Nangong Xing smiled slightly, raised the wine glass in front of him and took a sip, and said leisurely: Brother Bai, what are you talking about? Who are you talking about here?
Bai Ruoyun looked at the boat again angrily, but the breeze had passed and the gauze had fallen. Wherever he saw, there was only a blurry figure left.
He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, raised his hand and grabbed Bai Ruolan who was about to have an attack, and tried not to disturb other guests and said: Brother Nangong, there must be no such a similar person in this world. If I were the only one, I might suspect that it was because of my longing that I recognized the wrong person, but my sister clearly recognized it just now. The person sitting in the boat must be my previous fiancée, Li Xiuer
Nangong Xing's smile suddenly became a little strange. Even the curve of the corners of his lips had not changed, but it suddenly turned into a mask, but he still said leisurely: Brother Bai is just talking and joking. We are taking the risk down the mountain this time to find your fiancée, Sun Xiuyi's name is a total of three words, why did you just say the word "Show" right?
Bai Ruoyun frowned, made a gesture to silence her sister, calmed her mind, and pondered the voice of Nangong Xingxin: Brother Nangong, you don’t have to ridicule me. I have a clear conscience in my situation. Maybe there is any misunderstanding in this. I originally planned to find her and explain it later... But I really didn’t expect that she would be in such a place. Brother Nangong. Please give me some advice for my sister’s sake.
Seeing that his attitude was soft and he was completely different from his nature, Nangong Xing finally had a smile in his eyes and said: I don’t know what Li Xiuer, I only know that there was Miss Ningzhu on the boat. Miss Ningzhu, you should ask her.
Bai Ruoyun heard this and clenched his fists and was about to stand up. At this time, Nangong Xing said from the side: Brother Bai, you like to move your fists and feet. There are also girls who are willing to do anything for money in Huayueyuan, but the rest of Qianjin Building is not a place to let people go wild.
He glanced at Bai Ruoyun Zombie's movement halfway and said: Hua Niang is also divided into levels. The most famous beauties on the list outside have dedicated people to guard them. Maybe Brother Bai's kung fu is better than them, but two fists are hard to beat four hands. Besides, you don't want to make trouble in the brothel and go to the government's red notice, right?
Bai Ruoyun's cheeks twitched slightly, but she stood up and said: I must meet her, even if I was really wanted by the government for this, I am willing to do so.
Nangong Xing said lightly: How many words can you say when you see her like this? Why not bid for it later and enter the room to listen to the song alone, so that no one will disturb you until Miss Ningzhu rests. You have time to express your admiration to her.
Bai Ruoyun was stunned, then touched her arms and glanced at her left and right. Most of the other guests were arrogant, afraid that they would not even move their eyebrows. They felt tightened in their hearts and couldn't help but blush slightly.
Knowing that he couldn't say anything about being short of money, Nangong Xing patted his shoulder and said with a smile: Brother Bai, don't panic, I'm also very interested in this Ningzhu girl. Since that's the same thing, I won, isn't it just you who won.
Bai Ruoyun gritted her teeth and sat back to her original place and said: Then... I'm sorry, Brother Nangong
Then he knew that Nangong Xing shook his head and said: If I win, you will win. Then the same thing, if you win, I will win. You want to talk to the girl Ningzhu. Of course, the bidding should be you. As long as you remember, no matter what price you quote, I will be willing to pay for you.
Bai Ruoyun was stunned, and then he subconsciously looked back at Bai Ruolan
Bai Ruolan's face turned red by her brother's eyes, and she couldn't help but mutter: He...he is willing to help you, see what I do? Even though she said that, she still looked at Nangong Xing with great gratitude, and forgot that the strangest thing in this matter was him.
Tang Xin watched this and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed secretly twice.
The song was already finished, and the boat slowly sailed to a nearby stone staircase by the water. The maid helped Ningzhu off the boat. After standing still, she raised a palace lantern and illuminated Ningzhu from head to toe, so that the guests at the water pavilion could see the appearance of Hua Niang, and followed the two into the corridor, quickly turned into a bead curtain, and slowly sat down.
The maid lifts the curtain and walks out of the station and says aloud: Dear guests, Miss Ningzhu will not hold a big banquet tonight, but will only entertain soulmates in the room. The boudoir is simple. If there are more than six people, it will be difficult to accommodate your extraordinary demeanor. Please go back with too many distinguished guests earlier and choose the Huaniang who is the same number. You can report the gift list later.
Bai Ruoyun also had a little understanding of the Fugui Building near Mujian Pavilion. Of course, he knew a little about the price there. He roughly compared the scales between the two sides, gritted his teeth, and prepared to quote a high price of fifty taels of silver.
The price is indeed not low. The salary of officials in Tianbi Dynasty is quite high. The county magistrate is above the sixth rank, and the annual salary is only about here. If a clean official does not eat or drink for a year, he must pawn the rice to exceed the price.
Unfortunately, this is Qianjin Building
Although it is not necessary to ask people to take out a thousand taels of gold every time, it will not allow people to buy a fifty taels of silver for a flower list. The flower girl who almost ranked in the top ten in one night.
Not to mention that Ningzhu is a newcomer who has appeared for the first time
Songzhuyuan sells art but not self-employed, so it has always been the first choice for wealthy families who are lustful and lustful to choose concubines. There are many people who are satisfied with redeeming their own concubines when they meet the first time.
Bai Ruoyun just spoke, and hesitated and said a word five. There was a middle-aged man with a rich face in the opposite column and said aloud: There are 100 taels of silver, a pair of dragon and phoenix jade bracelets, a mere slight gift is not respectable, I hope Miss Ningzhu will accept it with a smile
Before he finished speaking, another voice said here: Three hundred taels of silver are available, a pair of pearl earrings, please accept it with a smile.
The two voices were connected without any gap, so most people didn't hear the low scream of Ningzhu behind the bead curtain.
Of course Bai Ruoyun could hear it clearly. After taking a look, he estimated that the limit could be achieved without the help of Nangong Xing, and gritted his teeth and said: Three hundred and fifty taels!
The man's pearl earrings were not necessarily more expensive than fifty taels. After he finished his reply, a low laughter suddenly rang around him.
Nangong Xing shook his head with a wry smile and continued aloud: My friend is a little nervous when he first arrived. He hasn't finished reporting yet. He will add two raindrops of the official slim beads.
One thousand five hundred taels of the Three Treasures of Daxing, from the south of Longjiang, a rather lazy voice said slowly, Nangong Xing looked along, it was the flashy young man Tang Xin had recognized before, Tang Xuan
With his outfit, he really looks like a person who spends a lot of money.
This is the price that can redeem the beauties of ordinary brothels. In smaller places, perhaps even the courtesans can take them away.
It was just that it took less than two hours to enjoy the song, and it was obvious that the majority of those who thought it was not worth the price. As soon as Tang Xuan finished speaking, many guests in the two columns stood up and retreated one after another.
In a blink of an eye, only Nangong Xing and four of them were left, Tang Xuan and the last man who came in from another row.
Tang Xuan saw that Bai Ruoyun's face turned pale and smiled: Is this brother still going to continue fighting with me?
