If yes

On the moon, when the willow twigs were singing and dancing, Zheng Jingchi sent the two sons away with a strong smile, and slammed the gate of Xiangying Xiaozhu with a "slap", and turned his face, the smile on his face was gone.

Xu'er tugged at Aunt Yu, and beckoned the other maidservants to return to the servant room knowingly. She knew that Madam was going to teach the girl a lesson today.

Huo Xiaoyu sat sideways at the dining table, resting her chin on her left hand, playing with a gold ingot with her right hand, waiting for Zheng Jingchi to come to him angrily, without being startled or afraid.

"Xiaoyu, tell mother, what are you doing today? Look at your outfit, how is it different from those whores in brothels?" Zheng Jingchi reached out to touch her forehead in grief, and said to himself, "You clearly You are in good health, could it be that you have been haunted by some evil spirit?"

Huo Xiaoyu raised her face and looked at Zheng Jingchi calmly, her eyes were calm and lifeless, "Mother, whores in brothels are women, and we are also women. They sell themselves, we sell their laughter, it's also for money, we are both prostitutes." People in the door, we are not as noble as them, are we?"

Zheng Jingchi's heart was blocked, he shook his head and sighed: "Xiaoyu, if you lose your innocence, your life will be ruined!" Zheng Jingchi said sadly, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't help crying Come on, "Mother's life is already a tragedy, I really don't want you to repeat her mistakes, do you understand?"

Huo Xiaoyu's heart felt sour, his eyes softened, he put down the gold ingot in his hand, stretched out his arms to hug Zheng Jingchi's body, and leaned on her belly, "Mother, I have already stepped into a whore house, I can come here to find How many men who are happy and happy can be entrusted for life?"

"..." Zheng Jingchi was taken into consideration by Huo Xiaoyu, how could she not know this truth, but she was still delusional, dreaming that there would be a young hero who could save Xiaoyu from suffering, and live a safe and happy life from now on.

Huo Xiaoyu had tears in her eyes, she tightened her arms, and said in a low voice: "Mother, Xiaoyu doesn't want to meet any cold and ruthless man again. In this life, I just want to get out of prostitution as soon as possible, and take care of my mother for a peaceful life."

"It's easier said than done..." Zheng Jingchi choked up and opened his mouth, raised his hand to caress Huo Xiaoyu's bun, and blamed himself, "It's your mother who is useless, that's why you are so tired..."

Huo Xiaoyu shook his head, raised his head, and looked at Zheng Jingchi with a smile, "Xiaoyu has never complained about mother, nor has she ever hated mother. Don't blame yourself, mother, okay?"

Zheng Jingchi sighed sadly, nodded silently, raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and looked at Huo Xiaoyu worriedly, "Xiaoyu, are you really going to perform in Shangzhou tomorrow? You have to think clearly. , in the future, more princes and grandsons will invite you to go out, I am afraid that sooner or later, there will be... accidents..."

Huo Xiaoyu knew what she was worried about. In fact, she was also a little scared. Although Shangzhou is not far from Chang'an, the road is not peaceful. This life is really hopeless.Even if their mother and daughter return safely, Huo Xiaoyu has no reason to refuse if someone invites her in the future.When she arrived at someone else's mansion, she couldn't help but say "no". How could she keep herself innocent with a weak girl like her?

"Mother, there is a way here. Tomorrow morning, you will say that you are caught with a cold and cannot travel, so let's push Shangzhou to perform."

"Do not."

Huo Xiaoyu uttered the word firmly, a resolute light flashed in his eyes, "Mother, we must go for the trip to Shangzhou."

Zheng Jingchi shook his head in confusion, "Why?"

"Because this is my only chance to get out of prostitution." Huo Xiaoyu said decisively, and took Zheng Jingchi's cold hand, "Mother, as long as my performance wins General Yun's satisfaction, the lion will open his mouth and ask for a sum. We don’t have to suffer so much in this life.”

Zheng Jingchi understood the meaning of Huo Xiaoyu's words, but he still hesitated a little, "How much salary can a General Yunhui from the third rank have?"

