Chen Qing makes fans envy

. "

Because Wei Wuxian and Lan Ming had requested a room on the second floor, the clerk unlocked it just now, and cleaned it in a hurry. He just finished his work, filled with displeasure, and pretended not to hear.The old man said again: "I want a pot of tea."

The man said, "No tea."

The old man said angrily, "Why not?"

The guy sneered: "No, no. Every time I sit and drink a pot of tea for a whole day, the peanuts here are free and delicious, right!"

The old man in the cloth shirt came here precisely because he was greedy for this cheap, his face turned red and then pale, angry and embarrassed.Wei Wuxian hurriedly said, "There are here, there are here, old man, come here, and we will treat you to tea."

The guy glanced at them and dared not say anything more.The cloth-clothed old man got a step and immediately went down, sat on the table here, sighed and thanked them.Wei Wuxian is skilled in striking up conversations, and after a few exchanges, the conversation quickly became warm and the questions got to the point.The old man in the cloth shirt also picked up his chopsticks, and he didn't dislike the smell of burnt corpses in the dish at all. He ate and said, "Me? I have lived on this street for more than 30 years. Who is more familiar with things here than me? "

Wei Wuxian and Lan Ming glanced at each other, and their spirits came alive.He immediately said: "More than 30 years? That is really long enough. This inn has not been more than 30 years. I heard that there was a jewelry store and a clothing store here, so you have seen them all."

The old man in cloth shirt said: "I've seen it in the most beautiful way." He lowered his voice and said, "Are you going to live here? Let me tell you, don't. You saw a lock on the second floor before." ?"

Wei Wuxian also lowered his voice: "I saw it. So what's going on?"

The old man said: "More than ten years ago, there was a fire in this place, and many people were killed. I'm afraid they are still here."

It is completely consistent with their speculation.

Lan Ming said: "Where is the fire?"

The old man said: "Si Shi Xuan."

At first hearing the name, I thought it was an elegant place where poems were recited, and clouds and moons were chanted, but unexpectedly it was a place of Goulan.Wei Wuxian said intentionally, "Si Shi Xuan? Calligraphy and Painting Pavilion?"

The old man said: "No! It's a prostitute. It wasn't called that at first, but after two girls became famous, they put together their names and changed it to a new name. One is Sisi and the other is Meng Shi, together it is 'Thinking Poetry'."

Hearing this, the two of Lan Wei stared at each other.

Wei Wuxian said, "Meng Shi? That name seems familiar."

The old man in the cloth shirt said: "Of course. Meng Shi was also popular in Yunmeng for a few years back then. She played the piano, wrote calligraphy and painting, and wrote some poems. Many people came to her fame. Some called her 'Fireworks' talented girl'."

really!

Jin Guangyao was from Yunmeng. He went north to join Jin Guangshan after his mother died. Before that, he followed his mother's surname, Meng.Although after Jin Guangyao deliberately erased the traces, most people did not know the full name of the talented firework girl, but when they heard that the surname was Meng, they became suspicious.I didn't expect it to be her!

After the old man in the cloth shirt finished speaking, he looked at Wei Wuxian, shook his head again and said, "No, it doesn't look like that either. Meng Shihong happened more than [-] years ago, and she wasn't as popular as Yunmeng, and there aren't many people now. I remember her. You are not old, so you probably don't know her."

Wei WuXian said nonsense, "I know. I have an uncle who used to admire Miss Meng Shi. He was so infatuated that he told us about her every day. Later, when she got married, that uncle got very drunk, That's a sad one."

The cloth-clothed old man really took the bait, and said, "Who says she's married?"

Wei WuXian said, "No? Then why did I hear my uncle say that she even gave birth to a son?"

The old man in the cloth shirt said: "She wants to marry. She was in her 20s when she met that man. She is not too young. She will definitely not be popular in a few years, so she is desperate to be scolded." To have a son is not just to get away. But that also requires a man to be willing to ask for it."

Wei WuXian said, "Why, that man doesn't even want a son?"

The cloth-shirted old man ate all the dishes, and said: "I heard that man is a big man in a family of cultivators, and there must be many sons in the family. It is not rare to have too much of anything, why would you pay attention to this one outside? Shipan came and went and hoped that no one would come to pick him up, so he had to raise him himself."

She had exactly the same thoughts and fate as Mo Xuanyu's mother, Mo Er Niangzi.How many women in the world pin their hopes on their sons, expecting mothers to be more expensive than their sons.It is better to pay more attention to yourself than to spend all those thoughts.However, Wei Wuxian couldn't understand that even if Jin Guangshan was unwilling to bring Meng Shi back to Jinlintai, it would be very easy for him to redeem the body of a firework girl and give her a sum of money to raise a child.Why wouldn't you even do this little effort?

Lan Ming said: "Well, that's true. Is this kid smart?"

