Wrong Changhuan

After the welcoming dinner, An Cuo took Chang Huan out the door.

Not long after, I saw a flower building in front of me, with two strings of fiery red lanterns hanging beside the door, and a plaque with three big characters Yunxiang Pavilion written on it.

Chang Huan only felt lively and festive, and said, "Ah Cuo, do you want to continue drinking when you bring me here? But I just finished eating...I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anymore..."

An Cuo lowered his head and smiled, and said, "It's rare that I don't have your follower... I'm here for wine, but it's not just for wine..." He said and brought Chang Huan to the door.

The welcome at the door was a young woman, all dressed up tremblingly, and greeted them with a smile as they entered the door.

When the proprietress in the building saw An Cuo, her expression froze.Immediately, he left the regular customers he had greeted, and only took a look at An Cuo when he came closer, and said, "I didn't expect you to come back so soon..." He stared at Chang Huan again, and finally Turning to the welcoming girl, "Take it to the private room... No need to say hello, I'll come over in person later--"

Chang Huan saw that in the middle of the hall, there was a high platform on which a veiled woman was playing the piano, and there were men and women around, eating and chatting, drinking and punching, listening to music quietly, and everyone else.Before he could see enough, Ah Cuo dragged him up to the second floor.

After the door of the private room was closed, the room suddenly became much quieter.

Chang Huan asked curiously, "Do you know that person just now?"

"Hmm..." An mistakenly poured a cup of tea, handed it to Chang Huan, and said, "Can you find any difference between this place and other restaurants?"

Chang Huan looked around in the room, nodded and said, "Other restaurants welcome guests at the door, but here are girls, but it's not common. Also... the girls downstairs are dressed... some... Different...but they all look so happy...there are a few more, pretty good looking..."

An Cuo was jealous, and said with a smirk, "Then, is it as beautiful as me?"

"Ah Cuo, you...knew that the consultant..." Chang Huan said as he lowered his head and drank his tea.

An Cuo took a sip of tea, couldn't help laughing, and said, "You observed carefully." After a pause, he added, "Aren't you curious about brothels before...here is..."

Chang Huan spit out the tea after listening to it, but the person on the opposite side suffered a disaster.Chang Huan had a complex expression, apologetic and blamed, and said in a low voice, "Ah Cuo, why... take me...to... a brothel?"

In a panic, Chang Huan took out the handkerchief and wiped An Cuo's face, but was restrained by that white and tender hand.

An Cuo gently pulled out the handkerchief, wiped the front of his chest, and said, "Who said this is a brothel... This is a brothel, not a brothel..."

An Cuo frowned suddenly as he spoke, and said, "No...you didn't even know what drinking flower wine was before, how did you know about brothels? Be honest, who told you?"

Chang Huan acted like he did something wrong, lacked confidence, bowed his head and said, "Yes...I asked...Chen Yu came..."

"I see him, his skin is itchy recently..."

"He just said one thing to me, that's all..." Then Chen Yu was sent away by Chen Yang.

"In the future, don't ask him about this kind of thing..."

"Oh..." Chang Huan pouted, and reluctantly agreed.

For questions that he doesn't understand, Chang Huan has always been curious. In Yang Yan's words, he has inherited his spirit of loving to study and his courage to ask questions to the end.

So Chang Huan asked again, "You said just now that this is a brothel, not a brothel, is it different?"

"Brothels are only for flesh and blood..."

"Then... what is the fur business? They also sell fur like foxes and ferrets? Do they sell reindeer and rabbit meat?" Chang Huan licked his lips and said, "No wonder the food outside is so delicious. ...Yunxiang Pavilion, the name is also very fragrant..."

This question caused Jiang An to blush by mistake. He didn't know how to explain it, so he took a sip of tea unnaturally before turning a corner, "In the brothel, many people are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they do not sell themselves. It's all about voluntary... that's the biggest difference, you know what I mean?"

"Oh..." Chang Huan nodded obediently, then raised his head suddenly, reacted suddenly, opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise and shame, "Ah?" Then he lowered his head and fiddled with the skirt of his clothes, and said, " Ah Cuo, why do you talk to others about this..."

An Cuo raised his eyes and said innocently, "Isn't this, you asked me?"

The long-talked person had nothing to say, so he leaned closer to An Cuo's face and asked seriously, "A Cuo, tell the truth, do you often come to this kind of place?"

"Occasionally...occasionally..." An Cuo said, and hurriedly changed the subject, "I've been here for a long time, why don't you come over to greet us?"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a knock on the door, before the people in the house answered, the proprietress was followed by two servants, and served the food and wine.

The proprietress sat beside Chang Huan, poured a glass of wine and handed it to An Cuo's table, and said with emotion, "It's been three months since we last said goodbye... Life flies by so fast."

