Chapter 9: Hope is humble

In this way, Zhuang Fei stayed, there will still be people in Changfeng Lou to talk about it, but he doesn't dare to be clear, occasionally there will be a top brand of small stings and sarcasm, Zhuang Qinghong ignored it, and Zhuang Fei didn't care.

The situation is already very bad, and Zhuang Fei has no heart to deal with those who don't care.

Maybe it's because he has been doing the work of a person for many years, Zhuang Fei, who is not strong, but he also survived the wind and cold tenaciously, and the fever subsided on the third day, and he got up to ask Zhuang Qinghong to get up.

It's just that the eye contact between Zhuang Fei and Zhuang Qinghong is obviously less.

Zhuang Fei was worried that Zhuang Qinghong would be forced to keep him, and he was still annoyed by him to avoid being angry; Zhuang Qinghong felt guilty, and he couldn't bear or want to see the gloomy feelings in Zhuang Fei's eyes.

But kneeling in the snow for a long time still brought certain sequelae to Zhuang Fei, it seemed that he had arthritis, and he was fine in the house, as soon as he went out and the cold wind blew, he felt that countless needles seemed to be poured into his knees, and his wrists were also very sore.

Zhuang Fei gritted his teeth and didn't complain at all, he couldn't let Zhuang Qinghong make him a little dissatisfied, and he couldn't let Zhuang Qinghong have a little excuse to send him away. Now Zhuang Qinghong does not require him to read poetry and literacy, Zhuang Fei does not dare to enter Zhuang Qinghong's study again, nor does he dare to take the book to read without authorization, but when Zhuang Qinghong goes to the study, Zhuang Fei will stay at the door of the study, mark on the floor, and silently read the poems he has read before.

King Jin will come over from time to time, and Zhuang Fei will take the initiative to avoid it. That prince seemed to be the same as he promised, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary to Zhuang Fei again.

A few days later, when Zhuang Fei was silent again, Zhuang Qinghong called him into the house, and Zhuang Fei's heart that had been hanging for so long finally let go.

It is good that there is no longer a huge gully in the heart, and the abyss of the human heart can never be filled, even if all methods are exhausted. The most difficult thing to maintain and repair is the human heart and feelings.

***

Although what he knows is only the soul of "Zhuang Fei" who died early, and the brief and extremely important events given by the contract, like information like a video painting, Zhuang Fei also knows that Zhuang Qinghong is very smart, and he will not fail to see through the truth of this, so now Zhuang Fei is just angry, Zhuang Qinghong should hate Qi Jing's amorousness, so even if it is ......

As long as Zhuang Qinghong's anger passes, he will think about Zhuang Fei's loyalty, his exploitability, even if he doesn't forgive him for showing his face, he won't send him away casually.

All kinds of things in the world are all wars, attacking the city and attacking the heart.

If there is a heart, there is love, so the word love is the most hurtful.

Zhuang Qinghong is just confused by love now, but he himself is extremely rational. One by one, in addition to not being mature and sophisticated when he first collected evidence, he left enough back for himself every time after that, and successfully made Qi Jing die for him, and also made the king with a different surname fall in love with him at first sight, and later became his solid backing......

In Zhuang Fei's view, perhaps it was the first fiasco that made Zhuang Qinghong grow up completely, and he was truly cold as snow and dared to design everyone...... It's a pity that fate didn't let him get what he wanted most.

Does Zhuang Qinghong love Qi Jing? Zhuang Fei didn't dare to conclude, but he was sure that Zhuang Qinghong must have feelings for Qi Jing, as for what kind of feelings it was, except for Zhuang Qinghong himself, no one else could tell.

No matter what, the kind of relationship with Zhuang Qinghonghui before, no matter in any way, made Zhuang Fei very happy.

A week after re-entering Zhuang Qinghong's study, the New Year was approaching. Zhuang Qinghong also seemed to have come out of the previous anger, and was very happy that Zhuang Fei was learning poetry with his heart, and praised Zhuang Fei.

This also means that the ice between the two has finally melted, Zhuang Fei's rare smile opened, and Zhuang Qinghong, who saw it, was also distracted for a while-unconsciously, Zhuang Fei had been so moving-Zhuang Qinghong's heart jumped, and he was inexplicably a little uneasy.

Sixteen years old, the best years, like blooming vanilla, exudes a fresh fragrance.

In terms of appearance, Zhuang Qinghong is undoubtedly a leader in the group, handsome and extraordinary, and his cold and arrogant temperament makes his beauty unique; But Zhuang Qinghong has to admit that the current Zhuang Fei may not be worse than him.