The old man in cloth shirt said: "Let's put it this way. I have lived for more than [-] years, and I have never seen a child who is smarter than Xiao Meng. Meng Shi also intends to teach him well, and raises his son as a son of a rich family. He reads and writes, etiquette, sends him to school, and buys some sword manuals and secret books for him to read. Probably still not giving up."

In this way, the place where they are now is the place where Jin Guangyao grew up.

The cloth-shirted old man continued: "When Xiao Meng was eleven or twelve years old, Meng Shi wanted to imitate some allusion, give him another place to live, and study hard. But she was still in Si Shi Xuan, so she just sent Xiao Meng I went to live in the library. But then Xiaomeng came back by himself, and refused to go back no matter what.”

Wei Wuxian said, "Mother Meng moved three times."

This is the allusion that Meng Shi wants to emulate.But the son of a prostitute, in that scholarly land, is naturally out of place and humiliated by others.It's useless to move anywhere.

Meng Shi guessed that his son must have been bullied, but after repeated questioning, his son refused to say what kind of bullying he had suffered, so he could only sigh and let him continue to live in Si Shixuan, and usually do some chores of cleaning and running errands on the first floor , while continuing to study.

However, not only people outside look down on them, but even people inside the brothel look down on them.Meng Shi was already in her 20s when she insisted on having a child. She was already old for women in Fengyuechang. After giving birth, her complexion and body were damaged. Some so-called "talented women" are barely paid for their fame, and some people are willing to reward them out of curiosity.

In the land of fireworks, women like Meng Shi are the most troublesome.She has read some books, can read and write, and has talent, but she is only a small talent. It is just a gimmick to attract prostitutes, and it is not enough to support her to find another way to make a living.People with some scrolls always have such an inexplicable lofty spirit, they are always unwilling to give up that little thought, unwilling to fall into it, but a paper deed is firmly held in the hands of others, it is inevitable that they will be extremely depressed and full of torment.

It was this high spirit that made the other women in the brothel very disgusted with her, and they had no good words behind her face.In the same way, guests who come to this kind of place occasionally see a delicate teenage girl who is reserved and dignified. Happy.He has long lost the prosperity and social status of the past, but he still can't recognize his own situation, and this is how he ended up and was judged.

One day, Meng Shi didn't know what kind of request he rejected from a client, which made him fly into a rage.Meng Yao was delivering fruit plates in the lobby on the first floor, when she suddenly heard the sound of cups, plates and saucers breaking on the second floor, a Yaoqin rolled and flew out, and landed in the middle of the hall, with a loud noise, it fell to pieces, smashing several tables. Those who were drinking and having fun were frightened and cursed.

Meng Yao recognized that it was her mother's Qin, and when she looked up, she saw a big man coming out of a room by her mother's hair, and hurried upstairs.Meng Shi covered her scalp, and desperately pulled her clothes onto her shoulders. Seeing her son running over, she hurriedly said, "I told you not to go upstairs, go down, don't go down!"

Meng Yao went to break the client's hand, but was kicked in the lower abdomen, and Gu Lulu rolled down the stairs, causing a lot of exclamations.Meng Shi yelled "Ah!", and was immediately grabbed by the hair by the guest, and dragged downstairs, stripped of her clothes, and thrown into the street.

Before leaving, the guest spat on her body and scolded: "What an ugly person, the old whore still treats herself as a new commodity!"

Meng Shi lay down in the middle of the street in panic, not daring to get up, as long as she moved, she would be stared at naked.A girl in the entertainment field is usually not afraid of people watching, but she just can't get over this hurdle.Pedestrians on the street were amazed and excited at the same time, wanting to leave or not, wanting to stay or not, poking a little bit, their eyes wide open.The other girls in Si Shi Xuan giggled and laughed, gloating about what happened to the embarrassed old woman to the guests around them.

Only Sisi, who became famous at the same time as Meng Shi, couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and went out, took off her coat and put it on Meng Shi, and helped her staggered into the lobby.I bumped into the owner of the prostitute and came out to complain: "I told you to change it a long time ago. Who are you showing it to? You have to suffer, and you have a better memory!"

Meng Shi was too ashamed to raise her head, she lowered her eyes to look for her son.Meng Yao was kicked by that kick for a long time and couldn't recover, she was lying on the ground and couldn't get up.Sisi pulled one with each hand, pulled the mother and son up and left.

The cloth-shirted old man talked about other things casually, and said: "It's all old things. Although the name is Si Shixuan, Sisi was resold when she got old, Meng Shi died, and her son packed up and left. I don’t know who didn’t take good care of the charcoal fire in the middle of the night, and the whole building was burned. It’s not good to say what this place did in the past, but it’s not allowed to be told in the next few stores, and now no one knows.”

Wei Wuxian thought to himself, where are those shops?
