Mingyi asked Ayara to take the carriage back to Xinglu Courtyard first, and instructed Shi Chu to wait for her to come back, and then took Yinniang, who had changed into her usual cloth clothes, to Pingkangfang.

When they arrived at Pingkangfang, the two of them walked, all the way with a black face, and Yinniang was crying and crying, very miserable. Mingyi did not shy away from it, and reprimanded him on the street, attracting the attention of passers-by.

When I arrived at Xinglu Courtyard, the night had fallen, and it was the time when the people were buzzing. Yin's mother has taken back Hong Yi's stewardship in order to control the situation in Xinglu Courtyard, but her body has not fully recovered, so she often rests in Chengwei Pavilion and has not returned to Xinglu Courtyard today. Therefore, in the hall, Hong Yi and Wanqing are still in court.

Hong Yi saw Mingyi coming, as if he had seen a savior, and the guests couldn't take care of it, so he rushed over, and was very surprised when he saw that there was a Yinniang behind him, and was about to speak, but Mingyi took the lead.

"I can't keep this girl, I suspected her of stealing the family's treasures before, and I beat her once. I didn't expect it to relapse again this time, I can't teach it, so I'll send you here to train it well. Mingyi's face was angry, and Hong Yi was dumbfounded.

Yinniang also reacted quickly, pulled Mingyi's shirt and knelt down: "I am not ungrateful, I really need a sum of money to take my aunt out of the hands of the wicked, so I will make this decision." Yinniang should be damned, don't blame me. ”

Ming Yi said with a cold face: "What are you doing kneeling, am I forcing you now?" ”

Yinniang retracted her hand and wiped her tears: "The lady didn't force me, I was willing to sell my body, and I repaid the kindness of the lady, so I have the ability to support my mother." ”

Ming Yi snorted: "I don't need the silver taels you sold yourself, I just thought you were pitiful when I took you in." But I can't tolerate people with unclean hands and feet, you do a good job here, if you dare to commit it again, I will let the master send you to see the official. ”

Hong Yi watched from the side for a long time, and saw that Mingyi gave her a look, although she didn't understand it yet, she also knew how to cooperate with the play. She helped Yinniang up: "Don't kneel, it will affect the pleasure of the guests." If you have something to say, talk about it. ”

The three of them went to the foot of the stairs and talked in a quieter place, and Wanqing also walked over to say hello to Mingyi when she saw this.

Mingyi did not shy away from her, and complained: "This child was smuggled out of the merchant's house by Cheng Yan at the beginning, saying that she was abused and beaten by her stepfather and A-Niang. I saw her as pitiful, and stayed in the gleaning workshop to work. Look at her a little bit of posture and cleverness, a few days ago, she asked Wanqing to teach her to dance, and I want to entertain guests in Chengwei Pavilion in the future. I didn't expect to be caught by me today and she stole the gem I hid behind Grandpa's spiritual position, which I really can't bear to keep her. ”

Wanqing was surprised: "I've met her a few times, Yinniang doesn't look like such a woman who steals rats and dogs?" ”

Yinniang took Wanqing's hand and burst into tears: "I heard that after I left, A-Niang became more and more difficult to live in that house, and she was often beaten and scolded. She was harsh on me, but she was always my biological mother, and I had to get her out and give her a place to live. ”

Hong Yi cooperated: "Alas, you are a little woman, there is indeed no way out, it is not easy to survive, so you have the ability to settle your aunt." ”

Ming Yi said: "I'm not hard-hearted, but I can't ignore today's affairs." If other workers know and follow suit, how can I be a workshop owner? And my money is not blown by the wind, since she is in urgent need of silver taels, the only way to let her sell herself to Xinglu Courtyard to be a cleaner. In this way, there is a sum of silver taels for selling her body, and it is another sum for you to welcome guests in the future, which is enough to rent a room to settle her aunt. ”

Yinniang wiped her tears again, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Yes, I also thought of Xinglu Courtyard to continue to learn dance with Wanqing Niangzi, so that I might be able to earn more rewards and pick up A-Niang one day earlier." ”

Hong Yi looked disapproving, she couldn't see such a foolish plot the most, seeing Mingyi glaring at her, she didn't dare to squeak.

But Wanqing's eyes were full of distress: ", what a hard-working child." If there is another way to go, who wants a pair of jade arms and a thousand pillows. Follow me in the future, and I'll find you a customer who can afford it. ”

When Hong Yi heard this, he was very unhappy: "This is not appropriate, right?" Mingyi is her master, and it's not up to you who she wants to hand her over. ”

Ming Yi was embarrassed: "You two are good, but you have so many little ladies under your command, how can you have time to control the Qing people." ”

She frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is Ayara here?" She has nothing to do anyway, just let her take care of it first, and arrange it when Yin's mother comes. ”

Wanqing saw that Mingyi didn't want to hand over people to her, and she didn't waste any more time, so she said goodbye and went to greet the guests.

Hong Yi called Aya Luo and asked her to take Yinniang away and live in her house for the time being. Ming Yi pulled Hong Yi into the room, seeing that Wanqing was busy, he had no time to take care of them, and just talked.

Hong Yi listened to Mingyi roughly talk about their arrangements and plans, and her eyes widened when she heard it, and she couldn't close her mouth.

"You're so bold! Such a complicated plot dares to let a little girl dominate. Aren't you afraid she'll sell you? ”

Mingyi lay down on Hong Yi's couch, and his whole body relaxed: "What are you afraid of?" Even if it were known that I had sent them to work, what would they do? Take Xia Huanfeng out, as long as he and Gong Junhao still have a friendship, he will not turn against the Shangguan gang. The big deal is that I, the substitute helper, made my own initiative and apologized. Could it be that you can kill me? ”

Hong Yi squinted his eyes and looked down at Ming Yi from above: "You won't die, but what about the girl's life?" ”

Mingyi was silent for a while, and said, "She knows the risks better than me, but she insists on going. ”

Hong Yi sighed: "You are becoming more and more like a person from this world." ”

Ming Yi sat up, his hands propped up at his sides, and his expression was blank: "You mean my attitude towards human life?" ”

Hong Yi nodded.

Ming Yi smiled bitterly: "Do I have a choice?" Like you before, I was still running away from this question and sticking to my past three views. But it's useless, you have to face it. My lover, I don't know how many lives there are in my hands, and there may not be no people who don't deserve to die if there are Jiangyang thieves. Your Xia Phantom Feng, if you are soft on the enemy, you will lose your life in a few minutes. Women like us, if they are accidentally targeted by wicked people in the wild, and their corpses are in the wilderness, whether they are officials or people, they will only say that they deserve to be coquettish. The Tang Dynasty was in turmoil, and the royal law of the Tang Dynasty was only in the hands of a few people. In such a world, does it make sense for you to still take the right to life and human rights to heart? ”

Hong Yi sat down and lowered his head: "Mingyi, I think this is like a dream." We are all characters in one game, one life and two lives, and if we lose it, we lose it, and no one cares. ”

Mingyi put his arm around her shoulders: "Yes, what we have to do is to let ourselves and the people we care about climb higher in this game, and only by climbing to a sufficient height can we live longer." If you want to protect the whole district, you can't do it. ”

"Yinniang thinks the same way, right? It's just that she's not as lucky as us, and only by taking this risk can we have a chance to climb higher. Hong Yi said suddenly.

Mingyi closed his eyes and nodded. 2k reading web
