Chapter 57: Bai Qiuyan and Hua Yingying (2)

After crying for a while, Bai Qiuyan helped Hua Yingying to sit down in the chair, and after some careful questioning, she knew what she had experienced during this period of time-

After Hua Yingying boarded the ship with the "prince of the prince" that day, she took the waterway to Jinzhou, and along the way, the "prince of the prince" did treat her with fine clothes and food, and served her well.

But after returning to Jinzhou, "Wang Gongzi" did not take her home to see his parents and the main house, but settled her in a residence and rested for a few days. Take her to the mountains and rivers every day, eat, drink and have fun, so unhappy.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and suddenly one day, "Wang Gongzi" said to Hua Yingying: "My father doesn't agree to this marriage, but my mother and wife still agree, you can talk here for a few days, and when my mother and wife and I persuade my father, I will marry you into the house."

At that time, Hua Yingying really liked him, and when she heard him say this, although she was worried, she was still full of hope after all, thinking that every word he said was true, so she patiently circled in her residence, waiting for his good news.

She thought at the time that he was the son of Taiwei, and his father was in a high position, so he might not agree with her entering the house as a Qinglou woman, and then thought that she was just a concubine, and it was common for high-ranking officials in the court to marry Qinglou women as concubines, and his father would always figure it out and agree.

She thought that "Wang Gongzi" treated her sincerely, and she had found a good home, so she listened to him and waited patiently for his news. During the time she lived in the dwelling, she looked forward to it during the day, and in the evening, when she saw him coming, she grinded with him and lingered with him.

After more than ten days, she was a little bored, and he rarely came to her again, and she didn't know where to look for him.

She went to the street to inquire about the home address of "Wang Gongzi", who knows, the more she asked, the more shocked she became, it turned out that this "Wang Gongzi" was not the son of a captain at all...... Rather, the owner of a big brothel!

Although she was frightened, she still firmly believed that he liked her, and she didn't dislike his identity as a brothel owner, after all, he had spent tens of thousands of taels for her, if he didn't really like her, then why did he do this?

She still went back to the residence to wait for him, but he did not come for a long time, and she panicked, so she went to the big brothel to look for him, but in his room, she actually bumped into him and was having sex with a woman, and she caught him red-handed......

The woman who accompanied the "prince prince" to bed was actually a young woman from a good family......

"Wang Gongzi" was afraid that she would denounce her, so he asked someone to tie her up on the spot, and after a few days of detention, forced her to be a prostitute in the museum, and forced her to pick up customers.

But she is not good at learning art at all, she used to be in Yunxiangyuan, it was entirely because of Bai Qiuyan's behind-the-scenes guidance, she was so popular and so eye-catching, but in the brothel of "Wang Gongzi", her clumsy skills were suddenly exposed, and "Wang Gongzi" was annoyed, and scolded her for spending tens of thousands of taels to buy such a product, forcing her to sell herself, saying that she wanted to earn back the capital.

Hua Yingying didn't comply, so "Wang Gongzi" instructed someone to drug her food and forced her to sell herself......

……

After listening to this story, Song Ting saw Hua Yingying hugging Bai Qiuyan and crying bitterly, crying endlessly.

"Qiuyan, I don't want to live! I might as well die! Hua Yingying hugged Bai Qiuyan, her body trembled violently because of the pain, and when she cried to the end, her tears dried, and she sobbed and sobbed.

Bai Qiuyan had a deep sisterly relationship with her, and after listening to her painful story, she saw that she was crying a lot, so she wiped her tears with a sweat towel.

Bai Qiuyan's eyes were also red at this time, tears swirled in her eyes, the more she endured not crying, the more the tears were like beads with broken threads, falling down big and big. But she still didn't make any crying, just hugged Hua Yingying, a tearful person, patted her on the back, and whispered comfort.

"Qiuyan, I really don't want to live......"

Hua Yingying said this again, Bai Qiuyan hurriedly pressed her mouth, her face was vaguely stained with tears, and Pear Blossom said with rain: "Yingying, don't you think about it......"

The two looked at each other and wept, hugged and sobbed, but they didn't cry again.

On the side, Song Ting was quite calm, he was still drinking his tea, thinking calmly - Hua Yingying can get to this point, if the world is sinister, but it is also; But if it weren't for her own wishful thinking at the beginning, she had to follow the "prince of the prince", even if she stayed in Yunxiangyuan, she could still continue to be her Qingqi, why did she come to this point?

Bai Qiuyan took out some bottles and cans from the back room, rolled up her sleeves, and sprinkled some medicinal powder on her arms, neck, and other red and swollen places, in the process of doing these things, her eyes have been wet, and her eyelashes are obviously wet with tears......

Song Ting found that the bottles and cans that Bai Qiuyan was holding were the ones he gave her last time, but he didn't expect that she would keep them......

Seeing that Hua Yingying became quiet after Bai Qiuyan rubbed the medicine to persuade her, Song Ting opened her mouth and asked, "In this way, then you should have escaped?" But who's following you along the road? ”

Hua Yingying was shocked and said, "How do you know that I escaped?" He immediately knelt down and said, "Song Gongzi, I beg you not to report to the official, okay?" The slave's deed of sale is still in the hands of the surnamed Wang......" After speaking, he sat on the ground in a dejected manner, as if he had lost his soul.

Bai Qiuyan said: "Gongzi Song is now a member of the government."

