General's humble stand-in

The morning sun knocked on the firewood gate, crushing a little bit of golden color.There are birds chirping in my ears, as if singing the arrival of a new day.

Tao Zhuo didn't sleep all night, leaning his head against the damp wall, his breath was full of musty smell.Occasionally, a few mice ran past the feet, and they were not too afraid of people. They would stand up with two front paws as if watching Tao Zhuo's desolation at the moment.

Finally, someone opened the door, pulled Tao Zhuo off the ground without saying a word, and pushed him all the way to Qionghua Pavilion.

The princess was still putting on makeup not long after she got up, Tao Zhuo naturally knelt in the yard and waited.

—Two butterflies flew over, circling around Taozhuo.People are more beautiful than peach blossoms, but they can't be destroyed by wind and rain.

After a long time, the door was pushed open, Princess Pingnan was wearing that bright red embroidered pleated skirt again, and the delicate and cumbersome hair accessories on her head set off her delicate face.

"Come here, give him a few boards first. If you steal something, you must teach him a lesson."

Princess Pingnan sat lazily on the imperial concubine chair, took the peeled grapes from the plate, put them into the mouth one by one, and watched Tao Zhuo being beaten so hard that she couldn't straighten up in a leisurely way.

The hard board hit the back, hitting the bones as if they were broken.Cold sweat permeated the clothes and stained the hair on the sideburns.

Tao Zhuo clenched his lips tightly, even though there was a bloody smell in his mouth, he never let go.

"Princess, the general is here."

Suddenly there was a rumor from a house slave, which caused a gleam of hope to instantly ignite in Taozhuo's gray eyes.

Princess Pingnan raised her hand to signal not to continue the fight, then turned her head and told Caizhu, "Go and bring the chair over here and show it to the general."

Familiar footsteps came from behind him, Tao Zhuo turned his head, and the black-colored clothes embroidered with gold silk came into view.

Gu Yan paused beside Tao Zhuo, but walked towards Princess Pingnan without saying anything.

"Greetings to the general." Princess Ping'an felt uncomfortable with her big belly, so she just brushed her body slightly.

Gu Yan ignored it and sat on the pear blossom wood hollow chair beside her.

"Tao Zhuo, the general is here now, and you don't need to worry about me wronging you. Tell me, why did you steal? Is there any difficulty in food and clothing?" The princess smiled and sat down again.

"I don't have any." Tao Zhuo looked at Gu Yan, "I spent the whole day yesterday in the Buddhist hall worshiping the Buddha with the old lady, and I am alone, and the monthly money is enough for me to live on, why should I steal those things?" Objects for women."

She just wanted to explain it to him alone, but Gu Yan kept her phoenix eyes down and ignored it, which made Tao Zhuo feel "flickering" and sank violently.

The princess looked at Caizhu, "Go and ask the old lady to come."

After Caizhu left, the whole yard fell into deathly silence.Only the voice of the princess getting up to pour tea for Gu Yan was slightly harsh.

Tao Zhuo looked at Gu Yan without blinking, watched him stroking the teacup, watched him sip the tea, and watched him put down the teacup without saying a word.From the beginning to the end, the eyes of the two did not meet.

After a while, Caizhu came back, followed by Li Meme.

"Greetings to the general, and regards to the young lady."

"You don't need to be too polite." The princess smiled, "Why don't you see your mother coming?"

"The old lady is not feeling well, and it's inconvenient to move around. I'll come here to pass on a message for the old lady." He lowered his head and glanced at Tao Zhuo, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

"The old lady said that this mansion is managed by the young lady. You don't need to support the council for big and small matters. The young lady is the master."

Princess Pingnan pressed the armrest of the imperial concubine chair and stood up, "Thank you for your mother's trust. Since my mother is not feeling well, please hurry back and take care of her."

After Li Meme agreed, she turned and left, taking away Tao Zhuo's little hope.

Stupid no, how could the old lady testify for you and conflict with the young lady.Tao Zhuo smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that today is more or less ominous.

"Tao Zhuo, what else do you want to say?" the princess asked.

Tao Zhuo said nothing, her apricot eyes kept looking at Gu Yan.

But General, it seems like he is out of the loop...

"Since you have nothing to say, then you admit it. Our family would never dare to keep a house slave like you with dirty hands and feet, so let's send it out." After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Gu Yan, " How does the general feel?"

Gu Yan still lowered her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering slightly like butterfly wings.This silence made Tao Zhuo's nervous heart rise to his throat.

After a while, Gu Yan stood up and said, "It's up to you."

Taozhuo hoped that he had auditory hallucinations, and everything was an illusion.Until Gu Yan walked by, the wind from the hem of the clothes brushed over her cheeks, confirming that everything was true.

"General." Tao Zhuo turned his head and shouted to Gu Yan's back.

This sentence, general, is neither expectation nor grievance, but Tao Zhuo's love for Gu Yan.

But Gu Yan didn't look back after all, perhaps Tao Zhuo's love wasn't worth his stay.

—Tears slipped through the corners of the eyes, as if drilling into the bottom of my heart with dense pain.

Princess Pingnan walked up to Tao Zhuo, looking at the direction Gu Chan left, "He is really heartless. When he wants to keep you, there are thousands of reasons. When he doesn't want to keep you, one There is no reason."

There was a bit of melancholy in the words, but the princess soon showed complacency, "Come here, drive Tao Zhuo out of the general's mansion."

This love is like a dream, after all, it's just wishful thinking.

Tears slid down the corners of raised lips.Laugh, pretend to be passionate.Cry, deep-rooted love.