Chang Huan listened to this, and looked at the woman beside her who was about 30 years old, but with an ordinary appearance.

An made a mistake, "Yes... This time, I came here to take away the things that were stored in your place last time." He took out a few bank notes, handed them to the opposite side, and said, "There are 1000 taels here, and they are yours. remuneration."

The proprietress looked at the bank note, but she was not polite. She took a look at it in her hand and put it in her arms.Turning around and continuing to pour wine for Chang Huan, she couldn't help but look at her carefully, and said with a smile, "It seems that a piece of leftover moon cake from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a few words of nonsense from me, plus the two dollars I saved for you in the bottom of the box. This piece of clothing is actually more profitable than me opening this Yunxiang Pavilion...Maybe, I should consider changing careers..."

"Are you willing to?"

The proprietress let out a chuckle, and said, "Yes, I can't bear it...I love money so much, why should I earn tens of thousands of taels, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night..."

An Cuo smiled slightly and said, "You haven't changed at all."

The proprietress stopped laughing, paused, and said, "You have changed a lot." Then she turned to look at Chang Huan, and said, "It seems that you have found the person who changed you... Xiao Girl, what's your name?"

When Chang Huan heard this, he took a look at An Cuo, saw her nodding slightly, and then replied cautiously, "Chang Huan..."

"Chang Huan... the name sounds so nice... the small appearance is so handsome..." the proprietress said with a smile, as if she had thought of something, but there was a trace of strangeness and compassion in her eyes, and she poured a glass of wine , and then drank it down.He filled it up again, raised his glass and said, "Congratulations, you have lovers, and you will finally get married."

An made a mistake, "Thank you-" After saying that, he had a drink with Chang Huan.

The proprietress asked, "Have you thought about the future?"

An said wrongly, "Yes."

"Mingyue Tower, I won't let you go..."

"I know."

"It's good to know..." The proprietress said, got up and said, "Your things, I will send someone to bring them to you later..." She was about to go out, but she turned around at the door and said, "This wine is not bad. Well...I brewed it myself...I think it tastes good, don't forget to give me more rewards when I leave later..." After a few words, he resumed his ostentatious and enthusiastic attitude, and went out to greet him.

After the house was quiet, Chang Huan finally had a chance to ask, "Ah Cuo, is this person your friend?"

An Cuo shook his head instinctively, smiled suddenly, nodded again, and said, "Forget it."

"Then, why did you give her so many banknotes?" It is true that 1000 taels is not a small sum.

An Cuo looked at Chang Huan and said, "Do you know who she is?"

Chang Huan shook his head and said, "Isn't she the boss here?"

"Yes, she is Boss Yun of Yunxiang Pavilion..." An Cuo paused, and then said, "But before this identity, five years ago, she was the biggest brothel in the capital, the most fashionable oiran-Jin Se... so many princes and grandchildren spend a lot of money, just to listen to her play the piano and talk..."

"But she looks like this now..." Chang Huan didn't finish, but in fact, she didn't look very good-looking.

An Cuo smiled, poured wine for Chang Huan, and said, "That's the disguise technique... She abandoned her original appearance and made it into her present appearance on purpose..."

Everyone in the world thinks that they are not beautiful enough, yet some people go against it.Chang Huan didn't understand, and asked curiously, "Why did she do this? Could it be...she ran out secretly? Or...to avoid enemies?"

An mistakenly drank a glass of wine, and said slowly, "No, she redeemed herself, and no one chased her down..."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a knock on the door, but it was the woman who had come to greet them before, holding a black cloth bag and a jug of wine, and entered the door.

The woman said, "Boss Yun said that the original thing will be returned... He also said that this pot of wine is for this girl..." After finishing speaking, he put the cloth bag by the table, then nodded and left the door.

Chang Huan opened the package, and inside was a white shirt that Ah Cuo often wore, and a cloak, but it was the one he had given Ah Cuo by the Moon Spring.

An Cuo saw the doubts on Chang Huan's face, and said quietly, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I came here and met Boss Yun...I told her that I met someone who made my heart move, but I didn't know ,what to do."

Chang Huan didn't know about this, and said immediately, "What did she say?"

An Cuo lowered his head and smiled quietly, then stopped laughing, looked at Chang Huan and said, "At first, she didn't say anything, she just invited me to drink a pot of wine and eat a piece of moon cake... We are sitting here At that time, the moon was long gone... She said that she envied me and said that I was very lucky... After a long time, she said that she was willing to use everything she had, including her Fate, in exchange for seeing Yunran again...After listening to her, I know what I should do..."