"Is there any official who doesn't search for the people's fat?" Huo Xiaoyu nodded firmly, "I don't want to be trapped in the Qili Fireworks Alley, waiting for a lover who will never show up. Since this person won't show up, why? Can't I save myself once?" Then, Huo Xiaoyu's eyes fell on the ingot of gold ingot on the table, "Mother, look, I am still young today, and I can get a gold ingot if I show off a little bit. Yuan Bao, if my youth passes away in the future, even if I sacrificed my innocence, I may not be able to get this table of warm food, if we don't make plans early, we will only suffer more and more."

Zheng Jingchi looked at Xiaoyu's face in astonishment, and murmured, "Actually, Li Yi can be considered a beloved man today..."

"It's just a hypocrite with ostentatious appearances. How can you trust people at first glance?" Huo Xiaoyu's heart stabbed, and he sneered, "Mother, knowing people, knowing the face but not the heart, this person is definitely not a good man, don't mention him again from now on. .”

"Do you know him?" Zheng Jingchi was even more puzzled, and asked what he had been wanting to ask today.

Huo Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled coolly, "I don't think I've ever seen this person before, at least I can still wishful thinking that there will be a lover who treats me like a treasure, and I'm cherished in my heart."

Zheng Jingchi was confused, "Xiaoyu?"

Huo Xiaoyu laughed hastily: "Mother, don't mention him anymore, it's getting late, mother should hurry up and pack up, and go to sleep early."

Zheng Jingchi suppressed the doubts in his heart, sighed and nodded. Now that things are up to now, I only hope that Xiaoyu's calculations are correct. This trip to Shangzhou will allow them to live comfortably for half their lives.

Huo Xiaoyu watched Zheng Jingchi walk into the backyard, picked up the gold ingot on the table and walked out of the front hall, calling: "Xu'er, Xu'er."

"Miss, I'm here." Xu'er quickly ran over, "Miss, do you have any orders?"

Huo Xiaoyu shook his head, smiled softly, and put the gold ingot in Xu'er's palm, "This is a lot of money earned today, you can share it with everyone."

Xu'er stared in shock, glanced at Huo Xiaoyu in disbelief, then at the heavy gold ingot in her palm, and said in a trembling voice, "Girl, you are..."

"If we stay in Shangzhou and never come back, these are enough for you to find a good employer again." Huo Xiaoyu squeezed her fingers together, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You have to hold on tight, If you lose it, you will starve."

Xu'er heard what Xiaoyu meant, and felt her nose sore, raised her hand to rub it, and looked at Huo Xiaoyu reluctantly, "Young lady and madam don't want us to serve you anymore?"

Huo Xiaoyu chuckled, scratched the tip of Xu'er's nose with her fingers, and said, "Silly girl, why are you crying? You will always meet some people in your life, and you will also say goodbye to some people. Although women are made of water, these tears cannot Just let it go." After finishing speaking, Huo Xiaoyu also rubbed his slightly sore nose, "Hehe, if the trip to Shangzhou does not go well, my mother and I will come back, and then I will hire you back to Xiangying Xiaozhu, okay? "

"En!" Xu'er nodded heavily, "It's a servant's honor to serve the girl and madam."

"Hehe, go down and rest." Huo Xiaoyu glanced at Xiangying Xiaozhu, and suddenly remembered something, "Tomorrow, my mother and I will go to Shangzhou, you can live here first, and you don't have to wander outside."

Xu'er nodded flattered, "Yes! Yes! Thank you, girl!"

"Hehe, in fact, you guys are better off than me. Being a slave is much cleaner than being a young man." Huo Xiaoyu suddenly said something to herself, and smiled dumbly, her eyes sparkling, and everything was desolate.

"Ah?" Xu'er didn't know how to respond, so she could only stand there in a daze.

Huo Xiaoyu waved her hand, indicating that it was okay, and silently walked back to the front hall with the hem of her skirt.

In the cold March night, she stepped barefoot on the icy floor, and the cold air penetrated into her skin and into her heart, weaving into a dense net of frost, which made her heart feel cold and painful, and she quietly put away the old woman from yesterday. Naively, she locked her heart deeply.

The bright moon is lonely in the sky, and the light is cold for hundreds of miles in Chang'an.

Huo Xiaoyu looked up to Changtian, with a seductive smile on the corner of his mouth, "From now on, you will be Huo Xiaoyu who only depends on you."

