Concubine like a house

Chapter 1 Passionate but always seems ruthless (1)
Nanxi, the imperial city of Jingzhou, the brothel Zuihualou.

Xia Feng gently lifted the curtain of the bed, revealing a jade arm and a bright wrist.The skin is like creamy fat, and the skin is as smooth as ice. One can imagine how beautiful this woman is.

But to the dismay of the scenery, the arm that should have been flawless was actually covered with deep and shallow scars, as if scratched by hairpins, some of which had already shed their scabs, and some were scarlet and glaring.

The little maid, Qin'er, was sitting by the bed, weeping, administering medicine to her master, and said sobbingly: "Miss, why do you torture yourself like this? Mr. Helian is getting married tonight, if he really cares How can you be bullied by that jealous woman?"

The woman with scars on her jade arm is named "Hanchu", she is fifteen years old, she is the number one oiran of Zuihualou, known as "Nanxi's No. [-] Beauty".

At this moment, this beauty was lying on the bed, looking haggard and paper-like.But the beautiful but not coquettish, gorgeous but not vulgar smoky posture is so outstanding, just like a white peony flower, so delicate that it can't be hidden.

Hearing the persuasion from the servant girl Qin'er, Han Chu didn't reply, but just stared at the top of the tent with dull eyes, lifeless.

Han Chu couldn't figure out why Mr. Helian, who had been in love with her a month ago, would suddenly abandon her, without even a half explanation, and only sent a servant to tell her that he wanted to marry her. married.

He was her first and only guest.I thought that the lingering and joyful love would never end, but now, those vows of eternal love have finally become a thing of the past.

It was He Lianqi who had waited in front of the small building for a full month, rain or shine, just to see her beauty.

It was Helen Qi who once spent a lot of money to find rare treasures to make her smile.

But now, it was Helen Qi who allowed her to be bullied wantonly by his fiancée.

The elegant man she looked at with full satisfaction, all that was left to her today were the hairpin scars all over his arms, and the vicious abuse of his fiancée.

Hanchu once thought that she had escaped the tragic fate of a brothel woman, but the fact is before her eyes, she still could not escape the curse of the eight characters—acting on every occasion and being ungrateful.

The darkness gradually engulfed the last sliver of the setting sun and brought a room of gloom.

The Zuihualou was very quiet tonight, because it was the day of the marriage between the Helian family of the Zanying family and the Ming family of the current dynasty. See the marriage of the two families.

Young Master Helian and Miss Ming Family, from now on, husband and wife are one body and have a solidarity with each other.And she, Han Chu, was just a lowly prostitute for entertainment before marriage, not even a concubine.

The wedding ceremony should begin now!When the long-endured wetness passed by his eyes, Han Chu was tired and tired, so he slowly closed his eyes...

"Click!" There was a crisp sound, and the medicine bottle in Qin'er's hand accidentally fell to the ground.She looked at Han Chu on the couch with wide eyes, and shouted in horror: "Miss! Miss! Wake up! Don't scare me!"

Perhaps the cry was too harsh, and Han Chu's long eyelashes flickered.She tried her best to open her eyes, but she couldn't resist the drowsy consciousness.

The sound of "squeaky" door opening sounded at this moment, and a charming woman about 30 years old hurried in.Seeing someone coming, Qin'er greeted him as if meeting a savior, and greeted: "Mother Feng."

This woman called "Mother Feng" is the madam of Zuihualou. Ten years ago, she was also a leader in Nanxi Fengyue field.

At this moment, Mother Feng has strode up to Hanchu's bed, stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, and immediately frowned and asked Qin'er: "Why are your hands so hot? How do you take care of her?"

Qin'er was quite aggrieved, and replied in a tearful tone: "It's Miss who refuses to invite a doctor..."

"Nonsense!" Feng's mother scolded Qin'er, and Feng caught a glimpse of the wound on Han Chu's arm, "Who did it?"

At this point, Qin'er did not dare to hide any more, and could only reply tremblingly: "It is... the fiancée wife of Mr. Helian, Miss Ming family."

Hearing this, Mother Feng's face flashed with distress, and she asked again: "How many times has she tortured Hanchu?"