When Hua Yingying heard this, she almost fainted in fright, Bai Qiuyan hurriedly said, "Don't worry!" The DPRK and China are not such people. ”

"Chaozhong......" Hua Yingying was stunned for a moment, and saw Bai Qiuyan's eyes staring at Song Ting, before she reacted, the word "Chaozhong" turned out to be his cousin. Seeing the appearance of the two of them being concubines, and thinking of their own tragic experience, the gloom on his face was even worse, and he reached out to wipe the tears on his face, and his heart was both envy and regret......

Facing Bai Qiuyan's faint pleading gaze, Song Ting nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Shi Niang, I won't do that kind of thing." Bai Qiuyan glanced at him gratefully and smiled softly.

In this era, a deed of sale is a proof of the relationship between master and servant. Whether it is a house slave, a maid, a prostitute, etc., they are all slaves in nature, and slaves have no human rights, according to the "Liang Law", if a slave dares to commit a crime, disobey the master, talk back to the master, or discuss the master's rights and wrongs behind his back...... If it is a person who dares to kill the master, whether it is manslaughter, "legitimate defense", or "excessive defense", it is a proper death penalty, and if he intentionally kills the master, he will be punished with capital punishment...... In the process of punishing the slave, the master accidentally killed the slave, as long as he bought the government, he would basically be fine; Many slaves themselves were affected by wars, wars, famines, and the like, and they voluntarily sold themselves into slavery after their fathers and mothers died, and their clan relatives died......

Hua Yingying's deed of sale is still in the hands of the "Wang Gongzi", then she is still his slave, if the "Wang Gongzi" really comes to look for it, then even if it is the government, it will definitely choose to stand on the side of the "Wang Gongzi" and send her back to Jinzhou.

In other words, Hua Yingying is now a person with no identity, don't let the people of the government arrest her, if she is caught, she must be sent back to the brothel in Golden State.

Although Song Ting is a member of the government, and he is in charge of the county seal and the entire county government, he is a person with a modern sense of human rights, and he will definitely not do the kind of thing that aids and abuses the lord and helps the lord to bully the servants.

"You get up," Song Ting took a sip of tea, glanced at Hua Yingying lightly, and said, "What is the name of that prince?"

Hua Yingying stood up, lowered her head and said, "Wang Shizhen."

"Oh......" Song Ting nodded heavily, wrote down the name, and then asked, "Now that you have no identity, what are your plans in the future?"

"I ......" Hua Yingying was silent, thought about it for a while, and felt that her life was miserable, so she cried sobbing.

Song Ting was a little impatient, and said bluntly: "It's useless to cry, can you change your fate by crying?"

Hua Yingying said dumbfoundedly: "I...... What else can I do? ”

Suddenly despaired, tears fell again, "I'm still dead, I'll throw myself into the river......"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to go out, looking like he really planned to throw himself into the river.

Before she could step out of the house, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

It was Song Ting who stopped her.

Song Ting glared at her and said with a slight annoyance: "Are you crazy?" If you want to die, why not seek death in Golden State? What is it to come here to seek death? ”

Hua Yingying bowed her head and said, "I...... I want to see Qiu Yan......"

Song Ting saw through her at a glance and sneered, "What 'look'? If you want to go to her, just say it. ”

Hua Yingying hung her head and didn't dare to say anything more.

At this time, Bai Qiuyan came over and pulled Song Ting's shirt, and whispered: "Chaozhong, don't be so fierce to her, I understand her temperament, don't force her......"

Song Ting's tone softened a little at this time, and asked Bai Qiuyan: "Then you want to support two people by selling tofu?"

Bai Qiuyan lowered her head, rubbed her clothes with her hands, and whispered like a gnat: "It's not impossible...... I sell tofu, and I make a lot of money......"

Seeing Bai Qiuyan's appearance, Song Ting couldn't help but sneer, and said softly to her: "Even if you are willing to make money to support, she can't follow you to show up, right?" In case that 'Wang Shizhen' came to you and said that you were harboring him, wouldn't it be a drag on you? ”

Bai Qiuyan and Hua Yingying listened to his analysis, and hung their heads in surprise, both of them had no idea.

At this time, Song Ting said: "If you want to avoid Wang Shizhen's search and not be caught by the government, then there is only one place to go......"

Bai Qiuyan and Hua Yingying asked in unison, "Where?"

……

Three days later, Yuncui Mountain Meditation Nunnery.

The county government had nothing to do, and the Song Dynasty took Bai Qiuyan and Hua Yingying's two daughters, climbed along the stone steps to the top of the mountain, and the meditation master of the meditation nunnery went out to greet her.

Song Ting explained the intention, and the meditation master folded his hands: "Amitabha Buddha ......"

Inside the hermitage, a shelf and a pair of scissors......

The long hair, like snowflakes, fell all over the ground...... Hua Yingying watched her hair fall and couldn't help shedding tears of grievance and remorse.

The sparrows squeaked in the bamboo forest, Song Ting took Bai Qiuyan down the stone steps, and Bai Qiuyan asked him, "Really let Ying Ying be a nun?" According to her temperament, I'm afraid it's hard to accept it for a while, right? ”

Song Ting smiled: "Nuns can also be vulgar, just let her go and meditate, and hide by the way, let's talk about it later......"

"Hmm." Bai Qiuyan nodded her head and smiled happily.