Bai Ruoyun had not responded yet, but the other man started speaking: The golden dragon ticket from Langhun Money House, 1,500 taels, and one tael of cash in cash
Nangong Xing frowned, looked at the man with his eyes just staring at Tang Xuan, and then asked in a low voice: Who is that man? Is your cousin's opponent?
Tang Xin looked at him sideways and carefully. The person's face was extremely ordinary, even ordinary, and it seemed that no matter what kind of people he threw them into, it would disappear quickly, which was difficult to notice.
This is really a talent that countless killers dream of
Tang Xuan stared at the man and said loudly: One thousand six hundred taels
One thousand six hundred and one taels The man followed slowly, and even showed a hint of smug smile on his lips
Tang Xuan frowned and then smiled: One thousand seven hundred taels of Yang Tan, it would be a bit too despicable for you to keep increasing the price like this?
Is it him? Tang Xin was stunned and whispered, this man has only become famous in the world recently, becoming famous in Yizhou, and occasionally walking around Shuzhou. He gave himself a nickname, "You will win every bet."
Nangong Xing tsk and laughed: This guy is a bit boasting, and the gambler won't always have that good luck.
Tang Xin shook her head and said quickly: The winning man in this man's nickname does not mean that he will definitely win, but that he will definitely win. If he loses a bet, he will do everything possible to continue betting with the man. He will not stop until he wins completely. The dream-seeking prodigal son Xing Kong, you met in Luyang last time, is said to have formed a bond with him for this.
While the two of them were talking, Yang Tan smiled and pushed Tang Xuan's price to 2,000 taels. He still didn't give up, but said with a smile: 2,001 taels
Tang Xuan raised the wine glass in front of him and smiled bitterly: Yang TanAh Yang Tan, you have bet on me for a total of 500 taels this time. If I give up and admit defeat, wouldn’t you still have to thank 1,501 taels here?
Yang Tan's eyes rolled and said: What I bet is that you can't grab any girl in this Qianjin Building tonight. As long as you can win you, I'll be happy. Do you care how much money I lose and I can make money. Do you think the bet is so easy to win?
Tang Xuan took a sip of wine, smashed the wine glass on the table, and said aloud: OK, I will give you five thousand taels!
Yang Tan's face turned a little pale. Obviously, this amount was indeed not small for him, but he slapped the table without hesitation and said: 5,01 taels!
Nangong Xing glanced at Bai Ruoyun who had been silent beside him. He knew that he would never owe him such a big favor and would rather not bid anymore. He had to change his mind, and drank a glass of wine in one sip, laughing out loud.
The laughter was extremely ridiculous. The two of them, who were in high spirits, couldn't help but watch it together. Tang Xuan held back and didn't speak, but Yang Tan said coldly: Why are you laughing at? You don't even offer a quote when you sit here. Are you watching a miscellaneous show?
Nangong Xing laughed twice again before saying: Is the kind of thing you do with him also called a bet? His expenses and your price increase are obviously fighting for wealth. If you really plan to bet, you will show some bets.
Oh? Yang Tan stared at Nangong Xingdao obliquely. This brother said, why do you think you are gambled?
Nangong Xing smiled and said: Since the development of the two gambling games has depended on whom the girl Ningzhu’s boudoir has opened its doors for, it is better to get the pen and ink. You all wrote your quotation on paper and attached some sweet words to Miss Ningzhu. After that, the girl Ningzhu personally selected the guests to be welcomed, and the rest of the people were willing to accept the loss. How about it?
Yang Tan glared at his eyes and said: Tang Xuan looks better than me, wouldn’t he be innate to take advantage?
Nangong Xingyouran said: Brother Yang, this is Qianjin Tower. Even if Pan An reborn, the money he should give cannot be lost, right? Or, are you not confident that you can guess a number that has been steadily over Tang Xuan?
Tang Xuan also laughed and said: Since that's the case, we might as well withdraw our previous offer and have come back. Just follow this brother's rules. You might as well guess how much money I'm willing to invest in the victory or defeat of 500 taels of silver. Just say 5,000 taels. Actually, I regret it so much that I almost can't even have enough money to leave.
Yang Tan's face changed a few times, hesitated for a moment and said: OK! Ask someone to pick up paper and pen!
The maid went into the curtain and discussed with Ningzhu for a few words. After getting the approval, she hurriedly left the water pavilion and went to get the four treasures of the study.
Tang Xuan glanced at Nangong Xing, as if he was thinking of something, and smiled and said: I forgot to ask, do you also want to participate in the gambling method mentioned by this brother?
Nangong Xing smiled and said: Of course, isn’t it more interesting to add some inconspicuous variables to you two?
He took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and placed them on the table, took out a few gold leaves and placed them on it, then sprinkled a handful of pearls next to him, and said lightly: Besides, if we just fight for wealth, it is too boring to win and too wasteful. It is better to gamble with our own skills, which is good for everyone, right?
Tang Xuan and Yang Tan are both experts with excellent eyesight. Just looking at the pearls scattered on the table by Nangong Xing, the worst-looking one is the grade of Guan Yuzhu. Those who rolled over the table clearly had countless silver. They looked trembling, and they all reconsidered the amount they wanted to write.
Bai Ruoyun just now just looked at the pearl curtain. The maid took the paper and pen and placed it in front of him. He was shocked. He leaned towards Nangong Xing as if he had woken up from his dream and whispered: This... how should I write it? Tang Xuan just shouted five thousand taels of Ah
Nangong Xing patted his shoulder and smiled and said: Brother Bai, since you have been an old friend with Ningzhu, you must know her better than everyone present. What should I write? Why do you still need an outsider, as an outsider to help you make an idea?
Bai Ruoyun was stunned, then turned her head and looked at the bead curtain blankly, holding a brush in her hand, but she didn't write a word
Tang Xuan waved his face with a smile and gently blew the ink traces. He still had the time to fold it into two leaves of paper and handed it to the maid.
Yang Tan frowned and thought about it. He first picked up the pen and wrote a few sentences, then kneaded the paper into a ball and threw it into the lake. He asked for another piece, thought about it carefully, slowly wrote it, folded it in half, and handed it to the maid.
When Bai Ruoyun reached this point, she sighed deeply, lowered her head and wrote a line quickly, and gave it casually
The maid walked behind the bead curtain with three pieces of paper and handed it to Ningzhu
Tang Xuan stretched out her finger and gently flicked the edge of the wine glass, and said with a smile: Brother Yang, your face doesn't look good.
Yang Tan's lips twitched slightly and said with a forced smile: This gambling method allows you to take advantage of the situation. The girl in Songzhuyuan does not value the money so much than the other three yards. The price I paid must be able to smooth your face to lose, even if I lose, I will not accept it.
Tang Xuan smiled and said: No matter how I beat you, you will never accept it. In order not to get entangled, I will let you win back next time
Yang Tan glanced at Bai Ruoyun who was unscrupulous and snorted: Don't be too proud, don't forget that there is an opponent here, this brother, but he is also a handsome talent. His friends around him seem to be more generous than you.
Although my friend has the right to be rich, this brother is quite arrogant. He doesn't seem to be a person who will rely on his friends all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said a word for a long time, letting us push the price to a higher price. Tang Xuan looked at the six directions and could see clearly. Yang Tan's eyes were extraordinary, so he could naturally see that when he said this, his face turned a little pale a little.
