Cao Xinghe is the eldest son of Ying Tianfu Yin, and Shao Linghang grew up in a small way, and he is also the number one in the capital. Eight years ago, Master Cao was promoted, and no one in the capital took care of him, and he caused a lot of lawsuits. Seeing that this was not going to work, Master Cao donated a petty official to bring him to Nanzhili to watch.

Shao Linghang came to Nanzhili this time to worship his ancestors, Cao Xinghe saw that he was coming, and naturally wanted to be the host, and greeted a group of close friends, and took Shao Linghang to the Qinhuai River.

People naturally want to prepare it for him, but Shao Linghang is very resistant.

Cao Xinghe poured him wine all the time, making him eight points drunk, and coaxed him into the wing. Afraid that he would shirk, he also moved a desk against the door, thinking that this time it should be done, the boss is not a small person, it is not good if he is not fishy, and his body can't stand it.

He locked people up, turned his head and entered another girl's house, Wushan ** was so unhappy. I couldn't get up in the morning, and I was tired of the girl, and suddenly there was a lot of noise outside. The girl went out to inquire about it, and when she came back, she said to him with two eyes: "The boy who came with the master yesterday brought a large box of silver to ransom people. ”

After hearing this, Cao Xinghe raised his hand and patted his head, "Oh no, I forgot the temper of this ancestor." ”

The girl served Cao Xinghe and dressed, and asked curiously what kind of temper it was, Cao Xinghe snorted at the corner of his mouth, "This ancestor, if it is his things, others don't want to touch it again." I also forgot, I just thought about making him fishy, who would have thought that he would have to redeem people. If Jingli knew that he would redeem a Qinglou fan and go back, the matter would be a big deal, and I wouldn't be able to eat and walk around in front of my father. The more he talked, the more he beat the drum in his heart, Cao Xinghe waved his big hand, and walked out while wearing his belt.

There were not many people in the corridor on the fourth floor, but on the third and second floors, there were more fresh people.

Cao Xinghe is heart became cooler the further down he went, and when he got downstairs, he saw the box full of silver ingots, and his face immediately changed color, "Ling Hang, what are you doing here?" ”

Ask while knowing the answer.

Shao Linghang picked up the tea brought by Yu Niang, looked at Cao Xinghe through the heat, and said coldly: "Redeem people." ”

Cao Xinghe pulled the circle chair and sat next to Shao Linghang, and argued with him with a bitter face, "Linghang, this place in Qinglou, even if you have a good time, you still have a real mind?" ”

Shao Linghang glanced at him, drank the tea unhurriedly, and when the tea cup fell on the table, he also said loudly: "My woman, I want to take it away." ”

Cao Xinghe couldn't help but inhale, but he was not the only one who inhaled. Such domineering words came out of the mouth of such a domineering person, and they were so domineering that they shocked the Quartet. Upstairs and downstairs, including Yu Niang, they all wondered about his generosity and domineering. There was no one in the Qinglou, and there were more people talking big, but there were a few people like him who came with real knives and guns carrying silver.

Yu Niang likes such guests, so she beckoned someone to come, "Go and find Ke'er for me." ”

"Wait a minute." Cao Xinghe stopped and continued to argue with Shao Linghang, "How much money do you have?" Ten thousand? I know you're not short of money, and the 5,000 gold reward for the first prize is enough for you to play for a while. But you must know that if you redeem 10,000 taels of Qinglou fans and go back, your family will be turned upside down. ”

"Are you afraid that you will hurt the pond fish, and your father will trouble you when you turn around?" Shao Linghang stared at him.

Cao Xinghe was hit to the point, and his face froze, but since they all said it, things were easy to do, "Yes, I don't deny this." But you also have to think clearly about the relationship between your family and the palace, you don't want to marry you, turn your head and go south to redeem a Qinglou fan and go back, what is this for, can't you slap your head in the face? ”

"I've got my own measure." Shao Linghang frowned, "Since you think so far-reaching, what did you do when you put the table outside last night?" ”

Cao Xinghe was so deflated that he couldn't speak when he opened his mouth. However, when he was bored, his eyes swept over the box on the ground, and he couldn't help hissing, glaring at Yu Niang: "Ten thousand taels, you really dare to make a price, don't you know the market?" Someone wanted to redeem the lotus life that was full of flowers, and the old bustard only dared to open three thousand taels, and your flowing firefly was not an oiran, and he dared to ask for ten thousand! has caught up with Qianniang ten years ago. If you really want to kill people, be careful that Lao Tzu lets you bleed first. ”

Yu Niang has been in the industry for 20 years, and there are few people who dare to stand up with her, Ying Tianfu Yin's son really can't afford to provoke, this person who came with silver and has given marriage must be either rich or expensive. But at the moment, she didn't have any timidity, but had a very long face, holding her shoulders and waving her hand with a smile, "It's not Liuying who this master wants to redeem." ”

"Not a firefly?" Cao Xinghe was taken aback.

