Chapter 256: The Grass Ying Shines and Is Not a Fire
"The red polygonum grows near the water, and the willow tree is slender, weak and easy to break. The flowers illuminated by the water are no more than a yellow beam of sleep; the world is impermanent, and will eventually turn into smoke and dust. All living beings, with their various forms, are no more than a speck of dust under the gods' fingers."
The brocade quilt in the Nuan Pavilion was warm and soft. Shen Yuan played with the freshly cut wintersweet flowers in his hands and slowly answered the questions of the personal maid. "Liao Chen" had a good name but was difficult to understand. Caiyun got a new name and was confused as to whether he understood it. He Yi, I just knew it sounded good, so I thanked you and went back to dance practice happily.
"When the girl said this, although I don't quite understand it, I feel sad." Feiyue said with a smile, "It's just...since I want to praise her, the girl named Caiyun like this, I'm worried. It has no effect."
Shen Yuan didn't take it seriously: "If you call her 'Mei'er' or 'Feng'er', it's popular enough, but I'm afraid that her guests will also be vulgar. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort."
Feiyue was wiping a tea cup in her hand, seeming to understand: "The young lady has thought carefully, so I hope that sister Liaochen can live up to her trust and get a good fortune one day."
Throughout the afternoon, Lengxiang Oiran did not set foot in the Qin Pavilion again, and quietly listened for a while through the window sash. Sheng Qiuxiao remained as usual, and Shen Yuan did not worry about it. He turned around and asked Feiyun to call Xiaoju and stay with him.
Sheng Qiu Xiao is a good match for Xiao Ju sisters. When the two of them are alone, they will also say some thoughtful words. But when there are secrets that cannot be confided, Qiu Xiao refuses to express them to this girl. Until the evening, one day A young maid came to the Qin Pavilion to send a message, asking Qiu Xiao to go back upstairs to prepare early. A distinguished guest asked her to accompany her to perform a dance. Qiu Xiao silently nodded in response, and Xiao Ju followed beside her, only to vaguely notice the loss in her girl's eyes. .
"Sister, aren't you happy?" The maid waited until there was no third person around, then asked in a cautious voice.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Qiu Xiao shook her head, forcing a smile on her lips, and then looked back at Liao Chen who was hurriedly walking in the distance, "Let's go quickly, you go get some water for me first, I want to Take a bath."
Xiaoju stepped away in response, leaving Qiu Xiao to go back to the building alone. The little maid who came to deliver the message was called Chun Yu, and she was walking with Liao Chen and seemed to be talking. Qiu Xiao knew the inside story. He came with full confidence, and had already secretly selected Chun Yu to serve Liao Chen personally in the future.
Sure enough, no matter where you are, as long as you have the highest power, you can control the fate of others.
Even in this area of Fireworks Willow Alley, the mother and daughter named Mo Zhang are not very free themselves, but when they interact with the girls below, they are already a life-or-death existence.
Qiu Xiao was not envious, but felt increasingly intense sadness, not only for herself, but also for Shang's mother.
She felt that if she had a choice, she would really rather die than live here. Shang's mother kindly gave her a life, and An Zhi was not in the same boat. They were both far away from their homeland, wandering and incompatible with their surroundings. To survive, we have to remain silent and settle down, so that to a certain extent, each other is the only belief that supports us.
Now that even Shang's mother is gone, Sheng Qiuxiao doesn't know what to do.
Will you continue to be attached to the courtesan?
Everyone said that Lengxiang Ayan was a fairy-like person, but Sheng Qiuxiao felt from the bottom of her heart that she was just an ordinary woman, and it was only through the blessing of God that she had a very beautiful appearance, which could offset the flaws in her temperament.
The oiran is not bad, but unfortunately he is not kind enough. But... for Qiu Xiao, it is enough.
She knew that from now on, she would be completely alone, and would fall into endless regret and panic for the rest of her life. Facing Mo Changyan, she couldn't talk or speak freely, and she had to find excuses even for crying that she couldn't hold back.
to cover up.
Living like this is really tiring.
The winter night came too quickly, and the time was fleeting. There was no room for her to feel sad about spring and autumn, so she walked back quickly through the snow with her skirt in hand. She had never had a bath in the evening, the hot water pressed against her skin, and the fragrant soap was fine.
Hua Hua, Xiaoju massaged her shoulders and back to relieve the fatigue from the whole day.
As usual, she is dressed in gorgeous clothes, with fashionable glazed pearl hairpins jingling and sparkling, her peach blossoms and rouge dotted cheeks are as charming as drunkenness, her jade neck and lotus arms are under her dark red gauze skirt, her every move and every move is charming.
Everyone thought they could feast their eyes on the stunning glimpse on the flower stage, but Miss Qiu Xiao only stayed with a smile and meandered away. The audience sighed for a while and then gave up. Then there was dancing and singing instead, and it was still charming.
Lively and beautiful.
"Now this girl Qiu Xiao is a top celebrity in Lengxiang Pavilion. It's hard to find her in one dance."
The unique casual tone penetrated the silk and bamboo, and lightly penetrated into the ears and eyes of the guests. The man in the corner who ordered a pot of small wine looked heroic, and he was also dressed as a man, and he was somewhat similar to the sommelier in front of him who was wearing red and flowers. Liu Quyin
With a smile on his face, he unceremoniously pulled out a stool and sat down.
"Don't stare, there are so many people watching, and I can't do anything to you." The guest was about to get angry, but Liu Quyin made a preemptive strike, pressing the back of the opposite hand with one finger, and quietly hiding his other hand under the table, with a silver needle in his sleeve waiting for him.
His hair was straight, his eyes were crooked, and there was a hint of threat at the end of his eyes.
The person she faced was a top-level master, but at that time, war was raging in the Northeast, and a small and weak woman went south alone to find her relatives. She experienced countless fights along the way, and she was able to come back intact, which showed that she, Liu Quyin, was not bad at all.
The sommelier at Lengxiang Pavilion has a rogue temper, and after a few rounds, even the most sinister person will be helpless. Xingchen did not come here because of the instruction of Mr. Folding Fan - the life of the secret guard is difficult, and it is not easy to survive.
After half a day of leisure and relaxation, she had nowhere else to go, so she walked into Lengxiang Pavilion by accident.
He had just killed someone here, and Xingchen didn't want to set foot there, but when he saw that everything in the building was as usual, nothing was different at all, he had to be surprised at the determination of the people in Lengxiang, let alone what the person above and behind the scenes was planning.
There were crowds of people, fragrant clothes and beautiful faces, so she sat down and looked at the group of orioles and swallows around her. They were all fat and thin, but the young lady from the previous day was nowhere to be seen, the one that her master couldn't forget.
She is a woman and has no obsession with appreciating beauties. She hid in the dark and listened for most of the night, and she also got a rough idea of the little oiran's temper. It was true that she was not to the master's liking at all. Who would have thought...
That's all, things like fate are probably so mysterious that ordinary people are not worthy of prying into heaven's secrets.
"What do you want?"
She didn't see the oiran, but instead waited for a nasty person she didn't want to see. Xingchen was in a bad mood immediately. She knew very well that this bartender was not a kind person, and he would be the master's old enemy. This chapter has been completed!
