The days after the year passed quickly, and the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and the sky gradually became hotter. Xu Mosheng's mood also became anxious as the temperature rose.After the Dragon Boat Festival, it will be "Oiran Night", how can she not be in a hurry.After returning from a night of drinking, she never went out of the house again. She originally thought that her husband would be able to rest easy if she broke up with him, but things happened one after another, and she couldn't stop moving forward no matter what.

After reading the book at night, Xu Mosheng went back to her room, locked the door, and took out a red cloth package from the cabinet. She sat on the bed and opened it carefully. Inside were some scraps of silver and some copper coins.

She counted it seriously, shook her head, sighed lightly, and counted it again seriously, "70 taels..." She didn't know how many times she counted these taels when no one was around, but she could These are the only things that can be obtained.

The 70 taels are all that Xu Mosheng has saved in the past five years. She has started to save pocket money since she thought of redeeming Yonger's body. Xu Yuanzhi is a clean and honest official, and his salary is only enough to maintain the family. The monthly distribution is given to her. The expenses are not much, and the rewards during the holidays plus the monthly money given by the family when I was studying abroad, the savings are only more than 70 taels.

She lives frugally on weekdays, hoping that the money will come in handy on that day. There are no girls who don't like beauty, buying clothes, or dressing up. It's just that she doesn't want to part with it. To Xu Mosheng, the money is a life-saving money.

She put the money in the package and put it away, "I have to go tomorrow." She thought in her heart that with her own efforts, it would be just a drop in the bucket in the end.

"Mother..." Xu Mosheng took advantage of the night to sneak out of the Xu Mansion and came to Chunze Tower.

"Oh, I almost forgot that I still have a girl. You haven't been here for almost a year." Seeing her coming, Sanniang thought in her heart but said unforgivingly.

"Nine months and eight days." Mo Sheng lowered his head and replied, after parting with Yong'er, she spent a few days in earnest, and these days passed like years, and the time passed by.

Sanniang sneered, "Hmph, you can figure it out clearly in your heart. Tell me, why did you come here?" She almost knew why the child came here. Preparations have already begun.

"Mom, can you lend me some money?" Mo Sheng said in a dilemma, "I have some, but it's not enough to redeem her..."

Sanniang sneered again when she heard the words, "How much do you have?" She knew the financial resources of the Xu family well.

"Seventy...Two..." Xu Mosheng also felt that this number was really difficult to say.

"70 taels," Sanniang stood up and said with a smile, "You treat yourself as a prostitute! Your money is enough to cover her for seven nights."

"Mother! Don't say that!" Mo Sheng felt awkward hearing this, especially since Sanniang used herself as a metaphor of a "prostitute", and she felt that Yong'er was tarnished by saying this.

"You group of scholars, no wonder people say that scholars are poor and have no ability to save face." Sanniang yelled at her.

"Mother, do you want to borrow it or not?" Mo Sheng didn't want to hear Sanniang's sarcasm, she lowered her head and grabbed her clothes, looking at the jade pendant she was wearing.

Sanniang followed her gaze and looked over, then stepped forward and took off the jade pendant on Mo Sheng's body. "Don't even think about it! Let me tell you, no matter how poor you are, you can't be this jade!" Sanniang scolded while holding the jade.

Xu Mosheng didn't speak. She thought about pawning off the jade pendant left by her father, but she still couldn't make up her mind unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Don't think about it, this jade is not worth a lot of money, it's just a thought." Sanniang persuaded, "Go and call Yong'er and discuss it together." She put the jade away and ordered.

Mo Sheng went downstairs and silently waited in the corner for Yong'er who was singing on the stage. When she finished singing, the guests greeted her and she left. Mo Sheng stepped forward and stopped her from speaking.

"Why are you here today?" Yong'er was a little surprised when she saw her, and it had been a long, long time since she had seen the person she was thinking about day and night.

"Go to my mother's place." Mo Sheng didn't answer, he dragged her upstairs, Yong'er followed her, feeling that this man was very sad.

"It's all here, so I'll just say it," Sanniang closed the door, "She wants to redeem you, but she has no money."

Yong'er looked at Mo Sheng, it turned out that she came here for this reason, no wonder she looked sad.

Sanniang opened the cabinet door with the key, took out a wooden box, put it on the table and opened it slowly, "This is 100 taels, that's all you and Aunt Rong put together. We don't accept guests anymore at our age. The rewards I received are not many, so I can only take out these."

Xu Mosheng looked at the silver taels on the table and said, "Mom, you just laughed at my 70 taels..."

"Hey!" Sanniang patted the table, "This is the dowry I saved for you! If you don't like it, I'll take it back!"

