Chapter 9: Inside the Chunxiang Temple

"Shopkeeper, these two are here to make trouble." The young man lowered his body and said angrily.

"You young man is talking nonsense, I put a girl in your house before, and the shopkeeper of your house is also present."

Surprisingly, the shopkeeper slapped the young man hard, "How do you talk to our guests?" Have you forgotten who you are? ”

"Shopkeeper, I ......"

Before the young man could finish his words, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper. "Get out!"

The young man walked away in a gloomy manner.

The shopkeeper turned his head and said, "Grandma don't have the same knowledge as him, by the way, what kind of girl are you talking about?" ”

"Shopkeeper, I didn't carry a girl on my back and put it here with you, and then said I went to find her family, no, this is the girl's brother." Grandma pointed at me.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Hey, why are you all pretending to be confused?" Grandma was in a hurry.

"What the hell did you do with Sui'er?" I asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, you two, it may be that there are too many things tonight, I don't remember very clearly." The shopkeeper knocked on his head, "Grandma, do you remember which room you were in?" Why don't we go and have a look? ”

"Of course I remember, I'm not an old fool."

We followed Grandma to the room where Sui'er was placed, and when we opened the door, a woman of the same size as Sui'er was lying, and I trotted over with ecstaty, "Sui'er." ”

The woman on the bed opened her eyes, "Hey, who are you?" ”

Not Sui'er.

"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person, I bothered, I bothered." I apologized, walked out, and closed the door.

"Grandma, this is not Sui'er!" I frowned, "Where the hell is Sui'er?" ”

"Grandma, I'll just say that there is no such thing, you must be mistaken." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"I'm not mistaken! I'm getting older, but I'm not confused! You must have done something to get the little girl away, who knows what you are doing? Grandma's face flushed with anger.

"Old man, don't spew blood!" The shopkeeper pointed at the grandmother with his finger, "Don't rely on the old and sell the old in me!" ”

"As soon as I entered the door, I felt that you were not good people, I was really blind, and I placed the girl here with you!" Grandma spat at the boss.

"Little Er, kick them out!" The shopkeeper turned around and left, scolding, "Crazy woman! ”

After being kicked out, my grandmother grabbed my hand, "Young man, I really didn't lie to you, I really settled that girl here, why is it missing now?" ”

"Grandma, I believe you, they must have done it."

"I'm really blind to this black-hearted shop!" Grandma gritted her teeth, "These gang are thousands of kills!" ”

"By the way, Grandma, Chunxiangyuan is near here, right?" I want to make sure if the man lied to me.

"Chunxiangyuan is not far in front, there is a possibility that this black shop has collusion with Chunxiangyuan, and the girl was sold in." Grandma had an uneasy expression on her face, "It's not easy for the girls who entered the Chunxiang Courtyard to get out." ”

"I want to make sure I'm not in there now, and if she is, I'll get her out, no matter what method I use!" I said with certainty.

"Then I'll take you there."

"Okay, I'm sorry Grandma!"

"Don't bother, I'm to blame for being careless." Grandma sighed, "Let's go, we'll be here soon." ”

"Young man, you have to be prepared." Grandma said to me in a heavy tone, "The girls who enter Chunxiangyuan have a hard life, and those who are beautiful will be forced to sell themselves by the bustard, and if they are disobedient, they will be abused or beaten. This kind of woman is either accepted as a concubine by the concubine, which is not bad; Either it's always in there, and when you get older and lose your appearance, life will be even more difficult. There are also those who sell their art but not their bodies, which are relatively few, think about it, who really comes to listen to the music when they come inside? ”

"Why doesn't the government regulate this kind of industry?"

"Official? Hmph, the people of the government are here to have fun! And I heard that this brothel is also set up by the Guan Zhong of Qi State, in the name of increasing national income and reconciling social contradictions, don't you think it's a joke? As soon as the green building industry flourished, the local young girls suffered, and every once in a while, other people's women were lost, and no one cared about them when they reported to the government. As soon as these lost women were sent in, they were imprisoned and forced to wear heavy makeup to receive guests. Their officials are fragrant when they fart, and they do everything right. Grandma was indignant.

After a short walk, you will reach your destination and you will be greeted by a tall building surrounded by greenery and gold. The emerald blue glazed tiles shine dazzlingly under the reflection of the moonlight, and the top of the vermilion lacquer gate hangs a black golden silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with three big characters "Chunxiangyuan".

"I'll send you here, this place is inconvenient for an old woman to enter, it's almost dawn, I have to rush back."

"Thank you, Grandma!"

"It's okay, it's all supposed to be done, if I wasn't blind, I wouldn't have so much to do. By the way, young man, you have to be careful when you go in, remember, you're looking for someone, don't get caught in it. After Grandma finished speaking, she hurried home.

