1. Chapter I
The snow in Yunzhou City seems to have come a little early this winter. However, on the twenty-first day of the lunar month, goose-feathered snowflakes had already drifted in through the cracks in the window lattice.
But this is just a disaster year for poor families, and it has nothing to do with the owner of Huanguan.
Su Hongtang, the owner of the Chunfeng Pavilion, slowly drank the ginseng soup sent by Cuiyue, got up and walked to the window, pushed open the window facing the street, and let the cold wind hit her.
The rooftops facing the street are covered with heavy snow, and there won't be many guests tonight.
Su Hong leaned on the windowsill, closed her eyelids slightly, and thought about her thoughts.
Counting this year, it has been three years since she was expelled from the valley of love.
If Shizun knew that she opened a Huan Hall after leaving the Love Valley, I am afraid that he would regret not killing her in front of the Love Valley Hall three years ago!
Su Hongtang exhaled softly, watching them condense into a mist in front of her, gradually becoming clear, she remembered that when she was expelled from the valley of love, the master asked her to find a good family to marry.
What is the boundary of Love Valley? It's a place where unmarried women are allowed.
Even though she was expelled from the valley of love, she was still willing to take refuge in the valley.
Entering the prostitution door is a stain for a lifetime, and you don't have to think about marrying any good people in this life, right?
Su Hong smiled arbitrarily, causing pedestrians on the street to look up.
"Yo, Miss Su, you're so happy early in the morning!"
"Yes! Today is my birthday! Su Hong wrapped her hand in the wine jug, stretched half of her body out of the window, and raised her head to pour the wine from the spout, which was worthy of ten years of bamboo leaves. She remembered that her master's favorite was Zhu Yeqing, but she preferred the strong burning knife, and her Su Hongtang's amount of wine was excellent, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a thousand cups that could not be poured, but her master could not drink much wine.
Feeling the chill of Zhu Yeqing flowing in her throat, Su Hongtang vaguely felt that her tears were about to flow out, today is Shizun's birthday, but she can't go to drink with Shizun as usual three years ago, she is Shizun's beloved apprentice, is Shizun's most valued disciple, and is also the most talented disciple in Shimen, but she committed the biggest taboo of Shizun and became the first person to be expelled from Shimen.
But she doesn't regret it, she doesn't regret falling in love with Shizun! So the indifferent master should be accompanied and cherished, not lonely in the valley of love.
Each generation of masters in the valley of love has a predetermined fate, that is, to protect the valley of love and die of old age in the valley of love.
She didn't want her master to end like that.
Su Hongtang raised the wine jug, reached out on her back to catch the fluttering snowflakes, she remembered that there was snow on the day she was expelled from the love valley three years ago.
"Miss Su, be careful when drinking, it's all stained with my son's face!"
A man's voice came from under the window again, and Su Hongtang raised her eyes and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly, who was a frequent visitor in her pavilion.
After a little bit of longing for his master, Su Hongtang threw a wink downstairs and said charmingly, "Hehehe, then Master Chen, come at night, Hongtang will find the best girl for you to make amends!" ”
The middle-aged man saw that Su Hongtang threw a flattering look at him, and he was so coquettish that he wanted to make amends for his sins, and he was immediately hooked, "Can you -"
"That can't be done." Su Hong hooked her red lips and sat on the windowsill with a sneer, "Yunzhou City knows the rules of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and the first rule is that this girl will not accompany guests. ”
A young man dressed as a scholar raised the folding fan in his hand and asked Su Hong seriously, "Then, this son is carrying a sedan chair for eight years, and the Ming media is marrying, okay?" ”
"Hehehehe, thank you Zhao Gongzi for your concern!" Su Hongtang saw that it was Zhao Xiucai who was facing the street, and knew that he was sincere. Zhao Xiucai is said to have the talent to take the top prize, but what is she doing here, she is not uncommon to do what the champion lady is!
All she wants to do is the red entanglement of the master!
But Shizun didn't want to be her long-hearted......
Su Hongtang glanced at Zhao Xiucai again, pulled a hairpin from his head and threw it to him, Xiucai's family was poor, not as good as her prostitute.
Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, and poured some wine into his lips, "Hongtang vows to wait for Hongtang!" ”
"Ouch, red-wrapped girl, don't raise your eyes too high and look out of sight! We, the old women, are looking at it! You really don't have anything to do with it! Zhao Xiucai is just a poor ......" The grandmother-in-law who had received Su Hongtang's favor listened to Hongtang's words and immediately persuaded her, Hongtang, a good girl with such a good heart and eyes, should find a good family. In addition to being poorer, this Zhao Xiucai's family is quite good-looking, and if the Xiucai family wins the move in the future, it will be regarded as a good thing.
"Granny Sun, don't persuade me anymore, Hongtang has made up her mind in this life, just to wait for Hongtang to get along!" Su Hongtang glanced at her grandmother with a smile, and after drinking the last drop of wine in the pot, she threw the wine pot down.
Seeing that Hongtang threw the wine jug, Mrs. Sun hurriedly caught it, "Girl, your silver kettle ......"
"This pot is for my mother-in-law, it seems to be very cold this winter, and my mother-in-law will go and buy some charcoal, so as not to endure it for a few days." Su Hong raised her hand and pulled the green silk that was spread out, she was not afraid of being poor in show, but her heart was on Shizun.
Thinking that today is the birthday of the master, Su Hongtang smiled at her grandmother-in-law, with a pair of eyebrows looking forward to life, "Mother-in-law, don't worry about Hongtang's good relationship, she and Hongtang still have a child!" ”
With that, he rolled over and fell into the window and took a nap.
And the people outside the window saw that the owner of the Spring Breeze Pavilion closed the window, and they also dispersed in twos and threes, leaving shoe prints with these mud on the snow.
The twenty-first day of the wax moon without the master seems to be extraordinarily long.
When Hongtang woke up and pushed the window open, it was already dark and the wind seemed to be colder.
Su Hong thought that Shizun, as the valley master, should have a silver carbon stove in the Love Valley, so he was also a little more comfortable.
I wonder if she will accept it when she sends it to Master Heshou?
Looking at the dark street, Su Hongtang sighed, her Shouli Master seemed to have rejected twice.
But it's no big deal to refuse twice, she's still growing up in her life! Yunzhou City is the closest city to the Love Valley, and if it doesn't work three times, she will be sent to death. There will always be a day when the master will receive it, right?
Su Hongtang chuckled and tried the wind in the window, which was bitterly cold.
In the cold winter, even if you are a martial arts practitioner, you can't resist such a wind.
Su Hongtang thought for a moment, and was about to close the window, but heard a faint and immature voice at the entrance of the hall, "See Hongtang......"
The ears of those who practice martial arts are smarter than others, and when they heard 'red entanglement', Su Hongtang instinctively pushed open the window, only to see an unkempt and ragged beggar lying on the stone steps at the door, begging for the greeting green fei.
Look closely, in the candlelight of the lantern, the beggar's face seems to be stained with blood.
Su Hongtang frowned, and greeted Lu Fei directly from the window on the second floor, "Fei'er, bring him up." ”
"But, owner?" Midori's face slid over in embarrassment.
"Huh?" Su Hongtang glanced at the beggar from a distance, and it seemed that he was five or six years old.
"This little beggar says you're her mother!"
