Chapter 75 Chapter Eighteen

I smiled and asked, "How much money will Mr. He Gan pay you for staying here for one night?" The old bustard laughed and said: "What kind of money do you talk to the old man? It's Taoyao's honor to see our family Taoyao." I saw that the bustard was smiling bitterly.Hegan Chengji will not pay less money, but compared with many nobles of Guijie, he is probably considered poor.She was very attentive to Hegan Chengji, partly because he was a celebrity in front of the prince, and partly because she was afraid of the sharp sword in his hand. I smiled and said: "Then it looks like Mom thinks it's better if Mr. Hegan doesn't come?"

The old bustard sighed: "To tell the truth, I naturally look forward to Mr. Hegan coming every day. With his old man here, no one of the highest rank on this street dares to mess with us. Even those noble masters who came, most of them would have seen it too. For the sake of the prince's face, he won't come to trouble us. In our building, besides Lord Han, Mr. Hegan and his group are the most welcome. I just hope that when Mr. Hegan comes, don't pester Taoyao all the time. There are many other beautiful girls, so Taoyao can also receive other guests, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

I knew that people from the prince's party often lingered here.She didn't care about it at the moment, she just smiled and said, "Mom, I have a way to get the best of both worlds. If you listen to me, I will give you another ten ingots for this kind of gold." The old bustard swallowed her saliva and said, "Sir, please tell me." I smiled, took off my turban, revealed my beautiful hair, and said: "Young Master Hegan, I will receive you. You have asked Tao Yao from your family to receive other guests." The old bustard stared at me, and suddenly smiled and said: "It turns out that the young master is a girl. Fortunately, the girl is not from our profession, otherwise I would have to take the girl from this building to beg for food. Really, how tall is she, such a beauty!" Taoyao is considered pretty, and her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to the girl's, but it's a pity that she loses a bit of her charm in the end!"

My heart moved, and I said: "Invite Miss Taoyao to me to have a look." The old bustard hurriedly responded, and went to the door to give orders, and soon only heard the ring peeping dingdang, a woman in red was holding a pipa in her arms, and walked in with small steps half shyly.When I saw that the chief seat was actually a woman with loose hair, I was more surprised than I was. I was shocked, surprised that this woman's eyebrows and eyes were seven or eight points similar to mine, but she was very young, only fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she was a man in the world, she had a timid and lively expression like a deer, and she hugged a pipa In the hand, it seems to be a little pretending to be deep.

And this Taoyao stared at me for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Is the girl's surname Rong?" I slowly stroked my long black hair, restrained the beating of my heart, and said, "How does Miss Taoyao know?" Taoyao heard my confession, her eyes were actually very happy, and she said: "Young Master He Gan said that I am very similar to an old friend of his. That old man lived in seclusion in a far away place, and his surname was Rong. He also said that maybe there is One day, this girl will still look for him. However, he seems to just talk casually, and drink after finishing talking, as if he didn't believe that the girl would come to him. It turns out that the girl really came. "

My throat was slightly choked, but the old bustard laughed: "It turns out that the girl is from Mr. Hegan's heart. It's a good feeling, and the girl will do whatever she wants. I asked someone to tidy up Taoyao's room and replace it with a new bedding. , Warm up with good wine and good food, let the girl live in first and wait." Tao Yao was also pleasantly surprised and said: "I don't have any guests now, so I will go with the girl." The old bustard hurriedly winked at Taoyao, and said: "How can there be no guests outside, they are all waiting for our Miss Taoyao. This girl must have not seen Mr. Hegan for a long time, so naturally there are many things to say, you are caught between What is it here?"

Tao Yao complied, still looking at me with a smile, without moving.The shape of her eyes is very similar to mine, and even the pupils are as transparent as mine. They are as bright as black mercury, but they are much younger than mine. middle school girls. Suddenly, I seemed to see my young self, who was full of vigor when he was facing Chenxi every day when he went to school. The youth of boys and girls flew straight to my heart, and I almost blurted out: "Just let her stay with me. I was about to ask her something. " The old bustard actually put on a look of embarrassment and heartache, and said with a bitter face: "Those guests who come to see Miss Taoyao are waiting in line!"

Impatient, I nodded at Baima again. Baima threw another ingot of gold, accompanied by a fierce glare.I said lightly: "Even if this girl takes care of Miss Taoyao tonight. You don't need to be wordy here, it's important to go and receive other guests." The old bustard hurriedly put the gold sleeves into his arms, and said cheerfully: "Girl, play well, play well, I will prepare food and drinks for the girl after a while, so that the girl can have fun!" Taoyao's room did not have the greasy fragrance of rouge that is common to women in the world. Although the tent and quilt are soft, they are not flashy, and the color is mainly light pink, which is very refreshing.Only the dressing table was a little messy, and there were a few cheap jewelry scattered in front of the mirror, which seemed to be the owner's new ones that hadn't been cleaned up in time.

