Chapter Forty Doomed Loneliness

() "That's all!"

Liu Jian let out a long sigh and finally turned around, leaving the little girl behind him completely confused.

"What were you thinking just now? This kind of unrealistic idea is too whimsical." Shaking his head, this was the first time he denied himself. He smiled self-deprecatingly and walked out of the attic. Feng was proud, who knew what was going on in his heart?

He is a mature man who always laments the helplessness of the world.

It's probably due to fate. If you can't force fate, you can only be forced by fate.

"God damn it, my fate is up to me and not to you!"

Cheer up with a shout, brother! Everything is ready, can it be opened?"

"Here we come." Liu Jianshi calmly dispersed his appearance, walked a few steps quickly and ran towards the front building. After entering the front building, he saw that the girls in the hall were all ready and the lanterns had been hung up. But what happened today?

The pressure was placed on them, causing them to lose some of their usual chats and joy.

Bang bang bang!

Liu Jian clapped vigorously three times, attracting the attention of the girls around him. Duan An and Wang Hao came over to say something, but Liu Jian stretched out his hand to signal to wait a moment.

It stands to reason that if something happens to Mother Wang, Feng Manlou should be in charge temporarily of the two oldest turtle men, but these two are timid by nature and have been tired of the rouge for so many years, and half of their bones have been lost.

Hard place.

"Sisters," Liu Jian had a rather draconian voice at this time, but with the blessing of his inner breath, his voice still had a different kind of richness.

"If something like this happens in Fengmanlou today, everyone will probably feel uncomfortable. Mother Wang is still sleeping at this time. Fengmanlou is without its head shopkeeper today, but we have to do business."

"But if we close the door to thank guests today, it will affect the reputation that Fengmanlou has earned with great effort over the years, and many guests will go elsewhere." Liu Jian explained a few words and clapped his hands a few more times, "

What you guys said makes sense when you mention me."

A flower girl responded, and the surrounding girls responded one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became more lively.

Liu Jian knew what these girls were thinking and walked towards the main entrance with a smile. Duan An and Wang Hao looked at each other and followed him.

"Sisters, when we earn enough money, we can redeem ourselves and buy a house and some real estate. It will be no worse than those of our ladies!"

The delicate laughter of several girls could be heard next to him, which made Liu Jian relax a little. His words really had some effect. Dozens of girls who were preparing to receive guests shook their silk handkerchiefs and said,

After whispering softly, he finally returned to his normal state.

Wang Hao and Duan An took a few steps forward and opened two flower doors for him. Liu Jian smiled and said softly: "Thank you both for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard." The two turtle men quickly smiled back, nodded and spoke in a bowed voice.

The two of them were on the same level as Liu Jian, but for some reason they were lowered in front of Liu Jian. When faced with trouble, Liu Jian could give people a sense of security that they could rely on, because Liu Jian himself had extraordinary self-confidence.

The source of this self-confidence is naturally his internal strength in martial arts, and also comes from his many years of bizarre and tortuous experiences. He is a person who has been through hell twice. If he really lets go, he will not be afraid of any situation.

"Fengmanlou is open! Girls, welcome guests——"

Liu Jian sang and shouted, and the sound spread half the street. More than a dozen male guests who had been waiting at the door for a long time smiled and entered the door. The male guests wandering on the red and pink rouge street heard the sound and came over. Several flower girls were posing and posing.

, the girl on the second floor attracted the bees, Liu Jian and the two turtles ran back and forth, and the business tonight was alive...

A swordsman in white walked away from the south. A long sword hung on his white jade belt, and he was waving a paper fan in his hand. He was dressed in an extraordinary way, and his appearance was elegant and distinguished. Is this a handsome rich man or a handsome man?

backward?

"Uncle, I haven't been here for a long time. My sister misses you so much."

The two flower girls' eyes lit up, and they walked down the stairs to greet them. Heroes have loved beautiful women since ancient times, but who knows that women don't love beautiful men? The two flower girls affectionately pulled the male guest's arm, and they were responsible for soliciting customers outside.

, once you enter the building, they won’t have any part in it.

The swordsman in white stepped forward on his own, but the two flower girls missed him. The man chuckled twice and entered the lively front hall of Fengman Building.

"This is your first time coming to Fengmanlou. Why do you say you haven't been here for a long time?"

The two flower girls rolled their eyes, swaying the silk handkerchiefs in their hands, shaking the thin willow snake demon and standing back to its original position.

"Humph, I gave birth to a good skin for nothing, with such an inexplicable charm."

"It's a pity that people look down upon our sisters' delicate beauty. Oh, here comes your guest!"

"Senior brother?" Liu Jian's eyes widened and he saw that he was surrounded by several girls as soon as he entered the door. The swordsman in white was trying to remain calm but was at a loss. Who could he be if he wasn't his cheap senior brother Zhang Qing? The girl has been waiting for a long time."

With a smile in his heart, he greeted the guests and continued walking towards the second floor. When he went up the stairs, he didn't forget to look back, only to see that his senior brother had been pulled into a corner by seven or eight girls, and was buried in the sea of ​​rouge and gouache...

After Liu Jian apologized a few times and pulled Zhang Qing out from the pile of rouge, this graceful senior brother had red lip marks everywhere, was covered in powder and perfume, and looked very embarrassed.

The girls around complained a few times, but they also knew that such a big customer was not something they could handle, so they could only watch the brothers leave with a look of resentment.

