General's humble stand-in

-The song "Fengming" is a new song that no one else has heard.Sometimes the sound of the piano is urgent like a mourning, and sometimes it is as slow as pouring out.The timbre is clear and translucent, mellow and rippling in Feng Ming Xuan.

Contrary to people's expectations, this time the new prostitutes did not slowly descend from upstairs as in the past, but the stage where the maiko danced was covered with a soft white gauze.

Through the veil, the red figure inside is looming.I saw him sitting on the white velvet blanket, with a pair of jade feet becoming more white and tender, and a string of delicate silver bells tied around his ankles, which was a bit charming.The slender fingers brushed the Guqin in his arms, and every rhythm of the fingertips seemed to stir people's heartstrings.

The flow of people gathered and surrounded the small platform.

Tao Zhuo was still a little flustered, playing a few piano sounds wrong.Fortunately, no one has heard of the new song, and there is not much violation.

The white veil was slowly opened only after the appetite had been whetted.

The most is the timid and shy lowering of the head, which arouses the desire to bully people.The peach blossom on the forehead is like a demon, the eyes are as clear as water, the demon is gorgeous, the water is pure, Tao Zhuo fuses them, and his gestures and gestures seduce people's souls.

Occasionally raised his head, smiled, and attracted countless winds.

"Boss Hong, hurry up and make an offer." Some people couldn't bear it long ago and wished they could kiss Fangze right away.

The crowd was buzzing, all clamoring for Hong Zhao to bid.

Hong Zhao smiled, "As usual, there is no low price, you can pay as you like."

"500 taels." Immediately, someone offered a high price.

I think the most popular girl last year was only sold for 800 taels, while the highest price for male prostitutes was only 500 taels.Hongzhao was delighted in his heart, but his face remained calm.

Afterwards, it was 700 taels, and 800 taels were lifted up.

Tao Zhuo got up, and slightly tightened his hands holding the guqin.Being bid by them like a toy, Tao Zhuo didn't feel happy at all because of the so-called worth, but instead felt an uncontrollable sadness in his heart, which made him frowned slightly.

However, there is a little worry between the brows, which is even more delicate.

Soon, the price was raised to 2000 taels, which is really not a small number, and many people are discouraged.

At this time, a corner of Feng Ming Xuan.Xu Tianlei, son of the Shangshu Family of the Ministry of War, looked at Tao Zhuo carefully, and always felt a little familiar.After a long while, he suddenly patted his forehead and muttered, "Remember, isn't this Xiao Taozhuo who is next to General Gu?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and pushed the drunken Cheng Ziyuan, "Cousin, cousin, you are sober."

After another round of bidding, it reached 3000 taels.For a time, no one passed by.

Tao Zhuo took a sneak peek, but it was actually a good-looking skin.Tao Zhuo didn't care much about beauty and ugliness, but he was disgusted with the greed and lust in the young man's eyes.

"Mr. Liu paid 3000 taels, but is there anyone else who is higher than him?"

Everyone whispered to each other, although they were all unwilling, but they couldn't hold back in terms of money.

Hong Zhao stuck to Tao Zhuo's side and said softly, "This Mr. Liu is rich and has a good family background. He is the eldest grandson of Prime Minister Liu. Are you satisfied?"

Just remember what Young Master Ling said, let Hong Zhao choose a good one for you.But so what?After all, they are prostitutes and clients.

Taozhuo lowered her slender eyelashes, "You can do whatever you want."

There was a bit of self-abandonment against fate in his tone.

"Congratulations Mr. Liu..."

Before Hong Zhao finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted.A voice came from the corner, "I offer 5000 taels."

Everyone was in an uproar, and all their eyes were turned to that corner.

Cheng Ziyuan stood up unsteadily, stretched out his palm to Hong Zhao, and repeated, "I pay 5000 taels."

Xu Tianlei on the side couldn't close his mouth in shock, and explained repeatedly, "He's drunk, he's drunk, and he's talking nonsense. We don't fight with Mr. Liu, the jackpot is still Mr. Liu's."

