Chapter 21 Su Xiangning
Chapter 19 Su Xiangning
As April approaches, the spring breeze swept across the hundreds of fangs and thousands of streets of Bianjing, green embellishes three thousand willows on the river bank, and the number of people visiting in the pavilions and alleys gradually increases. Some evil things of "traitors" gradually disappear with the wind. After all, it is useless for the common people to say too much about the princes and princes, and they will cause trouble instead.
The poem "Passing the Panic Beach" at the poetry meeting was too much and did not spread far and wide. However, the official Yuchi was famous all over the world. The origin was that the courtesan of Minglou, Li Shishi, who put out the last two lines of "Wong Chun and Beauty" in just a few words. A poem suppressed the whole audience, and even Zhou Bangyan praised it. Yue Jin, Yu Fan Chenglin and other little-known talents were even more ashamed of themselves.
Although everyone knows that it was not written by Master Yuchi, it is also a skill to buy such a masterpiece. Now, when you go out, you will greet him, and you are talking in secret. You want to ask who the talented man behind him is. Of course, you can't ask this. Yuchi Hu doesn't want to say it, but he doesn't want to say it.
They are all playboys, yours are mine, and mine is mine, so there is a reason to betray each other.
The literati stories are most circulated in the tram and wine shops, and the girls in Minglou like these the most. At this time, a group of girls practiced the evening songs in the back hall of Minglou, Yanglou Street, gathered together to discuss in a low voice. A woman in a green skirt had a light makeup and a simple face, but the hairpin on her head looked a little out of tune. She debugged the strings alone next to her, which seemed out of place with the popular girls around her.
Perhaps because she felt neglected, a girl walked up to her and said with a smile: "Sister Su, do you think the poem was written by Mr. Yuchi? He used to call you, and you must know."
Su Xiangning didn't want to mention some past events, so she shook her head apologetically: "Maybe! I don't know." The girl said 'oh', pouted and walked back.
Su Xiangning was so familiar with them that she didn't care. She was originally a singer in Minglou, and she was also the top star. Last year, after Baibaozhai opened the door, she met Shen Yu and became friends. Shen Yu's family had a great fortune, so she redeemed her and her maid Qingguo.
A woman in a brothel is a good destination for marrying a wealthy family and being a concubine. If she does not have a home, she will be free and regain her freedom. She is not a good thing. She has the beauty and talent in a brothel, and at least she can make a living. If she is helpless, she will only be eaten without any bones. It has happened before. After running out to get rid of her arrogance, she will return to the nanny in shame to take on the flesh and blood business until her body is broken and she goes to the backyard to do laundry and do chores for the girls.
Prostitutes are not clean, and they are all the same. When people are old and dirty, they are useless. They are lucky to be able to do laundry and do chores.
Su Xiangning knew that the brothel woman was redeeming her miserable life rashly, but she was unwilling to stay in such a place. She seized the opportunity and left Minglou, and owed a lot of money and favors.
He had to pay back the things he owe, and the two young masters of the Shen family were unmarried. Su Xiangning had fallen into the world and could not be able to climb the Shen family. So he came out to play music every now and then, hoping to pay off the favors as soon as possible. He thought of buying the bean shop next door and relying on the green fruit for life in the future. But the money is good, but the favors are not so easy to pay back. Instead, he owes more and more people.
It’s okay to go to a serious occasion like Pipayuan, but when you return to your hometown in Minglou, you can’t describe the embarrassment that you used to face your sisters. However, this is much better than being in a dusty place. At least you don’t need to be entertained by others, and you can also have a friend to take care of you.
A few days ago, the scholar was eager to be accused of the bean shop. She was still a little annoyed. After all, she had eaten bean shop for half a year and had to get along with the old couple. Unexpectedly, she was pried away in one night. Now she is open. After all, the scholar opened a bean shop for so long that she didn't look like a businessman. Maybe in a few months, she would go out and have another chance.
During the break, several girls started talking about the song "Wing Chun and Beauty" again:
"It must have been written by Mr. Fan. He is the best seven-character person..."
"Hmph, I just let you play a song, and you talk all day long..."
"I think the talented man who writes this poem must have a very long temper and handsome..."
"What kind of spring is coming out in broad daylight? I really don't look down on you if I come out."
"Oh, you're looking for a call..."
