Stepping into the slave quarters, he felt his vision turn black. There were only two windows inside, and he could vaguely see people sitting or standing. I finally got used to the darkness in front of me. I looked through the veil and saw that the people sitting in front were probably buyers. They were all half-old men. There were also two women with heavy makeup. They should be brothels. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but chuckle,[Am I not the same?]？What's the matter? How can you blame the good Yin? Falling? How can you compare with the water in the cup? Drooping? Just as my mother told me to be careful? Father's enemy? Sakura? Can the father of the broken pieces of stone, the stone, The toad's side asks the antler to row Mu? muscle
Old Zhang found a chair for me, and Siyue helped me to sit in a corner far away. I carefully looked at the woman on the viewing platform. She was too far away, so I could only get a rough look. Their figures were not bad, and their facial contours were not bad. Among them, there were two women leaning against each other in the corner that attracted my attention. I took two steps forward and was shocked when I saw their faces. Haha! Interesting, they were twins! I went back and sat down. After a while, two people who looked like officials walked out with a notebook in their hands. There was a commotion among the people sitting there, but it quickly quieted down. It seemed like they were all regulars.
An older official with an impatient face cleared his throat and said,""Everyone is an old acquaintance, so there's no need to say anything else. The women on the stage were the families of officials who had been fired and their families confiscated during the Jiangnan flood. There were a total of twelve people, eight of whom were maidservants and four of whom were young ladies. Oh, among them, the Jiangnan Water Conservancy Inspector's family had a pair of twins. Everyone knows the rules. The maidservant starts at twenty taels, and the young miss starts at a hundred taels. The highest bidder wins. Let's start now!”
"I want the twin sisters!”Front row? How can you be so arrogant? A? The Mu family?∪？Japanese Sword
"I bid four hundred taels!" A fat old man shouted while drooling.
"I bid 450 taels!"
"I bid five hundred taels!"
"One thousand taels!" I waved the brocade handkerchief in my hand and stood up in the silence."I'll pay another thousand taels for the rest, give it all to me!”
"Miss!" The tall and thin official, who had been silent all this while, interrupted the discussion in the room."May I know what Young Lady does?"
I sat down and looked at him leisurely.""But the girls in my building are different from those in other places. They have the freedom to choose."
"What freedom?" The one who spoke was one of the twins. "The freedom to perform or sell myself," I laughed. That is to say, if you are not willing to sell yourself, no one can rape you.”
"How can I believe you?" That girl was really aggressive.
"We can sign a contract!" I chuckled." And I can promise you that I'll give you your freedom after three years.”
"How is that possible?"
"Is she crazy…"
"Who is she…"
I interrupted the buzzing discussion and took out two thousand silver notes."How is it? If no one bids higher than me, can I take them away?”
"Sure!"
After the buyers left, the tall and thin official ordered people to take the women who were still in disbelief away. Then, he looked at me thoughtfully and whispered,""I hope what you said is true. Although they are the daughters of sinners, their family backgrounds are clean. If we really let them fall into the land of fireworks or become concubines, it's really…"
I was surprised. I didn't expect this man to have some conscience. I handed him the banknote and said solemnly,"Don't worry. Although I'm a woman, I know that a promise is worth a thousand gold.”
"Then I will thank you on their behalf.”"There are still a few women in the official media agency behind us…"
"I was just about to go. I wonder if this lord can do me a favor and bring me there.”
"Of course." He was overjoyed." The official media there is my elder brother. I can have a say."”
"Thank you so much." I followed him out of the door and walked to the official media agency next door. "Why are you so nice to them?" she asked.”
" I…" He paused and smiled bitterly,""My wife used to be like them. Later, I bought her. She told me to make sure that the girls had as good a home as possible.”
"Then you must love your wife very much, right?”I teased. "I'm very curious," he asked, blushing."Why would you think of the Blooming Flower Pavilion?"”
"I'm no longer a girl!" "I'm a woman," I said lightly. Although it was a brothel, the girls only needed to accompany them to drink and perform. Although they were still flower girls, at least they could preserve their last dignity.”
" Young lady…I should call you Madam…"
"Whatever you want to call me!" I followed him around a corner and stepped into a larger and brighter room. Two men were drinking in the hall, and a strong woman was sitting on a low stool in the corner. She looked like a guard.
"Litai, why are you here?" One of the men who was drinking, a tall and thin man, stood up.
" Big brother, it's like this…" Litai pointed at me and said a few words. Litai's big brother glanced at me and turned to speak to the man behind him. The man looked troubled. I smiled and took out fifty silver notes from my sleeve."This is for you to drink." The man glanced at it and took it without batting an eyelid. He said to the woman in the corner,"Aunt Piao, bring this madam in to take a look.”
