Chapter 12 Beauty and Su San, slap in the face This chapter is free
While walking, I was thinking about these thoughts, but the rain gradually became heavier. The water vapor aroused by the heavy rain caused the entire street to rise with clouds of water vapor, and the humidity prevented people from covering it. [] Ancient times
The umbrella is heavy and small. It can be used in light rain. But when it really rains heavily, you need to take shelter from the rain.
Yuwu walked to a slightly protruding eaves and saw that she could take shelter from the rain. She quickly hid there, but she never thought that there was already a person standing under the eaves, and she was a woman.
The people who came to the streets so early in the morning were either those who had nothing to do, or those who had to go out to make a living.
He guessed that the woman in front of him should belong to the latter. The style of the clothes was still new, but the material of the clothes was a little older. She was holding a basket in her hand, covered with cotton, and it was still steaming. Come to think of it,
Either steamed buns or pancakes.
Carrying such a basket so early in the morning, she must have wanted to sell it as soon as possible, but with the weather like this, she might have dashed her plans.
It doesn't look like he is used to doing small business, otherwise he would never choose to go out so early, and he shouldn't go out on a rainy day.
When the woman saw him walking into the eaves, she was startled and hurriedly hid aside. It was not like an ordinary woman would be frightened when she saw a man, she seemed to know him.
The woman wanted to rush into the rain and took a step outside, but stopped. Such a heavy rain finally deterred her.
It turned out that they were acquainted. When he saw the woman's reaction, he immediately had this thought in his mind.
Anyone who could get acquainted with Old Su San was either a gangster or a brothel girl. Therefore, this woman's reaction undoubtedly showed her identity... Wuling City was the capital of the feudal dynasty. Not only did it have a large population, but it was also second to none in economic development.
There are more rich people and more prostitutes, so of course there will be more prostitutes.
The prostitution of prostitutes and the extravagant life are also part of the scene in Wuling City. Therefore, it is not entirely Su San's fault that Su San became like that in this environment. This environment is like this, and he does it with others.
Feng Dingsheng seems to be twins with brothels, and they always come together. Talented people who claim to be romantic always have a special preference for this kind of place.
If one day word spreads that a certain talented man has become a guest at the table of a certain famous prostitute, he will always become the object of admiration among the talented people.
The person involved will always feel proud that he has done something great and will talk about it from time to time to show off.
Of course, most of the time, money is the only way to win the love of famous prostitutes with a few bad poems and a few bad names.
It's not impossible, there are also some women who love talent, and they like those poor scholars. There are also "good stories" about who eloped with whom, which made the public abuzz and inspired the talented men who had no money to spread their praises.
He is the male protagonist who hooks up with a famous prostitute.
There are many storybooks with similar themes in later academic works, but in those storybooks, the girls in brothels who are seduced by poor talented men usually end up very miserable.
In history, there was a brothel girl with the same name as Su San, who was also seduced by a poor scholar. She suffered a lot. Although the end was not too tragic, it can be concluded that this kind of love model is in the current situation.
In a social context, the success rate is very low.
Not all brothel girls have fantasies about love. Most brothel girls are still very conscious. They will arrange their own escape before they grow old and lose their lust.
It is the most common situation to find a rich benefactor, beg to redeem one's body, and leave one's country to become a concubine.
Not every brothel girl can find a satisfactory benefactor. A large number of girls will stay in the brothel until no one comes to visit them, and then they will take a little savings and find a place to live alone.
Old age and death.
There are also a small number of cases where women meet kind-hearted madams who are willing to let them spend a sum of money to redeem themselves. But there are not many such cases.
After all, this is something that breaks the rules. Even if the madam has good intentions, she cannot do it openly.
Such things are rare, but not unheard of. It seems that there is such an example right before our eyes.
In the Mood for Love, when she was very pretty, she was reduced to selling steamed buns on the streets. This shows that she has been away from the brothel for some time. Being someone else's concubine, she would not have fallen to this level. The only possibility is to redeem herself.
Life is difficult, so I came up with this kind of livelihood... "It's better to come out, but it's hard to make a living by selling steamed buns like this for a long time."
Thinking that there might have been an affair between the two, he wanted to give her some advice.
The woman yelled, but she didn't know what he meant when he suddenly said such a sentence. Her eyes were full of wariness.
He smiled bitterly. It turns out that Su San was indeed not a good person in her heart. He took out a piece of silver and walked a few steps towards the woman. He was about to buy some steamed buns to take care of her business.
"Take two..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the woman unexpectedly raised her hand and slapped him in the face. The speed and the reaction were so strong that he was a little confused.
The woman looked at the broken silver in his hand, recalled what he said, and realized that her reaction was a little too much, but at that time, it was too late for her to stop.
A crisp slap hit the man's face, and the woman's face turned pale instantly. She soon thought that the man in front of her was not someone she could afford, and she was frightened.
It was as if this slap was not slapped on the man's face by her, but by the man on her face, with a look of help and a look of panic.
Going out early in the morning and being slapped in the face by a woman is not a happy thing no matter what.
He sighed, without intending to blame the woman, threw the broken silver into the basket and asked her to give him two steamed buns.
She hurriedly took out two warm steamed buns and wanted to hand them over, but was a little scared.
He reached out and grabbed the steamed bun. It looked good, so he took a bite, but it was a bit hard, like a steamed bun that had been left overnight, and had a bit of a chewy texture.
If such steamed buns can be sold once, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to be stupid enough to buy them a second time. It would be strange if she could make a living relying on this.
"Go back. There won't be any business on a rainy day. Moreover, these steamed buns are too unpalatable. If we don't improve them, there won't be any business." After saying this, he held up his umbrella and went to
I walked in the rain, and after a while, I disappeared into the rain and mist.
When the woman saw that he was gone, her heart returned to her stomach. She was really afraid of the man just now. He used to have a messy temper, but luckily it didn't happen today. But she also felt a little strange. The man before and the man in front of her were different.
The temperament seems to be quite different.
"There seems to be something different?" the woman thought.
