Chapter 22: Clouds and Showers
Wang Mazi took out a small cloth notebook from her arms, on which some information of important customers was recorded.
After flipping through it, Wang Mazi understood and smiled: "Today is Liu Gongzi's birthday, no wonder I came over to arrange it so early, okay, you go and inform Miss Taoyan, dress up more beautifully today, and bring the finch over." β
The Taoyan girl is proficient in musical instruments, and she blows a good Xiao, with this good Xiao, she has captured many men, but don't worry, Liu Gongzi is her frequent customer, and she has always loved her.
It's just that this finch is the first time, and although it has a docile personality, it's always a little worried.
Wang Mazi rubbed her hands and frowned: "Today, the finch is officially popular, and you will be able to make money for me every day in the future." However, there were whip marks on her neck......"
"It's not in the way, since Liu Gongzi has decided, he won't be angry. But if you want a few girls to teach the finches, just be docile. The little guy smiled in confusion: "Besides, it's okay if the technique is not good, man, that's what you eat." β
"Well, let's go get ready."
--------------
At three o'clock in the morning, the finch pushed open Lin Jianqiu's door, cleaned up his room lightly, and took out the flowers in the room, and picked some from the wild and brought them in, and changed them.
looked around, secretly picked up Lin Jianqiu's clothes, and pushed the door out. I walked straight to the well near the miscellaneous room in the backyard, got water, and started washing clothes.
Clouds passed, and there were showers.
The finch did not hide from the rain, but continued to wash her clothes by the well, and when she was done, the rain stopped. Carrying a bamboo pole to dry his clothes, he put his body close to his clothes and secretly wiped his face, but he didn't know whether he was wiping tears or sweat.
Then he looked at the mouth of the well, and went there and probed down, and the well was very deep and cold.
After thinking about it, she went to the kitchen to find one or two melons and fruits, secretly hid them in her skirt and brought them out, put them in a bamboo basket, and put them down with a bamboo hook. This is a good way that everyone knows, put the melons and fruits in the well water, and if they are put for a long time, the melons will be cold.
In midsummer, cold melons and fruits are the most comfortable to eat.
The clouds and rain are added over the waves, and the building is high and the water is cold and sweet. Que'er sat quietly on the railing of the courtyard corridor, looking at Lin Jianqiu's clothes hanging on the bamboo pole.
"Mama Wang, this finch won't commit suicide by throwing herself into a well, right?" The little guy asked softly.
Wang Mazi, who was shaking a fan on the second floor, didn't speak, but after deeply observing the time of about half a pillar of incense, she ordered: "Send someone to keep an eye on her, don't get too close, once there is any movement...... Also, call Miss Zhizhi over and tell her about the current situation of her father. β
The suicide of a woman in Hualou is not an uncommon thing, since it is not an uncommon thing, Wang Mazi naturally has experience.
After a criminal official like Que'er, which flower building doesn't have it?
This kind of woman grew up in fine clothes and food, and suddenly wants to become a man's crotch plaything, and it is a different man's crotch plaything every day, how can she accept it calmly?
If you are young when you come, like a finch at the age of nine or ten, then it is easy to do, and time can slowly adjust a person; If you are old when you come, most of them will not obey, and most of them will rather die than obey.
After all, these women have read some books, and once they have read them, they have pursuits.
What would rather be broken than broken.
Bah! Wang Mazi sneered, when you come to this flower building, no matter how noble you used to be, you are destined to become a crotch plaything.
Those who are looking for death and life, the sea has gone, and how many are really dead? In the end, I was still afraid of death. Occasionally, if you meet someone who is really strong and really looking for death, there is also a way.
This method is very simple, two words: family.
The branch girl is twenty-eight, just like the finch, and she is also the queen of the criminal officer. Unlike Que'er, who came to Hualou at a very young age, she only came at the age of sixteen, which is the age of the boudoir to be married, and she is already married to a son surnamed Xu.