"Three times before and after." The resentment in Qin'er's words was unbearable.

three times!This silly girl was insulted three times by Mingying's jealous wife!Mother Feng suddenly felt angry, like a female animal protecting a calf.However, in just a moment, she had already controlled her emotions well, and said in a deep voice to Qin'er: "Young Master Shen is drinking in the flower hall right now, go and invite him over."

Qin'er immediately took the order and left.

Mother Feng looked at Han Chu who was sleeping on the couch, and couldn't help sighing softly: "At the beginning you insisted on choosing He Lianqi, so I persuaded you. How can I welcome you through the door? I am afraid that even being a concubine is not enough status..."

Speaking of this, Mother Feng's tone was dark: "If you had listened to me and chose the Ninth Prince as the guest of honor, you would not have ended up so sad." Mother Feng was sighing to the bed, and suddenly heard the door open behind her. The sound rang again.

She turned around, just in time to see a lake blue robe entering the room - Mr. Shen has a face like a crown of jade, and his appearance is imposing, but he has a look of carelessness, not serious.

Mother Feng glanced at the bright red lipstick on his clothes, smiled ambiguously, and then begged in a low voice: "Young master, please do me a favor, and take a pulse for my precious lump."

Young master Shen surnamed Shen raised his eyebrows lightly, and his eyes were full of indifference.He obviously knew who the woman on the couch was, but he seemed determined to stay out of it, and refused with a mocking smile: "Why, she was hurt by love, she is going to die or live?"

"What time is it, son is still making sarcastic remarks!" Mother Feng said anxiously, "Han Chu was bullied by Miss Ming several times and five times, and he has already died. How can I have time to ask a doctor again! Please, sir Take a look."

Mother Feng observed Mr. Shen's expression while talking, and she saw that he frowned, showing a bit of concern.She couldn't help feeling a little complacent, after all, she didn't miss him, this man had thoughts about Han Chu, and she didn't waste herself asking him to come here.

Thinking of this, Mother Feng took the initiative to lift the curtain of the bed, revealing that beautiful, pale face, and persuaded Mr. Shen: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. No delay!"

Mr. Shen stared at the haggard face on the couch that day, and finally did not refuse: "Mother Feng, go out, let me treat you with peace of mind."

Mother Feng quickly agreed with a smile, motioning for Qin'er to step down with her.The two guarded the door of Hanchu's house, waiting for Mr. Shen's diagnosis and treatment results.

The room was so quiet that no sound could be heard, and it was a bit eerie.

But after a while, Mr. Shen pushed the door and went out, and said to Feng's mother, "If she abuses herself like this again, Da Luo God will not be able to save her!" Then he handed over a porcelain bottle, and said, "Tu On the affected part of her arm, twice a day."

Mother Feng took the medicine bottle, looked around the room with some worry, and asked tentatively, "How is Han Chu?"

"She's already awake." Mr. Shen's complexion became more and more ugly, and he reprimanded with a sullen face, "Is He Lianqi still a man?" He finally put down these words, snorted coldly and walked away.

Mother Feng kept watching Mr. Shen's back disappear into the corner of the corridor before returning to the house with Qin'er.She saw Han Chu sitting on the bed at a glance. Although he was still mentally weak, he was awake at least.

Mother Feng was about to reprimand Han Chu for a few words, but she didn't know that the other party had already opened her mouth, her voice was like a gnat, extremely delicate and gentle: "Mom, calm down, I know I was wrong. After tonight, I will never drop a drop for He Lianqi again." Tears."

"You just remember." Feng's mother's voice turned cold, and the distress and sigh just now disappeared, "Women in brothels should take love lightly. You are in your prime and famous, and you will meet better in the future." of."

She paused for a moment, then hardened her heart to poke at Hanchu's pain: "It's okay if you're not a child, as long as you haven't been pregnant, there is always a way out."

Hearing this, Han Chu's face turned even paler.

Mother Feng saw it in her eyes, felt pain in her heart, and her tone softened: "Your piano skills are well-known and well-received, but don't ruin your skills because of He Lianqi." She stood up as she spoke. , and walked towards the door, "Hao Sheng will take care of himself, so he must keep the title of 'Nanxi's No. [-] Beauty'. After half a month, you will be listed again to receive customers."

After Mr. Shen's diagnosis and treatment, Hanchu really got better gradually, eating and taking medicine on time every day, and never shed a single tear.

