Luoyang. Pinhua Building. Aunt Hua raised her orchid fingers, picked up a bunch of crystal clear grapes, and said leisurely to the five little girls in front of her, "Why do you want to enter our Pinhua Building?" The delicate little girl Xiang'er knelt on the ground with a "plop", crying with tears in her eyes: "My mother suddenly contracted a serious illness the day before yesterday and died. I have a pity that my family is poor and has no money to bury... I beg you to accept me, I don't have anything I can do it... as long as I can bury my mother, I am willing to do anything!"

Aunt Hua swept her eyes and saw that the other three little girls had tears in their eyes, and their expressions were sad. It must be because of the circumstances that they had no choice but to think of selling themselves in Hualou.However, there was a little girl in red among them, with big black and white eyes open, looking at her with a smile.She was surprised, this little girl looked smooth and fleshy, she didn't look like she had experienced any hardship, she was as pure and innocent as a little flower by the stream, she was very different from the girls and maids in the past. "Tell me." Aunt Hua pointed her finger and hit the little girl in red.

The little girl in red smiled like a flower, and replied cheerfully: "I am because of admiration." "Admiration?!" "That's right! Pinhualou is known as the No. 1 building in the world, and its reputation is unmatched. I believe that any successful business must have its merits, so I came here from a long distance. I hope you can accept my proposal." join in!" "Cough!" Aunt Hua almost choked on the grapes, she clutched her chest and began to cough. The little girl in red hurriedly walked behind her, helped her to beat her back lightly, and smiled crisply: "When I see you now, aunt, I will know why Pinhualou is famous all over the world."

Aunt Hua was stunned: "Why?" "You are elegant, beautiful but not flashy, dignified but not rigid. With a person like you in charge of Pinhualou, it is impossible not to succeed." Aunt Hua couldn't help laughing: "I'm just here to take care of the girl and servant, not the person in charge." The little girl in red covered her mouth and said in amazement: "No way! People like you, aunt, are willing to give in. It can be seen that Pinhualou is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger that cannot be underestimated!" Aunt Hua waved her hands and said with a smile: "You little girl can really make sweetness out of your mouth, okay, okay, I'll accept you... Bi'er, go and give her a tael of silver."

The maid Bi'er stepped back. "By the way, your name is..." The little girl in red smiled, "My name is Ru Ge." "Ru Ge?" Aunt Hua pondered, "You can call Ge Er here in the future." "Thank you, aunt! But..." Ru Ge looked at the other four little girls, hesitating to speak. "Say it." "Auntie, do you only want me? They seem to need this job very much." Xiang'er, who was kneeling on the ground, burst into tears like rain, with a pitiful look on her face, which made Ruge feel guilty. Aunt Hua said coldly: "Pinhualou is a place where guests are happy. If the maids are crying and crying all day long, what would they look like?"

Ru Ge winked at Xiang'er, smiled and said: "Ma'am, sister Xiang'er is also in a bad mood because she just lost her mother. After a few days after her mother is buried, she will naturally get better, and sister Xiang'er is beautiful I miss you again, I will definitely be your good helper, sister Xiang'er, won't you?" Xiang'er had sold her body to bury her mother in the market for several days before, but she couldn't find a buyer. Seeing that her mother's funeral could not be delayed any longer, the only way out was to be a maidservant in a flower house, so there was no room for her to think too much. Repeatedly replied: "Yes! Yes!"

Aunt Hua raised her eyebrows, looking sideways at Ruge who folded her hands together in prayer.This little girl is quite interesting! Luoyang Pinhua Building. The first floor in the world. The wine in Pinhualou is good, ranging from the famous wine enjoyed by the royal family and nobles, to the unknown small wine in the countryside and mountains. As long as you want to taste it, you can drink it lightly like a fairy if you keep it. The food at Pinhualou is good, whether it is delicacies from mountains and seas or home-cooked side dishes, they are all so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue.

But the most attractive thing about Pinhualou is its people. beauty. Desperate beauty. There are coquettish beauties, elegant and noble beauties, pure and shy beauties, simple and straightforward beauties, and the most popular brutal and straightforward beauties recently. In short, as long as you come to Pinhualou, there is always a suitable one for you!If you are not satisfied, refund or exchange until you are satisfied! Haha, please don't get me wrong, Pinhualou is not an ordinary brothel. it is- Let's put it this way, it is an intermediary agency, all the girls who come here to list are free to come and go, they can freely set their social status, they can freely choose customers, they can freely choose time, and they can freely choose "service" content , of course, Pinhua Building also has to make money, so every girl has to pay a certain amount of rent for the scene every month. (The money is not much, so as to attract more "high-quality" beauties.)

So, how does Pinhualou earn so much gold and silver? correct!Food and drink. All the guests who come here, how can they sit and look at the girl, who doesn't order a few dishes, drink a jug of wine, and how can he win the heart of the beloved beauty without appearing generous and lavish?Everyone knows that the profit of this wine and food is the biggest. Ruge admires the person who wants to make money by making money like Pinhualou.It's a pity that who is the big boss behind Pinhualou seems to be a mystery, and she has never had the chance to meet.What a pity, what a pity. Ruge walked towards Fengge with rock sugar bird's nest soup, shaking her head regretfully.

Suddenly, a slender figure appeared in front of her. Ruge looked up and said pleasantly, "Sister Xiang'er, it's you, how are you doing these days?" Xiang'er smiled at her softly, with indescribable gratitude in her smile: "My mother has been buried, and things are done very decently." "That's great, sister, you can finally feel at ease!" "Sister Ge'er, thank you." Xiang'er looked at her, the sun slanted on her delicate chin, "But, is it really okay if you lend me all the money you got from selling yourself? I..."