Last night, he did push Shao Linghang into Liuying's house, there was a figure in the house, he saw it. But if it weren't for the fireflies, the only one who lived on the top floor would be ......

He choked his throat, "Ling Hang, are you going to redeem the Oiran Jindie?" I can still help you press it when you redeem a Qinglou fan, it's a big deal if someone stays in Nanjing, and I will send someone to take care of you. But you can redeem an Oiran...... If you walk on the front foot, Qin Huai will be lively on the back foot. It is estimated that Kyosato Ming'er will be able to get the news. ”

"I said, I'm in my own hands. There are also ......" Shao Linghang raised his eyebrows, "She is not a fan of Qinglou, her mouth is cleaner." ”

Cao Xinghe snorted him in his heart, he had arrived at the Qinglou, and his mouth was still a clean fart. But looking at his posture, he even cares about the title like this, and people probably have to take it away. Ten years ago, the matter of 8,000 taels of ransom for Qianniang is still talked about. He ransomed 10,000 taels of people, but if there is a good show, he will be beaten when he goes home.

"Where's she?" Shao Linghang's patience has been exhausted by the grinding of Yu Niang and Cao Xinghe. The cold face showed a little impatience, and the sharp eyes went straight to Yu Niang, "She didn't have a deed of sale here, you accept the silver, I will take it away, and don't be involved in it in the future." ”

Yu Niang nodded in response, waved her proud jade hand, and the subordinates around her immediately ran upstairs.

Shao Linghang's eyes followed, and when he saw that the railing upstairs was full of people, he suddenly frowned deeply and showed a fierce light. But then a thought flashed through him—

The downstairs was bustling like this, and everyone in the house came out to see, but she didn't show up for a long time. Is it that you don't want to show up, or is it ......

Already ran?

Shao Linghang remembered the desolate smile under her beautiful face, and those translucent eyes reflected a woman's rare strength and independence. Even if you are already in danger, you still don't want to rely on anyone. She may not have believed him, but he could see that she should have never expected anyone but herself.

If you do not rely on it, you will not hope, and you will not be disappointed.

He saw her mind at that time, so it was futile to say anything, and it was better for him to do what he said. He was lucky to meet such a woman. He wanted to take her away, Qinglou was not the place for a woman like her. If she wants to go back with him, he dares to fight for her in the palace and family, so as not to let her float outside; If she doesn't want to go back with him, he's going to give her a freedom.

However, he was afraid that he was about to pounce. She doesn't seem to be a woman waiting for someone else to come to her rescue.

Shao Linghang smiled bitterly, it was the first time he admired a woman like this. It's not about love, it's not about sex, it's just about appreciating her personality and independence. Although it was only one night, he seemed to see through her.

The feeling is subtle.

At this time, there was a sound from upstairs, and a figure suddenly flashed out of the railing on the fourth floor, with uncombed hair and hanging on his shoulders like splashing ink, looking down at the railing, as if he was surprised. Then the figure stumbled down, and when it reached the staircase in the center of the second floor, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

The moment Shao Linghang saw her, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It seems to be a blessing, but also a little excited.

But really, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lifting his robe, Shao Linghang's demeanor was extraordinary, "I'm here to pick you up." ”

After Su Ke left Oiran's wing, he went straight back to the wing room in the corner of the fourth floor. Standing by the window and blowing the cold wind in the morning, my eyes were astringent, I had a headache, and my whole body was sore, so I couldn't support it and collapsed on the bed. Outside, she woke up but didn't open her eyes, thinking that the guests who had just spent the night were starting to leave.

It didn't take long for someone to knock on the door.

