There was a rotten and musty smell in the room, and there was a tattered quilt on the bed. Hidden under the quilt was a woman with a black shoulder and a frightened face.
By the candlelight, the woman's facial features were very delicate. The skinny monkey was right, she was a beauty, but she was a little darker. I don't know if it was stolen goods or if she was born that way.
Now, the black beauty carefully looked at the masked Feng Hongluan in front of her with a pair of horrifying eyes, and said tremblingly: "Uncle, uncle, I, I, I..."
"You stutter?" If you stutter, that's not easy to deal with.
The woman shook her head and tightened the quilt even more. She seemed to be very scared. This look made Feng Hongluan feel a little bit unbearable: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
"Uncle, yes, you want me?"
"Oh, don't worry, I'm not interested in you."
After hearing these two sentences, the woman seemed to feel relieved a little: "Then what do you want from me?"
"Are you from Jingzhou?"
Feng Hongluan was not straightforward enough to understand her purpose, so she asked first.
The black beauty nodded timidly: "Yes."
"Where is Jingzhou?"
"Qili County, Jingzhou."
"Oh, there!" Feng Hongluan looked at the woman for a while, looking at her dilapidated and rotten room, and the thin quilt that couldn't warm her body, she asked: "How many years have you been here?"
"Can't remember."
"That man just now, was your lover?"
"No, it's not." She seemed a little embarrassed to say it, and her eyes turned red.
"Are they here to bully you?"
She nodded.
Feng Hongluan stood up, looked at her trembling body, untied the woolen cloak on her body, and stepped forward. She shrank down in obvious fear, but she heard Feng Hongluan smile softly: "Don't be afraid, I said
But, I won't hurt you, and I have no interest in your body. Put it on, don't get cold."
The black beauty was startled and looked at Feng Hongluan blankly. Her eyes were filled with confusion, as if she had not thought that there was a man in this world whom she had never met before, but he treated her so sincerely and was superior, but he did not look down on her.
The material of his cloak was of the highest quality. It was the first time in her life that she had worn clothes made of such a soft material. His body temperature was still on the cloak, and there was a refreshing fragrance of green bamboo.
I feel that this is not a cold winter day, but a spring day with lush bamboo leaves. The sunshine is so warm and warm that it penetrates deep into my heart.
Looking at her grateful eyes, Feng Hongluan knew that the time was almost ripe and it was time to explain his purpose: "May I ask the girl her name."
"I, they all call me Xiaoyan."
"Miss Xiaoyan, actually, I came to you today because I need your help for something. After the job is completed, I will give you a good job to ensure that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life and will no longer be bullied.
You will live alone in this place. You will have friends and family, and you can get married and live a good life like an upright Beijing citizen."
She described the blueprint for the future so beautifully that Xiaoyan's eyes lit up. She never thought that she would live such a beautiful life.
"If Xiaoyan can really get out of this place, the uncle will be Xiaoyan's reborn parent. Xiaoyan will kowtow to the uncle first. No matter what the uncle asks Xiaoyan to do, Xiaoyan will go through fire and water without hesitation."
As she spoke, she knelt down under the quilt, and the quilt slipped off, revealing a large area of her chest. Although there was some dirt, the few places that were occasionally clean were very tender and smooth. Feng Hongluan was afraid that she would catch cold, so he quickly stepped forward to help her.
The moment he touched her arm, he could clearly feel her body trembling, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.
Remembering that she was now a man, Feng Hongluan quickly retracted her arm in a measured manner: "Miss Xiaoyan, there is no need to be polite. I won't let you go through fire and water. I just need you to do me a small favor."
"Sir, it doesn't matter."
Feng Hongluan looked out the window and seemed to vaguely hear some rustling sounds. She curled her lips and smiled a little coldly. Was someone eavesdropping? These people are not afraid of being eavesdropped.
Are you going to die and survive until dawn tomorrow?
Walking to the bedside, she whispered a few words to Xiaoyan and stood up: "Miss Xiaoyan, I'll take my leave tonight. See you later."
Looking at her leaving figure, Xiaoyan was quite absent-minded. She was very reluctant to leave her. After living for many years, this was the first time that someone treated her with courtesy. They didn't belittle her, didn't ruin her, and didn't look down on her.
, and he was talking to her with such a gentle smile. Although he was covering his face, those clear black eyes were deeply, deeply engraved in Xiaoyan's heart.

This autumn rain has a tendency to be endless. Counting the last few days, it has lasted for seven days. However, on this day, although a few raindrops fell sparsely in the morning, it stopped raining after breakfast.
.
After finishing the meal, Liu Xiang took the rice bowl to the kitchen. Before leaving, he turned around and asked Feng Hongluan: "Miss, Mr. Ling is afraid that he will take the young lady to Taiguan Temple. The young lady is also ready to prepare. The servant will be here soon."
Go to the kitchen and get the ordered vegetarian food."
"Yes!" Feng Hongluan responded lightly. Thinking of the good show that would be staged later, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but evoke a sarcastic, cold smile, Ling Che, now, it's your turn.
Taiguan Temple is the largest temple in the capital. The place is full of incense all year round, and there are constant pilgrims. People come to ask for children, wealth, peace, and officials. There is an endless stream. The abbot of Taiguan Temple was originally
The monk who supervises the temple in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the palace is now appointed to be the abbot of Taiguan Temple. Because he came from the palace, he has a high prestige, which also attracts the strong popularity of Taiguan Temple.
Ling Che and Feng Hongluan were walking side by side on the way to Taiguan Temple. To show their sincerity, they got off the sedan at the foot of the mountain and walked up.
"Hongluan, I heard that Uncle Feng didn't go to the morning court in the past two days."
Feng Hongluan pretended to be careless and said: "Brother Ling is not a member of the court, but he is so clear about who goes to court and who doesn't!"
