlemen, and have fun in it.

On this day, as usual, she wrote love letters to tease others, Xiaoxue used her heartfelt words, wrote seriously, and blushed when she saw it, even she felt embarrassed. I wonder if the person receiving the letter will be so excited that he will have a nosebleed over his head?

The love letter is entrusted to Xiao Er to be sent, I don't know who it will be sent to?

For fun, she asked Xiao Er to stand at the door and count the number of people, and when she counted the twentieth man, she gave him the love letter, and didn't answer whatever the man asked.

Xiaoxue and a group of flowery girls hid on the second floor, secretly looking at the hall on the first floor. They wonder who is unlucky enough to receive a love letter.

It's just that what shocked Xiaoxue was that the twentieth man who was "lucky" to receive a love letter turned out to be the second prince of Nanchu - Huang Li.

As soon as Xiaoxue saw Huang Li coming in, she reflexively squatted down and hid behind the girls' skirts.

"Childe, what are you doing?" said a girl with a shy look on her face, and trotted towards the end of the hallway.

Xiaoxue had nothing to cover herself, so she hurriedly looked for the next girl so that she could hide. Who knows, the usually bold and charming girls blushed one by one at this time, and played hide and seek with her, she went to grab their skirts, and they ran, so angry that she forgot the person below for a while. "I'm just looking for something to hide. ”

When the girls heard her say this, they stopped, and ran to her, and circled her inside. They puffed out their cheeks and pretended to be angry:

"Childe is so bad, how can he tease our sisters like this. ”

"What scared our son-in-law so much that he wanted to hide, we couldn't tell us that we would be angry. ”

"Yes, Childe said quickly. ”

"Little Boy ......"

Xiao Xuedian felt a headache, and the spell-like "Childe and Child" lingered in her ears. She was very upset with this group of women surrounding her, but she usually recited poems to the moon with them and drank and had fun, and these women really regarded her as a talented and amorous son. Isn't this a metaphor for the fact that she is the same thing as those teased boys?

It is absolutely unacceptable.

Even if she dresses as a man, she has to be one level higher than a man in acting on the spot.

"Be quiet. Xiaoxue waved her hand, suppressing their coquettish noise. If you don't calm their voices anymore, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the people below. "Let's go inside and play a game, my new game lately, it's fun, who of you want to play?" she winked at them.

The girls' interest was aroused, and they clapped their hands and cheered.

Xiaoxue dragged herself into the house by them helplessly, but fortunately, the girls knew a little about the rules of Qinglou Flower Lane, and closed the door as soon as they came in. In order not to let people outside disturb the people inside, most people will not disturb the room when they see the doors and windows closed.

"This game is very simple, write down our wishes on paper, stuff them into a bag, embroider their respective names on the bag, and let Xiao Er send our bag to the guests below. Then let's see which of us will be lucky enough to have their wish granted. Xiaoxue knelt at the table, picked up her pen and scribbled her wishes on a piece of paper. "Don't look at me all the time, start writing. ”

The girls gathered around the table, their faces embarrassed, and they all looked sad and angry.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiaoxue finished writing her wishes, put down her pen, and asked with concern: "Are you worried that you can't write?" It's okay, I'll help you write. ”

"Childe, we can't write, or even read. The girl next to her couldn't hide her shame, and her voice was low, "It's good for a woman like us to have a foothold in the world, and only rich children with clean backgrounds can learn this kind of thing, let's ...... How can we have such an opportunity? ”

The more he talked, the more sad he became, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn with the loss of the girls.

The women of the world are lowly and lowly, and the women of Huajie have no place to stand, and their status is not even comparable to ordinary Bai Ding.

Bound by the world, morality is as cheap as dust here, and only power and money can open the way to life.

