Chapter 2: Your Wishes
Luzhu has no father, her mother is dead, the bustard was going to sell the child to the bachelor at the crossing, and the women in the brothel are strongly opposed.
Later, several older women in the brothel who were rarely patronized by customers pooled their money to buy green beads for the old bustard and raised them in Anqing's room, thinking that in this way they could atone for the mistakes they made when they were young.
She was born without crying, she is well-behaved and cute, and she is likable. The women in the brothel had no children, and the green beads seemed to touch something deep in their souls, and they all loved this child.
The women spend money to find the best nurse to feed her, buy the best clothes to dress her, and every time a guest brings them a snack, they will take out a part of it and send it to Luzhu's room, and when they are bored, they also like to go to Luzhu's room to tell Luzhu the legendary stories told to them by the guests who are in the middle of the bed, which makes Luzhu giggle on the small bed.
When Midori could walk, the women in the brothel locked her in her room. They were afraid that Luzhu would see the messy appearance of her clothes, and that she would see her ugly appearance when she was flirting with men.
When Luzhu was six or seven years old, the prostitutes wanted to teach Luzhu to read, but there were too few of them who could read, and they were very busy, so they wanted to invite Mr. Reading, but the husband said that Luzhu was a child born to a prostitute and a negative heart, and teaching her to read was insulting to the reader.
Later, they heard that the woman who was doing laundry and needlework next door was literate, and they heard that Yu Youwei wrote poems at the age of seven, so they came to the door to ask the woman to teach Luzhu, but they didn't think that the woman would agree, and at that time Yu Youwei was already in her early tens, and she was already a slim girl.
After coming and going, Lu Zhu met this sister who was five years older than him, who was also the smartest girl in the world, the difference was that Lu Zhu had some taste of a woman who did not match her age, whether it was clothing or manners, and Yu Youwei looked plain and neat.
"Sister, what do you say those men do when they enter the other sisters' rooms?" The green beads tilted the innocent little head, and a pair of eyes were shiny and shining.
"Tune..."Yu Youwei opened her mouth, suddenly thought of something, and swallowed the love word on the side of her mouth.
"Tuning the piano, playing the flute, drinking tea, singing poems, singing." Yu Youwei gently brushed the hair in front of her head with her slender fingers, and smiled at her lovely sister in front of her.
"Isn't it boring to do these things all the time?" Midori asked, tilting her head.
Yu Youwei seemed to be asked by Lu Zhu, who is here to tune the piano and read the scriptures? It's just to satisfy her own desires, which she thinks are not only boring, but also dirty.
"Tuning the piano for poetry is the most interesting thing in the world, especially with the people you like."
"Do the sisters like those men? Like them as much as you like green beads? Lu Zhu pursed her mouth, she was a little jealous, and she was cute.
Even a beautiful girl like Yu Youwei couldn't help but feel pity for the lovely person in front of her, she rubbed the head of the green bead dotingly, "How can those stinky men have cute sisters, my sister is the cutest, and my sisters like my sister the most." ”
Lu Zhu narrowed her eyes and smiled with satisfaction, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Sister! I also want to learn to play the piano, learn to compose poems, and tune the piano and poems with the people I like in the future, with my sister! Green Bead likes Sister Fish the most! ”
Yu Youwei laughed lightly and nodded, "Okay, I will learn to compose poetry with my sister in the future." ”
Yu Youwei and Luzhu sat in her small room, the room was very simple, only some books and articles of her father, Youwei looked at the flying snow outside the window, and was a little distracted for a while.
She had been living here for six years, and all she saw all day long was prostitutes, drunkards, and the beauty of life seemed to have no entrance to her.
She can only see the catkins in spring, the warm sun in summer, the vicissitudes of autumn, and the cold rain in winter from the window of this small room.
Now she looked up at the snow outside the window, just like the night she came here, the night when the green pearl was born, she was amazed at the infinite beauty of the snow.
"Luzhu, look, the night you were born, there was such a big snow outside the window, it rarely snowed in Chang'an, that night was the first time I saw snow, you said the snow was beautiful?"
"The night Midori was born... Was it the night my mother left me? The sisters said that her mother went to a place full of chrysanthemums, and she must have been very happy! Sister Yu, do you say yes! But... But Luzhu really wants to see her mother, and Luzhu has never seen her mother..."
Yu Youwei's heart ached, she didn't want to tell Lu Zhu that her mother had left her forever that night, just like her own father... Now it seems that this snow will be the tears of God's crying?
"Drifting snow and tears, wet and cold." …
"Sister, those men say that you are a genius, do they praise you for your good poetry? I want to be like my sister. ”
Yu Youwei didn't speak, just looked out the window stupidly.
Lu Zhu didn't look at the snow outside the window like Yu Youwei, she didn't have so many things on her mind, she only had curiosity about the world now.
This is a child, at this carefree age, the most important thing to do is to have fun, childhood should be like this, do what you like, eat your favorite food, and be with the people you like.
All children are eager to grow up, looking forward to one day being able to dominate everything about themselves, but when they grow up, they will find that no one can really control their fate, and everyone is a plaything of fate, wandering in bitterness and joy.
"Sister, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Lu Zhu asked with her head raised in a childish voice.
"I ...... My wish is to meet the most talented man in the world, learn from him, become his disciple, and then show my writings to the people of the world, and prove to them that women can be very talented and learned. ”
Yu Youwei's tone was light, and there was no wave. In her heart, she has very mixed feelings about poetic essays. This complex emotion is like her feelings for her own father.
As a child, she has admiration and respect for her father, and has a thirst for father's love, and the loss of her father at a very young age makes it easier for her to have a good impression of people of her father's age, and a scholar like her father.
However, the death of his father made him have a trace of hatred for his father, she felt that what happened to her mother now was due to her father, if he could not get fame, if he could care more about the family, maybe her life would be different, and she would be happier.
This affects her perception of men and talents, and she will desire and dislike them. All she can do is arm herself with these things and protect herself.
But can these things really protect her? The day when these things can't protect her, what should she use to protect herself?
Yu Youwei thought carefully, and shook her head silently, "What about you, what do you want?" ”
Luzhu grinned, her eyes widened, and she said an answer that she had been thinking about for a long time, "I want to accompany my sister, always and forever, my sister reads, I will study ink on the side, my sister plays the piano, and I will sing songs on the side......"
"Silly Kid ......"
