I forced myself to compose myself, and then thought about what Mr. Lu had taught me. I tried to say in a calm voice: "Sister Hua, don't do it yet. I'm here to discuss something with you. ”

Sister Hua looked at me like a cat looking at a mouse. She said lightly, "What's the matter with you?" ”

I stubbornly said, "I want to redeem myself." ”

Sister Hua was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect me to say such a thing. A disdainful smile appeared on her face: "Redemption? Why? ”

I added another stack of paper money to the fire, yellow paper, on which were drawn gold yuanbao: "With these gold ingots." ”

Sister Hua's face is very ugly. She stared at me and didn't speak.

At this time, I didn't dare to talk too much, and I said too much. I'm going to wait for Sister Hua to make a decision, and then I'll improvise.

She thought for a moment. said: "I didn't expect that you would redeem yourself." That's in order. ”

I thought to myself, "I was captured by you, and according to the rules, I should have escaped." And then I will smash you to a pulp here, and now it is considered a bad rule to redeem yourself in a low spirit. ”

But I didn't say it, I didn't have the guts. The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and I smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then you can let me go, how about it?" ”

Sister Hua looked at me strangely, but did not answer.

I waited anxiously.

After a while, she suddenly said faintly: "When I was alive, why didn't anyone redeem me?" ”

I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when I saw that her face was full of sorrow. I know that ghosts are like people, and it's best not to remind her of bad luck, otherwise, you will be the next one to be unlucky.

I swallowed and foamed at the mouth, and persuaded: "There is no one to redeem me, these ingots are my own." ”

Sister Hua nodded: "You're right. You brought these ingots yourself. Those beautiful women who will help you redeem yourself. It's the same as the talented people I met back then. They are all fake, they lie to you, they make you happy all night, and when you get up at dawn and get dressed, you will continue to be a righteous man and a gentleman. ”

Speaking of this, Sister Hua burst into tears. I saw that the more she talked, the more sad she became, and the feelings gradually came up. If I don't stop her at this time, I'm afraid I won't have a chance.

I coughed lightly, which was a reminder to her, and then said, "Sister Hua, you see the matter of my redemption, you ......"

Sister Hua wiped her eyes dry, and suddenly began to look at me with some ill will.

She walked over step by step. Stop three paces away from me. She said pitifully: "Zhao Caizi." On this flower boat, there are only two people left, can you bear to leave me? ”

I looked at her dumbfounded. Her expression was seductive, and my mind even had a trace of trance. I opened my mouth and was about to blurt out, "Reluctantly." ”

However. That's when I felt a pain in my fingers. I instantly regained my senses. I looked down and saw that the paper money I was holding in my hand was already burning and spreading to my fingers.

I threw the paper money into the fire. coughed lightly and said, "Sister Hua, I am a human being, and I still want to live in the world." So, today I still have to redeem myself. ”

Sister Hua looked at me a little unhappily: "Zhao Cairen, why are you so ruthless? ”

I saw that she was about to get angry, and quickly shook the big knife hidden behind her.

However, Sister Hua's cold face quickly softened. She walked over lightly, her long sleeves fluttering across my face, and said softly, "Even if it is a redemption, I should help you redeem it." From now on, you will stay on my ship and serve me alone, okay? ”

I smelled the scent in my nose, and my mind was already dizzy. But Li Jia's skinny miserable condition kept shaking in front of my eyes, and I finally gritted my teeth and said, "I still want to redeem myself." ”

Sister Hua pushed me, and my body staggered and I fell to the ground.

Sister Hua's face was cold, she looked at me condescendingly, and shouted: "Zhao Mang, don't be ignorant." ”

The big knife was right under me, and my back hurt a little. I looked at her cautiously and didn't speak.

Sister Hua's body was trembling and seemed to be angry. But she finally restrained herself, and she said coldly, "I won't allow you to redeem yourself." ”

Before that, I thought of Sister Hua's various reactions. But I just didn't expect that she would say it bluntly and not allow me to redeem myself.

