Chapter 188: Caged Bird
There are usually three kinds of outcomes for a woman elopement in a green house:
One is that he was arrested before he left the city, and then beaten half to death in front of everyone, which is the most, and Xiao Guizi has witnessed it more than once.
The second is even more miserable than the first: the girl is entrusted to a non-person, and as soon as she is out of danger, the person resells it to someone else.
The woman who encounters this situation will either be killed on the spot, or she will be in a mess for the rest of her life and give up the desire to escape, without exception.
As for the last one, it is also the one that the girls yearn for the most: the two not only successfully escaped, but also lived happily together, and then became their own children and lived a normal life.
But this kind is too rare, not one in ten, but even if the probability is so low, there are still women from time to time who are willing to risk their lives and try without hesitation.
……
Therefore, the little nobleman who is used to seeing and listening to the stories of Fengyue is the little white face the most hated in his life.
For example, the boy in front of him satisfies all the fantasies of the little white face in the heart of the little nobleman: rich, literate, and handsome.
When Wang Quanquan found that the other party's eyes gradually changed from vigilant to unkind, he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable, but when he saw the cook on the other side, he seemed to understand something.
But he came today for business, and he didn't plan to be jealous with a little hairy child.
"Gather the rest of the people, I have something to say."
The king's tone is flat, but it gives people a sense of inopposition.
Xiao Guizi was obviously a little unconvinced, he already hated the other party, but now when he saw his commanding appearance, he suddenly became angry, and when he was about to scold the other party, Shuang'er on the side took the lead in asking:
"I don't know who you're looking for, Childe?"
Unlike Xiao Guizi, Shuang'er has no ill feelings towards the Gongzi brother in front of her, and she always has a feeling that she has seen the other party somewhere, thinking that the other party should have been a frequent visitor here before, and now maybe it is for a certain girl.
Although there was no one he was looking for here, she still had to ask.
Seeing that the woman was kind-hearted, Wang Quanquan was afraid that he would waste time, so he smiled and said:
"I'm looking for all the rest of this drunken apricot building."
"Everyone?"
"Not bad."
As he spoke, Wang Quanquan took out a handful of documents from his bosom and handed them to the woman opposite.
"These are the deeds of sale of the remaining people in the drunken acocot building, a total of six, I think, return your freedom."
Freely!
The two young men couldn't help but move their hearts when they heard this, especially the woman named Shuang'er.
The word freedom, for other Fengyue women, may be an unattainable dream, even if they spend ten or twenty years, or even longer, they may not be able to get it, but for the women of Drunken Apricot Tower, it is not the case.
It has been more than a year since the implementation of the good policy of the king's authority, and if the remaining people want to leave, they can leave at any time, and the reason why they stay is not because they are helpless, or because they have grown up here since they were children, and they have feelings, if they just leave, they don't know where to go.
Although Wang Quanquan has never shown up since he took over, his actions have left a deep impression on all the women who have been in the Zuixing Building.
They will often discuss in private what kind of person this generous boss will be.
There were even a few young girls who waited for three months and didn't want to leave, just to be able to personally thank the man who gave them back their freedom.
"So, you're the boss?"
The young man reversed the hostility just now, his eyes were full of reverence, he respected this boss from the bottom of his heart.
He is different from others, he does not have a deed of sale, and the reason why he stays is because he grew up here, and this place is home for him.
But even so, he hopes that the people here can have a good home, instead of living by scratching their heads and pleasing others all day long.
"Boss, wait a minute, I'll go and inform the rest of the people."
With Xiao Guizidi's quick report, the few remaining people in the building quickly gathered.
Wang Quanquan glanced at it, no more, no less, exactly seven people.
In addition to Xiao Guizi and Shuang'er, there are also five women who have shown their old age.
Some of them already have obvious wrinkles, and some of them have long since lost their shape.
The kingship looked at them, and they looked at the kingship as well.
One of the women, who was noticeably younger, looked a little confused, she remembered seeing the man in front of her, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you all have one reason or another for not wanting to leave here, and even some of you have wasted your life here. But there is no feast in the world, and the drunken apricot building will close today. ”
Although everyone had been prepared for a long time, they were still reluctant, after all, they had been here for too long, and they had made this place their home.
"But you can rest assured, I will rent out Zuixing Mansion in the future, and divide the monthly rent equally among you, so that you don't have to worry about your livelihood. You've already spent so much time here that there's no need to spend your whole life in it. ”
The king naturally knew that the reason why these people had the illusion of calling this place home was because they had been locked up for too long, like a caged bird, as long as it was locked up long enough, it was enough to make it forget to fly.
He knew this, so he felt even more pity for the group of people in front of him.
Sure enough, when he said this, everyone in front of him looked at each other, some were puzzled, some sighed, and some shed tears.
The Crown knew that they were stuck in a cycle, and that they would never know that they were in a cage without him, an outsider, to break it.
This cage not only trapped their bodies, but also trapped their hearts.
After a while, someone finally spoke:
"That's right, we should go out, this is not a home, this is a green house, a brothel, a place for men to have fun."
Xiao Guizi, who grew up in the drunken apricot building since he was a child, was the first to figure it out, and then shouted, he was born in the Qinglou and grew up in the Qinglou, here, he is a buddy, and he was born inferior.
But he was still young, he did not accept his fate, and he lived lowly for many years, but it made him invisibly have a momentum not to admit defeat.
Maybe even he doesn't know that he likes to read, just thinking that one day he can get ahead.
His words woke up everyone present, and the eyes of the women who had accepted their fate gradually changed.
Those hopes and fantasies that have been worn out by reality with the years have been rekindled little by little.
Seeing this, Wang Quanquan couldn't help but show a smile, and the eyes that looked at the little nobleman also changed.
If he was not born in the Qinglou, but grew up in a family of scholars, he would definitely soar and prosper, and his future is limitless.
The young woman took the deed of sale and tore it apart, tears welled up in her eyes.
Then came the second person, the third person...... Until everyone tore up their own deed of sale.
And they were not surprised that they all shed tears after tearing up the deed of sale.
There was so much sadness, too much pain, and too much humiliation in these tears.
Everything they went through was something that Wang Quan, an outsider, could never understand, and he watched them cry quietly, and soon, the entire drunken acocoot building echoed with a whimper.
