Chapter 228 The Planned Destiny

In the envious eyes of the sisters, Liu Ruyan followed Zhou Sheng to a corner. "What I said last time, I don't know how you thought about it?" Ruyan lowered his head slightly in his burning eyes, "If... the master said is grooming, the slave family has no choice." I'm asking about your personal thoughts," Zhou Sheng stretched out his hand and stroked the Qingsi in her ear, "Or, it doesn't matter who bought your right to serve?" "No... of course not... "She bit her lip. "That's right." The talented Zhou's voice became softer. He liked the other person's expression very much. Not only did the tenderness and fear not destroy her beauty, but it seemed more lovely, which made him want to Go pampering. "I have already talked with the boss, and the grooming time is set after I go to Gyeonggi to take part in the test." Liu Ruyan felt as if his heart was gripped by something. "But when I think about it, you will be tossing around under someone else's body. After all, it is not something I would like to see. So I am considering redeeming your body for you after you have groomed." Upon hearing this, Ruyan lifted in surprise. At the beginning, "Then...what about the redemption?" Zhou Sheng raised his mouth. This was the reaction he wanted to see, "I will take you as a concubine." Liu Ruyan lowered his head again, "I don't know where the son is at home..." "I already have four concubines. Don't worry, they get along well on weekdays, and you know how to play poetry, poetry, and music. It's not difficult to get closer to them. Then remember to teach everyone, and save me from writing good words that no one appreciates. "The slave house... it's all up to the son."... Saying goodbye to the talented Zhou, Liu Ruyan was immediately surrounded by the sisters as soon as he returned to the small building where the Qing Dynasty was staying. "Hey, what did Young Master Zhou tell you?" "He really likes you, right?" "It won't be... he decided to take your first night, right?" Liu Ruyan had to explain. "Young Master Zhou has indeed ordered my grooming and said that he will redeem me." This sentence instantly detonated everyone. "Wow! Miss Liu, your luck is too good!" "Yes, that's the famous Zhou talent." "Don't talk about us, the ladies in the city will secretly envy you." "After all, after the prince is gone, he should be the most anticipated candidate. He is only good at learning, and he has a handsome appearance." "I think you have forgotten someone." Some girls objected. "Who?" "The new appointment in the Privy Council, Master Xia. I heard that he is about the same age as Zhou Dazhi, but his status is equivalent to a fifth-rank official, and he is still the confidant of the princess. Even the General Affairs Bureau is his own plan. …How could such a person be better than Young Master Zhou.” “Uh…you seem to say so. Why do the sisters rarely mention him?” “Probably Master Xia has never been to Drunken Brothel?” “Yes. Ah, why? This is the best brothel in Jinxia, ​​right?" "Or...he has a friend in other places?" "Haha, just like no one knows that Young Master Zhou will add to our Ruyan girl. The same!" This topic aroused everyone's interest, and the sisters began to talk about it. Only Liu Ruyan felt unhappy at all. Redemption, concubine... things that are enviable in the eyes of other qing yu people, but her heart is full of worry and anxiety. Many of the women cultivated in Zuiqinglou were orphans and young girls bought from Yahang. They were raised almost a little bit since childhood, and everything they saw and heard happened in this area. But there are exceptions, such as herself. Liu Ruyan was eleven or twelve years old when he was sold here, and he was too ignorant. Normally, a brothel would not accept such a woman to become a clean man, but she came from a big family, had a good academic background and a beautiful face, and was bought by Zui brothel. Precisely because she had witnessed the situation of the concubine in her family before the fall of the family, and had heard her mother tell the fate of such women many times, it was difficult to feel happy when she heard what Zhou Gongzi said. From now on, her destiny and happiness will be controlled by one person. Liu Ruyan couldn't help looking at the wild cats entrenched in the yard-she often feeds them, even so, she can't make any restrictions on the wild cats. They come as they want, and leave as they want. Neither the high gate nor the courtyard wall can stop them. This freedom even made Liu Ruyan feel jealous. That's probably a feeling she can never experience. "You have said so much about Master Xia's good, but that is just a momentary situation. After all, things like offending a scholar will always be noticed by Her Royal Highness. When there is a problem, the princess will definitely use him to calm everyone. Dissatisfaction." "Yes...As long as you can read and write, you can be an official in the bureau. It's ridiculous." "But I'm a little curious. If I pass the registration screening and become a reserve official of the bureau, then I will be drunk. Will the brothel take me back?" a famous sister asked ingeniously. "Xiao Nizi, you want to be beautiful, what is the brothel, do you think that after you say your identity, others will accept you? Save it, this world will not despise you, and only our sisters!" "But... no one has asked them this question?" "Why, do you still have illusions? Why don't you think about how to serve people, so that the son will look at you sooner." Everyone laughed kindly. But the other party's words made Liu Ruyan's heart jump slightly. Yes, no one really asked the bureau. The conditions did not specify the restriction on identity, did they forget it, or did they say that this is something customary in the world and does not need to be specifically stated? After spending so many years in the brothel, she had long understood that she shouldn't have expectations. But once that thought came out, it took root and sprouted in her mind like a seed, and it was hard to erase it. Two days later, Liu Ruyan got a chance. That was the day when the Qing dynasty went out in batches to buy rouge, clothing or jewelry-because everyone’s dressing styles are different, so every one or two months ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ will go out to purchase arrangement. Of course, it was under the leadership of the mother and was not allowed to act alone during the whole process. It's just that the mothers also mean it. After all, the girls have no household registration and no relatives to rely on. Even if they escape, where can they escape? At least you don’t have to worry about food and clothing in the brothel. If you become a homeless, your life may not be guaranteed. The group of people stopped and walked, and when approaching the long street where the bureau was located, Liu Ruyan pretended to make a circle around the cloth shop, and found a place where no one noticed and left the group silently. After confirming that she hadn't been found, she raised the corner of her skirt and ran all the way, the wind blew in her ears, and the sound of heartbeat overwhelmed the panic in her chest. At that moment, she seemed to be a wild cat. After passing through the crowd, Liu Ruyan stumbled into the door of the office. Following the signs, she quickly found her goal. -"Registration Office for Preparatory Officials of Comprehensive Office". A little girl received her. This is Liu Ruyan's first feeling. Can even such a small girl be in charge here? The second feeling is that there are many people who come to sign up. "Hello, is there anything you want to ask?" the other party asked with a smile. "I, I am..." Liu Ruyan wanted to retreat several times. It was embarrassing to say his identity, let alone ask others. But when she thought about what happened three or four months later, she hesitated again and again and finally uttered, "I am a brothel girl who knows how to read and write...Is this also eligible to sign up?" The girl showed a surprised expression. She didn't answer immediately, but pondered, "Well... the thief didn't tell me what to do in such a situation." So-I forgot. Liu Ruyan felt something sinking rapidly in his heart. But the other person's next sentence made her stunned. "Why don't you wait here? Master Xia is in the Privy Council right now, and I will tell you when I get the answer."
