Chapter 157: Ten Years of Huihui
In the Nanshan City of the Mortal Realm, You Ning went around and came to the door of the third family in Dongxiang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Knock lightly on the door three times, and a man answered the door from inside.
After a while, a young man dressed as a Confucian came to open the door.
The Confucian scholar was slightly stunned and asked, "Are you..."
You Ning said: "I'm just a messenger, can I ask if there is a daughter in the house who thinks the name of Huihui?" ā
The man was stunned again, and said: "My family is thin, I only have two sons and no daughters under my knees, and my wife's name is not Huihui." Is the girl in the wrong place? ā
Youning frowned slightly and asked, "Have you always lived here?" ā
"Oh, that's not it." Confucian said: "I bought this house seven or eight years ago, and I only know her husband's surname Chen. ā
"So, do you know where the Chen family has moved?" Youning asked.
The Confucian scholar's face was slightly stagnant, and he seemed to be a little difficult to speak.
You Ning was anxious, but said softly: "I am entrusted by someone, and a letter must be delivered to her, otherwise I will lose my trust, if Mr. knows, he must tell me." ā
The Confucian scholar looked left and right in embarrassment, and said, "I advise the girl to find someone else to deliver this letter." ā
"Why?"
"Where the Chen family is, the girl can't go."
You Ning had a faint bad premonition in her heart, and said, "I'll take care of it, you tell me where she went first." ā
The Confucian scholar went out sideways, pointed to the alley and said, "Except for the alley to the left, there is a family surnamed Liu, and she is there." If the girl goes, be sure to find someone to accompany her, and if not, I will accompany you. ā
"Thanks, it doesn't have to be." You Ning thanked him and walked in the direction of the Confucian finger.
After walking hundreds of steps, I saw a family surnamed Liu, this family seemed to be very wealthy, and the two red lanterns at the door were lit early.
At this moment, a plain carriage slowly came in from outside the alley. A middle-aged man with a burnt face got down from the carriage, and when he saw that he was well dressed, but this complexion made him look like a man with a lack of wine.
He looked sideways at Youning, smiled lightly and asked, "The girl is also here to find a way?" I see that the girl is alone and helpless, so it is better to go back to the house with me, five hundred taels of silver, are you willing? ā
You Ning said: "I'm looking for Huihui, do you know her?" ā
"Megumi? I remember that she was really popular for a while, but now she is just a low-class prostitute, and she is known to those who come often. ā
As soon as these words came out, You Ning was really confirmed, and Hui Hui actually entered the door of the secret prostitute.
She didn't ask, but replied, "Keep your money for prostitution, and I won't mix it." With a wave of his arm, he opened the door and swaggered in.
The man saw that the door opened between You Ning's sleeves, thinking that he had met some chivalrous woman who was walking the rivers and lakes, he was stunned at first, and then he was full of interest and walked in.
You Ning broke into the door, and an old man with a rickety back came forward and scolded: "Whose ignorant little girl came here, do you know what kind of place this is!" ā
You Ning's heart moved, took out a gold ingot from the storage bag, handed it to the old man, and said, "I want to see Huihui, is this gold enough?" ā
"Enough, enough, enough!" The old man took the gold with both hands, and shouted inside: "Please invite this distinguished guest to the Xiangyuan!" ā
Several young women came out inside, and Huan Fei Yan was overwhelmed.
The man who came in with Youning smiled in a low voice, and said to the old man: "Oh, what a beautiful little girl, but it's a good mouthful, it's a pity, it's a pity." ā
The old man smiled and said: "There are no wonders in the world, is Uncle Song still here to have some witty words?" ā
"Well, ask her to stay with me." Between the words, he glanced at Yu Ning's back, and said in a low voice: "Any kind of girl is easy to find, only such a cold charm emanating from the bones, tsk, it's really hard to find in the world." ā
The old man glanced at his eyes and thought about it.
You Ning followed a few people to a quiet flower hall, sat quietly for a while, and heard footsteps in his ears. The shadow was separated by a beaded curtain, and two little maids sat in front of the piano table with a girl in their arms.
"You're Megumi? Chan Thi Hui Hui? ā
The woman's body trembled and said, "The slave family is exactly." ā
You Ning raised her eyes and looked at the maid on the side and said, "I want to talk to her, you guys go down." ā
"Yes." The second daughter silently withdrew.
The door closed again, Youning stood up, opened the beaded curtain to look at the woman with her head hanging slightly, and said, "Why do you do this?" ā
Hui Hui followed the voice, tilted her ear, but raised her head, and said, "Everyone around here knows that the girl must have come from a foreign country and haven't heard of it." ā
"It's my first time in Nanshan City."
Megumi smiled, and it wasn't until then that Youning realized that her eyes seemed to be invisible, and she couldn't help but reach out and shake it in front of her eyes.
Megumi smiled and said, "I am indeed blind, the girl does not need to be suspicious. The expression on his face was very cheerful: "I am old and blind, so I am the lowest prostitute of the Liu family, and I usually accept all kinds of lowly guests, but it is the first time I have met a girl and called my name." Is the girl a stranger in the rivers and lakes, or is she really good? As she spoke, she began to undress herself.
You Ning frowned slightly, disgust welled up in his heart, and said, "Your husband gave me half his life, and asked me to send you a letter for him." ā
The expression on Huihui's face gradually froze, and she could see that those eyes without brilliance seemed to flash with resentment for a moment, her voice trembled a little, and she said slowly: "That year, Jingyu went out to do business, and it has been almost ten years now, and if Xiaobao is still alive, he will be fifteen years old." ā
Jingyu, is it the name of the golden rooster on the peach tree in Taodu Mountain?
Xiaobao, probably their child, right?
Yu Ning sat on the couch beside her and said, "Ten years, what happened?" ā
Megumi smiled, her face exuding warmth, and she spoke slowly.
Chen Jingyu left his wife and children to go out for business.
After half a year, there were businessmen in the family who came to the door with the bill to collect debts, she couldn't see with her eyes, and she didn't know what was happening, but the county official was promoted to the court, and the signature was indeed from her husband's hand.
Although the husband has not been heard from, everyone said that he must have died long ago when he met a robber on the way. The compensation here is one by one, and the family's foundation is almost hollowed out.
Half a year later, the family's situation deteriorated, and there was no food and clothing.
It was the winter of the second year that Chen Jingyu left home, and the last servant of the family left.
Xiaobao had a fever in the middle of the night, and she told that every day should not be called the earth. But a mother's instinct, she hugged Xiaobao and ran out of the house with the only few copper plates for help.
