Chapter II. Hit a rake
When Li Ling woke up, what he saw when he opened his eyes was a delicate face, not fat or thin, thin red lips, round face, big black eyes, coupled with a high forehead and prominent jaws, he looked like a wise man.
What's even more unexpected is that he actually hugged the woman's waist with both hands, looking ambiguous.
After the brain pain, what happened last night came one after another, since Li San had been taken away by the master and servant, who is this woman now?
"I'm Linglong!". The woman said faintly, explaining everything to Li Ling.
Li Ming's uncle paid a ransom to Zuihualou, according to reason, he was already a member of the Li family, and when Li Ling's master and servant came over, she already understood her fate.
Although her little maid toasted herself frequently, she actually only drank two or three glasses, and all the rest was poured into her long sleeves, and she fainted on the table under the pretense of drunkenness. wanted to escape Li Ling with this.
It's just that the big girl in charge of the kitchen covets these delicacies made by herself when she comes to add food to her, and she can't bear to waste these meals in vain, so she eats them at the table while no one is around.
I didn't want to be full of wine and food, but a sleepiness hit my heart, and the fat girl was busy all day, so she thought about waiting for herself to wake up and then clean up these scraps, so she blew out the candle and slept on the table.
It was already the middle of the night when Li San started, and in order not to let people find out, he didn't even dare to light a candle and hurriedly caught the sleeping "Linglong" lying on the table with a sack!
I thought that I would catch two more beauties after leaving the Li family, and I would find a place to enjoy the blessings of Qi people in the future, but I didn't expect that all I got was two maids who served people.
The real Linglong was also awakened by the movement of Li San and the maid, she originally thought that her maid was bought by Li Ling, so she kept toasting her, but she didn't expect that there was a bigger crisis waiting for her.
Linglong, who was taken aback, paid attention in an instant, and she took advantage of the unpreparedness of the two people in the room to quietly hide in Li Ling's room and get into his bed.
I thought he was going to sleep on the table all night, but who knew that he also found out about the good things that Li San and the little maid had done and let the two of them go.
Thinking of the thrilling scene last night, she looked at Li Ling beside her again, and her face became even more ruddy.
"If you don't want to go to Li's house, you can leave with your deed of sale later!" Although Linglong was sweet-looking, she was still a child after all, and besides, he was only fifteen years old, so there was really no way to think about her.
Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention that it's not his money, so it's a big deal to think of it as a boundless dream.
Linglong shook her head and rejected his kindness, and her big eyes suddenly appeared foggy. seemed to be begging Li Ling to take her away from the land of fireworks.
In a moment, he understood the other party's thoughts.
All Qingqi'er are cultivated from an early age, in other words, these hard-working women have been sold into the land of fireworks since they were young.
Linglong is the same, she lost the love of her parents since she was a child, was sold to the drunken flower building, has never been in contact with the outside society, does not know any livelihood skills, such a weak woman if Li opened the drunken flower building and the Li family did not accept her, it is undoubtedly put her in a desperate situation, no wonder she will show a pitiful appearance.
After Li San and the maid conspired to hold him hostage, Linglong not only became afraid of the people outside, but also saw the true faces of several people clearly.
This talented son of the Li family is not a hateful figure, not only did he not rush to attack him, but also let go of Li Sansan, and now she knows that a flower-like Qingqier is just a dispensable existence in his eyes.
Unconsciously, Li Ling had nothing to fear in her heart, and she even had a trace of dependence.
"Since you want to follow me back to the Li family, then don't say anything next, I'll do everything!" Li Ling thought for a while and then said solemnly.
Linglong blinked her big beautiful eyes, she really didn't understand what the other party meant.
"Ahh Li Ling suddenly jumped out of bed with a scream, and then tidied up his messy clothes, waiting for the arrival of the people from the Drunken Flower Building.
Linglong also began to do her duty, she carefully got out of bed, and wanted to go over to tidy up Li Ling's clothes, but the other party never had the intention of calling herself, so she could only tidy up her appearance by herself, and then tidy up the quilt on the bed.
The scale of the painting boat in the drunken flower building is not small, Li Ling soon heard a messy footsteps, and the first to enter was Wang's mother who was in charge of the painting boat, and there were many strong men standing outside the door.
"Little Master Li, what happened, was the little lady not good enough to serve last night?" Mother Wang said with a smile and kept looking at Li Ling's face.
Mother Wang carefully accompanied the smiling face, but she was not very afraid in her heart, with the sign of Zuihualou, no matter what happened, her owner would fight for herself.
The other party wants to ransom people, and Zuihualou naturally wants to inquire, although the Li family is a few salt merchants in the county, but now it is not as brilliant as before, if their Li family still has something to take care of, it is Li Ling's identity as a showman.