I thought to myself: Didn't Mr. Lu once say that all ghosts are tendons, and they pay the most attention to the rules in doing things? Why did Sister Hua start playing scoundrels.

So I boldly asked, "The ingots are all here, why don't you allow me to redeem myself?" ”

Sister Hua sneered: "Because the money is not enough." Unless you bring a mountain of gold over, you don't have to think about redeeming yourself. ”

I hurriedly said, "How can this be?" Aren't you asking for a sky-high price? Then I smiled and said, "I'm not worth that much, you can count the money." ”

Sister Hua sneered and said, "Now I am the master of the flower boat. Your worth, I have the final say. ”

Then she sighed faintly and said, "Back then, I was also a twenty-eight beauty, and a poor scholar fell in love with me, sold his family's broken house, sold his cattle to plough the fields, and scraped together ten taels of silver. It's a pity that at that time I was the cash cow of the owner of the flower boat, how could she let me go, opened her mouth, and offered a price of 1,000 taels of silver, and the poor scholar knew that he had no ability to redeem me, so he shed tears and left. Before leaving, he told me to wait for him, and when he became famous and became an official, he must bring a thousand taels of silver in exchange for me. ”

I tried to ease her feelings, and said with a grin, "Isn't that good?" There is still true love in the world, and you don't have to worry about any negative people. ”

Sister Hua sneered: "True love? After the poor scholar left, I never saw him again. Until twenty years later, I was thirty-six years old. At this time, the poor scholar gave ten taels of silver, and the boss must have sold me happily, but unfortunately, no one is willing to pay anymore. ”

"That night, I poured myself a drink at the bow of the boat. Suddenly, I heard gongs and drums on the shore, and a group of men and horses came over. I hid in the flower boat and felt sorry for myself. After a while, the boss walked in, with a respectful attitude, and she told me: The poor scholar back then had been the ruler and ransomed me with a thousand taels of silver. ”

I saw Sister Hua with an impatient smile on her face, and I couldn't help but be happy for her, but looking at her now, I felt that something was faintly wrong.

Sister Hua's voice was very cheerful: "That night, I was really happy, to be honest, I really didn't expect that the poor boy would soar, and I didn't expect that he actually remembered the oath of the year." At that time, I really thought that I had met true love. ”

"On the flower boat, I acted as a window for cloud sideburns, and applied yellow to the mirror. Cover up the wrinkles with fat powder, and follow the boss out to meet the scholar. Twenty years have passed, and he is also old. But I still recognized him at first sight. He was even more handsome. The entourage behind him held a plate covered with red silk, and silver ingots were neatly arranged, which was really a thousand taels of silver. ”

I stepped forward and whispered his name, but ...... But he didn't recognize me. The boss has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, what else does he not understand? She pointed at me nervously and said, "This is our flower sister, the leading Oiran on the flower boat." ”

Sister Hua said this, and laughed miserably: "I gave up the name of this Oiran ten years ago. At this time, the boss suddenly made me an oiran, just to make the poor scholar feel that his thousand taels of silver were worth it. "Stay around the pond to carry.

It's a pity that the poor scholar was not fooled. He looked at me and asked, "How did you get so old?" ”

I was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer. There were tears in his eyes, but he didn't let them flow. This is not for any self-esteem, how can the singer on the flower boat have self-esteem? The reason why I didn't shed tears was because I was worried that the tears would wash away the fat powder and show wrinkles. ”

Sister Hua sighed faintly: "The boss and the poor scholar negotiated the price in front of me. At this time, even the sleeves are too lazy to use it. The boss said eight hundred taels, and the poor scholar was silent. The boss said six hundred taels, but the poor scholar remained silent. The two of them were in a stalemate for half the night, and finally it became ten taels. ”

"But even these ten taels of silver, the poor scholar can't bear it."
