The eighteen views of the capital are charming and colorful, and they are full of the heroic atmosphere of the northern country. When summer comes, red men and green women travel between the mountains and lakes, which makes the already interesting scenery more vivid.

As the capital of the Chinese Empire, the grandeur of the capital is naturally unparalleled.

In addition to the mansions in the Forbidden City and the inner city, in addition to the most prosperous Shenwu Street, there are the eight alleys with flowers and branches.

And the latter is obviously far more than the former in the bustling and lively Cheng dù.

In the twelfth year of Shenwu, the *** of the capital has completed a strict division. East Street is the art pavilion for Chinese women, and West Street is the green house for vassal countries, colonies, and foreign women.

Since the empire began to rob and abduct slave girls around the world, as the capital, the eight hutongs have been bustling, gathering beautiful women from all over the world to compete on the same stage.

At the beginning of summer every year, the major green houses will appear in the world's top 100 beauties, and then conduct a public auction of the first night rights, which provokes men from all over the empire to come to watch the excitement with huge bills.

However, Yige's competitive beauty pageant is not far behind. The elegant wind of the empire is still far pressed to the ** cross-flowing Qinglou. At the end of each summer, Yige will hold an annual artist selection and evaluation competition, and while Chinese women show off their beauty, they also press their talents to a certain level, which also makes men from all over the empire fall in love with it.

The Eight Uniques of the Capital were still retained, and as the highest competition standard of the Empire, the prestige of the Eight Uniques of the Capital soon surpassed that of the Eight Uniques of Qin and Huai in the south.

But among this year's Qinhuai Eight Uniques, the most eye-catching is a woman from the south, named Xing Yuan, who won the Eight Uniques of the capital, who is not only extremely talented, but also beautiful like a fairy.

At this moment, Xing Yuan was standing on the flower pavilion, quietly looking at the various sons and buddies queuing downstairs, his eyes were cold, and his thoughts seemed to fly to the past.

When the sunset is full of red, under the green willows on the white embankment, several men and women are getting up and stretching their waists, it is the end of the lake, ready to leave, a little girl ring bows down to sort out the tea set and wine utensils.

In the summer, although the sky is late and there is a gentle breeze by the lake, it is still a little hot, the little girl is packing up her things, and there are a few beads of sweat hanging down her temples, and she can't help but wipe the sweat on the back of her hand and exhale.

There were three men and one woman next to him, talking and laughing to themselves, and another girl was holding a handkerchief, wiping the sweat of one of the middle-aged bachelors, but it was not because it was hot, but because he had just drunk wine and was sweating. A ** next to him said: "Yuanyuan, move quickly, it's getting dark." ”

The little girl who cleaned up the mess replied softly, "Yes, ma'am." "I picked up my hands quickly, and hurriedly wrapped all kinds of utensils.

The bachelor's eyes were drunk and hazy, and he smiled: "Okay, okay, I'm having fun today, I don't have to come for three days." A Confucian student next to him smiled and said: "Brother Chen is having fun, our brothers are still a little unsatisfied." Brother Chen, this delicate little girl in your family, we never get tired of looking at it, if you don't swim in the lake tomorrow, can we borrow it from you to accompany the wine? ”

The bachelor surnamed Chen smiled hehehe, but did not say anything. Mrs. Chen, who was wiping his sweat next to him, smiled, glanced at Yuanyuan next to her, her eyes flashed, and then said coquettishly: "Master Wang loves to laugh the most, Yuanyuan is the meat of the master's heart, how can you be willing to let her serve others?" ”

The round face was red, and she said in a low voice: "Madam, you are making fun of me again" At a glance, she saw that Master Chen was looking at him with a smile, and she was even more flustered, and quickly lowered her head.

This little girl is round, eighteen years old, the original surname is Xing, the name is Shufen, this is a Suzhou family, but also an official eunuch lady, ten years ago, because her parents were beheaded in a lawsuit, from then on the family road, wandered to Hangzhou, was taken in by Chen Dayuan, became a girl, changed her name to Yuanyuan.

The bachelor is the head of the family, Chen Dayuan, and the ** next to him is Mrs. Chen, and there is a girl ring called Cuixiang, which is better than Yuanyuan. The Chen family is wealthy, Yuanyuan serves the old man and wife wholeheartedly, and his life is stable. Although she has a quiet personality and is not as clever and likable as Cuixiang, Yuanyuan is beautiful, Chen Dayuan takes care of her quite well, and never makes her work too tiring.

