Chapter 41: The End of the World (2)
Zhang Xinyu suddenly said: "In fact, the business in this place is so good, in addition to the fact that there are many professionals in the imperial capital, the more important reason is the existence of the top of martial arts." ”
"The pinnacle of martial arts?"
"Well, it's normal that you haven't heard of it. In fact, magic martial arts are very ornamental when they are really used in fights. The pinnacle of martial arts provides an opportunity for those who love to watch fights to watch such fights. Specifically, after the pro registers there, he can play the tournament and receive a dividend from the income from ticket sales.
Of course, the dividend ratio will vary depending on the win or defeat. As a result, there is a greater need for equipment replacement or repair, and for drugs to strengthen strength. This has made business very prosperous. ”
Long Tianxiang also wanted to make money like this, but he immediately dispelled this idea. Just kidding, he's a little apprentice mage, and if he goes there, he's looking for death.
Zhang Xinyu said again: "I also wanted to go in and have a look, but the ticket price is too expensive, just to watch an ordinary game, it costs sixty gold coins." Alas, I can only watch other people's tricks here. ”
Long Tianxiang was a little strange and asked, "Do you like to watch these things very much?"
"Like? Not really. It's just that there's nothing to do all day, and I can only rely on these fights to pass the time. ”
Long Tianxiang thought, his mother is the owner of Qingyulou, although he must have no family inheritance, and he can't go to a formal academy to learn magic and martial arts, but with his mother's financial resources, it is always possible for him to go to a school for him to read and write, how can he have nothing to do all day? So he asked, "Didn't Sister Zhang let you go to school?"
"Of course I did. It's just that it retreated again. ”
Long Tianxiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
"Huh. Zhang Xinyu smiled faintly.
When Long Tianxiang saw him for the first time, this Zhang Xinyu saw that he was a boy who said that he could massage, and he was also very unconvinced, just like an ordinary child, showing his contemptuous attitude of frivolity and impetuousness.
However, his current smile seems to contain endless vicissitudes, and his gaze seems to have passed through the limitations of time and space, so long and long.
I only heard him say a little self-deprecatingly: "Do you think that the son of a brothel owner is so easy to be?"
Long Tianxiang was silent, and he suddenly understood why Zhang Xinyu had such an expression.
He could not imagine how a child of a prostitute would be excluded and discriminated against in the group of ordinary children.
He himself is also not a gregarious person, but the loneliness and loneliness he can understand are far inferior to Zhang Xinyu in front of him, because he still has to worry about living, and he can't care about experiencing that kind of taste.
And Zhang Xinyu, who has no worries about food and clothing, doesn't know how many times he has chewed every minute of the strangeness in everyone's eyes and in his heart.
Maybe it was the sympathy complex, Long Tianxiang suddenly felt that the distance between him and the person in front of him had narrowed a lot.
He couldn't help but think from Zhang Xinyu's point of view, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Zhang, how did you open the Qingyu Tower?"
Speaking of which, this Sister Zhang is very unusual, she obviously has a child, but she has a green building, which is really rare, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Xinyu is in this situation. Long Tianxiang then became interested in the origin of Qingyu Tower.
"Qingyulou. Zhang Xinyu muttered with some emotion, and turned his head to look at Long Tianxiang, "My mother used to be the original Oiran of the Qinglou, have you heard of it?"
"Hmm. ”
"My mother was forced by her livelihood to fall into the dust. So when my mother was young, like all women in the world, she was looking forward to finding someone who could stay with her for the rest of her life. The mother is very smart and learns things quickly, so the poetry, singing and dancing are all proficient, and the reputation is getting bigger and bigger.
There are many people who want to take her into their own, but their mother can't look down on her. Because my mother could see that although they were willing to spend money for her, in the final analysis, they only regarded her as a plaything that could be discarded at any time, and they would never be able to entrust their lives to them. Until the mother met the man.
With his qualifications, he could have been favored by the sect and practiced martial arts. However, because his family has no money and power, he can't afford to give the person in charge of recruiting disciples a benefit fee, so he has not been able to get the opportunity to be selected.
He became depressed and lingered in the Fengyue place, venting his depression with his voice. My mother was a very kind person, and once she found him drunk on the street, she kindly sent him back to her room to settle down. In this way, the two met.
He should be a very talented person, because his mother is so deeply in love with him. He knows how to appreciate his mother's art, and his mother loves to listen to him tell stories about the world of magic and vindictiveness. The time of falling in love may be the happiest thing in my mother's life.
And when his mother learned about his difficulties, she resolutely took out all her savings and asked him to get through the relationship.
He also promised his mother that when he succeeded, he would definitely come back to marry his mother. Soon after he left, his mother found out that she was pregnant.
Of course, the prostitute is pregnant to be killed, but the mother refuses to do anything. A brothel doesn't let its cash cow fall like that easily. They couldn't persuade them, so they scolded their mothers and beat them. But the mother refused to give in.
According to Sister Bao, the most powerful time was that she didn't let her mother eat a bite of rice for a week, but even if her mother fainted from hunger, her hand was still tightly hugged on her stomach. Speaking of which, my life is really big, even so, my mother really gave birth to me in the end. But my mother's financial path was cut off because she had given birth to a child.
In fact, people are really strange. My mother is not a Qingqi person who can't sell herself, and she has accompanied customers many times, so what difference does it make if she gives birth to me or not?
However, as soon as the mother has a child, it seems to be polluted, no matter how good the mother's voice is and how good the words are, no one is willing to take care of the mother's business. And since the man left, the mother refused to sell her body anymore, so her income became less and less.
My mother can only make ends meet and support me. Those days were very hard, and I still have a vague impression that at that time, in order for me to be full, it seemed that I only ate one meal a day. Now that I think about it, such a poor life, what supports my mother to persevere, is what I expect from that man.
A few years passed, but the man never came. My mother is a very good person, and many sisters who have a good relationship persuade my mother to give up and become a red man again.
But the mother said that she would not say anything. Until there were rumors that the man died in a fight with someone else. My mother didn't believe it, but the sisters around her said so, but they gradually wavered. During that time, I was often woken up by my mother's crying in the middle of the night, but I didn't know how to comfort my mother, so I could only pretend to be asleep.
The man died, and I became the only sustenance of my mother's feelings for him. In order to let me go to school, and in order to prevent other sisters from suffering like my mother, my mother decided to create a place that could provide a safe haven for women in distress in the world. The mother wants to open a brothel by herself, so that the sisters will no longer be oppressed and humiliated by inhumane.
