Chapter 40: Doomed Loneliness
"That's it!"
Liu Jian left a long sigh, and finally turned away, leaving the little girl behind him completely confused.
"What did you think about just now? This kind of unrealistic idea is too whimsical. Shaking his head, this was the first time he had denied himself, smiled self-deprecatingly, and walked out of the attic.
Others see that he has become famous at a young age, and he should be carefree and proud, but who knows that he lives in his heart as a mature man, and he always sighs at the helplessness of the world. Probably because of fate, if you can't be strong by fate, you can only be forced by fate.
"Thief God, my life is up to me, not to you!"
With a shout to cheer up, Liu Jian raised his fist at the sky, but he could only be laughed at and ignored by the stars in the night sky.
"Brother Chun, it's all ready, is it ready to open!"
"It's coming. Liu Jian dispersed his styling and walked a few steps to the front building. When I entered the front building, I saw that the hall was full of girls and the lanterns had been hung. But today's events weighed on them, making them less of their usual gossip.
Bang Bang Bang!
Liu Jian clapped his hands vigorously, attracting the attention of the girls around him. Duan An and Wang Hao, the two turtle dukes, came over and wanted to say something, but Liu Jian stretched out his hand and signaled him to wait for a while.
It stands to reason that when Wang's mother had an accident, Feng Manlou should be the two oldest turtle men for the time being, but these two people are timid and tired of rouge for so many years, and their bones are no longer half hard.
"Sisters," Liu Jian had a male duck voice at this time, but with the blessing of internal breath, his voice was still full of a different kind of richness.
"If such a thing happens in Fengmanlou today, everyone must not feel good in their hearts. Wang's mother is still asleep at this time, and today Fengmanlou has no shopkeeper, but she can't help but do business. โ
"But if we close the door today, it will affect the reputation of our Fengmanlou that has been hard to come through these years, and many guests will also go to other homes. Liu Jian explained a few words, and clapped a few more palms, "The big guy lifts his spirits! The guests come to us just to laugh all night, as long as we give silver, we will keep laughing!"
"What Brother Chun said is reasonable. โ
A flower girl answered, and the surrounding girls responded one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became more lively.
Liu Jian also knew what these girls were thinking, and walked to the main entrance with a smile, Duan An and Wang Hao glanced at each other and followed behind him.
"Sisters, when we have earned enough money, let's redeem ourselves and buy some land and property, which is no worse than those young ladies!"
There were a few girls laughing beside him, which made Liu Jian breathe a sigh of relief, his words could really play a role. Dozens of girls who were about to pick up the guests shook their silk handkerchiefs, and the warblers and swallows whispered, and finally returned to their normal state.
That Wang Hao and Duan An took a few steps forward and opened two flower doors for him. Liu Jian smiled and said softly: "The two of you work hard. โ
"It's not hard, it's not hard. The two turtle men quickly laughed back, nodded and spoke.
The two of them were on the same level as Liu Jian, but at this time, they bowed their heads in front of Liu Jian for some reason. When encountering problems, Liu Jian can give people a sense of security that they can rely on, because Liu Jian himself has extraordinary self-confidence.
The source of this self-confidence is naturally the internal strength of martial arts, and it also comes from years of bizarre and tortuous experiences. He is a person who has gone through the ghost gate twice, if he really lets go of his hands and feet, he is not afraid of any scene.
"Fengmanlou is open! Girls, pick up customers-"
Liu Jian sang and shouted, and the sound spread through half the street. More than a dozen male customers who had been waiting at the door for a long time entered the gate with a smile, and the male customers wandering around this pink rouge street came one after another. A few flower girls scratched their heads, the girl on the second floor attracted butterflies and bees, Liu Jian and the two turtles ran forward and after, and tonight's business was alive......
To the south walked a white-clothed swordsman with a long sword hanging from his white jade belt and a paper fan in his hand. Dressed up is extraordinary, and it is more elegant and more outstanding, is this a handsome rich son or a handsome backward?
"Uncle, I haven't been here for a long time, my sister wants to kill you. โ
The eyes of the two flower girls lit up, and they walked down the stairs to greet each other. Since ancient times, heroes love beautiful women, who doesn't love beautiful men? The two flower girls affectionately went to pull the arm of the male guest, and they were responsible for soliciting customers outside, and they had no part in entering the building.
The white-clothed swordsman stepped forward on his own, but the two flower girls pounced. The man chuckled twice and entered the lively front hall of Fengmanlou.
"It's the first time I've come to this Fengmanlou, why haven't you come for a long time?"
The two flower girls rolled their eyes, shook the silk handkerchief in their hands, and shook the fine willow snake demon to stand back in place.
"Hmph, Bai gave birth to a good skin, such an incomprehensible style. โ
"It's a pity that people don't look down on our sisters' thin willow posture. Yo, the guest is coming!"
"Senior brother?" Liu Jian stared, looking at the white-clothed swordsman who was surrounded by several girls as soon as he entered the door, trying to be calm but at a loss, who was not his cheap senior brother Zhang Qing.
"Master Li, please, Miss Xiangchun has been waiting for a long time. โ
With a smile in his heart, he beckoned the guests to continue walking towards the second floor. When I went up the stairs, I didn't forget to look back, but I saw that my senior brother had been pulled into the corner by seven or eight girls, and was buried in a sea of rouge and gouache......
After Liu Jian made a few reparations and pulled Zhang Qing out of the rouge pile, this dusty senior brother had red lip prints everywhere, powdered and incense all over his body, and was very embarrassed.
The surrounding girls complained a few times, but they also knew that this kind of big guest was not something they could accept, so they could only look at the back of the two brothers leaving with a look of resentment.