Hehehe, hehe, he kept making noise. Su Xiangning used to like talking about these things, but now she is also indifferent. She came here just to serve as a signboard for Baibaozhai. Compared with "Ying Chun and Song of Beauty", she prefers the sentence "The life experience is rising and falling, rain hitting Ping". She knew that the person who wrote this poem was Lord Chen, the Minister, who was persecuted by the traitor. She was worried for several days, and she didn't know how many times she scolded the traitor. Fortunately, she was in a false alarm in the end. She wanted Shen Yu to help carve the poem on the hairpin, but Shen Yu said it was unlucky and couldn't sell it, so she had to give up in the end.
Actually, now I think about it, she needs to worry about the affairs of kings, princes, generals and ministers. After repaying Shen Yu’s favor, it is the right way to put the tofu shop over.
------
In the evening, after performing the song, Su Xiangning left Minglou through the back door with Qin in her arms. Today, Shen Yu had a headache, and the maid Qingguo was busy taking care of her. She didn't want to come alone, but she couldn't resist Shen Yu's favor. Fortunately, she didn't meet any difficult people.
The streets of Yanglou are brightly lit, but the alleys behind them are dark and dull. They are all servants from various shops or old women who have retreated from brothels. It is drizzling and Su Xiangning does not hold an umbrella, but she is not far from Baibaozhai, so she quickly walks through the alley.
Step... Step... Step...
When she walked behind Baibaozhai, she was about to go in, but found that there were some debris piled up not far from the next door. There were tools for making tofu. She wanted to put the shop on the shop, so she learned it for a long time in her spare time and recognized it. Seeing that the things were thrown on the ground and rained, she hesitated a little and looked forward for a few times. They were all good things that could be used and were not damaged.
Thinking that the scholar who had changed the shop had a new one, Su Xiangning couldn't help but feel a pity, but even if it was something that someone had lost, she didn't take it away at will, so she walked to the back door of the second-story building and raised her hand to knock on the door.
"How is the matter done?"
"Mr. Cao, you have arranged it as you said, Brother No. 30..."
Two men whispered, one voiced coldly and the other was very humble.
Su Xiangning was stunned, frowned slightly, and walked to the corner of the wall with his ears and listened carefully.
"Are you smart? Don't find some stupid people to come."
"Don't worry, with your name as Kyoto Taisui, the fool is also scared to be smart, and I guarantee it to be clean, hehe..."
Insidious laughter.
Su Xiangning suddenly covered her mouth and leaned against the wall, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Kyoto Tai Sui!
Cao Hua!
The evil man who almost insulted Lord Chen’s only daughter and killed countless people actually appeared in this dark alley and was preparing to "clean up" someone's house.
Su Xiangning even stopped breathing and stepped back carefully. Hearing this conversation, she was a helpless and weak woman who was sure to die.
Walking slowly, the embroidered shoes stepped on the broken wood that had been decorated.
Bang!
The sound of a light sounded in the quiet alley, extremely abrupt.
Su Xiangning's face turned pale, but she didn't dare to move too much. She walked back very carefully, staring at the corner of the wall, and tears rolled down inadvertently.
In the dark corner, two fierce men seemed to appear immediately, holding her with big swords, not knowing what kind of sin they would suffer.
The more nervous he was, the more careful Su Xiangning became, trying not to make any sound. However, the back door of the second floor building was full of piles of debris and broken wood, and it was drizzling again, and I didn't know what to slid on.
“Woo…”
At the critical moment of life and death, Su Xiangning almost bit her hands and bleeded, and did not grab her. She hugged the Qin and fell straight down. At least the sound of a person falling to the ground was not loud. If the Qin fell to the ground...
She closed her eyes tightly, not knowing how much perseverance she used to overcome her physical instinctive reaction.
But my body fell backwards, but it did not fall to the ground as expected, but instead leaned on something very soft.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a face with a gentle smile, my eyebrows were like ink, my eyes were like stars, and my two beards were beards.
"Su Shi?!"
"Miss Su, why are you here?"
Cao Hua stopped the woman's back with one hand and supported her with a gentlemanly demeanor.
Su Xiang stared at her cheeks that were close to her, but was stunned for a long time. She suddenly realized that she didn't care about the defenses of men and women, and hurriedly whispered: "Hurry, go in..."
Incoherently speaking, Su Xiangning stood up in a hurry and hugged the Qin and entered the back door that had been opened at some time.
Chapter completed!
