Fragrance on Red Sleeves (II) (I)

The sixth sister reacted quickly, and walked to the brown-clothed scribe and said, "Master." ”

The brown-clothed scribe waved his hand and said to the gray-clothed man beside him, "Take your woman to her own room to talk." ”

The man in gray quickly took the sixth sister's hand and withdrew.

Redsleeves still stood there stiff.

"Why, to see me so reluctant?" The brown-clothed scribe looked at the red sleeves coldly.

"No," Red Sleeves lowered his head and also blessed: "I didn't know that you had already returned to Beijing, just a little bit else." ”

"It's good if you don't have it," the brown-clothed scribe didn't look at her, but just reached out and gently plucked the guqin next to him, and the sound of dingdong was very pleasant: "Go and clean it up." ”

"Yes." Red Sleeves quickly walked into the next washing room and lowered the curtain, and soon the sound of bathing water could be heard.

The scribe slowly walked to the window on the west side, from which he could see everything in the inner courtyard of the Tenyin Pavilion. The small courtyard of the red sleeves is in the easternmost part of the Tianyin Pavilion, not in the main road, slightly remote, but it is the only three-story building in the Tianyin Pavilion, so standing on the top floor, through the layers of shade, you can see the general scenery of the courtyard. At this time, it was the busiest time of the Tianyin Pavilion, and the servants and servants were busy shuttling around the courtyard, delivering all kinds of things that the guests needed. You can also see that there are many new guests, who follow the guests to various private rooms. The front hall is also full of guests, and there are singers and musicians performing on the stage. From time to time, there are some famous actors invited from the major teams to sing a paragraph or two.

Busy and noisy, is the outline of the evening of Tianyin Pavilion. The scribe frowned a little, this was really not his intention, he wanted to have a special place, and the guests came to listen to the music. Of course, the ultimate goal is to have enough popularity, in addition to making money, you can also accumulate popularity. So he got a very capable shopkeeper, the boss of the place. This boss is really capable, and has run this place well, becoming the premier place in the capital, and also bringing him rich returns and popularity. The only thing he didn't have was the elegance he wanted. However, the shopkeeper said that the place where guests are most willing to spend a lot of money is definitely related to the word voice. He usually has a lot of affairs, and he can't manage so much, and he collects a lot of money every year, so he has nothing to blame the boss.

When Redsleeves came out of the washing room, he watched him stand in front of the window and think about something. She consciously combed her hair and walked to the bedside.

"Did you go to Tang Xinjie today?" The scribe asked suddenly, not looking back.

Redsleeves honestly replied yes.

"What's the catch."

"It's nothing, he's not at home, and he's seen his woman. It's beautiful. It's also very good at getting into trouble, and I didn't get a good deal with her with her. ”

"Oh," the scribe didn't say anything, just looked at the courtyard and didn't move, "Then you have to walk around more and weigh what kind of person Tang Sanshao Grandma is." As before, if there is any news or news, you have to report it to me. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

"Let's talk about a few tunes first." After a while, he said, not looking back, still looking outside.

"What does the master want to hear?" Red Sleeves shuddered a little.

"Do you need to ask?" The voice was extremely cold.

Red Sleeves didn't dare to say anything more, walked to the side of the incense tripod and closed it, took two smokers out of the cabinet, sprinkled them with two special spices respectively, and after lighting them, put the two smokers in different corners of the room, and the two fragrances would slowly mix in the air for a while. Then I went to the cabinet and took out a set of black gauze skirts to change into, sorted out the clothes and sat down in front of the guqin, collected my mind and adjusted my breath, put my hand on the strings, and calmed down again before starting to play.

First, there is an ancient song "Qingfang", and then a mournful song "Jiangling Ci", which is widely circulated in the south, and the tactful sound of the piano is like crying. Just after the second part of the piece, the scribe walked up behind her from the window, and the incense in the room was now mixed into a grassy scent with the scent of lilacs. He walked over slowly, reached out and picked up a strand of her hair draped behind him, stroked it gently, closed his eyes, and inhaled deeply the smell of grass in the air, with a quiet smile on his face. Red Sleeves was tense at this time because of nervousness, and even the hand stroking the qin trembled a little, and the rhythm became more poignant.

The green silk is pulled more and more in the hand, and the tighter it is pulled. In the end, Redsleeves had to arch his body backwards to reduce the pain in his scalp. Although the piano in my hand has not stopped, it has made mistakes again and again.

Many guests in the courtyard have heard the red sleeves touching the qin, and since Qingfang's song, there have been good deeds who have come to the courtyard to listen to it. The red sleeves never entertained guests in their own courtyard, with the exception of one person they knew, who was said to be Tang Sangongzi, who was once the only guest who had the right to enter. The change in the sound of the piano inevitably aroused their suspicions, could it be that there were other guests in the Red Sleeves who had privileges? There is a quick response, remembering that Tang Sangongzi has returned to Beijing, could it be that Tang Sangongzi is here?

