Cheng Enhou's Love History

Of course, Qinya Book Apartment is not a place to borrow books, let alone a library, but the highest-level brothel in this era.

The name is so elegant that it cannot conceal the essence of its fireworks.Since it is a business, there is only one word for money in the picture.

The small courtyard of the book apartment is very quiet, surrounded by flowers and trees, and a small two-story building.There are no red-sleeved tricks, the girls are elegantly dressed, sitting in their own embroidery room, facing the mirror with appliqué yellow, just waiting for the guests to roll their names, so that they can accompany them at the evening banquet.

The owner of the book apartment is Feng Siniang, in her early thirties, dressed in exquisite and charming manners, with a graceful demeanor without any sense of vulgarity.

Looking at the same situation again, it is a standard servant appearance. Today, he finally reported to the manager and slipped out, and the monthly money has not been paid yet. He didn't even have the money to buy a long gown, so he had to wear the clothes of Peifu's servants in front of him. Come on, it's rare that Feng Siniang is willing to see him in such a poor place.

It can be seen that among the wind and dust, there must be a man of temperament.

Sure enough, Feng Siniang laughed after hearing what he said, "Is Tong Xiaoye planning to redeem my sister, or is he just here to meet her?"

At the same time, he was also a little vague, redeeming, he has no money; but not redeeming, or indifferent, psychologically I feel a little sorry.

No matter what the original owner died of, since he has taken over the other person's body and intends to live it up again, he cannot completely wipe out the other person's past.

These days, relying on his ability to inquire through social relations, he already knew the reason why the original owner's family was convicted.

General Fengtian and Yonglu delayed their fighter planes during the battle with the Russians, causing heavy losses to the four allied Mongolian forces. The imperial court ordered them to be dismissed and beheaded in order to appease the Mongolians and to establish their prestige, and their family members were used as official slaves.

Xie Yanwen's father was originally the censor of Lantai. Because he sympathized with Tong Yonglu, he tried to force him to resign. The emperor was furious and exiled his official to Hainan, and his family property was confiscated. .

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the imperial court’s handling is not a big mistake. Dayan has rich financial resources. In order to stabilize the northern border, it has always relied on money to win over the Mongols and make them become Dayan mercenaries to stop the ambitious Tsarist Russia from the farther north.This is a political line, and one wrong step will affect the overall situation. If the inland is threatened by the Mongolian tribes like the previous dynasties, there will be no spare power to go abroad and open up the sea.

Therefore, the same family does not feel sorry for the collapse of the same family, but the overall situation is the overall situation. This kind of thing is different for individuals, and the fate is changed accordingly. It is related to a lifetime, and it may even be a lifetime.

He had heard from Xie Yanwen that this wandering sister was three years younger than him. When the house was ransacked because of her outstanding looks, she was quickly bought away. At that time, her real sister was in great pain, and she was tossing and turning from bed to bed, so she didn't even have time to take a look at her.

After thinking about it for a while, Tong replied cautiously, "Let's talk about how to redeem the body first, and I will trouble my mother for advice."

"Well, I might as well tell you the truth." Feng Siniang's tone was neither hasty nor slow, like a steady stream of water. "In our business, we rely on our eyesight. Qingyuan bought it back when he was six or seven years old, and adjusted it a little bit. If you are less than 13 years old, you can't do it. After six or seven years, you can spend enough money to cultivate a nobleman, even a golden man. Needless to say, you know what Tongmin's conditions are. If you If I want to redeem, I will lose a talent, and if I want to find someone, I may not be able to find such a good one."

"According to the rules before the redemption, the price of a young lady who has never been officially out of the game is 500 taels. She has only been here for a few months. Even if it is cheaper for you, she must pay 200 taels. Otherwise, the rules will be messed up from me. From now on, the whole People in the industry will have trouble with me."

It's a huge sum, and he licked his lower lip at the same time, "Can you make a compromise, I can't afford 200 taels for now, but I don't want her to take advantage of my mother for nothing. It's not necessary to eat and drink, let her Going to serve the other sisters, it’s all free every month, just let her have three meals, mom, how about this?”

Feng Siniang smiled, "You have a good idea, but to be honest, your sister has been spoiled since she was a child, can she serve tea or pass water? I have to teach you everything from the beginning, and I'm afraid that her eyesight will be priced if she gets out of the game." It's not enough to offend the guests. If this goes on, I'm just waiting to lose money, just to support a young lady?"

