The girl's mouth came out with a short cry that was almost a moan, and the cry was also mixed with short words, "Help me..."
The girl cried softly and called for help in an indistinguishable voice, as if she was afraid that others would hear her!
Ding Yunyi calmed down and thought that the woman in front of him should also calm down. Looking at the teapot on the table, Ding Yunyi poured a cup of tea and brought it to the girl. He said softly: "Girl, drink some water! Don't cry yet."
With this rather handsome face, he should be quite comforting to the girl.
The girl took the tea cup, and Ding Yunyi's fingertips touched the girl's hand. He lightly slid it over and immediately felt it was extremely hot. You can imagine how her body would be boiling hot.
Maybe it really drove away the fear from the girl, the woman's crying gradually stopped, and her shoulders stopped shaking.
Under the candlelight, the girl drinking tea has a graceful posture, like a fairy in the sky. Ding Yunyi wondered in his heart, how could such a beautiful girl like a fairy end up in a place like Fireworks and Willow Alley and become a prostitute?
Ding Yunyi couldn't help but ask questions.
According to the girl's story, her name is Tang Ruoliu, she is fourteen years old, and today is her first time receiving a guest. She started crying again and called for help.
Ding Yunyi quickly comforted her. Although she thought it was interesting to meet a yellow-haired girl for the first time in a brothel, this was obviously not the time to be interesting. Ding Yunyi asked her to tell her exactly what she had experienced.
Tang Ruoliu's father was from Xiamen, and he was considered a successful man. As a civil servant, he also owned a large-scale grain store. In an era when rice was very expensive, it was a profitable business.
Doing business requires integrity, but as a businessman in this era, if you have too much integrity, you will be in a desperate situation. This is the case for Tang Ruoliu's father. After being introduced by an acquaintance, he bought rice for 20,000 taels. He originally thought it was
It was introduced by an acquaintance. It was unmistakable. Who would have known that the day after the rice was sold, the government came to the door and said they wanted to check the rice. It didn't matter after checking, because the rice turned out to be military rations.
Tang Ruoliu's father was immediately taken away by the government, and his home was immediately sealed. The once prosperous Tang Mansion became deserted, and the family's three meals a day became a problem, let alone a lawsuit for the wronged head.
It was Tang Ruoliu's turn to suffer. Seeing that life could no longer go on, her second uncle planned to sell Tang Ruoliu. In fact, Tang Ruoliu's sister Tang Xiao also wanted to be sold, but Tang Xiao, who was only ten years old, was obviously worthless.
, only Tang Ruoliu was sold for fifty taels of silver.
Tang Ruoliu's beauty can be recognized by most people. She was sold by traffickers for eighty taels of silver, and she was sold to this brothel. She has been sold three or four times.
When she first arrived at the brothel, Tang Ruoliu didn't know what fate was waiting for her. It wasn't until the madam told her that she had to sell herself to pick up customers that she realized she had become a prostitute.
Tang Ruoliu was extremely frightened. She had been educated in poetry and etiquette. When she thought about the first man who took her virginity away, and when she thought about being about to commit herself to a strange man who paid her money, she felt a mixture of sadness and fear.
Ding Yunyi looked at Tang Ruoliu in front of him silently. The beauty under the light was no less than that of a goddess descending to earth. Tang Ruoliu was slender and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. Such a woman who had just cried was like a peony flower hanging with dew.
Full of charm and temptation. I'm afraid I will never meet such a woman in the future! Ding Yunyi suddenly felt a desire rising in his heart, and the blood in his veins rose and fell several times, impacting Ding Yunyi's will.
Meeting such a beauty, for Ding Yunyi, who had not been close to a woman for a long time, the desire was really too strong. The impulse filled every part of his body, and he couldn't help but hold Tang Ruoliu's hand while his blood was surging.
Tang Ruoliu's hand was soft and boneless, as warm as warm jade. Holding Tang Ruoliu's hand, Ding Yunyi felt that the strong desire seemed to burst out of his body. He held her hand and moved it upwards, pressing her down on the bed. Tang Ruoliu
There was no struggle, just the body shaking involuntarily, and tears flowing from the corners of the eyes to the sockets of the ears.
When Ding Yunyi's lips covered Tang Ruoliu's lips, he saw her face that seemed to have been damaged by the wind and rain. Ding Yunyi's heart twitched a few times, and the pain in his body disappeared quickly. He sat on the edge of the bed and cursed secretly.
A few words to myself...
Tang Ruoliu was a little puzzled. She didn't know why the man who looked like a ferocious beast just now suddenly became silent. Seeing the change in the face of the person in front of her, her heart also jumped.
