Chapter 10: The Oiran with a Good Heart
The palatial attic, with its gold-topped stone walls, is painted with a variety of bird motifs and is colorful. The floor is covered with a carpet embroidered with soft brocade and satin, with the occasional bright red flame burning.
As night fell, the day's business in Fengyue Tower began, and in the hall, a group of men of all colors, carrying their proud heads, spent money here. The women recruited by the flowers and branches flirted with these men with smiling faces. From here, you can also hear the elegant sound of the piano and the beautiful singing from each room.
It's a lively and joyous scene, but behind this happy scene, how many women are waiting for their men to come home? and the joy brought by the silver taels saved by the wives and sons and daughters on the festival.
And this woman with a smiling face like a flower, when the noise subsides, the sun shines into the room through the window, she can only sit alone in the room and feel melancholy, most of the silver taels obtained by hard work overnight will fall into the hands of the old bustard, and I don't know when I will be able to save the money for redemption, and when my face is old, where will they go?
This is the Qinglou of this dynasty, a happy field for men to have fun, and a cage for hard-working women.
Lin Mo has been in this green building for two months, I don't know if it is the role of the heroine's five taels of silver, her life in this building is not sad.
She was arranged to be a maid next to the Oiran in the building, and the Oiran was named Shui Ling'er, which was not the same as what she usually described in TV series and novels.
Lin Mo carefully observed the Oiran Shui Ling'er who was painting.
In her impression, Oiran is generally cold, arrogant, pretentious, and a little temperamental.
And the Oiran lady next to her has no arrogance at all, and she is very easy-going. She is elegant and vulgar, with a light and spiritual atmosphere, delicate skin, leisurely demeanor, beautiful eyes, peach cheeks with a smile, unspoken, breath like a quiet orchid, indescribably gentle and kind.
The most impressive thing is that she always has a kind smile, and this kindness that goes straight to the bottom of her eyes cannot be disguised.
What's even more curious is that Shui Ling'er is in this wind and dust, but there is no trace of wind and dust on her body, just like a fairy in the sky, who came down to experience the suffering of this world.
Because Zhao Linger is kind to people, many of the girls in the building have received her help, so the girls here get along quite harmoniously, and they are not as intrigued as the TV series says.
Lin Mo has lived a fairly stable life in the past two months, and according to this situation, she can definitely wait for the female advocate to redeem her.
"Momo, Momo!"
Shui Ling'er shouted several times but didn't get a response, and when she looked back, she found that the little girl was in a daze, and her hand holding the brush shook in front of Lin Mo.
"Oh, Sister Shui, I'm sorry, I'm shaking."
It's been two months since I've been here, and Lin Mo still doesn't get used to the title of Momo, she always feels weird, it sounds like she's shouting and touching, but Shui Ling'er can't help it if she has to call her that.
Shui Ling'er pinched Lin Mo's little face and teased, "Are you thinking about your little sister Zhang Erya?" ”
Lin Mo softened his pinched little face and pretended to be surprised: "Sister Shui, you are the roundworm in my stomach, you can know this."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he complained in his heart, hey! Pretending to be tender is also a very tiring thing.
"Your excited look is on your face, and your sister Shui's eyes are not blind?"
Shui Ling'er liked this little girl very much at first sight when she saw Lin Mo, maybe it was a good match! That's when she got to his side.
She didn't know what kind of person Zhang Erya was in Lin Mo's mouth, but she always felt that it was impossible for a little peasant girl to earn 50 taels in three months to redeem people, otherwise there would be no so many hard-working people.
Even if you really earn 50 taels, it's not so easy to let go with your mother's money-hungry character, hey! If it really comes to that time, as long as Zhang Erya and his family can come to redeem Lin Mo, then she will secretly add some more!
"The new girl in the building has been locked in the firewood room by her mother for two days, she has not eaten or drunk, I am afraid that she will not be able to stand it, you go to the firewood room and give her all this food!"
Shui Ling'er put down the pen in her hand and pointed to some pastries she had deliberately left on the table.
"Okay, Sister Shui."
Lin Mo obediently took the food and left, she didn't do less of such a thing?
This is the old bustard's usual method, and if the new girls are disobedient, she beats them and locks them in the wood-house without food or drink, until they beg for mercy.
Lin Mo walked quickly in the direction of Chai Fang, she was not worried about being found at all, it was not yet noon, and the people in the building were still sleeping.
Even if she is unlucky and is discovered, Shui Ling'er will protect her, and the old bustard doesn't dare to offend Shui Ling'er easily now, because Shui Ling'er is now a cash cow in this building.