It's really hard to refute, what kind of temperament Tong Min is, Tong Ze doesn't understand at all, if she is really a savage lady, who refuses to learn what kind of work, then what should I do?

He turned his head and wanted to say something, but suddenly, he heard a clear voice behind him, brother.

Looking back, there was a little girl standing on the door, with a charming figure and picturesque eyebrows, and there was a kind of glamorous charm in her beauty.

She is indeed an extremely beautiful beauty, and she is a bit ruthless but also touching. For some reason, Tong Ze thought of this sentence in a daze.

At this moment, Tong Min had already come over, and first blessed Feng Siniang, then turned to look at Tong Ze, "Brother, have you found a place to live?"

Looking at the uniform on his body, he nodded at the same time, "Don't worry, I will find a way to arrange a proper place for you."

Tong Min smiled softly, "No, I'm fine here, brother, don't worry, just take care of yourself."

If she didn't say this, she might still weigh her own weight before making plans, but an 11-year-old girl looked firm and decisive. Dissipated in an instant, he watched, feeling sad for a while.

He said to Feng Siniang, "200 taels. I will redeem her within three years. Let's make a letter today. As for these three years, my mother will take care of her food and lodging, and I will give her food and lodging every month." Fei, two taels of silver should be enough."

He said two liang out of his heart, in fact, his monthly salary is only one liang at the moment. If he becomes a person dedicated to serving the young master, it is said that he will be promoted to [-] liang, and his salary will be included in it, which is equivalent to taking his unknown future. Bet on Tongmin's fate.

Feng Siniang didn't speak, her eyes wandered around the furnishings, and at the same time followed her gaze, all eyes were full of exquisite and elegant furniture.

The gorgeousness and extravagance of the whole room are all piled up with money. She said, "I have rules for food and lodging here, and I will not lower the standard for her alone. You are sincere, and I can't make things difficult for others. Five taels a month No less, I also have my own difficulties in doing business.”

Feeling that the people behind him were suffocating their necks, Tong Tong hurriedly said hello, "Once a word is said, it is hard to follow, let's make a written proof."

Whether the deal is successful or not, she has nothing to lose anyway, so Feng Siniang didn't use any tricks, but looked at the young man in front of her with some appreciation, and nodded slowly.

After signing and pressing her fingerprints, Tong Min sent Tong out to go out. She stood half leaning against the door, her eyes full of reluctance, but her face was still smiling, "Brother, I am causing you trouble. You can figure it out. If it is difficult, you can do it." Tell your mother earlier that she is not a bad person... Now that you are working under someone else's hands, you must be careful and don't take risks for me. Otherwise, even if you have money, people like us will still die without a place to die. Don't forget, we are now He is no longer a good citizen."

This is a good reminder that they are sinners, and there is still a long way to go to get out of slavery. The same thought, if you find time, you should study the Dayan law carefully and see if there is any way to get rid of slavery.

"Go back, take good care of yourself, and I will come to see you when I can come out."

"Take care too, brother... Mom and Dad will bless you in heaven."

When mentioning his parents, he felt sore. He lost his parents when he was five years old. He didn't get much warmth in his growth process. After a long time, he had to lie to himself. There are still many emotions in life, including career satisfaction and success.In fact, after going through the wind and rain, those desires that once made him obsessed are not as real and warm as being held by Tong Min's gentle hands at this moment.

At least it can make him feel that there is still life ahead, and there are still people in this world who need his care.

Turning around to leave, I was filled with pride and warmth for a moment, but then I thought of the big trouble, where did the money come from?

In the previous life, there was talk of advance payment in the enterprise, and I don't know if the Pei family can accept this method.Thinking about his special status, since he sold himself to Pei's mansion and couldn't escape anyway, Steward Li shouldn't have anything to worry about.

He had to try everything, and after returning home, he went to Li Mingxiu in person without any concealment, and told the reason honestly, in order to play the family card.

Li Mingxiu sighed slightly after hearing this, "You have a heart of fists, understandable. But the Hou's Mansion is not Jishantang, you can't say that you have been chosen by your wife right now, even if you follow Brother Xiao, it is only two taels of silver a month, and you will pay five taels in advance , what do you plan to rely on to maintain your due expenses?"