After a moment of quiet behind the pearl curtain, a sudden sound of sobs that seemed to be suppressed but failed. After Ningzhu stood up, he hurried into the corridor on the other side.
Tang Xuan's expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to get up, the maid walked out from behind the curtain. She looked at Nangong Xing and the four of them in confusion, and then said aloud: Who is Mr. Bai Ruoyun and Bai?
Bai Ruoyun stood up in response, even his voice trembled slightly, and said: It's me!
The maid frowned, as if she was reluctant, but she still said: Congratulations, young master, please come here for the four of you
Nangong Xing swept away the property on the table, urging the three of them to walk into the corridor where Ningzhu walked into. He landed at the end, glanced at Tang Xuan, and smiled: Brother Tang, it is better not to be so confident in everything in the future.
Tang Xuan's expression calmed down in an instant, and she smiled and said: It's true that even Xinmei was mixed up with a group of people dressed in a man. She actually brought the girl to such places with real swords and guns to pay a lot of money to gain knowledge. She was still willing to spend a lot of money, and she felt ashamed of herself.
Nangong Xing smiled and said: Brother Tang seems to be not proficient in Fengyueyi. It is because he brought the girl here to gain knowledge that he has to spend a lot of money, otherwise how could he show the heroic spirit of a good man.
Tang Xuan heard that he was joking, so he turned around and said: You have won all the money. Can you let me know how much you have paid? I immediately wrote a love poem and brought out three thousand taels of silver.
Yang Tan won the bet and was in a good mood. He also laughed and said: Tsk, you actually gave less money. I lost my life and wrote 6,500 taels. I really want to win. My mother even had to take off her pants. Brother, how much did you pay? 7,000? Or 10,000? If it was this price, you might as well go to the madam to discuss and give more money to redeem this Ningzhu.
Nangong Xingshen smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: I am afraid you don’t believe it when you say it. Sometimes, as long as you say it accurately, for women, it can be worth tens of taels of gold tonight, and we only need to spend a few dozen taels of wine tonight.
The two of them left dumbfounded, Nangong Xing was in a great mood, and walked into the corridor with a laugh.
Walking to the small tree of Linhu where Ningzhu is. Sure enough, Bai Ruolan and Tang Xin stayed outside the door and did not follow in. The maid with her was obviously sent out by Ningzhu. She stood anxiously outside the door and listened carefully to the movement in the door.
Why? Don’t you go in and listen to the little song? Ningzhu’s voice is really good. In time, it’s not surprising that he is in the top ten of the flower list. It will be difficult to listen to the previous song. Nangong Xing stood outside the door and said jokingly
Bai Ruolan glanced at him in anger, but there was a stranger next to her, so she couldn't have an attack, so she had to pretend to be a man and whisper in a low voice: Why did she enter a place like Qianjinlou? I have to ask you for an explanation sooner or later! You knew it a long time ago, why didn't you say it earlier?
Nangong Xing said lightly: You went down the mountain to find Sun Xiuyi, not to find her. I said rashly, wouldn't it be messing up your itinerary
After all, this is the Bai family's family business. Tang Xin couldn't interrupt, so she had to look around bored and looked around.
Nangong Xing glanced at the maid, took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into her hand, and said softly: "Little sister, don't stay here all the time, why not find a place to rest for a while, come back after an hour, it's nothing."
The maid hurriedly pushed back the money and said with caution: How can this be done? I have to serve Miss Ningzhu, and I must also beware of someone who has ulterior motives and plans.
Nangong Xing still stuffed the silver back and said: Hey, you are a weak woman. What's the matter? Can you fight against the three of us? Xiao Zhu has guards outside. You can't hide it from the truth. This young master Bai and you, Miss Ningzhu, were old friends, and there must be some private words to say inside. After you listen, you know too much.
The maid's expression changed slightly. In such a place, it would never be a good thing to know too much. She hesitated, took the silver and stuffed it into her sleeve bag, and whispered: Since you don't go in... just go somewhere else to rest. I'll serve you tea.
Nangong Xing smiled and said: OK, please help me lead the way and find a quieter place to avoid being disturbed.
Bai Ruolan seemed reluctant to leave, so Tang Xin had to come forward and lean into her ear and whisper something. Then she followed her reluctantly.
Leave my brother and Ningzhu there together
Everyone outside the door had already walked away, but Xiaozhu was still quiet so he could only hear the breath of the two of them.
Bai Ruoyun tried his best to maintain the smoothness of his breath, and as soon as he entered the door, he hid in the beads behind the curtain, and the sound of sobs was still faintly mixed with the sound of sobs in his breath.
What he wanted to ask the most was why she was here, but for some reason, she felt a little abrupt when she asked this question. She was confused for a moment and didn't know what to say.
After a while, Ningzhu finally passed away and asked in a low voice: Mr. Bai, what song do you want to listen to? I will play and sing for you now.
Bai Ruoyun was anxious and said: You, you know I was not here to do this kind of thing!
Ningzhu said: This is strange. If you don’t do such a thing, why are you doing in Qianjinlou? Could it be that Fuguilou will not do your Bai family’s business, which will cause you to come here to find someone to save your madman?
It was Xiu'er who Brother Nangong insisted on bringing me. It was indeed you, me... Bai Ruoyun's heart was turbulent when she heard her own identity. She flashed with a trace of water in her eyes.
Ningzhu immediately interrupted: Don't mention that name again, Li Xiu'er is dead. Now only Ningzhu is here, just a singing girl who has to devote herself to brothels to make a living.
Bai Ruoyun's words were choked into his stomach, which made his chest feel bored. He took two steps towards Ningzhu and said sadly: Xiu'er, no matter what... you and I have a vow of old age. There are only some misunderstandings among them. They are afraid that you will disrupt the marriage with Emei. They just want to protect you for a while, not to have any ill intentions towards you.
No malice? Ningzhu's tone suddenly rose, as if it was a mother beast that touched the pain. He just didn't want to alarm others, so he tried his best to suppress the volume. If there was no malice, why did it make me lose my child? If there was no malice, I ran away at night and didn't see the person I found, why did the killer come instead? If there was no malice, who would have invited the famous Seven Star Gate to chase me a weak woman without any power!
You, what did you say? Bai Ruoyun's face turned pale, her knees were bent and she sat on the chair beside her. Why haven't I heard of this...?
You are the groom, Ah, I am a hamper, a abandoned woman like me, who is life or death, how could anyone come and tell you that! The crying in Ningzhu's painting is already hard to suppress, just like the grievances I suffered before, all of them came out of my heart. If I hadn't been blessed and had met some good people, such as Li Xiuer and Ningzhu, would have become a few bones in the mud nest!
The news I heard was too unexpected. Bai Ruoyun held the handrail tightly with both hands, gasped violently for a few breaths before calming down, and said: Xiu... Miss Ningzhu, this is too far from what I heard. There must be some hidden information. Please... believe me again, tell me, what happened after we separated?
Ningzhu walked out of the curtain, her face was covered in darkness, with only two lines of clear tears hanging on her. She stood there firmly, looking at Bai Ruoyun and said: You might as well talk about it first, what is the situation you heard?
