Chapter 160: The Night Trial Sighs at Yan
This is the first fiasco in Lin Ergongzi's life, from full of fighting spirit to dying down, and finally directly admitting defeat and begging for mercy, it took him less than an hour.
Throwing pots, guessing coins, and sharing money, these can't be compared, even the rings and darts he came up with were easily won by others, how can this be compared to Lin Shaoxuan?
"Don't compare, I'll admit defeat, you can punish as much as you want at night, my brother is going to rest!" Lin Shaoxuan found a bamboo mat that no one sat on, and directly lay down on it and pretended to be a dead dog.
"Well, no comparison." Jiang Jinyu gently lifted her robe and knelt beside him, "You sing me a tune first." ”
"I'll only have those few songs back and forth, you must be tired of hearing them."
"I'm going to listen to that "Red Bean Song"." A slight smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Jinyu's mouth, "That's what you did for me." ”
Lin Shaoxuan was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to say that he had stolen it, so he had to hum it for him softly.
"Alas, it's so good, I never get tired of hearing it." Jiang Jinyu lightly pressed the beat, casually took the wine cup sent by the servant and handed it to Lin Shaoxuan's lips, "Come, drink some wine to moisten your throat." ”
"Yulang, are you happy today?" Lin Shaoxuan stood up, took one of his delicate and silky hands and stroked it gently.
Jiang Jinyu looked up, the garden was noisy, and the gentlemen were playing with the little girl and the flower girl, which he didn't want to see in the past, but today it made him feel very cordial, as if this was the real world.
"Well, happy. Thank you, brother. ”
The narrow phoenix eyes flowed with rippling water waves, and the smile on the lips seemed to be like a spring flower, and like a gentle summer moon, which made the face even more seductive and beautiful to the extreme. Lin Shaoxuan looked at his smile blankly, and only felt that he was satisfied with this moment in his life, to see his smile like this, to see his joy from the bottom of his heart, no matter how hard he suffered, he was so happy.
"Yulang, thank you, thank you for always being with me, otherwise I wouldn't know what I'm living for."
"Are we going to thank you like that? Let's go and see what they're playing! Jiang Jinyu seemed to feel when she saw him, but she didn't let him say more, so she picked him up and walked to a crowded place.
Lin Shaoxuan was pulled by him, feeling his excitement, and his mood suddenly soared. Great, my Yulang has finally come to the world from the sky, a fairy dyed with red dust, I see where you are still fleeing!
Today, this garden is simply all the famous gentlemen in Hangzhou, the two factions who used to look at each other unpleasantly, and are about to pinch each other when they meet, are now mixed together, everyone calls brothers and brothers to have a good time, and forgets all the original filth.
"Ouch, Second Brother Lin remembered us!" When Xiao Wang saw the two of them coming, he stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Shaoxuan over, "You are too unauthentic, and you want me to greet you as a guest, and you yourself quietly hide aside and be happy." ”
"Haha, I'm not here." Lin Shaoxuan let go of Jinyu's hand and hooked up with Xiao Wang.
"Brother Lin Xian, come here!" Kim Dae-jun, who was fighting with others, also shouted.
"It's coming, it's coming." Lin Shaoxuan responded while turning around and beckoning Jiang Jinyu, "Yulang, you find a place to sit and rest for a while, and I'll come to you later." ”
"Alright, let's go!" Xiao Wang pulled him hard, "Give us a little bit of your time." ”
Lin Shaoxuan saw that Jiang Jinyu had gone to a small pavilion to sit down and drink tea, so he smiled and followed Xiao Wang to the lively place. If he wants to gain a foothold in this new world, Hangzhou is his home base, and he has to manage his own network.
Everyone ates, drinks and merries until the middle of the moon, when the servants can't dance and sing for a long time, and the people are tired and yawning secretly, and these energetic fellows leave happily.
Lin Shaoxuan sent the last group of guests out of the door, and he was so tired that his bones hurt. It's really terrible, I won't get these guys together in the future, the task of these people is to play all day, I'm afraid it's okay to let them play all night, and I really can't afford to accompany my thin little body.
Lin Shaoxuan moved his sore arms and legs as he walked, and when he walked through the hall and entered the back house, he suddenly threw out a black ball on the road in front of him, and knelt in front of him with a plop.
Oops, who's wearing black in the middle of the night! Lin Shaoxuan was so frightened that he jumped back, and the servant behind him immediately raised the lantern and stepped forward.
"Master, the slave has been waiting for you for a long time."
Lin Shaoxuan patted his thumping little chest, and took a closer look at the light, why is this ghostly guy again?
"Chaoyan, I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what's the matter with the master?"
"Didn't the master tell me to come to you later?" Chao Yan raised her head, opened her big innocent eyes, and calmly looked at this unreliable master.
"Oh, is it? Did I say that? Lin Shaoxuan was actually not interested in Chaoyan's distress at all, he really wanted to throw this woman out immediately, as far as he could, but it was a girl, it was the middle of the night, so let's listen to what she said.
"Who, you go and light the lamp in the side room, and bring another cup of tea, and the master will sit for a while." Lin Shaoxuan stretched out his hand and pointed to an empty room, and the servant hurriedly held a lantern to illuminate it.
Lin Shaoxuan's old god was sitting on the ground, and when the servant poured the tea and retreated outside the door, he said to Chao Yan, who was standing next: "Okay, let's start." ”
Chao Yan could feel his rejection, but she was a little woman who sold herself to bury her father, and she was separated from the protection of the Lin Jiang brothers, where could she go? She didn't want to sympathize with her own life expo, but according to today's posture, it would definitely not work if she didn't say it.