5000 taels..., this is going bankrupt.

"I'm not drunk." Cheng Ziyuan pushed Xu Tianlei away, pointed at Tao Zhuo and said, "I'll pay you 5000 taels. I'll see who of you dares to touch him today."

If it was in the past, Tao Zhuo would be grateful.But now, Tao Zhuo kept sneering from the bottom of his heart, General Cheng's prestige, but why did my master end up like that.

Maybe 5000 taels was too high, maybe because of Cheng Ziyuan's threat, no one really paid for it all of a sudden.

"Cousin." Xu Tianlei was still struggling with Cheng Ziyuan's impulsiveness, and whispered in his ear, "I didn't bring that much when I went out today, and I can't bring that much either. You and I have a clean family background. Where can I get the 5000 taels?"

Cheng Ziyuan grabbed Xu Tianlei's collar drunkenly, "I don't care, the money belongs to you, the people belong to me, you can figure out a way for yourself."

Xu Tianlei wasn't afraid of him, the main reason was that he couldn't beat him, and was staggered by this cousin since he was a child.

Right now, his guts are turning green with regret, why would he wake him up, and make him recognize that the new prostitute on stage is that Tao Zhuo from the General's Mansion.

"Cousin, even if you sell me, I still can't make up 5000 taels." Xu Tianlei wanted to cry but had no tears.

Cheng Ziyuan squinted his eyes drunk, and his eyes fell on the blood jade on Xu Tianlei's waist.

Xu Tianlei hurriedly covered it with one hand, with a mournful face, "Brother, I am inherited from my ancestors."

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tao Zhuo made a sensation in Shengjing with a price of 5000 taels.This price is also unprecedented, the so-called rising tide rises all boats, Tao Zhuo became a famous prostitute that everyone admired overnight.

The room is clean and elegant, blocking the noise from downstairs.Incense flakes are burning in the incense burner, and the mist of the copper hole overflows, and the faint fragrance is entangled with the air and drifts slowly.

Tao Zhuo and Cheng Ziyuan sat face to face.

Pulling up his sleeves with one hand and carrying the sapphire teapot with the other, Tao Zhuo stood up and poured the tea into the cup gracefully.

"I'm not thirsty." Cheng Ziyuan thought that Tao Zhuo poured water for him to hangover.

Unexpectedly, with a twist of his wrist, Tao Zhuo poured all the warm tea on Cheng Ziyuan's face.

Drops of water dripped down the cheeks, and a large area of ​​the collar was wet.Cheng Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and then his facial muscles twitched. He wanted to make a wry smile but he couldn't raise the corners of his mouth. Instead, his brows were frowning, as if he was about to cry.

Tao Zhuo was still puzzled, with contempt in his eyes, he said sarcastically, "Why, the wife at home can't satisfy you? You want to visit this kind of place. General Cheng is rich, how do you want me to serve you?"

How arrogant he was in the barracks, now he is humble.Cheng Ziyuan buried his head, his shoulders seemed to tremble slightly.

After a while, Cheng Ziyuan wiped his cheeks with his hands, and when he looked up, the water stains on his face had dried up, but his eyes were faintly red.

"I will redeem you and take you away." Cheng Ziyuan's voice was soft but extremely firm.

Tao Zhuo disdainfully said, "You want to make up for my guilt towards my master from me? Even if I become a prostitute trampled by thousands of people, I won't give you a chance to redeem your sins.

As far as Tao Zhuo is concerned, Shen Feng is a relative.Shen Feng's love for Tao Zhuo is not as estranged as Gu Yan's, he is unreservedly good for Tao Zhuo.

Every time I think of the scene of Shen Feng falling from the building, I feel pain in my heart.

Before I knew it, tears blurred my vision.

