Chapter 27 Win the hearts of the people and win the world
It was more late at night, and compared with the street shops closing their doors, the traffic in front of Xunfang Pavilion was more lively.
Zhao Youling followed the man's gait and approached Xunfang Pavilion.
An elderly woman in red guarding the door of Xunfang Pavilion immediately warmly beckoned Zhao Youling to come in and enjoy herself.
"Childe can rest assured to go in and play, Xunfang Pavilion has always kept the identity of the guests secret."
The woman in red turned around and shouted that Yingying Yanyan came out to serve Zhao Youling, and immediately two girls with flowing cloud buns came out, one left and one right, grabbed Zhao Youling's arms, and walked towards the inner room.
"Serve Childe well, your good opportunity has come......"
The woman in red raised the silk handkerchief in her hand at Zhao Youling's back and laughed loudly. With her experience, she can see at a glance that Zhao Youling's identity is not ordinary, not to mention dressing up, a single pair of eyes with longing eyes is not something that ordinary seekers can have.
Xunfang Pavilion can stand in the capital for decades, the first rule is not allowed to inquire about the identity of guests, and those who enter Xunfang Pavilion are noble guests, and they must be treated equally.
Of course, Xunfang Pavilion treats guests equally, but the specifications of hospitality are still divided into three, six, nine and so on.
First-class guests enter the private room on the second floor and listen to the top girl of Xunfang Pavilion playing the piano and singing songs, warm wine and boiling tea bed mats; Generally, guests sit or lie down in the hall on the first floor, laughing and dancing with the girls.
"Does Childe want to go to the private room on the second floor to listen to music alone, or do you want to drink and watch songs and dances with all the guests on the first floor?"
For first-time visitors, the girls are always very enthusiastic about introducing the business of Xun Fang Ge.
Zhao Youling glanced at the guests sitting in the hall on the first floor, and her ears were filled with the sounds of all kinds of men and women laughing. Such an occasion is obviously not suitable for inquiring about information.
"Please prepare me a private room on the second floor."
"Does Childe have a girl who is familiar or famous and wants to meet?"
Hearing that Zhao Youling was going to go upstairs to the private room to consume, Yingying and Yanyan's eyes lit up, and the smiles on their faces became more attentive.
The consumption of the private room is not to say that it is a gold cave with a lot of money, and it will cost at least a few hundred silver. The two of them led the guests upstairs, and naturally they would be rewarded by the Oiran on the second floor.
“……”
Zhao Youling regretted that she hadn't done her homework beforehand, and she didn't know what was so beautiful in Xunfang Pavilion. was asked by two girls who attracted guests for a while, so I had to be silent.
I guess it's a chick!
Yingying and Yanyan looked at each other, their eyes were full of snickers, holding Zhao Youling's arm and couldn't help but pull it into their arms, deliberately letting their faces rub against Zhao Youling's arm.
"Don't hide it from the child, there are a total of four Oiran girls in our Xunfang Pavilion, and they all have regular guests. If Childe and they don't know each other, if you want to see them, you have to hand over the stickers in advance and queue up. ”
"Oh, and such a rare girl?"
"Of course."
Feeling that both arms were constantly being softly pinched, Zhao Youling exerted a slight force, and the two forces were like steel whips slamming towards the faces of the two women. The two of them suddenly felt numb in their chests, and they couldn't help but let go of their hands.
Got rid of the shackles, Zhao Youling went straight up the stairs on the second floor.
"Childe, wait a minute."
If you can introduce your guests to a good girl, you will get a more generous reward. Yingying Yanyan caught up with Zhao Youling, and with a smile on her face, she was introduced into a nearby private room.
"Miss Su'er is the top brand of Xunfang Pavilion, and her appearance is no worse than that of a few Oiran. I believe that she will be able to win the selection at the Oiran Conference next month, but today's son is a coincidence, Miss Su'er is free! ”
The double doors were pushed open, and Yingying and Yanyan almost pushed Zhao Youling in.
It doesn't matter which girl you find, Miss Su'er is Miss Su'er. Zhao Youling did not resist the force of the two girls pushing her, and slowly walked into the inner room.
A curtain of dangling crystal beads gently swayed with the night breeze blowing in from the window, making a subtle sound.
There are several painting scrolls of watercolor lotus flowers with different postures hanging on the wall, and there is a square table of lotus lotus root with three bent legs in the center of the room, and there is a golden incense burner on the square table, and a furnace of incense crumbs is burning in the incense burner, and the white smoke rises and wafts from the gold furnace between the carved flowers, and the room is full of fragrance, which makes people want to say that the room is elegant and why it needs to be big.
"What about people?"
Zhao Youling entered the room and looked around, but she didn't see Su'er, the girl who was about to win the Oiran, and was wondering to herself, when she heard a vague voice from behind her.
"Did Childe go to the wrong room?"
“……”
Zhao Youling turned sharply and looked behind the bead curtain where the voice came.
"Su'er can't see the guest anymore. Moms should know...... Childe, please go find another girl. ”
A faint sigh reveals infinite sadness, but it makes people's hearts suddenly tug up and can't let go.
There was no light behind the bead curtain, so Zhao Youling didn't notice anyone behind the bead curtain just now.
