Chapter 534
534
Since the plague started, Chuyao Pavilion has been closed.
When the ban was lifted, the capital was still in chaos and Aunt Caier was not interested in managing it.
Su Haoyi returned to Chuyao Pavilion, but Aunt Cai was surprised, but in front of him, she only said "I'm back."
When Rong was free, he arrived in her room and saw Su Haoyi there to tidy up the bed tent, he asked her: "Are you back now?"
Su Liangyi smiled and nodded and said, "Well, Lord Quan asked me to leave."
"Then he..." Aunt Cai'er paused and said, "It's not difficult for you from beginning to end, right?"
"I owe this favor," Su smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't pay it back in my life."
When Aunt Caier heard her say this, she probably knew what was going on. She sighed and said, "You can't say that. You can't turn the mountains and waters and turn them. Who can expect that there is no repayment?"
Su Haoyi took Aunt Cai'er's hand and said, "Mom, I'm just about to discuss with you. Let's leave the capital!"
"Lantai's affairs..." Since I learned that Sima Lantai got married with the princess, Aunt Cai'er had never seen Su Haoyi, and she had never told her about this: "Do you blame him in your heart?"
"Didn't my mother tell me that if I'm determined to be together, I'll have to be determined without hesitation. But once he doesn't love me, I have to get out as soon as possible. Now his heart is different, but his people are not free." Su lowered his head kindly, and there was no light in the room, so he couldn't see her expression clearly: "I have nothing to blame, and I didn't think that there would be such a day at the beginning."
"My poor child." Aunt Cai'er hugged Su Haoyi in her arms with heartache. Although she was so free and easy, she must have felt painful and tormented, otherwise she would not have lost weight to such a pitiful look.
"Mom, let's pack up." Su Haoyi said again: "Go back to Xianyuan Mountain."
"You are right. You should not stay here for a long time. Just these two days." Aunt Cai'er knew that when it was time to leave, the relationship between Su Haoyi and Sima Lantai would sooner or later reach the princess' ears, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and it would be better to leave early.
That night, my mother and I thought about it for half a night, and the next morning, Aunt Caier brought everyone together.
People are wondering how many years this Chuyao Pavilion has been open, and Aunt Cai'er has never trained in the early morning.
I saw her wearing a plain green plum skirt, with a flat bun tied hair, and only a jade hairpin was inserted.
Aunt Cai'er dressed up more simply as she was in her later years. She sooner or later worshiped the Buddha. She could not tell that she had been in the fun for most of her life without knowing it.
Su Haoyi stood behind her and placed the two boxes on the table next to Aunt Cai'er.
"From thirty years since I opened this Chuyao Pavilion, the new song has become an old song, and the little girl has become an old woman. How many people have come and left, and even the prime minister has changed several times." Aunt Cai'er couldn't help but sigh when she talked about the past: "It is said that life is full of grass and trees, and it is time for me to take a break."
After hearing what she said, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and their faces showed sad expressions.
"There is no banquet that will last forever, let alone this small Chuyao Pavilion! We have been together for a long time, and money is not brought by life or death. If it is too much, it is a burden. Therefore, I discussed with Hachiro that everyone in Chuyao Pavilion can receive fifty taels of silver bills and take your body contract back." When Aunt Cai said this, Su Haoyi opened the two boxes on the table. One contained the silver bills, and the other was the sales contract for everyone.
"From now on, you will be in your own way." Aunt Caier said: "From today, there will be three days for everyone to pack up their things and leave. Three days later, we will close the place and leave."
Everyone burst into tears. Although the ending was really good, separation was still uncomfortable.
"I've long seen that you are the one who wants to get the mountain. It's better to set up a tent for thousands of miles, and there's no banquet that will last. From then on, everyone will be free and have money to stay away, so they won't starve to death." Wang Yu said while wiping her tears: "I'm the old man here, and she even watched Hachiro grow up. Take care of you two, and you may not be able to see each other again."
After hearing what she said, everyone couldn't help but feel even more sad.
Su Haoyi remembered that when he came to Chuyao Pavilion, the first person he met was Nephrite.
Now, more than ten years have passed.
The girls in Chuyao Pavilion have saved some money around them on weekdays. Aunt Cai'er doesn't try hard to deduct the people under her hands like other mothers.
In addition, the business of Chuyaoguan is good. Not to mention a first-class girl, or a third-class girl, as long as she is not a big shot, she can save a hundred taels of silver in a year.
Everyone cried and took their own contracts.
Aran, Axun and others didn't ask for the fifty taels of silver. They had a lot of money in their hands and asked Aunt Cai to share her share with the people below.
Those who were cooking at the hall were naturally happy. For those girls, these fifty taels of silver were just a purse that guests could give, but for them, they would be the pension money for the rest of their lives.
After finishing the work, Aunt Caier and his daughter also went upstairs to pack up the things. Because they were in a hurry to leave, they just picked up the most important things to clean up.
The rest of the people are not negligent, but it is easier said than done. It takes two or three days to clean up and settle it.
The first person to leave the entire Chuyao Pavilion was the servants. First, they didn’t have much stuff, and second, they were no longer at Chuyao Pavilion, so they had to rush to find the next house.
Only Shen Huiniang left the earliest.
She had originally had a relationship with a silk merchant in Huangzhou, and the two had a good time in the past two years.
Therefore, she had long had the idea of being a good person in her heart.
But Shen Huiniang was born as a courtesan, and the silk merchant was not a big businessman. She had my mother in charge at home, so he didn't have much money to use. She drank and chased and laughed on weekdays, but she couldn't do it if she really wanted to make a lot of money.
Although Shen Huiniang made a lot of money, she still had a short life in this industry, and she had only been more than two years in total. She also had 1,800 taels of silver in her hand, but redeeming her life was far from enough. Therefore, this redeeming money made the two of them stumped.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Cai'er suddenly dismissed everyone. Not only did she not want to redeem her money, but she also helped everyone.
Shen Huiniang fulfilled her wish and was so happy that she could not help but ask someone to go outside the city to chase the merchant and tell him the news.
That person was going back to Huangzhou, but he had just set off.
After receiving Shen Huiniang's letter, he immediately returned to the city.
Shen Huiniang packed up her things and said goodbye to everyone with the merchant.
He thanked Aunt Caier again and then took a boat to leave Beijing.
Everyone said goodbye to Shen Huiniang on the dock and turned around to continue packing things.
