The yard is paved with neat bluestone slabs.

It had only rained, and it was dotted with moist moss, and the air was filled with a fresh smell.

Behind the crescent moon door, a woman in an azure dress was stroking the piano with her eyes down.

Just casual movements, the smooth sound of the piano flows out from between the slender and white fingers, and it is refreshing to listen to.

Beside her, tall willow trees drooped their branches, gently fluttering in the breeze.

The birds folded their wings and stood quietly on the branches, tilting their heads, as if they were also enjoying the beautiful music.

Soon, however, the peaceful scene was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps getting closer.

Liu Er carried her skirt and hurriedly ran in, and when she saw the people in the courtyard, she hurriedly trotted over.

"My good sister, it's all this time, why are you still practicing like a nobody?"

The woman who stroked the qin raised her head slightly, revealing a face that was not powdered, but still beautiful.

She smiled softly, took Liu'er's hand and said, "What's the matter, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Her voice is also very good, as clear and clear as the piano sound, and the words have some unique rhythms, which makes people feel calm when they listen to it.

She looked at Liu Er with a smile, her eyebrows picturesque.

Rao is willow faced this face day and night, but she still couldn't help but be attracted, and even her anxious mood was relieved, and she was pulled to sit next to her.

I have to say that this is a face that is absolutely heartwarming even if it is a woman.

But it's a pity that the owner of this face was not born in a prominent family, did not have the ability to protect himself, but ended up here.

As the leading tooth shop in the capital, or an official tooth with an official background, the conditions here are not bad.

Their lives are even more comfortable than those low-ranking official eunuch ladies.

It's a pity that even the daughters of ordinary people don't envy them.

Because no matter how well they eat and wear, after all, they are just things that can be bought and sold at will, and they have no freedom, and it is a luxury to be able to live well.

Giving you good food and clothing is just to increase the value of this thing and want to sell it for a good price.

"Mother Xu from Qin Xinglou is here today," Liu Er frowned, and her face couldn't hide her worry.

"After talking to my mother-in-law, I was smiling when I came out, and I wasn't angry when I saw the people eavesdropping outside, and I touched Jiang Pei'er's face, praising her for being very qualified, and I might be able to be the top brand if I worked hard......"

Qin Xinglou is a newly opened elegant house in Beicheng recently, the name is elegant, but it is actually a place of fireworks, and it is said that the boss behind it is very promising.

This place in the capital is expensive, it can beat all competitors and occupy such a good position, Qin Xinglou is also a master who is not bad for money.

No, just hung the door plaque, and before the door was opened, it had already become famous.

Mother Xu is the old bustard of Qin Xinglou, and she often goes in and out of the major dental shops in the capital these days, and the purpose is naturally to find a beauty who can afford to support the façade.

After all, no matter how big the backstage is, if you want to compete with many old Fengyue places, you still have to look at the beauty.

Girls with ordinary qualifications grab a handful, other families have them, Qin Xinglou is not bad, but the most top-notch kind is hard to find.

Which famous house in the capital does not have its own top brand? That is a sharp weapon to attract distinguished guests, and there are few examples of high-ranking officials and nobles spending a lot of money for the sake of Oiran.

Mother Xu appeared here, probably for this matter.

It's just that Xu's mother has gone out several times before and after, and she has gone out with a straight face, and this is the first time she has come out with a smile.

Mother Xu was happy, but the girls in the tooth shop had a sense of crisis in their hearts.

No, as soon as Liu Er had news, she rushed to discuss with the person she trusted most.

The more Liu Er spoke, the more worried she became, "Sister Lu, are we really going to be sold to Qin Xinglou?" What should we do, if we go into that place, we won't be ...... for the rest of our lives."

Liu Er's voice suddenly became low.

"Sister Qi was also sold to the Qinglou by her mother-in-law, where she was humiliated, and she couldn't even commit suicide, but she was tortured to live...... Sister Lu, will we end up like this, it's so scary, I don't want to go. ”

After hearing this, Lu Yunyao could only sigh softly, with a faint sorrow between her eyebrows, obviously remembering the tragic situation she heard about two years ago.

She looked at the piano in a daze, and said softly, "You ask me, what can I do?" ”

Her tone was full of weakness, and Liu Er's eyes dimmed when she heard it.

Yes, what can Sister Lu do, she is the same as herself, and the deed of sale is in the hands of her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law treats her differently, just because Sister Lu is the most outstanding of them.

To put it bluntly, Lu Yunyao, like Liu Er, is just a thing, no different from good-looking ornaments, how can he decide his own fate.

It's too much of a luxury for them.

Liu Er is young and has the purest mind, and as soon as the grievances come up, they turn into tears gushing out of her eyes.

Lu Yunyao knew the bad news and sat on the side with a sad face.

I didn't hear Liu Er's voice for a long time, and when I turned my head, I found that she was pouting and crying like a little flower cat, but she was amused by her embarrassed appearance and laughed.

didn't care about being sad, so he comforted Liu'er and went.

Pingxi Hou Mansion

The gray-haired old lady, dressed solemnly and with a majestic expression, sat at the head of the hall and accepted the greetings of the couple below.

"I wonder if my mother's cough can be cured?"

Even though Pingxihou has returned from the army for many years, he still has his old habits, and his posture is very tall when he stands.

At this time, with a smile on his face, he greeted the old lady in the hall.

"Yesterday, I found a good prescription for cough from a friend, so I asked the housekeeper to grab the medicine and send it over, I don't know if it can be used?"

The old lady closed her eyes and kept counting the Buddhist beads in her hand, but did not answer.

But the maid standing next to her replied softly: "Back to the Hou Ye, yesterday the old lady was not happy and couldn't smell the smell of the medicine, so she asked the slave to pour the medicine." ”

I couldn't smell the smell, so I poured the medicine?

The medicine that the old lady takes on weekdays doesn't smell good, and of course Pingxihou's son won't be able to hear this excuse, this is his mother beating him again through this matter.

Secretly glaring at the extravagantly dressed woman beside him, Pingxihou had a flattering smile on his face.

"It was my son's negligence, and then I asked the doctor in the house to improve the prescription and send it to my mother when it was better."

The woman who was with Pingxi Hou shrank for a moment, and at the moment she lowered her head, a trace of impatience crossed her eyes, but she quickly raised her head and said apologetically: "It's all the fault of the concubine, and she failed to serve well, so that the old lady's illness dragged on for so long." ”

"In that case, Yuqing, you can serve your mother well these days, and come back when your mother recovers." Pingxi Hou Road.