Ruge quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, sister, you can use it with peace of mind! I don't need this money, and I don't need it! If my sister thinks this money is not enough, I can get some more for you..." "No need. After finishing my mother's funeral, I don't have any money left." Xiang'er said solemnly, "Sister, I will definitely return the money to you." Ru Ge wanted to tell her that she didn't have to return it, but she thought about it, knowing that Xiang'er, who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, would not accept her kindness, so she just smiled and changed the subject. "Sister Xiang'er, Aunt Hua arranged for you to serve Miss Fenghuang?" Ruge asked curiously, "I heard that Miss Fenghuang is very arrogant, will you endure hardship?" Xiang'er lowered her head and didn't answer for a while. Ruge stared at her, slowly frowning.She put down the tray in her hand, approached Xiang'er, looked at her neck carefully, took a breath, and said in surprise: "Why is there a wound on your neck?! It seems that someone dug it out with nails!" Xiang'er hurriedly covered the wound, and said with sad eyes: "No, I accidentally caught it myself." "You're lying," Ru Ge raised her mouth, "Why did you lie to me, aren't we good sisters?" "I……" Ruge patted her on the shoulder: "If you have anything to tell me, even though I'm just a little girl, it's always good for more people to come up with ideas." Xiang'er wanted to cry, she was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly. Wind Court. The spring day outside the window is warm and the willows are green. The beauty in the window is like jade, dressing in the mirror. Ru Ge picked out a pure sapphire blue pearl hairpin from the jewelry box, and inserted it obliquely on the slender and elegant cloud temples. It matched with her pink and blue gauze skirt, which was as elegant and simple as an unearthly fireworks. fairy. Feng Xixi looked left and right in satisfaction, and he was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear: "Ge'er, you are really good at crafting, you have dressed me up so beautifully! Recently, guests say that I seem to be a different person, seven times more beautiful than before. Eight points!" "Miss just loves to joke," Ru Ge said with a smile, "You are a great beauty in the first place. It is natural for you to become more and more beautiful. What does it have to do with me?" "Bah, little girl, your mouth is too sweet to die for!" Feng Xixi couldn't help but fly towards her with winking eyes. Ruge picked up the jade bowl and said, "Miss, drink some bird's nest soup with rock sugar, it can beautify your complexion." Feng Xixi took it over, hesitant: "But, will I gain weight? Other girls are so slender and slender, I seem a little too plump." Ruge opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "You are called plump like this?" She shook her head disapprovingly, "But I think Miss's figure is slender and fit, even a little thin. There are indeed some girls in the building who are very slender and slender, just Like Miss Youlan, but don’t you think that because she is too thin, her complexion is dull and dull, no matter how much powder she puts on, she can’t brighten her whole body, which is not good-looking. If she is in better health, her complexion will be much better. It will be very beautiful! What's more, if you are healthy and healthy, you can enjoy happiness in this life!" Listening carefully to her words, Feng felt a sudden heat in his chest. His heart, which had become a little numb after several years in the industry, was warmed and moved by someone's care. She quietly drank the bird's nest soup with rock sugar, raised her head, and smiled at Ru Ge: "I must thank Mrs. Hua when I have the chance." "...?" "Thank you for sending me such a caring girl." She took Ruge's hand, smiling like an apricot blossom in the spring breeze, "I like you very much, Geer." Ruge blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Miss, I like you very much too. You are very kind and kind to me. It is my good fortune to be by your side." At this moment, she thought of the scar on Xiang'er's neck. scratches. Willows dance with the wind. Feng Xixi leaned against the carved wooden window, holding Ruge's hand, and did not let go for a long time. She stared carefully at the girl who suddenly came to her side, thinking about something, and finally, she said softly: "Ge'er, do you know that I don't want to be a brothel girl for the rest of my life." Ru Ge nodded. Feng Xixi clenched her hand even tighter and said, "So, can you help me?" "...?" Feng looked carefully at the blue sky outside the window, smiling like pear blossoms in the spring breeze: "Help me, and get into the top three rankings in Pinhualou!" Pinhua Building lobby. In the most conspicuous place hangs a large list made of pure gold, which is shining golden, attracting every guest who enters to look up. This is Pinhualou's list of stunning famous flowers. From top to bottom, it is the seating