Chapter 188 Chunhong Pavilion(2/2)

A Da laughed and said, "You are very open-minded."

Yanhong said: "In life, isn't it just a matter of making a living? What if I can't be over-looking? I just want to go back to my hometown to do some small business after I have the money to redeem myself."

A Dadao: "I use tea instead of wine, and I can see this to you."

Yanhong poured herself a glass of wine, and after drinking it all, she poured a cup of warm tea for Ada, and her cup was filled with wine.

Ada asked again: "I wonder which enquire girl Wancui's house is now?"

Yanhong knew that Ada came for Wan Cui, and she explained it from the beginning, so she said, "Haha, who else can be there at this time? Of course, it was the stingy man named Xu. Wan Cui was unlucky, and she was actually attracted by him. There were several customers like you who were rich and willing to spend money on him, but they were all blocked by the stingy man named Xu. He didn't give much money every time, and he would ask his guards to come and watch first. The period from Hai to Zi Shi is his exclusive."

At Dashi finally got to the point and said unhappy: "Can you still do this? Whose origin of this surname is Xu!"

Speaking of things that made Wancui not happy, Yanhong seemed to be very happy. She continued: "It's not Xu Yan, the Minister of Justice. He has been posing as an official airs there. Sanniang is not good at provoking him, and Wancui can only obediently flatter him."

A Dao: "So that's it."

Yan blushed and said with a hint of jealousy: "But I heard that the man surnamed Xu had already had a showdown with the tigress at home and said he wanted to take Wancui as his concubine."

After hearing this, Ada echoed and scolded Xu Yan, and then talked to Yan Hong about other things about Qindu. Yan Hong was in a bad mood after she said that Wan Cui was going to be taken into a concubine, and she also drank the wine in her hand one by one.

Shi Wu leaned over to Liu Li while Ada and Yanhong were chatting. Liu Li subconsciously retreated, but seemed to be worried about something, and his body froze there.

Shi Wu actually wanted to ask what happened to the loose-looking clothes on her body. Although the room is warm, she will still wear the wind when she goes out.

Shi Wu half-jokingly said, "Sister Liu, should you change your clothes?"

When Liu Li heard this, his eyes panicked and cried.

Yanhong smiled contemptuously and continued to drink without caring about her.

Shi Wu was frightened by her sudden cry and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Li just sobbed gently without saying a word.

Ada knew that Liu Li might have misunderstood because of what Shi Wu said, and said to him: "Xiao Wu, take this plate of pastry to the table and stool next door, and have a chat with her while eating. We are all here, and we always have to take a look at Miss Wancui before leaving."

Shi Wu understood Ada's meaning. Whenever Wancui had time, it meant that Xu Yan was going back to Xu's mansion. At that time, they could take revenge on the road and revenge on the road.

Shi Wu held the plate of pastry and said, "I'm most afraid of girls crying. As long as you don't cry, go there to eat pastry obediently. How about giving you ten taels of silver when I leave?"

Liu Li stopped crying and asked weakly: "Just eat pastries? Give back ten taels of silver?"

"Yes." Shi Wu nodded, "I, Shi Wu, never deceived the cute little lady."

Liu Li chuckled and said, "Who will you lie to?"

Shi Wu blamed himself: "I lied to an uncle who was very nice to me not long ago. He asked me to go back with him to be the young master. I said that if I succeed in ten years, I would go."

"Why have to wait ten years? Wouldn't it be better to go now?" Liu Li said curiously to Shi Wu.

Shi Wu picked up the plate of pastry and said to her, "Then come with me, I'll tell you."

Liu Li said obediently: "Okay."

Seeing that Shi Wu finally comforted the girl, he felt relieved. After they sat down on the table and stool next door, Shi Wu said, "Eat quickly. I didn't say anything just now, why did you cry like that?"

Liu Li stretched out his hands with frostbite, carefully took a piece of Yunpian cake and put it in his mouth to eat it, crying while eating it. But this time was different from the previous one, Shi Wu could see that she shed tears because the Yunpian cake was delicious.

Shi Wu also picked up a piece and ate it, but found that it was nothing special, on the contrary, the taste was a bit rough. Shi Wu asked, "What kind of place is this?"

"It's a brothel." Liu Li whispered.

Shi Wu replied: "I know it's a brothel, but the uncles in the village used to say that brothels are very dangerous and that children cannot go there, and only men can come in. But this time I mustered up the courage to come in and found that there is no danger here except for many girls."

Liu Li knew that Shi Wu misunderstood the meaning of the brothel, but she didn't say anything, just asked: "Young master, can I get another piece of pastry? My mother hasn't eaten it before, I want to bring it to her."

Shi Wudao: "Of course, you can take all this plate."

Liu Li quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I'll take too many Sanniang will hit me if she sees it."

"Why did she hit you?" Shi Wu said incomprehensible.

