"Oh? I thought my husband was using a pseudonym. ”

The emperor seemed to be very happy today, beckoned the eunuch to move the stool and give him a seat, and talked about the "Bashan Picture" again.

The brushstrokes in the painting are emotional, the experience when painting, Yu Shu answered one by one, about the same brother and the same person who loves painting, when the two talked with a lot less monarchs and ministers to avoid taboos, Yu Shu relaxed a lot of people and talked about the painting endlessly, unique insights, and couldn't help but make the emperor impressed a little more.

was seeing each other and chatting late, until Fu'an entered the main hall and reported that Lord Zhou, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was waiting in the Yangxin Palace, and it seemed that he had something important to ask to see the emperor........

The two found out that they had chatted for a long time unconsciously, and seeing that the sun was getting late, the emperor was still unsatisfied, but he had to send her out of the palace: "I arranged for Mr. to go to the Kangping Mansion to live for a few days, and when the house is repaired, how about Mr. move over?" ”

As soon as Yu Shu heard the words "King Kangping", his face immediately changed, his brain was empty all of a sudden, and his ears were buzzing.

Fu'an next to her saw that something was wrong, and touched her arm with a whisk to remind her to hurry up and thank her, Yushu came back to her senses, turned her head and looked over, and saw the emperor with an inquiring look, and the torch-like gaze looked straight at her back in a cold sweat, lowered her head, and knelt down in a panic to thank her: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Yushu has dressed as a man for many years, and she has faded to immaturity at a young age, and she acts steadily and has a little man's edges and corners, so as not to be exposed, others only think that she looks feminine, and it is not strange that there is no shortage of feminine men nowadays. In the future, you can stay in the palace under the same roof, if it is.........

She didn't dare to think about it, and her heart was as anxious as if it was baked on a fire.

Now there is no way to retreat, just ask the Nine Princes not to go back to the house to entertain her, she thought about it before she came, it is inevitable to meet the old people in Beijing, and those who can recognize it will quietly admit it, and those who can't recognize it will grit their teeth and die and not let go, who will embarrass a little person who paints? Never be so unsuspecting to bump into someone you don't want to see, let alone the first person to see him..........

Just sigh, no matter what kind of mood you were in back then, the four years of time have also precipitated the sorrows of these years, and the old things have sunk into the pond, leaving only memories surging from time to time. The years have ravaged people's hearts, and no matter how fragile they are, they have gradually been polished hard.

Walking out of the palace and walking on the street, Yu Shu looked at the familiar old archways and renovated time-honored restaurants, the capital seems to have never changed, it is still the warm sunset, obliquely hitting the stone road, every inch of the ground seems to be pouring out of the memories of invisible people, is the deepest secret in her heart.

The sunset, which was indistinguishable from four years ago, and even six years ago, shone on the hexagonal pavilion in the west, and countless past events rushed straight to her heart, and her mind was dizzy, until she got into the carriage of the palace, and people were still in a trance.

Yu Shu woke up like a dream, and couldn't tell whether this was a carriage leaving Beijing or going to Kangping Palace. I can't tell if those two years were dreams or if these six years were dreams.

In a trance, the scene changed and changed, that year, she was still a prostitute in Qinglou, and he was a merry prince.

That year, the largest brothel in Beijing was Xunfang Pavilion in the northwest corner of the inner city.

Xunfang Pavilion falls three floors, Biwa Zhu eaves, hexagonal spire, the top layer is listed with a plaque Spring Breeze Pavilion. At the entrance, the round door hangs a curtain, and the wooden rafters are inscribed, making "the garden of the world, looking for Fang Pavilion in Beijing", which is quite elegant.

The women of Xunfang Pavilion are versatile, moving, chanting poems, playing the piano and painting, singing and dancing, all of which can be found here, and they are extremely talented and have excellent kung fu.

Not only did the princes and nobles gather here to have fun, but many literati and scholars were also happy to come here to be vassals and elegant.

The owner of Xunfang Pavilion is Shi Hongzhi, the largest businessman in the capital, ---, and the master of the Shi family is good at making friends. Most of the guests who come to the pavilion are of noble status, and ordinary people can't enter.

Therefore, there is no shortage of poor families, and they always want to sell their daughters to earn a rich future.

The women who can enter the Fang Pavilion must be carefully selected, either they have been cultivated since childhood, or they are the daughters of the family, in short, it is difficult for ordinary women to enter the pavilion, let alone serve people.

But a child like Yu Shu, Mrs. Shi of Xunfang Pavilion glanced at it but hesitated.

He Jiayuan is not from the capital, and his hometown is Jincheng, Shanxi. Fifteen years ago, He Xiucai took his newlywed wife to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival, and stayed in the capital directly after the end.

In the second year, Mrs. He was pregnant and gave birth to a son, He Xiucai was overjoyed, and held a banquet to entertain the guests.

Back then, He Xiucai was full of economy and talent, especially when he painted ink painting very well, and everyone rushed to echo him and say some nice words to make him happy.

Unexpectedly, fifteen years have passed, and He Xiucai has taken the total exam five times, not to mention Huiyuan, and he didn't even enter the list.

He Xiucai is conceited, and with the arrogance of a scholar, he is always pretentious and refuses to farm, let alone engage in business.