times of the top ten most popular famous flowers in Pinhualou that month. It's not the time to welcome guests, only Ru Ge, who is dressed in red, is looking up and admiring under the golden list! Wonderful! excellent! Ru Ge guessed what kind of genius came up with this good idea. People in the world have a wonderful psychology.The more famous flowers are sought after by everyone, the more they want to pick them off and enjoy them. What's more, in a famous brothel like Pinhualou, if they can be ranked among the top three, they will of course have the status of looking down on everyone. Who wouldn't want to see it? beauty.Therefore, every time the price of the top girl on Pinhualou's Stunning Famous Flower List is so high that it makes people dumbfounded. Moreover, stimulated by the rankings and driven by the benefits brought by the rankings, all the girls are also desperately trying to sell all kinds of treasures, competing for beauty, and no one dares to neglect the slightest. (Because the number of seats on the ranking list changes every month, if something goes wrong, it may drop several places in a row, or even drop off the list.) The girls will naturally become more and more beautiful in the competition, the standards of the famous ladies on the list will naturally increase, the guests will naturally flock to them more and more, and the business of Pinhualou will naturally become better and better! "Brilliant! Genius!" Ru Ge was so full of praise that his head almost hit the ground. "What are you doing, girl?" When Aunt Hua came out of the side hall, she saw Ru Ge giggling in a daze. "Hi, Aunt Hua!" Ruge turned around and saluted her, then looked at the gold list and asked, "Auntie, who came up with this list?" "big boss." "Big Boss?!" Ru Ge's eyes lit up, she grabbed the aunt's sleeves, and asked repeatedly, "Who is the big boss? Why doesn't everyone say anything?" Aunt Hua looked up at the gold list ecstatically, and said after a while: "It's not that she doesn't want to say it, it's that she doesn't know." "Ah? So mysterious?" Ruge was very disappointed. "Perhaps," Aunt Hua pondered, "only Miss Qiangwei knows who it is." Ruge knows Miss Qiangwei, she is the manager of Pinhualou.But Miss Qiangwei seldom showed up, she only saw her once from a distance, she only saw her profile, she couldn't see clearly, but she also felt that she was as graceful as a bamboo, with a noble temperament, different from other flowers. "Could Miss Qiangwei actually be the boss of Pinhualou?" Ruge boldly guessed. Aunt Hua shook her head and said, "It's not like that." "why?" "Because..." Aunt Hua suddenly woke up, stretched out her hand and flicked Ru Ge's head vigorously, "You damn girl, why are you asking so many questions!" She glared at Ruge bitterly, turned around and wanted to leave.It's strange, how could she talk about this with a little girl unknowingly. Ru Ge hurriedly grabbed her sleeve again: "Ma'am, don't go, I still have something to ask you!" "No time!" "Ma'am the best..." Ruge begged softly. Aunt Hua took a deep breath, but she could not harden her heart after all. "Say it." Ruge smiled all over his face: "May I ask, how did you come up with the ranking of this stunning famous flower ranking?" "Pretty, service and popularity." "Oh..." Ruge suddenly realized, and clapped her hands, "It makes sense, it makes sense... But, it's not right..." She had a new question. "What's wrong?" "The so-called beautiful eyes, our lady is ranked seventh this month, but her appearance is not inferior to the purple dragonfly girl who is ranked fifth, and I even think she is more beautiful than the third-ranked girl Youlan, Yan Thin and fat, it's difficult to judge who is more beautiful; and when it comes to service, the Phoenix girl who ranks fourth frequently yells at guests and speaks harshly, so why shouldn't she be ranked above our lady?" Aunt Hua laughed and said, "You don't understand that. The most popular tone is brutal and pungent at the moment. A little wild cat like Fenghuang just suits the appetite of many customers. You can't accept it." "Huh? Like this?" It turns out that every industry must firmly grasp the pulse of fashion. "However, what you said is not bad." Aunt Hua looked at her approvingly. "It is difficult to judge the quality of beauty and service fairly, so this list is mainly based on popularity." "Popularity?" "Yes. And this popularity doesn't just refer to who has more customers, but more importantly, it depends on the status of the guests. Just like Qu Youyou, she can sit in the sixth seat because Liu Shangshu took a fancy to her a month ago Going so fast. Do you understand?" Ruge blinked and smiled. I see! It seems that in order to help Feng Xixi enter the top three, it is not enough to just dress up well, it is necessary to find important guests is the shortcut! Next question── Where to find important customers? Ru Ge started to have a headache. It is the first day of junior high school. Just entered the night. However, there was an unusual aura secretly