Drunk and gentle in the countryside is an indelible dream pursuit in every man's heart, perhaps this has contributed to the enduring pleasure industry. Needless to say, it is a small town like Tongzhen, and the Qinglou Tongxiang Courtyard also occupies the bustling downtown and sings every night.

The sky is getting brighter, and Tongxiangyuan washes away the prosperity and falls into silence. The doors of each room were closed, and only the small servants in the courtyard were cleaning up the mess and preparing for the new night's business.

Xia Zhi carried a bowl of steaming decoction and came all the way to the wing room on the third floor.

Tongxiangyuan follows the layout of the general green building. On the first floor is an open lobby for guests to drink and listen to music. On the second floor are all kinds of private rooms, which are convenient for banquets and business, as well as reception rooms for second-class girls. The third floor is the exclusive room for the upper class girls, dedicated to entertaining distinguished guests, or so-called destined people. The second-class girl was selected by the guests at the row station, but the high-class girl was qualified to choose the guests, so she was able to create all kinds of good stories such as the hard to find side of the money.

At this time, Xia Zhi was standing in front of one of the doors of one of the rooms on the third floor, and he knocked a few times with his free hand. After waiting for a while, a beautiful female voice came from inside, [Who? 】

[It's me, Xia Zhi, who brought you a decoction to the girl. Xia Zhi hurriedly replied. The owner of this house, Conghe, is one of the three top brands of Tongxiang Temple, but Xia Zhi and other subordinates can never afford to offend.

It took a while for me to hear the sentence "Come in." Xia Zhi hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in.

Xia Zhi said while placing the decoction on the table in the outer hall, [Doctor Huang said, this medicine will be better when drunk hot. Stand aside and wait for the bowl to be put away.

In the inner hall, there was a sound of dressing, the beaded curtain was opened, and a graceful and beautiful girl walked out. The clothes are half-exposed, the shawl is spreading, the eyebrows are lightly swept, and the apricot eyes are amorous, although they have not been dressed up, but they have a lazy beauty. It is the most delicate age of women, and no matter how they toss, they are full of charm.

Conghe picked up the bowl, drank half a cup slowly, and complained softly, [This medicine is bitter. Xia Zhi, next time you talk to Dr. Huang and let him improve it. 】

[Dr. Huang said, this prescription can only take effect in this way. No, I also prepared some plums for the girl. Xia Zhi replied with a smile. This card, it's just hard to serve, this contraceptive decoction is a routine, and most of the other girls' decoctions are drunk in the backyard by themselves, and they finish drinking it. The so-called good medicine is bitter, not to mention that it is a traditional prescription that you are used to, so what is the hypocrisy at this time.

The bead curtain was a collision sound again, and Xia Zhi heard the sound and looked over, but it was a strong man in brocade clothes, bah! The guest hasn't even left. Xia Solstice finally understood who this Cong Dut hypocrisy was going to show it.

"What are you drinking?" The strong man asked as he put on his clothes.

[The decoction of my daughter's family, this medicine is very bitter. Speaking of which, this is all resentment against you. From the lotus Jiao, get up and tidy up for the strong man.

The goosebumps on the summer solstice fell to the ground, but the strong man was very useful, and he cooperated with flirting and scolding, [but it hurt my heart.] 】

Xia Zhi wanted to kick the door away, but he had to wait to collect the bowl, and there was still half of this medicine left. [Girl, I'll come back to clean up the dishes later, and I'll step back first.] It's just that this decoction is even more bitter when it is cold, so the girl drank it while it was hot. It's not good to remind directly, let's take retreat as advance, and then remind it with a little kindness.

[It's not bothersome, I'll finish it.] Conghe probably didn't want to go in and out of the summer solstice, and it became more and more troublesome, so he obediently took the medicine and drank it all.

The strong man had already finished dressing, so he was fine, so he asked casually, [Your name is Xia Solstice? Good chic name. 】

Xia Zhi bowed his head and replied respectfully, [It's just a picture that is easy to remember. 】

After drinking the medicine, Conghe put down the bowl with a slightly heavy hand, and said with a smile, [What, are you worried about it? It's just that let her grow for another two years, and after she is finished, she will be taken in. Looking at Xia Zhi's figure, although he has not taken off his child's heart, he should also be a red face after his eyebrows grow, after all, he is the woman's child.

[Ahem, what are you talking about?] All I'm thinking about is you, the little prodigal hoof. The strong man was knowledgeable, grabbed his thin waist, and teased with his words.

[Nasty.] Conghe scolded with a smile, and the whole person stuck again.

Before they moved on to the next step, Xia Solstice quickly packed up and dropped the sentence, "I retreated. Ran away like a rabbit.

Although I have lived in the land of fireworks since I was a child, it is still good to be out of sight of the scene of the love between men and women. Running down the floor, Xia Zhi slowed down and walked to the small hospital in the backyard.

Summer Solstice is an orphan. The biological mother is the top brand of Tongxiang Temple, which was once a smash hit, and no one in the courtyard has hidden this. The best thing that women know is to chew their tongues and gossip when they have nothing to do, and this kind of gossip can't be hidden. The mother had a difficult birth, leaving the newborn baby behind, and no one dared to assert who the father was. Xia Zhi was naturally adopted in this green building. Because it was born on the summer solstice, this solar term became the name of a lifetime.

Qinglou does not raise idlers, and Xia Zhi has been helping in the courtyard since he was sensible. At that time, I was too young to do any heavy work, but it was just the little things like cleaning windows and sweeping the floor. Later, Dr. Huang came to the hospital, and he helped to decoction and deliver medicine, and then this is the responsibility of Xia Zhi.

With Dr. Huang, life is actually okay. Dr. Huang is an old man who is over half a hundred years old, and he is like this in Tongxiang Courtyard. It's nothing more than a cure for a minor illness of a cold and fever, and there is also contraception for each girl. There is not much to do, and the summer solstice is also a diligent errand, and Dr. Huang is happy. Thanks to this, Xia Zhi learned words, understood simple pharmacology, and cherished such treatment.

I thought I could just live like this. Today's joke from Conghe gave the summer solstice a wake-up call. As a daughter's family, and in the Qinglou, a change of thought from the old bustard is enough to turn the life of the summer solstice upside down. She has seen a lot of Qinglou's methods. Except for those who are bent on death and succeed in seeking death, all others are greased and powdered to please the guests and survive, whether they want to or not.

Xia Zhi never thought that he would experience such a situation. She didn't want to die, and she didn't want to live like the girls. Now she is still young, in her teens, and she can still survive safely as a medicine child for the time being. In another year or two, will it really fall into the fate of fireworks as Conghe said?

Strictly speaking, although Xia Zhi is in the Qinglou, he is not bound by any contract. For her, Kirika-in is more like home. It's just that this family is a bit special, and taking a wrong step is a catastrophe, so how to take this first step is crucial. Xia Zhi looked at the few taels of silver in her small vault, and couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that she should make a good plan.