"Yes, my lord." Aunt Pu glanced at me and walked to the back hall. I asked Old Zhang to stay and brought Si Yue in.
After passing through a corridor, there was a row of small houses with locks on the doors. Auntie Piao held the key and didn't open the door. She just looked at me and said,"These girls just arrived the day before yesterday. All of them are well-educated and well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting…"
"Thank you, Auntie." I took out twenty silver pieces and gave them to her."Thank you, Auntie."
"Madam is too polite." She accepted it with a smile and whispered into my ear,"There's another one behind. She's talented and beautiful! It's just that his temper isn't very good. He even bit me yesterday!”
"Oh?" My eyes lit up.”
"But she really has a bad temper…"
"It's okay. Take me there." I interrupted her. She helplessly opened the door. I walked up and saw a girl lying on the bed with her clothes on. When she heard the door open, she jumped up and rushed to the door. Aunt Piao grabbed her shoulders and pressed her against the bed. I walked in and brushed her messy hair away. Hehe, she was indeed a beauty! However, her cat-like eyes were filled with hatred. I asked Aunt Piao to let her go. Aunt Piao blushed and said,"No, it won't be good if you hurt Madam.”
"It's alright." I bent down and looked into the girl's eyes."I have no enmity with her. Why would she hurt me? Besides, if she really hurt me, she would still bring trouble to herself in the end. How could she not know the principle of a wise man not to fight when the odds are against him?”
Sure enough, after listening to my words, the girl's eyes were no longer so fierce. She just looked at me in confusion. Auntie Pu let go of her hand and I told her to go out and close the door. I sat down on the bed and took off my hat. Seeing the girl staring at me blankly, I smiled and touched her face."What are you looking at?"
"You are very beautiful." She softly spat out a few words.
"You're the beautiful one! She's a real beauty." I found a comb to help her comb her hair."Tell me your story!”
" I…" She choked." Who are you? Why should I tell you!"
"I will become your sister and your family.”
"I don't have any relatives. They're all dead!”She turned around angrily. The comb pulled her hair and she frowned. I smiled dotingly.”
"Why should I believe you? Who are you? What do you want?"
"Me? You can call me Sister Jin Se. I'm here to buy you."
"Buy me? Why are you buying me?" Her face was filled with bewilderment.
"Be a flower girl!" I smiled wickedly.”
"What?" She jumped up and shrank into the corner to look at me. I shook the comb in my hand. Why don't you let me finish?"
"You…you tell me." She gulped. It seemed that she was really frightened.
"Although I own a brothel, the girls in my brothel don't have to sell their bodies. At most, he would accompany her to drink and sing songs. Although you are both flower maidens, you can still preserve your dignity. After three years, you can choose to stay or leave.”
"Leave? We are penniless and have no relatives to rely on. What can we do if we leave?”
"Of course you won't be penniless.”I laughed,"You guys receive the money and I split it 20 - 80." I'm the boss. I get eight, and you get two. Of course, the more you work, the more you get. How about that?”
"Why should I believe you?" She looked at me in confusion." No matter what, it's still a flower maiden. I'd rather die than go."”
"Die?" I snorted coldly,"It's easy to die. But I don't understand. Since you're not even afraid of death, why are you afraid of losing face? Your family is dead, who else can you embarrass? Besides, if it weren't for those men who liked to visit places with fireworks, how could there be a flower lady? They should be the ones losing face! We rely on our own abilities to make a living. This is a hundred times better than selling you to the disheveled old man to be his concubine! Three years, after three years, you can leave or stay as you wish. If you agree to go back, we'll sign a contract.”
"You're not lying to me?" She calmed down." You're right. I'm just trying to make myself look good. Rather than being trapped by an old man for the rest of my life, I might as well endure the humiliation for three years. When the time comes, I'll find a place to hide my identity and be a good girl with a clean family background.”
"Good! The girl was smart and saw through everything. Now can you tell me your story?”
"Me?" "There's nothing to say." She pursed her lips. If my father offended the Crown Prince, it would bring disaster to the entire family. The man would kill the woman and sell her. One of her concubines was sold to be a concubine in her hometown, and her younger sister, who was born from a concubine, was also sold. I was born to the first wife, so the treatment was naturally different. I was brought to the official media agency the day before yesterday.”
"The Crown Prince?" I smiled." That's easy. You'll get your revenge in less than a year.”
"What do you mean?" She looked at me with wide eyes. I patted her shoulder. How much are you worth?"
"About two to three thousand taels." She laughed at herself,"I didn't know I was worth so much money!"”
"You're a national beauty. Of course you're worth that much!”"Let's go and see the other sisters."”
