Chapter 237: Under the Qingluo Courtyard
Although Li Muer was "sold" into this "Qingluo Courtyard", she did not have the slightest consciousness of being forced to become a prostitute, and she wandered around every day, and she couldn't make a "hero save her life" little woman posture, but became the object of jokes that people in this courtyard liked.

Fortunately, she didn't get angry, because both the Oiran and the little girl loved to talk and laugh with her.
In addition to reciting poems, Li Mu'er usually doesn't talk much, and occasionally says two or three sentences, most of which are not the same as the donkey's lips. The girl in this courtyard only said that this good-looking and outstanding woman was born with little strings.
In addition, the bustard named Chun Niang also has her own secret plans that no one knows, and she specially instructed her subordinates to take good care of them, except for those few places to go, she can move around freely in this "Qingluo Courtyard". So Li Muer hasn't suffered much in the past few days.
Li Mu'er is pretending to be stupid, not really stupid, naturally she will not inquire about the news everywhere like those novels that are flooded with rivers and lakes, brothels are fireworks places, and the people who come in and out are both dignitaries and dignitaries, as well as down-and-out literati, it can be said that all the three religions and nine streams are gathered here, and the women who can occupy a place in it, which one is not an eight-sided and exquisite character.
If you want to know some useful information in the mouths of these people, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others, and most of them will get twice the result with half the effort, so she was looking for those low-level little guys at the beginning.
If there is anyone in this "Qingluo Courtyard" who can know everything up and down, it is probably Chen Aniu.
Chen Aniu was not originally called Chen Aniu, and he also had a decent name, but he was just a subordinate after all, and he had been living in a dilapidated house converted from a cowshed on the edge of the stable. After a long time, the person in charge "gave" him the name A Niu, but fortunately, he still retained his surname, which was not insulting his ancestors.
Chen Aniu is on duty in the miscellaneous room, and has done the work of serving tea and water for nearly ten years, although he is also the old man of this "Qingluo Courtyard", but he is always just a shabby little guy who receives a few dollars a month, and he is the most inferior person in this courtyard that everyone can call.
is such a small guy, in this courtyard, but he is also a popular character, why? In addition to the fact that he was born with a good skin because of the virtue he accumulated in his previous life, it is also because he has the skill of washing fish and bleaching.
There are no less than 20 people doing this work in the entire "Qingluo Courtyard", but there are only fish floats in his hands, without a trace of fishy smell, and they are light. If you want to say that in this land of fireworks, whether you are the top brand or an oiran, or a dignitary, the least is this thing.
When Li Mu'er saw him for the first time, he was resting in the room in the backyard, and when he saw the wine jug in Li Mu'er's hand, he obviously swallowed his saliva, it seems that his knowledge is not bad.
This "Qingluo Courtyard" is a place of fireworks, yes, but it is also the most silver-burning gold cave in the city, he naturally knows that the pot of wine in Li Mu'er's hand is from Huiji's best daughter Hong, and it is worth two taels of silver outside, and the price in this courtyard is as high as five taels!
After all, Chen Aniu was not a stunned young man who had just entered this courtyard, and naturally knew that there was no free lunch in this world, so he got up quickly, and subconsciously half-bowed his body and said: "Sister looked at the eyes, I think it was the sister who could chant poetry a few days ago, my sister came here to agree, and she still carried such good wine, didn't this torment me?" "The words are not leaky.
Li Mu'er smiled: "You have a sister, don't you call me old, I have heard, you have been in this courtyard for more than ten years, we can't tell who is bigger." ”
"Sister, isn't this a joke for me, I'm a subordinate like me, how can I be compared with my sister."
Li Mu'er smiled, didn't say anything, sat down at the only table in the room, and poured a glass of wine for each of them, this wine was half-snatched and half-deceived by Li Mu'er from Sun Zhan, and he was reluctant to take a sip.
The wine has not yet been drunk, but the aroma of the wine is the first to spread the whole house, Li Muer didn't say a word, and drank it all first. Chen Aniu was not pretentious, and also picked up the wine glass and drank it dry.
Li Mu'er didn't ask questions as Chen Aniu thought. Half a jar of wine is exhausted, and she always only talks about some idle topics, but this woman is not as stupid as others say, which makes Chen Aniu feel strange.
Li Mu'er didn't explain his intentions, and he didn't want to ask himself, so the two chatted and drank like this. When the jar of wine is exhausted, Li Mu'er is fine, but Chen Aniu is really a little superior. But even so, when Li Mu'er got up to go out, Chen Aniu still barely stood up, half-hunched over, and sent to the door.
He was still drunk after all, and the moment the sachet on his waist hit the ground was unknown.
Li Mu'er bent down to pick it up, put her hands on Chen Aniu's hands, and inadvertently saw a line of thin small characters embroidered on the sachet: "Lin Hua thanked Chunhong, it was too hurried, and she had no choice but to come to the cold rain and the wind at night." Rouge tears, stay drunk, when is it heavy? Since people grow and hate the water, they grow and hate the water! ”
The latter's face was solemn at first, and then he was relieved and said "thank you". watched Li Mu'er leave, groveling as at the beginning.
Li Mu'er, who returned to her room, had just sat down and poured herself a glass of water, when Sun Zan appeared secretly out of nowhere, looking at Li Mu'er with a puzzled expression.
Seeing this, Li Mu'er couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you want to ask why I pretend to be stupid in front of others, but I am willing to take risks in front of Chen Aniu, an inferior guy?" ”
Sun Zan didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence. Li Mu'er explained: "Originally, I really just wanted to learn more about the people and things of this Qingluo Courtyard from Chen Aniu. But now, I am afraid that the success or failure of our trip will probably be pinned on this young man. Sun Zhan's face was even more suspicious, but Li Mu'er just muttered: "The Chen family in Jiangnan is the most proud, how can they be deceived by pretending to be crazy and stupid." With that, he went out the door, leaving someone behind him with an inexplicable face.
………………
For the next three days, Li Mu'er appeared in front of Chen Aniu with wine.
Just like that day, Chen Aniu was still diligent and leaky, and just like that day, the two were just chatting and laughing.
On the fourth day, Li Muer came with wine as usual, and she seemed to be familiar with the way.
And Chen Aniu has been waiting at the door for a long time.
Li Mu'er sat down in this simple room, and after pouring wine for the two, she still boldly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Chen Aniu never moved.
Li Mu'er didn't urge, and drank by herself cup after cup.
But after three glasses of wine in a row, Chen Aniu never moved, and in the end, Li Mu'er couldn't hold back first and asked, "Why don't you drink it?" ”
Chen Aniu, who was supposed to be just the lowest level of the market, was not as diligent as before, but asked endlessly: "Are you from King Jing, or are you from the capital?" ”
Li Mu'er put down her wine glass and smiled brightly, Sun Zhan, who had been secretly protecting Li Mu'er, had already had a storm in her heart at this time. (To be continued.) )
