x|||||It took seven days, and in an unknown number of scolding, cursing, and crying, the new women finally learned their first skill, which was laughter. He Zhitang is easy to learn. He Zhilan is difficult to learn, under the training of bamboo boards. In the end, I finally learned to smile charmingly with tears in my eyes.

In the next three halls, Cui Niang looked at the women left by Honggu and sighed. In the same Huayuefang, the status of the lower three halls is far inferior to the upper three halls.

In the upper three halls, it was the first grade of the dynasty that came, and he had to call "girl" respectfully, and when he met the Qing people, he wanted to have some non-dividing thoughts, and he had to measure them. Most of the people who walk in the three halls are people with status, and with identity, they naturally want to save face, and the girls can also suffer less.

It's troublesome in the next three halls, most of the generals who come are military generals, soldiers and oil, and when they come, they go straight to the topic, and they don't need poetry and songs. But the physical strength is too good, and often tosses the girls so much that they can't get out of bed for a few days. Even if there are some people who know books and etiquette, they will do some things that are not literary when they get to the next three halls.

Cui Niang looked at these women, and her heart was a little sour. It turned out that they were all good girls from big families, and they didn't know who they offended. You have to be treated by these inhuman people. Cui Niang looked at these women one by one, and they all shrank back in fright, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at her. Yes, it must have been cleaned up at Honggu's again.

Cui Niang asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to bring some food, let them eat first, and sit aside and watch slowly. I was also thinking about who to assign to which hall and what to do. Although the next three halls are engaged in the skin and meat business. But there are also quite a few doorways inside. Cui Niang looked at a bunch of women who couldn't care about their image, and suddenly noticed one, although the clothes were dirty and torn, and the hair was scattered, but the appearance was really outstanding, even if she looked sick now, she also had a bit of a sick taste.

Cui Niang stretched out her finger and asked, "What's your name?" What did it do? ”

Xiao Tao was half leaning against the wall, eating the rice in her hand without a bite, and when she heard someone asking, she barely opened her eyes, and Ruosu on the side answered for her: "Her name is Taoyi." Originally, he was serving the eldest lady. ”

Cui Niang nodded, and asked again, "What disease do you have?" ”

Ruo Su stammered and replied: "Before, I was kicked by He Gongzi before, and Lang Zhonglai prescribed medicine, but before he could be raised, he was locked up in the teaching workshop." Here it is again. ”

Cui Niang frowned, it's not tuberculosis, it's good to recuperate from trauma, this is a good material, clean up and polish it, and it can support the next three halls. It's been many years since there has been a decent girl in the next three classes. Cui Niang was interested: "Go and ask Lang Zhong to treat her well." ”

After seven or eight days, Xiao Tao has also gotten better, her face has a ruddy luster, and she no longer coughs up blood after taking medicine on her body. It's just that the pain under the ribs is still tight, and Lang Zhong gave a prescription, so that if you insist on taking it for a month, you will be able to make a good profit.

Cui Niang saw that Xiao Tao was also walking freely, so she gathered the new girl together, gave a general introduction to the workshop, and then said: "What we are in is the next three classes. The next three halls are prostitutes, and they are engaged in the skin and meat business. ”

As soon as the words fell, the women gathered together were already red-faced and trembling slightly. Cui Niang smiled faintly: "Don't be afraid, don't be scared as soon as you talk about prostitution." Prostitutes also have rules for prostitution, as long as you follow the rules, life will not be very hard. ”

"Those who come to the next three halls have many military attaches and have a straightforward temperament. Therefore, the advantage of playing three classes is that you don't have to learn those Laoshzi who play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you are more comfortable. and the reward is no less. But the next three halls serve the body of the official, and it is not to lie down and finish the work, naturally there are all kinds of wonders, and I will train you step by step in the future. ”

Cui Niang paused and said, "I changed your name today." The upper three halls are the names of flowers, and the lower three halls are the names of the moons. So Xiao Tao changed her name to Yaoyue, Yun Niang changed her name to Biyue, and Ruosu changed her name to Suyue XXXXX

After changing her name, Cui Niang continued: "The first skill to learn in the next three classes is not to escape. As he spoke, he looked at the stunned women around him, smiled and said, "There are some women who don't know why, as soon as they hear that Xia Santang is in the leather and meat business, they always have to find a way to slip away." But don't you want to think about it, the next three halls also belong to the teaching workshop, and the imperial court opened it, can you let it run casually? I've been in Huayuefang for fifteen years, and there are thousands of women who have come and gone, and none of them can escape. ”

"In fact, if you think about it carefully, in addition to the different ways of pleasing the officials, what is the difference between the upper three halls and the lower three halls? I can't redeem it, I have to stay here until I am old, I have to stay here until I die. Facing the official who ushered in the send-off, he entered this door and fell in love with each other, and he didn't know each other when he went out of this door. Don't expect anyone to treat you sincerely. So I don't think it makes a difference. Even if you mix well in the last three classes, and give the title of an "insider", won't you laugh for a lifetime? It's all in vain. If you stay in the next three classes, you can live comfortably for a lifetime. ”

