Chapter 286 Like a tiger's den
Due to the hurry, the carriage was dangling, although it was only a commoner's carriage, but it was very large, the woman who pulled Bai Ji into the carriage sat in the innermost, her dress was a little gaudy, her clothes were much more gorgeous than ordinary people, and her face was covered with a thick layer of powder, although so, the exaggerated makeup could still make people see: she was already very old, about forty years old.

Beside the middle-aged woman sat a maid who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and her appearance was very delicate. Although her clothes were not as gorgeous as the woman's, they were very revealing, and the thin gauze clothes showed through a large area of skin inside...... This year, ordinary maids will not dress up so amazingly. What's more, the maids around the ladies are generally dressed up as ugly as possible, otherwise how can they set off their grace and luxury.
There were also four girls in the same car, most of them were eleven or twelve years old, or thirteen or fourteen years old, and it just so happened that the current Bai Ji was only thirteen or fourteen years old. They all seemed to be orphaned children or orphans separated from their parents, all of them disgraced, and their eyes wide and curious to look at the carriage and the well-dressed master and servant.
Only Bai Ji sat upright, not squinting, in fact, when the middle-aged woman pulled her into the carriage just now, she had already noticed that the girls in the carriage were all not yet in time, but their faces were delicate and upright, this woman only rescued such girls, and her purpose was probably understood.
The woman was also carefully looking at the girls she pulled into the car, looking at the five girls here, including Bai Ji, she was very satisfied: every appearance was born delicate and beautiful, especially Bai Ji, she couldn't stop looking at Bai Ji with a pair of eyes: this child was born too beautiful, although the clothes were ragged, but both the facial features and the skin were delicate and delicate to perfection, and it would take a few more years, I don't know how graceful it would be...... Even a noble lady like her, after seeing Bai Ji, she couldn't help but secretly envy her in her heart.
However, although Bai Ji's clothes were in tatters, the delicate jade waist bow she was carrying behind her back made people have to pay attention to it, could it be that this child's relatives are military generals or soldiers? However, it is not common for anyone to give a bow and arrow to a child to carry on their back. However, the woman didn't care much about such a thing, it was a troubled time, and although she was just a little girl, it was not too strange that she had some weapons on her, so she chose to ignore it.
The woman clapped her hands at the girls in the car, and then said with a pleasant smile: "Little girls, what about me, everyone calls me Aunt Xiang, so you can call me that in the future." I'm here, mainly to visit relatives in the flooded pond, and the result is ...... Alas, the world is difficult, and I don't know if my relatives are safe or ...... Not to mention, you all lost your loved ones because of this war, right? ā
When several of the girls heard this, they immediately lowered their heads and whimpered, they were all desperate because their family members were killed, and they were saved by this Aunt Xiang.
Aunt Xiang also wiped a handful of tears, but her movements were very light, and she didn't wipe the fat powder on her face: "Don't cry, everyone, if you have nowhere to go in the future, you might as well treat Aunt Xiang as your relative." Sometime...... I will take good care of you, as long as you are well-behaved and obedient. ā
The girls wept and nodded, they were already orphans with no relatives, and now there was an aunt who seemed to be very amiable and said that she would take care of them, and they were naturally willing to agree, otherwise they would starve to death on the streets.
In fact, this Aunt Xiang did not deliberately come to visit relatives in the flooded pond, she is actually the owner of the largest green building in Chang'an-Baihualou. These orphan girls who lost their families due to the war do not need to spend money to adopt them back, although they have to take some risks, but they are the most suitable opportunity for Qinglou like Baihualou to find "talents".
Aunt Xiang originally heard that Sun Jianjun had hit Luoyang, thinking that the number of refugees still stranded in the Luoyang area would increase, so she deliberately went to the flooded pool, but she didn't expect that the flooded pool had already started fighting, so she could only return temporarily, but it was not without gains, as soon as the war started, she would have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
Aunt Xiang looked at the four girls and nodded in response, smiling slightly, in fact, she also thought in her heart that she was saving these children, after all, she had lost her relatives, and she was just a helpless girl, if she encountered a rebel army or a jackal or something, they had only a way to die. It was not easy to escape to a city like Chang'an, and without the relief of their relatives, they could only starve to death on the streets in the end, but she, although she was in the skin business, also provided a place for these girls to live.
At this time, Aunt Xiang's eyes slowly fell on Bai Ji, only to see that she was still sitting calmly, her face was flat, neither crying out loud, nor worried and helpless, it seemed that she didn't care no matter what happened. Moreover, she didn't speak out to the other girls just now.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Bai Ji was sitting not far from Aunt Xiang, and Aunt Xiang smiled and sat down on her side again, and the two were very close.
āā¦ā¦ My name is Rong'er. Bai Ji didn't intend to show her Bai Er, who Dong Zhuo named her, but after thinking about it, she still didn't hesitate to say Xu Rong's word for glory. In fact, even if she said that her name was Xu Rong, others would not associate her with the famous general Xu Rong.
"Rong'er, hehe...... You're also separated from your family, right? Aunt Xiang asked with a concerned face.
āā¦ā¦ Well. ā
Although it is said that her family has been killed, except for a second sister who is now following Gongsun Du to Liaodong, however, Sima Li, as well as Ah Chu and Qili, these people can also be regarded as family members, and if they are lost, they are naturally separated, Bai Ji nodded and confirmed.
"What a pitiful ......," Aunt Xiang sighed again to show her regret for her "misfortune". "So, will you also follow Aunt Xiang back to Chang'an? Aunt Xiang will definitely entertain you with delicious food and good accommodation. ā
Bai Ji's appearance can be described as shocking, although the other four girls are also born with water and love, but in comparison, this Aunt Xiang knows that it is already a divine favor for a girl of Bai Ji's appearance to be "picked up" by her, and she naturally attaches more importance to Bai Ji's affairs.