"Haha," Liu Jian lowered his voice and smiled, making a gesture to attract customers and leading Zhang Qing to the second floor, "Senior brother, why did you come here?"
"Go to the Qinglou and drink flower wine!"
Zhang Qing snorted, obviously because he was a little unfair about what he had encountered, and he was a little angry about why Liu Jian didn't come over earlier.
"Do you have any silver?" Liu Jian glanced at his senior brother up and down, stretched out his hand and took out a few silver tickets in his arms, which means that if you don't have silver, this time he will ask for ......
The turtle gave prostitution money to the male guest, and this matter was only something that these two brothers could do.
"There is no silver," Zhang Qing couldn't help but smile, but he reached out against Liu Jian and quietly moved, and took out a neat stack of silver tickets in his arms, "There are still a few catties of silver tickets." Come, and give you some clothes to buy. โ
Liu Jian took a few silver tickets and looked at them, his eyes couldn't help but widen, his hands trembled, and he habitually sang: "Thank you for the silver, 1,500 taels!"
Zhang Qing opened the folding fan with a sigh and walked slowly on the inside of the railing on the second floor, enjoying the adoring gaze around him. The girls on the second floor, who had not yet picked up customers, ran to the door one after another, opened the crack in the door and looked at this kind of high-roller that had not been met for several years.
Liu Jian caught up with him in a few steps, lowered his voice and scolded with a smile, "Senior brother, are you so rich?"
"You don't have a silver ticket of tens of thousands of taels on your body, are you embarrassed to come out and walk the rivers and lakes?"
"That's good, sit in the front room. I'm going to ask if there is a little girl who wants to tie her hair, it's better to be cheap than someone else, it's better to be cheap, brother, anyway, the girls don't suffer. โ
"Nonsense, I'm not here to do this today," Zhang Qing snorted, his face was bitter, "Our senior brother knows that he is suffering, and you still come to make fun of me?"
"Could it be that you are also ...... senior brother? Forging jade?" Liu Jian blinked, feeling a sense of sympathy.
"Although I can't help it, it's not far away. Zhang Qing shook his head and sighed, and the paper fan knocked on Liu Jian's shoulder, "But it's always stronger than you, junior brother." โ
"And what are you doing here?"
Liu Jian rolled his eyes and pushed open an idle empty incense room, and the surrounding guests suddenly understood that this son who was rich, sword, and good-looking wanted to spend a lot of money to buy a girl to pull her hair, and I didn't know which girl would have this blessing.
Zhang Qing looked at the incense room with light gauze curtains, and said with some satisfaction: "Come here today and look at your usual practice environment, this place is not bad for resting." The jade forging technique cooperates with the land of fireworks, and I don't know who came up with the idea!"
"By the way, senior brother, I want to ask you something. โ
Liu Jian's voice was slightly hesitant, while Zhang Qing nodded with a smile and motioned to him but said it was okay.
"I want to help a little girl redeem herself. โ
As soon as Liu Jian's words fell, he felt two narrow gazes coming, and his old face suddenly turned red. "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, that little girl is my future wife, who grew up together since childhood, and I don't want to see her ...... here"
"The little girl named Diewu?" Zhang Qing haha, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Jian's shoulder, but accidentally patted him on the right shoulder, making Liu Jian take a breath. "Childhood sweethearts are the rarest, these are all trivial things, and tomorrow I will help you buy a house and a golden house. However, you can't bear to see her stay alone in the empty room for more than a dozen cold and summer?"
"Uh, more than a dozen cold and summer?"
Liu Jian was slightly stunned, and when he reacted, he couldn't help but have black lines on his forehead, is it so serious? After waiting for more than a dozen cold and summer, his pure jade body has been maintained for more than forty years......
"That's right," Zhang Qing sat down to himself, picked up the teacup only to find that it was empty, and threw it on the table again.
"Your internal strength, as short as eight years, as long as sixteen years, is estimated to be able to reach the realm of sending and receiving wishful thinking and true yuan. At that time, you can ignore intercourse, and you can still be talented and lively, and even the royal girl is not a myth. โ
Poofโโ
Liu Jian gushed out a mouthful of blood and squatted in the corner of the wall for a while. Sixteen years, sixteen years, how many sixteen years can there be in a lifetime? By that time, I have changed from a beautiful man to a big man in this life, how uneasy will this broken life be......
Zhang Qing couldn't help but smile, with a sympathetic look between his eyebrows, but the light fan of the paper fan was like a spring breeze. "Alas, junior brother, as long as you practice diligently on weekdays, you still have that glimmer of life. โ
"It's okay," Liu Jian wiped his snot and tears, and stood up again with a strong and tenacious man's heart. "Remember to come and redeem her tomorrow, and I'll explain it to her tonight. โ
"Haha, the tenacity of my junior brother's mind, I admire and admire my senior brother. โ
Admire your sister!
"Wait here, I'll find a few Qingqi people to sing songs for you to relieve your boredom. Liu Jian turned away, and didn't forget to turn his head to look at him before going out, "You really don't want a girl to serve? โ
"What is a little girl with her hair pulled?"
"It's the girl who picked up the customer for the first time, and she hasn't been touched yet. โ
"That's two. โ
"Damn!
Liu Jian brushed his sleeves away, if he didn't come, he would have to do it again, but this hair-pulling work had to be done by Mother Wang herself, but Mother Wang was still in a coma...... By the way, Zhang Qing once said that Wang's mother seemed to be in a wrong situation, and he only had time to think of this old bustard at this time, and he clearly remembered that Zhang Qing used a few words:
The medicine stone is weak, the qi is against the heart, and the life is in danger......