surging in Pinhualou. Wind Court. Ruge put the veil on Fengxiu carefully, and asked curiously: "Miss, do you feel that something is not quite right these days?" Feng's thin and beautiful face was covered by a smoky white gauze, like a dream, appearing mysterious and alluring.She admired herself in the bronze mirror, and said casually: "It's like this every month. On the first and fifteenth day of the new year, many girls and their girls in the building will become like thieves, eavesdropping and peeking around, thinking Find out how other people do it." Ru Ge is even more curious: "Method? What method?" "Naturally, it's the way to attract men." Feng glanced at her carefully, and seeing that she still didn't understand, he explained patiently, "You have only been here for a short time, no wonder you don't know many things. The first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year is the time when the most guests are concentrated, and it is also the best time for girls to show their looks and talents. As long as you can seize this opportunity and be eye-catching, your social status and reputation will be greatly improved. If If we can take advantage of this opportunity to attract one or two high-status guests, we can fly up to the branches and laugh at everyone." Ruge suddenly realized: "That's it. I understand! So all the girls want to know what other people are doing to dress up, whether they are better than themselves, and try their best to overwhelm all the flowers tonight and catch the hottest guest! "Then, she should no longer have to worry about how to find important guests to raise Feng Xixi's status. Great! She breathed a sigh of relief. But- "How do you attract a man?" She humbly asks for advice. Feng Xiaoxi smiled wryly: "This is the most difficult part." Ruge pricked up his ears and listened carefully. "A man's heart, a sea needle, is really hard to figure out." There is a sigh... Huh?This sentence is generally used to talk about women, is it the same for men? "Every customer has different tastes, some like shy, some like slutty, some like indifferent... However, every time you appear on stage, you can only dress in one way, just like betting on a bet If you're lucky, you'll be on top, if you're not lucky, you can only watch your good guests get snatched away by other girls." "Then what to do?" "It's just a gamble." Feng Xixi suddenly smiled: "However, if you want to gamble, you can't gamble unprepared. I have done some homework." "...?" "The most eye-catching guest tonight should be──" Ru Ge opened her eyes wide, waiting for her to continue. Feng gently caressed his beautiful face under the white gauze, which was like smoke and mist, and said in a low voice: "──The young master of the city without swords in the world, Dao, Wu, Xia." Flawless? Just hearing the name makes people feel that he must be a wonderful character. Feng Xixi pondered and said: "I have heard that Dao Wuxia has a noble character, and I probably wouldn't like a woman who looks at her charmingly, but she is blindly noble and reserved, and I am afraid that he will no longer be surprised if he sees a lot. Therefore, I am dressed up today, singing Do you think it fits?" Ruge looked at the wind carefully. She is wearing a soft silk white dress with clear white gauze, her hair is pulled up in a high bun, simple and unpretentious, with only a white suet hairpin inserted obliquely, she is graceful and graceful, like a beautiful fairy in the morning mist. "Miss, you are so amazingly beautiful!" Ruge praised, and then asked in puzzlement, "But why did you use white gauze to cover your face?" Feng Xixi sneered at her: "Little girl, don't you know that men are very cheap by nature, the more obscure you are, the more he wants to see your face. I think this knife flawless should be no exception. .” Yeah?Men are cheap by nature? ! Ru Ge was shocked and speechless. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt that Feng's thin face was shrouded in white gauze, like a peony in the mist, looming, beautiful, and cute to find out, really captivating! Seeing Ruge staring at him obsessively, Feng Xixi couldn't help feeling complacent, patted her on the head, and said, "It's getting late, it's time for us to go out." "Yes." Ruge replied, suddenly, she had another question, and blurted out: "Miss, why are there so many customers on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year?" In the middle of the lobby of Pinhua Building, there is a pavilion made of green bamboo. The green bamboos are the fence, the curtains hang lightly, the quaint incense burner, and the gentle and quiet fragrance seems to be able to overwhelm the atmosphere of the wine and vegetables in the building, and brighten people's hearts. A green bamboo piano case. A guqin. The man in white sat with a long body, quietly playing the piano. The sound of the piano is gurgling. Like a small stream flowing out of a high mountain, the bottom is crystal clear, the water waves are clear, and the pebbles at the bottom