I'd rather die than obey.
Can......
Now, the girl is like a fish in water in the flower building, and she has even saved the redemption money but has not left.
"Do you want to jump into a well?" The Lady walked up to the finch and got straight to the point.
The finch didn't speak, just looked at Lin Jianqiu's clothes. And Zhizhi also looked over, Lin Jianqiu's clothes were the same as ordinary maids, drying in the sun.
Zhizhi picked up the fan and fanned it, the fan was full of the smell of rouge powder, this smell lingered, when she walked on the street, even if the people who had never patronized Jinmanyuan, who had never seen her, they could immediately scold her through this smell.
Even,Even the posture of walking has become a demeanor that only can have.γ
"You like Lin Gongzi." Miss Zhizhi didn't need to answer, but smiled after saying this, and the smile was affirmative. Zhizhi is a person who has come over, and he can see through it at a glance.
"Do you have someone you like? I mean, before you came here, I heard that you were betrothed to a son. Finch asked, turning her head.
The Zhizhi girl was stunned, her waving fan paused, and then she turned her head to look at the finch: "This was all four years ago, yes, the surname is Xu." Jiangnan people. β
"You...... He ......, "The finch can't bear to ask.
When she first came here, she was just in time for Zhizhi to reach the age of picking up customers, and she was the size of her. During that time, Zhizhi cried every day, crying so much that his liver and intestines were broken, and he tried to die several times but did not die.
When he was half-angry, he muttered in his mouth: Childe, Childe, I'm sorry for you.
It can be seen that the love is deep and meaningful.
"He came to visit me later." The fan fanned again, and the smile on the face of the Zhizhi girl was faint, as if talking about someone else's business, a gust of wind blew, and she muttered: "The so-called Yiren is on the water side." The so-called Yiren go with the wind. β
In the past, it was everyone who was beautiful, and it was the pure girl on the water side, not the sluts.
"That ......" The finch didn't dare to think about how embarrassing the scene was, and whether Zhizhi would cry bitterly.
"That's good." Zhizhi bent down, plucked a flower next to the chair, and raised it to the sun: "Sparrow, no matter who we used to be, once we step here, even after redeeming it, we are all lowly people, and no man will really love us." β
As she spoke, she threw the flower to the ground, stomped her foot hard, rubbed it hard, and then lifted her foot.
The beautiful flowers become crumbling and unbearable.
"Make more money, save more money, your father is still suffering on the frontier like my father. This year, I brought a lot of money, and my father used the money to buy off the little officials over there, so that he didn't have to go to the cold place to build the city wall, but was transferred to the back kitchen as a cook, and the wind and sun could not blow, and he could still eat leftovers. β
As she spoke, she handed the fan in her hand to the finch.
"Your father is still building the city wall, he is old, if you don't make more money, I'm afraid you won't survive for two years and will die. Remember, those who can give us money to sleep on us are our benefactors. It is your father's benefactor who has escaped from the sea of suffering, and we only have this way. β
The finch did not speak for a long time, and the branch held the fan motionless.
I don't know how long it took, but after a few sighs, the finch closed her eyes, took her fan, and a line of tears slipped down her face.
"If it hurts, you can shout if you want to, and you can catch it if you want to, and men enjoy this, especially Liu Gongzi, I have served him. Although Liu Gongzi has fox odor and foot odor, and also has some bad breath, he is not bad, very gentle, and the most important thing is to be generous enough. By the way, don't be embarrassed when you're done, ask for more money. β
Zhizhi shook her hand gently.
The clouds passed, and suddenly it rained.
This summer's rain is quite a lot, dripping, mixed with heat, and it is desperate.
[A few more people to reward, although not much, thank you for the eight bowls of women, that is, more than 5,000 words a day, plus 3,000 words to save the manuscript, the liver 8,000 words is simple for boys, and I still feel a little tired for meβ_β]