After Cui Niang finished speaking, she raised her hand and called someone in: "Call Song Po here." He turned to look at everyone and said, "Don't be afraid, Song Po is here to give you a physical examination, the girl here is not broken, and she can sell it for a good price for the first time." If you're lucky enough to meet someone who values affection, you might just follow him. Okay, go for it. ”

Xiao Tao's hand was clenched tightly, and she looked at Cui Niang and asked, "What else can you do besides the skin and meat business?" ”

Cui Niang was stunned for a moment, and looked at her face sank: "You don't want to?" ”

Xiao Tao bit her lip, raised her eyes to look at Cui Niang and said resolutely: "Before the He family committed the crime, I had already promised someone to be a concubine. Also XXX committed to him, I can't be sorry for him. As soon as Xiao Tao's words fell, the women next to her all looked at her. Ruo Su opened her mouth wide in disbelief, and Yun Niang spat at her back.

Cui Niang looked at the serious little peach and "snorted", there is still this kind of stupid girl? couldn't help but sneer: "There is really no other good work in the next three halls." It doesn't take you to serve tea and pour water, and you are not allowed to do such light work. Who do you think you are? The family members of the criminal ministers are official prostitutes, and the court is punishing you, not letting you enjoy happiness, so how can there be a good job? ”

With a wave of his hand, he asked the others to go over for a physical examination first, leaving Xiao Tao alone. With such a good appearance, she is really reluctant to waste it. Cui Niang raised her hand to lift Xiao Tao's face, pinched her body again, and said softly to Xiao Tao: "With your qualifications, I dare to guarantee that there are so many women in Huayuefang, I don't dare to say it in the upper three halls, and you must be in the next three halls." Life is not bad, so why be stupid? "Do your best.

Xiao Tao shook her head, the He family suffered this accident, for her, it was like a dream. He Zhixun's kick kicked her into the deep sea that was almost suffocating, and her only piece of driftwood was sucked away.

All she felt was cold. When she struggled to wake up, the once high-rise Yaotai was drunk with gold and money, but it only became the four walls of the teaching workshop. The people around her have become the playthings of the workshop, and even the eldest and second ladies have become forced smiles, and despair almost engulfs her again and again. She didn't know how many times she woke up crying in the middle of the night, the only thing she could think of was Qi Gongzi, the only man in her life. But where is he?

I still remember that when he left, he carried a body of residual poison that sealed his throat with blood, I don't know how he is now? Did he know he was in the workshop? If his body is dirty, what face will he have to see him again?

Xiao Tao knelt on the ground, pulled the corner of Cui Niang's skirt and said, "Please, don't let me serve other men." I can't be sorry for him, I really can't. ”

Cui Niang patted Xiao Tao's shoulder, sighed and said, "Do you still want to see him again?" No matter who you are, but after all, you didn't have the status of a serious person, so you followed the He family here. When you get here, you can only be the girl of Huayuefang, and everything in the past will be erased. Even if he comes back, he won't want you anymore. ”

Seeing that Xiao Tao was stunned, Cui Niang continued: "He doesn't dislike you secondly, your identity has become a cheap and fell to Huayuefang." No matter what his identity is, according to the rules of the court, he can't redeem you. And to whom do you keep it? ”

Xiao Tao's brain boomed, she couldn't be ransomed? She's going to stay here for the rest of her life? She will never see Qi Gongzi again? Xiao Tao shook her head desperately: "No, no." ”

Cui Niang looked at Xiao Tao a little crazy, and reluctantly let her subordinates in: "First lock her in the ice room to be quiet." He added, "The first room will do." ”

There are several ice houses in Huayuefang, which lead from underground to aboveground. The innermost is a house like a snow cave, and it won't take half an hour to freeze and faint, so you can store some food and so on? A pool of ice blisters in the middle? The outermost room is a buffer room, and the cold air in the last two rooms blows here, and the temperature is a little lower than that of a normal room. Often in order to punish some disobedient girls, they will be locked up here.

Xiao Tao was locked up here, and as soon as the cold wind blew, the old wound began to ache faintly. I can't stop coughing. Cui Niang's words pierced her heart like an awl. She can't get out of Huayuefang again? She will serve all kinds of men in the rest of her life? She couldn't take it.

Cui Niang closed Xiao Tao, and she felt a little unbearable, Xiao Tao is indeed the most outstanding in this batch of official prostitutes, in case there is something wrong with the cold, how can she serve the officials in the future. Inevitably, he ordered his subordinates to send some clothes to Xiao Tao to eat.

Xiao Tao was locked up for half a month, and her body, which was about to heal, couldn't stand it anymore, and gradually began to cough up blood again, and she was also groggy, and the only dream she had in the confusion was that Qi Gongzi smiled at her gently, but every time she wanted to pull his sleeve, he was pulled out hard. In how many drowsy dreams, Xiao Tao muttered to herself lonely and desperate: "Master Qi, where are you?" ”
