- The cheerful guest who stayed alone in the private room and drank alone was Lin Shan, who sat at the table in front of her and read quietly, a person who brought her a turn when her fate was at its lowest point, a man who influenced half of her life and perhaps the rest of her life.

It wasn't until years later that she understood that the reason why he would suddenly grab her wrist was just to test whether she could do martial arts and whether she was an assassin in disguise.

Lin Shan's first impression of Chen Jiu was that she was shocked, not by the kind of maverick talent he had, but that his words seemed to be like a sword blade, which could open the door of people's hearts. At that time, she couldn't hide anything in front of him, as long as he wanted to know.

At that time, she didn't know Lin Shan's true identity, but she only felt that this man who drank alone seemed to be really rich, and took out a gold ingot of five taels of gold, and he told her to leave the Qinglou and find another way to make a living, and she suddenly couldn't cry.

For the same amount, gold could be worth three times the value of silver, and five taels of gold could be exchanged for fifteen taels of silver. Even if because of the war, black merchants are everywhere. Lose some in the process of redemption. That's enough to exceed the ten taels of silver she sold into the Qinglou.

If she was working in a more regular restaurant and suddenly had so much money, she could indeed quit immediately. However, she worked as a handyman in the Qinglou for a few days, except for the rumors and rules she had seen and heard about the building. There were also some things that the bustard mother had warned her about to prevent her from sneaking away, which made her dare not act rashly.

With the life-saving money, of course Chen Jiu didn't want to stay in the Qinglou anymore, and the matter of selling his body was avoided. But at the same time, she was very afraid, if she broke the rules of this building, maybe she would not even be able to stay in Kyoto any longer, but her father's illness could not be cured immediately if she had money, could she bear the pain of traveling?

It's really hard to have no money, and it's hard to have money.

This is also the reason why the old wine wept bitterly after holding the gold. After crying, she even resented again, why couldn't she meet the person in front of her earlier?

Without any suspense, she then told Lin Shan what she had done. Including everything she knew about the building. It was also a few years later that she learned that it was exactly what she said that day. So that Lin Shan has enough certainty. Changing this building to the owner, including finding the owner of this green building by unknown means.

She couldn't forget the expression on her face when the bustard's mother packed up her bags and went out when she looked back at her when the green building changed hands.

If it weren't for the few conversations she had with Lin Shan. I'm afraid the change of ownership of the Qinglou is not so fast. Later she remembered the events of that day. But he was secretly frightened. Glad that she met Lin Shan that day, and not someone else, otherwise she would have been unguarded for several times. Maybe she lost her life before she could do it.

The day the bustard's mother left, to be precise, it should be the day when the old woman was discarded like garbage by the new landlord, and Chen Jiu finally got a chance to go home, but the setback of fate hit her again.

She was fortunate to meet Lin Shan in the Qinglou, and retained the last trace of dignity as a person, but her father, who was recuperating at home, heard the news, but he couldn't withstand the blow and died of illness within a few days.

When she had the opportunity to go home, all she saw was her father's cold spiritual position and the twinkling eyes of the neighbors.

After more than a month of filial piety for her father, she had the opportunity to leave the Qinglou for the second time in her life, but she returned to that place again, and the original Qinglou has been renamed Dongfeng Building, and the pattern inside has also changed greatly.

What made her feel fortunate was that when she was most helpless, the two people who helped her were still there, Oiran was still Oiran, and the man who probably saved her became one of the partners of the new Dongfeng Building. What surprised her even more was that the other two co-owners were the two happy guests who were drinking in the private room that day, and she suddenly understood why she was scolded that day, because the whispering happy guest who was deliberately drunk by her was actually a woman!

The reason why Chen Jiuhui took the initiative to return to Dongfeng Lou was actually mainly because she wanted to see Lin Shan again, and when she came back, Dongfeng Lou changed greatly, and she also realized her wish. Originally, when things came to this point, she could also go, this building was all forested, and no one deliberately left her, but she decided to stay instead.

She was the only woman in the building who was still clean, but she chose to stay, which is really incredible.

