Li Fuguo is still on the road, entering the late autumn Jiangning County as noisy and prosperous as in the past, although the Central Plains is in turmoil, but from Guanluo, Hedong, Hexi and even the Western Regions of the merchants are still in an endless stream, which shows the prosperity of Datang commerce and the openness of economic and trade from one side.

Five days after the two made a covenant in Yanyu Tower, Kong Sheng still lives in the Shunsheng Inn, practicing sword dancing in the morning, polishing his riding skills in the afternoon, and quietly waiting for the day when the time will come and the spring flowers will bloom.

Yang Xue is at home and thoughtful, and occasionally takes the red cotton tree to meet Kong Sheng on the Yanyu Tower. Perhaps Yang Xueruo didn't want to hide this meeting, so it slowly spread throughout the city.

The red cotton tree is to go back and forth between the Yang Mansion and the Shunsheng Inn every day, as Yang Xueruo's tender messenger, or send letters, or send wine and food, or send clothes, shoes and socks, and so on.

Although Yang Qi's side still maintained a strange silence, Yang Nu's movement was so loud that it undoubtedly gave outsiders an illusion: Kong Sheng was going to become the son-in-law of the Yang family again!

Zhou Chang was almost depressed and anxious to an uncontrollable degree. Received by his father Zhou An's strict orders, he was trapped in the inn every day, saying that he was reading poetry and books, but in fact, where could he read the next book? The woman he loves and his brilliant future are going to be snatched away by the Kong family, how can he still sit still?

If it weren't for the strict education of the Yixing Zhou family, Zhou Chang would not dare to disobey his father's orders, otherwise, he would have run out and use his own methods to fight Kong Sheng to the death.

Liu Xinru didn't expect that the dignified head of the Yixing Zhou family would be so despicable and shameless, and he couldn't threaten himself before, so he turned to make a big fuss about Tian'er.

Zhou An's words are strict, and in order to achieve his goal, he doesn't care about etiquette, righteousness and shame, and his threats are so unscrupulous. If Liu Xinru doesn't listen to the mercy and doesn't act according to his plan, he will not only sell Liu Xinru into the red neighborhood of Yangzhou in the future, but also deal with the innocent and romantic sweetness.

This finally pinched Liu Xinru's weakness. Liu Xinru has been dependent on Tian'er for life all these years, and her name is the master and servant, but she is actually like a sister. Liu Xinru can ignore the tragic situation of selling to a cheap brothel and letting the peddler's pawns ravage, but she can't watch Tian'er being sent to the tiger's wolf's den anyway.

Liu Xinru finally understood that these so-called well-dressed beasts in the upper class society were actually far more despicable, dirty, and ruthless than the old bustard. However, how can she, a weak woman who has fallen into prostitution, compete with a big man like Zhou An?

Two lines of clear tears fell, Liu Xinru bit her fragrant lip and glared at Zhou An, her voice hoarse and hateful: "Master Zhou, you are so unscrupulous to coerce a weak woman in the slave family, where is the reason?" ”

Zhou An sneered: "In Zhou's opinion, this is a way out for Miss Liu." In fact, as long as Miss Liu acts according to Zhou's wishes, not only will you not suffer a loss, but you can jump out of the fire pit and regain your freedom, so why not? ”

"Zhou's ransom has already been prepared, and next, it's up to Miss Liu herself. Keep in mind that Zhou's patience is limited, and you will be given another five days, if Zhou can't see the results by then, then you will not blame Zhou for turning his face and being ruthless! ”

Zhou An sneered arrogantly and gloomily and brushed his sleeves away.

In Zhou An's heart, controlling and threatening a prostitute like Liu Xinru as a pawn is actually just a gesture. The chess pieces are obedient, if they don't obey the orders, he has the means to make Liu Xinru and Tian'er miserable.

After Zhou An left, Liu Xinru burst into tears, sitting there, staring at the carved beams and painted pillars at the top, his face was like ashes. From sunrise to sunset, she sat in a daze, almost a silent sculpture.

Somehow, Tian'er tried to persuade her again and again to no avail, so she had to sit aside with a worried face, and occasionally touch a few handfuls of tears.

Long.

"Tian'er, pack up your things, let's leave the Rose Workshop." Liu Xinru's tired voice came into Tian'er's ears, and Tian'er was stunned: "Miss, let's go?" Where to go? ”

"The man has redeemed himself for us, but the contract of redemption is still in his hands. Let's go, Tian'er, no matter what happens in the future, we are no longer from the Rose Shop anyway. Liu Xinru sighed and propped herself up, but she stumbled, and her eyes were black for a while.

Tian'er was ecstatic, after all, it was self-evident what redemption meant to Liu Xinrulai, but seeing Liu Xinru so sad, she immediately realized that the head of the Zhou family had no good intentions at all, at least for now, leaving the Rose Fang was just jumping out of a small fire pit for the two girls, and they would jump into another big fire pit.

Liu Xinru and Tian'er quietly left the rose shop with two packages, and no one came to see them, the old bustard was irritable and did not want to see anyone, and the other sisters in the hospital were doubly jealous. Although Zhou An paid a lot of money, Lao Bustard was still a little reluctant. But Yixing Zhou's is not easy to mess with, and Zhou's has a lot of dealings with the magnates in the city, so the old bustard didn't dare to refuse, so he had to reluctantly agree.

And after crossing the bluestone bridge, no one paid attention to Liu Xinru and Tian'er anymore. took off the gorgeous brocade clothes of the past, took off the gorgeous colors, changed into the plain and elegant skirts of ordinary girls, covered with veils, and blended into the flow of women in the city in an instant, without stirring up a trace of waves.

Liu Xinru felt extremely heavy and sad. Although he left the prostitution gate in the city, he seems to have been freed, but the deadly contract is still in Zhou An's hands, what awaits him in the future? She knows it.

Zhou An is not afraid that the two girls will run away. Because the redemption contract is not in hand, the world is so big, and there is no place for the two daughters. Whether it is marriage or survival, they are inseparable from identity certificates, and without a contract, they will be regarded by the government as prostitutes and fugitive slaves.

The sun is setting in the west, there are few pedestrians on the main road in the city, and a high-headed white motor of a divine horse is coming, and immediately there is a young man who is high-spirited and heroic, and it is Kong Sheng, the young man of the Confucian family who is becoming more and more famous in the city.

What is remarkable is that Kong Sheng on the horse is actually carrying a sack of heavy objects, looking like that, it should not be less than more than 100 catties. But even so, Kong Sheng still looked calm, and the heavy object on his shoulders seemed to be as light as a feather, without a trace.

Passers-by couldn't help but gasp, and said in their hearts that this Kong family Xiaolang was really born with divine power and was unpredictable, carrying such a heavy object as if he were nothing, what was he doing? In fact, no one knows that Kong Sheng is not only carrying more than 100 catties of weights on his shoulders, but also tying up the special sandbags he spent money to sew on his waist and legs, and these weights all add up, at least 200 catties.

He started exercising with this simple method a few days ago. No one taught him the technique of lifting the body and lightening the body, although he admired Mu Changfeng's high-flying swordsman demeanor, but he also knew that it was difficult for him to do this. So he pondered using this stupid method to ride and exercise with weights every day, and if he took off these weights in the future, he must be as light as a swallow.

The Xiao sword on his waist was no longer there, and as early as the Yanyu Tower, he transferred this thing to Yang Xueruo as a token of love. Yang Xueruo gave him a jade pendant that he had worn close to his body for more than ten years. As a result, he has been wondering whether to consider finding a weapon to take advantage of in the past few days, thinking that it will be used for self-defense.