Zuihualou gradually became lively again, every day after nightfall, there was an endless stream of dignitaries and dignitaries, and the topic of chatting and laughing was the grand marriage between the Helian family and the Ming family.

Rumor has it that the empress of the dynasty personally came to Helian Mansion to officiate the marriage for the couple;
It is rumored that the Ming family prepared a full two hundred dowry, and the ten miles of red makeup showed the preciousness;

Rumor has it that all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty went to congratulate, and the Helian Mansion had three hundred seats for the banquet, which was far from enough, so the number of seats was increased to four hundred in the end...

There are many rumors, all of which are envy and admiration for this wedding ceremony.Even though Han didn't stay at home, these things still spread to her ears more or less.

I still remember that half a year ago, when He Lianqi won Han Chu's heart, it was a sensation.What's ridiculous is that in less than half a year, the lover has always been the same, but Qiannv has changed her candidate.How vigorous the romantic affair was at the beginning, how ironic the grand marriage is now.

It's a pity that when people talk about He Lianqi, they will praise her as "beautiful blessings"; but when talking about Han Chu, most of them laugh at her as "a broken flower and a willow".

It can be seen that men are superior to women and prostitutes are inferior.

Naturally, there are also some flower guests who add fuel and vinegar, spend the spring night with Hanchu with money and material desires, and want to taste what it is like to be "the most beautiful woman in Nanxi".

Fortunately, Feng's mother had already anticipated this situation, and claimed that Han Chu was ill, and she would re-list after recovering from the illness.As soon as these words came out, although those hungry people were impatient, they did not embarrass Zuihualou too much.

Han Chu spent fourteen days and nights in such a situation, and she didn't show too much emotion when she re-listed to pick up customers tomorrow, which reminded Mother Feng of a word - heart like ashes.

It's just that this hurdle had to be crossed by De Hanchu himself, and Mother Feng had been in the party for 20 years. This kind of thing has happened too much, so I didn't have the energy to persuade her again.

"Miss, don't worry, you are such a beauty with both talents and looks, you will definitely find a lover again tomorrow." The maid Qin'er comforted timidly beside her.

Han Chu was still silent, and said after a while: "Qin'er, I want to go out for a walk."

"Miss..." Qin'er was very worried, "You will be picking up guests tomorrow, and Mother Feng won't let you go out."

Han Chu lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then continued lightly: "I'm going somewhere, and I'll be back in an hour at most. If I don't go today, I won't be reconciled when I get listed tomorrow." She looked at the maid who had been with her for three years, with It's all about praying, "Qin'er, don't tell Mother Feng."

Qin'er is well aware of Han Chu's stubborn nature, so she can only sigh and compromise: "Miss, go and come back quickly, I'm lying on your couch, just pretending to be fast asleep."

"Thank you." Han Chu smiled for the first time.

Coming to Qianyage again, the past flooded into Han Chu's heart like a tide.Eight months ago, she was invited to come here to perform on stage. After playing a song, she met He Lianqi in the backyard who was sober and blown away.

Hanchu clearly remembers that on the day they first met, both of them saw the amazement in each other's eyes.Yes, it is stunning.In the past, she sold herself as a performer, and most of the flower guests who came to listen to the music were not interested in drinking, which made her disgusted.

But only He Lianqi, the two knew nothing about each other when they met for the first time, and they greeted each other reservedly like the talented men and beautiful women in the drama.

When He Lianqi heard that she was Han Chu from Zuihualou, his eyes clarified without the slightest contempt, but he praised in a low voice: "Although it is an ancient song, it has new ideas. The girl is good at playing the piano."

Han was pleasantly surprised when he first boarded.She deliberately chose an uncommon piece of music to play, but she didn't expect anyone to hear it.Perhaps from that moment on, she had a crush on Helian Qi.In the past, he was used to seeing flower guests with big bellies, so he looked at such a handsome man who knew the rhythm differently.

Who said she didn't like the appearance?If she had been an old man that day, she would definitely not have admired him.

It was the first time in his life that Hanchu felt his heart beating.Therefore, when she bid for the first night auction two months later, she also subconsciously searched for Helian Qi in the crowd.Sure enough, he didn't disappoint her, he overcame many difficulties, defeated the other flower customers, and took off her brand smoothly.

In this way, a romantic story was made.

Now, it has been reduced to a romantic joke.
