Chapter 6: Sister Hong's Past
Jiang Liuli lived in the "Yishui Pavilion", during which she went out many times to inquire about the news, but still found nothing, which made her inevitably a little impatient, but helpless.
"Yishui Pavilion" is the name of the Qinglou, the Yishui Pavilion at night is full of people, whether it is rude people, or elegant people, they all like to come here, and the women in the building are very respected, they are all literary people, literati and ink writers are willing to come here to fight against their poetry, here is said to be a green building, but not a green building, it seems to be a place for people to chat, stretch their emotions.
Although some girls will be molested, the people in the building will be blasted out of the door by the guests before they make a move, and over time, the men who have entered the "Yishui Pavilion" will not dare to make another time.
And Sister Hong is the best one in everyone, she was originally a young lady, and she was a famous talented girl, but she was framed by the villain, and her family all died in vain, only she lived alone, if it wasn't for revenge, she would have followed her relatives and gone.
Now that her revenge has been avenged, she has always been grateful to her for helping her avenge Yue Liuli, plus she is homeless, so she stayed in the "Yishui Pavilion" and helped take care of the things in the building by the way.
Jiang Liuli once went to the front yard to see, it was very lively, there were women singing and dancing, there were also women who mingled with men and chanted poems against each other, and some women were playing against men, and that serious attitude couldn't even affect them with the noisy voices on the side.
According to the situation in the Water Pavilion, this is all due to Sister Hong, and the Qinglou in other places, although they are also operating in this way, the business is not as good as here, Jiang Liuli can only make some articles in song and dance in order to prevent the business of other Qinglou from plummeting.
For a girl from the 21st century, although she is not very good at dancing, she is very familiar with songs, and she will be 100% popular if she plagiarizes modern songs and sings them here.
She has her own room in the attic in the backyard, that room is the best room here, and it is also close to the corner, she and Yue Liuli are both quiet people, so the room is basically close to the corner.
On this day, she stayed listlessly in her room, and did not plan to go out to find out the news, just about to find something to do, when she suddenly heard a conversation outside the window, this person was none other than Sister Hong, and the other person was a man.
"What are you doing here again?" Sister Hong's tone was very indifferent, even with a hint of impatience.
"I just wanted to come and see you." The man's gentle voice came into Jiang Liuli's ears, which made her a little embarrassed, but she was reluctant to go.
She didn't like to listen to other people's conversations secretly, but she had nothing to do but continue to listen, anyway, they themselves chose to speak under the window, and it had nothing to do with her, so she eavesdropped with peace of mind.
"What do you want to see? See how I get molested by men in all sorts of ways? "Sister Hong's words are very hurtful, but they are true, some people don't need to use foul language, they don't need to use their hands, they can still tease the girls here, but they can't find fault with them.
"You know, I've always wanted to get you out of here, I've always wanted to get you out of here." The man still spoke softly to Sister Hong.
"After you leave here, will you go back and be your concubine?" Sister Hong asked coldly.
"I just want to marry you." The man's firm tone not only made Sister Hong stunned for a moment, but even Jiang Liuli looked at him differently.
"Your mother will not allow you to marry a Qinglou woman as a wife, not to mention, I don't love you." Sister Hong's words are a bit cruel, but they are very likely to be true.
"Kite, you don't have to hurt me with such words, no matter what you do to me, I won't give up." The man said that, but obviously, he was hurt by this sentence.
"Whatever you want, you can do whatever you like." Sister Hong didn't seem to want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so she left.
Jiang Liuli listened quietly, the man still stood under the window and did not leave, as for Sister Hong, her footsteps coming upstairs were very messy, and it was obvious that the ruthlessness just now was all faked.
Jiang Liuli opened the door and planned to talk to her, since the two love each other, why do they have to hurt each other for the so-called difference in status.
Sister Hong walked to her room with a sad face, and when she saw Jiang Liuli in the corridor, she was stunned and quickly wiped away the undried tears on her face.
"Miss." Sister Hong knew that she came to hide her identity this time, so she no longer called her the young palace master, but called her Miss like them in Ming Xia.
"If you love him, why should you hurt him?" She looked at Sister Hong puzzled, although she was twenty years old, she had never understood love.
"I'm so old, how can I have the energy to talk about those loves." Sister Hong smiled self-deprecatingly, in fact, she was only twenty-five years old, just at the time of her prime, but unfortunately in ancient times, this was already an older leftover girl.
"As long as you have the heart, you can fall in love at the age of forty or fifty." Jiang Liuli didn't think that her was deterred by age, there must be other reasons.
"Miss, are you going to take care of it to the end?" Sister Hong smiled bitterly, she didn't understand, how could a nosy young lady take care of her affairs?
Jiang Liuli didn't speak, but turned around and walked into the room, and when Sister Hong saw this, she followed behind her, thinking about how to say this.