Liu Li said: "This is the rule. Having said that, Xiao Li just misunderstood you. In fact, this outfit is not mine, but Sanniang found a piece for me. My mother is a servile man here. She gave my mother a tael of silver and asked me to come and drink with a young man, which is you. She said that if you are interested in me, I will sell it... if you sell it to you, you can add another five taels."

"Selling your body?" Shi Wu was stunned. He understood everything he couldn't figure out before. No wonder those people who came all the way would look at him with that look. He apologized to Liu Li, "I'm sorry, what I said before was too abrupt. I shouldn't say that kind of thing to a girl."

When Liu Li saw Shi Wu apologizing to her, he was frightened: "Young master, don't do this. Sister Yanhong saw it. After telling Sanniang, my mother and I will be in trouble."

Shi Wu asked, "Since she treats you so harshly, why don't you leave?"

Liu Li said sadly: "I asked my mother too, but after I asked, she beat me and scolded me hard, saying that she worked so hard to raise me, but I just wanted to leave here."

Shi Wu suddenly felt a bad feeling, but he didn't know how to speak to Liu Li. When we met by chance, Shi Wu could have ignored these things, but now he is not long before. If he wants to do some good things, do some.

Shi Wu said to Liu Li: "You can eat pastries here first, and I will go back."

Liu Li didn't know what Shi Wu was going to do, so she just sat there obediently, eating the delicious pastries she had never eaten before.

Shi Wu came to the table on the side of the curtain, Yanhong was drunk, and said nothing in her mouth, while Ada was sitting, obviously not listening carefully.

After Shi Wu explained his purpose, Ada nodded and went out to find the madam Sanniang.

As soon as Sanniang came in, she thought it was Ada and the others who urged her to let Wancui come and accompany her, and apologized first: "Two guests, please wait for you for a long time, Wancui will come."

A Dadao: "I understand, but I asked you to come for another thing. I don't know how much Miss Liu's mother sold her."

Sanniang is such a smart person. She saw that Ada was going to help Liu Li redeem her body, so she spoke, "Thirty taels of silver."

A Dadao: "Can her mother get involved in gambling?"

Sanniang said: "I don't touch it, but I touch it with something more troublesome than gambling - poor."

A Dadao: "Is it so poor that I have to sell my daughter to live?"

"Sometimes people don't just sell their daughters when they are poor, but they also sell themselves. But now she is old and can't sell herself." Sanniang said with a smile.

Ada nodded and said, "I understand."

Ada turned to Shi Wu and said, "Do you still want to help her?"

Shiwudao: "Helping."

Ada said to Sanniang: "Call Miss Liu's mother over."

Sanniang thought Ada had to face the account in person, frowned and said, "This is not in line with the rules, the guest."

A Dadao: "The price is still the same. I just want to say something to Miss Liu's mother."

Sanniang was puzzled and asked the servant outside to call a haggard woman in. Although it was winter, the woman was only wearing a single dress, with many patches on it and her clothes were a little dirty. Her eyes flashed and she didn't dare to look directly at A Da.

Ada said to her: "I bought your daughter."

The woman said strangely: "Didn't I have sold her to..."

Sanniang was afraid that the woman would say the price, so she said first: "This customer is just going to buy it from me again, so you can testify."

The woman stopped talking when she heard this.

Ada suddenly asked, "Do you want to leave Qindu?"

The woman shook her head and said, "I don't want to. After staying in Qindu, I want to die here even if I die."

A Dada said: "Then I understand. Here are fifty taels of silver, thirty taels are for the boss, and these twenty taels are for you." Seeing that the woman was not only poor but also vain, A Da gave all the twenty taels of silver he originally wanted to give Liu Li to her mother.

The woman didn't expect her daughter to be sold twice. She looked at the twenty taels of silver notes with her eyes glowing, kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, my uncle! Thank you, my uncle!"

Shi Wu only realized that Liu Li had been standing on the side of the curtain at some time. Shi Wu even saw tears falling from the ground, as well as the pastries she had originally hidden in her sleeves to bring to her mother for food.

Ada said to Sanniang: "Take the proof of the letter and put it all in a seal."

After Sanniang took out the document, the three of them re-signed the signature.

After everything was over, A Dadao: "Apart from Miss Liu Li, you can go out. Miss Wancui said it again when she has time. We are all here, so we have to take a look before leaving."

Sanniang took the silver notes and asked someone to help Yanhong away. In fact, Liu Li's mother sold her daughter to her for ten taels of silver. Now she has made another twenty taels of money. She is sure to make a profit. Moreover, this girl is still young and not pretty. Instead of raising her for a few years, she should sell her now.

When Liu Li saw that her mother asked, she picked up the silver note and left, and she burst into tears in pain.

General A handed the contract to Shi Wu, and Shi Wu said: "Grandpa A, this..."

"I just want you to know that being a good person is not that simple, you can solve the subsequent tasks yourself." After saying that, Ada closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing like a meditation.