Liu Dai eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, Qiong Jiu nose, hibiscus face, Hao snow skin, all of them are not exquisite, sitting quietly on the side, like a beautiful painting; But because it is too quiet and habitually lowers its head, it is not noticeable at all. But no one has discovered and appreciated this painting, Zhuang Qinghong has no regrets, he feels very happy, in Flower Street, it is not a good thing to have too much color.

At this time, Zhuang Qinghong also understood why Zhuang Fei's hostess was worried and wanted to sell Zhuang Fei to forget his worries.

Zhuang Fei is meticulous and gentle, just like the winter sun and summer cool water, he is very peaceful, knows how to advance and retreat, knows what he should do and what he should not hope for, sensible makes people feel distressed but hates it, making people feel comfortable and appropriate. Humility to the point of absolute gentleness, anyone gets along, doesn't it pay attention to a comfortable mood? If you get along carefully, anyone can fall.

But such a character is also the most vulnerable. He is obedient and willing to endure before the bottom line, while stimulating men's desire to protect, his possessiveness increases exponentially, and he is most likely to become the plaything of the powerful, and finally ...... Who knows what will happen in the end?

But it usually doesn't end well.

Zhuang Qinghong frowned when he thought about it, but soon it was a relief again, just that, he only paid attention to Zhuang Fei's appearance very accidentally, and it was not good to cover it up, in Flower Street, the more it was covered up, the more suspicious it was, and the more eye-catching it was. Instead, it's better to go with the flow. Besides, Zhuang Fei is just a waiter, the uniform clothes have no other decorations, and they are not eye-catching at all in a crowd of people, plus Zhuang Fei himself does not have any eye-catching thoughts at all, no matter how beautiful his face is, it is not easy to attract people to see. Since the last incident, Zhuang Fei has paid more attention, ordinary to the extreme, extremely inconspicuous, he doesn't have to worry too much.

Recently, Qi Jing will also be very busy, and he will definitely not come in a short time, no matter how good it is, he and Zhuang Fei will be left with a quiet environment for the New Year.

"That's all for today." Zhuang Qinghong put down the book in his hand and said to Zhuang Fei, "It's the end of the year soon, you are also ready to prepare, I ...... Let's keep the New Year together. ”

Zhuang Fei blinked, he couldn't believe what he heard - celebrate the New Year together? Isn't he dreaming? Did Childe say this?

Although Zhuang Qinghong didn't explain again, he couldn't stop the sweetness in Zhuang Fei's heart, the New Year, what a warm word, and Zhuang Qinghong, who said such a thing, still has some plans to use him again.

Whatever the purpose, it doesn't matter if it's used.

The atmosphere of the middle age of the flower street is not too strong, but it is still symbolic to get something, compared to serious people, many places are not in place.

If Zhuang Qinghong said so, Zhuang Fei also took the opportunity to retire and prepare to go to the street to purchase some things, the scope of the flower street is very large, and the people in the flower street are not allowed to go out of the flower street, but the businessmen outside can come in.

If you are a lowly member, the scope of activities is even more limited! Unless it is special, such as a guest request, it is not allowed to leave the flower building alone, and the restrictions are very strict.

Zhuang Fei has been a waiter for a long time, and it is not the first time he has gone out, and he has seen the prosperity of Flower Street for a long time, but it is different from the deserted as imagined, today is particularly lively, and the vendors on both sides of the street are all smiling, recommending the things on their stalls.

It's understandable -- maybe you'll be lucky enough to run into an Oiran-sama going out? That's luck.

The reason why Forgetfulness has such a big reputation, in addition to being well managed, I have to say that it is a heavy dà measure, and it is really because of this system that Forgetfulness has become a place recognized by the law, and it is enshrined as an elegant place - the Oiran system.

Every other year, an Oiran is introduced to parade the streets on the 18th day of the first lunar month.

There is no limit to the gender of the Oiran. Unlike ordinary prostitutes, most of them are the children of declining nobles, or ordinary commoner children, and they pick out extremely beautiful or very likely to be very beautiful, and carefully cultivate them from an early age, and the direction of cultivation will be adjusted according to different individuals - tea ceremony, poetry, singing, dancing, chess, musical instruments, etc., not the same strengths as the development department, and the same strengths are usually the top cards, and they cannot become Oiran.

To become an Oiran, you must be proficient in at least two or three of them, and you can also master the others. The cost of cultivating Oiran is huge, so Oiran is not like a lowly person, but like a young lady with both talents.