of the stream are shining, as if every stone has its own little joy and little sadness... All the guests in Pinhualou were silent. The eyes of the guests were all focused on the man in white, fascinated, trapped in the sound of his piano, unable to control themselves, as if falling into a refreshing illusion. Only then did Ruge understand. She had been wondering why there was a bamboo platform in the lobby, which took up a lot of space but was useless.It turned out that the bamboo platform was specially reserved for the man in white, and no one else could use it.It turns out that men in white clothes only come here to perform on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, so the popularity of Pinhualou is the most prosperous on these two days of each month. he- Could it be the legendary Qin Sheng? It's a pity that Yi Ruge can only see the back of the man in white, but not his face.But even from the back, it looks clean, elegant and clean like a fairy. Feng Xixi told her that his name was Youqinhong. Persuading Youqinhong is exactly a task that Ruge must face.This task was naturally entrusted to her by Feng Xixi.Only succeed, not fail.This is what Feng Xixi asked of her. However, looking at the back of the man in white, Ru Ge's heart suddenly thumped. The guests listened attentively to Youqinhong's music. The girls in Pinhualou are secretly looking at the guests in the hall. There are thirty-six tables in the lobby. Among them, there are nine large round tables of top-quality rosewood red lacquer, and twenty-seven of high-quality carved square tables.Each red sandalwood round table is served by a servant and a maid; each carved square table is served by only a servant.The silver to order a rosewood round table is ten times more than the silver to order a carved square table.And if you only have money but not enough status, for example, if you are just a wealthy local rich man, no matter how much money you pay, Pinhualou would rather leave the red sandalwood table empty than let you sit on it. The guests who are qualified to sit on the rosewood table have unquestionable wealth and status. Therefore, the eyes of the girls in Pinhualou are mostly focused on the guests at the nine rosewood tables. Especially the one closest to the Green Bamboo Pavilion. There are three people at that table. Before entering the arena, Feng Xixi roughly told Ru Ge their names and characteristics. The most eye-catching is a young man, he is dressed in brocade clothes and a jade belt, with a golden crown and hair, a face like a jade crown, a handsome appearance, and a dignified temperament.It should be the hot spot in this field ─ ─ Knife Flawless. Not bad, Ru Ge nodded. Tianxia Wudaocheng is a sect second only to Liehuozhuang in the Jianghu, and there is a hidden momentum to sit on the second and look at the first.Dao Wuxia is the young lord who has no swords in the world, the future lord of the city, his martial arts can be called the best of the generation of young heroes, coupled with his extraordinary appearance and good reputation, it is also reasonable to become the focus of competition among all the flowers tonight. On Dao Wuxia's right hand is a younger man, he is slightly fatter, with a fair face, but dark eyes.He should be Dao Wuxia's younger brother Dao Wuhen.It's strange how the two brothers' appearances are so different. Ruge looked at Dao Wuxia's left hand── Ha, that's a woman. In principle, Pinhualou does not welcome female guests. However, if the status of the woman is "noble", or the status of the person who brought her in is "noble", accommodation can still be accommodated. (What? Someone asked about "lofty" standards? Figure it out for yourself.) Her name seems to be──Dao Liexiang, the only daughter of the Lord of Wudao in the World. Dao Liexiang doesn't look very feminine, her facial features are tougher, and there is a heroic look between her brows.She wasn't listening carefully to Youqin Hong's performance, but just picked up the wine glass and drank quietly by herself. OK, observation is over. Ruge retracted her gaze, looked at Feng Xixi who was sitting elegantly in front of her, and secretly hoped that everything would go well for her tonight and her wish would come true. wrong! Ru Ge suddenly felt that she had missed something, she suddenly raised her head, and looked at a corner of the lobby! Ordinary carved square table. There are only three ordinary side dishes on it, no wine, and the dishes have not been touched. There are two people at the table. A man about twenty-seven or eight years old, dressed in black, with light eyebrows, and narrow and narrow eyes, stood respectfully behind another man. It was a jade-like man. Dressed in a blue cloth, twenty-two or three years old, with a handsome appearance, eyes as warm as jade, and a faint brilliance between the brows, it is not eye-catching at first glance, but after a closer look, it is like a fascination, making people reluctant to look away . The man in Tsing Yi was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, and