Bai Ruoyun carefully recalled what he heard at the Bai family and said: They said that they were discussing aborting the fetus in your belly and heard it. You sneaked away at night and accidentally rolled down the hillside. After saving you, the child was gone. You suffered a lot of damage and refused to speak. That night, he disappeared and only took away the beads I gave... Isn't that actually that?
Ningzhu stared at his eyes and said with tears in her eyes: I was so sad that I couldn't fall asleep that night. When I got up and walked past the porch, I heard your Zhu brother scolding me in the room with a bitch. I couldn't help but listen for a while, and then I realized that he not only wanted to take away my child, but also wanted to take this opportunity to kill my life, because I was just a lowly laundry woman, not worthy of your future young master. Your second uncle persuaded you for a while, but the more I heard it, the more I became more and more scared. In the end, I just wanted to find a secret place to secretly give birth to the child and go to find you.
But I suddenly rained heavily that night. I ran away and rolled down the hillside with my foot in the air. When I woke up... the child... the child could not save me. The one who rescued me was your brother Song. I didn't think he looked like a bad person, so I hid in the house and rested as he said. In the evening, your second uncle rushed over and told Song that your brother Zhu had prevented the future troubles. He took a few confidant junior brothers to find my whereabouts, so he told Song that he would find me before them. You Song would not lie. He told your second uncle immediately. He came in and saw my injuries. He left without saying anything. I couldn't sleep that night. He always felt that the danger was getting closer and closer. He couldn't help but get up and put on his clothes and wanted to talk to your brother Song. But in the end... I happened to find someone secretly in the yard outside the window. I was in a hurry and didn't care about packing my luggage. I just grabbed a pearl flower and flipped out of the window.
After that, I ran for seven days, and there was someone chasing me behind me, which made me dare not sleep for a long time. In the end... I was caught up by those people. They claimed to be the killer of the Seven Star Gate, and used money to do things and told me to be a ghost. I asked them who wanted to kill me. They refused to say that, but they just took the sword and walked towards me, getting closer and closer... getting closer and closer...
Looking at Ningzhu's face with deep and deep fear appeared on her face because of memories, Bai Ruoyun's heart was astrayed and said tragically: Is it...who saved you?
Ningzhu looked down at him, and was silent for a while before saying word by word: It's Ruyi Tower
What? Bai Ruoyun was shocked and stood up suddenly and said, "It's really them?" Why did they happen to save you?"
They saw that I was so dirty that I was very pitiful. They were here to give me some food and money, but they happened to meet a killer who was acting like a murderer. They... They sacrificed two of them to save me. Ningzhu raised his hand and wiped his tears and said, After that, there was no Li Xiuer in this world, only Ningzhu
Bai Ruoyun was in chaos and couldn't help asking: You...have you really entrusted Ruyilou to come to the Bai family to take revenge?
Ningzhu was stunned, and then, an angry look quickly rose in her eyes, as if she had suffered some insult. She took two steps back and said coldly: If I asked them to take revenge, do you still have the life to sit here? Do you know, who I hate the most when I was lying on the bed with my stomach in my arms and crying? I ran away like a wild dog, and who I hated the most when I was fleeing from a bucket of food? Who did I hate the most when I was pointed at by four swords?
Then...you...
I entrusted Ruyilou. Ningzhu took a deep breath and tried her best to restrain her passion. She said, "And she also entrusted more than one thing to me for the price they asked me for. I could afford it no matter what. When the matter was over, I handed it over to them. From then on, both of them will not owe each other."
What you entrust is...
What I won't tell you... has nothing to do with you. Ningzhu's expression became colder. She walked back to the curtain and said, "If you listen to the song, you can click it now." Otherwise, please go back to my slave... I'm very tired.
Bai Ruoyun frowned, the silt in his heart was so sad that he could not vent his feelings. He had no idea about countless doubts. His beloved was close at hand, but it seemed like an invisible wall was separated by an invisible wall, and he could not find a passage to enter.
Xiu'er... No, Miss Ningzhu, it's me... I'm sorry for you. I said I will protect you well. I didn't do it. The wrong one... It's me, I... I won't leave now... I'll disturb you again. I left intermittent sentences in a daze. Bai Ruoyun opened the door and moved out like a walking corpse.
The singing and dancing outside the corridor is still joyful and festive, the night wind is still full of the fragrance of aged wine, and the seductive smell of powder is filled with the flowing breath. Except for him, it seems that everyone in the world is enjoying the joy brought by life.
He closed the door behind him and walked back to the corridor
At the end of the corridor, there seems to be only endless darkness
Turning the first corner, he saw Nangong Xing
I thought you all left first...Where is Lan'er and Miss Tang? Bai Ruoyun forced a smile and asked
Nangong Xing said: They are having tea with Tang Xuan. I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with it. Come and wait and see
Bai Ruoyun said slowly: It's just... I just listen to the music, what can I do not deal with?
Nangong Xing smiled and said straightforwardly: It seems that you haven't made up yet...
Bai Ruoyun was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying: It seems that it is a waste of effort to pretend to be in front of you. She just hated me and me... Where did you get the opportunity to make peace with her
Nangong Xing patted his shoulder and suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard something funny.
Bai Ruoyun was a little embarrassed and annoyed by laughing, and couldn't help but say: Why are you laughing at?
Nangong Xing pressed his shoulder with both hands and said solemnly: I ask you, what price did the note you just wrote?
Bai Ruoyun hesitated for a moment and lowered her head and said: I only wrote one sentence, "I miss you very much and worry about you very much. I have a lot to say to you."
Nangong Xing immediately said: So she hated you so much that she didn't even want to spend a few thousand taels of silver, just to ask you to go in and scold you, right?
Seeing Bai Ruoyun looking at her enlightened appearance, Nangong Xing said again: There are many times when women say one thing, but what they think is another thing. If you think of anything you hear in front of a woman, then you can only be a fool in your life.
You...you mean...
All I know is that a woman who hates you so much that she grits her teeth will not drive the maid out first as soon as she enters the house. After Nangong Xing said that, he smiled and leaned close to Bai Ruoyun's ear, and muttered a few words in a low voice.
Bai Ruoyun was shocked and said: How did this happen?
Nangong Xing just smiled and said: If you go back and see the situation, you will naturally know whether it is successful or not. You just need to turn around and go back. The next moment, the guards will all drink with me.
Bai Ruoyun looked at him hesitantly, and his expression became obviously moved.
Let's go, we still have a lot of trouble waiting to be solved. I don't have time to sell you for ten days and half a month in Qianjin Building. If you still want this wife, listen to me. Nangong Xing picked up his elbow and urged him. Or if you say it clearly, you will never come to Ningzhu again. Ningzhu will be redeemed as a concubine or bought as a slave or a servant, it has nothing to do with you. Then let's go back now and never climb the door of Qianjin Building.
No, Bai Ruoyun finally calmed down. He patted Nangong Xing's back of his hand gratefully and said, I'll go back now
He turned around, walked back to Ningzhu's small gate, took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and rushed in
Ningzhu obviously didn't expect Bai Ruoyun to come back. She looked back at the door in panic, and even forgot to put down the things in her hand.
She sat next to the table, with a box of makeup boxes open on the table, and the things in them were neat and only missing were she held in her hand and pinched them tightly.