Xiaoxue's heart throbs, secular ideas bind a woman's life, and she has no freedom at all, it is precisely when she sees this kind of discrimination against women in this world that she will walk the rivers and lakes in disguised as a man. Since she crossed into this world, she has hated this discrimination in her heart, but she is a woman, although she doesn't want to admit it, she has the heart to change this discrimination. After all, the idea of male power and low female power has been passed down for thousands of years, how can it be so simple to overthrow.

So she sympathized with what happened to these girls, but she couldn't do anything about it.

If only my sister were here, she would definitely find a way to save them.

Xiaoxue thought of her sister, and then remembered her sister's words - what is difficult in the world, as long as you have the courage and ability, even if it is earth-shaking, but what cannot be changed, as long as you do your best.

"What you can't change, just do your best. Xiao Xue silently recited this sentence in her heart.

Yes, since you can't change it, just do your best and don't regret it.

Xiaoxue stood up, ran to the table where the scroll was placed, smoked a stack of papers, turned her head back to the girl's pile, and said while writing: "Half of the opportunity is given by God, and the other half is fought for by yourself. ”

"Childe?" The girls opened their apricot eyes and watched in puzzlement as the white jade-like Childe wrote with a dragon flying and a phoenix.

What are you doing?

What does Childe mean by that?

None of you there understood.

After Xiaoxue finished writing, she held the paper and said excitedly: "I wrote down your names, you told me what you are best at, and I will write a resume for you." ”

"What's your resume?" the girls asked.

"It's the proof of your proper work in the future, so that people can know what you will do. Xiaoxue replied.

"But......" the girls were both excited and nervous when they heard this, "we are Qinglou women, and no one will ask for anyone to work for, not to mention that our deed of sale can be in my mother's hands." ”

"Is it a deed of sale?" Xiao Xue held her chin and thought for a moment, "This is not difficult, anyway, I have a lot of money, and it is enough for you to redeem yourself." ”

The girls were stunned: "Redeem yourself, the son wants to redeem us for us!"

The women in the Qinglou have always been unable to get in and out, so it is not easy to redeem themselves.

"More money doesn't redeem you. The girl in the green cardigan beside her sighed in frustration.

In these days, Xiaoxue knows this girl, and she is also one of the few people she remembers her name.

The girl's surname is Mi, her name is Mulian, she is a sweet-looking woman, and she is versatile, and she is one of the few people in the Qinglou who can read and write. She had a miserable background, and like most girls, she was sold here, but she was sold by her own father.

Originally, Mi Mulian was a descendant of a down-and-out nobleman, but the family was already dilapidated by her generation. His father was in debt due to his gambling addiction, and in order to pay off the debt, he ruthlessly sold his daughter. Once the woman of the family enters the Qinglou, where will there be any hope of going out, her reputation has been ruined, her innocence is gone, and the reputation of the prostitute in the Qinglou on her head is enough to ruin the woman's life.

The proprietress of the Qinglou saw that she was good-looking and a talented woman, so she praised her as a treasure, and rarely let her come out to pick up guests, and only when a rare big man appeared, she would be confessed as a trump card. Therefore, there were many rumors about her in the market, and she was given the title of Wood Lotus God, which was the same as the reputation and status of the Oiran.

The crown of the Wood Lotus God is a kind of humiliation for the Mu Lian, she has the family integrity in her bones, and being sold to the Qinglou by her father has made her ashamed and resentful;

She is a good cash cow, no, it is a gold ingot, how can anyone be stupid to put this piece of good meat and not make a profit.

The proprietress of the Qinglou had already prepared the price, and waited for her to open the door to pick up customers in the future.

Even though she is unwilling, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves, she has no right to resist, life can not be held in her hands, she can only be slaughtered, and the dire life has long worn her to the point of losing hope in life. Living in darkness, living in shame, family history, innocence, etiquette and ethics...... All of them are gone, and some are just smiling and pandering to flattery.

The spirit of the family or something, it is nothing here at all, and it can't even compare with the price of a hairpin.

Mi Mulian gradually recognized her fate.