And when she seriously told Lin Shan about this decision, he was silent for a long time, neither refused, nor let her do things in the building, but sent her to the account room, and let her follow the new hostess of Dongfeng Building after the change of ownership, that is, the whispering cheerful guest who she deliberately spilled wine.

She had done this kind of thing in her own winery before, and she had some foundation, and going to the accounting room was a way for her to apply what she had learned, and the one who could understand this clearly was Lin Shan, who was alone at that time, because she only told him about her experience.

Because of these experiences and the treatment he gave, her heart was gradually moving closer to him. In the lowest period of her life, it was Lin Shan who gave her a turnaround, this kindness was really unforgettable, and the key point that made her fall in love with him. Or when she was most criticized, he could still understand her thoughts and decisions, instead of looking at her with worldly eyes.

If you can't protect your dignity in the Qingming world, but you can get a trace of peace in a seemingly dirty environment, why can't you choose the latter?

This somewhat absurd idea seems to have a normal and feasible reason in the situation of the imminent change of dynasty.

As early as when the winery went bankrupt and my father fell ill and it was difficult to even pay for the medicine, most of the relatives of the Chen family had cut off contact. and then his father died of illness. And his only daughter, Chen Jiu, has such a scandal. I'm afraid that the last few remaining relatives of the Chen family who still have a little mercy will not come and go.

Not only that, Huaxia Shangshen read the full text. Even when the neighbors saw that Chen Jiu, who sold himself in the Qinglou, had come back, they were all closed, but they couldn't stop pointing at her in the corner.

The streets were filled with people packing up and preparing to leave the capital, in the midst of the chaos. This kind of life of separated relatives, much talked, and shameless seems to be better than nothing. But the old wine is in such a situation. But her mind was firm, and she didn't think about death-related things all day long like when she first entered the Qinglou, just because she felt that she had met someone she could dock with.

She returned to Dongfeng Tower, just so that she could seize every opportunity to meet Lin Shan. She thought he knew her mind because she had a place in his heart. In fact, it was not the case, after the accounting office learned the knowledge of accounting with the new landlord for a period of time, she really realized that her idea was just wishful thinking. There are many women in the building who understand the minds of men, and there are also women who have similar thoughts to her. But Lin Shan has always only shown that emotional look at the female building who seems to be accustomed to changing men's clothes.

Only her, a woman with the surname Ye.

Instead of her stale wine.

Sadly after realizing this. But she didn't give up. Because that's the only thing that sustains her to live. She had even secretly decided that even if she was a concubine for him, as long as she could stay by his side all the time, she would be willing.

It's just that the facts behind her are changing too much to surprise her. Originally, she thought she was most surprised. It should be the identity of the female landlord. Because Dongfeng Lou said that there were three bosses. But in fact, all the money to buy this building was provided by the woman, Lin Shan just made the effort to change the building, and the partner with a deep voice. It seems that there is only some negotiation to be done. But when the identities of the other two were really revealed, she realized that not only did she know very small things, but her existence in the building was also so small.

Thinking about my own wish, what a luxury.

It's just that what Chen Jiu never expected was that she originally thought that Lin Shan would definitely marry Miss Ye as his wife, but Miss Ye ended up with the partner with a deep voice. Indeed, that man's identity is extremely noble, but Miss Ye's family is wealthy, is she really a person who values power? In Chen Jiu's opinion, if she was given a choice, she would definitely choose Lin Shan without hesitation - but it was a pity that this person had always only had a trace of pity for her.

But no matter what, Miss Ye is married, Chen Jiu should be happy, because Lin Shan has that person in her heart, that person has left, is it a smooth road in front of her?

In order to climb his heart, she even learned those tricks from Oiran again, but she failed again and again in front of him, and even made her horrified to find that if she continued to use these tricks on him, it might be difficult for them to be friends with each other. She has never been able to understand, and she also wants to understand why this man's heart is actually so cold, he can be good to the people around him, but the forbidden land in his heart seems to never allow anyone to step in.