Bai Ruoyun recognized it at a glance, that was the bead he had worn for her with his own hands.
Bai Ruoyun looked at the boat again angrily, but the breeze had passed and the gauze had fallen. Wherever he saw, there was only a blurry figure left.
He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, raised his hand and grabbed Bai Ruolan who was about to have an attack, and tried not to disturb other guests and said: Brother Nangong, there must be no such a similar person in this world. If I were the only one, I might suspect that it was because of my longing that I recognized the wrong person, but my sister clearly recognized it just now. The person sitting in the boat must be my previous fiancée, Li Xiuer
Nangong Xing's smile suddenly became a little strange. Even the curve of the corners of his lips had not changed, but it suddenly turned into a mask, but he still said leisurely: Brother Bai is just talking and joking. We are taking the risk down the mountain this time to find your fiancée, Sun Xiuyi's name is a total of three words, why did you just say the word "Show" right?
Bai Ruoyun frowned, made a gesture to silence her sister, calmed her mind, and pondered the voice of Nangong Xingxin: Brother Nangong, you don’t have to ridicule me. I have a clear conscience in my situation. Maybe there is any misunderstanding in this. I originally planned to find her and explain it later... But I really didn’t expect that she would be in such a place. Brother Nangong. Please give me some advice for my sister’s sake.
Seeing that his attitude was soft and he was completely different from his nature, Nangong Xing finally had a smile in his eyes and said: I don’t know what Li Xiuer, I only know that there was Miss Ningzhu on the boat. Miss Ningzhu, you should ask her.
Bai Ruoyun heard this and clenched his fists and was about to stand up. At this time, Nangong Xing said from the side: Brother Bai, you like to move your fists and feet. There are also girls who are willing to do anything for money in Huayueyuan, but the rest of Qianjin Building is not a place to let people go wild.
He glanced at Bai Ruoyun Zombie's movement halfway and said: Hua Niang is also divided into levels. The most famous beauties on the list outside have dedicated people to guard them. Maybe Brother Bai's kung fu is better than them, but two fists are hard to beat four hands. Besides, you don't want to make trouble in the brothel and go to the government's red notice, right?
Bai Ruoyun's cheeks twitched slightly, but she stood up and said: I must meet her, even if I was really wanted by the government for this, I am willing to do so.
Nangong Xing said lightly: How many words can you say when you see her like this? Why not bid for it later and enter the room to listen to the song alone, so that no one will disturb you until Miss Ningzhu rests. You have time to express your admiration to her.
Bai Ruoyun was stunned, then touched her arms and glanced at her left and right. Most of the other guests were arrogant, afraid that they would not even move their eyebrows. They felt tightened in their hearts and couldn't help but blush slightly.
Knowing that he couldn't say anything about being short of money, Nangong Xing patted his shoulder and said with a smile: Brother Bai, don't panic, I'm also very interested in this Ningzhu girl. Since that's the same thing, I won, isn't it just you who won.
Bai Ruoyun gritted her teeth and sat back to her original place and said: Then... I'm sorry, Brother Nangong
Then he knew that Nangong Xing shook his head and said: If I win, you will win. Then the same thing, if you win, I will win. You want to talk to the girl Ningzhu. Of course, the bidding should be you. As long as you remember, no matter what price you quote, I will be willing to pay for you.
Bai Ruoyun was stunned, and then he subconsciously looked back at Bai Ruolan
Bai Ruolan's face turned red by her brother's eyes, and she couldn't help but mutter: He...he is willing to help you, see what I do? Even though she said that, she still looked at Nangong Xing with great gratitude, and forgot that the strangest thing in this matter was him.
Tang Xin watched this and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed secretly twice.
The song was already finished, and the boat slowly sailed to a nearby stone staircase by the water. The maid helped Ningzhu off the boat. After standing still, she raised a palace lantern and illuminated Ningzhu from head to toe, so that the guests at the water pavilion could see the appearance of Hua Niang, and followed the two into the corridor, quickly turned into a bead curtain, and slowly sat down.
The maid lifts the curtain and walks out of the station and says aloud: Dear guests, Miss Ningzhu will not hold a big banquet tonight, but will only entertain soulmates in the room. The boudoir is simple. If there are more than six people, it will be difficult to accommodate your extraordinary demeanor. Please go back with too many distinguished guests earlier and choose the Huaniang who is the same number. You can report the gift list later.
Bai Ruoyun also had a little understanding of the Fugui Building near Mujian Pavilion. Of course, he knew a little about the price there. He roughly compared the scales between the two sides, gritted his teeth, and prepared to quote a high price of fifty taels of silver.
The price is indeed not low. The salary of officials in Tianbi Dynasty is quite high. The county magistrate is above the sixth rank, and the annual salary is only about here. If a clean official does not eat or drink for a year, he must pawn the rice to exceed the price.
Unfortunately, this is Qianjin Building
Although it is not necessary to ask people to take out a thousand taels of gold every time, it will not allow people to buy a fifty taels of silver for a flower list. The flower girl who almost ranked in the top ten in one night.
Not to mention that Ningzhu is a newcomer who has appeared for the first time
Songzhuyuan sells art but not self-employed, so it has always been the first choice for wealthy families who are lustful and lustful to choose concubines. There are many people who are satisfied with redeeming their own concubines when they meet the first time.
Bai Ruoyun just spoke, and hesitated and said a word five. There was a middle-aged man with a rich face in the opposite column and said aloud: There are 100 taels of silver, a pair of dragon and phoenix jade bracelets, a mere slight gift is not respectable, I hope Miss Ningzhu will accept it with a smile
Before he finished speaking, another voice said here: Three hundred taels of silver are available, a pair of pearl earrings, please accept it with a smile.
The two voices were connected without any gap, so most people didn't hear the low scream of Ningzhu behind the bead curtain.
Of course Bai Ruoyun could hear it clearly. After taking a look, he estimated that the limit could be achieved without the help of Nangong Xing, and gritted his teeth and said: Three hundred and fifty taels!
The man's pearl earrings were not necessarily more expensive than fifty taels. After he finished his reply, a low laughter suddenly rang around him.
Nangong Xing shook his head with a wry smile and continued aloud: My friend is a little nervous when he first arrived. He hasn't finished reporting yet. He will add two raindrops of the official slim beads.
One thousand five hundred taels of the Three Treasures of Daxing, from the south of Longjiang, a rather lazy voice said slowly, Nangong Xing looked along, it was the flashy young man Tang Xin had recognized before, Tang Xuan
With his outfit, he really looks like a person who spends a lot of money.
This is the price that can redeem the beauties of ordinary brothels. In smaller places, perhaps even the courtesans can take them away.
It was just that it took less than two hours to enjoy the song, and it was obvious that the majority of those who thought it was not worth the price. As soon as Tang Xuan finished speaking, many guests in the two columns stood up and retreated one after another.
In a blink of an eye, only Nangong Xing and four of them were left, Tang Xuan and the last man who came in from another row.
Tang Xuan saw that Bai Ruoyun's face turned pale and smiled: Is this brother still going to continue fighting with me?
Bai Ruoyun had not responded yet, but the other man started speaking: The golden dragon ticket from Langhun Money House, 1,500 taels, and one tael of cash in cash
Nangong Xing frowned, looked at the man with his eyes just staring at Tang Xuan, and then asked in a low voice: Who is that man? Is your cousin's opponent?
