Qi Zi smiled, and Su Yueling looked at those three words happily like a child getting candy: "So this is how my name is written." She pulled Qi Zi's hand again and said, "Quick... teach me quickly.
.”
Qi Zi put the pen in Su Yueling's hand, adjusted the posture of holding the pen, then held her hand with his own and started writing stroke by stroke. She thought of Mrs. Liu from Liuya Academy, when a new student entered the school.
, he also taught the children this way.
Qi Zi taught her three times, and Su Yueling finally knew how to write her name. Although the font was not neat, she was still so happy. Qi Zi wrote her name again and showed it to her. Su Yueling smiled and said: "This is
your name?"
Qi Zi smiled, and Su Yueling said: "Miss Yang, can I call you Qi Zi from now on? Don't call me Miss Su. Just call me Yue Ling."
Qi Zi still smiled and nodded in agreement.
"That's great. I won't be alone anymore because I have a good sister like you by my side." Su Yueling was so excited that she shed tears, and Qi Zi was so moved that he held her hand tightly.
Su Yueling wiped her tears and stood up to give her seat and said, "Teach me how to write other words."
Qi Zi sat down, dipped his pen in ink, and started the tutorial.
It is already noon, and the autumn sunshine has also slowed down the heat. The wind is blowing gently through every corner of Qingyin Building. There are still a few chirping autumn birds on the glazed tile roof, and a few girls are sitting there.
I took a broom and swept the fallen leaves in the yard, and the breeze blew, making them a little messier...
The ink in the inkstone was dry, and the paper on the table was almost running out, but Su Yueling still seemed to be unfinished for a while, and Qi Zi made a tired look, so she reluctantly spared Qi Zi.
At noon, Yao Tang brought the food. Su Yueling looked at it and said, "Why is there only one person? How can we two eat?"
Yao Tang smiled and explained: "Servants are not allowed to eat with the master. I will take the mute girl to the place where the servants eat later."
"How can this be done? I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qi Zi grabbed her, smiled and shook her hand.
Su Yueling said depressedly: "Qi Zi, I've wronged you."
Qi Zi shook his head, motioning for her to go eat, and followed Yao Tang out of the room.
Passing by the single-family house, Qi Zi slowed down and there was no sound of fighting or scolding inside. This made Qi Zi even more worried. She grabbed Yao Tang who was walking in front and pointed to the house. Yao Tang said:
"I'm afraid I've fainted now. It's so pitiful. I haven't eaten for two days. Let's go and stop looking."
Following Yao Tang to the dining area, everyone else had probably finished leaving, and now only the two of them were left. Yao Tang filled a bowl of food and put it on the table, asking Qi Zi to sit down and eat, but Qi Zi sat down to eat.
Zi's thoughts all flew into the single-family house, and she was so worried that she couldn't eat. She looked at Yao Tang and gestured with his hands and said, "Can you go and give her some food?"
Yao Tang understood what she meant and said, "Don't be so kind. If Zhanzi's mother doesn't say anything, who would dare to give her something to eat?"
Qi Zi lowered his head helplessly and started eating, but he heard Yao Tang continue to say: "You are so courageous. No one usually dares to go to that place. Many new girls refused at first, but later they all
Educated from there.”
Qi Zi thought to himself: Isn't this just forcing girls into prostitution?
Looking at Qi Zi's somewhat angry eyes, Yao Tang continued: "You don't have to fight for them. Now they are happy. They didn't obey at first, but now they are living happily. Otherwise, how can this brothel be opened? Come on.
The people in Qingyin Tower are either high-ranking court officials or wealthy businessmen. That person is throwing a lot of money here. Do you know what the people in Luozhou City call this place?"
Qi Zi shook his head ignorantly, and Yao Tang said: "They call this place the Silver Cave. Ordinary people can't afford to come here."
Qi Zi suddenly felt a little lost. She understood her previous feelings and asked secretly: Xuan Yi, is this the country you rule? She suddenly felt that he was so pitiful. It was so difficult and difficult for one person to rule the world.
Qi Zi closed his eyes, Qi Zi, what's wrong with you? Why do you feel sorry for him? There must be a mistake somewhere, how can you pity him? But if not, how can you feel sad?
"Mute girl, dumb girl, what are you thinking about?"
Yao Tang's voice brought her back to reality. She glanced at Yao Tang gratefully. Faced with Qi Zi's eyes, Yao Tang actually blushed.
Here, Qi Zi knew that Yao Tang's father was a doctor in Qingyin Tower, and his mother was also a girl in Qingyin Tower. She died of dystocia when giving birth to him. He and his father depended on each other here. He had been here since he was a child.
Growing up, Qingyin Building was his home. No wonder his expression was so numb when he talked about Xuehong in that single-family house. It turned out that he had seen too much.
Qi Zi gestured and asked: "Who is Mr. Xiao?"
Speaking of Mr. Xiao, Yao Tang shook his head and said, "You are really from out of town. Mr. Xiao is a famous person in Luozhou City. His grandfather made great contributions to the court and was awarded a title after his death. His grandmother was also granted the title of Madam Imperial Majesty by the late emperor.
, his parents died when he was a child. In this city of Luozhou, his family has the highest official rank, and all the princes and ministers in Beijing are related to his family. But he has been ignorant and arrogant since he was a child.
, he never takes others seriously, he is a famous little bully here, no one dares to mess with him, if he falls in love with that girl, that girl will be in bad luck, if he doesn't obey, he will definitely be punished the next day.
Disappeared in Luozhou City."
Qi Zi's indignant expression was plain on his face, and Yao Tang continued: "It's useless for you to be angry. Who makes people powerful? He is a single son of the third generation. Mrs. Xiao dotes on him and loves him so much that it hurts to the very core."
Not to mention women, even if he wants the stars and the moon in the sky, Mrs. Xiao will pick them for him."
This world is really unfair. Good people are not easy to embrace, and bad people are tyrannical. Xuanyi, is this the dynasty you rule?
…
The night at Qingyin Tower is like a busy city, with busy traffic and welcomes and arrivals. The lobby is very lively. There are three or five prostitutes sitting at each table and a few girls who are posing and flattering. They twist their waists and branches.
They fell into the arms of the clients like snakes, and the clients' hands roamed all over their bodies with satisfaction. The girls who poured tea, served food, and served wine were busy walking quickly, and some clients didn't forget to pass by.
The girl pinched her butt so hard that the person who got pinched could only accept it as bad luck. After all, you have to be mentally prepared to work here.
Zhanzi's mother held the felt under her arm and greeted every guest with a smile on her face.