Yong'er heard the words and stepped forward to make a rescue, "You are all for Yong'er's good, this love is for Yong'er, you wait for me to get off." After speaking, Yong'er went back to the room and brought back a box.

"These are mine. There are some silver taels and jewelry inside. If you pawn them, you should be able to make up 100 taels." She said to Mo Sheng.

Looking at the money on the table, Mo Sheng was filled with emotion. The money was exchanged for how many times they laughed and sang with them. "Should it be enough?" She said quietly, 300 taels is no longer a decimal in her opinion.

"Enough? It's far away. Which girl's first night is not worth a thousand dollars in Huakui's night?" Sanniang said sarcastically again, "Look at her, she looks so fresh and has a good voice. You think those money masters are blind." , are you still deaf?"

Xu Mosheng sat there frowning, not daring to look at Yong'er, nor at Sanniang.

Yong'er put her hands on Mo Sheng's shoulders, "Don't be discouraged, there might be a turning point, maybe no one will see me that day?" She didn't want the atmosphere to be so heavy, so she comforted her.

"Hey," Sanniang sighed, "You two fateful couples, even if you escaped the night of the oiran, how will you have the money to redeem your body later, it will be a catastrophe anyway, sometimes you should accept your fate..."

"I don't recognize it!" Mo Sheng looked at Sanniang, "I will take you out of this garden sooner or later!" She looked at Yong'er again, her eyes burning.

Yong'er nodded at him, "I believe in you."

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, you can go back with the money, pawn everything you can, and exchange it for bank notes. When you come with the money on that day, you can adapt accordingly." San Niang After dismissing the two of them, she was very annoyed.

"Don't delay your studies because of this, keep the money and be careful on the way." Yong'er reluctantly sent her to the door.

"En!" Mo Sheng didn't know what to say, they knew what they were going to face, she shook Yong'er's hand, hoping to give her some strength, then turned around and got on the horse and disappeared into the night.

In the academy, Shen Junyi was also fidgeting recently, so he went to find Shen Junlan.

"Sister, Jun Yi asks you something." He explained the reason, "So can you lend me some money to redeem Yong'er?"

"I don't have any money", Shen Junlan listened to him but didn't look at him, she lowered her head and stroked the strings.

"Sister..." Shen Junyi was like a child acting like a baby, he felt that Shen Junlan could show some, after all, her parents loved her very much.

"My monthly income is only the wages given by the academy, so I can't save her." Shen Junlan replied.

"Then you write a letter to your parents, and they will definitely give you what you want." Although the Shen family is rich, they have always followed the ancestral motto of "diligence and thrift in managing the family". Parents will not take special care of them for special reasons.

"I want it?" Shen Junlan plucked a string and made a piercing sound, "Why should I speak?" She asked back.

"Then sister can't just ignore her death, can she?" Jun Yi's tone was full of anxiety.

The elder sister still didn't look at him, and said to herself, "Whether I can redeem her body or not is none of my business, Shen Junlan? That's your business."

"Then what if she is your younger sibling in the future? It's none of your business, right?" Shen Junyi didn't choose what to say, "Sister, you can do me a favor, and ask Daddy to be softer."

Shen Junlan sneered when she heard the words, "Siblings? How can you snatch her away from her?" She got up and poured a glass of water, "I have been away from the Shen family for so many years, what should be broken has long been broken, and I finally got lonely All in one, you asked me to plead for money, so what have I been away for all these years?"

"Didn't you say that you don't remember your parents for a long time?" Shen Junyi replied in a low voice, afraid of making her angry.

It turned out that my younger brother still didn't understand me. "Forgiving them doesn't mean that I will be attached to the Shen family in the future, and I don't want to have anything to do with Neichuan." scars.

Hearing Shen Junlan's unfeeling words, Shen Junyi felt somewhat uncomfortable. He didn't want to believe that his sister was a ruthless and helpless person, "It's fine if my sister doesn't help. I will find a way by myself. Except for Xu Mosheng's matter, you will not let go of anyone's affairs. In my eyes." He said angrily.

Hearing this, Shen Junlan splashed the water in the teacup on Jun Yi's face, making him tremble in fright.

"Don't mention her in front of me in the future!" She stared fiercely at the younger brother in front of her, "I'm just so ruthless, nobody's business has anything to do with me, if you don't like it, don't come to me."

Shen Junyi wiped the water off his face. Seeing that his sister was really angry, like a wronged child, he lowered his head and pursed his lips. Not knowing what else to say, he turned and left angrily.

Let's all go, the whole world is clean, and Shen Junlan feels wronged in every way, but who can understand her, who cares about her, who is willing to save her?
