That night, Liang Dong, Xu Qubing, Xue Liangce and others did not humiliate themselves by proposing games such as drinking orders and pot throwing.
With the black hole of Lu Fang in the game, there is simply no sense of experience in playing these games.
No one wants to make themselves unhappy.
No matter how you say it, they are all outstanding young men in Tanzhou. The feeling of being crushed by others is not pleasant.
Everyone was just drinking.
He spent most of his time talking to the oiran who was sitting next to him.
Courtesan ladies such as Yu Xiang and Mu Dan performed performances one after another, playing the piano, dancing, or playing the pipa, each with its own merits.
Shaoyao also blushed and danced in the middle of the banquet.
On the way, his eyes wandered, sometimes looking at Lu Fang.
Liang Dong and others could see that this was the intention of a young girl who was far from reaching the level of Lingbo and Mudan, and they winked at Lu Fang.
When Shaoyao sat down next to Lu Fang, Liang Dong said: "Brother Fang, Miss Shaoyao dances this song for you. Don't you plan to write a poem in return?"
Apparently he was just watching the excitement and was not afraid of big trouble.
Of course, there may be other thoughts as well.
Lu Fang looked at the peony.
He is not a fool, of course he knows that this is the young girl who is just starting to fall in love and has some thoughts about him.
but……
Xiaohe just showed her sharp corners...
Redeeming Shaoyao's body is not a big deal, but how to arrange the redemption after returning is a troublesome matter.
Whether he lets Shaoyao be Chen Youxi's maid, or lets Shaoyao help him manage his business in the future. If you take him home, you won't have to rush out again.
These days, many maids are hired for life. Taking them home is like taking a woman in disguise.
Lu Fang hasn't reached that level yet.
If you take a woman home when you see one, and use your glorious image as a flower that blossoms and is loved by everyone, won’t there be countless women in the future?
He shook his head slightly due to the drunkenness and said: "I drank too much today, and I really can't do it anymore."
Shaoyao bit her lip and lowered her head.
His eyes were full of resentment.
…
As the night gets darker.
Liang Dong, Yu Qubing and the others were not familiar with Fengyue's food, and they had to go to school tomorrow, so they dispersed.
Yu Xiang, Ling Bo and other court ladies all stood up to see each other off.
As soon as they left the house, Shaoyao said to Lu Fang: "Mr. Lu, if the little girl feels slightly unwell, I won't send you a gift today."
Then, without waiting for Lu Fang to speak, he lowered his head and left.
Lu Lin lightly bumped Lu Fang with his shoulder and laughed.
Lu Fang touched his nose, dumbfounded.
Go downstairs.
Under the "reluctant" looks of Mrs. Yu Xiang and others, Liang Dong and others boarded the car and left.
They all come from well-off families and have their own grooms waiting outside in their carriages.
"Brother Fang, shall I take you to the Jiedushi Mansion?"
Lu Lin said to Lu Fang.
He also imitated Liang Dong and called him "Brother Fang".
This title means that Lu Fang is truly included in this circle.
Lu Fang was not polite to Lu Lin and nodded, "Okay."
Then follow Lu Lin into the car.
This carriage is really big and luxurious. Inlaid with gold and silver, it's like a small living palace.
The wheels started rolling.
Lu Lin suddenly said: "Although Miss Shaoyao is young, she is a beauty. Brother Fang, why do you refuse people thousands of miles away?"
Lu Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then what can I do? Can't I still marry and go home to be a mother-in-law?"
He also said: "With my poetic talent and appearance, how big of a mansion should I buy in the future?"
"Ha ha!"
Lu Lin pointed at Lu Fang, "You are so thick-skinned. Of course it's inappropriate to be a mother-in-law, but it's great to be a maid!"
Lu Fang shook his head, "I don't see any difference. Do you dare to say that you haven't secretly tasted the maids in your house?"
Lu Lin raised his eyebrows, "Of course I have tasted it, but that is their blessing."
