"Before I became Mother Wu, my real name was Li Wei. At that time, I was a singer in a small restaurant. I was beaten every day to wake up, and I sang little songs until my voice became hoarse and fell asleep. Such a hard life
It's unspeakable. It makes me wish I could die." But when she recalled the first period, it seemed to her like a purgatory life at the time, but her voice was full of depression. She looked at Nalan Luo quietly.
As she listened quietly, Mother Wu smiled slightly and continued talking.
"However, my father was not satisfied with me singing every day. The money I earned was not enough to pay for a trip to the casino. Moreover, because he had to provide for me, he took me out one winter morning.
When we arrived at a very beautiful courtyard, he told me, "Oh, obediently, listen to the words of the sisters in the courtyard," and then he disappeared. After he left, I found out from other people's mouths that it turned out that he wanted to get a piece of cake.
With enough money to gamble, he sold me to the most notorious brothel at that time." When Wu's mother mentioned this place, she couldn't help but burst into tears. At this time, there was a warmth in her palms, and she saw
Nalan Luowei didn't know when he wrapped her hand tightly between her palms, silently transmitting energy to her.
Taking the silk silk handed over by Nalan Luowei, Mother Wu gently wiped the tears on her face.
"In a brothel, it is impossible for you to be a girl who only sells your clothes but not your body. When the men come, they only see your body, and your talents can only be revealed when they are bored.
I would only occasionally be reminded of them when I was bored, and it was a tool used to please them and cheer them up. In this way, I lived in dire straits every day and could not refuse them at all. Once I resisted, they would get even more
Because of the cruel treatment." Speaking of the sadness, Mother Wu burst into tears. But at this time, Nalan Luowei didn't say anything. She just held Mother Wu's hand quietly, waiting for Mother Wu to continue talking after she recovered.
.
"Just when I was about to use poison to kill the man who had just abused me in bed and myself, he appeared." As she said this, a sweet smile appeared on Mother Wu's originally gloomy face.
"He was injured and hid in the room where I was. At that time, the man discovered that the wine was poisonous. When he was about to report it to the police, he stabbed the man with a sword. I looked at me crying.
, just said, "Don't let others' bullying give you a reason to be weak." After saying that, he took a white handkerchief and gently wiped my tears. When I stopped crying, he just
Standing aside quietly, watching me pour the poisonous wine into the mouth of the man who abused me, and watching the corners of the man's mouth twitching under the influence of the poisonous wine, at that moment, I felt that I had been redeemed
.I found the courage to live again. All of this was given to me by him."
"In this way, he secretly nursed his injuries under my protection. During that time, because of his teachings, I learned to write, recite poems, and smile." Recalling that time together,
As time passed, Mother Wu’s face was filled with a happy smile.
"Then, happy days are always short-lived. Soon, his enemies chased me to the brothel where I was. At that time, in order to protect me, he deliberately grabbed me, creating the illusion that he was trying to use me to leave safely." Mother Wu seemed to have thought
What, suddenly smiled again. "At that time, I was so satisfied that I could live and die together but could share the same hole. I was so impulsive that I almost wiped my neck with his sword, but I was slapped hard by him.
When he was beaten, he said sadly but full of grief and anger, Why did I want to seek death so easily before I reached the final stage of despair?"
"Yes, I haven't reached the point where I have no choice but to give up. I can't despair so easily. Otherwise, how can I be his woman? When he saw me calm down, he was about to do it.
When I pushed him away, he said to me, 'No matter what you are like, in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful! Live well and wait for me to come back!' When he wanted to push me away, I had a feeling
, maybe this time, when he goes, we will separate the yin and yang. But no matter what, I will live well. Because he asked me to wait for him to come back. In this way, I have been waiting for twenty years."
"Okay, the story is over." Mother Wu took a deep breath, exhaled gently, then turned to look at Nalan Luowei with a smile.
"Wei Yu, I have personally experienced that kind of despair, and I have also struggled painfully in despair. Therefore, I understand that when I can't find any way to redeem myself, in order for us to continue to have the courage to live,
We must create our own salvation. This is why I became a brothel madam." Mother Wu looked up at Nalan Luowei and conveyed her thoughts to her through her eyes. She believed that she understood.
"The flower girls in the building, unlike the flowers, flowers, and flower scouts, have the space and rights to make their own choices. Seeing them becoming increasingly depressed, I began to worry about how they could survive when they couldn't find hope.
