However, when the Houshu Imperial City was breached, Shen Yun fled to the palace gate with the crowd, but was stopped by a team of puppet dynasty soldiers and locked up in the palace.

Although she cried so much that her face was puffy, and she had not been groomed for several days, and her hair was unkempt. But it was still classified as "slightly beautiful", so it was thrown directly into the teaching department, at that time, Xiang Yan's grandmother pinched her chin and sighed: "Good girl, it is said that this Shu beauty is like this just dug out of the ash heap, and it looks still watery and cowardly." After speaking, he asked her what her name was and how old she was, Shen Yun couldn't help but feel sorry after this change, and only replied in a daze: "Shen Yun, thirteen."

The sister-in-law casually wrote it down in the booklet: Shen Yun, thirteen years old. He also ordered someone to take her down to freshen up, and when she was cleaned, she looked at it as if she had found a treasure, and when she took her to Du Yue'er, the lady of the Oiran, and let her train well.

At that time, Du Yue'er looked at Shen Yun, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "What's it called." ”

After Shen Yun freshened up, she was a little sober, and after thinking about it, she said to her: "Please give the lady a name." ”

Du Yue'er was stunned when she heard this, and then thought that she was a person from the Houshu Palace, and it was not a strange thing to know the rules so well, she looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and said casually: "Then call it Xue'er." ”

Shen Yun didn't say anything, just kowtowed to her again.

That Du Yue'er saw that she was well-behaved, thought about it, and asked her again: "Can you play the pipa?" ”

Shen Yun shook his head honestly.

She asked, "Do you know how to dance?" ”

Shen Yun shook his head again.

She couldn't help but sigh, "What about singing tunes?" Will it? ”

Shen Yun still shook his head.

When Du Yue'er saw it, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. The sister-in-law on the side saw it and sneered: "Oh, I said Yue'er, if she knows anything, she will let you train something." As he spoke, he opened the booklet and circled the word "Shen Yun" in vermilion ink on it, and added a "Xue'er" under it.

Yue'er listened to her words and thought the same. Then he said to Shen Yun: "Listen to your soft voice, singing the song must not be successful, don't waste effort on this, from tomorrow, come to me in the morning to learn pipa for an hour, and the rest of the time, follow other girls to the practice room to practice dance." ”

On the second day, Shen Yun waited outside the door of Du Yue'er's room early, waited for a long time, heard her cough a few times inside, then knocked on the door and went in, as the little maid in the family served herself, first served her after grooming, and ate the morning food, before silently holding the pipa in front of her and asking her to teach.

Then Du Yue'er said: "Do you know why it's called pipa?" ”

Shen Yun thought for a while and replied: "Before pushing the hand, it is said to be criticized, but the lead is said to be a handle, like its drum, because it is famous." ”

Du Yue'er raised her eyebrows, "Have you ever read?" ”

Shen Yun replied honestly: "I have read it." ”

Du Yue'er continued to ask, "Then what books have you read?" ”

Shen Yun said in his heart, I don't remember so much, so he replied: "I just read a few books randomly." ”

Du Yue'er said "oh" disapprovingly, then cleared her throat again, and began to teach her the pipa technique seriously, and after she finished talking a few basic fingerings, she handed her the pipa and said: "Okay, say too much at once, I'm afraid you can't remember it, try it first." ”

Shen Yun took it, but didn't play it immediately, but asked her, "How is the pipa tuned?" ”

Du Yue'er was stunned for a moment before she said, "You turn the horizontal axis above." ”

Shen Yun tried to turn the shaft a few times, and gently plucked the strings a few times, repeating this several times before saying: "It's okay now, Fang Cai's voice is a little inaccurate." ”

Du Yue'er's eyes widened and said, "Aren't you not?" ”

Shen Yun smiled faintly, "I can only play the piano, not the pipa." ”

Du Yue'er let out an "oh", and then said, "Then you... Try? ”

Shen Yun thought about it, so she imitated Du Yue'er's appearance, and played the song she just played again, although there was a slight lag in the middle and there was a wrong note, but it was basically a tune, Du Yue'er tilted her head to look at her for a long time, sighed, and told her the rest of the fingering and precautions, and then in less than an hour, Shen Yun was able to play the song completely. Du Yue'er thought for a while, and said to the previous envoy girl: "Go and tell Xiang Yan's sister-in-law that you can buy a pipa for our little lady Xue'er." ”

As he spoke, he asked her to play a few more times, corrected some of her mistakes, and waved her hand to let her practice.

Shen Yun breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was not difficult.

But when she arrived at the practice room, she was immediately forced by her sister-in-law to doubt her life.

At the end, the teacher Xi Yan's sister-in-law smoked her with a thin bamboo strip, and scolded and scolded: "I've never seen you like this, could it be that she used to be a daughter and didn't even have to work?" The flesh is so loose, the tendons are so hard, and there is no strength at all. ”

When the day was over, when she returned to the dormitory, she didn't even have the strength to cry, so she fell asleep.

The next day, Shen Yun still came to the door of Du Yue'er's room early, waited for a long time, and a man with a hippie smiling face came out, she couldn't help but be stunned, but she quickly understood what was going on, so when the man walked away, she went in, and saw Du Yue'er half naked, sitting on the couch in a daze with a bed of brocade, and hurriedly took a piece of clothing for her to put on, and silently went to fetch hot water to serve her to wash. When she finished eating, she consciously took the pipa and humbly asked for advice. At that time, Du Yue'er saw the bruises on her arms that were pulled out by the bamboo strips, sighed and said quietly: "If you want not to be beaten, you have to work harder, so that they have no reason to beat you." As he spoke, he took out a box of ointment from her makeup, unbuttoned her shirt, and carefully smeared it on her.

