2. Bloodstained Begonias Chapter 6 On the eve of the crime

Qinghe Town, Qingfeng Pavilion.

Qingfeng Pavilion is the largest brothel in Qinghe Town, and it is more like their home for those who have nothing to do. Because as long as there is silver here, you are the master. The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are chosen by you, and the ring fat and thin are you can choose!

It's a veritable gold cave. The top card here is the Oiran lady for three consecutive years, so the value has doubled. She not only has a charming face and a bewitching posture, but also is excellent at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Today's business in the Seifukaku is booming, and everyone is preparing for tomorrow's Oiran out of the pavilion.

Look at! Everywhere is lit up, and the inside and outside are dressed up in joy. Even the old bustard, who had not had a good face for many years, smiled as if he had drunk honey. It's still noon when she looks at the sky, but she already has millions of taels of income from tonight's entrance fee in her hand, so how much is it to calculate it at night?

Can she not be happy, no, she can't sit still!

got up and walked to the stage, looked at the subordinate who was struggling to hang the yarn on the stage and corrected: "It's low, it's low!" …… A little up! …… Yeah! That's just right! When she saw that he was hanging, she taught the servant who was setting up the bonsai and shouted,

"Hey, hey, hey! Call you! Who told you to put Feverfew here? How unlucky it is to be miserable! Changed, changed! Change the pot of red peonies to see the richer! ”……

As soon as Yu Bing entered the gate, he saw this busy scene. Spit out her tongue and carefully avoid the underground people who were carrying heavy objects, and came all the way to the hall only to hear someone calling her, "Yubing, are you still busy?" Come and help me when you have time! I'm dying of exhaustion! ”

Xiao Yue, who was sitting at the table by the window, was busy cutting ribbon strips, rubbing her sour arms. looked up at Yu Bing, who was avoiding the subordinates, and happily waved her hand to call her over to help him. She knew that Yu Bing was not only good at medicine, but also helpful. As soon as she has time, she will help others do what she can, so her popularity is very good.

"It's Xiao Yue!"? Yu Bing nodded and sat down, and when she saw a table of colorful colored cloths, she smiled and said, "Huh? That's a lot! Picking up the scissors and cutting out the desired pattern, he asked tentatively, "You must be busy today, right?" You see, mom has come out to help! ”

"She! Isn't it still early! She has already received a lot of silver, and I think she is too happy to sit still! Xiao Yue held her mouth and looked at the old bustard who was still blindly directing over there, and she didn't care about the tunnel.

"That's it! Looks like Miss is busy tonight! "The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

From Xiao Yue's words, she thought that the bustard didn't know that she had slipped out, and Xiao Yue couldn't know where she went. The only thing she has some concerns about is her young lady Begonia!

She remembered that she passed out on the side of the road after rolling down the hillside ten years ago, and it was Qiu Xin who was passing by who rescued her and brought her into the Qiu family's compound to be used as a personal maid. Qiu Xin has also asked many times about her origin in the past ten years, and she always uses amnesia to avoid this topic. and also gave himself another name: Yu Bing, taking the name of the Jade Ice Divine Sword in his purple jade flute.

Of course, all this is unknown to Qiu Xin. Until the decline of the Qiu family three years ago, she was both sold into the Qinglou by her ruthless stepmother and lived in Qingfeng Pavilion since then. By chance, Qiu Xin participated in the Oiran competition, won the top spot without suspense and changed her name to Begonia.

"Isn't it! After tonight, she won't be a member of Qingfeng Pavilion anymore! Tomorrow she will be the young grandmother of a big family in the neighboring village! Xiao Yue put her hands on her cheeks and said enviously, "Yubing, you are so good!" Miss Qiu thinks of you for any good things! If Young Master Ma takes a fancy to you, why is it also an aunt's wife, right? It's enviable. ”

"That's because I've been serving by Miss's side since I was a child, and you can't envy me like a sister." Seeing that the more she thought about it, the more outrageous it became, and couldn't help but wake her up.

"yes!" Xiao Yue nodded in agreement, and suddenly, she seemed to remember something, patted her forehead and said with some annoyance, "Oh no! Forgot about it again! Yubing, Miss Qiu just told me that you should go to Ruyixuan to find her when you come back. She seems to have something important to tell you. ”

"Miss came to me?" Yu Bing was shocked, what was she looking for herself to do at this time? Could it be that she found something?

"Yes, yes! Go find her! She looked anxious when she came to me just now. Xiao Yue hurriedly nodded and urged.

"Okay, you get busy first, I'll help you later." After Yu Bing finished speaking, he no longer hesitated, got up and went up to the Ruyi Xuan on the third floor.

"Miss, I'm Yubing, I'm back!" Standing in front of the door, I took a deep breath and calmed my heart, which was pounding from my thoughts. Knock softly on the closed door in front of you.

"The door is not bolted, come in!" A familiar voice came from inside the room.

