Chapter 72: The Flower (5)
Yang Nianchen is Si Mohuai's second wife, outsiders are a little puzzled that this general will marry a medical girl as his wife, but the Si family is Si Mohuai's family, and no one dares to oppose his decision, Zhen Zhen silently watched Nianchen live a few years of comfortable life, but when Si Huiran was six years old, she unfortunately fell seriously ill, and there was no doctor in the medicine stone, and she died in a few days.
Before dying, Yang Nianchen entrusted Si Huiran to Zhen Zhen, she knew that Zhen Zhen was a demon clan, but she was the same as Grandpa Yang, this secret was kept all her life, she wanted Zhen Zhen to take care of Si Huiran safely until she was sixteen years old, because once the general remarried his wife, Si Huiran's situation would not be better, just like Si Huanting, even if she was the main mother who never scolded her, but Yang Nianchen also knew that the second and third ladies in the house bullied her behind her back. But Yang Nianchen also hoped that Zhen Zhen would not let Si Huiran know about her existence anymore, because she and her grandfather already owed her a lot, and the fate between them would end here.
When she was sixteen years old, Si Mohuai intended to marry her to Feng Xibai, but the queen mother at that time resolutely disagreed, she looked down on Si Huiran's mother's background, and insisted on choosing Si Huanting. Maybe it was because of this incident that Si Huiran had resentment and obsession in her heart, but Zhen Zhen didn't understand these desires of the human race at that time, she only felt that Si Huiran was healthy and safe now, and she was very relieved that she was so sinking.
For so many years in the General's Mansion, Zhen Zhen is just an inconspicuous flower in the garden most of the time, when she is bored, her favorite thing to do is to listen to those maids and servants chatting, one day, she accidentally learned that the most deceitful person in this world is the woman in the Qinglou, and those sons and brothers who deceived one by one willingly spent a lot of money, abandoning their wives and children. Vera, who can't and can't lie, has a yearning for those people, which may be a kind of rebellious mentality, so Vera decides to see it.
Since you want to see, you must find the best Qinglou, so two years ago, Zhen Zhen came to Yilan Pavilion in Qingzhou City, Nanshan, and heard that the girls here are the best, which means that they are the most deceitful. Vera's talent made it easy for her to enter the door of Ylang Pavilion, and she didn't have to worry about someone beating her idea, because she could be said to be inconspicuous here, and even a little ugly.
Unable to pick up guests, Zhen Zhen became a full-time musician in Ylang Pavilion, and no one paid attention to her, but the bustard's mother and girls here were very kind to her, which made her quickly adapt to life here, and in the blink of an eye, she stayed here for six months. She found that the benefactors who came here, whether old or young, were either rich or powerful, and it seemed that they came here to let the girls here cheat, and heard them say things like Childe, you have to come often, Childe, the slave family misses you, etc., but Zhen Zhen knows that these girls are sitting together in private to complain about these benefactors, no matter how disgusting they are, but every time I see them again, they will still have a smile like a flower.
The frequent visitors of Yilan Pavilion are all sons and brothers with heads and faces in Qingzhou City, but Zhen Zhen has this ability to forget at a glance, and after coming here for half a year, she only remembers one person, not because he looks really outstanding, let alone because he spends money like dirt, but because he is more powerful than the girls here, and he can deceive people, and the bankrupt people who were deceived by him will actually thank him and regard him as a close friend, which makes Zhen Zhen impressed.
Of course, this person is Chongyang, and Yilan Pavilion is a good place for him to hunt, but his prey is not all kinds of stunning beauties here, but those benefactors who are either rich or noble. But recently he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him behind his back, but he couldn't find any clues about this person, he didn't expect that in addition to Hanyi and his spies, there were people who had such a ability to hide themselves, which completely aroused his competitiveness, he calmed down and began to look for this person, he sat in the hall of Yilan Pavilion for five days in a row, looking at the bustards, the little girls, the girls, the benefactors, and finally he set his eyes on the back of the central stage, the humble musician who played the piano, Don't blame him for finding the person in the corner at this time, she is too ordinary, there are so many flowers here, it is difficult for any normal man to find her.