One day thirteen years ago, Lin Shan came to the building, and after cleaning up the accounts collected by the regular meeting, he sat alone in the private room, drinking with the door closed. At that time, it had been nearly a year since Miss Ye left Dongfeng Building because of her marriage, and she had been promoted to the status of the landlord at that time. is still like when she first entered the Qinglou, helping him pour wine in the private room, but she is full of confidence, and can't help but ask him why he has never married a wife, specifically because he has not married Miss Ye.

That time, Lin Shan suddenly grabbed her wrist again, a smile was hooked on the corner of his lips, but he said in a cold voice: "You like me?" But I don't like you, die! Whatever happens between us, it is fruitless. ”

Lin Shan had never said anything in a heavy tone to her, including when he said it. Although he was half drunk at the time, his tone was still smooth, and there was a hint of a smile on his lips when he spoke. But this sentence was like a sword, mercilessly stripping her heart to blood.

If there had been a hint of anger on his face at the time, she might have been able to lie to herself afterwards that he was angry.

……

Among the several palace maids and eunuchs in Huayang Palace who were in charge of keeping vigil today, none of them made a sound.

Wang Hong, who was already nestled in the quilt, leaned over when he heard the sound and glanced down at Concubine De's gaze, and he quickly understood what was happening. His eyes changed for a moment, and there must be one thing that he couldn't bypass today, and he couldn't help but sigh silently.

The fire fold stalk was also left by Xiaoxing, a woman in a cloth skirt who suddenly appeared in the inner room of the dormitory just now. It was a minor accident. Fortunately, this kind of fire fold is very ordinary. It is not possible to see the traces left by a person's personality from above. However, in order to hide this doubt, there must be a palace slave who has to suffer some grievances tonight.

In the face of everyone's silence, on the couch shrouded in silk tents, the second prince Wang Hong, who was sitting quietly leaning on two soft pillows, suddenly spoke: "It was probably accidentally dropped by the palace maid who was in charge of the lamp just now." It's just a trivial matter, and it's not worth the mother's life and sadness. ”

Although he said it lightly, as long as these words came out of his mouth, Concubine De would never spare the mistake of the palace maid who held the lamp.

There is no need for anyone to identify it, and the arrangement of the palace slaves for the nightly vigil in the dormitory has long been finalized. The second prince was only halfway through his words, and among the palace maids standing on both sides, one of them knelt down with a "bang" and begged for mercy and cried out for mercy. She was guarding the inner room of the dormitory just now, and she was summoned by the second prince. I went to the palace maid who lit the triangular glass lamp.

The second prince, Wang Hong, didn't say anything again, in order to hide the traces of Xiaoxing, he had to do this. As for this lady who seems to have only been elected to Huayang Palace for a short time, she has to compensate for the grievances she has suffered today. We'll have to talk about it another day.

Seeing that the palace maid kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, as if she had really been wronged, among the several servants of Huayang Palace present, there was an older eunuch who vaguely grasped the intention of the second highness, not only did not help the palace maid speak, but also said meaningfully: "Don't argue anymore, you can review it yourself, when did the second highness wronged which palace servant?" It's all your own rudeness, do you still want to throw the responsibility to Your Highness? ”

Concubine De's last hesitation was also removed by the eunuch's words, and anger gradually grew on her face.

The eunuch was right, the second prince Wang Hong may have developed a gentle temperament since he was a child because of his poor physical fitness, and he rarely gets angry, so naturally he rarely gets angry with the servants in the palace. Over time, he gradually became a rare good master in the hearts of most palace slaves in the harem.

And as a prince, the wisdom of the gentleman he has learned, the breeze of the person he has cultivated, and the generosity and kindness of his character are not a problem. It's completely unimaginable that he should do the thing of framing a little palace maid, and if the palace maid denies it again, it will be a bit like throwing dirt on His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

The palace maid who was kneeling on the ground didn't dare to speak out anymore, and after listening to the eunuch's accusation, although she had some hatred in her heart, she also had some doubts about herself, was it really her negligence just now? The eunuch's words were not all wrong, how could His Royal Highness wronged himself as a little palace maid? -