Tang Xin looked at him sideways and carefully. The person's face was extremely ordinary, even ordinary, and it seemed that no matter what kind of people he threw them into, it would disappear quickly, which was difficult to notice.
This is really a talent that countless killers dream of
Tang Xuan stared at the man and said loudly: One thousand six hundred taels
One thousand six hundred and one taels The man followed slowly, and even showed a hint of smug smile on his lips
Tang Xuan frowned and then smiled: One thousand seven hundred taels of Yang Tan, it would be a bit too despicable for you to keep increasing the price like this?
Is it him? Tang Xin was stunned and whispered, this man has only become famous in the world recently, becoming famous in Yizhou, and occasionally walking around Shuzhou. He gave himself a nickname, "You will win every bet."
Nangong Xing tsk and laughed: This guy is a bit boasting, and the gambler won't always have that good luck.
Tang Xin shook her head and said quickly: The winning man in this man's nickname does not mean that he will definitely win, but that he will definitely win. If he loses a bet, he will do everything possible to continue betting with the man. He will not stop until he wins completely. The dream-seeking prodigal son Xing Kong, you met in Luyang last time, is said to have formed a bond with him for this.
While the two of them were talking, Yang Tan smiled and pushed Tang Xuan's price to 2,000 taels. He still didn't give up, but said with a smile: 2,001 taels
Tang Xuan raised the wine glass in front of him and smiled bitterly: Yang TanAh Yang Tan, you have bet on me for a total of 500 taels this time. If I give up and admit defeat, wouldn’t you still have to thank 1,501 taels here?
Yang Tan's eyes rolled and said: What I bet is that you can't grab any girl in this Qianjin Building tonight. As long as you can win you, I'll be happy. Do you care how much money I lose and I can make money. Do you think the bet is so easy to win?
Tang Xuan took a sip of wine, smashed the wine glass on the table, and said aloud: OK, I will give you five thousand taels!
Yang Tan's face turned a little pale. Obviously, this amount was indeed not small for him, but he slapped the table without hesitation and said: 5,01 taels!
Nangong Xing glanced at Bai Ruoyun who had been silent beside him. He knew that he would never owe him such a big favor and would rather not bid anymore. He had to change his mind, and drank a glass of wine in one sip, laughing out loud.
The laughter was extremely ridiculous. The two of them, who were in high spirits, couldn't help but watch it together. Tang Xuan held back and didn't speak, but Yang Tan said coldly: Why are you laughing at? You don't even offer a quote when you sit here. Are you watching a miscellaneous show?
Nangong Xing laughed twice again before saying: Is the kind of thing you do with him also called a bet? His expenses and your price increase are obviously fighting for wealth. If you really plan to bet, you will show some bets.
Oh? Yang Tan stared at Nangong Xingdao obliquely. This brother said, why do you think you are gambled?
Nangong Xing smiled and said: Since the development of the two gambling games has depended on whom the girl Ningzhu’s boudoir has opened its doors for, it is better to get the pen and ink. You all wrote your quotation on paper and attached some sweet words to Miss Ningzhu. After that, the girl Ningzhu personally selected the guests to be welcomed, and the rest of the people were willing to accept the loss. How about it?
Yang Tan glared at his eyes and said: Tang Xuan looks better than me, wouldn’t he be innate to take advantage?
Nangong Xingyouran said: Brother Yang, this is Qianjin Tower. Even if Pan An reborn, the money he should give cannot be lost, right? Or, are you not confident that you can guess a number that has been steadily over Tang Xuan?
Tang Xuan also laughed and said: Since that's the case, we might as well withdraw our previous offer and have come back. Just follow this brother's rules. You might as well guess how much money I'm willing to invest in the victory or defeat of 500 taels of silver. Just say 5,000 taels. Actually, I regret it so much that I almost can't even have enough money to leave.
Yang Tan's face changed a few times, hesitated for a moment and said: OK! Ask someone to pick up paper and pen!
The maid went into the curtain and discussed with Ningzhu for a few words. After getting the approval, she hurriedly left the water pavilion and went to get the four treasures of the study.
Tang Xuan glanced at Nangong Xing, as if he was thinking of something, and smiled and said: I forgot to ask, do you also want to participate in the gambling method mentioned by this brother?
Nangong Xing smiled and said: Of course, isn’t it more interesting to add some inconspicuous variables to you two?
He took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and placed them on the table, took out a few gold leaves and placed them on it, then sprinkled a handful of pearls next to him, and said lightly: Besides, if we just fight for wealth, it is too boring to win and too wasteful. It is better to gamble with our own skills, which is good for everyone, right?
Tang Xuan and Yang Tan are both experts with excellent eyesight. Just looking at the pearls scattered on the table by Nangong Xing, the worst-looking one is the grade of Guan Yuzhu. Those who rolled over the table clearly had countless silver. They looked trembling, and they all reconsidered the amount they wanted to write.
Bai Ruoyun just now just looked at the pearl curtain. The maid took the paper and pen and placed it in front of him. He was shocked. He leaned towards Nangong Xing as if he had woken up from his dream and whispered: This... how should I write it? Tang Xuan just shouted five thousand taels of Ah
Nangong Xing patted his shoulder and smiled and said: Brother Bai, since you have been an old friend with Ningzhu, you must know her better than everyone present. What should I write? Why do you still need an outsider, as an outsider to help you make an idea?
Bai Ruoyun was stunned, then turned her head and looked at the bead curtain blankly, holding a brush in her hand, but she didn't write a word
Tang Xuan waved his face with a smile and gently blew the ink traces. He still had the time to fold it into two leaves of paper and handed it to the maid.
Yang Tan frowned and thought about it. He first picked up the pen and wrote a few sentences, then kneaded the paper into a ball and threw it into the lake. He asked for another piece, thought about it carefully, slowly wrote it, folded it in half, and handed it to the maid.
When Bai Ruoyun reached this point, she sighed deeply, lowered her head and wrote a line quickly, and gave it casually
The maid walked behind the bead curtain with three pieces of paper and handed it to Ningzhu
Tang Xuan stretched out her finger and gently flicked the edge of the wine glass, and said with a smile: Brother Yang, your face doesn't look good.
Yang Tan's lips twitched slightly and said with a forced smile: This gambling method allows you to take advantage of the situation. The girl in Songzhuyuan does not value the money so much than the other three yards. The price I paid must be able to smooth your face to lose, even if I lose, I will not accept it.
Tang Xuan smiled and said: No matter how I beat you, you will never accept it. In order not to get entangled, I will let you win back next time
Yang Tan glanced at Bai Ruoyun who was unscrupulous and snorted: Don't be too proud, don't forget that there is an opponent here, this brother, but he is also a handsome talent. His friends around him seem to be more generous than you.
Although my friend has the right to be rich, this brother is quite arrogant. He doesn't seem to be a person who will rely on his friends all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said a word for a long time, letting us push the price to a higher price. Tang Xuan looked at the six directions and could see clearly. Yang Tan's eyes were extraordinary, so he could naturally see that when he said this, his face turned a little pale a little.
