On the eve of the sacrifice, everything was calm, there was no trace of waves, so smooth that Lin Mei began to doubt life.

Qi Niang saw that the errand in her hand had almost been done, and she was relieved, and said to Xin Zhangshi in the imperial dining room: "Today's sacrifice is over, and we won't have anything to do after that, I think we can leave the palace at noon." ”

Lin Mei was still worried in her heart: "Let's check it again, the sacrifice is a big deal, and don't go wrong in the food offering." ”

Xin was easy-going, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, don't be afraid, I have been taking care of this imperial dining room for many years, and I have never made a mistake, and I see that the day is almost dawn, and the people from the Ministry of Rites should be almost there, as long as these sacrifices go out of this door, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Lin Mei smiled knowingly, and said "Buddha bless" in her heart.

Sure enough, when Shen Shi, a eunuch came with a reward of silver to announce the decree, ordering them to leave the palace quickly.

When they were out of the palace, the two of them were really relieved and smiled at each other.

"This little lady, can you have the surname Lin?"

Lin Mei looked at the strange housekeeper in front of her and nodded stunned.

"It can be regarded as receiving someone, the old woman came to pick up the two of you on the order of the county lord, please get in the car quickly."

"You are from the princess's mansion, why have I never seen you, I don't know your surname, how to call you?"

"The old woman's surname is Zhao, you can call me Mrs. Zhao, I have been in charge of managing the outer courtyard before, so it is common sense that the girl has not seen it."

"How is the county lord doing?"

"If you go back to Lin Niangzi, the county lord caught a cold a few days ago and has been recuperating at home for several days, otherwise the county lord will definitely come in person."

When Lin Mei heard this, she didn't have a trace of suspicion, and even a little anxious, and said, "Can you invite Langzhong?!" What did Lang Zhong say? ”

"Lang Zhong only said that he needed to recuperate, and the others didn't say much."

As soon as I got into the carriage, the aroma was fragrant, and I saw an incense burner on the small table of the carriage, and a trace of smoke was rising.

"What kind of fragrance is this, so rich?" Lin Mei couldn't help but frustrate her nose and asked.

Qi Niang sniffed carefully, and said with a smile: "The girl doesn't like to light incense on weekdays, this incense is called Bailen incense, I heard that a hundred taels of silver only get a small box, a specialty in the south of the Yangtze River, we are not common here." ”

"The little lady is so insightful, I heard that this incense is carefully made from a hundred kinds of flowers, and the old woman is still the blessing of the Torin lady, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to smell such a fragrance in this life." After speaking, Mrs. Zhao took a small piece from the wooden box next to her and threw it into the incense burner.

Lin Mei was not used to it, she only felt that this fragrance had smelled for a long time, and she was a little dizzy, and she wanted to let her extinguish it, but looking at the intoxication on her face, she couldn't bear it.

The air is like a peony, or a rose, or a lily, or a musk...... The complicated fragrance was too strong, Lin Mei couldn't tell the difference, her head was dizzy, and she finally fell asleep at some point.

When I woke up again, I found that I was lying on the bed with five flowers, unable to move, and I don't know how long I had been asleep.

Lin Mei's heart was full of alarm bells, she looked around, and found that she didn't see Qi Niang's figure, and she was in a hurry, but her hands and feet were tied, and a piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth.

After struggling for a long time, sweating profusely in vain, I calmed down, and then I found that the big red bed curtain, through the bed curtain, through the evening light, looked at the looming furnishings, this should be the women's boudoir.

I turned over all the offended people in my mind, and I couldn't figure out who would spend so much effort to tie myself up.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

The door opened with a "squeak", and a woman walked in with two strong men.

"Let's see if anyone is awake." The woman said.

Lin Mei was extremely nervous, so she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

One of the strong men directly lifted the bed curtain, glanced at it, and replied with a smile: "This fragrance is so powerful, I've slept all day, and I haven't woken up yet, Mother Park might as well go and ask for some back, and it will be more convenient for us to do things in the future." ”

Lin Mei was surprised, she didn't expect that she would be in a coma for a day?! It seems that the other party is not small, and he is willing to pay this cost.

Mother Park didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you have the courage to find a way to ask for it, I don't have that much face." ”

After speaking, he picked up the kettle on the table and splashed it directly on Lin Mei's face.

There was a burst of coldness, so that Lin Mei couldn't pretend anymore, and slowly opened her eyes with pretence, and then there was a confused look in her eyes, "Woo woo woo ......."

"Don't be afraid, lady, I'm here to save you." Mother Park said with a smile, and then took out the handkerchief from her mouth.

"Who are you, and why are you holding me here? Where's my ring? ”

"Don't be afraid, girl, I'm Mother Pu, this is Yixiang Pavilion, your mother has sold you to Yixiang Pavilion, and now you are the girl of our Yixiang Pavilion, as long as you are obedient, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future." Park's mother smiled.

Yee Xiang Court? A brothel? Who is it that would have come up with such a vicious method and ruined his own reputation? The hatred in Lin Mei's heart, like a galloping horse, tilted out of her eyes.

"What's wrong with being a girl, you don't have to worry about food and clothing from now on, you wear gold and silver, if you follow me, you will be called Bing Yao from the next time, what do you think?"

Lin Mei glanced at her coldly and said, "It's not good, if you sell it, you will redeem it, you make a price, I will redeem myself." ”

"I think you still don't know the rules of our industry, if you enter Yixiang Pavilion, if you haven't done it for a year, you are not allowed to redeem yourself, of course, unless you meet a guest who is willing to spend money to redeem your body, then it's another matter."

Do it for a year? It's better to kill yourself, Lin Mei spat out a turbid breath and said calmly: "Ten thousand taels of silver." ”

Mother Park was stunned for a moment, and said with an uncertain face: "You don't have a copper plate on your body, what can you use to redeem yourself, don't want to be blind." ”

"Twenty thousand taels."

Mother Park was stunned, and wondered in her heart, could it be that this is the daughter of which family, how can this be good?

Seeing that she was unmoved, Lin Mei shouted directly: "Thirty thousand taels." If my mother lets me go, I won't pursue today's matter with you, and I will give you the money. ”

Park's mother has been doing this business for more than ten years, what kind of person has never seen it, no matter how greedy she is, she doesn't dare to gamble her life together, how can she really be tempted by tens of thousands of taels of silver.

couldn't help but say: "Hmph, if you let you go back at this time, if you have a desire for revenge, it is difficult for us to report to the official, there are more rich daughters like you who have flowed into our industry, I will give you a night's time, you think about it again, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." ”

Lin Mei couldn't help frowning, but thinking that she was tied up, even if she wanted to, she couldn't escape, and said aggrievedly: "Mom said well, I don't know how long I've been lying down, I'm already hungry and exhausted, why don't you let me go first, send some food, and then think about it when I'm full." ”

Mother Park suddenly turned her face and threatened: "Hmph, don't play tricks on me, there will be someone guarding the door all the time, if you want to escape, I will break your leg and throw it into the lowliest incense pavilion to let the man ride." ”

Lin Mei was so frightened that she trembled, and said in horror: "Mom spares her life, Mom spares her life, I depend on you, otherwise you let my maid come in to serve me." ”

"Yahuan? I didn't see you with a ring. Mother Park was even more convinced in her heart that she was the daughter of which family, which offended the nobles, and she didn't dare to let her out.
