Empress snatches dried fish

The two stayed together like this for a while, then heard a new song coming from downstairs, got up and looked down for a while, then lay down silently again—not enough, not enough at all.Although Geng Bai'an doesn't know much about it himself, he can only distinguish between good and bad according to his own preferences, but the original owner, Geng Bai'an, has a certain level of accomplishment in music because he has been exposed to rhythm since childhood, so if she is asked to say what is not enough, she can also say Come out like one, two, three, four.

If you want to find a teacher, you have to find the best one, otherwise she can just teach by herself?Why go all the way out to find someone.

The performers passed by one by one, and the spectators watching below also changed batch after batch, and many of them joined the show, but Geng Bai'an was not at all moved, and always felt that something was missing.Perhaps because of performing like this for many years, these people have also lost something called "spiritual energy". They only know how to please the audience infinitely, and their own characteristics are not outstanding at all.

To put it simply, these women have been raised to be exactly the same.

This discovery made Geng Bai'an very frustrated. She thought that the women in folk brothels would try their best to perform in order to make their performance stand out, but it turned out not to be the case.Geng Bai'an admits that everyone's performance has their own characteristics, but that characteristic is not strong. They are like students who have not yet graduated from the master. They can only "learn" but not "study". Very standard, not impressive.

Geng Bai'an felt that if they were all like this, it would be better to look for them directly in the palace dancers, since they were pretty much the same anyway.

The two waited from the afternoon to the evening, and from the evening until it was dark. Seeing that it was almost time to return to the palace, they still couldn't find anyone they were satisfied with.When he saw the old face again - the woman they saw when they first came in, Geng Bai'an knew it was over.The performers had already finished their round, and there would be no more, so Geng Bai'an took Yu Gan's hand and walked out.

"Let's go back."

"En." Yu Gan could feel Geng Bai'an's loss at the moment, so he didn't say anything.The girls on the stage didn't even impress themselves, let alone the strict Geng Bai'an.To be honest, Yu Gan felt a little strange. After all, this Qinglou seemed to be the largest brothel in Chongjing that sold its performances but not its body.

At first they thought they just didn't show up, so they specially called Xiaoer to ask, but it turned out that there was really no pillar.It is said that two pillars had an accident a few months ago, one was injured and the other was seriously injured, so there are no new pillars in the building for the time being.The boss feels that these people are not qualified, so he would rather leave the position vacant than shoddy.

So they came a few months late, if they came earlier...

It's also unlikely, at that time, Geng Bai'an himself didn't know whether he came or not, after all, the information of "a few months ago" was too vague.

But when Geng Bai'an asked what happened to them, the little girl kept silent.It's not a glorious thing to say, the boss won't allow it, and everyone can't say it outside, otherwise the job will not be guaranteed.Geng Bai'an didn't force it either, after all, it was a matter of clearing the building, and it seemed like it was still a secret, so he could only return disappointed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went downstairs, he vaguely heard a shrill female voice yelling from the backyard, Geng Bai'an frowned and felt something was wrong, so he rushed into the backyard before Xiao Er, the leader, could react.

All I saw was a gorgeously dressed woman who was lowering her head and wiping her wet skirt with a handkerchief, and kept cursing loudly at the woman in front of her.This woman Geng Bai'an knew, she was one of the performers on the stage in the afternoon, if she remembered correctly, she was still singing.It's fine if the singer doesn't know how to protect his voice, and now the sharp scolding and the sweet singing in the afternoon sound like two different people.

If it weren't for this era, there should be no such thing as "false singing", and Geng Bai'an would have thought that the person who sang was not herself.

And the woman in front of her was even more embarrassed than her, she was almost wet from head to toe, how big was the basin of water to pour it like this?When Geng Bai'an saw the big wooden basin next to her, he instantly understood.Two people should have accidentally collided, and the drenched woman happened to be holding a large wooden basin full of water, so such a collision would be... not right!That's not quite logical.

The weight of such a large wooden basin filled with water is astonishing. Even if it can barely be lifted above the head, it is impossible for ordinary people to fetch water and put it on top of the head.And with the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, even if you bump into someone, you will habitually turn your wrists outward, so it shouldn't be you who got wet at all, but the woman who cursed.But according to her status, the girl in Qinglou has someone to serve her, so it is impossible to fetch water by herself. This basin of water should be drawn by the drenched woman.

Taking a ten thousand step back, if the wrist really splashed inward on her body, the front side would be soaked at most, and other places would be fine, but this woman was wet from head to toe, which is really strange.

Standing there, Geng Bai'an had already entered the detective mode, completely ignoring Yu Gan and Xiao Er who were chasing after him.

