Chapter 539: The Mask of Survival

The gray houses in Jinyang are completely different from those in Tokyo and Yangzhou, and most of them are on the top of the mountain...... It's the kind of eaves that are very narrow. It is probably because of the rainy and windy climate in Hedong.

In Hongying's eyes, even if this place is the mansion of a famous general in the Northern Han Dynasty, the environment is also very poor, but she doesn't care. Naturally, women like elegant or luxurious environments, but the red warbler has seen a lot and does not particularly care about such things; In contrast, what is even more unbearable for her in Tokyo is the boredom. A man with a broken foot, a woman, stays in the house all day, and the kind of boredom is hard to endure.

This time she came to Beihan voluntarily, and no one forced her. The Khitans gave her a brutal nightmare, and they made her like this, and of course she had hatred in her heart; But hate is not the whole reason why she wants to come to Beihan, there is another reason that she simply wants to come, that is, it is too boring in Tokyo.

The red warbler stayed in the room where she lived for a while, then got up and found a piece of cloth and slowly cleaned up the room...... Of course, she has no interest in tidying up her room, if she likes to do this, why should she learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?

She did these virtuous things because Yang Ye was coming.

If Yang Ye has no interest in himself, he is willing to give up a good horse worth 200 yuan? Hongying has never been a prostitute, but as a concubine, she has not never seen a man, and she understands men's minds too well. Yang Ye is a person who obviously has the style of an official eunuch and Vanity Fair, and he is very cautious; But he is young, strong, and hot-blooded, and it is generally impossible not to have a passion for beauty.

If she was in Chen Jiali's house, she would feel so bored that she would have to do this kind of table-wiping work, because there were slaves and maids to do it. But now, she doesn't find it boring and is patient because there is anticipation.

Everyone is acting, but sometimes the play is deliberately arranged, just like meeting Yang Ye by chance. It was a pre-prepared play, but it was really real...... If it weren't for the red warbler who had seen it himself, he would have never heard of this method; Generally, the meticulous work, or the beauty plan, is sent directly, how can it be so meticulous? Anyway, the red warbler has never seen it, and I'm afraid Yang Ye can't think of it.

Just because it is too true, the red warbler herself has entered the play. At the gate of the brothel, she was sold and begged, and suddenly felt that the woman was very sad, and the tears were very real. The red warbler sighed, and was slightly relieved to think that she wouldn't really encounter that kind of thing...... Chen Jiali is still a very kind person to herself, it is impossible to sell her into a brothel, and this time she is doing things for the emperor of the court, and it is impossible for the emperor to ignore any credit.

At this moment, I saw Yang Ye push the door and walk in. Hongying's face was happy, and she hurriedly turned around excitedly and shyly, and then lowered her head and made a blessing: "The concubine has seen General Yang." ”

Yang Ye said expressionlessly: "Are you still used to living here?" ”

Hongying hurriedly said: "Being in General Yang's Mansion is a blessing for the concubine, and there is no better place than this." ”

Yang Ye's face was still silent, but Hongying could feel that he was very useful. This kind of person of status will probably not be upset if others worship what he has; On the contrary, if he says what he doesn't have, then he has nothing to do.

Yang Ye said again: "You used to be in a merchant's house, and you had to do such housework?" He especially emphasized the word merchant, even if he was well-fed and well-fed, he was still a merchant.

The red warbler doesn't care at all, and of course it doesn't raise the bar. immediately replied softly: "If Ah Lang likes it, I don't have to do it; When I was in the cold, I was like a slave. However, in General Yang's mansion, I am very willing to serve you tea and water, and I want to do my best to repay my kindness. ”

"Hmph." Yang Ye sat down in a chair. The red warbler was full of joy and made him tea.

Yang Ye sat there, stroking the water with the lid of the cup, and said, "I came today to ask where you came from. ”

"Please ask the engong, the concubine will not dare to hide half a sentence."

When the red warbler first heard this, she was a little nervous in her heart, after all, her heart was weak. But I was soon relieved and understood what it meant...... In fact, Yang Ye didn't doubt himself at all, but he was in a hurry to see him, so he had to find a reason. The interrogation of identity is a very worthy reason for the scene.

This kind of man, in the eyes of the red warbler, is still more realistic, he is not the kind of person who talks flatteringly when he sees a beautiful woman he likes; Those who like it are so good that they get tired of it, and when they get tired of it, they discard it like a shoe. Yang Ye is obviously not, there are no outsiders here, he is still so secretive that he can't let go, he seems to be rarely close to women, and he is a little shy...... Yang Ye's shyness is to find an excuse to cover up.

But men like Yang Ye are not reliable, he cares more about his feathers, and women are also not important in his heart.

It's just that Yang Ye is still very good, he is a kind and sympathetic person, so he will help; This is already better than most dignitaries in the world. In fact, how many pragmatic men in this world think women are important? Unless married, the parties have something in common tied together. If the red warbler is a little lady who is not deeply involved in the world, she will probably believe it, but she is not.