It should be the time of yin, and the moon will not set.

Looking up at the plaque again, I resolutely walked in.

The Chunxiang courtyard is extremely luxurious and gorgeous, the cloud top is made of sandalwood as a beam, the alder wood is a purlin, and the nanmu is a rafter, and the caisson is painted with the beauties of the past dynasties, all of whom are open and breasts, and they look delicate.

There is a huge pearl hanging overhead, which glows softly, like a bright moon. The ground is paved with white jade, embedded with gold beads, chiseled into a lotus, the flowers become the appearance of a five-stemmed lotus, the petals are fresh and exquisite, even the stamens are delicate and recognizable, and they feel extremely warm and moist when they step on, it is originally chiseled with Lantian warm jade, and it is really like a jade lotus step by step.

When I smacked my tongue, two charming women walked over, both with heavy makeup on their faces, pink and white black lips, one wearing a red skirt and the other wearing a green skirt, they said to me with a smile: "Yo, the guest officer is here for the first time, look at the face, don't worry, the sisters will definitely take care of you!" ”

As he spoke, they pushed me forward and stretched out their hands to touch me, and I immediately broke free, looked at them with displeasure and said, "I'm looking for Sui'er!" ”

"Yo! The guest officer is quite infatuated. The woman in the green dress looked at me and smiled.

"Ah Rui, don't say it, since the kiln head asked her to light the yellow table paper and burn it under the table and under the bed, this business has been better, you see, there is another infatuated man today, hahaha." The other woman laughed too.

"It seems that this method of 'burning the house' is quite good, let's try it tomorrow!" The woman named "Ari" said.

"I'm looking for Sui'er!" I said it again.

"Mama Zhang!" They both shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming." Hearing this, a bloated woman came over, still muttering, "Call me when you have a big deal, what's the use of you two?" With that, she poked the two women on the foreheads with her fingers.

"There's a guest here, and I insist on looking for Sui'er." Ari said.

"Oops! This son, please, I'll take you to Sui'er. This woman surnamed Zhang should be the bustard mother in the "Chunxiang Courtyard", at this moment she was greeting me attentively, and took me to a room on the second floor, she pushed open the door, "Sui'er is inside, Gongzi, please come in." ”

I stepped into the house, and the bustard mother gently closed the door and went downstairs.

The room is also very luxurious, only to see the six-foot-wide sandalwood bed hanging beside the exquisite moon tent, the tent is also embroidered with canaries, peony flowers, from the hollow carved window blowing in a breeze, blowing this exquisite moon tent gently swinging, the picture on the tent is vivid, as if the canary is crying leisurely, the peony flower is swaying happily.

Through the tent, you can see that the couch is set up with a green jade incense pillow and a jade belt stacked with a robe of the couch.

Looking ahead, the tables, chairs, and dressers inside are also made of sandalwood, and the sandalwood incense and rouge incense in the whole room are mixed and scattered, as if falling into a sea of clouds and mountains.

Sui'er was sitting upright in front of the dresser, dressed up in front of the bronze mirror, and when she heard someone coming in, she didn't bother to raise her head, and said softly: "Wait a minute, the slave family will come to serve you immediately!" As she spoke, she let out a delicate laugh, "Make sure to serve properly." ”

Hearing this voice, I immediately felt that something was wrong, Sui'er's voice was not like this. Although I thought so, I still wanted to confirm it, so I walked to the dresser, gently tapped the woman's shoulder with my hand, she turned around, and said with a smile: "The guest officer can't wait so much?" ”

If it wasn't Sui'er, I immediately rushed out of the door, "Hey! The guest officer ......, "I didn't hear what this woman named Sui'er said, so I hurried downstairs.

"Mama Zhang!" I shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Zhang's mother walked over, "Why did this guest officer come down?" Is it Sui'er, this cheap girl, who didn't serve? ”

"The spike I want is not this spike!"

"We're a spike, could it be that you're in the wrong place?" The bustard mother smiled wickedly and said, "Aren't all girls in the world the same?" The girls in our Chunxiang Courtyard are all in love with the country and the city, so why don't you just find one here for fun? I promise they can take good care of you, but how do you know if you don't try? ”

"Who says all girls in the world are the same? Everyone's appearance and temperament are different, and I came to you to only look for Sui'er. ”

"That one just now is indeed Sui'er, what's the matter? The guest officer is not satisfied with her? The bustard's mother still smiled, "In this way, the old man is also the first time to come here, and the guest officer said what type of girl you like, I will arrange it for you immediately!" ”

I was speechless for a while, feeling that I couldn't talk to this Zhang's mother, and I was going to ask her from a different angle.