Guests are not allowed in the backyard, just as Xiao Er was about to let Geng Bai'an and Yu Gan go out, a golden bead was stuffed into the palm of Yu Gan's hand.Xiao Er looked up at Yu Gan, and saw Yu Gan gave her a reassuring look.Xiao Er hesitated for a while, then nodded and chose to watch from the side.If these two sons don't do anything wrong, she should just turn a blind eye.

A golden bead, although Qinglou has a lot of monthly money, it is something she has not been able to earn for several years.

Not far away, the two women were confronting each other, and they didn't realize that someone had entered the backyard at all.

I saw that the drenched woman in ordinary clothes didn't show any timidity on her face, she raised her hand to wipe off the water on her face, and said lightly: "Why, you are not satisfied with me making myself like this at your request, why don't you give me a look?" Didn't scold enough?"

Geng Bai'an suddenly realized this time - the feelings are poured out by himself!No wonder all 360 degrees will suffer.

The woman in the fancy dress didn't seem to expect such a reaction from the other party, she cursed more than before, swearing like she didn't want money.Maybe it was because of anger, the voice was sharper than before, piercing Geng Bai'an's ears.

She frowned, turned her head and covered Yu Gan's ears with her hands - she couldn't let this kind of shrew contaminate their small dried fish.

If he hadn't known that this was Qinglou, Geng Bai'an would have thought that he had entered a vegetable market in an uncivilized area, and there was no civilization or manners at all from the woman in the gorgeous dress, not even the basic cultivation that a person should have.In the afternoon, he still looks like a human being on stage, but behind his back is such a pair of virtues. I don't know if everyone in Qinglou is at this level.

If it is true, no matter how good the skills are, it is worth noting.

On the contrary, the drenched woman opposite her looked much more cultivated.

Geng Bai'an was about to turn around and take Yu Gan away, but was stopped by the woman's words.

"Pei Rong, why are you putting on airs after you have become this virtuous? Do you think you are one of the pillars of Qinglou? Don't dream, you are an ugly monster now!"

Pillars?that woman? !

Geng Bai'an quickly turned around, but found that he really hadn't seen the woman's face clearly, probably because she was wet, so her hair was tightly attached to her face, making it difficult to see her appearance clearly.But if you only look at her body, you will find that her figure is indeed better than this beautifully dressed woman, or better than all the women Geng Bai'an saw on stage today.

In retrospect, although her speaking speed was not fast, it did give people a gentle and calm feeling. In comparison, this woman in gorgeous clothes was simply unsightly... Well, what she said was also unsightly.

The person named Pei Rong couldn't see the expression, but Geng Bai'an could hear her mocking tone at the moment: "Li Tao'er, you have to admit that even if I have this virtue, I am a thousand times better than you. If not, you Why do you have to trouble me every day to win a moment of inner satisfaction? Yes, I am ugly now, and I will never be on stage, but I am remembered, loved, and happy. And you, still have not been promoted to the stage Pillar."

Pei Rong is proud, even in this field he is confident and proud.

In fact, she was wrong. After the two of them left the stage, the boss quickly vetoed all the women in Qinglou, and publicly said that no one could take the position of the pillar of the stage.And in the Qing building, it is also rather lacking than flooding, and the pillars must be found, but they will never come out from the existing girls in the building.This sentence directly dispelled everyone's hope.

"You..." Li Tao'er was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"I'm just a handyman in Qinglou now, why do you have to fight against me every day? Do you think I'm the only one who can't compare?" Pei Rong lowered his head and chuckled lightly: "No, even in Qinglou now, the strength is above you There are no less than ten people. If you have this time, it is better to study the skills assiduously, otherwise it is only a matter of time before everyone surpasses them."

With that said, Pei Rong picked up the wooden basin under his feet and prepared to leave.

But Li Tao'er reversed her anger just now and laughed loudly: "Pei Rong, Pei Rong, you are just a handyman now, and you can only talk about it. I think you two were so beautiful back then, but who let you I don't know what to do with that bitch Yu Yinglan..."

"Boom!"

Pei Rong's voice became icy: "You can insult me, but I won't let you talk about her."

With a muffled sound, the wooden basin in Pei Rong's hand hit Li Tao'er's head, and Li Tao'er fell down in response, blood oozing from the place on his forehead where he was hit.But she still seemed to be happy because she had successfully angered Pei Rong, completely ignoring her own pain: "You guys are cheap! You just want to live a good life, but you want to live with it. You are cheap, she is even more..."

"Boom!"

There was another sound, and the blood on Li Tao'er's head flowed even worse.

Then came Pei Rong's icy voice again: "Take it back. The word 'gouqi' can't be used on me, it should be used on you and that...scholar named Chen. Li Taoer, don't think that other people have nothing. I know, if you say Yinglan again, I guarantee that Chen Shusheng's wife will bring people into Qinglou to settle accounts with you tomorrow."