Cai Sheng was very excited when he entered the door, "Sister Ke'er, your good luck is here, come down with me." ”

Su Ke panicked, thinking that the matter of picking up customers was exposed, and Yu Niang might want to give her a loud sign. Her already bloodless face turned a little whiter, and she couldn't stand steadily.

But Caisheng asked: "How did my sister know that master, who was able to let him pay 10,000 taels to redeem his sister out?" ”

Su Ke couldn't believe it, standing on the railing on the fourth floor and looking down, he never thought it was really him.

I'm here to pick you up. He spoke so loudly.

Su Ke's heart pounded against her chest, and for a moment, she really felt that he was a good person. But for a moment, when she stepped forward with her legs limped and rolled down the second floor with Gollum, all unrealistic thoughts vanished.

Redemption does not mean that you are free in exchange.

When she picks up customers, she is no longer the Su Ke she used to be, she wants to be reserved but has no capital. He came to redeem her, and she was his. For her, it is just a change from a green building to a back house, the former is a cage, and the latter is also a cage. What's the difference. Besides, a woman who was redeemed from the Qinglou, what place would he give her?

His concubine, or his outer chamber?

Su Ke closed her eyes and went around in circles, she still couldn't carve out a way to survive for herself.

……

"I didn't have any external injuries, why haven't I woken up yet?"

"This, judging from her pulse, has a weak body, although she rolled down from the second floor, but her head did not hit any hard objects. Judging by the old decay, she was just asleep. ”

"Quack!"

Su Ke heard the sound of tears in his clothes, opened his eyes faintly, and saw Shao Linghang holding an old man in one hand.

That old man Zhongsu can recognize it, and he specializes in treating the girls in these green buildings on the banks of the Qinhuai River. Quacks are not enough, but he is better at gynecology, and his best prescription is abortion pills. Su Ke had never been healed by him, and he was glad that he had not been healed. However, she just picked up a guest yesterday, and today she was sick by Lao Langzhong, which shows that her fate is really going to disappear with the Qinhuai River.

"Awake?" Shao Linghang threw Lao Langzhong out of the house and walked back to the bed in a few steps.

Su Ke raised his eyes to look at him, his lips moved, and there was no half of joy on his face.

Shao Linghang's mind was clear, and he understood, "Don't want to go with me?" ”

Su Ke was stunned for a moment for his wisdom, and a wry smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, "I just want to leave here, I don't want to go with you." ”

Shao Linghang knew it in his heart, and said loudly: "I'll take you away, you will still be free in the future, you can go wherever you want." ”

Su Ke was extremely shocked, "10,000 taels redeemed me, but ...... No, no, no, Childe doesn't have to do this for me. As he spoke, he stood up, but Shao Linghang raised his hand and pressed her shoulder back.

"You and I had a night last night, and I should be responsible for you. Ten thousand taels is nothing to me, and I think you are worth ten thousand taels. Shao Linghang said these words without changing his face, his eyes were slightly burning, but not enthusiastic. Afraid that she would still want to argue, she changed the subject, "What are your plans to get out of here?" ”

Su Ke is not hard-hearted, Shao Linghang's actions to her, although he is responsible as he said, is already a gentleman's doing. Her throat suddenly felt sour, a woman's grievances were the most unbearable, and people who seemed to be beaten with iron had soft hearts. She held back, and because he asked, she didn't think much about it.

"I'm from the suburbs of Beijing, and I'm going back to the suburbs of Beijing. It's hard to find a job in Beijing, but now that I have a little money in my hand, I'll try to do some small business when I go back. ”

Shao Linghang pondered, sat down with the pestle next to the bed, and asked tentatively: "I have a friend in Beijing, the family has a large population, and there is a shortage of people to take care of housework. Would you like to go? The position is not very high, but it is very tiring, but it is better to deal with it in the house than to eat and drink outside. What do you think? ”

This is naturally good, but I don't dare to trouble him again.

Su Ke hesitated, but Shao Linghang took out a greeting note from his arms, "Take it and go directly to the house and find the housekeeper Furui, he will know that it is me when he looks at the post, and he will definitely arrange an errand for you when he looks at my face." ”

Su Ke was literate, took the post and looked at it, and found that Baiqi turned out to be the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

Xuanping Hou Shao Linghang, that is the younger brother of the concubine in the palace.

"Childe's friend is Master Hou?"

"Exactly."
