Wanqingsi

Chapter 20 Undercurrent
When I think of Mingyan's focused eyes, fiery kiss, and domineering declaration that I am his possession, I can't help but laugh from the bottom of my heart.Seeing my silly smile, Xiaohong called me curiously: "Girl? Girl? What are you laughing at?"

"Eh?" I came back to my senses, and smiled lightly, "It's nothing, you go and prepare lunch, I'm hungry."

This little red is now my maid, and after getting in touch with her a few days ago, I also know a little bit about her life experience.A year ago, Xiaohong's parents died, and she was sold to Yihonglou by her elder brother and sister-in-law. Before that, she was looking for death and life. Yueniang gave her some money, burned her contract of selling herself, and let her go back.Two days later, she came back by herself, with a calm expression on her face, and she didn't say anything about what happened after returning home. Since then, she stayed in Yihonglou with all her heart, and regarded Yueniang as her reborn parents.This girl is smart and very good at observing words and expressions, but she is only 13 years old. The biggest setback she encountered in her life was probably being sold by her brother and sister-in-law. Although she regards Yueniang as a benefactor, she still treats me respectfully, treating me as her master.I changed my initial rudeness to her and intended to lure her to talk. After all, I was a child. Seeing that my attitude towards her had improved, I also wanted to get close to her. However, I also got a lot of world affairs from the Tianzhao Dynasty, including the previous ones. Version of the gossip about me.

Xiao Hong has a childish personality, she doesn't take rumors seriously, but instead looks adoring, thinking that I am a particularly capable master.I can quite understand her thinking, it is nothing more than the master attaining the Tao and the chicken and dog ascending to heaven.I sympathize with her life experience, and I don't take her little thoughts as disobedience. Fortunately, she also abides by her duty, and she is not a person who is prone to trouble.In my mind, I sorted out the information I learned from Xiaohong, and I have a general understanding of this time and space.There are four countries in this time and space. The largest country in the center is the Tianzhao country where I am now. It is rich in products, the country is rich and the people are strong. The world and the people are really similar to the Tang Dynasty in my time. , the current emperor in power is named Jun Beiyu, a young emperor who has been on the throne for less than a year; to the west is the Yaoyue Kingdom, a nomadic people on the grasslands, the people are fierce and sturdy, and often invade the borders of the western border; to the north is the Chenxing Kingdom, most of them The country is in a world of ice and snow. It is said that their people make a living by hunting and logging, and their life is extremely difficult. They are also eyeing the vast and abundant Tianzhao Kingdom, and occasionally invade it. This time, General Ji Jingyun won the battle from the northern border. Come back; there is an island country called Red Sun Country in the east sea. Although the country is not big, the people are short and ugly, but they are cunning and vicious. They often pretend to be pirates and sneak into the border of Tianzhao East Sea, robbing fishing villages, kidnapping them, and being hated by the people of Tianzhao Country. They are called "Japanese pirates"; the south is a barren land without a country, but there are some alien races who are good at poisonous insects.

I sighed in my heart, it seems that this Tianzhao Kingdom is like a group of wolves staring at the fat.I shook my head. The richer you are, the more you will attract the envy of the poor countries around you. The people are so arrogant, which has something to do with the thoughts of the superiors. Sooner or later.I compared this place with the situation in my time and space in my heart, and found that the Yaoyue country is a bit like Mongolia, the Chenxing country is a bit like Russia, the wild land in the south is a bit like the southwestern Miaojiang, and the island country in the east is Hongri. Jap.Depend on!Not only did the behaviors remain the same, but even the name of the country was resembling the national flag of Japan. I was so angry that I regarded the red sun as a substitute for Little Japan, and cursed inwardly.

Then I thought of all the troubles caused by going on stage last night, and I sighed again.It's really a wave of ups and downs, and another wave.I'm not afraid of anything at Chu Shang's side anymore. Anyway, I'm the person hired by General Ji now, so I don't have to go to pick up the guests.

Although the idea of ​​running away has never been dispelled, since I don't have to be forced to sell myself, it is not so urgent. Things have evolved to this point, and running away is not the safest plan. If I run away, my life and death will never be the same again. It has nothing to do with Yihonglou, if something happens to me, Yihonglou doesn't have to explain anything to Ji Jingyun.If I can't guarantee the absolute safety of my escape, Chu Shang will definitely not find me, so what's the use of escaping?I weighed Chu Shang's power in the open and in the dark in my heart, and shook my head. I can't even figure out what kind of ghost door he is, and I don't know what the door is for. It's too easy to run away like this. I am irresponsible for my own life.

