Bai Ling was a little surprised, and several other people resting in the courtyard also gathered around.

"Where did you hear that?" Bai Ling asked.

"It was mentioned when Bustard Niang was chatting with Master Wu, and I was next to me at the time...... Ai Songqing ran a little anxiously, and he was a little out of breath at this time, "said that this night club was specially for a concubine of Lin Daguan." ”

"Love concubine?" Bai Ling repeated softly.

"Right...... It's not right, concubines are not counted, they have no name.

"This man surnamed Lin is a businessman, and he is an old friend of our bustard. I can't go back to Pingjing a few times a year, and I haven't even been at home for the New Year's Festival this year, but ...... Will be back in a few days.

"This little concubine of his was sold from our bustard mother a few years ago, and Lin Daguan bought her a house in the south, and she liked it very much.

"When Lin Daguan came back this time, he also hid it from his wife at home, and planned to live in the concubine's house for three or five days before going home.

"The request of 'don't sing specifically in the pear orchard, just want to hear the voice of the newcomer' was also mentioned by this concubine. This Lin Daguan is really generous, just this group of people who are temporarily formed by us to sing for one night, he paid three hundred taels of ...... for a deposit alone."

"Oh my God!" Several others exclaimed, "So many? ”

"Yes, I don't know what the price of the bustard mother negotiated with him in private...... It's definitely a lot more than this deposit! ”

"So......" Bai Ling suddenly thought of something, "the one who picked people behind the screen that evening could be that little concubine?" ”

"That's right! Bustard Niang said in the afternoon, it was the person she personally selected, even if we didn't sing well, it wasn't the responsibility of Baihuaya Liyuan, was it ...... That is, to have fun and have a lively night. ”

After hearing that he was going to sing for the female dependents, several people around him breathed a sigh of relief - many of them would invite the opera troupe to sing at their homes during the New Year's holidays, and this similar scene made everyone feel a little relieved.

"Actually, there is no need to be afraid," said one of them, "as the bustard mother said, she won't let us touch the skin and meat business for the first three months." ”

Others laughed and agreed.

At midnight that day, they were taken by the turtle's paws to the bathhouse outside—it was still the rule, the bathhouse in the pear orchard was not open to them, and they still had to wait for most of the guests to go and wash the last hot water in the bathhouse outside.

In February, the weather gradually warmed up, but it was still very cold at night. The tortoisepaws waited outside with their whips in their hands—they didn't wait, but sat in one place playing cards, looking up from time to time.

With the lessons of the previous escape and death, the girls have indeed had fewer years to move on the escape.

After bathing, Bai Ling wrapped his hair in a towel from the pear orchard, and sat outside with the dirty clothes he came.

In the night light, Bai Ling saw an extra worm at his feet.

Instinctively startled, she stood up and took two steps to the side.

But when she looked that way back—the worm was gone.

Bai Ling was a little flustered, she was wearing straw sandals today, and she didn't even have socks, but it was dim all around, and the shadows were shaking like long insects in the dark, which made people uneasy.

She looked at the ground at her feet repeatedly, and suddenly noticed that there was a man in a brocade robe behind her, and before Bai Ling could raise his head, the man grabbed her hand and instantly pulled her into the nearby dark alley.

Bai Ling was about to scream when he heard a familiar voice coming—

"It's really you...... You're not dead! ”

She looked up, and in front of her was a face trembling slightly with surprise.

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment - this face, she was too familiar.

It's Zeng Jiuyan!

Zeng Jiuyan's tears were about to fall, he grabbed Bai Ling's shoulders tightly with both hands, and a thousand words came to his heart for a while, but he couldn't say anything.

Bai Ling only felt that her eyes were hot, and she held Zeng Jiuyan's outstretched hand, "Long time no see......

"Long time no see...... How did you end up here? Zeng Jiuyan forcibly held back his sour nose and asked, "Was he rescued by someone, and then sold to this kind of place?" ”

Bai Ling shook his head.

Zeng Jiuyan grabbed Bai Ling's wrist again, turned around and was about to take her out, "Which family are you a girl now, you take me there, and I will redeem you-"

"Wait!" Bai Ling's hand suddenly became stronger, and he tightly clasped Zeng Jiuyan's wrist, "Jiuyan, stop!" ”

Zeng Jiuyan stopped with some confusion, "...... You don't have to worry about money, I can afford to pay no matter how much. ”

"No, it's not." Bai Ling shook his head, "You can't redeem me. ”

"Why?" Zeng Jiuyan turned around again, "I am more familiar with this place than you, even if it is difficult for your bustard mother to speak, I can find a way to take you out, you believe me!" ”

"I believe in you, but I wasn't sold here...... It was the Emperor's decree that I was banished here. ”

“…… What the? Zeng Jiuyan suspected that he had misheard.

"I stabbed Chen Yicong." Bai Ling reached out and patted his left shoulder, "Here." ”

Zeng Jiuyan's eyes widened suddenly.

He frowned thoughtfully—many things, he understood at once.

Why did Chen Yicong suddenly become seriously ill after the New Year's Festival and couldn't go to court early, why did everyone enter the palace to say hello, except for Sun and Zhang in the cabinet, the rest were gone......

"I didn't die, throwing myself into the lake was just Chen Yicong's trick, and I was locked up in the palace by him during that time. Now that I'm out of the palace, I'm still guilty, and I don't know how many eyes are staring at me. ”

Zeng Jiuyan felt a shock in his heart when he heard this, and he only felt sick to his stomach.

He clenched his fists and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Zeng Jiuyan paced left and right in the dark alley, then took a few deep breaths and looked at Bai Ling, "...... Then you came in from the Workshop Division, didn't you? ”

"Yes." Bai Ling nodded, "What is the way out for the girls who come out of the sect division here, do you know Jiu Yan?" ”

Zeng Jiuyan nodded, "Usually wait until mid-May, and a platform will be set up here to bring those girls out one by one to shout for the price." ”

"It's also a direct seller?"

"Yes, the people who come out of the teaching workshop are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the background of your situation is more complicated, and Baihuaya does not dare to stay, and they are generally sold directly - but the tooth shop in mid-May is more special, and the background of being able to buy people there is not simple, and most of them can afford a high price."

"How tall?"

"Look at people," Zeng Jiuyan said softly, "I've been to see the excitement a few times, and there are very few people with a position below a thousand taels, if the two sides really grab it, there are many people who can smash out ten thousand taels of gold." ”

Hearing this, Bai Ling was really relieved.

"It's really rich."

As she guessed, the reason why the bustard mother only let them work during this time, but never let them go into the fireworks and willow alleys to do things, is probably also out of this consideration.

"Then I shouldn't be fine for the next few months...... Bai Ling said softly, "Jiuyan doesn't have to worry about me. ”