As soon as she entered the door, Yu Bing saw something resting on the table. In his heart, he asked the woman sitting on the chair at the table with even more anxiety, "Miss, are you looking for me?" ”

I saw that she was wearing a fiery red satin dress, bound by a black broad-brimmed belt, and covered with a thin layer of black veil. Holding a cup of chrysanthemum tea in his hand, he blew the tea leaves floating on the surface and took a sip gently. Putting down the teacup in his hand and pointing to the oilcloth burden on the table, he asked knowingly, "Yubing, what is the bread here?" ”

"Miss, where did you find it?" The ominous premonition in Yu Bing's heart became even stronger! This thing must not see the sky, otherwise all the people in this Qingfeng Pavilion will die! She didn't want to see the tragedy happen eight years ago.

"You don't have to digress the subject, tell me what is here?" Begonia broke the sand pot and asked in the end, looking at Yu Bing, who was still meditating on the side, and asked for a long time.

"It's, it's a flute! It was something given to me by Brother Xiaohu, but I haven't learned it yet, so he went with the master! "Yu Bing has an idea, and Xiao can also be called a flute, right? And Xiaohu is the entourage of the lord in the autumn mansion.

"Flute? But what do I think it's also a purple jade flute!? There was something in her words, and Begonia looked at Yu Bing, who couldn't justify herself, and all the questions that had been buried in her heart for eight years appeared in one fell swoop. At this moment, she felt that the girl in front of her was so mysterious.

"Miss, have you opened it?" Listening to Begonia say the color, Yu Bing felt the cold that had never been felt penetrate the limbs. She understands that these eight years of peaceful life will never be there again with the opening of the baggage! Once those killers eight years ago find out that Ziyu Xiao exists, I am afraid that it will set off another bloody storm. Looks like she's gone!

"Yes, I opened it, Yubing, what the hell is going on? Tell me about it! We're sisters who talk about everything, aren't we? She really wanted to figure it out, but when she saw the sadness on Yu Bing's face and the silent tears on the ground, she couldn't bear it. Maybe she shouldn't have asked so clearly, she knew she was uncovering the scars that Yu Bing had forgotten. Wiping away her tears, he said, "Okay, okay! I don't ask! Isn't it okay not to ask? You've got to put it away and don't let anyone else find out! ”

"Thank you, Miss for your concern, Yubing knows!" The young lady finally stopped asking, Yu Bing breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the tears from her face and stood there with her head down. If Begonia continues to ask, she really doesn't know how to respond. After all, there is also a folding fan in the baggage: an ordinary paper folding fan carved with an unreadable pattern. However, she still has not understood the meaning of the fan that her father gave her.

"Silly girl, thank you for it! Otherwise, Mom will blame you again in a moment! Begonia said and returned the burden to Yu Bing.

"Miss, then I'm out?" Yu Bing took the burden and turned around, thought about it and said to Begonia, "That's right, Miss!" I have to go out for a while at night, Aunt Zhou's illness seems to have recurred, I have to go and see. "I made an excuse, after all, there was a seriously injured patient in the mountains. It's really uneasy that there is no one to take care of her. "It's a good thing to save people, just do what you have to do and go! I'll take care of it on Mom's side. Begonia thought about it and agreed.

"Thank you, Miss Yubing! You're going to be busy tonight and you should get some rest, so I'll quit first! Saying that, Yu Bing picked up the burden and retreated, and took the door to close it.

After coming down from upstairs, Yu Bing came to the hall again to help Xiao Yue cut the colored cloth, and the two chatted from time to time.

And the old bustard was still there commanding with great interest.

As time passed, Seifukaku ushered in another night. There are more and more people entering the hall, and there is still an endless stream of people coming in outside the gate. It's a pity that no one knows that this night is not lively, and it is even a little shocking!

Standing at the door, the old bustard who couldn't close his mouth and smiled looked at the door from time to time while lighting the silver ticket. When I saw a high-ranking official in Kyoto, my eyes were smiling!

She's happy, and even happier are the guests who have already sat down to see them! Since the Oiran competition three years ago, the Oiran lady who has been showing her veil for three years can finally see her true face tonight.

What's more, this is also her last time on stage, and you can still hear her "Qin Xian" song when she won the Oiran Lady. This is a hard-to-find opportunity, and tomorrow she will be the richest young grandmother in the neighboring village. Once you get married, it's even harder to see each other again!

As the days went by, the night was already deep!

The guests who watched the performance in the hall were already seated. Tonight can be described as a flash in the pan, and the Qingfeng Pavilion is lively and overcrowded. Everyone waited for a long time, drank tea, and ate pastries, all of which were full of food and drink, but the beauty did not appear for a long time.

This is not! Someone started to get angry: "I said bustard! If you charge so much silver, won't you just let us drink tea!? I saw that these old men smashed the teacup with a hot temper, stood up and shouted, "I am not happy to provoke the uncle, be careful I invite you to drink tea in the county hall!" ”