As the night was getting darker, Zheng Jingchi tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep. He always felt inexplicably uneasy, wondering if tomorrow's trip would be bad or good?

In the early morning of the second day, two brothers, Yunfei and Yunyang, drove a carriage to the entrance of Xiangying Xiaozhu, waited patiently for Huo Xiaoyu and her daughter to get into the carriage with their luggage, and then whipped the horse and drove them out of Chang'an city ​​gate.

Huo Xiaoyu lifted up the corner of the car curtain, looking at the gradually blurred outline of Chang'an City, feeling a little bit sad in his heart.

I finally left this place of fireworks, I only hope that everything will come true when I go here, and I will never return.

Zheng Jingchi patted Xiaoyu's shoulder lightly, "Xiaoyu, it's very dusty outside, let's put down the car curtain to cover some dust, so as not to stain your makeup."

Huo Xiaoyu nodded and loosened the car curtain, sat next to Zheng Jingchi, adjusted her clothes slightly, and said with a smile: "Mother, you are still thoughtful."

Zheng Jingchi raised his hand and gently smoothed Xiaoyu's sideburns, saying: "Mother is old, so I can naturally think of one thing for you, even if it is just one thing, there is still a long way to go in the future. Mother only hopes that you will live in good health forever. You can meet someone who treats you sincerely and will be with you forever."

Huo Xiaoyu leaned sideways on Zheng Jingchi's knees, "It's good if my mother is by my side..."

"Stupid child." Zheng Jingchi caressed her face lovingly, "It will take five hours to go to Shangzhou, so please close your eyes and sleep for a while."

"Okay..." Huo Xiaoyu closed her eyes, but she couldn't see the more solemn expression on Zheng Jingchi's face at this moment.

Zheng Jingchi sighed softly, raised his hand and took off the purple jade hairpin from the bun, and gently placed it on Xiaoyu's bun - this was the token of love that Prince Huo gave her back then, even if these Years were poor and lonely, and he did not pawn this valuable purple jade hairpin.

I hope you are alive, my lord, and bless Xiaoyu for a safe trip.

Zheng Jing prayed sincerely. Thinking of her deceased husband, she just felt the pain in her heart, and her eyes were moistened quietly.

The carriage galloped south along the official road, all the way calmly, entered the city gate of Shangzhou at sunset, and stopped in front of the general's mansion.

Yun Yang happily jumped out of the carriage, and threw the whip in his hand at his brother, "Brother, I leave this place to you!"

"You son of a bitch, be careful that Miss Qixia will pour a bucket of cold water on you again!" Yun Fei knew what his second brother was thinking. This Miss Qixia was General Yun's personal servant girl. He also valued her, how can the second brother, a little lieutenant general, think about it?So Yunfei would ring the alarm bell for him from time to time, fearing that his second younger brother would get stuck in the mud and would suffer in the future.

"Second brother!" Yun Yang glared at Yun Fei unwillingly, "If you don't like me going, it's fine if I don't go, so please don't say a few words if you spoil the fun." After finishing speaking, Yun Yang walked away with his head down Arriving in front of Yunfei, he sighed.

Yunfei punched Yunyang's chest, "Manly man, you won't lose a piece of meat if you lose a woman, you are so virtuous, you really look like a woman!"

"Second brother..." Yun Yang rubbed his chest that was hurting from the beating, and just about to refute, he heard Huo Xiaoyu's voice from the carriage.

"Dare to ask the two generals, but have you arrived at the general's mansion?"

Yun Fei immediately replied: "Miss Huo, Mrs. Huo, you have indeed arrived. Please wait a while in the carriage, let me inform the general so that we can make arrangements." With a wink, "Hurry up and inform the general that Miss Huo has received it."

"Okay!" Yun Yang nodded sternly, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a white robe appearing in front of the gate of the mansion - with red plums dotted on the sleeves, and a white jade belt on his waist. This young man was pale and thin. , compared to the two Yunfei brothers, they are really a lot thinner.

"General... General!" Yun Yang hastily lowered his head and cupped his fists, bowing respectfully, "Miss Huo has received..."

What kind of person would the employer of this trip, General Yun Wanxiao, be?

Huo Xiaoyu in the carriage was a little curious, quietly raised a corner of the curtain, and looked towards the front of the house——