A person like Yang Ye, although the conditions are very good, what does it have to do with the red warbler? He does not belong to the Red Warbler...... And he didn't know how to please a woman. What people care about most is themselves, even the red warbler with a very low status; This Yang Ye always wants to show how he has status and how upright he is, but he ignores the feelings of the red warbler, how can he get the heart of the red warbler?

The red warbler held him with all his heart and made him happy...... Because now she needs Yang Ye, it's not that Yang Ye can't let her go.

Yang Ye quickly asked the first question: "How are your feet disabled?" ”

Hongying suddenly looked miserable, sighed and said: "The owner of the concubine is a Yangzhou merchant, surnamed Shen, who once took the merchant gang to Youzhou and was looted by the Khitans. I went there several times before, but that time the business was very large, so the master went there in person, and took the concubine and waited for the two sisters...... My sister has been tortured to death by the Khitans. The concubines were driven by them to the red-hot coals for fun, and their feet were burned and almost roasted, and they had to be sawed off to survive. She shook her head as she spoke, and her face turned pale. Because it was not made up, but it was true, like a nightmare.

Yang Ye was angry when he heard this, obviously dissatisfied with the Khitans.

Hongying heard what Chen Jiali said, although the Northern Han Dynasty was an ally of the Khitan, it was not really good with the Khitan, but they just needed to use each other. In fact, whether it is the court or the people of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Liao people will not have a good impression.

Hongying was silent for a moment and then said: "After the concubine was redeemed, she couldn't go back to Yangzhou, stayed in Hebei for a while, and then arrived in Jinyang. Later, because the Shen family lost the owner of the family, the poor management, and the loss in Youzhou was too great, and the foreign debts could not be repaid, so they cleaned up all valuable things except the ancestral house and gave them to the creditors. The concubine was in Jinyang, and she was not spared. ”

She said and cried, "The concubine has become like this, and she will be sold to the Qinglou." I wanted to die......"

Yang Ye was annoyed and sympathetic, and said, "It's really miserable. ”

Hongying secretly glanced at him, took two steps forward with his crutches, knelt in front of Yang Ye, and choked up: "Fortunately, Engong came to the rescue." ”

"That's it." Yang Ye said calmly, "But with a gesture, doing good deeds is not a bad thing." ”

Hongying whispered: "The concubine body is also a blessing in disguise, if you have to be sold to that kind of dirty place, how can you meet General Yang like this...... He was in a high position at a young age, a decent person, and a gentleman who showed talent......"

After hearing this, Yang Ye stretched out his hand to help Hongying: "You are also a poor person, you don't have to be polite, get up." ”

Hongying blushed when she was touched on the arm, she really hadn't been in contact with a man for too long, and of course a man like Yang Ye didn't disgust Xiaoniang. But he touched it, then withdrew his hand, and asked seriously, "By the way, your name is Red ......."

"If you return to Engong, the concubine is called Hongying."

Hongying's feeling is still a little worse, the other party is serious, pretending not to have any thirst at all, and he can't even remember his name...... The red warbler knows that she has a low status, but with such a feeling, how can she be in the mood to be affectionate?

Yang Ye is a decent gentleman, not a good woman, very noble and worthy of respect; But the red warbler felt that she was very cheap, that feeling...... It's an intuition or delusion that if you're unattractive as a woman, you're going to be very upset; It's as if he's buying and selling prostitutes, exchanging himself for something else. Anyway, I'm basically not in the mood at all.

She didn't have any impulses or emotions, so she became very calm, and knew in her heart that she was indeed selling, exchanging her body for something.

She took the initiative to say softly: "The concubine doesn't know how to repay the great kindness of the engong, and she is ...... wholeheartedly."

As soon as she said this, she wanted to stand up, but the prosthetic foot under her feet did not stand steadily, and she suddenly threw herself into Yang Ye's arms, and her warm and soft fragrant body was attached to Yang Ye's body. The red warbler hurriedly said: "Oops! I didn't mean to......"

Yang Ye held her up, and his face turned a little red: "You slow down." ”

Hongying said softly: "I want to get close to General Yang, but I know that you are a righteous gentleman, and you have respect and admiration in your heart, so I can't help it...... You don't hate concubines, do you? ”

"No, no, no......" Yang Ye's breathing also became short.

Hongying continued, also to dispel his concerns: "The concubine was bought by General Yang, whether it is a concubine or a slave, it is just someone who belongs to you." It is also a matter of course for a slave to serve Ah Lang, and the concubine can repay General Yang like this, and she is also full of joy, as long as you don't dislike it. ”

Yang Ye said: "What do I dislike? ”

Hongying lowered her eyebrows and said, "I think I'm disabled, I know I'm not good enough......"

In fact, she just doesn't have feet, maybe she doesn't use it very well in daily life, but she is very beautiful in other places, and the sleeping is not bad.

The red warbler has taken the initiative to do it obviously, but Yang Ye is still steady. She added: "My feet hurt a little, can General Yang carry me to the bed to rest for a while?" ”