Tao Yao hastily swept all the jewelry into the drawer, said with a smile: "My house has always been a mess, my mother has taught me how many times that I can't clean it up." My hair has just come down from the turban and I haven't combed it yet.Baima had already prepared my clothes and jewelry, and let me change into women's clothes first. On top of the lavender silk skirt and the deep purple lotus leaf dress, I wore a dark purple wind-fur cardigan with a lavender skirt. The wide-edged belt embroidered with hundreds of butterflies complements my slender waist, making it even more graceful and delicate.

Baima straightened the bronze mirror and was about to comb my hair when Tao Yao smiled and said, "I'll comb your hair for Miss!" That smiling face is as bright as a peach blossom just blooming, charming and lovely.I couldn't help smiling and said, "Okay, let's do a bun." Taoyao helped me comb my hair and said with a smile, "Miss is indeed a first-rate fairy. No wonder Brother Hegan always misses you." I sighed softly: "He and I, we haven't seen each other for almost two years, I think he has forgotten me long ago. Does he often mention me to you?"

Tao Yao smiled and said: "You don't need to mention it, I know it too. People only say that he is greedy for my beauty, so he always lingers here. But I know that brother He Gan is not such a person. He came to see me, just with me Drink, talk, listen to me play the pipa, watch me dance, and then leave. Only sleep with me when I am drunk, but never touch me, saying that I am his little sister!" She slowly put a lock of hair on the top of my head, forming a beautiful round hairpin, and said with a smile: "When he was drunk once, he told me that I was like his old friend. I asked him if it was my brother. Sweetheart? He just smiled and refused to speak." Tao Yao bent down her smiling face and said, "Are you my brother Hegan's sweetheart?" Her question was asked so bluntly, without any scruples.At this moment, the red prostitute's eyes were pure and clean, and her delicate face was full of sincerity and innocence. This girl is actually still a child. I sighed, patted her little face, and asked, "How many years have you been in this business?" The clarity in Taoyao's eyes receded quickly, her face slowly blushed, and she said, "I have been here since I was a child, and I used to help girls comb their hair and change their clothes. Two years ago, the most famous weeping red girl here was redeemed by someone. Only then did my mother help me up, taught me how to learn music and dance, and accompanied the wine to meet guests." "how old are you?" "Fifteen! Brother Hegan always says that I am young, but in fact I am not young anymore." Fifteen years old, only thirteen years old two years ago, and started receiving guests?I looked at this carefree girl with pity: "Have you been here all your life?" Taoyao lowered her head, while fiddling with the comb, she said: "What can I do? I received the guests early on, not only because I was clean, but also to be looked down upon by others. Even if it is hard work, I am satisfied Yes. Brother He Gan has a heart and wants to help me very much, but he has always lost money and can’t save money. He has to borrow some money from the prince when he is happy to redeem me. I just don’t know when he will You can raise the money for my redemption. In the past, the weeping red girl was a nobleman, so people looked down on her, and today she is the side concubine of the King of Han." Qihong, how long ago was this name?I pushed the tortoiseshell tassel inlaid gold step deeply through the hairline, and said: "Weeping Hong, she has probably become a role model among prostitutes. I don't know if she remembers the past in her brothel?" Seeing that my tone was a bit cold, Tao Yao hesitated and said, "Miss, don't you like Miss Crying Red?" I looked back at the snow on the eaves, and asked myself with infinite despondency: "I don't like her? Heh, this woman, who do I need to like?" She and I don't need anyone to like her, love is already a luxury.For her, it is already a distant dream; for me, it is as far away as a dream. "If you really want to leave here, it will be very convenient for me to ask someone to redeem you. But you will have to follow me in the future, and you will not be as comfortable and happy as you are now." I cut Baima from the outside A branch of red plum was pinned to her temples, and her pale lips were painted the same ruby ​​red as plum blossoms, and her whole person suddenly became vivid and charming. Taoyao's eyes seemed to be full of exclamation marks, burning with a strange brilliance, and said: "Miss, are you serious?" She suddenly climbed to the ground, kowtowed three times respectfully, and said: "Then Taoyao is willing to serve Miss all her life!" I smiled sadly and said: "Okay, then you can always be with me. I am also very afraid of growing old alone." Tao Yao wondered: "Aren't you going to be with Brother He Gan in the future? How could he leave you alone?"