So after An Cuo completed the task and returned to Kansai to return to his life, he traveled day and night when he had time, and came to Xiwu Mountain Bieyuan in the middle of the night, just to see Chang Huan, just to hug her, and then say, I miss you.It happened that Chang Huan was drunk for the first time, so he confessed his love to her first.

Chang Huan frowned and asked, "Yunran? Who is it?"

An Cuo was silent for a while before saying, "Chang Huan, I told you before that the master of Lou Xiaolou and I is Jing Jiuge...but in Mingyuelou, during the five years from eight to 13 years old , the one who taught me the most and gave me the most love was a killer, her name was Yunran... five years ago, she died..."

Seeing that An Cuo's expression was a little heavy and sad, Chang Huan reached out and took An Cuo's hand.

An Cuo smiled dimly, shook hands back, and said, "It's like she knew she would die that day. Before she left for the mission, she entrusted me with all her wealth and told me that if she couldn't come back, let me go to the capital Feng Mantian, found a woman named Jinse, and gave her all the things I entrusted to me... But, there is one thing, I can't tell Jinse that she is dead... She said, Jinse If she knew she was dead, she would definitely not want to live alone...but she wants Jinse to live well..."

"Then Jinse won't ask?"

An Cuo nodded and said, "She asked...I said, Yunran asked you to wait for her...she redeemed herself and came to Xiaoguan...because this is Yunran My old home... She has been waiting... A year later, when I came back, she lost a lot of weight. I gave her money, assuming it was Yunran who gave it to her... She asked me again, where is Yunran I didn’t dare to look her in the eyes, I didn’t know how to answer, so I said the same thing, Yunran asked you to wait for her... When she came back the next year, she had changed her face, Opened this Yunxiang Pavilion..."

Chang Huan whispered, "She...does she know that Yun Ran will not come back?"

"She never asked me about this... It was like, if she didn't ask me and I didn't answer, she still had hope... So later, I didn't know whether I was lying She... or she was lying to herself... Later, when I came to see her, she was much busier than before, but she seemed much happier. The matter of Yunxiang Pavilion took up a lot of her time And energy...you know why she loves money so much?"

Chang Huan shook his head and said, "Why?"

An Cuo smiled lightly, and continued, "Did you see any beggars in Xiaoguan City?" After a pause, he asked himself and answered, "That's because she helps all homeless people. ...Even the women in the Yunxiang Pavilion did not have a contract of prostitution, and everything they did was voluntary. She...never forced anyone...if she wanted to leave, she could leave at any time. She also gives generous gifts... Those who are willing to stay, she will give them all... Therefore, people here respect her very much. Once drinking, she told me that people who leave the brothel wish they could spend their entire lives. No longer mentioning this disgraceful past, but living in a brothel where there is no oppression and you can be yourself freely is the dream she once told Yunran... Yunran promised her to realize it together...Now, The silver tael left to her by Yunran has come true...so, she is very serious about running this place..."

Chang Huan listened, how could he not feel admiration, just saw the package on the table, and asked, "Then, why are your clothes and this cloak with her?"

An Cuo reached out and touched the cloak, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "I'm afraid that one day, if I am like Yun Ran, I will never come back again. At least I will have the cloak you gave me to accompany me. You can set up a tomb for me... At that time, I don't think I will be lonely..."

"Bah, bah, bah--" Chang Huan looked sullen after hearing this, frowned deeply, and said, "Ah Cuo, you are not allowed to curse yourself... You will live a long life, you promised me that you would accompany me to Bai Hair...you promised..." After saying that, there were already tears in the eyes of grievance.

The pear blossoms are raining, which is heartbreaking.

An Cuo gently took Chang Huan into his arms, and comforted him softly, "So, didn't you take it back this time... What I promised, I always keep my word... With you by my side, I cherish my life I am very, very afraid of dying..."

"You are not allowed to say death... this word, you are not allowed to say..."

"Okay, don't say it... don't say it again... I will listen to you, so don't cry anymore... Come on, laugh..."

Chang Huan laughed through tears.

Before leaving, Chang Huan poured all the silver taels in his purse on the table.

After going out, I met Jinse who was coming from the corridor.Chang Huan held the jug and said, "Boss Yun, this wine is delicious, and I put the money on the table for you..."

An Cuo nodded, carrying the package in one hand, and tightly holding Chang Huan's hand in the other, and left without further words.

When Jinse returned to the private room, seeing the white silver coins, she smiled slightly, and murmured, "I really let her find the treasure..."

Beneath the seemingly calm surface, the inside is already turbulent.

The next day, the order to kill the life-seeking sword An Cuo spread from Jiangdong to Xiao Guan.

This pursuit came not only from Mingyue Tower, but also from the entire world.
