Chapter 97: Against
"Well, I'm just hearsay." Although the slave girl said this, her expression was clearly willing to share what she knew with them, "I have been working as a rough envoy in the Red Silk Courtyard for many years, and I happened to ......be cleaning up at the front door when Sister Liu was sold in that day."
According to the slave girl, she was cleaning up the scraps on the floor that day, when she suddenly saw a group of people pulling a prostitute. The female Sister Liu broke in.
Sister Liu cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and Minniang was happy when she saw it, but she was afraid that she was forced by someone, so she didn't dare to buy it right away.
I only heard the strong man who escorted Sister Liu and said in a rough voice: "This girl's father owes gambling debts, and she is willing to help her repay the debt!" ”
As she spoke, she also pulled Sister Liu'er's hair fiercely, and asked her to say it voluntarily by herself, Sister Liu cried, so she had to say to Minniang: "Yes...... It's ...... I want to come," after saying this, he turned his head and knelt down in front of the strong man, "As long as you say that I am willing to come...... You're going to let my sister go! You must let her go! ”
The strong man nodded impatiently, "As long as you serve our brothers well, and then pay off the money by the way, we will not embarrass your little sister." ”
Sister Liu said it herself, and Min Niang naturally bought her happily. Since then, she has never stepped out of the Red Silk Courtyard, and has gradually become the money-making tool she is now.
"Ouch, my heart hurts when I look at it," the slave girl frowned and rubbed her heart, "What a little girl, this is the end of her life!" ”
The other female slave nodded, "It is said that Sister Liu 'voluntarily' joined the Red Silk Courtyard, I think ...... It's not very voluntary! ”
Shi Qingqian felt sour in his heart, and sure enough, if there was nothing unspeakable, who would be willing to despise himself and send himself to this hellish place.
Yesterday's day's work had already allowed Shi Qingqian to accumulate some experience, so it only took four hours for her to wash all her clothes today. Just when twilight was approaching and she thought she could take a good rest, Min Niang suddenly appeared again, scolded her and told her to go to the front yard to clean the shoes of the girls who were about to start their 'work'.
There was no way, she had to run over quickly.
Prostitute. The women have to bathe and change their clothes before they start to pick up customers, and even the soles of their shoes can not be stained with a trace of dust, which means that they will wash away the lead and not love the mortal dust. Shi Qingqian originally had a sarcastic attitude towards such a statement, obviously she had fallen into the mortal world, but she still had to say it so high-end and magnificent, but after getting to know Sister Liu, she realized how important such a meaning was to her.
She was wiping the soles of the women's embroidered shoes in the corner of the corridor, when she suddenly heard a noise beside her, and when she looked in the direction of the sound, she found that it was a woman in bright clothes and heavy makeup who was crossing her waist to stop a female slave who was delivering something, "Stop, whose rouge is this?" ”
The slave girl didn't react, she just lowered her head mechanically, "Miss Qiuyue, this is sent by Lord He and sent to Sister Liu." ”
"Give Sister Liu'er ......" Qiu Yue muttered the name, her eyes were covered with a layer of undisguised jealousy, and she only heard her sneer a few times, and then opened the rouge box privately, "Lord He is really wealthy, such a valuable rouge actually gave her four boxes directly?" ”
She suddenly remembered that when Lord He came last night, Sister Liu didn't know where she went, so Min Niang arranged for her to serve Lord He. He is a well-known local rich man, and he has a generous hand, Qiu Yue thought that he could successfully meet such a rich man, but he didn't expect that the gift he sent today was actually for Sister Liu!
"What's so good about her sister Liu, but she is pretending to be high, but in fact, she is not a fox!" Qiu Yue held Rouge's hand unconsciously exerted some force.
Seeing Min Niang coming over, Qiu Yue shook her hand and threw the rouge into the tray casually, "Okay, send these to my room." ”
She didn't explain why she detained the rouge herself, and she didn't explain what she wanted to use to send Sister Liu, so she took it for granted, and even the slave girl and Min Niang, who heard everything, were unmoved, as if they were commonplace.
"Okay, what are you talking about? When the guests are here, they don't hurry down to greet them. Min Niang came over just to urge them to hurry up and pick up customers, and as for the matter of rouge, she just turned a blind eye.
Shi Qingqian originally thought that Sister Liu was an Oiran, and the people in the Red Silk Courtyard always had to be polite to her, but she thought that these people would deduct her things so smoothly. It seems that although she is a treasure of the Red Silk Temple, no one here really regards it as a treasure, but ...... Not a shred of respect was given to her.
Seeing that she didn't know what she was stunned for, Min Niang kicked her in the back angrily, and threatened viciously: "Don't be clever yet!" Let me see you're lazy again, and you'll just wait to pick you up! ”
She does things so fearlessly because of the people above her, of course, not only none of them.
It was someone who gave her five hundred taels of silver, telling her to 'greet' Shi Qingqian well, and if she could toss to death, she would never leave her mouth alive. Originally, if she hadn't intervened, she would have arranged for Shi Qingqian to pick up the guests, but anyway, she tossed the mind of Zhenghe and that person. It's a pity that none of them wanted her to die, so she had to save her life.
Shi Qingqian was in pain, but she had also learned to be smart, and she no longer refuted Min Niang head-on, so she hurriedly continued to wipe her embroidered shoes. Fortunately, Min Niang was very busy at this time, and after kicking her twice, she hurried to the front door, and greeted every man who entered the door with a flattering smile.
Shi Qingqian said in her heart, sooner or later, she will make this dog-fighting thing pay the due price!
The red silk courtyard gradually became lively, and Sister Liu finally appeared in the corner next to Shi Qingqi, watching the women in the hall try their best to twist their waists to please men, and their faces were not sad or happy.
After all, she was already numb to such a situation every day.
I heard that she would only pick up guests if she was arranged by Min Niang, but at this moment she appeared on the patio on the second floor, for some reason, Shi Qingqian felt that her eyes were a little affectionate in them, as if she was waiting for someone.
Shi Qingqian was entangled in whether to inform her about Fang Cai and Qiu Yue's private seizure of her four boxes of rouge, and after thinking about it, he decided not to talk about it. Sister Liu has been here for three years, it is impossible not to know how much people here exploit her, she doesn't fight or grab, it's better not to tell her about this matter.
"Yo, my sister's waist board is really hard," Qiu Yue didn't go to pick up the guests for some reason, but walked to the corner where Sister Liu was hiding, "Is it a different identity, in the Red Silk Courtyard, you pretend to be like this every day, and my sister is not tired?" ”