However, Chen Dayuan's lust aroused Mrs. Chen's jealousy and hatred, and she secretly dealt with and punished Yuanyuan.

I went out to visit the West Lake today with Chen Dayuan's friend Wang Juren. Later, the prince left the table, Chen Dayuan was drunk, laughing arbitrarily, and the public became unruly, up and down his hands, and touched it happily. Yuanyuan is still an untrained girl, and in her eyes, although her face is red, she can't do anything, she can only wait silently.

At this time, the banquet was over, and everyone embarked on the way home and returned home together.

Back at the Song Mansion, Ping'er and Cuixiang helped the drunk Chen Dayuan back to the room. Chen Dayuan shook his head, sat down on the edge of the bed supported by the two daughters, suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand to hug Yuanyuan, but was tripped by Mrs. Chen and failed.

Yuanyuan's body trembled, and he was so frightened that he quickly pushed him away and stood up with a red face. Cui Xiang hurriedly played a round and said with a smile: "Madam, look at it, the master is really drunk."

Mrs. Chen frowned secretly, glared at Chen Yuanyuan viciously, waved her hand, and said, "You guys go down, just have me here." ”

The two little girls quit. Yuan Yuan patted his chest, exhaled, and said, "I'm scared to death, when the master gets drunk, it's different from usual." ”

Cui Xiang smiled coquettishly: "Yo, are you still shy, haven't you ever touched a man here?" As he spoke, he quickly touched her **.

Yuanyuan's shoulders jumped, his hands hurriedly blocked his chest, stared at Cuixiang, and said a little unhappily: "Cuixiang, I want to be angry if you touch it like this." Cui Xiang smiled: "Okay, good, if you are really a daughter, I don't dare to touch you."

continued: "However, the master has been staring at you lately, if it weren't for Madame, I'm afraid you would have eaten him a long time ago."

Yuanyuan was silent, just smiled helplessly, and returned to the room where the maids lived with Cuixiang.

She sat in front of an old bronze mirror, sighed secretly, and said in her heart: "If my father and mother are still here, how can I be such a little girl?" ”

Looking in the mirror, I saw a sweet and delicate face, although the outline was a little blurred, but it did not reduce the pretty posture. Although his body is thin and somewhat malnourished, he looks in the mirror and reflects a slender figure, but his chest is very plump, which is better than that of girls of the same age. Looking down, a pair of hands are also soft and white, and the ten fingers are delicate. Although he was embarrassed to praise him, when a man saw such a lovely girl, he would never hesitate to praise him if he had the opportunity.

She looked at herself a little happily, shrugged her shoulders in the mirror, and said secretly, "Alas, that's it, that's it, it's always my destiny." If it weren't for the emperor's mediocrity, my father wouldn't be tired of sin, damn the emperor."

Cuixiang said: "Our generation is really sad, if we were born a few years later, after the implementation of the new law, we would not be sold as maids." ”

They were all sold as servants before the Chinese Empire completely banned the sale of Han Chinese people, so when the new laws of the empire were enacted, they were treated better, but they were still not free.

The door panel suddenly opened, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl walked into the room and said with a smile: "Cuixiang, Yuanyuan, are you back?" Come on, I just made a snack and left some for you, do you want any? ”

Yuan Yuan turned around, smiled all over his face, and said, "Sister Chun, are you hiding snacks again?" Be careful of being scolded by your wife."

This girl is also the maid ring of the Chen family, called Xiaochun, who is older than the other maid rings, and is loved by Mrs. Chen, and the servants and maids call her Sister Chun. Sister Chun is beautiful and kind, and she is very popular with a group of servants, and for Yuanyuan, she is the best friend of the Chen family, talking and laughing, and it couldn't be more harmonious.

The three girls divided the pastries and talked and laughed casually. Sister Chun said: "Yuanyuan, what were you doing in the mirror just now?" Look at your body swinging around, what's wrong? ”

Yuanyuan's face turned red, and he lowered his head and smiled: "No." ”

Cuixiang smiled: "Sister Chun, you don't know, just now the master was going to eat round tofu while he was drunk, but he was stirred up by his wife."

Sister Chun was stunned for a moment, but smiled bitterly.

"Yuanyuan is naturally beautiful, the lord must beat her idea, but Mrs. will definitely not allow it, in the long run, it is estimated that Mrs. will sell Yuanyuan soon"

As soon as he said this, Yuan Yuan couldn't help but fall silent. V