"No, my wallet is lost, my wallet is lost in your boat!" Li Ling said in a hesitant manner, and told Wang's mother the whole story.
Mother Wang suddenly heard about this ridiculous thing, her face became extremely exciting, if it weren't for the other party's serious look, and Linglong nodded frequently on the side, she thought she was joking with herself.
"You". Mother Wang was speechless for a while, and her eyes kept wandering on the faces of the two in a hurry, she wanted to know if this matter was specially arranged by the Li family, and whether she wanted to call those strong men outside the door to beat each other.
She quickly denied her idea, and it was obvious that the Li family would not do such an unpopular thing
It is already a kind of forbearance to let a promising talent come to pick up people, and how can he let his own Xiaolang do such an unbearable thing.
Once the drunken Hualou or the government finds Li San and the others, won't everything be revealed?
Mother Wang is in a dilemma, she naturally knows that Li Ling is actually innocent, or he is also one of the victims, if she lets the other party go like this, she is unwilling, if people know that the people of Zuihualou have suffered losses and do not punish them, then where will their faces go?
Linglong looked at her with a frosty look and knew that she was already quite angry in her heart, and couldn't help but glance at the other party, her whole body trembled, she had stayed in Zuihualou since she was a child, and naturally knew that such a situation meant that she would be beaten and bullied at will, and she even knew that several sisters had evaporated in the world because they annoyed the mother in charge.
Thinking of these serious consequences, Linglong's body softened, and she actually fell in the direction of Li Ling.
"Linglong!".
Li Ling hugged the other party and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect the memory left by Zuihualou to be so profound.
The rapid breathing of those strong men outside the door also gave him a blow to the head, if this matter is not solved today, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky if I want to retreat!
These people are some cold-blooded accomplices, they only know to obey the orders of their masters, they don't care whether you are famous or not, whether you are a talent or not.
Today he was beaten here, but I am afraid that his future will be over, and it will be spread out in the future, and the face of the scholar will be gone. Those high-ranking grandmasters are not allowed to allow a boy who sweeps the floor to participate in the township exam.
"Mother Wang, the matter has happened, we should find a way to remedy it, if we can't argue here, I'm afraid that the name of the painting boat is not good!"
Mother Wang's face was cold, she was also a human spirit, so she naturally heard the meaning of the other party's words, although she was talking about this painting boat, but in fact, she was alluding to the entire Zuihualou.
The guests lost their money on their painting boat, and even the slaves ran away with two maids, such a thing spread, after all, it is still not good, can everyone still come to the drunken flower building to play happily in the future?
Mother Wang casually glanced at Linglong's body a few times and made a decision, Linglong's girl's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all the best choices, but there is one bad thing, that is, she has a pair of heavenly feet, otherwise she would not have sold it for only five hundred taels of silver.
When Linglong first arrived at the drunken flower building, the face of the person was yellow and hungry and thin, she was originally raised as a rough maid, where did she know that the eighteenth change of the female university, after a few years, she has become a slim look, and the mothers hurriedly invited the teacher to train her, but she missed the opportunity to bind her feet, and she couldn't remedy it.
Li Ling is afraid that things will make a big fuss, in fact, she can't do it, there is no such shop in this village, once she falls out with the Li family, she doesn't say what is right and wrong, where are they going to find a fool who is willing to pay five hundred taels of silver. It's just that she suffers a dumb loss like this, and she is also very unwilling.
Seeing that Wang's mother showed signs of vacillation, Li Ling was not only a little embarrassed, at the beginning, Li Ming and others deliberately chose a woman with big feet just to humiliate themselves and make him unable to raise his head in front of the scholars, but they didn't expect that now they would indirectly help him. "Mom, there are still 100 taels of broken silver in my treasure chest, all of which I usually have saved, so let's keep them as compensation!" Linglong didn't know where the strength came from, she broke free from Li Ling's embrace and said in a low but resolute voice.
In her dreams, she begged God countless times, and finally had a chance to get out of the Drunken Flower Building, she didn't want to give up! Freedom is very precious to her.
The most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, you must know that Linglong before was only able to appear as a servant, how difficult it is to accumulate so much silver, this is all her savings!
"You kid, forget it, I'll be the master today and let you go." Mom shook her head, Xiao is her iron-hearted, and she was also influenced by Linglong's determination.
The hall resounded with the sound of elk music, and several young men dressed as Confucian scholars were having fun there.
Linglong only glanced at those scholars and trembled in fright, she could clearly see that her sister sitting in the center was being put up and down by the scholar next to her, her clothes were disheveled, and a clear line of gums was showing side by side on her shoulders.
"Devils, all devils!". Linglong shouted loudly in her heart, and secretly pulled Li Ling's hand, signaling him to leave this demon cave quickly.
"Brother Li, please stay!". An unpleasant voice came from behind him.
