Chapter 431: Young Man
Linchun Tower has been lively for half the night, and all the men are fascinated by Zhong Xiao and Xiao Fengxian. At this time, the northern women were born tall, and some women had more strength than men, and they were all commonplace, and the grace of the southern women, such as holding their faces in a dream, gently washing with water, silently affectionate, made people can't help but be intoxicated.
Talents, especially Li Gongzi and Xu Hui, are even more diligent in composing poems, which can be regarded as ten wine fights.
It's a pity that no matter how hard the son tried tonight, he didn't impress the beauty in the end.
The old bustard broke up the party and went out of the big wallet for the night's stay, and the other bustards invited someone to send them off, so the sons had to shake their heads and sigh, leave depressedly, and look in the direction of the Zhong Xiao sisters, indicating that they would come back tomorrow.
Chen Yuan silently watched them perform, did not go down to fight poetry, he was in a complicated mood, and he didn't know how to face it, just drank with his brother-in-law.
Hua Qinglou was pulled by the ears of the chrysanthemum lady and went to another room, what to do is self-explanatory. In the middle of the night, Linchun Tower suddenly fell silent. Chen Yuan sighed, got up, and prepared to go back.
At this time, the door was opened, and a pretty girl came in and asked, "Is it Chen Gongzi?"
Chen Yuan was curious, he hadn't called Chen Gongzi for a long time, and nodded, "I am, is there something wrong?"
"Miss Zhong wants to invite Childe to the room." After the maid finished speaking, she looked at Chen Yuan with some curiosity. That calm bearing is indeed rare. From the sons who came to the Spring Building, the appearance of the Chen Gongzi in front of him can only be regarded as average, and the clothes are shabby, I don't know why Miss Zhong rejected all the sons, why did she invite him alone? But I can't see what he's hiding deeply.
She wants to see me? Chen Yuan hesitated, in the middle of the night, there was a lot of inconvenience, to be honest, he shouldn't interfere in other people's lives, but seeing her "so depraved", he felt a pity, go and see it, he thought in his heart. When she looked up, she found that the maid looked at herself fixedly, touched her nose and smiled, "What, are you afraid that I'm a fake?"
The maid woke up, blushed, and hurriedly said, "Miss Zhong is in the room diagonally opposite, Chen Gongzi, please."
Chen Yuan nodded and said to his brother-in-law, "You wait for me first."
The brother-in-law is very resentful, watching the tryst between his brother-in-law and the woman, he feels that his sister is wronged. Chen Yuan sneered and said, "I'll come when I go." After speaking, he went out with the girl.
When she arrived at Zhong Xiao's room, she was the only one inside, and the maid poured the tea, then pushed the door and exited softly.
In the house, the pink gauze tent and the fragrant embroidery bed. There are some dim lamps and candles, the people in the mirror are as pink as jade, she has no makeup, red lips, and transparent gauze clothes.
Lonely men and widows together, Chen Yuan couldn't help but want to swallow his saliva, and laughed: "Miss Zhong, didn't you say to go back to Nanjing? What?"
Zhong Xiao said angrily: "When did I say that I was going back to Nanjing, what's more, I am a woman, running around for life, I can go wherever I want."
Chen Yuan was choked.
"Come and sit, you stand by the door, am I a flood beast, let you be so far away from me."
Chen Yuan sneered, walked to the table carefully, was repeatedly urged forward by her, and when he sat down, he was only three centimeters away from her, and even his breathing could be heard clearly.
At this time, Chen Yuan realized that there was also a bit of fatigue in her charming face.
"Miss Zhong, with your talent, where you can't go, why bother to come to this land of fireworks to entertain people."
Miss Zhong's face was hot when she heard this, and it took a while for her mood to calm down, staring at Chen Yuan, and laughing, "What do you think I can do? We women are not like you men, we can still be a teacher, what about us? Not only can I not enter the school, my knowledge is useless, if I sit with others for a while, it will lower the status of others, and I have no place to settle down except here. You are a high and lofty lord, and you can count our lowly status and self-degenerate."
Chen Yuan frowned, what she said was the truth, the woman in the Qinglou will always be inferior, and immediately defended: "I never mean to count you, I just don't want to ——!."
"Don't want to do anything?"
Chen Yuan didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart, so he turned his head away.
Thinking of the beauty of that night, he held it ruthlessly, Miss Zhong was angry when she thought about it, you let me fend for myself, teased me, but didn't give any expression, helped me avenge regardless of the danger, and threw me away, what is this. She asked excitedly, "Don't want to do anything? You say, we women, we can meet a few bosom friends in our lives, and there are a few years when Shaohua can be wasted!"
Chen Yuan didn't dare to look her in the eyes, and said in a panic, "Girl, sometimes, there are some things that we can't decide by ourselves. I owe a lot to others, I'm not a good person, the girl Bingxue is smart, she has a good marriage, I'm sorry for the girl's place, and I invite Haihan."