Now, when Han Gongzi said that he wanted to help them redeem themselves, she was first surprised, and then thought that it was impossible. Other girls may be able to, but she is stared at by the proprietress to death, how can she let her go.

She was grateful to Han Gongzi for his kindness, just talking about it was enough to make her heart happy, and she didn't dare to accept such a great kindness. She was no longer clean, and she didn't want to defile the white jade-like son.

Xiaoxue didn't understand the meaning of Mi Mulian's words, and asked puzzledly: "If you have money, you can't redeem yourself?"

Mi Mulian nodded, and said bitterly: "Childe doesn't know yet, the big owner of Luoyu Street is the property of the Miao family, and the courtyard of the entire street is an asset under the name of the Miao family, and the mothers of Hualou are all using money to do things for the owner, so our deed of sale is not in the hands of my mother, but in the owner's place." ”

The Miao family is one of the three giants of Dongzi and the gate of famous merchants. Who dares to spread wild in their territory, so few succeed in being ransomed.

Xiaoxue scratched her head, things were really unexpected, she really didn't know that the owner of Luoyu Street was the Miao family. But having said that, she didn't want to be a treacherous person and lose her manners. What's more, she did feel sorry for Mi Mulian, such a good girl was sold by her father, and she really wanted to beat her father to death.

"It's okay, since I said to help you, I will definitely keep my promise. She raised her eyes and looked at the girls like a hundred flowers, "You are all good girls, you shouldn't be buried here...... she was interrupted halfway through her words.

"Han Gongzi!" The door was pushed open, and the little er who delivered the love letter stood at the door, and there were two tall and strong men in Tsing Yi with cold faces standing behind him.

At first glance, it is not good. Xiao Xue first glanced at Xiao Er, who was drenched in cold sweat, and then set her eyes on the two men.

She had a gut feeling that nothing good was going to happen next.

The situation really developed as her intuition, and Xiao Er said that a noble person wanted to see her, so he sent someone to invite her over. said that it was an invitation, but it was more like coercion, and she was sure that the second prince sent someone to arrest her.

The girls didn't know why, thinking that a noble person was coming to find trouble, so they all fought for Han Gongzi and stood up to prevent others from taking Gongzi away.

Xiaoxue was both moved and helpless, they may have been mistaken, this time it was not that someone came to trouble her, but that she really angered others.

"Beautiful girls, maybe an old friend has come to me, I'll come as soon as I go. She turned back and gave the girls a soothing smile, she was afraid that if she didn't leave, she was afraid that the two men outside the door would forcibly take her away. Fortunately, these two men are interested, so I invited her over.

Xiao Er led the way in front, followed by evil.

Xiaoxue was in no mood to comfort herself, so she quietly pooled the money and asked Xiao Er in a low voice: "What's wrong? Where is this going?"

"Childe, you're in trouble. Xiao Er's voice trembled, as if he was frightened, "I did as you said and gave the letter to the twentieth man, but when the man saw it, he found the proprietress and said that as long as we handed over the person who wrote the letter." ”

Xiaoxue stroked her forehead, "You betrayed me, didn't you?"

Xiao Er bowed his head weakly and said: "Childe is angry, I don't dare to betray you, but that person is too terrible, I said I don't know, I didn't expect him to ...... in front of everyone Killed a girl, with a sword...... The proprietress was shocked and frightened, forcing me to recruit you out. ”

Xiao Xuesuo's eyes widened, and she cried out in disbelief, "What?

Xiao Er squinted, cleverly noticed the expressions of the two people behind him, and hurriedly warned him: "Childe, don't panic, this matter is not strange here, it is a little cowardly, and he confessed to you only when he cared about his own life." ”

"I know, you don't have to blame yourself, and you blame me for causing you trouble. Hearing that Xiao Er was telling her to pay attention to the people behind her, Xiao Xue put away her surprised tone in time.