his legs seemed to be disabled.His hands were placed on his lap, clean and tidy, and on his left hand was a suet white jade finger ring, carved with patterns, because it was far away, it was hard to see clearly. When Ruge looked over, the man in Tsing Yi was also looking at her. The eyes of the two passed through the lobby full of guests. collision! The man in Tsing Yi smiled. The smile is like a beautiful jade with the aura of the sun and the moon, elegant and moist, it keeps crashing into Ruge's chest! Like a frightened deer, Ru Ge hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at him again, but her heart was already in a mess, and she forgot where she was for a moment. Green Bamboo Qintai. Youqin Hong raised his sleeves lightly, and the song ended. After the lingering sound lingered for a while, all the guests seemed to slowly wake up from the illusion. The cheers and praises swayed like waves, and the atmosphere reached a climax. Ru Ge has not recovered from the shock of seeing the man in Tsing Yi. You Qinhong left the stage. Ruge is still in a daze. Feng Xixi was a little anxious, secretly turned back and tugged at the corner of her clothes. Ruge blinked, oops, I almost forgot that I still have a heavy responsibility.She quickly made a reassuring gesture to Feng, then turned and left the lobby. The new moon is like an eyebrow. Starry. In the back garden of Pinhua Building, the landscape pavilions are surprisingly quiet, as if they are completely different from the hustle and bustle in the lobby. moonlight. Ruge raised his voice to the white Qingying in front of him and shouted: "Mr. Youqin, please wait." The figure in white was slightly slower, but did not stop. Ru Ge feared that he would walk away, so she hurriedly pulled up her skirt, ran all the way to catch up, and shouted while running: "Mr. Youqin, wait for me, I have something to ask for your help!" Youqin Hong frowned slightly, feeling a flame rushing towards him, stopping in front of him out of breath, blinking and blinking at him with big clear eyes. It turned out to be a little girl in red clothes. With a crystal clear face, a cute smile, and a crisp voice: "Mr. Youqin is good!" Ruge looked at Youqinhong with a smile. He is very thin, his brows seem to be used to wrinkling, and there are already shallow wrinkles.His eyes were distant, as if he didn't like being disturbed by others.Standing there, he looked like a pool of spring water that had been forgotten by the world for thousands of years, without waves, traces, love or hatred. "Mr. Youqin, I'm a girl from Pinhualou, and my name is Ge'er." "do not know." "Hehe, don't you know each other now?" She smiled innocently. "Go away." Ruge's smile collapsed, and he said in frustration: "Sir, don't you know that it takes courage to talk to strangers? You are so cold, it will greatly damage my confidence in interacting with people in the future." "It has nothing to do with me." For the girls in Pinhualou, don't they receive "strangers" every day?What kind of joke is this little girl talking about? "I'm new here." Ruge squeezed out a "miserable" expression, hoping to win his sympathy.However, it seems useless. Then, she decided to go straight to the point── "Our lady asks you to accompany her with a song." Yes, this is Feng Xixi's "perfect" plan. Feng Xixi is good at dancing. A talented scholar once wrote a poem, praising her for her graceful dancing posture, such as "the breeze helps the weak willows, and the colorful butterflies play with the lotus".On such an occasion tonight, she will naturally dance a song to attract the attention of all the guests.However, she is not the only one who is outstanding in dancing in Pinhualou. Mint girl, purple dragonfly girl and Xiangtao girl are also outstanding.If you want to get the top salary, you must use a unique trick! Let Youqinhong accompany her! Everyone knows that You Qinhong is aloof and lofty, and has always been unwilling to make peace with others.If he can be persuaded and asked for his help, Feng Xixi can take advantage of his reputation and become the most eye-catching highlight in the audience. However, it is extremely difficult to convince Youqinhong. Feng Xixi can only succeed by gambling on Ruge. (Strange to say, she is very confident in Ru Ge.) Ruge and Youqinhong are standing in the back garden. Suddenly there was a sound of silk and bamboo from the direction of the lobby, and a woman sang melodiously and lowly, with lingering meanings and touching. She knew that now the competition among the girls in the Pinhua Building to compete for talent and show off their talents had already begun.Feng Xixi must be waiting for her good news.So, she must succeed! She begged in a low voice: "Please, Mr. Youqin, play a piece of music for our lady, it doesn't need to be very long, it will end soon!" "Dream." He walked around her and wanted to leave. Ruge grabbed his arm and said anxiously: "Please promise me!" Her palm was very hot, through the clothes, ironing the crook