"Miss Su'er, what is there to tell me? Since I came, it was also a fate that they brought me into your house. I don't listen to music, I just talk to the girl. ”
Zhao Youling stared at the light and illusory figure behind the bead curtain.
Silence, long silence!
There is a night to stay here to investigate, but Zhao Youling is not in a hurry.
Zhao Youling is in a bright place, and Su Er can see her clearly behind the curtain. It can be seen that Zhao Youling is not an ordinary guest who comes to seek pleasure, but she really wants to hear about her difficulties.
Su'er lifted the bead curtain and walked out.
"Miss Su'er!"
Zhao Youling gave a man's fist salute.
The moment she saw Miss Su'er come out, she already understood why Su'er said that she couldn't see guests......
"Does Childe still insist on talking to Su'er?"
Su'er's body trembled slightly, and her voice was astringent. I guess I haven't said a lot in a day.
"Of course, gladly."
Zhao Youling smiled and said that she naturally sat down at the square table.
Su Er saw that her appearance not only did not scare the noble son away, but the other party also sat down and looked willing to talk to her deeply. Her eyes couldn't help but be a little sour, and she stood firmly for a moment, and then walked to Zhao Youling and sat down.
Su'er should have been no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, but her face was as bright as that of an old woman. She lowered her eyes, unwilling to meet Zhao Youling.
"Childe smiled, I wasn't like this the day before yesterday, presumably Yanyan didn't know that my appearance had been destroyed, so she would lead Childe to my room."
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Zhao Youling had a hunch that Su'er's story might be related to the murder of Zheng'er's father and brother.
"If Childe is willing to listen, Su'er will naturally not hide Childe. It's just that the son has to promise Su'er, just hear about this matter, and you must not go to your heart, let alone tell outsiders. That will bring death to Childe, and it may also implicate Childe's mansion. ”
Speaking of last night's incident, Su'er still had palpitations. Thinking of the man's face, she couldn't help but tremble.
"He himself told me that he was the crown prince and would carry me to the prince's mansion to be a side concubine. I didn't believe it, Xunfang Pavilion has rules, don't inquire about the identity of guests. Later, he took out his prince's seal, and the jasper seal was engraved with Zhao Yan'......"
Su Er was originally a Qing Qi person, and only accompanied the guests to sing and play the piano. Last night was the day she received her first guest, and the guests gathered in the hall bid for Su'er's first night companion.
A young man with a generous hand finally won Su'er's right to accompany him, and went to Su'er's room on the second floor with great interest, first drinking together, and then Su'er played music for him. The two eyebrows warmed up, and the man stepped forward to hug Su'er, and was about to put his lips on Su'er's cheek, when the door slammed open.
Zhao Yan barged in.
Of course, the man was furious and stepped forward to let Zhao Yan leave. Zhao Yan kicked the man to the ground without saying a word, and the two attendants who followed him pulled the man out of the door and closed the door tightly......
"You mean Zhao Yan dragged that man out and killed him on the street?"
"I don't know if Zhao Yan killed him. This morning I was tortured to the point that life was worse than death, and I wanted to ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for me, and I saw the yacha in front of the door to handle the case, and the person who was killed was the man who had shot me last night. ”
Su'er hugged her shoulders and looked cold.
Zhao Youling grabbed a thin blanket nearby and draped it over Su'er.
Su Er looked sideways at Zhao Youling's face gratefully, and continued:
"The son who broke in, well, Zhao Yan, he said that all the Qing people in the capital can only be used by him, and if other men get involved, they will have to exchange their lives. When I began to disobey him, he poured me a strange medicine, tied my hands and feet to the bed, and tortured me until dawn......"
"God, so arrogant! It seems that he really is the crown prince. It's just that if such a prince becomes the emperor, then the people don't want to have a good life. ”
"How much better can the current emperor be?"
Su Er raised her eyes, her eyes revealed two chills, she let go of her hands holding her shoulders, and bit her lip as if she was trying her best to suppress the pain in her heart.
"If the girl has something to say, did she do something sorry for the girl today?"
"He killed all my people! I was able to escape because my neighbor's aunt kindly took me away and hid me. Later, she saw the wealth and sold me into the Qinglou. I've been living in Xunfang Pavilion since I was eight years old, and I want to die every day. But when I was about to die, I remembered the hatred of my people. I can't die, I'm going to kill the Dog Emperor and the Dog Prince. ”
Su'er sighed faintly.
"But I am a daughter with a thin life, and I can't even make my own body by myself, so what can I do to kill the emperor and the crown prince and avenge my people...... I'm not afraid of the son's report to the official, I'm already a half-dead person, and I'm going to die. Now my body is dead, and I don't have the face to see my family. Stained by the enemy, there is no difference between living and dying. ”
Su Er touched her shriveled cheeks and suddenly cried bitterly. The woman's face and body are more precious than life, she has lost them all, and she feels that life is worse than death.
"Miss Su'er, don't cry, I understand what you said. You have to believe that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, since the emperor and the crown prince are unpopular today, there must be people who clean them up, and there must be a Ming monarch who governs the world in their place. ”
"Is it possible? Can I take revenge on my people? You, who are you? ”
Su Er stopped crying and looked at Zhao Youling in disbelief.
Zhao Youling lifted Su'er's chin and looked at her face carefully.
"Me? Hehe...... I am the one who can heal your face and give you back your beautiful face. ”