Oiran will not accept customers until they are selected as Oiran. The competition of the Oiran is very fierce, the children who were picked at the beginning, if they are on the way to grow up, where they are slightly behind others, they will no longer be cultivated as Oiran, but they will not be wasted, after the inspection of the teaching workshop is divided into several class of top cards, and they begin to list to pick up customers, and they are eliminated round by round, and finally the most brilliant person will be officially famous on the eighteenth day of the first month.

The ceremony of becoming an Oiran is a magnificent and spectacular affair.

At that time, the flower building to which the Oiran belonged, would prepare the most exquisite clothes for the Oiran, go out from the flower building in full costume, and take the total number of more than 100 people with the entourage, and start to tour the flower street, like everyone to show their beauty, show the strength of the flower building, and after three days of parade in the street, the Oiran can be entertained.

The first guest of the Oiran was auctioned secretly.

Adults who want to kiss Fang Ze will send a servant to the owner of the flower house for the price they can pay, and the boss will pick out the highest bidder and arrange it in the Oiran Pavilion, so that the Oiran and the benefactor can enjoy the joy of fish and water.

After this time, the Oiran will have the right to choose her own guests. Of course, the limit of this "self" is very high, first of all, the guests have to make an appointment for the Oiran Pavilion, and each time the deposit is not less than 100 taels of silver, and there may not be competition; When you get the opportunity to enter the Oiran Pavilion, you need to spend a lot of money to put down the delicacies in the Oiran Pavilion and summon some servants to show your financial resources. At this time, the guests can only think about what made Oiran dissatisfied, and wait for the second appointment.

If you can see the right eye, you can wrap up the Oiran Pavilion that night, and it is a hundred taels of gold. Whether you can enter the curtain or not depends on the Oiran.

Of course, it is impossible for Oiran not to accept customers maliciously, if he does not accept customers for two months, the boss will release the news and auction again, and Oiran will not be able to resist.

When the Oiran parades the streets, it can be called an empty alley, but despite this, no one will dare to make trouble, and the Oiran with more than 100 bodyguards will not let his own Oiran suffer.

Fortunately, the nobles are okay, and the commoners basically stretch their necks to watch, because they may not have the opportunity to see a second time in their lives...... Seeing the side of the Oiran is worth showing off for many years.

Oiran usually rarely goes out of the flower building, and ordinary people can rarely see it, but before the end of the year, last year's Oiran will go out once in civilian clothes, which is regarded as a "good trip" - to send blessings to the new Oiran, and after the New Year, they cannot go out on the streets, otherwise it is considered ominous.

It can be said that whether they are helpless or active, in a place like Flower Street, the Oiran is the highest point of their life, although it is very little, but they can also enjoy a little, insignificant self-esteem.

Despite this, Oiran's fate remains very sad.

Like an ordinary prostitute, if he has money in his hand, the Oiran can redeem himself. But so far, there have been only a handful of Oirans who have redeemed themselves...... After the prostitute is old, he can be a cook in Hualou again, and if the Oiran can't redeem himself, it's best to be a teaching aunt when he gets old.

Flower Street Flower Street is full of sadness all the time, even if they show a beautiful smile in front of everyone.

Even the Oiran who spends a lot of money can't escape these sorrows.

Zhuang Fei shook his head and shook off the information that appeared in his mind because of the lively scene, Zhuang Qinghong was forced to become an Oiran because of Qi Jing at that time, who can say that he doesn't hate? He was just desperate, helplessly crushed by fate.

The mood is a little solemn, and it is not far from the time when Zhuang Qinghong is forced to enter the lowly status. Oiran rotation system, it is too complicated to say, at present, it can be determined that Changfeng Lou will be the Oiran next year, and this year is the warmth of Bixi Building, and the "good line" is the Oiran of the previous year, and the Oiran Lan Xing of the Soft Water Pavilion is devoured.

Zhuang Qinghong was an Oiran and had a grand street parade.

In terms of time, there is less than one month left this year for the Oiran to parade the streets, and it is not Changfeng Lou who lifts the Oiran, the possibility is relatively small, the Oiran wheel system will not change lightly, and it is most likely that next year, Zhuang Qinghong will encounter the most hateful thing in his life.

Before this happens, he must stop Zhuang Qinghong from falling into the dust. Since this incident is Zhuang Qinghong's lifelong regret, then for Zhuang Qinghong to avoid this incident, it is best to die in it, even if it is a well-deserved death, right?