Shen Yun wanted to cry, but her eyes were sour, and there were no tears, so she thought that the tears in her life were probably all shed when her father and brother died.

Within a few days, she was given a new pair of lute, and for a long time after that, her life remained unchanged, except for the rapid development of her pipa skills and the slow progress of her dancing skills.

Until one day, Du Yue'er suddenly said to her: "Your pipa has been learned, remember to practice for an hour every day, as for dancing, I asked to teach Xi Yan, the basic skills are still a little worse, but you can learn simple dance music, from tomorrow, the time to learn pipa in the morning, it will be changed to learn dance music, and I will still go to the practice room to practice in the afternoon." ”

So the focus of Shen Yun's life is all used to practice dance, she is already smart and educated, and her understanding of dance music often amazes Du Yueer.

At that time, she was in her early fifteens, and one day, Xiang Yanyan suddenly took a silver grate and made her green silk into a bun, and she knew that this day was still coming.

When the lantern was turned on, the guests in the workshop were filled one after another, and they knew that there would be a Qingqi person named Xue'er who was officially listed to entertain guests today, so they were very curious to see if this Xue'er had the qualifications to be a "Qingqi person".

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiang asked a little maid to go to Shen Yun's room to urge the scene.

At that time, Du Yue'er was carefully rubbing Shen Yun's rouge, but seeing her lonely expression, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "You don't want to look like this, those men outside don't like it." They come to this kind of place just to have fun, and they only see women laughing, are you crying and mourning like this, are you waiting to go out and be beaten? ”

When Shen Yun heard this, he looked up at himself in the mirror, and suddenly felt that it was just a strange woman wearing heavy makeup, and he tried his best to make her smile, but she still looked bitter.

Seeing her like this, Du Yue'er had no choice but to say it harshly: "Besides, do you think that just being beaten is over?" If you don't show your housekeeping skills today, suppress those men outside, and make them willing to bow down under your pomegranate skirt and let you handle it, then you can only become an ordinary prostitute, relying on others to practice, and there will be no day when you will never turn over, and there will be no dignity to talk about. How you want to do it, you choose. ”

When Shen Yun heard this, her body suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and Du Yue'er grabbed her shoulders and slowed down her tone, "Xue'er, we are all people who have been tricked by fate, if you want not to go to hell, you can only do your best, you have to think about it, you are actually quite good, smart enough, good enough, compared with those who struggle and can only be trampled on, you are really too lucky, now I just want you to smile, is it so difficult?" ”

Indeed, in the past, she was pampered and cherished by her family, where did she know the hardships of the common people, but over the years, she has seen all the hardships in the world, compared to those who were really trampled on the bottom and suffered, she was indeed doing well.

Thinking of this, a light smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, but many tears also rolled down her eyes.

When Du Yue'er saw it, she silently wiped away her tears with the red silk in her hand, Shen Yun held back her tears, pouted with a light smile, staggered to her feet, stabilized her mind, followed the little girl, and slowly walked towards the field.

As soon as she appeared, she had already captured everyone's eyes, and then, let them appreciate what it means to "Qu Ba Zeng taught good talents", and finally, the "gorgeous clothes" danced, stunning the four.

According to the usual practice, this is the night when she sells the melon at the price, but before everyone can start bidding, an exclamation came from outside, "Oh no, the army of Zhaoguo has entered Hangu Pass." As soon as everyone heard this, they scattered, and Shen Yun sat in the middle of the field, looking at the scattering of a place, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.

For a long time after that, the entire Kyoto army was in chaos, but fortunately, the commander of the Zhao Kingdom, that is, their crown prince, had already made an agreement with his subordinates for three chapters, and after entering the city, he would not commit adultery, plunder, or harm the people.

For the people, this is naturally a great luck, but the Teaching Workshop Division has naturally become a place for them to vent their justifiable words, so no matter how chaotic the outside is, the Teaching Workshop Division, is still drunk and gold-obsessed, and there is an endless stream of sergeants coming and going every day, and the days of those inferior prostitutes are simply worse than death, and Shen Yun and these Qingqi people are also frightened, but fortunately they are still obedient to the rules, and they know what it means to have a venerable person, and the one with the highest price has it, so, Shen Yun finally couldn't escape his fate after watching Du Yue'er and several other glamorous dancing girls being hugged into the room by various high-ranking officers.

That night, she felt that her soul and body had been torn to pieces, and she couldn't get it back.

By the next day, when Xiang Yan's grandmother brought her a bowl of swarthy Shunzi soup, she was still sitting on the couch.

Seeing it, Xiang Yan's grandmother sighed and said, "Drink it quickly, it's also for your good." ”

Seeing that she didn't move, he said to his sister-in-law: "What? Alain's fate, forgotten so quickly? ”

Alan was originally a clean man, knowing that the shunzi soup was not a good thing, drinking too much would hurt his body, and he was also afraid that if he met a lover in the future, he would be rejected if he couldn't give birth to a child, so he often threw it away secretly, but he was really unfortunate to be pregnant, and he quietly took medicine to have an abortion, but he saw red when serving guests. The others thought she was unlucky, so they beat her to death.

Shen Yun picked up the bowl of soup and medicine, but her hand couldn't help shaking, the medicine spilled better, and when she saw her sister-in-law, she took her hand and poured the medicine into her in one go.

After the situation gradually stabilized, Shen Yun was like Du Yue'er, most of the time he either accompanied those merry sons to recite poems, or played the pipa and danced for those who sat on the Jia business, and occasionally served a wealthy benefactor, living a drunken life and dreaming of death every day.

Sometimes, she would look out the window in a daze, silently thinking, brother, you let me live well, but if I really live like this for a lifetime, what's the point.
