Chapter 6 Warmth
"Huh? But I promised him..."
"Sister Hongliu, don't worry, now Cailian has left forever with all the secrets, and when this limelight passes, Officer Huang can find a reason to redeem your body and fly twice, not bad at this time~"
"Hmmm! Sister Xiangling said yes. Then I'll let him bear with it first~"
Fu Yuan stroked the strings in front of the window, and the distant and desolate sound of the piano was like a clear spring in the mountains.
"Girl, I don't understand why they do this to me..."
"Pregnant with its sin, what is there but jealousy between women, the girl is born bewitching and moving, and she is young. This is original sin. On the first day of coming, he entered Qin Shao's room, which was the second sin. ”
"But... But I... That Cailian..." "Xiang girl! Some things can only be understood but not spoken. There was an obvious warning in Fu Yuan's eyes, "I, I understand," "This door comes in, you can't get out, girl, be cautious in your words and deeds,"
Xiang Qian hugged the lotus pillow X embroidered for her by Li's mother and leaned against the head of the bed.
This is only the second day of coming to the metropolis, and there are ten days to go, a hundred days... Or even for a lifetime. The autumn wind blew the window lattice, even if it was pasted with thick cotton paper, it couldn't stop the biting cold.
"Girl, Hua Gu wants to see you,"
She hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, "Ah Sheng? The young man in the shabby coat nodded slightly, "Hua Gu is looking for you." ”
"Girl, you know I'm a man who doesn't like to beat around the bush. So I'll get straight to the point. "Yes," "You and Qin Shao. Nothing, right? ”
Xiang Shallow was unsteady on his feet, and took two steps backwards before he stood firm, "Yes...." Hua Gu took out a delicate hookah, squinted her eyes and took a puff, "You must know what is like in this metropolis, you can't go, unless someone redeems you, if not, you have to live here for the rest of your life."
It's only been two days since something like this happened, and you're the first one. If you want to stand firm, you can't just rely on a man, you have to stand up yourself.
It's over, but there's no guarantee that the next time will be like or that no one will always be behind you.
So the auction, I'm ready. Just tonight, while you're in the limelight outside, those people are craned their necks to see you. ”
The hands covered with sweat beads kept rubbing the corners of the clothes, and the thin lips lightly opened "Okay,"
Hua Gu nodded, "It's a pleasure, I don't have to worry about it." Then you go back and get ready, someone will send things to your house later, by the way, you are still living in the maid's room? I'll have to arrange a room for you, okay, you can go back first."
As soon as the door closed, the tears in Xiang Qian's eyes could no longer hold back and flowed down like a line. "You. It's okay?"
As soon as she turned around, she saw Ah Sheng in the corner of the door and hurriedly wiped his tears, "It's okay, you've been here all along?" ”
The boy nodded a little crampedly,
Ah Sheng is not tall and very thin. Maybe it's because of the color of his skin so he looks sturdy.,He doesn't look like Xiang Zhen.,The personality is different.,But for some reason.,Xiang Qian felt very kind when he saw him for the first time.,Inexplicably want to protect him、
In late autumn, everyone had already put on cotton clothes, but Ah Sheng was wearing a torn coat.
His exposed arms are covered with marks from the wind and the sun, and he doesn't look like anything he should be at this age.
"You come with me," said the young man, who refused to grab the chapped hands and went upstairs, "Try this, I have a brother of the same age as you, and this gown is made for him, just a few buckles, just right."
Xiang Qian hugged the lotus pillow X embroidered for her by Li's mother and leaned against the head of the bed.
This is only the second day of coming to the metropolis, and there are ten days to go, a hundred days... Or even for a lifetime. The autumn wind blew the window lattice, even if it was pasted with thick cotton paper, it couldn't stop the biting cold.

In late autumn, everyone had already put on cotton clothes, but Ah Sheng was wearing a torn coat.
His exposed arms are covered with marks from the wind and the sun, and he doesn't look like anything he should be at this age.
"You come with me," said the young man, who refused to take the chapped hands and went upstairs, "try this, I have a brother of the same age as you, and this gown is made for him, just a few buckles, just enough to make it to your size." ”
Ah Sheng looked ahead, and let Xiang Qian put on his clothes, "Look, it's just right, you can wear it with a button on the plate.." Before the words fell, the young man's swarthy face was full of tears.
Xiang Qian's heart ached suddenly, she will always remember the days when she and Xiang Zhen lived on the street and grabbed food with wild dogs. At that time, Xiang Zhen was not very sick, but he had a fever day and night, cough,
In the evening, the other children were taken home by their parents for dinner. Only the two of them were left sitting in the alley smelling the aroma of other people's food, shivering from the cold.
It was also an evening, Xiang was really hungry and couldn't straighten her waist, she really couldn't help it, so she was going to steal it from the uncle who sold roasted sweet potatoes on the street. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was caught, "Come home with me?" I raise you? ”
She raised her head in a daze, that smiling face, she can't forget it in her life, The current Ah Sheng, just like herself back then,
Xiang Qianqiang held back his tears and clasped Ah Sheng's back on his shoulder. "Don't cry, your clothes sister will make it for you in the future." In a word, the boy couldn't hold back anymore, and cried loudly,
After a while, Ah Sheng recovered before he spoke, "I have a sister." There was a famine in my hometown that year, so my father sold her to the Qinglou, and then my father and mother starved to death, so I begged for food alone and got here..."
"So, did you find her?" The young man shook his head, "Xu was sold somewhere else, Xu is..." "It's okay if you can't find it, at least there's hope for survival." "Your brother. Isn't it gone? Xiang Qian rubbed Ah Sheng's head, "Yes, he is nine years old this year, and he is studying in a private school in the west of the city~" "Then give him this dress..."
Xiang Qian clasped the young man's hand, "This dress is for you~ I won't be able to go back for a while, this dress.. I can't give it to him..."
Ah Sheng listened and clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, as if he was thinking about something extremely important. “... You, let's go? I'll help you escape? ”
"Escape?" "Run away, right? Don't run away tonight...." "Where to flee? My brother has tuberculosis and has to take medicine for half a year. My mother is old again, and she has to catch her breath after walking a few steps, and the world is so chaotic, how can she be stable? ”
The young man hung his head, "Then you should be careful of Hongliu and Xiangling." They...."
"Xiang girl! Packed up? You're going to have to move to the Flower Pavilion." "Got it! Right away! After the footsteps were far away, Xiang Qiancai let go of the hand holding Ah Sheng, "The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, be careful that the wall has ears." ”
"Alright, let's get busy. If you go for a long time, you're going to be scolded again, right? The boy looked at it for a long time, nodded heavily, turned around and walked out.
"Miss Xiang, your room is next to Miss Fuyuan, and after the washing is over, your mother will help you wring your face and putting on makeup. The clothes are all prepared for the girl, a total of two sets, you can choose your own. The auction starts at eight o'clock tonight."
"Okay, I got it." The little maid bowed properly, turned around and walked out.
The furnishings in this room are modeled after Western decorations, which she has only seen in pictorial magazines in movie theaters.
The table on the left hand side of the door was white, with silver carvings, and the chairs were white, with a thick layer of soft cushions on top of them.
The milky white double bed was placed in the middle of the room, and the pair of golden silk dragons and phoenixes on the bed curtain were particularly dazzling.
Xiang Qian only glanced at it, and then turned around, everything here is so luxurious, but in her heart, this is a steel cage. It seems leisurely, but in fact it is cruel,
The time was very fast, and it was evening in a blink of an eye, and the mother who taught the rules said that her mouth and lips were dry, but the person in front of her was like being covered in a vajra cover, and there was no reaction at all......