"Well, I'm also planning to go to Chang'an." Bai Ji replied.
Aunt Xiang listened to it, thinking that Bai Ji was attracted by what she said, "good food and good accommodation", squinted and smiled, looking at Bai Ji as if she had seen a cash cow. Bai Ji's expressionless face and indifferent temperament made Aunt Xiang see that her background must be very unusual, but because of Dong Zhuo's brutal "search prison" in the Luoyang area, many rich families were destroyed overnight, and thousands of boudoir ladies turned from rich girls to displaced orphans in the blink of an eye, and most of these people became the most important targets of traffickers like Aunt Xiang. After all, most of these weak and delicate women who have been raised in the boudoir since childhood, can't pick their shoulders and can't lift their hands, are white and delicate, and the Qinglou in Chang'an has taken in a lot of these women this year, and their business is getting better and better.
Aunt Xiang calmed down and looked at these girls in distress, all of them were unkempt and bloodless, and only Bai Ji's face looked neat, and most of the rest were muddy, but she had a little compassion, so she instructed the maid on the side: "Xi'er, take some clothes out and let these children change." ā
That Xi'er answered, and then turned out several sets of simple dresses from the big baggage of the carriage, all of which were worn by these teenage girls, which Aunt Xiang had prepared early in the morning. Although the little girls are in troubled times, they still don't like to be unkempt, and changing their clothes as soon as they meet can buy people's hearts.
Xi'er quickly put these dresses on the hands of the five girls one by one, although the four girls were still a little restrained, but Aunt Xiang's gentle smile made them feel a trace of warmth, plus the clothes on their bodies were also torn, no one was willing to continue to wear such dirty and messy clothes, and changed, Aunt Xiang took this opportunity to quietly look at the figures and complexions of these girls.
Only Bai Ji sat motionless with her dress in her hand, Aunt Xiang looked at her, thinking that she was shy, so she smiled at her even more kindly: "Rong'er, you don't have to be shy, there are all women in this carriage, and there is no one else." Moreover, you see that your clothes are covered with blood, so it is better to change them earlier. ā
Bai Ji saw that Aunt Xiang was very polite, but she didn't plan to disobey her now, so she slowly took off her dress, leaving only the relatively clean dirty clothes inside, the snow-white and flawless skin and the petite and delicate figure made Aunt Xiang stunned, she has seen a lot of girls with good looks and good skin, but she can be so fair-skinned that Bai Ji is so immaculate, she has been the owner of Baihualou for so many years, and she has never seen it, and sighed in her heart: This is just like a fairy who descends to earth.
She looked at Bai Ji's figure again, although she was petite and immature, but from the exposed curves, she could also see that this little girl's breasts were not small, although they were not exaggerated, but they were far plumper than their peers. Such a girl with a stunning appearance and body was picked up by her, and the corners of Aunt Xiang's eyes inadvertently narrowed into a line.
Seeing Aunt Xiang's envious and satisfied look, the maid Xi'er beside her also praised softly: "This little girl really doesn't have to be like a fairy in the sky, Madame is really blessed to be able to pick up such a stunning color." ā
At this time, Bai Ji had already put on the dress that Xi'er handed her, although it was just an emerald skirt, the texture was average, and the style was not conspicuous, but wearing it on her, it still did not hide her transcendent temperament, plus Bai Ji was different from other girls, her face and body were white and clean, and sitting in the carriage, it seemed that even the colors around her had become bright and lively.
Aunt Xiang nodded proudly: "Even if I picked up a hundred little girls today, I can't match this one...... Tsk, look at the style of the whole body, as long as she is there in the future, we Baihualou will not worry about no business, I really picked up a treasure. ā
Xi'er complimented: "Madame is blessed...... The slave maid looks at this little girl, and she must be worth more than Miss Xiu'er in the future. ā
"Xiu'er......" Aunt Xiang closed her eyes slightly: "Don't talk nonsense in front of her, we still need her very much right now, although this Rong'er is a rare stunner, but we have just picked it up, we have to train and train it well......"
"The slave and maid understand, in front of Miss Xiu'er, the slave and maid are absolutely tight-lipped, madam, you still don't know the slave maid?"
Xi'er deliberately replied in a very well-behaved tone.
"You clever ......," Aunt Xiang smiled.
The carriage continued to drive in the direction of Chang'an, at this time it was already a night when the moon was scarce, Aunt Xiang asked Xi'er to give each girl a piece of Hu cake, and then let everyone rest in the carriage for a good night, and soon she also squinted and rested.
Bai Ji didn't eat the Hu Cake, but put it in her hand and played with it, she didn't seem to be hungry, and saw a girl in her early ten years old next to her looking at the Hu Bi in her hand pitifully with uneaten eyes, Bai Ji smiled faintly: "Give it to you." ā
The girl didn't take the cake, but her eyes widened, and she looked at Bai Ji as if she really didn't plan to eat it, so she thanked her very politely, and then took the cake and ate it in small bites. Judging from her demeanor, she is probably the daughter of a rich family, but it is a pity that she has fallen to such a point.
"By the way, you know what?"
The girl's eyes rolled, she looked very clever, and said mysteriously: "I see, this Aunt Xiang is not a good person......
She lowered her voice and whispered to Bai Ji.
"Oh?" Bai Ji also lowered her voice as much as possible, and asked with her expression.
"Come to think of it, we are going to be sent to the Qinglou by her......"
The girl said, her brow furrowed.
"I left alone when I arrived in Chang'an."
Bai Ji said frankly.
A look of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, but then it dimmed: "...... It's unlikely, if you get into this carriage and want to leave, they won't allow it. (To be continued.) )
