Chapter Seventy-One: First Entry into the Fireworks Land

The news of the Oiran election was rumored outside, and the venue election was also in full swing. Finally, ten days before the election, Ge Yuxin won the Oiran election in Yufangyuan.

At the same time, the nine women in the Red Dot Pavilion are also practicing intensively, preparing to make a splash. It's just that all aspects of the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can be taught and familiarized, and the means of communication can only be understood by themselves.

Ge Yuxin was afraid that the women's competition in the Red Dot Cui Pavilion would be cowardly and smash her hard work signboard, so she specially sent someone to take them to Yihong Mansion for a long time.

Today, it was finally Situ Ming's turn to go out, although she was accompanied by a few mothers-in-law, she was very unfree. However, Situ Cheng was imprisoned in Yufang Yuan for three years, and this time he finally saw the light of day.

Looking up, although it is the same sky, the blue sky above is no longer boxy. There were spring swallows flying overhead, and Situ Cheng had a sense of freedom.

Ikuyoen was not built in the bustling area of Kyoto, but in a relatively suburban area. One is that it is a big and quiet place, and the other is that if such a big place is in the city of Kyoto, I am afraid she will not be able to afford it. Although Ge Yuxin's trading was very profitable, half of the source was invested in the Red Dot Cui Pavilion.

It is an exaggeration to say that it is a sword sharpened in ten years, but it is almost far from the truth. This Oiran election is a good time for her to show off her skills in cutting the red dot green pavilion.

Ge Yuxin has never been worried about Situ Ming, this woman is extraordinary, maybe she still has the intention of escaping. So Situ Cheng came out this time with a few more healthy mothers-in-law than other girls. Situ Cheng peeked and looked closely, it seemed that one of them had kung fu, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

The carriage soon drove into front of the Yihong Mansion in Hualiu Lane in the city, but it was not the main gate or the back door, in order not to attract attention.

The old bustard in the courtyard had already been waiting at the door early, and when he saw the people from Yufangyuan coming, he warmly greeted him inside.

"It's the ninth girl today." The old bustard said.

"Yes, the last and best of our Red Dot Pavilion." A mother-in-law beside Situ Cheng said to the old bustard.

When the old bustard heard this, he unconsciously glanced at Situ Cheng a few more times. However, Situ Ming's whole body was tightly wrapped in clothing, without revealing a trace of skin, and he was wearing a gauze hat on his head, and the old bustard looked at it a few times, but he didn't see anything. She also understands the doorway, these nine girls are the trump cards in Ge Yuxin's hands, and they never show people lightly until the day of the election.

Situ Cheng was led by the bustard to an attic on the top floor of Yihong Building, and Situ Cheng was puzzled. But when she opened the window and looked out, it was clear now.

Yihong Mansion is the most imposing building in the whole Hualiu Lane, and it is also the tallest. From the attic window on the top floor, you can see the whole alley. Not to mention Yihong Mansion, even the voices of the girls in other Qinglou were faintly heard.

The sky is still bright, and several buildings are already overcrowded, and the voices are boiling, which is even worse if it is night. It can be seen how prosperous such a business is at the foot of the prosperous Son of Heaven in Kyoto.

Situ Ming's ears rang with the coquettish laughter of the girls downstairs, and she suddenly felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit when she saw her body pretending to be in a posture, charming and squirming towards the men who came in.

A sense of sorrow came to me, I never thought that I would be reduced to such a state, and if I was destined to stay here to beg for food, it would be better to beg for food on the streets.

Just as she was grieving, a special girl caught her mind.

It was a girl on the third floor on the east side of Yihong Courtyard, and the window of her room was open, which made Situ Ming have a glimpse of the scene in her room.

That girl was not like the girls downstairs who were greased and powdered, and were brightly dressed. She was dressed like an ordinary woman, and her clothes were extremely simple and had no superfluous patterns.

She was stroking the qin and whispering at the moment, but her voice and the sound of the piano were drowned out by the noise in the courtyard, and Situ Cheng couldn't hear what kind of music she was playing.

A mother-in-law who was following Situ Cheng saw Situ Cheng staring at the girl, so she stepped forward and introduced her:

"Nine girls, the one opposite is the top sister of Yihong Courtyard, whose flower name is Peony."

"Sure enough, it lives up to its name, it's different from those vulgar fans." Situ Cheng has a heartfelt way. She herself secretly compared it in her heart, this woman's appearance was a heavenly fairy compared to the other women below, but compared to the sisters in the Red Dot Green Pavilion, it was nothing more than that.

Probably this Oiran campaign is also mixed with a lot of water.

"Does my mother-in-law know where the peony girl's ancestral home is? How did you get here? Situ Cheng asked.

"Anyway, this peony girl is still the same villager as the girls in our Red Dot Cui Pavilion, and it is said that she is the daughter of a criminal minister and was sold here." The woman replied.

"She's also from Jiangzhou?" Situ Cheng was a little surprised.

Originally, a delicate young lady was reduced to a fireworks woman, and there must be a lot of sad stories in it, Situ said in her heart.

"The nine girls really think differently from other girls, and when the other sisters came here, the first thing they asked was how the peony girl won the crown of the Oiran, but the nine girls asked the old body about the peony girl's life experience." The woman said again.

"What about winning the crown of the Oiran, in the end, I am also committed to this land of fireworks." Situ said.

When the mother-in-law heard Situ Cheng say this, she was displeased, after all, they were all people from this land of fireworks, and outsiders looked down on her, so how could she allow this fledgling girl to despise here from her heart.

"Nine girls are wrong, how many girls in our Yihong Mansion can't beat them out. Eat and drink spicy food here, and you don't have to suffer and starve outside. The woman said coldly.

Maybe everyone thinks differently, and if people abandon their dignity and faith, then eating and drinking is of course the top priority.

Situ remembered a game she had played with Shi Zi'er a few years ago, when they caught a few scorpions from the mountains and put them in a clay pot. As soon as the scorpion climbed up, the stone beat it down with a thin stick. After a few times, the number of times the scorpions crawled gradually decreased.

There was a time when Situ Cheng and Shi Zi'er forgot about this and didn't feed the scorpion. After a few days, they remembered that Situ Cheng also told Shi Zi'er that those scorpions had already run out.

The two walked to the corner of the courtyard and looked inside, only to see that there was only a fat scorpion and some stumps of other scorpions.

How sad it is that they would rather kill each other to survive than try to resist and escape.

Just like these women downstairs, if they were really released now, they would have lost the ability to live independently. Instead of starving to death outside, of course, you will live your current life insensitively.