"Haha," Liu Jian lowered his voice and laughed, making a gesture to lure Zhang Qing to the second floor, "Brother, why are you here?"

"Visit a brothel and drink wine!"

Zhang Qing snorted, obviously feeling a little unfair about his experience and a little angry about why Liu Jian didn't come over earlier.

"Do you have any money?" Liu Jian looked at his senior brother up and down, stretched out his hand and took out a few banknotes, meaning that if you don't have any money, this time he invites...

Only these two brothers can do this.

"I don't have any money," Zhang Qing couldn't help but smile, but he stretched out his hand against Liu Jian and quietly took out a neat stack of silver notes from his arms, "but there are still a few kilograms of silver notes. Come here, I'll reward you with some purchases.

clothes."

Liu Jian took a few banknotes and looked at them. His eyes couldn't help but stare, his hands trembled, and he sang out of habit: "Thank you guest for the silver, one thousand five hundred taels!"

Zhang Qingshu opened the folding fan and walked slowly inside the railing on the second floor, enjoying the admiring looks from around him. The girls on the second floor who had not yet received the guests ran to the door one after another, opening the door crack and looking forward to this kind of thing in the past few years.

Unexpected high roller.

Liu Jian caught up with him in a few steps and lowered his voice with a smile, "Senior brother, are you so rich?"

"You don't have tens of thousands of taels of banknotes on you, how dare you go out and travel around the world?"

"That's a good relationship. I'm sitting in the room in front. I'm going to ask if there are any girls who want their hair tied. It's better to help others than to help you, senior brother. The girls won't suffer anyway."

"Nonsense, that's not what I came here to do today," Zhang Qing snorted, with a bitter look on his face, "We senior brothers are aware of their own suffering, and you still come here to make fun of me?"

"Could it be that, senior brother, you also...forged a jade quilt?" Liu Jian blinked, feeling that he was in the same boat.

"Although I can't help crying, it's not far away." Zhang Qing shook his head and sighed, then tapped Liu Jian's shoulder with a paper fan, "But I have to be better than you, junior brother."

"Then what are you doing here?"

Liu Jian rolled his eyes and pushed away an unused incense room. The guests around him suddenly understood that this rich, sword-like and handsome young man wanted to spend a lot of money to buy a girl to have his hair pulled. Who knows which girl would have it?

This blessing.

Zhang Qing looked at the incense room with gauze curtains, nodded with some satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Come here today to see your usual practice environment. This place is not bad for resting. The Jade Forging Technique is also in this place of fireworks.

I wonder who came up with the idea!”

"By the way, senior brother, I want to ask you for a favor."

Liu Jian's voice was slightly hesitant, but Zhang Qing smiled and nodded, indicating that it was okay.

"I want to help a little girl redeem herself."

As soon as Liu Jian finished speaking, he felt two narrow eyes coming towards him, and his old face suddenly turned red. "To be honest, senior brother, that little girl is my future wife. We grew up together, and I don't want to see her here..."

…”

"That girl named Die Wu?" Zhang Qing laughed and reached out to pat Liu Jian's shoulder, but accidentally patted his right shoulder, making Liu Jian take a breath.

"Childhood sweethearts are the most rare thing. This is a trivial matter. Tomorrow I will help you buy a house and a golden house to hide your love. However, can you bear to watch her stay alone in an empty house for more than ten summers and winters?"

"Uh? Ten summers and colds?"

Liu Jian was slightly startled. When he realized it, his forehead was suddenly covered with black lines. Is it so serious? After waiting for more than ten winters and summers, his pure jade body could be maintained for more than forty years...

"Not bad," Zhang Qing sat down on his own, picked up the tea cup but found that it was empty, and threw it on the table.

"With your internal strength, it can take as short as eight years or as long as sixteen years to reach the state where you can send and receive things as you wish without losing your true energy. At that time, you will be able to ignore sexual intercourse, and you will still be gifted and lively, and you can even control hundreds of women.

Not a myth."

puff--

Liu Jian's blood spurted out, and he squatted in the corner and was confused for a while. Sixteen years, sixteen years, how many sixteen years can there be in a lifetime? By that time, he would have changed from a handsome boy to a foot-picking man.

, how unsettling this incomplete life will be... Feng Zhifei. "Junior brother, as long as you practice diligently, you still have a glimmer of hope."

"It's okay," Liu Jian wiped away his snot and tears, and stood up again with a strong and tenacious man's heart. "Remember to help her redeem her life tomorrow, and I will explain it to her tonight."

"Haha, senior brother, I admire you for your tenacity."

I admire your sister!

"Wait here, I'll find some servants to sing you a song to relieve your boredom." Liu Jian turned around and turned to look at him before leaving. "You really don't want a girl to serve you? You really do in the past few days.

The little girl with her hair tied up.”

"What is a little girl with tied hair?"

"She's just a girl picking up customers for the first time. She hasn't been touched yet."

"Then here are two."

"Fuck! No!"

Liu Jian walked away with a puff of his sleeves. If he didn't come, he would have asked for two more. However, this hair-twisting job had to be done by Mother Wang herself, but she was still in a coma... By the way, Zhang Qing once said that something was wrong with Mother Wang. He

At this moment, I just had time to think about this old bustard, and I clearly remember Zhang Qing used a few words:

The medicine and stone are powerless, the Qi is against the heart and pulse, and life is at stake... I will not survive tonight or tomorrow morning!