He spoke righteously.
Lu Fang was a little stunned.
Lu Lin added: "There are nearly a hundred maids in our Lu family, as well as aunties, wet nurses, etc., all of whom have signed a contract of sale. Over the years, one after another, they can be arranged to run the business at home.
There are only a handful of them, and not many of them survive to become nuns. Most of them save enough money to redeem themselves, choose to go home, and then find a man to marry. But among those who actually get married, how many of them can be compared to us?
Is the Lu family so comfortable? Even if you are a nanny, you will have enough food and clothing, and most of them will be partners with the servants, so that they will not be lonely and helpless."
"Not to mention those personal maids who have been blessed. Take my father's women as an example. Several of them were once maids. Now as my father's concubines, no matter how low their status is, they can still be in the same position.
We, the Lu family, take care of our servants, provide food and clothing, and are pampered and pampered. Even if my father fails to take them as concubines, our Lu family still uses money to support them every month and does not let them do any menial work. You
Say, isn’t this more comfortable and comfortable than marrying those idle men?”
Having said this, he paused.
Then he went on to say: "Miss Shaoyao committed herself to a place like Feixian Tower and took the three thousand taels from you without redeeming herself. Not surprisingly, she must have had some difficulties. In all likelihood, she was sold by her family.
After I came out, I don’t want to go back to such a sad place. If I am happy with you, someone must take care of it, and I think you are a reliable person, Brother Fang."
"Haha, if you don't want her, you may make this little girl very sad. Then she will be deceived by some low-class young man who claims to be romantic. If you don't tell her, you may lose your personal fortune.
Both are empty. The possibility of being ransomed and taken home is extremely low. Even if you are redeemed, becoming a concubine is just a matter of smoke on the ancestral grave. Did you know that this Yanhe Street is asking for trouble every year?
How many Qing Guaner and Red Guaner are there?"
"How many?"
Lu Fangdao.
Lu Lin said quietly: "There are always a dozen or so. Some hanged themselves directly, and some drank poisonous wine. There are also many who sank in the river in front."
"Isn't that true?"
Lu Fang said in surprise.
Lu Lin glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with this? Only women who are open-minded can get by in such a place of fireworks, and most of them will not have any good results in the end. They can find someone to rely on when they grow old and lose their luster."
You are already a very good man. I can see that you are a good person, but I really need to sympathize with that girl Shaoyao. Taking her back to be a maid is better than anything else. Because even if I become a maid for you, I can guarantee that she will never have any trouble in this life.
He will end up on the streets."
Lu Fang had a strange look on his face, "Didn't you accept the benefits of peony and come to be her lobbyist?"
"Fuck you uncle!"
Lu Lin laughed and scolded, "What good can she do to me?"
Looking at this attitude, he now truly regards Lu Fang as a friend.
Lu Fang rolled his eyes, "Then why didn't I see any oiran lady you brought back from Feixian Tower?"
"Can that compare?"
Lu Lin said angrily: "Damn it, if I had the looks and talent like you, I could take half of the oiran lady from Feixian Tower home. But then again, in Feixian Tower like this
This place is only interesting for people like Miss Shaoyao who have just come in to redeem it. Anyone who stays here for more than half a year will not be a blessing but a disaster if he is taken back."
Lu Fang became more and more confused as he listened, "How can I say this?"
Lu Lin smiled softly and said, "Women in this kind of place have more eyes than anything else. Within half a year, no matter how innocent the girl was, she had more eyes than her mother's hair. She took her home and changed her ways every day.
I am jealous of the women in your family, do you think it is a blessing or a curse?"
Lu Fang curled his lips and stopped talking.
This guy Lu Lin really does one thing after another.
This is probably the result of being exposed to it since childhood.
After all, I grew up in a different environment than these people, and I don't view problems as thoroughly as they do.
The environment of this era is not like that of later generations...
The various dark sides of life are much more straightforward.