Tao Zhuo choked with sobs, "Did you know that day, you got married but he was insulted all the time, you accepted all kinds of blessings but he jumped down from Wangjiang tower. How did you break all his arrogance? Obviously it was Why did he get hurt in the end about the two of you? It's ridiculous that you are still General Cheng, but he is no longer Mr. Shen."

How can I not know, every time I close my eyes, I seem to see that white figure falling from Wangjiang Tower.Although he knew that he was rescued, Cheng Ziyuan became more and more afraid, fearing that his brother Shen would no longer be his brother Shen after all.

Not daring to fall asleep at night, relying on spirits to anesthetize every nerve.His voice and smile seemed to be engraved in his bones and blood, and even the slightest thought would cause Miza's pain to make him unable to breathe, and his longing would become a coffin.

This relationship is just like what Shen Feng once cared about, there is a whole family behind us.At that time, Cheng Ziyuan was just too arrogant, thinking that if he loved each other, he would be fearless.Until it was reported in the palace that Princess An Ning wanted to die for Shen Feng, the elders of the whole family wished Cheng Ziyuan and Shen Feng to break off their ties.Cheng Ziyuan flinched. Just contradicting the eldest princess would implicate his father in jail. If something really happened, would he have to pay for the lives of the entire family?

He chose a family of one hundred and ten, and abandoned Shen Feng alone.

Cheng Ziyuan didn't want to explain anything to Tao Zhuo, nor did he want to defend himself, so what if there were more reasons?Still failed Brother Shen.

Embarrassed not wanting to cry, Cheng Ziyuan buried his cheeks in his palms, but couldn't stop the tears gushing from his fingers.

"Let's go." Tao Zhuo said, his eyes were indifferent.

Perhaps Cheng Ziyuan had a hard time, but Tao Zhuo couldn't forgive him.

"No, I have to take you along." Cheng Ziyuan wiped away the tears on his face, "You are his only apprentice, I can't leave you alone."

— Momentary hesitation, but Taozhuo quickly extinguished that thought.He can't even protect his sweetheart, how can he protect me?And relying on no one is more secure than relying on yourself.

After a moment of silence, Tao Zhuo said, "No need, I won't bother you about my affairs. If you still have him in your heart, then send someone to look for him. Now his life or death is uncertain, I miss him very much."

"I've looked for it." Cheng Ziyuan said quickly, "I've been looking for him, but Mangmang Ruhai didn't have any clues, and I haven't heard anything about him until now."

Some people, some things, once missed, are eternal.

Tao Zhuo leaned against the window and looked at Cheng Ziyuan's far away back. Even the fire trees and silver flowers in Shengjing could not conceal his loneliness and desolation.

The full moon is in the sky, and the full moon is incomplete.

In his sleep, he always felt the sun was dazzling, Tao Zhuo frowned and shrank back and forth under the quilt.

"If you don't get up again, I will eat up your breakfast."

A familiar voice came into his ears, and Tao Zhuo suddenly tore off the quilt covering his head.

Young master Ling was pinching the blue and white porcelain spoon with his pointed fingers, scooping up the white fungus and lotus seed soup, eating with relish.

The dignified young master always grabs food with me, dirty.

Tao Zhuo cursed secretly in his heart, he didn't bother to wash up, and ran to the birch table with bare feet.

Young Master Ling tilted his head to look at his curled feet, and said, "Cool."

Tao Zhuo thought for a while, then raised his feet and stretched them under the table, just in time to step on the pair of black-colored cloud boots with gold silk borders on Young Master Ling's feet.The satin is soft and comfortable, Tao Zhuo doesn't mean to move his feet away.

Seeing Young Master Ling frowning, Tao Zhuo rubbed the tip of his small nose, and said in a delicate tone, "Well, it's not cold anymore."

"You are not afraid of me anymore." Although Young Master Ling had a straight face, Tao Zhuo saw that there was no anger in his eyes.

Slightly spitting out the tip of her bright red tongue, Tao Zhuo smiled and pulled the food that was placed in front of Young Master Ling towards her.