Zhen Zhen also knew that Chongyang had found her, but she didn't panic at the slightest if she was caught by someone's feet, or as usual, Chongyang admitted that she was a little beautiful, but she was so concerned by a girl, and even found out by him, the girl still didn't shy away from suspicion, and he began to compete secretly: You look at me, I look at you. Chongyang found that in addition to the guqin, this girl was also very proficient in guzheng and pipa, but it was a pity that her face was too ordinary.
When the bustard asked Zhen Zhen to temporarily replace the sick dancer to dance, she wanted to refuse, but the speed of her speech was obviously not as fast as the girls changed her clothes, and they stripped Zhen Zhen's clothes that seemed to them to be cheesy in a few clicks, and put on a white dress, and there was a big red flower blooming at the skirt.
Zhen Zhen is not very good at dancing, fortunately, she used to learn from Qiqi for a few days in Bumigu, she was a little stiff at the beginning, because scratching her head in front of a group of people she didn't know was not what she was good at, she had to start looking for that familiar figure in the crowd, until she saw Chongyang, she felt that her eyes had focus, she stared at the direction of this person, forgetting everything, with the song that came out slowly, and gently danced her body with Qiqi in her memories.
Chongyang didn't care about the dancing girls, until he felt the familiar gaze fall on him, and he began to look for the girl on the stage, the girl wearing the veil was... Those clean and pure eyes, it was indeed her, I didn't expect her to dance, although the dancing posture was not flattering, but this figure was okay, Chongyang at that time didn't know that this not smart figure was deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul.
Zhen Zhen's debut response turned out to be good, there were benefactors in the audience who began to bid for the first night of this girl, these people are all people who have been in the market for a long time, whether the girl here is new or not, they can tell at a glance. When one person bids, it will cause a competition among a group of people, and in the end it is not a competition for the girl at all, but a competition for their self-esteem.
Listening to the rising prices from the audience, Zhen Zhen was a little stunned for a while, she looked at the old bustard's mother, she had already seen the money, in fact, she didn't blame others, Zhen Zhen came here and didn't say that she wanted to sell her art or not sell herself, everyone thought that she had just been unable to sell because of her own conditions.
Zhen Zhen had no choice but to take off the veil, she thought that her true face would discourage the enthusiasm of the people below, but she didn't know that those people didn't care about these for a long time, the competition had begun, and they couldn't stop if they couldn't tell the winner.
"One hundred taels."
"Two hundred taels."
"Five hundred taels."
"One thousand taels."
Listening to her rising value, Zhen Zhen couldn't cry or laugh, since she couldn't stop it, she didn't struggle, just stood there quietly, waiting for the result. Chongyang has been looking at Zhen Zhen on the stage, after all, she is an untrained little girl, I wanted to see her panic, see her wronged, and even silently hope that she will beg herself, after all, the two have been eyebrows for so long, there is always some affection without affection, but except for the moment of surprise at the beginning, she is calm and does not speak.
Zhen Zhen's expression of indifference to who it was completely angered Chongyang, he felt that he had underestimated this little girl all along, but he didn't expect him to have a day when he looked away, and blamed him for being confused by this girl's eyes,
"A thousand taels of gold."
A low and powerful voice silenced the entire hall of Yilan Pavilion, everyone was looking for this person who spent a lot of money, when Zhen Zhen saw Chongyang walking towards her, a strange feeling rose in her heart, when his hand reached in front of her, Zhen Zhen also forgot to react for a while, her subconscious embarrassment and panic calmed Chongyang's anger a little. But this is obviously not enough, he still has to teach her a good lesson, under the attention of everyone, Chongyang hugged the girl in front of him, warm nephrite, full of fragrant fragrance, he felt that he might have drunk a little too much just now, a little dizzy.