Ding Yunyi decided to save Tang Ruoliu and get her out of this drunken place. Of course, Ding Yunyi also found a reason for himself to take action, which was what happened to Tang Ruoliu. Tang Ruoliu's father was wrongly accused for no reason. Ding Yunyi, the president of Fujian Province,
Master Bing has the responsibility to distinguish right from wrong! Determined, Ding Yunyi immediately went to the first floor to find the old bustard.
"How's it going? Isn't it very happy? Come down now and play with your hands?" the madam asked with a flattering smile.
Ding Yunyi got straight to the point and said: "The woman is good. I am very satisfied with it, so I want to take her home to be my concubine. That's why I came to you to ask about her worth. If she is suitable, I will buy it. If not, then I have no choice."
.”
The disguised identity is a businessman, so he has to look like a businessman, although Ding Yunyi has already made up his mind that he must save Tang Ruoliu.
After hearing what the guest said, the madam was shocked, "You want to buy her? Do you want to buy her as a concubine?" She was surprised but also hesitated, not knowing what to do.
Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not unheard of. The prostitutes who hang out in the wine ponds and meat forests are often wealthy people. If they encounter a woman who likes the fireworks, they will redeem her life. The golden house hides the beauty.
"Master Ke, you also know that she is still a young girl. Master Ke is her first man. She is young and beautiful. Not only has she read a great book, she is also the most beautiful woman in our area..."
The madam hesitated for a moment, then immediately started to plan to raise Tang Ruoliu's worth. She spent nearly one hundred and fifty taels on Tang Ruoliu, but it was a large amount of money. To redeem her life, she had to calculate it carefully.
"How much? Just tell me something." Ding Yunyi didn't have time to talk to the madam.
"Six hundred taels." The madam said simply.
"Five hundred taels, the person is my Yi." Ding Yunyi knew that five hundred taels was the madam's psychological price. Otherwise, she would not ask for the amount of 600 taels, and all she wanted was for Ding Yunyi to pay her five hundred taels.
Duan San'er came out happily and saw a young girl standing next to the Lord of the Town. He was stunned for a moment and understood what was going on. He had previously ordered the Madam to find a girl with a yellow flower for the Lord of the Town, but he did not expect that she would be so charming.
moving.
"Go back!" Ding Yunyi nodded to Duan San'er: "You are filial! You made a basket and put your employer in it."
Duan San'er heard that this was wrong and shuddered and said: "I don't dare..."
Tang Ruoliu never dreamed that her first customer would redeem her life. That was five hundred taels of silver! Of course, she was very happy, at least she didn't have to live the life of having a baby, and not only that.
Her current owner can be said to be young, handsome, and good-looking. Even when her family was not ruined, it was not easy to find such a husband! She jumped from hell to heaven at once, making Tang Ruoliu follow them back in a daze.
Arrive at the inn.
Back at the inn, Ding Yunyi booked another room for Tang Ruoliu to stay, and called Duan Saner back, "Something happened in Xiamen..."
Ding Yunyi recounted what happened to Tang Ruoliu's family: "We have just arrived in Xiamen, and this matter must be investigated clearly. Send someone to Xiamen to inquire and see what they can find out. Military rations are being resold, and you must not take it lightly.
, besides, there is such injustice among them.”
Duan Saner quickly said, "I understand, I will send someone to do it now."
The mayor is right, the military rations have been resold, and that is no small matter.
When he got up in the morning, Ding Yunyi was shocked because Tang Ruoliu stood in front of Ding Yunyi. There was a basin of warm water beside him, so there was no need to ask whether this was to serve Ding Yunyi.
Tang Ruoliu used to be considered a noble lady, a master who was served by others.
But the family suffered a misfortune, and the young lady's temper was gone. Last night, she spent the whole night thinking about being redeemed from a brothel. She is not Guanyin or Tathagata. She must be discerning no matter what, so Tian
She got up before the light was on and asked the shop owner to boil the water. She didn't come in to wait until there was some movement in the room.
During this period of time, Ding Yunyi took care of himself. Seeing Tang Ruoliu like this, Ding Yunyi didn't say anything and asked her to serve him. From this, he could see that Tang Ruoliu really didn't know how to serve others. The clothes she wore were extremely awkward. In the end, it was Ding Yunyi who
It would be more comfortable to fix it yourself.
"Tang Ruoliu, just rest in the inn! If you need anything, just tell them." Before going out, Ding Yunyi asked several other followers to take care of Tang Ruoliu.
When he came outside the small yamen in Xiamen where he was studying, he listened to the sound of reading coming from inside. Ding Yunyi smiled and said to Duan Saner: "I heard that Yuan Guangyi is a master of Chinese studies. You and I are both people who rarely read, pretending to be scholars.
Don’t embarrass yourself in front of others!”
When he walked into the Yamen, what surprised Ding Yunyi was that the interior was very exquisitely decorated. It was not close to the Yamen at all, but more like someone's garden.
