Chapter 576
These days, the old peach tree in the courtyard has finally fallen red. The tender yellow leaf buds are like raindrops floating all over the sky, and they are constantly emerging from the branches. Green peaches the size of rice grains have emerged under the unfallen flower core.
Wang Cuiqiao held an oil-paper umbrella and wandered in the wet courtyard. Looking at the green tree, she couldn't help but feel worried. She opened her pearl lips and whispered: "The most important thing is that the beauty can't be kept in the world. The beauty leaves the mirror and the flowers leaves the trees."
In this hazy misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the graceful and graceful figure standing alone under the old peach tree and its peerless appearance are like a beautiful and intoxicating painting.
In short, Xu Dong and Wang Zhi were both fascinated at this moment. Xu Dong even regretted that he had promised Wang Cuiqiao before that he would let her become a good person as long as he wins this year's courtesy. Xiuchunlou is an industry under Xu Dong's name, and Wang Cuiqiao is the best among the top brands in Xiuchunlou. None of them, the beauty of Ruhua. Even Xu Dong, the boss behind countless girls, couldn't help but think about putting her in private.
Wang Cuiqiao was sad about spring and autumn, but the maid Qiu Yan around her noticed the arrival of Xu Dong and Wang Zhi, and quickly reminded in a low voice: "Miss, Boss Xu and Boss Wang are here."
Wang Cuiqiao came to his senses and turned around and saw that Xu Dong and Wang Zhi, the head of the Hui Chamber of Commerce, stood smiling at the other end of the yard path. A hint of worry could not help but pass through his bright eyes, but he soon returned to his usual calmness and tranquility.
At this time, Jin's mother led Xu Dong and Wang Zhi over. Wang Cuiqiao and Qiu Yan quickly bowed and said, "I have seen Mr. Xu and Mr. Wang."
Mother Jin said with a chirping face: "Good daughter, let me tell you a great news. The Courtesan Competition will be held tomorrow. It is said that the imperial envoy will also come to participate. Be prepared."
Wang Cuiqiao nodded happily, not entirely because Xu Jin will be present, but more importantly because she can get rid of her humble family and become a good person after the competition, and can do her own things freely from now on.
The moment when Wang Cuiqiao's face showed joy, the beauty of the moment when it bloomed, made Xu Dong and Wang Zhi slightly dazed. The former smiled and said, "Cuiqiao, perform well tomorrow. As long as you win the courtesan, you will be free."
Wang Cuiqiao said with great blessing: "Thank you Mr. Xu, Cuiqiao will do her best."
"Haha, the lyrics of the imperial envoy Xu, coupled with the piano music of Miss Cuiqiao, this courtesan is sure to win the courtesan. I would like to wish Miss Cuiqiao to win the courtesan and win the courtesan for three consecutive years. It is unprecedented." Wang Zhi said with a laugh, but there was a hint of passion hidden in his eyes.
Wang Cuiqiao said calmly: "Mr. Wang praised me, but Cuiqiao was ashamed of it."
Xu Dong smiled and said, "Let's stop standing up. I brought the newly picked Mingqian tea this year. Boss Wang, let's go into the house to try Cuiqiao's craftsmanship."
Wang Zhi stroked his beard and smiled, "That's good. I've heard that Miss Cuiqiao is proficient in tea ceremony. Today, it's all about Boss Xu."
Wang Cuiqiao naturally could not refuse the boss' request, so he led the two of them into the house, changed into a plain outfit, and then boiled water and cooked tea.
Nearly two hours later, Xu Dong and Wang Zhi left without any satisfaction. If they were not afraid of affecting Wang Cuiqiao's participation in the competition tomorrow, they would probably have to leave after dinner. After all, such a stunning beauty sat in front of her was undoubtedly a pleasing thing, and she would never get tired of watching it. The most important thing is that after tomorrow, the beauty might have flew away, and she didn't know which powerful man would get cheaper.
After seeing off Xu Dong and Wang Zhi, Wang Cuiqiao suddenly felt tired and felt helpless and confused in her heart. She thought that as long as she got rid of her inferiority and became a good person, she could do what she wanted to do freely, but at this moment she suddenly realized that she had taken it for granted.
What if a weak woman without a backer can walk out of the brothel? After all, she can't escape the man's hand. Any rich and powerful businessman can control himself tightly, and he still wants to travel around the world to collect folk songs and write songs?
When Xu Dong and Wang Zhi looked at him, Wang Cuiqiao could naturally feel the heat in his eyes. If it weren't for Xu Jin's gift of poetry, they would probably behave more excessively today. Even if Xu Dong did not fulfill his promise after the Courtesan Competition.
Wang Cuiqiao sighed inwardly and instructed Qiu Yan to take out the teacup that Xu Dong and Wang Zhi had drunk and throw it away directly, then cleaned his hands and stared in a daze on the bed.
...
The sky was clear, a bright full moon hung above the sky, and the waves repeatedly slapped the shore of Dongsha Island, making a rumbling sound. The sea water was still so blue, and the bodies floating on the sea a few days ago had disappeared, and they could only stop at the port south of the island. The Japanese ship, which had been burned, silently told that there had been a tragic bloody battle here.
At this time, there were two more ships next to the burned Japanese ship, with fire on the island and silhouettes.
The cave on Dongsha Island had already been blown up, but the collapsed mud and stones were moved away and a small cave of only a few square meters was dug again. The sea breeze on the island was very strong, but there was no wind in the cave. Two torches stained with tinder were inserted on the walls, which illuminated brightly.
At this moment, two people were sitting opposite each other in the cave under the fire. The so-called mat was just a relatively flat stone. They cut sashimi with a dagger to fill their stomachs through the stone.
"How does Chen Dongjun feel?" One of them asked in stiff Chinese.
"Fuck, it's so unpalatable. If there is wine and food, I won't eat raw fish until I beat you to death. You Japanese like to eat this thing." Chen Dong cursed and said authentically.
At this time, the two people in the cave were Chen Dong, the second in command of Dongsha Island who had escaped before, and the Da Nei Sect.
Speaking of which, Da Nei Zongshi and Chen Dong were both people who fell into the world. Da Nei Zongshi came out with all his belongings. He originally thought that he would make a fortune on the coast of the Ming Dynasty, so he carefully selected a landing location. But he died, and he met Xu Jin, an imperial envoy who inspected Dongtai County. He was killed by most of the people as soon as he landed, and in the end he only had dozens of people running for life. Chen Dong, even his old nest was taken away by Xu Jin's command, and by chance he had a life with dozens of brothers on a boat.
On the same day when Xu Jin left Dongsha Island with the large amount of seized goods, on the evening of the storm, Chen Dong and Ouchi Sect met on a deserted island. In order to compete for the deserted island to avoid the storm, the two men fought a war, killing and injured each other.