"Young ones can do other things, Mr. Li, sweeping the house, feeding the horses, the masters go out, run errands, do laundry and help in the kitchen, the young ones can do everything."

Li Mingxiu looked at him with a broken smile, "You? How much energy does a person have, a child from every family, who speaks without thinking about the consequences."

"The young one is in good health and has plenty of energy. If Master Li doesn't believe it, why not try it for a month first. If the young one can do it, please give me this chance."

"You dare to think and do it, but you did it all by yourself. Why do you let the people who did these things do it?" Li Mingxiu shook his head, "Are you spending money for nothing?"

At the same time, holding the forehead, from the management point of view, this matter is really difficult to handle. Just as he was about to speak, the door was blown open by a gust of wind. A woman rushed in, spread out the things in her hands and stuffed them into Li Mingxiu's arms, "You Look, the new material I bought just got on my body, and the monkey pulled the thread from behind. Your girl is also raised for nothing. I am blind and can't recognize needles, but she is good. She is not deaf or blind at a young age. I was stunned to recognize a stick of incense thread and didn't go into the needle's eye, raising such a waste dim sum, you are still a treasure all day long, let's see which family is willing to have her in the future."

Li Mingxiu frowned as if he was pouring beans, but when he heard it behind him, he burst out laughing again.

"You're still laughing, just get used to her," the woman put her hands on her hips, "Bring me the money, I'll go out and find Tailor Xu, I can't count on raising my daughter for nothing, and I have to spend this money to waste money!"

Li Mingxiu was not happy to listen to his mother-in-law counting the daughters. He didn't say anything about opening the cabinet to get money, but at the same time, the listener was interested. Looking at the pomegranate red horse-face skirt in the woman's hand, he said, "The little one can do needlework, the second Why don't you give me the skirt, and it will be sewn up by noon this evening."

Li Mingxiu and his wife were stunned for a moment. It is not new for a man to be able to sew and make clothes these days, but this child was originally from an official family, so he can be a female celebrity?

Tong knew that they had doubts, and explained with a smile, "When I was at home, I learned some needlework with my family members. At that time, I was young, and the adults in the family just thought it was fun and didn't care too much. Later, when I saw the little one's heart, I also specially taught it to criticize the young ones for being too unmotivated."

While talking, he cooperated with a bit of shame, he knew that even if the government opened up again in this year, there would be no reason for officials' children to learn to do needlework, so he had to find some reason for his own failure, but God knows, This "no-promise" is indeed the means by which he made a living in his previous life.

And he still has deep confidence in this method.

Although later generations have completely liberated the designer himself due to the industrialized production of ready-made garments, he does not need to make clothes by himself, but sewing and cutting are still compulsory courses in school, and he has accumulated a wealth of cutting experience during his internship at Jil Sander. , I also studied with the old craftsman for a whole year.

Seeing his serious face, Li Mingxiu looked at his wife and nodded, "Why don't you give it to him to try."

The woman hesitated a little before handing over the skirt, then she warned, "Boy, if you damage it, you will have to pay me for the skirt."

At the same time, he smiled, took it with both hands, and nodded, "Madam, don't worry, I understand."

The author has something to say: The high-end brothel is called Shuyu, probably after the Xianfeng period in the late Qing Dynasty. It was popular in Shanghai. The waiter has high-level pipa playing skills, and also speaks an authentic Wu Nong soft language.For details, you can refer to Zhang Ailing's translation of "Shanghai Hua Lie Biography" - anyway, it is an overhead era, pretending that it is the end of the [-]th century and the beginning of the [-]th century.

In addition, JILSANDER is my favorite German minimalist fashion. The cut and lines are excellent. You can only know how wonderful it is only by trying it. After becoming the master, he made a comeback, but still failed.Two years ago, it seemed that the entire line was withdrawn from China, and currently only a small amount is sold in Lane Crawford and other boutiques.

Of course, 10 years ago, a "looking" extremely ordinary white shirt sold for 7000 soft sister coins. At the same price, the ladies and ladies in the imperial capital would definitely be more willing to accept a well-known "big brand", such as Gucci, such as Prada ...But I still have to say that the quality is different. Jilsander's clothes can be worn for 20 years, and it is no problem to leave it to my daughter.