Keep at it. So, I want to take them to the Flower Temple to let them feel the luck that women can win through their own efforts..."
"Mom, I understand. I will do as you say. I will be the representative of Zuihonglou and bring their hopes back to them!" Nalan Luowei no longer refused. She understood that she could no longer refuse Mother Wu.
.
"Miuyu, really? Thank you, I'll take the ladies in the building to thank you..." Mother Wu suddenly became excited when she saw Nalan Luowei finally relaxed.
"Weiyu, Meilanzhuju, these four girls, what they just said were all taught by you?" Although these four girls also have the hard work to not be outdone, but unfortunately, they lack that kind of ability.
It seems that the domineering and heroic spirit to control the scene still needs more practice. However, it is already remarkable to be able to say what I just said.
"Well, the four of them are very hardworking, and given time, they can stand alone. In this way, I can leave Zuihong Mansion more confidently." Nalan Luo said softly. Everyone has their own way to go, and others
It is impossible to take care of another person forever. What she can do for them is to cultivate their ability to achieve happiness.
Returning to Tingyu
There was a gentle knock, "Sister Wei, have you washed up?"
"Well, come in." Nalan Luo replied softly.
Ling'er came in with a food box. She walked to the table, took out the food from the food box, set out two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and called to Nalan Luo Wei. "Sister Wei, come here for breakfast." It turned out that, without knowing it,
When she woke up, she actually chatted with Mother Wu all night.
"Um."
After breakfast, when Ling'er was about to go out with her food box, Nalan Luo stopped her slightly.
"Ling'er, these are for you. I bought them from the street. One is yours and the other is mine. Ahem, if you see any young master you like at the Flower God Festival, remember to come and tell me. I promise
, I will make the decision for you." In order to cover up his awkwardness in giving gifts, Nalan Luowei deliberately talked about it.
Despite this, Ling'er, who understood Nalan Luo Wei's thoughts, was still very moved and said: "Sister Wei, thank you..." There seemed to be tears flashing faintly.
"Ling'er, don't say thank you or not. You and I are the only ones who depend on each other. If I don't take care of you, who will take care of you, don't you think?" Nalan Luo comforted Ling'er slightly, and then said: "Ling'er
, after paying homage to the Flower Goddess Festival, I will find a needlework master for you to learn from. I don’t need you to be very skilled, but, at least, you just don’t sew a big hole in your clothes..."
After saying that, Nalan Luowei felt a little sweaty. She didn't understand. Ling'er was obviously a clever child, and even her name was so clever. Why were the clothes she mended so terrible?
"Okay, Sister Wei, Ling'er listens to you. Then Ling'er will take down the food box first." After saying that, with Nalan Luowei's consent, Ling'er walked out.
After a while, Ling'er returned to Tingyuxuan. A little excited and a little nervous, she came to talk to Nalan Luowei about something she just heard the turtle slaves discussing this morning.
"Sister Wei, do you know? The people over at the Temple Library are having a secret conversation in Mother Wu's room." In Ling'er's view, the Temple Library is a mysterious place, and people in it can come to the door on their own.
There must be something exciting about to happen.
"Temple Literature Museum?" Didn't I hear a few days ago that the director there was worried about the candidate for Baihua Fairy? Why did he have time to come here to chat now? This official has a real hobby
Different from ordinary people.
At this time, the third son came to Tingyuxuan and stood outside the door and knocked lightly. "Miss Weiyu, if Mother Wu is interested, please come to Liju. We have something important to discuss."
"Well, you go back first, I'll get ready and I'll be there later." It's strange, didn't she just come back from Wu's mother's room? Why did she have to go there again now?
Nalan Luowei, who couldn't think of anything, stopped thinking about it and asked Ling'er to put away the sachet she bought, then got up and walked towards Liju.
Arriving at Liju, Nalan Luo Wei first locked the door. When the door opened, it was Mother Wu who opened the door. Mother Wu stood aside and signaled Nalan Luo Wei to enter the house.
Entering the room, Nalan Luowei noticed two other people in the room. She had met Zhang Wen, the reviewer, before. She smiled and said hello. Nalan Luowei then looked next to him. The man, long and tall,
Goatee, a pair of sharp eyes looked at Nalan Luowei with scrutiny and arrogance.