Speaking of this, Chen Yuan's eyes darkened, stared at Zhong Xiao, and said in a low voice, "It's like ...... I am tired of the court, tired of power, tired of fighting, and always thinking about being lazy every day, but I am fetters and always get involved unconsciously, trembling, walking on thin ice. For my mother, I don't have any filial piety, for my wife and concubine, I don't have a few days to accompany me, and I neglect to teach my children. I'm not up to anything I do, and the girl thinks a little more about it, actually, I'm not as good as you think."
Chen Yuan was still the first person to blow up his shortcomings in front of her, Zhong Xiao was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, I have a low status, and I know that I am not worthy of Master Hou, and what I want is not Lord Hou's promise." ν.
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he stared at Zhong Xiao for a moment, what did she mean.
Zhong Xiao met his gaze and didn't dodge away: "What I'm tired of is something I can't say clearly. Twenty years old is the best age for a man, even if you are thirty or forty years old, it still doesn't count for men, you are still in your prime, but women ......are different."
Tears shone in Zhong Xiao's eyes, she gently touched her cheeks, and said gloomily: "Women, what I am most afraid of is age, I am twenty-four years old, every morning when I open my eyes, I remember that I am one day old. Every time I look in the makeup mirror, I am afraid of spots on my face, even wrinkles at the corners of my eyes, and when I see gray hair, I can't eat for a day. Sometimes I wonder if I can't be like an old woman in the countryside, making a living for other people's laundry, and if I am older, what else can I do, marry a rich merchant as a concubine? Oh, Master Hou, you don't know, how cruel life is, we Qinglou women, in order to maintain their appearance, are taking medicine all year round, and they have long lost their fertility function, and it is impossible to marry a lover, if the rich businessman takes a fancy to my appearance, but the appearance will age sooner or later, the rich are tired of me, and find a new love, at that time, how should I make a living?"
Chen Yuan heard her talk about the future, and was shocked, the woman in the Qinglou, even an oiran with both talents and appearances like her, ended up so miserable. Not to mention those women who are average in appearance and can only sell meat for a living.
Chen Yuan said movingly, "Miss Zhong......"
Zhong Xiao shook his head violently, and said sadly: "I've experienced too many things, and I don't have much hope for men, you're right, some times, some things, you can't help yourself. Master Hou, it was you who gave me the courage to live again, but looking back, just like me, in fact, I can't choose my own life, we are used to the night and night singing of the Qinglou, and suddenly let us be accompanied by the cold day and night, I am afraid, I also hate myself like this, but we can't help it."
Chen Yuan looked at her in a daze, and suddenly felt that her face was beginning to be unfamiliar, but Zhong Xiao smiled, very charming.
"Master Hou, do you think that I am shameless and want to climb your Hou Gate and find a support for the rest of my life? Not really...... Hurt by Li Qi, my heart is dead, after meeting Hou Ye, I feel that my heart is alive again, and what Hou Ye left in my heart will be my most nostalgic and beautiful time."
"I don't know, what Master Hou thinks of me. But in your heart, my position will never be comparable to that of your wife and concubine in the family, you can feel guilty for them, you can restrain yourself for them, they are very happy, I envy them!"
After a pause, she added, "I don't ask for anything, people are fickle, aren't they, I once wanted to escape from the Qinglou, and finally found that the Qinglou is my home. I'll live well, Master Hou, what's the relationship between you and me? Confidante? Have time to meet once in a while, sit together for a glass of wine, a cup of tea, and a chat? Hehe......"
Chen Yuan's body trembled violently, Zhong Xiao smiled faintly, and said, "I tossed day and night, reflecting on myself, and finally found that everything naturally faded and disappeared, and at our age, we shouldn't be obsessed with love, right?"
Chen Yuan's mind was deeply shocked, first, the change of Zhong Xiao's thoughts. Yes, the people at the top do not understand the suffering of the people at the bottom, and think that by giving them a little money, they will be able to get out of the sea of suffering and walk towards the bright road. As everyone knows, some things are in the bones and can only be changed little by little.
This is why the peasants and ordinary people are reluctant to go to the cities, not that they can't. Instead, they are accustomed to rural life, where young people yearn for the city, while the elderly prefer to guard their own one-third of an acre. Because when they arrive in the city, they have no survival skills, and the strange life also makes them afraid.
These should cause us to think about our own future reforms, and we should not be able to manipulate the future of the people.
Zhong Xiao is lonely, and her experience is also miserable. Affectionately paid Li Qi wrongly, wasted her youth, and she had no intention of arranging flowers, but it also delayed her youth. I can't promise her now.