After leaving the General's Mansion, a blue cloth carriage stopped at the door.Behind him, the house slave pushed Tao Zhuo, "Get in the car, I will take you out of Shengjing."

Tao Zhuo turned his head, looking forward to seeing Gu Yan's figure, but the hope was still in vain.

After getting into the carriage, Tao Zhuo hastily raised the curtain and looked towards the General's Mansion again.As the vermilion lacquered door was tightly closed, Tao Zhuo let tears run down his cheeks in disappointment.

From then on, the world is strangers.

The carriage creaked and stopped after a stick of incense.

The accompanying house slave shouted, "Here we are, get out of the car."

Tao Zhuo raised his sleeves to wipe off the tears on his face, and got out of the carriage.I saw that the surrounding area was still bustling with people, and it was still the bustling and bustling Shengjing, not the city gate.

The pavilions in front of me are prosperous and extravagant, there are women's singing, and there are men's laughter.

Looking up, there are three large characters inscribed on the vermilion lacquer plaque: Fengmingxuan.

Before Tao Zhuo could understand the situation, he was dragged into the Fengming Pavilion by the slaves and the coachman.

The sound of the orchestra and the sound of silk and bamboo are singing, and the graceful figure dances in the sky.Merry, talented, pretty and beautiful, with a song of Fengming, drunk and unfeeling.

In the small room on the second floor, Tao Zhuo was kneeling on the ground by two menacing men, unable to get away.

"It looks pretty good." A beautiful woman in her thirties pinched Tao Zhuo's cheek and looked around carefully.

This person's name is Hong Zhao, and he is the nominal boss of Fengmingxuan.Fengmingxuan is a brothel with a long history in Shengjing.But it was not well-known in the past, until Hong Zhao took over here five years ago, it soon became famous and became the largest and most prosperous fireworks place in the entire Jing country.

The servant laughed, "Sister Hong, this kid was kicked out of our mansion, and he is clean. My princess said it doesn't matter if the money is not, as long as he is filthy from the inside out. .”

Hong Zhao covered her lips with a silk handkerchief and chuckled, "I just like this one that doesn't cost money. Go back and ask your princess, but there is still such a thing."

"Oh, my sister, how can there be pies in the sky all the time. My princess said that I would find a brothel to send him away. I was thinking of my sister, so I sent him here."

The servant tried to flatter her, Hong Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, I think about your kindness. Do you miss Lan Cui? Go, I won't charge you today."

After they left, Hong Zhao sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, and asked, "What's your name? How old are you?"

Tao Zhuo's eyes were already full of panic, he looked at the woman in front of him defensively, he never thought that the princess was so vicious that he sent himself to the brothel.

Seeing that Tao Zhuo didn't speak, Hong Zhao shook his head and chuckled, "I've seen you like this a lot, I want to escape, I want to seek death. But what's the result? I don't want to accept the guests obediently. I'm afraid you won't listen to what I say right now, It’s as if I’m going to send you to the den of tigers and wolves. Well, I’ll starve you for two days first, and you should think about it yourself. I’m not strong, but my patience is limited.”

As they left, Tao Zhuo knelt down on the ground limply and didn't get up for a long time.

Say two days is two days, not only a grain of rice was not delivered, but even the saliva was not given.The door of the room was locked from the outside, and the windows were nailed tightly, trapping Tao Zhuo like a cage.

Curled up at the corner of the bed, Tao Zhuo's face was pale, and the corners of his eyes were so dry that he couldn't shed a single tear.He couldn't figure out why the general believed in the princess so easily, without even saying a word, and allowed himself to be kicked out of the mansion.

The sound of unlocking the lock came to my ears, and as the door was pushed open, Tao Zhuo hurriedly shrank back in fright.It's just that the body is already leaning against the wall, and there is really nowhere to hide.

Seeing this, Hong Zhao smiled, "What are you hiding from? I don't eat people."

This Hong Zhao is really charming when she smiles, Tao Zhuo always feels that she is not as vicious as the princess, so she dares to ask softly, "Then will you let me go?"

Hong Zhao was taken aback by the question, "I've been in Fengmingxuan for many years, and this is the first time someone asks me that. Then tell me, will I let you go?"

Tao Zhuo stopped talking, watching her every move vigilantly.

"are you hungry?"

Tao Zhuo ignored it, it was better to starve to death than to be abused by others.

"Actually, I really don't want to accept you male prostitutes. When I get stubborn, I really don't like it. It's harder to play with than those little girls."

While talking, Hong Zhao sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and pinched Tao Zhuo's face.

"This handsome young man is really rare."

After a pause, he continued, "But then again, no matter how fierce the horse is, it is also ridden by someone. Do you know why I starved you for two days? Some people will naturally obey when they are hungry. People are not afraid of being hungry, so they can only fight. There are also those who can’t fight well, so I will find a few people to play with him on the bed for three or two days. Not to mention, this trick is easy to use, people are cheap, let him accompany one If you don’t accompany me, you have to be tortured enough by several people before you will give up.”

Tao Zhuo was terrified by her words, and the chills that appeared made his fingertips tremble uncontrollably.

"Do you know why I didn't use this trick from the beginning?" Hong Zhao explained to him with a smile, "Because that would be worthless, but if I'm not forced and have no choice, I won't make a loss-making business easily. You should think about it carefully, In a while, I'll send someone to deliver food, do you think you should eat first? Or should we follow the rules step by step?"

This woman is more powerful than the princess, she speaks both soft and hard words.It also explains that there is only one result, but the process is up to you to choose.
