After applying the medicine and removing his hair, Shen Yuan wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep. Feiyue came back after eating and washing up, and stayed outside to spend the night. The cool smell of the medicinal oil spread little by little, and the smell made people feel good. sleep.
Shen Yuan went to bed early today, and the front hall outside was still busy. The quiet location of her room did not affect her. The singer named Chang Huan in the hall was singing a song, "Plucking Wei", and the Qingyi Dance Ji danced gracefully on the flower platform in the middle, and what was flying around was the white and soft sleeves. Behind the carved railing on the second floor, Caiyun grabbed the handrail and looked at the stage with envy. Until now, I thought of the day The scene in the piano pavilion, she still couldn't believe it was real.
Caiyun really wondered why the former top lady hated her so much. Caiyun was a child from a poor family, and she worked in the fields for food. She was not called this name originally. She was a poor girl, so how could she get such a serious name? They all call her "Second Girl". The name Caiyun was changed to her after she entered Lengxiang Pavilion because her mother in charge thought it sounded ugly.
When she was a child, there were many children in her family, but there was only one boy, her eldest brother. After that, her mother gave birth to three girls in succession. In her memory, her father was always sighing. When there was a famine that year, they were three sisters. She wanted to be sold as a child bride in exchange for some food to feed her nephew, but after searching around, no one was willing to open her mouth.
Her father went around asking questions for five days, and finally fell on the threshold when he returned home. Her mother and three sisters worked together to drag him up. Her mother shed tears all night, and the next day she brought Yapo .
At least she could have enough to eat in Lengxiang Pavilion. Caiyun was content. Occasionally, when chatting, she would mention where she was from. Not long after, she began to encounter some strange unlucky things, such as muddy water being splashed on her freshly washed clothes. , she just had a stomachache every day for three days, until one day, her mother in charge told her that the new top boss asked her to serve her, but she turned red in the face at the first meeting.
Caiyun secretly cried for a while and did not dare to tell anyone. From then on, Guanying beat and scolded her frequently. She gradually seemed to get used to it and endured it silently, thinking that was it.
It wasn't until that hellish night that Caiyun realized that the boss's hatred for her had reached a morbid state. She refused and wanted to call someone, but the boss held her chin and threatened that if she annoyed the guests by shouting, she would be punished. Beaten to death. She bit her lower lip and did not dare to make a sound, humiliatingly accepting the fate. Afterwards, the leader lazily tilted his body and let her drink a bowl of Bizi soup as a reward.
When Guanying was punished, she felt a little secretly happy, but then fear took over her brain. Her eyes trembled past Guanying's miserable state, and the pavilion master and the courtesan looked at everything that happened in front of them so calmly. The pavilion master just ordered the action. She's a beautiful person... But that courtesan looks like she's only fifteen or sixteen years old. Why can she be so calm and composed...
The oiran's words and deeds were all too indifferent. Even when he witnessed the tragic situation of Guanying, his beautiful face was not the least bit different. Caiyun had never seen a woman who could be so cold. She was That kind of momentum is so intimidating that I don't dare to speak nonsense.
She saw with her own eyes that the blood-stained and pale face of Guanying formed a strong contrast with the oiran's carefully sketched pretty face and just the right shy smile, which frightened her to the core and made her unable to stop. The place trembled, finally attracting the attention of the oiran.
He was also looking at himself kneeling on the ground from a high position. The oriole looked like a devil, while the Mo Shang oiran looked like a god. So Caiyun knelt down and said something that the oiran would not be disgusted with.
A person who can have the temperament of a god will never be a Rakshasa...
Sure enough, Caiyun's bet was right.
When the oiran held her hand, the touch made her heart tremble in surprise. The oiran's skin was fair and soft, but cool, and her knuckles were long and clear, with a delicate luster like porcelain, and a vague air.
The bitter and cool fragrance of the person. That frown and smile also amazed her. With such a close contact, Caiyun truly realized the charm of the usually unsmiling Oiran.
She has a unique attraction. As long as she stands there, people will fall in love with her at first sight; if she gives a look, people will fall into those eyes; if she smiles again and speaks, she will really know how to do it.
The important person will completely bow under her pomegranate skirt, give up all pride, and bow his head.
When she returned to her room in the afternoon, Caiyun found that the room had changed a lot. There was a charcoal fire in the stove, a new apricot-colored embroidered bird bed curtain was replaced on the bed, and new tables and chairs were also replaced. Then the housekeeper's mother also came,
I would like to inform you that in the future, you don’t have to go to get the food and hot water in person. Just like other girls, the maids will come to deliver them on time.
After sending away the steward mother, she sat on the bed, looked up at the embroidery of an orchid on the new bed tent, and hugged the water-sleeved mantle tightly in her arms. At that moment, Caiyun understood that she was also attracted to Mo Shang Oiran.
, I want to follow her, catch up in her footsteps, and become someone who can stand with her, or even someone as beautiful as her.
Training Caiyun also relieved Shen Yuan's long days of boredom. It took Caiyun five days to learn all the ten basic skills of Shuixiu, and then repeated them endlessly for another four days. From the second day, Shen Yuan trained Caiyun in the afternoon and in the morning
Let her follow Feiyue and Feiyun and learn how to comb hair, serve tea, and embroider. He watched from the side, constantly correcting Caiyun's manners, and reminding her how to walk, sit, stand, and speak as a flower card.
, how to treat others gracefully.
The oiran lady didn't have much patience, and she would often be beaten and scolded if she didn't do well. But Caiyun was rare and humble and obedient, and did it over and over again until she was satisfied. Shen Yuan saw it in his eyes.
Here, I don’t think about the reason for her advancement. Anyway, she is just fighting for a third of an acre in order to survive.
Mo Yuanyuan always knew what Shen Yuan was doing and never interfered. The wife of the pavilion master held out a Sheng Qiu Xiao, but it didn't look like it was of much use. Although Miss Sheng was good, she was a little too pretentious.
To put it bluntly, the business in the brothel is nothing more than this. Who can't see what others are thinking? Shen Yuan has always understood that Qiu Xiao is unwilling in her heart, but she doesn't have a good life, living under someone else's roof.
Just for the sake of a place to live, there is no capital to oppose.
But Caiyun was completely different. The court lady gave her a step, and she climbed up happily and hurriedly. She was afraid that if she missed a step, she would be thrown into the mud puddle with no hope at all. This chapter has been completed!
