Chapter 40
It was late at night, everyone dispersed, the night market was about to close, most pedestrians returned home, only a few drunks wandered aimlessly in the street, talking nonsense.

It was cold again on the painting boat, the cups and plates were messed up, the smell of wine was still there, and the temperature of the dishes was still there, but the people were gone, only the bright moon in the lake remained forever, sparkling with waves, illuminating a few minutes after the prosperity. lonely.

A slender figure walked slowly to the window, with bare hands on the railing, hair curled up on her temples, her eyes gloomy, looking at the silver moon in the center of the lake, she didn't know what she was thinking, and it took a long time before she sighed and escaped into In the darkness.

"Girl, it's time to rest! The weather has just turned warm, be careful of the wind and cold!"

Suddenly someone called from behind, a red silk cloak was put on her shoulders, revealing a pair of old hands.

Yaoqin smiled lightly, turned around and held the palms of those hands, and said: "Mom, I want to stay here for a while, you can go to rest by yourself first!"

The person who came was a woman who was nearly fifty years old. Although she was a bit bloated and looked old, it was not difficult to see the charm of her youth from her eyebrows and eyes. It is said that the procuress was a famous prostitute when she was young, and there are many sons and brothers who are willing to spend a lot of money on her. Together, they might line up an entire alley.

Yaoqin grew up beside Wu Ma since she was a child, and she couldn't hide what she was thinking in her heart. Seeing this, Wu Ma sighed softly and comforted her: "My good girl, I'm thinking about something. Already!"

Yaoqin smiled, and there happened to be a ray of moonlight sprinkled on her cheeks. Accompanied by the drunken blush, the red dress as bright as fire immediately exuded a thrilling charm, and said softly: " How can there be! The moonlight is so bright tonight, I just want to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the middle of the lake!"

Wu Ma stretched out her hand and touched her cheek, with a bit of pity on her face, she sighed: "Seeing you is like seeing me back then, just as innocent... Hey! Silly girl, do you want to find someone How can it be so easy to entrust someone for life? We are born to be the masters of suffering..."

Talking about taking Yaoqin into her arms, she said with self-pity: "Don't think you have the title of Huakui now, but that's just a nice way of saying it, people don't think you are an ordinary singing girl in private, And how many people really think highly of us... Just like me back then, I felt that I finally met the destined person, and I didn't ask for fame, and went away with him recklessly, but who would have thought that in just a few days, he would turn his back on me, Not even a single sentence of his own, not only that, but he even beat and scolded me, and only then did I know that what he wanted from the beginning to the end was just my skin..."

Mama Wu's eyes were moist, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks, "I know you are proud and arrogant, and you will never commit yourself to someone you don't like. People? I've seen through it, all the vows of eternal love and the love of the future are all lies used by men to deceive people. If you love someone, you will only be hurt more deeply in the end. "

"Mother……"

Infected by the atmosphere, Yaoqin's beautiful eyes were slightly red, and there were also crystal tears in her eyes. Under the moonlight, it reflected the sorrow of two generations of famous leaders.

She couldn't help but think of her own life experience. She was originally the daughter of a poor family. When she was a child, there was a great famine. Her parents had no choice but to sell her to a brothel. After many rounds, she finally fell into Wu Ma's hands.

Thanks to Wu Ma's kind heart, she didn't let her sell herself to receive guests like others, but patiently taught her to read and write, a collection of poems and essays, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, for more than ten years, this is how the current Huakui Yaoqin is born. , And after many rounds of manipulation, this avoids the fate of ordinary sisters who have a little red lips and a pair of jade arms that thousands of people sleep on.It is extremely rare to be able to barely keep this innocent body.

She has been in this dusty place for a long time, and she has never seen any kind of people. There are all kinds of people, good and bad. Many people just covet her beauty, and what they want is nothing more than a night of happiness, but how can she be willing to fall into lust and sinking.

But wanting to find a wealthy son-in-law who doesn't dislike her background and doesn't care about other people's opinions, is almost wishful thinking.

Yaoqin's heart was filled with soreness, like a wounded kitten, she shed tears silently: "Mom, I just want to find someone who is sincere to me and worthy of entrusting me for life. Why is it so difficult!?"

Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and the world is not allowed to see gray heads. How many years of youth can a woman have, and the best years are only those few years.

Wu Ma hugged Yaoqin tightly, gently stroked her black hair, and sighed: "Silly girl, silly girl..."

……

The bright moon hangs high, the sky is clear and the earth is bright, illuminating the mountains and rivers. After Qiao Chenan left the boat, he walked towards his residence. The little fox transformed by Huangfuxuan was lying on his shoulders.

He looked sideways at the white fox, which was only less than a foot long, and suddenly a strange idea came to his mind, he didn't know what Jiaona would look like in her original form, but I think it should be equally cute!
From the beginning to the end, he felt that this woman was very mysterious, but it was not because she was a fox demon. Jiao Na seemed to have a great secret, as if she had some important mission on her shoulders. extremely short.

She comes and goes in a hurry.

But all of this is just Qiao Chenan's own guesswork, and the specific situation is probably only known to her.During this period of time, he also asked Huangfu Xuan this question, but the little guy didn't seem to know about it.

Sighing slightly, he looked at the white fox on his shoulder and said, "Who told you to run out without permission?"

The white fox stood up very humanely, with its hind legs resting on his shoulders and a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in its forelegs. Its small eyes blinked brightly, and its small mouth moved slightly: "Stay in your arms." It's too boring!"

Xu was afraid that he would get angry, and would never take him out again, and then said: "I didn't cause trouble for you, so you must not take me away from now on!"

Qiao Chenan smiled in surprise when he heard this, stroked his hair, and said, "Okay!" Walking towards the house under the full moonlight.

After a while, the two returned to the courtyard. Huangfuxuan had already finished eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, jumped off him, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, only Qiao Chenan was left standing there.

Tonight, he indulged in drinking and composing poems. Now that he thinks about it, he is really happy and comfortable. He really likes this feeling. In this world, one should be unrestrained, follow one's heart, take advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, guard against the debate of the six qi, and travel endlessly!
Mo thinks about ordinary things outside the body, and the Ming Dynasty is boundless with wine!

But this unrestrained behavior is not wanton. If you don't abide by all the etiquette and laws in the world, it is not chic, but crazy. The premise of being unrestrained is to keep your heart.

Suddenly a gust of night wind blows, Qiao Chen'an seems to have realized something, only to feel that his mind is much clearer in an instant, but he doesn't know that his "wild thinking" is exactly in line with the Taoist Wuwei state of mind, this "wuwei" is not really inaction, Instead, follow the original heart and follow the way, so that the thoughts will be clear and the state of mind will be greatly improved.
