Chapter 35: Master and Servant Reunited
Lu Xin hurriedly ran out of the crowd, squatted in front of the little girl, and brushed away the messy hair on the little girl's face with her hands. Lu Xin exclaimed excitedly: "Xiaoxuan? Xiaoxuan? ”
Xiao Xuan, who was beaten all over the body, heard someone calling her name in front of her, and immediately wiped the tears that blurred her vision. When she saw the person clearly, she immediately shouted happily: "Miss? Miss, is it really you? Miss? After saying that, he cried like a child.
Lu Xin also said happily: "It's me, it's me, it's me."
Just as the two of them were immersed in the joy of reunion, the old mother's disdainful voice sounded in their ears, saying, "Yo, who is it? Do you dare to confess the relationship with me? Come on, escort the little girl back for me. ”
Lu Xin immediately stood up, stretched out her arms in front of Xiao Xuan, and said to the person who came forward, "Which of you dares to touch my maid to try?" I immediately reported to the government. ”
The old mother looked at Lu Xin in front of several men, looking fearless, and there was a bit of domineering momentum in her words. So he said: "Girl, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, this girl was bought by my Xiao Niang for real money." There is also a written contract, if the girl has to go to the government, we can also accompany it to the end, hum! ”
Lu Xin said: "This maid is indeed bought by my family since I was a child to be a personal maid. I still have the deed of sale drawn by her parents and the seal of the government at home, so I will go to the government to see if the government recognizes you or me. Lu Xin did not show weakness and said it reasonably.
This old mother is also a person who knows how to judge the situation and look at people's faces. She knew that this little girl was deceived by someone else and sold to her. The deed of sale of the traffickers was indeed forged, so she could neither cause trouble to the government, nor let Xiao Niang's money go down the drain.
She thought for a moment and said, "Girl, this girl is indeed bought by us for money, and if the girl really wants to take her away, then at least give us the money we bought her." This is her biggest concession, and if there is no one, she has to return the silver! Otherwise, how will she explain to Xiao Niang!
Speaking of this, Lu Xin couldn't help but feel embarrassed. How could she have so much money to redeem a man? But she also knew that the old mother had made concessions. If I have to make another inch, I'm afraid it will be .......... Moreover, this matter must not go to the official mansion, not to mention that she does not have Xiaoxuan's deed of sale at all, even if she has, she can't go to the official mansion, otherwise her identity will be exposed.
She thought about it and came up with an idea, so she could only fight for it, because she would not leave Xiao Xuan alone no matter what, Xiao Xuan was as important as her relatives now.
She said to the old woman, "Take me to your master, and I will give you the silver taels in the appropriate amount."
The old mother couldn't help but be taken aback after hearing this, and then looked at Lu Xin in this coarse cloth dress with contempt, and said: "What a big breath, if you can't hand over the silver for a while, you will be good-looking."
So, Lu Xin picked up Xiaoxuan and followed the old mother.
They walked down the street for a short time, and then turned and walked into a smoke willow alley. It's not so much an alley as a small street that forks off from the main street, and the streets on both sides of the street are bright with colorful signage. Lu Xin looked at the horizontal plaques on the gates on both sides as she walked, including Zefang Building, Bibo Courtyard, Zuiyu Building, Wenxiang Courtyard and other courtyard buildings. The names of these signs tell you that they are a place to have fun.
When they came to the gate of a place called Fengyue Tower, they stopped, Lu Xin thought: Fengyue, Fengyue, Fenghua Xueyue, the name of this brothel is even more explicit, it is really vulgar, but men like this.
When walking into this smoke willow alley, Lu Xin couldn't help but think of a book called "Sai Jinhua" that she had read. The book describes in detail the scene of the famous eight alleys in the capital, which feels very similar to this place.
According to some of the Ono histories she had read, brothels were divided into many levels. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the ranks were distinguished by small classes, tea rooms, lower places, and prostitutes. Among them, the small class is the highest level, and the girls in the class are all only performing arts and not selling themselves.
But well, how can wild history be reliable? Even if you are in a high-end courtyard, you don't necessarily have to be cleaner than the lower one. Those who come out to sell are all to make money, and when you meet a rich and willing to spend money, it will become a matter of your will. But this dynasty has not been recorded in historical books or different chronicles, so Lu Xin can't accurately understand some relevant information, it seems that he can only see walking steps and see moves.
On the lintel of Fengyue Tower is a rectangular mahogany plaque bordered by gold lacquer, which is only engraved with three big characters of "Fengyue Building". Red and green colored silk hangs on both sides of the lintel, and four large red lanterns are hung on each side of the corridor, on which are written the names of the famous prostitutes in the building.
After Lu Xin followed her mother into the door, she saw that the spacious lobby was neatly arranged with tables and chairs like a general restaurant, and a small high platform was built in the middle of the lobby to serve as a performance stage. The performance stage is surrounded by red silk and green yarn as a curtain, which makes people feel elegant and convenient to see the flowers.
The old mother took them up to the second floor, where there was a long corridor paved with a red carpet, and the two sides of the corridor were full of wings, and it was not yet camp time, so it seemed a little quiet and gloomy.
The old mother knocked on the door outside a side room, and it was a little maid as big as Xiaoxuan who came to open the door, and she asked the old mother, Lu Xin and others to come in.
When Lu Xin stepped into the wing, she found that it was very spacious and the decoration was very fresh and elegant. First of all, what caught Lu Xin's attention was a large terrace on the left side of the hall, on which a lot of orchid bonsai were planted, all white orchids, neatly and neatly, and the same size was placed around the terrace. There is a string in the middle of the terrace, so you can imagine what it would be like to sit here and play the piano.
In the middle of the hall is a white glazed tea table, a jade tea set, and a bronze wine tripod, each of which is luxurious and exquisite. It is used for guests, eating snacks, drinking tea and wine, and on the right side of the hall is a study. In the middle of the study room is a rectangular book table, on which the four treasures of the study and some books are neatly displayed, which is very bookish. It didn't feel like she was coming to a brothel.
"Ah............ Well.........! An ambiguous ** sound sounded in this large wing, instantly bringing back Lu Xin's mood of enjoying the beautiful scenery. Lu Xin looked to the innermost part of the hall and saw that in front of the mahogany round arch hanging from the beaded curtain, there was an ancient bed of carved mahogany with a red gauze basket. Lu Xin was sure that the voice was coming from inside, she couldn't stop her curiosity, and saw the two intertwined bodies looming in the translucent tent, Lu Xin turned her head away for a while, and she didn't need to look anymore to know what was going on inside.
A few of them stood in the hall like a log and waited, listening to bursts of happy ** sounds from inside, sometimes accompanied by the sound of flesh colliding, Lu Xin and Xiaoxuan were already red-faced. But the old mother and the little maid stood motionless as if nothing had happened, waiting patiently. Lu Xin thought, it seems that they have long been surprised.