Jiang Liuli came to the window, opened the window through a gap, and looked out through the gap, the man was still standing under the window, although he couldn't see his appearance clearly when he lowered his head, but the sad aura emanating from his body couldn't hide it.
"Because of your refusal, he is in such pain, is this really the result you want?" She gave up her position and let Sister Hong go and see it herself.
Sister Hong looked at the man under the window, tears fell involuntarily, in order not to let the people downstairs find out, she hurriedly covered her mouth, afraid that she would make a noise and be discovered by him.
The man stood downstairs for a while, then walked slowly towards the back door of the courtyard, and then opened the door and walked out.
Jiang Liuli saw that the person was leaving, closed the window, took her hand and walked to the table and sat down, poured her a cup of tea, and asked her to slow down her emotions first.
Sister Hong took a sip of tea, the hand holding the teacup was trembling faintly, Jiang Liuli was even more puzzled when she saw this, it could be seen that she also loved that man very much, what was it that made her so ruthless?
"I actually have a marriage contract with him, at that time my father was still the richest man in the capital, and his family is a scholarly family, it can be said that he is a good friend, my father and his father have been good friends since childhood, after I was born, I was married to him, and then he often came to my house, and we grew up together." After Sister Hong was in a better mood, she began to tell the story between the two.
"When I was fifteen years old, my father was framed and his whole family was beheaded, and if he hadn't tried to save him and his father, even I would have died with my father." Sister Hong said with red eyes.
"I have been living in his house since I was rescued, I should have been grateful to him, but once, his mother suddenly told me that I was no longer worthy of her son, let me let go, don't pester him anymore, I really love him, how can I give up on him easily, until his mother told me that she has found a good family for him, and she is also a young lady of the official family, although he and his father are not in the officialdom, but the family still has some influence in the officialdom." When Sister Hong said this, she suddenly felt a little inferior, although she was a talented woman, her status at this time was far from that of the children of the eunuchs.
"Actually, I wasn't moved by his mother at first, until one time I saw him walking in the garden with the young lady, and although they didn't behave intimately, they still talked happily, and that scene broke my heart, and I always wanted to avenge my father's mother, so I left his house resolutely." At that time, Sister Hong should have been the most desperate time, and her childhood sweetheart's fiancé was talking and laughing with other women, which was definitely the biggest blow.
"Although I really want to take revenge, I have never known who my enemy is, in order to find out the truth, I came to Yishui Pavilion, there are so many dignitaries here, I will definitely find out something." It turned out that this was the reason why Sister Hong walked into the Qinglou.
"When he knew that I came to Yishui Pavilion, he always wanted to take me away, but in order to take revenge, I ruthlessly pushed him away from my side, until with the help of the palace master, I knew who the enemy who killed my father was, but I was even more determined to push him away, that person's identity, even his family did not dare to offend, in order not to affect him, I could only let him stay away from here." Sister Hong lowered her head and said helplessly and heartbrokenly.
Although Jiang Liuli hadn't experienced those, she could feel her helplessness and despair at that time, in order to keep him away from these dangers, she could only be ruthless and hurt him fiercely, but at the same time, she also hurt herself.
"Later, the great revenge was avenged, but I was no longer qualified to be his wife, and a woman lost her most precious thing and no longer had the right to enjoy love." Sister Hong closed her eyes and said in despair.
Jiang Liuli listened to her words and was taken aback, the most precious thing she said was not the one she thought, definitely not.
"What happened during the revenge?" She cautiously asked, if that was the case, how much pain she must have been.
"The palace master once said that he would help me avenge me, but I felt that her plan was too troublesome to implement, so I used myself as bait, and in the end, although the enemy died in my own hands, my •••••• was no longer complete." When Sister Hong said this, her hands were trembling, it was enough to imagine how desperate and scared she was at that time.
Jiang Liuli looked at her with wide eyes, she didn't expect Sister Hong to have this experience, and she also understood why she treated that person so ruthlessly.
"Sister Hong, I'm sorry." She looked at Sister Hong apologetically, if she hadn't insisted on taking care of this matter, Sister Hong wouldn't have mentioned these sad things.
"No one knows about this matter except for the palace master, but now that I say it, I feel better in my heart." Sister Hong smiled reluctantly, having said that, the sadness in her eyes was still very strong.
"Sister Hong, I think you should talk to him well, your way will only make him more painful and unable to let go of you." Jiang Liuli proposed that if the two could be together, it would be the best, if they couldn't be together, they didn't want both of them to be so miserable.
"I'll think about it." Sister Hong did not refuse, indicating that she would really consider her proposal.
After the two talked for a while, Sister Hong went back to her room, she felt that Jiang Liuli was not as indifferent as she seemed on the surface, but through this incident, she felt that she was very kind and treated the people around her very well.