"Excuse me, what do you two want?" A strong man blocked the way of Ding Yunyi and Duan Saner.
"We are students from out of town. I heard that Mr. Yuan Guangyi was here to promote education and frugality, so we came here to visit. I hope I can spread the word." He handed over the purchased gifts and gave them to a few strong men.
Copper coins.
The strong man said "oh" and did not accept the gift or copper coins: "That's it! The two of you wait here for a moment, I will go and inform our master." After that, he turned around and went in to deliver the letter.
"Any kind of servant has a kind of master. It seems that this Yuan Guangyi is quite extraordinary!" Ding Yunyi had a good impression of the man just now. Being able to train such a servant shows that Yuan Guangyi still has a lot of skills.
In the inner yamen, Yuan Guangyi was talking with his favorite student Gong Taiyun, exchanging learning experiences. When he was working hard, a servant came to report that two students from other places came to visit.
Yuan Guangyi didn't care much about fame and fortune, but he was very conceited about his knowledge. When he heard that students from other places came to visit him, he couldn't say no, "Let them in!"
As he spoke, he turned to Gong Taiyun and said, "Jingsuke! Don't you still have a few students to teach?"
Gong Taiyun smiled and said: "Don't worry, let's see where these students come from. There are many talented people in the world. Maybe you can make one or two friends!"
"Students Ding Xiangwen and Duan San'er, meet Master Yuan." Ding Yunyi and Duan San'er came in. Without any introduction, they could tell who Yuan Guangyi was at a glance because he was wearing official uniform!
Yuan Guangyi hurriedly said, "You two don't have to be polite, Yuan is too embarrassed to be worthy of it! Please sit down quickly, I wonder where you two came from?" The two people Yuan Guangyi saw were not very old, but they were handsome and energetic.
He has a very good appearance and is quite likable.
Ding Yunyi coughed and said: "The two of us are from Fuzhou. When we were young, we could often hear Teacher Yuan's virtuous name. During our study trip, we learned that Teacher Yuan serves as a tutor here, so we came to see him. I hope the teacher doesn't think that
It’s better to be abrupt, a small gift, just think of it as the student’s thoughts!”
Ding Yunyi just finished speaking, and Duan Saner on the side handed over the purchased gift.
Yuan Guangyi had no doubt about the identity of these two people. Seeing that the gift handed over was not a valuable item, he asked his servants to accept it.
Yuan Guangyi saw Ding Xiangwen and Duan Saner looking at Gong Taiyun, and introduced his beloved disciple, "This is Ding Yunyi's student Gong Taiyun Fu Jingshu."
In terms of real knowledge, Ding Yunyi and Duan Saner combined were not as good as one-tenth of their masters and apprentices, so they did not dare to talk about knowledge. Under Ding Yunyi's deliberate inducement, the conversation turned to scientific examinations.
"Brother Jingshu's knowledge is really admirable. He must have ranked among the top three in last year's scientific examination." Ding Yunyi deliberately flattered Gong Taiyun.
Gong Taiyun shook his head and said: "Jingshu's intention is to study, not to pursue an official career, but it makes the two of them laugh." Gong Taiyun had some opinions on these two people, feeling that they were flashy and did not necessarily have real knowledge.
Duan San'er said with an ooh, "Why don't you, sir, have no intention of pursuing a career in the imperial examination? Isn't it just for me to study to gain fame and shine on my family?"
There are some things Gong Taiyun shouldn't say, but his character makes him say whatever he wants and he can't hide things. He replied: "I can't stand some things in officialdom. It's very inappropriate for a character like mine."
If you hang out in the officialdom, once you enter the official career, you will only end up in a miserable state, and it is unknown whether you will survive or not!"
Yuan Guangyi couldn't help coughing when he saw Gong Taiyun's friendship with him. He was originally an upright minister, but after being attacked by the eunuchs several times, he had learned a lot and became more worldly.
Ding Yunyi and Duan Saner looked at each other. It seemed that it would not be easy to dig out something from Yuan Guangyi!
This well-known and talented man was very cautious, but Gong Taiyun had a straightforward personality and a deep relationship with Yuan Guangyi, so he had to use his strength against Gong Taiyun if he had the chance.
Yuan Guangyi was very hospitable. Seeing that it was time for dinner, he wanted to stay with Chongzhen and his ministers for dinner. Gong Taiyun stood up and said, "Teacher, it's time for Ding Yunyi to go back. There are some things to do in the academy in the afternoon."
When Ding Yunyi saw that Gong Taiyun was leaving, he immediately said:
"I have long heard that the declining Sanli Academy has prospered under the hands of Lord Yuan's masters and apprentices. The students really want to go and see it, and they also hope that Brother Jingshu can act as a guide." (To be continued. Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work.