Hearing this, Li Tao'er was obviously taken aback, she pointed at Pei Rong tremblingly for a while, and then suddenly relaxed: "You have no evidence."

"Why do you need evidence for this kind of thing? I just need to spread the word, and Chen Shusheng is a coward. As long as his wife asks, he will tell the whole story. What will happen to you then? Disfigurement? Broken leg? Or ...Death." As Pei Rong said, he raised the wooden basin in his hand again: "I'll give you one last chance to take back what I just said."

Seeing that something was going to happen, Geng Bai'an was going to step forward to stop it, but he heard a serious voice coming from the entrance of the backyard: "Pei Rong, stop!"

Pei Rong glanced at the entrance, only to see a woman in a plain dress walking in, hesitated for a while before throwing away the wooden basin in her hand, and nodded to her: "Sister Qi."

At the same time, that sister Qi also saw Geng Bai'an and Yu Gan, frowned and said: "Young masters, outsiders are not allowed in the backyard of Qinglou, please leave quickly, both gentlemen."

It was only then that Geng Bai'an realized that Xiao Er, who was behind him just now, was already behind Sister Qi at this time, probably because she went to find someone as soon as the incident happened.Then she saw the man who came in after Sister Qi, that man was none other than Xiaoyao Wang, Shu Hongyu, whom Geng Bai'an only saw in the morning court recently.

Sister Qi saw that Shu Hongyu also followed in, with a headache: "My lord, guests are not allowed to enter the backyard, please be considerate of me."

"This king just wants to see the excitement, don't worry about it." Shu Hongyu didn't look surprised when he saw Geng Bai'an and Yu Gan, obviously he knew they were here.

Sister Qi was probably hindered by Shu Hongyu's side, so she couldn't chase him away, so she could only tell Xiaoer: "Please get the two young masters out soon!"

"Yes." Xiao Er immediately walked in front of Geng Bai'an, and made a gesture of invitation.

Unexpectedly, Geng Bai'an had no intention of moving his position, he looked directly at Shu Hongyu, but spoke to Sister Qi: "We are also guests, why can this prince be here, and the two of us have to go out?"

Sister Qi has opened the Qinglou for so many years, and has seen many troublesome guests, her demeanor has not changed: "The prince is naturally a noble person."

"Noble man?" Geng Bai'an twitched the corners of his lips: "Sister Qi, you can ask this prince whether he is more noble or I am more noble."

Shu Hongyu did not dismantle Geng Bai'an's platform, but bent over with a smile and cupped his hands: "Naturally, you have a high status. I have met the empress."

……

What happened afterward was not unexpected. After Geng Bai'an revealed his identity, the backyard became a mass of kneels again.After inquiring about the identities of Pei Rong and Yu Yinglan they were talking about, they found out that they were indeed the two pillars of Qinglou before, but they left Qinglou after being injured in an incident.Due to the pressure of life, Pei Rong returned to Qinglou to do odd jobs soon after.

After Geng Bai'an lifted her hair, he realized where her injury was.In fact, the wound was not big, but there was a scar as small as a fingernail on the cheekbone on the right cheek.Although the scars are not big, after all, on the face, even for an ordinary woman, it is a disfiguring event, let alone a woman like Pei Rong who performs on stage for a living.

After Pei Rong's working hours were over, it was Geng Bai'an who personally sent Pei Rong home, in order to meet Yu Yinglan and listen to their stories by the way.Geng Bai'an is the queen, so Pei Rong naturally couldn't refuse her request, and this matter was not considered a treasonous thing in Pei Rong's mind, so he didn't refuse it either.Of course, Yu Gan and Shu Hongyu also followed.

Geng Bai'an was originally unwilling to let Shu Hongyu follow, but he begged to follow him on the grounds that he wanted to protect the safety of the empress late at night, and Geng Bai'an had nothing to do with him.It's just that because of him, she couldn't have any intimate actions with Yu Gan along the way, so Geng Bai'an always felt very uncomfortable.

When they arrived at Pei Rong's house, Geng Bai'an asked Shu Hongyu to stay in the yard on the grounds that men and women could not get married late at night, but Shu Hongyu did not refuse.The reason why he came here was originally Geng Bai'an, as for these two things about the top names in the Qing Dynasty, it had nothing to do with him at all.Shu Hongyu looked at Geng Bai'an's back as he entered the room, and smiled disdainfully - no wonder Yonghe cared so much, he really liked to meddle in other people's business.

……

After entering the room, Geng Bai'an saw this Yu Yinglan, another front desk pillar of Qinglou.