of his right arm. Youqin Hong was slightly taken aback. Then, throwing her away, he said angrily, "Presumptuous!" "Okay, promise me." Ruge stuck out her tongue, put her hands behind her back, and continued to work unyieldingly. Youqin Hong was troubled for a while. She had already let go of her hand, why did he still feel the fire in the crook of his arm, as if he had been branded by her. "As long as you promise me, I can give you a wish." The moonlight shone down softly, and Ruge smiled like an elf fairy, as if solemnly waiting for him to make a wish. "I have no wishes." "Impossible. Everyone has a wish. You must have one too." Youqin Hong sneered. "Even if there is, you can't achieve it." Ruge smiled cutely: "That's not necessarily the case. You must not underestimate anyone in the world, everyone's energy may be infinite." "Is it a deal?" As soon as Ruge stepped back to Pinhualou with one foot, her eyeballs almost fell out. God, what is Miss Lily doing? ! Lily's pink face was full of spring, her almond eyes were slightly narrowed, her red lips were slightly parted, and she was wearing a delicate yellow tulle silk dress that was half-faded lazily, falling on the floor.Her pink shoulders were bare, her chest was open, her bright yellow tube top was clearly visible, and her delicate white cleavage trembled seductively. Could this be the "striptease" that Feng Xixi had told her, but she hadn't had the chance to see it yet? ! Ruge opened his eyes wide, almost stopped breathing. Lily danced charmingly, with her slender waist swaying like a spirit fish in water, lightly taking off the few clothes left with one hand, and stroking her milk-like chest with the other, accompanied by the music of the musicians, all the way to Dao Wuxia and the three of them. The table is OK! Ruge stood behind Huifeng Xixi, said in a low voice, "It's done." Feng nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Let's watch the show first." The lily danced like flying flowers in the nine heavens, and suddenly, like a butterfly with broken wings, it fell on Dao Wuxia's body like a lost soul. Pinhualou was amazed! Almost all the guests stared at Dao Wuxia with envious eyes, wishing to change themselves into him, so that they could have such a blessing. but- Dao Wuxia's face was straightened, his brows were furrowed, he stood up with a "huo", and abruptly threw Lily to the ground! "what!" Many guests stood up in shock, no way, such a spoiled beauty. "idiot." Feng Xixi sneered inaudibly. Ru Ge knew what she meant.On such a public occasion, and Wudao City in the World always pays attention to decency and rules, it is impossible for Lily to use an almost obscene striptease to seduce Dao Wuxia, but she will not succeed. Perhaps, this is also Lily's bet?With Lily's beauty, she is mostly above the middle in the Pinhua Tower, and her ranking has been hovering around the top 20. If she wants to be famous, she has to win.The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief.Unfortunately, Lily failed.So she became an idiot. But Lily was still smiling coquettishly, she jumped onto Dao Wuxia's body like a spirit snake again, her fingertips like white onions caressed his thighs, and slowly and softly walked upstream. Zhu Lip murmured: "Master Dao..." Since she has already gambled, she must gamble completely! the other side. Ruge looked at Lily who was still striving for it, and felt a sudden sadness in her heart. She thought of a boy in the distance. That boy has black and blue curly hair, dark and blue eyes, and a blue gem in his right ear.She suddenly wanted to know if he had missed her during the time she was gone. Unconsciously, she went to look at the man in Tsing Yi again. The man in Tsing Yi was staring at her. He seemed to be staring at her all the time, with a hint of worry in his eyes. This time, the knife did not move in time. What moved was Dao Liexiang! She grabbed Lily's long hair and slapped her across the face twice. Lily's cheeks suddenly swelled up, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth! "Bitch!" Dao Liexiang sneered coldly, "You like taking off your clothes to seduce men, don't you? Okay, grandma will let you take off today!" "Brush---" Lily's clothes were torn into pieces by Dao Liexiang, and in an instant, only the bright yellow tube top and panties remained! "No!" Lily curled up her naked body in horror, her delicate white body trembling in the spring night. Dao Liexiang snorted coldly: "There are still some bits and pieces, let's take them off together!" Reach out and grab Lily's tube top! Ruge felt a mouthful of hot blood rushing to her throat! Clenching your fists and wanting to drink── A black dress flew up in the air. It fluttered over the heads of the crowd and covered the trembling and frightened Lily. Like grabbing a life-saving straw, Lily wrapped her body tightly with it, tears welled up on the black skirt. Dao Liexiang was furious! The phoenix eyes widened and stared towards the right corner of the hall, and saw a light-eyed man wearing only