"Didn't you say that Tang Sangongzi is now concentrating on spoiling his fiancée? How did you come here? ”

"Everybody's a man, do you need to say that?" The person next to him laughed. Yes, a man has three wives and four concubines, and it is normal to come out and walk around and find a woman. The wives of the family are used to take care of the children and honor the elders, and the women outside are used to relax and recreation. Everyone felt that they understood each other, and they laughed and talked and guessed. As if to confirm their suspicions, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the faint screams of the red sleeves were heard. And they all dispersed in understanding.

At this time, Redsleeves' hands were tied with the ribbon that had once adorned her waist, and she was thrown face down on the bed. The man quickly removed the restraints from the two of them and began to make big moves. Red Sleeves trembled, and his heart was terrified. What she is afraid of is not being violated, anyway, she is not innocent, but she is afraid of this punishment of being used as a stand-in by her master, and while feeling that her body is torn, she is still afraid that she doesn't know how he will torture her next. I only heard this person muttering some words that people didn't understand as usual, why do you dare to persuade her to leave this king, do you think you two can escape if you get married? Even if you two become corpses, you can't escape...

When the sixth sister came back again, it was already dawn. The master went out and called her husband to leave with him. She was tossed all night, and she was tired, so she went to wash up and eat something before she came to see Red Sleeves. Pushing open the door, the smell inside was still very strong, and she frowned unconsciously.

When I walked into the room, I saw Red Sleeves lying on the bed sluggishly, covered with bruises and scars. The sixth sister sighed, the master looked so elegant and alone, why was he so ruthless to the red sleeves? The sixth sister waited for the red sleeves to finish cleaning, and after taking the medicine, it was almost noon, and the two of them ate a little, and the red sleeves went out with ten taels of gold and went to Guifang Xiaozhu. When she left, the sixth sister asked her where she was going, and she said that she told her sisters that she was going to buy the best jasmine powder in the capital, and the girls could use it for makeup in the afternoon and play in the evening. The sixth sister was a little surprised, usually after the master came, the red sleeves would nest in the house for a few days to recuperate, what happened to her today? What kind of Fan Tianyin Pavilion doesn't have it? How many men, in order to please the women here, go to the best fat powder store in the capital and buy it for them at a large price. The guy at the fat powder shop also often comes to deliver goods happily, do you still need the girl to go out and buy it herself? and ten taels of gold. No matter how precious the fat powder is, don't want ten taels of gold.

Of course, the sixth sister didn't know, last night the master confessed to Red Sleeves, and further dated Tang Xinjie's fiancée to find out her background and true identity. If she doesn't make any progress in ten days, he will punish her next time. And she herself is curious about what this woman is really like. When she met her yesterday, she was a little fond of this woman, she was so peaceful and gentle, and she was very smart. She and Hualu are both veterans of the party, and they have seen countless people, but even so, the result of the discussion between the two of them on the way back yesterday was that they still couldn't see through her. I don't know who she really is, what kind of way of doing things and what is her bottom line? If she is the main room, and Hualu and her are the outer room, what is her attitude towards these women?

Red Sleeves looked at his red and swollen right arm, with two deep rows of tooth marks on it, This man like a vicious dog is not something that ordinary people can deal with. If she wants to ascend to heaven again, she must have a protector. I don't know if Tang Sanshao has this ability, or if the woman who is about to become his wife will be a hindrance. Instead of guessing, it's better to go straight to make friends with her.

Just when the red-sleeved carriage was about to turn onto Nanqin Road Street, I saw a simple carriage turning from Nanqin Road. Although Red Sleeves didn't know the car, she knew the driver, the long-term entourage who used to be by Xinjie's side. Xinjie doesn't ride in a car, only rides a horse, and this long entourage follows, presumably the woman inside. She immediately ordered her carriage to follow.

The carriage went all the way north, passed through the downtown area, and entered a small alley next to the Flower and Bird Market in the north of the city, and the carriage stopped at the door of an ordinary house. The carriage with red sleeves also stopped, and the red sleeves hesitated a little, I don't know who is in this courtyard, Why is the third young grandmother of the Tang family here, but she followed, It is not appropriate not to say hello, when she hesitated, she heard the long entourage come and ask: "Is the girl with red sleeves in the car?" ”

"Yes!" Redsleeves hurriedly lifted the curtain and replied.

"Red-sleeved girl, my cousin said, if it's a red-sleeved girl, please get out of the car and go around with her."

"Here?" Red Sleeves asked suspiciously, looking up to see Lian'er standing at the door waiting for her.