Yu Yinglan panicked when she saw Geng Bai'an and Yu Gan, she immediately stepped forward and pulled Pei Rong to hide behind her, looked at them vigilantly and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"

Yu Yinglan's voice is very nice, it's not enough to compare her voice to a nightingale, and she has a soft and waxy feeling when she speaks, and it can be seen that her personality should be rather soft and cute.But she was like this, and she was able to protect Pei Rong behind her in the first time, which shows the depth of her feelings.Geng Bai'an just now found out from Li Tao'er's words that the relationship between the two might not be normal, now it can be completely confirmed - they are a couple!

But Yu Yinglan's injury was more obvious, Geng Bai'an saw the burn on her neck the size of an adult's hand at a glance, it was uneven and ugly, but her face was different from Pei Rong, there was no blemish at all.

So the "injured" and "seriously injured" that the second child mentioned is this level?Geng Bai'an suddenly felt that he didn't quite understand the adjectives of this era.Isn't the serious injury like the virtue of being kicked by the leader of the man in black that night in the hunting ground?Thinking of the leader of the man in black, Geng Bai'an thought of Shu Hongyu sitting outside at the moment, feeling very uncomfortable.

Pei Rong hugged her tenderly behind Yu Yinglan, and whispered in her ear: "These two are the current Queen Empress and Mrs. Yu Gan."

Yu Yinglan was stunned for a while in surprise, and then she was about to kneel down to the two of them, but Geng Bai'an stepped forward to support her: "Miss Yu, you don't need to be polite, my palace is outside the palace at the moment, so I don't need so many rules."

"Thank you, empress." Yu Yinglan found two unused cushions for Geng Bai'an and Yu Gan from the cabinet and put them beside the desk: "Empress, Mrs. Yu Gan, please."

Geng Bai'an nodded with a smile, and sat down with Yu Gan.After she sat down, she looked around the house, but she didn't realize that although the place was small and there weren't many things, it was cleaned very cleanly and made people feel very warm.There was a half-embroidered handkerchief on the desk. The material was relatively high-grade, and the stitches were fine and beautiful. It must have been embroidered by Yu Yinglan to exchange for money.

At this time, Yu Yinglan realized that Pei Rong's body was a little wet, and immediately hurriedly found a towel and a change of clothes for her, with a sad expression on her face: "Is Li Tao'er bothering you again?"

"It's okay, she can only beg for cheap, I can bear it." Pei Rong took the clothes with a smile and went to the inner room to change.

The corner of Geng Bai'an's mouth twitched - how could she suffer?Those two knocks were real.Moreover, Sister Qi, the owner of Qinglou, seemed to be thinking of Pei Rong and Yu Yinglan's contribution and contribution to Qinglou, and also understood Pei Rong's temperament, so she didn't intend to blame Pei Rong at all.Instead, he scolded Li Taoer for a while, probably because he knew that Li Taoer was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

But she didn't open her mouth, she just sat quietly and waited for Pei Rong to come out and sit down together before asking about their stories.

Pei Rong didn't think it was a bad thing, but with a happy smile on his face as he talked, he took Yu Yinglan's hand and told Geng Bai'an the whole thing.

It turned out that neither Pei Rong nor Yu Yinglan was a woman who sold herself to Qinglou. Pei Rong was separated from her parents during the famine and became an orphan. So the two went to Qinglou.At first, Sister Qi saw that the two of them were good looking, so she asked them to be secondary girls. Because of this, they met, and because of their sympathy, the two quickly became friends.They are envious of girls who perform on stage, so they learn secretly when they practice.

Later, sister Qi accidentally discovered Pei Rong and Yu Yinglan who were imitating secretly, and thought they were good seedlings, so she cultivated them herself.The two were also very competitive, and it was logical that they became the pillars of Qinglou five years later, and they were just right at that time.In the past few years, the relationship between the two has become better and better. Pei Rong, who is alone and has nothing to worry about, even spends a large part of her wages on treating Yu Yinglan's younger sister, but her congenitally deficient younger sister still does not suffer. Come here, go early.From then on, Pei Rong became Yu Yinglan's only one.

The two have been affectionate for a long time, and they came together naturally, but they thought that due to the secular relationship, they could only start an underground romance.

But somehow this matter was found out by a girl who was jealous of the two of them's position at that time, so she stabbed the matter to several guests who admired Pei Yu and her.As a result, when the two were performing on stage, those people not only poured boiling water, but also rushed up with knives to kill.

Fortunately, because the two are pillars, there are too many people who protect them. In the end, they only left such scars, but because of this, they can no longer be on the stage.Acting is their only livelihood skill, and they don't know who has stolen most of the money they have saved over the years. In order not to do nothing, one went back to the Qinglou to work as a handyman, and the other embroidered handkerchiefs at home to exchange money.

It was like this for several months.