After a moment of quiet behind the pearl curtain, a sudden sound of sobs that seemed to be suppressed but failed. After Ningzhu stood up, he hurried into the corridor on the other side.
Tang Xuan's expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to get up, the maid walked out from behind the curtain. She looked at Nangong Xing and the four of them in confusion, and then said aloud: Who is Mr. Bai Ruoyun and Bai?
Bai Ruoyun stood up in response, even his voice trembled slightly, and said: It's me!
The maid frowned, as if she was reluctant, but she still said: Congratulations, young master, please come here for the four of you
Nangong Xing swept away the property on the table, urging the three of them to walk into the corridor where Ningzhu walked into. He landed at the end, glanced at Tang Xuan, and smiled: Brother Tang, it is better not to be so confident in everything in the future.
Tang Xuan's expression calmed down in an instant, and she smiled and said: It's true that even Xinmei was mixed up with a group of people dressed in a man. She actually brought the girl to such places with real swords and guns to pay a lot of money to gain knowledge. She was still willing to spend a lot of money, and she felt ashamed of herself.
Nangong Xing smiled and said: Brother Tang seems to be not proficient in Fengyueyi. It is because he brought the girl here to gain knowledge that he has to spend a lot of money, otherwise how could he show the heroic spirit of a good man.
Tang Xuan heard that he was joking, so he turned around and said: You have won all the money. Can you let me know how much you have paid? I immediately wrote a love poem and brought out three thousand taels of silver.
Yang Tan won the bet and was in a good mood. He also laughed and said: Tsk, you actually gave less money. I lost my life and wrote 6,500 taels. I really want to win. My mother even had to take off her pants. Brother, how much did you pay? 7,000? Or 10,000? If it was this price, you might as well go to the madam to discuss and give more money to redeem this Ningzhu.
Nangong Xingshen smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: I am afraid you don’t believe it when you say it. Sometimes, as long as you say it accurately, for women, it can be worth tens of taels of gold tonight, and we only need to spend a few dozen taels of wine tonight.
The two of them left dumbfounded, Nangong Xing was in a great mood, and walked into the corridor with a laugh.
Walking to the small tree of Linhu where Ningzhu is. Sure enough, Bai Ruolan and Tang Xin stayed outside the door and did not follow in. The maid with her was obviously sent out by Ningzhu. She stood anxiously outside the door and listened carefully to the movement in the door.
Why? Don’t you go in and listen to the little song? Ningzhu’s voice is really good. In time, it’s not surprising that he is in the top ten of the flower list. It will be difficult to listen to the previous song. Nangong Xing stood outside the door and said jokingly
Bai Ruolan glanced at him in anger, but there was a stranger next to her, so she couldn't have an attack, so she had to pretend to be a man and whisper in a low voice: Why did she enter a place like Qianjinlou? I have to ask you for an explanation sooner or later! You knew it a long time ago, why didn't you say it earlier?
Nangong Xing said lightly: You went down the mountain to find Sun Xiuyi, not to find her. I said rashly, wouldn't it be messing up your itinerary
After all, this is the Bai family's family business. Tang Xin couldn't interrupt, so she had to look around bored and looked around.
Nangong Xing glanced at the maid, took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into her hand, and said softly: "Little sister, don't stay here all the time, why not find a place to rest for a while, come back after an hour, it's nothing."
The maid hurriedly pushed back the money and said with caution: How can this be done? I have to serve Miss Ningzhu, and I must also beware of someone who has ulterior motives and plans.
Nangong Xing still stuffed the silver back and said: Hey, you are a weak woman. What's the matter? Can you fight against the three of us? Xiao Zhu has guards outside. You can't hide it from the truth. This young master Bai and you, Miss Ningzhu, were old friends, and there must be some private words to say inside. After you listen, you know too much.
The maid's expression changed slightly. In such a place, it would never be a good thing to know too much. She hesitated, took the silver and stuffed it into her sleeve bag, and whispered: Since you don't go in... just go somewhere else to rest. I'll serve you tea.
Nangong Xing smiled and said: OK, please help me lead the way and find a quieter place to avoid being disturbed.
Bai Ruolan seemed reluctant to leave, so Tang Xin had to come forward and lean into her ear and whisper something. Then she followed her reluctantly.
Leave my brother and Ningzhu there together
Everyone outside the door had already walked away, but Xiaozhu was still quiet so he could only hear the breath of the two of them.
Bai Ruoyun tried his best to maintain the smoothness of his breath, and as soon as he entered the door, he hid in the beads behind the curtain, and the sound of sobs was still faintly mixed with the sound of sobs in his breath.
What he wanted to ask the most was why she was here, but for some reason, she felt a little abrupt when she asked this question. She was confused for a moment and didn't know what to say.
After a while, Ningzhu finally passed away and asked in a low voice: Mr. Bai, what song do you want to listen to? I will play and sing for you now.
Bai Ruoyun was anxious and said: You, you know I was not here to do this kind of thing!
Ningzhu said: This is strange. If you don’t do such a thing, why are you doing in Qianjinlou? Could it be that Fuguilou will not do your Bai family’s business, which will cause you to come here to find someone to save your madman?
It was Xiu'er who Brother Nangong insisted on bringing me. It was indeed you, me... Bai Ruoyun's heart was turbulent when she heard her own identity. She flashed with a trace of water in her eyes.
Ningzhu immediately interrupted: Don't mention that name again, Li Xiu'er is dead. Now only Ningzhu is here, just a singing girl who has to devote herself to brothels to make a living.
Bai Ruoyun's words were choked into his stomach, which made his chest feel bored. He took two steps towards Ningzhu and said sadly: Xiu'er, no matter what... you and I have a vow of old age. There are only some misunderstandings among them. They are afraid that you will disrupt the marriage with Emei. They just want to protect you for a while, not to have any ill intentions towards you.
No malice? Ningzhu's tone suddenly rose, as if it was a mother beast that touched the pain. He just didn't want to alarm others, so he tried his best to suppress the volume. If there was no malice, why did it make me lose my child? If there was no malice, I ran away at night and didn't see the person I found, why did the killer come instead? If there was no malice, who would have invited the famous Seven Star Gate to chase me a weak woman without any power!
You, what did you say? Bai Ruoyun's face turned pale, her knees were bent and she sat on the chair beside her. Why haven't I heard of this...?
You are the groom, Ah, I am a hamper, a abandoned woman like me, who is life or death, how could anyone come and tell you that! The crying in Ningzhu's painting is already hard to suppress, just like the grievances I suffered before, all of them came out of my heart. If I hadn't been blessed and had met some good people, such as Li Xiuer and Ningzhu, would have become a few bones in the mud nest!
The news I heard was too unexpected. Bai Ruoyun held the handrail tightly with both hands, gasped violently for a few breaths before calming down, and said: Xiu... Miss Ningzhu, this is too far from what I heard. There must be some hidden information. Please... believe me again, tell me, what happened after we separated?
Ningzhu walked out of the curtain, her face was covered in darkness, with only two lines of clear tears hanging on her. She stood there firmly, looking at Bai Ruoyun and said: You might as well talk about it first, what is the situation you heard?