And that Mr. Yu..., when I think of him, my head hurts. I don't know what he intends to do when he wraps me up, but I feel faintly in my heart that this is a big tree. If I can grasp it tightly He, my future life will change a lot.I was thinking about whether I should tell Ji Jingyun and Young Master Yu that I am actually the daughter of Prime Minister Wei who was exterminated, the next time we meet, I wonder if they will believe me?If they believe me, I wonder if they will help me?
And the man in black, what does he have to do with me?Why did your eyes suddenly become shocked and confused when you saw me?This shows that he never expected to meet me here.He... Who the hell?

A tangle of tangled thoughts made me a little irritable.He simply shook his head and ignored it.If I don’t have to run away for a while, and I don’t have to pick up guests, it’s not just a matter of fulfilling my highest life ideal in my previous life, being a rice worm with nothing to do, but a rice worm imprisoned in a house without freedom. I stayed in the house for a long time, depressed I have to die, and I sigh in my heart, alas, it seems that people are really like the poem said, life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away.People who have never lost their freedom will definitely not experience this feeling.

I sighed, since I can’t be a promiscuous and idle rice worm, let’s be a hard-working rice worm. I remembered that I promised Aunt Jin to draw some tricks for her, so I should work hard to earn money, and I will have some money after I get out of the brothel. Yinliang was beside me, and I did it when I thought of it. I walked to the desk, sat down, and started to draw patterns.

I drew some normal flowers and plants, such as tulips and cosmos, which are never seen in this era. In fact, the shapes of these flowers can be colorful. Even the roses that Mrs. Jin has seen, I can still draw a few. There are ten different styles. Anyway, I was also a graphic designer in my previous life. Although my drawing skills are not as good as my brother Yezi's, I am better than ordinary people.After drawing a few pictures, I felt bored, and evil thoughts floated in my heart. I held back my laughter and drew a few pictures of cartoon piglets in Q version, each with a fat head and big ears, very funny and cute.Xiaohong came over with lunch, and when she saw the piggy I drew, she liked it very much: "Young lady, this painting is so unique, and the ugly and stupid piggy is drawn so cutely, it will definitely make the young masters and ladies in the capital like."

Seeing that she likes it so much, I smiled and said, "I'll give you two when Aunt Jin's samples are made."

"Really?" Her eyes lit up, and she smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "Thank you girl, she is so kind to Xiaohong, and she is the smartest and most capable person Xiaohong has ever met."

"Come on, stop flattering." I glanced at her and cursed with a smile, "Aren't you hungry? Sit down and eat together."

"Girl, how can I be so unruly and eat at the same table as the girl." Xiaohong hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head, looking terrified.Now I know the rules of relying on the red building, the popular girl cooks a small stove alone, and eats in her own room, while other girls, maids, thugs, and turtle slaves all sit around the table in the cafeteria.

"I don't have so many rules here." I put down my pen and said calmly, "Don't worry about Yueniang scolding you, now you are mine, you just do what I say."

"Thank you girl." Xiaohong was so moved that tears were about to fall.I smiled, Yueniang, I learned this trick from you, buying people's hearts, who wouldn't?

"Okay, let's have dinner." I patted her on the shoulder, turned around, and suddenly saw someone more in the room, startled.

Chu Shang?

when did he come inI looked at his expressionless face, smiled, and said softly, "Have Mr. Chu eaten lunch?"

He frowned, looked at me, and didn't speak.I didn't care about him, I turned my head to Xiaohong and said to Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Mr. Chu, and bring a pot of wine."

Xiaohong went out in response, and I sat down at the table, looked up to see that he was still standing upright, and said with a smile: "Young Master Chu, do you want to stand there forever?"

Chu Shang sat down silently, still not saying a word.I looked at his expressionless face, which was as handsome as a stone sculpture.He must be very angry now. Originally, I was his only confinement. He could want what he wanted from me. He wanted me to live as he wanted, and he wanted me to die as he wanted. His pet can be seen and touched, but he is no longer allowed to get his hands on it.This feeling of being out of control..., I laughed, I'm afraid it's not good.

Xiaohong brought the wine over, arranged the bowls and chopsticks, and exited the room cleverly.I put a wine glass in front of him, picked up the jug, and poured him a glass of wine.His eyes moved away from my face and fell out of the window, he took up his glass and drank it down, still speechless.I smiled lightly and filled it up for him again.Since I came to this world, the relationship between me and him has never been as peaceful as it is today. I don't care about the undercurrents under his calm appearance.I just feel that this kind of feeling is really not bad, I am standing in front of him, but he can only look at, the distance is only a few feet away, but he can't touch each other, as if the world is separated in his heart.Chu Shang, Chu Shang, in your heart now, have you ever regretted it?
He didn't speak all the time, he just drank the wine I poured him in silence. I poured a glass, and he drank a glass. If he didn't pour it, he didn't make trouble or move.His eyes stared out the window indifferently, and he never looked at me again until he fell drunk at his desk.I looked out of the window, the cool wind was blowing, and the luxuriant trees had become sparse and desolate in just a few days. I suddenly realized that summer had passed and autumn had come.