a jacket, with a neither humble nor overbearing expression. The black clothes on Lily's body were obviously thrown by him, and he couldn't help shouting angrily: "You are so courageous──" "Sister!" But Dao Wuhen suddenly stopped her scolding, with a surprised look on his fat face, he gave Dao Wuxia a wink. In a blink of an eye, he already recognized that the man with pale eyebrows and fine eyes was Xuan Huang! Xuan Huang is not scary. What's scary is Lie Volcano. In today's world, everyone has heard a sentence. The fire in the world, the dark river in the underworld. Liehuozhuang is firmly in the top spot of the white way, while the underground river organization is the leader of the green forest underworld. The two forces have been fighting openly and secretly for more than ten years, and there have been 78 battles of all sizes. A total of 726 people were killed and 1,000 were injured on both sides. 918 people, 145 missing. However, nineteen years ago, the Underworld Organization suddenly seemed to have evaporated from the world, without any movement or news, and disappeared overnight in Jianghu. Since then, Liehuozhuang has no rivals. A few years later, Liehuozhuang will be equal to the martial arts world. Lie Mingjing, the owner of Liehuoshan Village, has three disciples. Among them, Yu Zihan, the second disciple, seldom walks in the rivers and lakes, and few people know him. The pigeon team in Tianxia Wudao City has not collected much information about him. 玉自寒，二十二岁，自幼双耳失聪，双腿残废，常穿青衫，容貌温润如玉，左手一枚羊脂白玉扳指。相传他有六个随仆，青圭、赤璋、白琥、玄璜、黄琮、苍璧，其中，玄璜与黄琮为世人所多见。 刀无痕正是认出了玄璜。 Pinhua Building. 静悄悄。 乐师忘记了奏乐。 宾客忘记了呼吸。 他们或兴奋或好奇或担心地等待着情势的变化。 刀无暇一振锦袍，玉面露出喜容，几个大步便行到那雕花木桌前，对木轮椅中的青衣清俊男子，一揖到地，朗声恭敬道：“天下无刀城刀无暇见过玉公子！” 话未落，他便觉不妥，这玉自寒是个聋子，如何听得他说些什么，恐有不敬之嫌。但如何与聋子沟通，一时间又想不出好法子，竟有些怔在那里。 这时，有一股柔和如春风的力道轻轻将他的身子托起，刀无暇不敢违逆，顺着这股力道抬起头来。 玉自寒的双目。 恬淡而安适，象灵山秀水间沉静的温玉。 玄璜道：“刀公子，说话时请面对我家少爷，少爷自会知道你在说什么。”说着，他从怀中掏出一方纸，和一支做工精细的碳笔，摆在桌上。 刀无暇心道，莫非玉自寒习得唇语，能从口型知晓话语内容，这倒需小心了。边想，他边对玉自寒抱拳连声致歉，道：“在下小妹年少气盛，行事不知轻重，让玉公子见笑了，回去必当严加管教。” 玉自寒在纸上淡如轻烟般写道：“令妹天真，不必多责。” 刀无暇松口气，道：“是。” 玄璜道：“这青楼女子举止放荡，确有失礼之处，刀姑娘看不下去亦在情理之中。但凡事应适可而止。” 刀无暇道：“多谢教诲。” 玉自寒微微摇头，叫他不必如此客气。 这边，风细细暗想，这位玉公子不知何方神圣，竟能使得名震天下的无暇公子如此谦恭以待。只可惜，这秀玉般的人儿竟似又聋又哑又残，可见上天是见不得人完美的。 如歌却一直注意着被众人遗忘的百合。 百合彻底失败了，她娇艳的脸庞上满是狼狈的泪渍，十指死死抓紧身上的黑色衣裳，一个劲儿不住地颤抖。终于，她从地上爬起来，踉跄着要离开这个带给她羞辱的地方，没有人看她，她希望能静悄悄地退场。 她低下头，咬紧牙，不想看见楼里其他姑娘嘲讽的表情。但是，当她经过时，依然听到了香桃的讥笑、曲悠悠的冷哼、薄荷飞白眼的动静、柳絮唾口水的声音……忽然，一只脚平空横出来，绊在她的身前！ 百合慌乱间哪里来得及去躲闪，左腿一弯，身子失去平衡就往地上跌，她伸手想去抓个东西，却又被人推了一把，惊慌中忙抬眼，一张跋扈得意地脸，是凤凰，平日里她与她井水不犯河水，为何要落井下石？ ! 百合止不住坠跌的势头，身子摔下去，她闭上眼睛，胸中一片阴冷漆黑，她恨！每个人都在努力向上爬，可以用各种手段，只要能成功！她无非是选了一个错误的方法，为何就要落入被人嘲笑和践踏的深渊，她恨！ 一双温暖的小手。 百合没有跌在冰凉的地上，有一双温暖的小手从身后抱住了她的腰，将她用力地扶了起来，稳稳地站在使脚绊她的凤凰旁边。 凤凰恼怒有人扫了她的兴，低头“呸”一口，啐在百合衣角，骂道：“贱货！” 百合好似没有听见，也没有回头看一下是谁扶起了她，僵直着身子，径直走出了品花楼，走入外面的夜色中。 如歌垂首站回风细细身后，心里说不出是什么感觉。 风细细扭头瞪了她一眼，以手帕掩口，轻叱道：“那种贱人，理她做什么，找一身麻烦。” 如歌不语。 “你身手倒蛮快，一溜烟就窜到那贱人后面，使得是什么功夫？”风细细狐疑道，忽然觉得自己对歌儿好象也不甚了解。 如歌向场中望了望，说道：“小姐，幽兰姑娘的书画表演马上就要结束了，你是否要接着上场。” 风细细连忙整整衣裙，理好面纱，再顾不得追问如歌。 品花楼内。 有琴泓正在奏琴。 风细细正在起舞。 没有人注意到少了个丫头。 后花园中。 月色淡极。 古琴之声传来，悠悠谦和，平淡雅致。 如歌仰首望着幽蓝的夜空，风，吹动她红色的衣裳，烈烈向后扬起。因为无人，她洁白的小脸上有淡淡的忧伤。 有人经过，惊扰了她。 那人手拿一只小包袱，背脊挺得极直，面容艳丽而冷峻。 如歌叹息道：“为何要走呢？” 热热闹闹的桃花树开在那人身边，花影映在她脸上，映得她左右两颊被掌掴的痕迹通红骇人。她瞪住如歌，眼中有凌厉的恨意，半晌，道：“留下来，让你们侮辱嘲笑吗？” “你有勇气在众人面前挑逗刀无暇，却没有勇气面对些闲言碎语？” “不一样。” "What's the difference?" 百合冷笑：“我为什么要对你说！” 如歌凝视她，平静道：“因为我刚才帮了你，让你没有摔倒在凤凰脚下。” 百合又冷笑：“你以为我会感谢你？” “你会。”如歌微笑，“如果被凤凰那种女人侮辱，很丢人。” 百合眼中闪过抹奇异的光芒，唇角扯出讥笑：“不错，我再下贱也比母狗凤凰强一百倍。” Under the peach tree. 百合摸着脸上火辣辣的掌痕，恨声道：“在品花楼，只凭我的姿色想要出众，难如登天。我不甘心等到人老珠黄再没生意了，还攒不下可供一辈子花用的金银。这是次机会，我必须把握住，只要能攀上刀无暇，定能掏出个金山银矿来，他有权有势，往后也再没人敢欺负我。我当然要拼一把！呸，她们都觉得刀无暇定是喜欢假惺惺的大家闺秀，便一个劲儿扮清高。可笑，真喜欢正经人家的闺女还来青楼做什么？！凡来青楼的都是贱胚，都喜欢看女人脱、看女人浪荡！我偏偏和她们不一样！我索性就脱给他看！” “可是，你失败了。”如歌提醒她。 百合一怔，闭上眼睛，然后，冷道：“所以我走。” "Where are you going?" “换个名字，从新开始。”百合眼光黯然，“今夜一过，品花楼里百合的名字就会沦为人笑柄，变得臭不可闻。我，不得不走。” “还做这行？” “我有别的本事吗？” “我认识一些朋友，他们或许可以帮你找……” “算了，”百合打断她，“一朝青楼人，终生青楼鬼，我再也做不了其他的行当。再说，你若真有路子，又怎会进了品花楼？” 如歌望着桃花树下双颊殷红、眼神阴厉的百合，无奈道：“那，祝你好运。” 百合冷笑：“好运是靠自己争取的。” “你说的对，”如歌点头，从怀中摸出一只白色的小瓷瓶，递到她手中，“这是治疗淤伤的灵药，抹在脸上，一个时辰后印痕便会消失，这样，无论你到哪里争取到好运的机会都会大些。” 百合凝视她片刻，将瓷瓶收入怀中，转身离开。 从此，品花楼再无名叫百合的女子。 古琴声止。 品花楼内掌声、喝彩声如雷。 如歌悄悄回到了大堂中，知道风细细在有琴泓的帮助下，终于抢得了个满堂彩，风头之劲，让其他姑娘为之侧目。 风细细娇声细喘，白纱遮掩下的脸颊娇媚粉红，她妩媚的美目飞快地遍巡全场，见众宾客皆如痴如醉地关注着她，不由喜不自禁，却立刻坐得更端庄些，摆出天山之雪凛然不可侵犯之姿。 如歌轻声道：“小姐，恭喜你，今晚的花魁非你莫属。” 风细细嗔她一眼，心中满是欣喜。 这时，场中忽然站起一人。 她内着葱绿团花紧身绸裙，外罩桃红透明轻纱，杏眸挑眉，五官艳丽绝伦，神态张扬娇纵，正是品花楼当月排名第四位的凤凰姑娘。 凤凰高声笑道：“怎么姐妹们今晚这等没出息，尽是唱歌跳舞作画的，一点新鲜的东西也没有，别让客人们都瞌睡着了！让我给大家来一段惊险刺激的提提兴致，如何啊？” "it is good!!" Applause everywhere! 品花楼的其他姑娘们却都侧目瞪她。 凤凰要表演的是百步飞刀！ 为了更加刺激好看，她命丫头香儿在远处站好，头顶放一只苹果，来充当靶子。可是香儿以前哪里干过这种事情，吓得面如土色，双腿颤抖，头上的苹果也随之晃来晃去，让凤凰无法瞄准。 凤凰恼了，劈手一记耳光：“没用的家伙，不许抖，再抖我射穿你的脑袋！” 香儿的泪珠儿扑簌簌下来，闭上眼睛，不敢说话。 那边刀冽香却忍不住了，骂道：“喂，你欺负个小姑娘算什么，为什么要打她！” 凤凰双手叉腰，嘲笑道：“怎么，兴你大小姐抽人耳光，我就不可以？！再说，这是我自己的丫头，爱打爱骂关你屁事！” 刀冽香气得险些昏厥，怒喝道：“我方才是在收拾贱人，你却是要一个可怜的小丫头陪你玩命，怎能一样？” “可怜？！”凤凰伸手拧住香儿的脸蛋儿，拧得煞白，“香儿，你说，你怎么可怜了，我是不给你吃还是不给你穿？！只是让你顶个苹果，就哭得象泪人儿，好象有人虐待你，存心让我丢脸对不对？！” 香儿咬牙忍住泪花，哽咽道：“奴婢不敢。” 凤凰白刀冽香一眼，道，“听见没有，这是我们主仆间的事儿，与外人无关！” "you!" 刀冽香哪里受过这等气，立时就要出手教训她，却被人拉住。用力去甩，甩不开，这才发现阻止她的是大哥刀无暇。 刀无暇含笑道：“这位姑娘，即使她是你的丫头，随意打骂怕也不妥。” 凤凰竟好象对他完全不感兴趣，冷哼道：“只要她是我的丫头，就用不着你管！” 刀无暇望了望远处静坐的玉自寒，见他神情温和，目中似有赞许之色，心中不由一喜，摇扇轻笑道：“如果我买下她呢？”