The He family, who had a bit of a family background, finally had four walls, and when they got to the back, they all relied on Mrs. He to do some handiwork at home and exchange some rice oil.

What is embarrassing is that having reached this kind of field, He Xiucai is actually hooked on gambling! Ten gambles and nine losses, one day a gamble owed a big debt, He Xiucai's eyes were dark, this gambling debt his family couldn't afford to pay off in two lifetimes!

He looked at his youngest daughter, although Yu Shu was only thirteen years old, her appearance was already amazing, and he had heard that Xunfang Pavilion in Beijing would recruit beauties in the capital every May........

The He family also has a son who continues the incense, and it is worth selling his daughter for his son's future.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't stand his interests, so he slapped his thigh and decided to let Mrs. He take Yushu to Xunfang Pavilion.

Where would Mrs. He be willing, this palm and back of her hand are full of meat, no matter how poor the family is, she can't sell her daughter! What is the difference between tiger poison and animals? scolded He Xiucai on the spot!

What is this Xunfang Pavilion?

It is said that it is an elegant place for dignitaries to listen to music, and if it is unpleasant, it is a kiln that sings every night!

Even if I heard that most women are geisha with excellent talent and appearance, and they don't sell their bodies, which man who might go to that kind of place is not lustful?

Yu Shucai thirteen! is as beautiful as a flower, how can she be willing to send her daughter to the fire pit?

He Xiucai is also a scholar, and he can't stand being scolded by a woman like this! suddenly turned his face and hit Mrs. He hard.

Mrs. He cried and refused to send Yushu away, but He Xiucai had already been blinded by lard, and she was determined to sell Yushu.

He persuaded Mrs. He bitterly: It is unfair to Yu Shu to leave Yu Shuqiang at home and follow them to endure hardships now.

Yu Shusheng's good-looking nature is a blessing, if it weren't for the fact that he was too young to propose marriage, he would be able to pick a good person who broke through the threshold.

There is no way to send it to Xunfang Pavilion, maybe it will be married home by a rich and noble family as a concubine, and the one who eats fragrant and drinks spicy food is the best destination for Yushu. Besides, he was confused and owed gambling debts for a while, so can the gambling house let them go? In case Yushu is caught and repaid by the debt, it is not enough, and Brother Cong is taken away and sold into the kiln as a male prostitute, then it will really be over.......

Mrs. He is not a particularly strong person, and she obeys her husband on weekdays.

It's just that today I heard that I was going to sell my own flesh and blood, and the mother was just now, so this was the first time I sprinkled on He Xiucai, she had no culture to tie her whole life to her husband, from marrying to her husband, three from four virtues, she had never disobeyed her husband in her life, otherwise, She would have stopped He Xiucai when she went to the casino.

Now listening to her husband's intimidation, and the patriarchy in her bones, she can't help but be a little shaken.

In addition, He Xiucai fanned the flames next to him and said how thick the silver ticket was, and what did our family have to buy after taking the silver ticket, and life would be much better.

The heart that coaxed Mrs. He was very excited. In addition, his son hadn't eaten well for two days, and everyone was hungry and thin, so he finally turned his heart and took Yushu to Xunfang Pavilion at night.

Before Mrs. He went out, she put on new clothes for Yushu to wear for the New Year, and pinned the last jewelry she hid at the bottom of the box ----- an old plain silver hairpin, and looked left and right There was nothing wrong, so she wiped her tears and took Yushu to the northwest corner of the city secretly, along a small road, to the side gate of Xunfang Pavilion.

Selling children and daughters is not a shameful thing in the era when there is not enough to eat.

But at that time, it was a peaceful and prosperous era and there was no war, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the world was peaceful.

In addition, He Xiucai, a scholar, has always looked at face, and repeatedly told Mrs. He to leave as soon as possible when there was no one around, for fear that some acquaintances would see and laugh at him, otherwise he would not have begged Mrs. He to do such a sinful thing.

After hesitating for a while, Mrs. He finally knocked on the door. A little girl opened the door and poked her head out, looked at their mother and daughter with a smile, and when she saw the beautiful Yushu, she understood the purpose of coming here, and said to Mrs. He with a smile: "Come with me, the chief steward is on the third floor." ”

Mrs. He nodded, and led the little Yushu to follow the maid upstairs.

He Xiucai and Mrs. He disciplined their son wholeheartedly, not much to educate Yu Shu, but Yu Shu was enlightened late by nature, less lively and more wooden than his peers, curious about everything but also quiet, while looking at the cabinet display, while obediently following Mrs. He.

When she arrived on the third floor, Yu Shu saw the director of Xunfang Pavilion, Wang Zhishi, not only Wang Zhishi, but also a woman with kind eyebrows, luxurious clothes and heavy headdresses, sitting on the Taishi chair with a pleasant face, holding a teacup in her hand and looking at her carefully.

Director Wang smiled and introduced to Mrs. He, saying that it was a coincidence today, and the one in front was Mrs. Shi, the hostess of Xunfang Pavilion, since Mrs. is here, whether the little girl can enter Xunfang Pavilion is up to Mrs.

When Mrs. He saw the big man for the first time, she first led Yu Shu to salute in a panic, and then opened her mouth hesitantly.
