Chapter 41: The Covenant of the Rainy House (1)
Liu Xinru was crying and weeping, she was so embarrassed that she almost fainted on the spot.
Her real name is Liu Feiyan, from the family of merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, since she was a child, she lived a prosperous and peaceful life, but unexpectedly, disaster fell from the sky, her father, who ran the silk business, offended the gentry of the county, and under the collusion of the gentry, Liu's father was tortured to death after being imprisoned, and Liu's mother suffered the painful blow of destroying the family and committing suicide.
Liu Feiyan, who was only 6 years old, was sold into prostitution by the gentry and changed her name to Liu Xinru, and ten years passed in a flash, and she finally became a famous prostitute in Jiangnan.
However, famous prostitutes are still prostitutes, and the so-called selling of their art is nothing more than a pretense for the spiritual victory method, or it is just a gimmick for the brothel to be sold at a price. If you don't redeem yourself from the conscience, over time, Liu Xinru will eventually be reduced to the appearance of other sisters, picking up customers every day and laughing, earning endless gold and silver for **, and once the person is old, he will be expelled from the door and end up depressed.
The miserable fate and the even more miserable future that can be perceived are like a mountain weighing down the arrogant willow heart like a day, even if there is a glimmer of hope today, but after all, it will still turn into a mirror whose heart is higher than the sky and whose fate is thinner than paper.
With all the past events, all the fears of the future, all the unfortunate depressions, the last strong heartstring in the bottom of this sixteen-year-old girl's heart was broken by force, and she was disheartened and could no longer hold on, and she could no longer hold on.
"Miss, don't cry, Tian'er knows Miss's suffering, Miss......" The maid Tian'er wanted to comfort her, but she felt self-pity and pity, and couldn't help but hug Liu Xinru and sob.
The hard-working sisters hugged each other and cried, holding hands and facing tears, but they could only lower their voices and did not dare to let outsiders know. If you let ** know, Tian'er will inevitably be punished with a beating.
"Miss, the slave will go to Kong Sheng, no matter what, the slave must let Kong Sheng agree to marry Miss. Miss is as beautiful as a flower, she has learned from others, and she is willing to marry him, that is the blessing he cultivated in his previous life, what is he not satisfied with? Tian'er wiped a handful of tears and said loudly: "That guy used to be obsessed with begging for pleasure every day, could it be all fake?" Can he still see the young lady being bullied? ”
Liu Xinru sighed lightly, but slowly stopped her choked voice: "Tian'er, how the Confucian family's Xiaolangjun was in the past, and how he became like this today, I actually can't figure it out." In fact, even if he coveted my beauty, he would never marry me...... Don't blame anything, if you want to blame, blame my life. ”
"You don't understand, Tian'er. Whether it is a prodigal son in the past or a talented man in Jiangnan today, he has always been a famous family, although his family is ruined, but he will not marry a singer with a low status like me. As for the master of the Zhou family, he had no good intentions, but he just wanted to use the slave family to calculate Kong Sheng, but now that he couldn't make a calculation, he showed a vicious and hideous face to me, and tried his best to threaten and persecute him. ”
"Hey......" Liu Xinru gently stroked Tian'er's pale little face, and said softly: "Tian'er, my sister will accept her fate, but you are still young, in a few days, I will look for the bustard mother, and exchange the money I have accumulated over the years for your freedom, hurry up and leave this place of filth and filth, and find a lover to marry." As long as you can live well and live well, my sister will have no regrets in her heart. ”
Tian'er burst into tears: "Miss, Tian'er will never leave you!" Slaves will not leave you! ”
Smoke and rain building.
The Yanyu Building here is not the same as the Yanyu Building, a famous spot in the south of the Yangtze River, but the largest high-end entertainment place in Jiangning County, which integrates tea houses and wine shops. The building is two stories high, not very high, but the heavy eaves and paintings, the Zhu Zhu Ming Window, rise in the surrounding rows of low shops, the taste of standing out from the crowd is majestic.
But standing on the corridor on the east side of the Yanyu Tower, you can overlook the magnificent city gate and the mighty Longteng Zhongshan Mountain Range outside the city, a big river passes around the city, the waves are endless, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Because of the arrival of the eldest lady of the Yang Mansion, Meng Chong, the owner of Yanyu Building, was naturally interested, and quietly arranged for the guys to empty the private room on the east side of the second floor.
Cotton Tree threw a warning glance at Kong Sheng, motioning for him to go over on his own. Kong Sheng smiled indifferently and floated away.
"You're here." Yang Xueruo turned around and smiled, the smile that bloomed was so pure, it made Kong Sheng's heart throb. He arched his hand: "I've seen Miss Yang." ”
Yang Xueruo smiled gently, and said politely: "Xueruo has seen it...... Pimp! ”
Kong Sheng walked over, and the two stood side by side in a person's position, both staring into the distance, but the atmosphere was a little awkward and dull.
In the end, it was the girl who took the initiative to break the embarrassment and said softly: "Slave and Hongmian went to the inn, I heard that you went to the Rose Workshop......"
The girl's soft voice was full of a little inquiry and temptation, Kong Sheng smiled and did not deny it: "That's right, Liu Xinru, the singer of the Rose Workshop, invited me to the banquet, but I couldn't refuse, so I went." ”
"Oh? The name of Liu Xinru has also been heard of by the slave family. It is said that she is both talented and beautiful, knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has excellent dancing skills, and is the most popular famous prostitute in Jiangnan. Yang Xueruo smiled and turned her head to look at Kong Sheng.
The corners of Kong Sheng's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, Why have you heard of Liu Xinru's name? You have invited Liu Xinru to dance at the Wangjianglou Poetry Club twice, so why pretend not to know today? He understood that no matter how he received such words, he would fall into the girl's calculations, so he simply smiled and continued to wait for her next step.
"The slave family also heard that when you used to go to the Rose Square every day, you smiled for the Pomeranians; Today, Liu Xinru is invited to a banquet, I think you got what you wanted, right? If so, the slave family will congratulate Lang Jun! An elusive smile appeared on Yang Xueruo's beautiful face, and she said these words in a half-serious and half-joking tone, seemingly relaxed, but her heart was extremely nervous, staring at Kong Sheng's face without blinking.
It seems that asking herself face-to-face if she likes Liu Xinru does not have a substantial relationship with Liu Xinru, this is the real purpose of Yang Xueruo going around in a circle. Kong Sheng didn't hesitate at all, and said indifferently: "In ancient times, King Zhou You smiled for the Pomeranians, and did not hesitate to play the princes with fire; Today, the emperor smiled for Concubine Bo, and rode thousands of horses from Lingnan to send lychees. But how can Kong Sheng be virtuous, and what qualifications can he have to be a Pomeranian? ”
Kong Sheng did not answer Yang Xueruo's words directly, but also responded in a circle, his words speciously avoided the past and faced the present.
"As for Miss Liu's banquet, it was originally to thank you for the tea party that day, but in fact, Kong didn't do anything, but he deserved it."
Yang Xueruo's eyes are neutral, and the time is shining. What a smart woman she is, she got the answer she wanted from Kong Sheng's mouth, and the joy in her heart, the relief of nervousness and worry, it really can't be described in words.