Bai Ruoyun carefully recalled what he heard at the Bai family and said: They said that they were discussing aborting the fetus in your belly and heard it. You sneaked away at night and accidentally rolled down the hillside. After saving you, the child was gone. You suffered a lot of damage and refused to speak. That night, he disappeared and only took away the beads I gave... Isn't that actually that?
Ningzhu stared at his eyes and said with tears in her eyes: I was so sad that I couldn't fall asleep that night. When I got up and walked past the porch, I heard your Zhu brother scolding me in the room with a bitch. I couldn't help but listen for a while, and then I realized that he not only wanted to take away my child, but also wanted to take this opportunity to kill my life, because I was just a lowly laundry woman, not worthy of your future young master. Your second uncle persuaded you for a while, but the more I heard it, the more I became more and more scared. In the end, I just wanted to find a secret place to secretly give birth to the child and go to find you.
But I suddenly rained heavily that night. I ran away and rolled down the hillside with my foot in the air. When I woke up... the child... the child could not save me. The one who rescued me was your brother Song. I didn't think he looked like a bad person, so I hid in the house and rested as he said. In the evening, your second uncle rushed over and told Song that your brother Zhu had prevented the future troubles. He took a few confidant junior brothers to find my whereabouts, so he told Song that he would find me before them. You Song would not lie. He told your second uncle immediately. He came in and saw my injuries. He left without saying anything. I couldn't sleep that night. He always felt that the danger was getting closer and closer. He couldn't help but get up and put on his clothes and wanted to talk to your brother Song. But in the end... I happened to find someone secretly in the yard outside the window. I was in a hurry and didn't care about packing my luggage. I just grabbed a pearl flower and flipped out of the window.
After that, I ran for seven days, and there was someone chasing me behind me, which made me dare not sleep for a long time. In the end... I was caught up by those people. They claimed to be the killer of the Seven Star Gate, and used money to do things and told me to be a ghost. I asked them who wanted to kill me. They refused to say that, but they just took the sword and walked towards me, getting closer and closer... getting closer and closer...
Looking at Ningzhu's face with deep and deep fear appeared on her face because of memories, Bai Ruoyun's heart was astrayed and said tragically: Is it...who saved you?
Ningzhu looked down at him, and was silent for a while before saying word by word: It's Ruyi Tower
What? Bai Ruoyun was shocked and stood up suddenly and said, "It's really them?" Why did they happen to save you?"
They saw that I was so dirty that I was very pitiful. They were here to give me some food and money, but they happened to meet a killer who was acting like a murderer. They... They sacrificed two of them to save me. Ningzhu raised his hand and wiped his tears and said, After that, there was no Li Xiuer in this world, only Ningzhu
Bai Ruoyun was in chaos and couldn't help asking: You...have you really entrusted Ruyilou to come to the Bai family to take revenge?
Ningzhu was stunned, and then, an angry look quickly rose in her eyes, as if she had suffered some insult. She took two steps back and said coldly: If I asked them to take revenge, do you still have the life to sit here? Do you know, who I hate the most when I was lying on the bed with my stomach in my arms and crying? I ran away like a wild dog, and who I hated the most when I was fleeing from a bucket of food? Who did I hate the most when I was pointed at by four swords?
Then...you...
I entrusted Ruyilou. Ningzhu took a deep breath and tried her best to restrain her passion. She said, "And she also entrusted more than one thing to me for the price they asked me for. I could afford it no matter what. When the matter was over, I handed it over to them. From then on, both of them will not owe each other."
What you entrust is...
What I won't tell you... has nothing to do with you. Ningzhu's expression became colder. She walked back to the curtain and said, "If you listen to the song, you can click it now." Otherwise, please go back to my slave... I'm very tired.
Bai Ruoyun frowned, the silt in his heart was so sad that he could not vent his feelings. He had no idea about countless doubts. His beloved was close at hand, but it seemed like an invisible wall was separated by an invisible wall, and he could not find a passage to enter.
Xiu'er... No, Miss Ningzhu, it's me... I'm sorry for you. I said I will protect you well. I didn't do it. The wrong one... It's me, I... I won't leave now... I'll disturb you again. I left intermittent sentences in a daze. Bai Ruoyun opened the door and moved out like a walking corpse.
The singing and dancing outside the corridor is still joyful and festive, the night wind is still full of the fragrance of aged wine, and the seductive smell of powder is filled with the flowing breath. Except for him, it seems that everyone in the world is enjoying the joy brought by life.
He closed the door behind him and walked back to the corridor
At the end of the corridor, there seems to be only endless darkness
Turning the first corner, he saw Nangong Xing
I thought you all left first...Where is Lan'er and Miss Tang? Bai Ruoyun forced a smile and asked
Nangong Xing said: They are having tea with Tang Xuan. I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with it. Come and wait and see
Bai Ruoyun said slowly: It's just... I just listen to the music, what can I do not deal with?
Nangong Xing smiled and said straightforwardly: It seems that you haven't made up yet...
Bai Ruoyun was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying: It seems that it is a waste of effort to pretend to be in front of you. She just hated me and me... Where did you get the opportunity to make peace with her
Nangong Xing patted his shoulder and suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard something funny.
Bai Ruoyun was a little embarrassed and annoyed by laughing, and couldn't help but say: Why are you laughing at?
Nangong Xing pressed his shoulder with both hands and said solemnly: I ask you, what price did the note you just wrote?
Bai Ruoyun hesitated for a moment and lowered her head and said: I only wrote one sentence, "I miss you very much and worry about you very much. I have a lot to say to you."
Nangong Xing immediately said: So she hated you so much that she didn't even want to spend a few thousand taels of silver, just to ask you to go in and scold you, right?
Seeing Bai Ruoyun looking at her enlightened appearance, Nangong Xing said again: There are many times when women say one thing, but what they think is another thing. If you think of anything you hear in front of a woman, then you can only be a fool in your life.
You...you mean...
All I know is that a woman who hates you so much that she grits her teeth will not drive the maid out first as soon as she enters the house. After Nangong Xing said that, he smiled and leaned close to Bai Ruoyun's ear, and muttered a few words in a low voice.
Bai Ruoyun was shocked and said: How did this happen?
Nangong Xing just smiled and said: If you go back and see the situation, you will naturally know whether it is successful or not. You just need to turn around and go back. The next moment, the guards will all drink with me.
Bai Ruoyun looked at him hesitantly, and his expression became obviously moved.
Let's go, we still have a lot of trouble waiting to be solved. I don't have time to sell you for ten days and half a month in Qianjin Building. If you still want this wife, listen to me. Nangong Xing picked up his elbow and urged him. Or if you say it clearly, you will never come to Ningzhu again. Ningzhu will be redeemed as a concubine or bought as a slave or a servant, it has nothing to do with you. Then let's go back now and never climb the door of Qianjin Building.
No, Bai Ruoyun finally calmed down. He patted Nangong Xing's back of his hand gratefully and said, I'll go back now
He turned around, walked back to Ningzhu's small gate, took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and rushed in
Ningzhu obviously didn't expect Bai Ruoyun to come back. She looked back at the door in panic, and even forgot to put down the things in her hand.
She sat next to the table, with a box of makeup boxes open on the table, and the things in them were neat and only missing were she held in her hand and pinched them tightly.
Bai Ruoyun recognized it at a glance, that was the bead he had worn for her with his own hands.