Chen Yuan stared at her deeply, but Zhong Xiao had already turned her gaze, she slowly got up and threw her back to Chen Yuan: "Time flies so fast, I think I still plucked the strings under the guidance of my master, and in a blink of an eye, I suddenly got old, and I don't know how long I can eat with my face." I can't help myself, hehe, Master Hou, it's very late at night."
Zhong Xiao walked towards the dressing table, and when she arrived at the dressing table, she didn't dare to look at herself in the mirror, and used all her strength to stop the trembling of her voice and said, "Lu Ying, send off the guest for me!"
Immediately, the maid who had brought Chen Yuan just now came in and invited Chen Yuan out.
Chen Yuan opened his mouth and arched his hand. Take your brother-in-law home.
Zhong Xiao was removing her makeup, and Xiao Fengxian jumped out.
"Walking like a cow, knock knock, you be quiet, don't disturb other people, disturb the guest Yaxing, mother is going to count again." Zhong Xiao said a little while picking beads.
Xiao Fengxian didn't care, she hurriedly picked up Sister Zhong's face, and asked loudly: "Sister Zhong, what are you thinking, I heard what you said just now, you wanted him to come, but he came, you said so?"
Zhong Xiao smiled slightly: "Otherwise?"
Little Fengxian wanted to cry without tears: "I don't understand you, I don't understand you." She walked to the side of the bed and threw herself on the bed, "I'm so tired that I have to greet guests with a smile every day, and for a few more days, my face will stiffen."
"Okay, my silly sister, I see that when you look at Brother Gongzi, your eyes are bright."
"Hmph, you only think about your Hou Ye, and I can't think about it, what can I do? Didn't my sister say, while you are young, find a lover, and in the future, we can only go to the Qinglou to die alone." She put her hands on her cheeks, her eyes were confused, and she murmured, "Sister, where is the beloved? People like Hou Ye can be met but not sought, other men, and afraid of infatuation and wrong payment, we a few days ago, there was no fixed residence, no man to protect, not to mention the wind and food, walking legs blistered, back pain in the car, and we had to prevent others from beating our ideas. When we crossed the checkpoint, the officers and soldiers interrogated, staring at us with squinting eyes, and wanted to move their hands and feet, phew, there is no good thing, alas, I will not be able to sleep well in a few days. Ah, out of the Qinglou, it's not as good as I imagined. However, when I get old in the future, I will go out after all, I don't want to sell my body like them, I have seen a lot in Nanjing, those aunts are in their forties, there are no guests, their mothers are picky, and they have no survival skills, so they can only go outside at a low price to find some homeless people. There are no guests, no income, many aunts starved to death in the alleys, and it took many days to be discovered, so miserable, alas, it's terrible to think about. Sister, when we get old, we have to be like the old women in the village, pulp laundry, black linen faces, ah, how to live."
Zhong Xiao walked up to her, tapped her head, and said angrily, "At a young age, what do you want to do so much, go back to sleep."
"People want to sleep with their sister."
"Go back and sleep by yourself, how old you are, how bad it is for others to see."
"What's so bad about men, don't men like to see two women—"
Zhong Xiaoban raised his face, patted Xiao Fengxian Xiang's buttocks, and glared at the apricot eyes: "The more you talk, the more boundless it is, go back quickly, you love to grind your teeth when you sleep, you are by my side, I can't sleep."
Xiao Fengxian stuck out her tongue: "Hehe, I know, I know." Slowly got up, and under the repeated urging of Sister Zhong, he yawned and returned to the house.
At this time, the guests were tired of tossing. In the entire Linchun Building, there were only a few lonely lights left, Zhong Xiao turned off the lights, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and didn't know what he was thinking.
The night was quiet, but Chen's Mansion was very lively.
Chen Yuan went home in the middle of the night, and he still had fat powder on his body, how could the smart Geng Cairuo not know where he went, so he twisted his waist and twisted the family method.
"Ah, ma'am, it hurts, it hurts."
"You still know that it hurts, why don't you know that it hurts when the Qinglou is merry and happy."
Chen Yuan swore to him: "Madam, I didn't, I was innocent, I went with Dong Mingjing."
"My brother-in-law and brother-in-law went to the kiln, a nest of snakes and rats, and I didn't want to think about his sister, what could he prove by talking."
Grand Marquis Chen smiled bitterly: "Really, madam, you have to believe me, I am innocent."
"Really? Really didn't do anything?"
"No, no. Cleaner than clear water." Hou Ye nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Geng Cairuo smiled charmingly and stuck out his tongue: "Then, prove it to me."
Hou Ye swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "Madam, the night is too deep, let's rest, that, you have to be modest, you can't be too much-ah-"
Hou Ye's heart is refusal, but his body is honest. No, I have to think of a way in the future, I can't do this, otherwise, I will overindulge in lust and die young.
