- In the midst of misfortune, she had a chance to meet the Oiran in the building at that time, that is, Ziyu, the sister of Shisu, the new owner of the Dongfeng Building, more than ten years later. After some conversation, although he didn't save her, he showed her the way.

At Ziyu's suggestion, Chen Jiu resigned to his fate and decided to take advantage of the only advantage he could still use. A once-in-a-lifetime virgin. It was really reluctant to sell fifty taels at that time, but this was her only bargaining chip, and she only had one chance to try.

The bustard's mother also hoped that the newly bought girl could make more money for the building, and she didn't urge her to hurry up and sell it at first. In this limited time, fortunately, with the help of Oiran Ziyu, Chen Jiu, who had no experience at all, entered a private room. The three people in this private room are all distinguished guests, and if they are greeted well, they are likely to earn fifty taels—although this is earned by their bodies, but this is a rare glimmer of hope in the cruel reality.

However, she didn't have any foundation for foxy tricks, and the few tricks that Oiran Ziyu kindly taught her were even more difficult to master, she deliberately spilled a glass of wine on the person with red lips and white teeth and a slightly sharp voice among the three people, obviously to pretend to be unintentional, but because of her clumsy acting skills, she spilled the wine on the faces of others, attracting a reprimand from a guest with a thick voice like a hammer on the other side.

After this scolding, she was really afraid, her hands and feet trembled, but she was no longer acting.

Fortunately, there was a third cheerful guest to dissuade her, and the scolding gradually stopped, and the one who scolded and the one who spoke softly then went out of the private room together, and only the cheerful guest who had helped her just now was left in the room, but she did not dare to look at him with half an eye.

She didn't want to come to work in a place like Qinglou. Although she finally couldn't escape this way, and had made the decision to sell herself, her state of mind had not changed, and she had secretly nailed the word "light" to every happy guest who walked into this building, including the young man who had helped her in the private room just now, and did not take advantage of the fact that there was no one in the room at this time, but was just drinking alone.

After a long time in the private room with her head down, she came to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward to pour him wine. And in my heart, I thought that I was no longer the old wine of Chen Wu Winery. It was the Qinglou wine girl, her mood suddenly dimmed, and she forgot for a while that Oiran had taught her, and the skills of laughing with wine are not all in the world: the fierce little chef concubine read the full text.

She didn't dare to look at the young guest's face. But the man had been watching her look change. When she poured wine for him. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.

When she struggled instinctively, she soon realized her lowly status and gave up, and she was extremely nervous that she was about to be occupied in this private room. She saw that the man let go of the hand that was holding her wrist like iron, and chuckled: "You don't look like a Qinglou woman, when you held the wine jug just now, your hand was very steady and your eyes were very focused, but why did you do that deliberately?" ”

The cheerful guest who stayed alone in the private room and drank alone was Lin Shan, who was sitting at the table in front of her and reading quietly, a person who brought her a turn for the better 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. She ended up unconsciously telling the truth, and of course she was forced to sell herself.

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 herself was avoided, but she was also very scared, if she violated the rules in this building, maybe she wouldn't even be able to stay in Kyoto anymore, but her father's illness could not be cured immediately if she had money, could she stand the pain of running around?

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 only a few years later that she learned that it was everything she said that day that made Lin Shan confident enough to find the owner of this green building, including 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 her conversations with Lin Shan, I'm afraid the change of ownership of Qinglou wouldn't have been so fast. Later, she recalled the events of that day, but she was secretly frightened, glad that she met Lin Shan on that day, not someone else, otherwise she could be regarded as not guarding against it several times, and she might have lost her life before she could **.

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 glances 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 especially was that the other two co-owners were the two happy guests who had been drinking in the private room that day. She suddenly understood why she was scolded that day. Because the whispering guest who was deliberately sprinkled with wine by her turned out to be a woman!

The reason why Chen Jiu will take the initiative to return to Dongfeng Tower is actually mainly because he wants to see Lin Shan again, and when she comes back. Dongfeng Tower has changed a lot. She also got her wish. Originally, things had come to this point. She can also go, this building is all wooded, and no one must have deliberately left her. Instead, she decided to stay.

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 in such a situation, Chen Jiu's mind became firm, and she no longer thought about death-related things all day long like when she first entered the Qinglou, just because she felt that she had met someone who could be docked.

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.

After sadly realizing this, she did not give up, because this is the only meaning that sustains her life. 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, and she thought that what surprised her the most 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 only made the effort to change the building, and the partner with a deep voice seemed to have just done some negotiations. 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 that time that accompanied the words, she might have been able to lie to herself afterwards that it was his anger—