She bit her lip and calmed down, and then she told her thoughts.
Chaoyan's original name was Yunxiang, and a family of four lived in Huzhou City. Her father, Yun Yu, is a well-known local master, who takes in three or five students and takes his younger brother Yun Cheng to study at home. Her mother was the head of the house, she embroidered brocade, and the family lived a peaceful and beautiful life.
Yun Xiang has grown to the age of sixteen, and she has been beautiful and generous, but it is rare that she is clever, and after exploring for many years, she has learned to design patterns and draw sketches by herself. The brocade she had woven by her hand was rich in color and brilliance, and there were often new patterns that no one else had ever seen, and many beautiful ladies and ladies sent silver early in order to order the brocade she had woven by hand.
Seeing that the family life is getting better and better, Yunxiang's father and mother often have smiles on their faces, so they want to save some dowry for their daughter to find a good family, but who knows that Yunxiang's skillful hands have caused a big disaster.
"I just thought about weaving the most beautiful cloud brocade and exchanging some silver for my younger brother to read, but I didn't expect that after the brocade was woven, it attracted not a colorful phoenix but a jackal." Chao Yan lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously twisted the handkerchief, and gradually sank into the memories of the past.
"Huang Silang, a big family in Huzhou, was full of praise when he saw my Yunjin, and gave fifty taels of silver on the spot, and the next day he sent someone to my house to propose marriage, and wanted to accept me as his twelfth concubine."
"That Huang Silang is in his fifties, he only likes my craft, and wants to buy me for him to weave brocade day and night to make money, but my father and mother naturally refuse to agree. Who knew that he had a crooked mind, and I almost ruined my family! ”
Chao Yan remembered that his father was beaten to death, his mother was so angry that she fell ill in bed, and the Huang family sent people to the door every day to force her, and all kinds of pain and sadness came to her heart, and tears fell in her eyes.
On that day, the old father refused to accept Huang Silang's dowry and drove the matchmaker out of the door, but the next day someone called the door and said that he had lost a treasure in his home. Those people were quite unreasonable, rummaging through the house, and if they couldn't find the so-called treasures, they had to pull themselves to pay off the debt, but they were desperately stopped by their father. But in order to protect himself, his father was beaten all over his body and was dying.
"My lord is the grandfather's cousin, let alone killing a person, even if you destroy your whole family, there is no! Little girl, you are waiting at home, tomorrow the sedan chair will come to carry you across the house to be an aunt to our master! Before leaving, those ruthless servants kicked Yun Yu, and they all ran away with the silver they had collected, put down the cruel words, and disappeared.
"Dad, how are you? I'm going to get a doctor! Yun Xiang cried and threw herself on her father, but her father grabbed her hand.
"Xiang'er, dad can't do it, listen to Dad, you go quickly, leave Huzhou quickly, you must not fall into their hands!" Yun Yu used all his strength to grab his daughter, and then turned his head to look for his son, "Cheng'er, tell Cheng'er to study hard and avenge her father when she grows up......."
Yun Yu let out all his breath, rolled his eyes and whimpered, leaving his wife and children to be miserable. Her mother couldn't stand the blow and couldn't afford to get sick, and the family's silver was robbed by the slaves, so Yunxiang had to be a hairpin to catch medicine for her mother, but she couldn't get the money to bury her father.
"Did those people go and rob you the next day?" The second son was embarrassed when he heard it, and when he saw her hanging her head and crying, he felt strange and uncomfortable in his heart. She is standing in front of her now, so naturally she has not been robbed, but why is she pretending to be like that and selling herself by the dock to bury her father?
"When they went, they came with a sedan chair and were about to rob people, but fortunately the neighbors stopped them. I stuck a pair of scissors in my throat, and I said, as long as you dare to come, I will die with my father, and they don't want to force me to die. ”
Chao Yan reached out and unbuttoned a button, revealing a snow-white neck, and there was indeed a red scar on it, which was very conspicuous against the background of snow-white skin. Although the wound had healed, the rolled flesh revealed the tragedy of the time.
"They forcibly snatched and killed people like this, why didn't you sue the official?" Lin Shaoxuan frowned, imagining the scene at that time, he felt very unbearable, and the little rejection of Chaoyan disappeared.
"Sue the officer? The gate of the yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money. The county master and the Huang family were angry in one nostril, and the end of me going to sue the official was either beaten or sent directly to his house as a concubine, I am a weak woman, I have to deal with my father's funeral, take care of my sick mother, and raise my younger brother, how dare I sue the official? ”
"Well, so you made yourself look like that and went to the docks to sell yourself to bury your father?" Lin Shaoxuan thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but admire Chao Yan.
The wharf was full of merchants coming and going, and it was indeed a good idea for her to take the silver home, not only to deal with the family affairs, but also to escape from Huzhou with the master's boat by the way. It's a pity that her asking price is too high and no one has been willing to buy it, but later she met such a white and silver lord who doesn't want people, so there is a dead beggar who follows the boat.
Lin Shaoxuan thought about it again and felt that it was wrong, but he still had to ask clearly, "Since you have left Huzhou, is it not good to be your embroidery girl in Baoxiangzhai?" Why are you here with us? ”
Hearing this, Chao Yan knelt down again: "Master, I implore the master to show mercy and save the lives of my family!" ”
