Chapter 109: The Unknown Past

Xiwen picked up her wine glass charmingly and said to Gu Muqing, "This son, the little girl Xiwen doesn't know if she will have the honor to visit this Condensing Heart Pavilion with her son?" ”

Gu Muqing looked at Zun Mojun with a smile on his face, and thought that he was already a girl, and there should be no problem with another girl to travel to the Spring Tower.

She also ignored Zun Mojun, who had a black line on her face, and took Xiwen's hand and walked to the river.

The night is coming quietly, and the light shadow of the Ningxin Pavilion shrouded in lights is like a small boat sailing in the distance, and the bright night pearl is even more clearly illuminating the surrounding environment, shining in through the colorful veil, adding a touch of mysterious romance.

Gu Muqing followed Xiwen into the boat, and the woman in the boat was graceful, and she opened the curtain of the boat.

A wind brocade can be faintly seen on the stern, and when you look at it, this brocade reads: "Ning Xin Pavilion".

The guzheng from the depths of the dark pavilion is elegant and melodious, as if the graceful woman in the deep boudoir dream tells the fragrance of life, the boat moves forward slowly, and a hazy haze rises on the river; Through this haze, in the gloomy water waves, there are wisps of bright ripples.

In this mist and ripples, listening to the leisurely intermittent sound of oars mixed with the shadows of lights, Gu Muqing wondered if he had long been lost in the splendid life of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

She pondered as she suddenly spoke.

"Childe, save me, now it's just you and me, Childe please save me."

Gu Muqing looked at the woman in front of him, who favored all the men in the audience, and his face faded from the charm just now, "Why did Miss say that?" What's wrong with you? ”

Xiwen lifted the veil covering her face, "Childe, my name is actually not called Xiwen, I was originally a young lady from a merchant family, my name is Zhinan, in my thirteenth or fourteenth year, the family shop suddenly encountered a fire, and everything in the house was burned all night, my father was depressed all day long, and finally committed suicide by throwing himself into a well, and my mother went with my father after a year." ”

Could it be that the fact that the young lady opened her mouth and sold miserably has been handed down since ancient times? Gu Muqing thought to himself.

Xiwen added, "After I became an orphan, I didn't know how to do any trades, so I had to beg on the streets every day, and once I met a well-dressed lady, she looked at me and asked me if I wanted to find a place to make a living. When I was younger, I didn't think much about it, I just thought it would be nice to have food and a place to live, and as a result, I was brought here by my current mother. ”

Gu Muqing looked at Xiwen and said these things in a light tone, not as if he was lying to her.

She didn't speak, and listened quietly to Xiwen telling her story.

"Originally, the cabinet stipulated that a woman could only come out to sing and dance at the age of nineteen, but my mother looked at me with some grace and knew a little about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so when I was sixteen, she pulled me out to accompany the guests."

Xiwen took a sip of wine, and Gu Muqing felt a trace of desolation flash in the corner of her eyes, this is not the look that a person of this age should have.

"I was brought with me a lot of costume jewellery and endless food every night, and I had a lot of fun living this life for the first two years, spending the day with my mom and feeling like my own mother." She shifted gears.

"But when I was eighteen years old, there was a fat and big-eared rich merchant who came overnight, and I don't know how much money and silver I gave my mother, and I was asked to sleep in the house.

Gu Muqing listened and slowly fell into his mind.

"That day, I held the pipa and played the last song, I wanted to go back to the house to rest, I went down the stage as usual to find my mother, but I was brought into the current house by my mother, my mother said that she wanted to have dinner with me, and the rich businessman, at first, it was still a normal meal, but while eating and eating, the rich businessman did something to me, I was very angry, and I had never encountered such a thing."

"So, I stood up and slapped the rich businessman, but I didn't expect the wine glass in my mother's hand to smash directly at me, cutting my shoulder."

As she spoke, she showed her shoulder, which had a deep scar, to Gu Muqing.

"Since that day, I have known that I have always been a tool for this Ningxin Pavilion to make money, and my mother's care for me is all a play to appease and manage me."

Gu Muqing looked at the woman in front of him who had the color of the country, but he didn't expect her to experience such a heavy thing.

"Later, I secretly hid the jewelry and silver that the guests gave me every day, because there are rules in the cabinet, and the items given by the guests must be handed over in full, and I have worked hard to save enough to redeem myself in the past few years, and finally ushered in the freedom of a hundred days ago, but I didn't expect that just yesterday, I was tied back with a sack by several big men, and I was locked upstairs by my mother before I appeared."

"Childe." Xiwen knelt in front of Gu Muqing.

"I observed for a night, only you were unmoved by me, presumably Childe is a kind and good person, Xiwen begged Childe to redeem for Xiwen, Xiwen will enter the power of dogs and horses to serve Childe in the future."

Gu Muqing couldn't help but be moved when he heard Xiwen's words.

It's all girls, but I didn't expect the things I encountered to be so different.

Looking at Xiwen's appearance, she is also a simple girl, and she also wants to save Xiwen very much in her heart, but her current identity is ......

Gu Muqing was distressed for a long time, looked at Xiwen who was kneeling on the ground, sighed and said.

"Miss Xiwen, I feel very sorry for you after listening to your story, now since there are only you and me, then I won't hide it, the reason why I am not interested in you is because I am a daughter, and the son who came with me tonight is my husband."

Xiwen listened to Gu Muqing's words with a look of disbelief.

She took a closer look at Gu Muqing, and then collapsed to the ground in despair, she originally wanted to make a desperate bet and find a good family for herself tonight, but she didn't expect that she picked a woman after picking one night.

Gu Muqing helped Xiwen up and let her sit next to her.

"Sister Xiwen, I will change your sister when you are younger than me, I am really sad to hear your story, I promised you to take you out, but not tonight, it is inconvenient for me and my husband's identity to be exposed here, you have been here for a few days, don't show your feet, I will come back to save you after discussing with my husband when I go home."

Xiwen smiled bitterly and could only agree. What could she do? Which woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not jealous of her, but this woman said that she would save her.
