Li Ruo was wearing a veil and sitting in a wing of the Tingbei Building.
Poppy opened the door and came in. As soon as she saw her, she shed tears of excitement. She stepped forward and hugged her tightly, saying: "Li Ruo, it's really you!"
In Jile Tower, Li Ruo always lived alone and had few friends.
Once when Li Ruo was preaching with the leader, he met Yu Xiang.
Yu Xiang's mother was a prostitute in a brothel. Later she contracted an illness and died, and lost her mother's protection. The old madam in the brothel ignored Yu Xiang's grief and forced the thirteen-year-old Yu Xiang to receive customers.
Yu Xiang was desperate and wanted to die, so she jumped down from the building. Li Ruo happened to be passing by and caught her.
Li Ruo originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but after learning about Yu Xiang's life experience, he thought of himself back then.
She asked the leader to let Yu Xiang enter the Goddess Cult. This was the first time she asked the leader.
Later, Yu Xiang and Li Ruo entered Ji Le House and studied pipa skills carefully. Ji Le House was still a brothel, but it was more famous.
Although a few years later, Yu Xiang still could not escape the fate of receiving guests, but under Li Ruo's care, Yu Xiang did not suffer much because she played the pipa well and became a famous pipa girl in Ji Le Tower.
It can be said that Yu Xiang was Li Ruo's only friend before he met Gu Yu.
Since the collapse of the Jile Building, Li Ruo's whereabouts were unknown. Yu Xiang was determined to find her, but at that time there was a rebellion in Jiangnan, and she, a woman with no power to restrain a chicken, could not even leave Jiangnan.
Then I heard that the goddess came to the world and the teachings were renewed.
Then conflicts broke out between believers who believed in the new doctrine and those who believed in the old doctrine.
In the end, the conflict was won by the Protestant teachings. After Yu Xiang listened to the Protestant teachings, she realized that she had been deceived and extremely ignorant.
Some time ago, Mr. Yin from the city that never sleeps told her that Li Ruo was in Kyoto and was waiting for her to come over.
She packed her bags and came to Kyoto, where she arrived at the cup shop.
Li Ruodao: "Thank you for coming all the way."
Yu Xiang wiped the tears on her face and said: "I can see you, no matter how hard you work, it's all worth it. Tell me, what have you experienced in the past six months?"
Li Ruodao: "There are some things that I can't tell you. The only thing I can tell you is that I am now the concubine of Duke Zhen Guo. This restaurant is also owned by Grandpa Gu. There is no flesh and blood business here. If you can trust me,
, just live a good life here, Mr. Gu is a good man and will not treat you badly."
A series of unbelievable information stunned Yu Xiang, why did Li Ruo suddenly become someone's concubine, why was there no sex business in such a big restaurant, and why did Li Ruo let her stay.
But Li Ruo had already told her that there was something unspeakable, so she didn't ask any more questions, as Li Ruo would not harm her.
Yu Xiang said: "Okay."
Li Ruo gave her a token and said, "If anything happens, take this token and come to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to find me."
...
On the other side, Ma Lin, the steward of the restaurant, was almost bald. He showed Gu Yu the bills of the past few days. The money was spent like water, which made Ma Lin feel heartbroken.
Ma Lindao: "My boss, if this continues, we will have to die."
Gu Yudao: "Don't worry, the money spent now is worth it. Once the reputation is built, if you want to get your money back in the future, it will be quick."
Although he knew that Mr. Gu's vision was not comparable to his, this did not prevent Ma Lin from feeling heartbroken when looking at the money.
After coming out of Tingbei Building, Gu Yu got on the carriage going back. Li Ruo also got on the carriage after reminiscing with Yu Xiang.
Gu Yu lowered his head and said nothing. Li Ruo found that Gu Yu had been particularly silent these days, and she wisely did not speak.
At this time, there was a noise not far away. Li Ruo opened the curtain and saw a woman being carried into the snow by several strong servants. At the same time, a pipa with a broken string was thrown out.
The woman stood up staggeringly and cursed: "Zhao Guang, you beast! I buried your parents, and the cost of your trip to Beijing was all earned by singing. Now you have climbed a high branch and are next to you."
Aristocratic family, but you threw me aside, you are not a human being."
The man named Zhao Guang said: "What nonsense are you talking about! You are just a cheap singer, how can you deserve to be with me!"
The woman put her hands on her waist and said, "Bah, that's not what you said when you coaxed me to get money at Wanhua Tower!"
When she pointed out the scandalous things Zhao Guang had done, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, saying: "You shrew! You are vulgar!"
The woman shouted with a loud voice: "I used to be a pretty girl in Wanhua Tower, but now I'm old and yellow. You think I'm vulgar. Why didn't you think I was vulgar when you licked your face and coaxed me to get money?"
You said you came to marry me after you got rich, but it turned out that you were lying to me. Pay me back! Pay me back!"
Zhao Guang took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve and threw it to the ground, saying: "Bitch who is jealous of money, take the money and get out!"
The woman picked up the money from the ground and cried: "I gave you so much money, and you sent me away with just a few taels of silver. You are a beast inferior to a pig and a dog! You should be cut to pieces!"
"
As she spoke, she went to pull up Zhao Guang's trousers, but was kicked away by Zhao Guang.
Zhao Guang sneered and said: "I advise you to be wise and get out of here quickly, otherwise I will send you to the government in the name of making trouble."
The woman felt a little frightened when she heard the word "official government" and said, "You don't run the official government."
Zhao Guangdao: "I don't run the government, but my master does. Mr. Dali Temple, do you know how big an official you are? If you keep pestering me, I will tell my master that you will be executed in Lingchi."
This statement made no sense, but the woman had never read a book and was used to being honest. She was half convinced and wanted to quit.
But she was still unwilling to give in and scolded: "Your job was exchanged for my money! Otherwise, you would never be able to enter the family in eight lifetimes. You just kicked me aside because of the power of the family."
Zhao Guang was impatient to the extreme. He winked at a few of his followers, and they stepped forward one after another.
The woman also had a stern look and a weak heart. When she saw someone approaching, she was so frightened that she picked up the broken string of her lute and ran away crying.
Zhao Guang pouted on the ground and cursed: "Damn it, a prostitute with such an old age dares to come to my door to bring displeasure and misfortune to me."
After he finished cursing, he led people into Di's house.
Gu Yu narrowed his eyes when he saw this scene in the carriage.
Li Ruo said angrily: "Looking at his clothes, that betrayer seems to be a steward of the Di family, and he dares to bully people like this."
Gu Yu looked at the door plaque of the Di family and got off the carriage.
Li Ruo also followed and said, "Young Master, do you want to help her?"
Gu Yu remained silent.
It's not a favor, it's an exchange of interests.
Shao Wuji had no weaknesses, but he recognized that his godson Di Luo was covered in lice.
She can't touch Shao Wuji now, but she can still add trouble to Di Luo.
In addition, for what she was about to do, the presence of Di Luo, the minister of Dali Temple, would definitely give her a stumbling block.
