Almost everyone in Taoyuan Town knew about her past with Gao Chushan.
She left so resolutely at the beginning and came back in such a mess now. Even if she doesn't remember anything, everyone can guess that her trip to Kyoto must have been terrible.
Otherwise, how could he be struck by the sword and fall into the water again?
Su Qin'er was seriously injured. It was impossible for the neighbors to ignore her and not save her. Moreover, everyone thought she was a poor abandoned person. Every medicine she received from the doctor who treated her was a threat to her neighbors.
You contribute a little, and I'll make it up for her.
It took her nearly two months to get better, but her amnesia showed no signs of improvement.
It happened to be a coincidence that she could remember everything about her childhood clearly, except for the time related to Gaochu Mountain.
After all, she was a kind-hearted child. Even though no one mentioned the money spent by people in the town to treat her injuries, she secretly remembered it all in her heart.
She inherited her father's pastry-making skills. After she recovered, she started making pastries every morning just like when she and her father first came to Taoyuan Town when she was a child. When there were more people on the street, she would carry a load to sell them.
Although people in Taoyuan Town were very curious as to whether she had seen Gao Chushan in Kyoto, and also curious about what would have happened if they had seen her, when everyone bought pastries, they would ask Su Qiner if she remembered anything.
, Su Qiner tilted her head, thought hard for a long time, and shook her head at everyone apologetically.
Gao Chushan is now a high-ranking official in the court, and the people in Taoyuan Town must not be able to reach it. To them, Gao Chushan is like the cloud far away in the sky. It is not a person from the same world at all. Even asking Su Qin'er is just to satisfy their curiosity.
In my heart, everyone saw that Su Qin'er really couldn't remember her, and gradually no one mentioned Gao Chushan.
Day after day passed, Su Qin'er paid off the money that everyone had pooled together to treat her injuries, bought herself a small house, and used the extra money to buy herself a beautiful coral bracelet.
If we just forget about the past, it might not be a bad thing for Su Qin'er.
However, such peaceful days did not last long. A caravan came to Taoyuan Town and stayed in the busiest restaurant in the middle of the main street.
They lived there for a little half a month, until one day, the caravan group saw Su Qin'er on the second floor of the restaurant, carrying a burden selling cakes on the street.
The leader of the caravan, whose surname is Zhu, travels to Kyoto all the year round. Whenever he goes to Kyoto, his favorite place to go is the charming brothel with colorful flowers. As the courtesan Su Qin'er who was once famous in Kyoto, of course he will remember it even when he turns to ashes.
of.
You know, when he was in Kyoto, he spent a lot of money just to see the beauty of this courtesan lady.
Later, he had another chance to go to Kyoto, and this courtesan was actually ransomed. Last time, he just saw her beautiful face, drank and chatted, but could not hug her back. He felt very regretful that night and sighed for a long time. He really regretted that.
When we meet for the first time, I should spend more money and spend a good night with this oiran lady.
Now in this small town, he actually saw the courtesan he had coveted for a long time, and he certainly didn't want to miss it again.
He caught the boy in the restaurant and asked him if the lady could get married.
After being told that there was no such thing, he was even more convinced that the oiran lady had not been redeemed by others, but had saved enough money to redeem herself and came to such a remote town to live a new life.
Boss Zhu was leaving Taoyuan Town in two days. In order not to leave any regrets before leaving, he ordered his entourage to summon Su Qin'er.
Although Su Qin'er has taken off her gorgeous clothes, her graceful figure and outstanding appearance cannot be concealed.
Boss Zhu took a closer look again and was still moved: "Miss Su, long time no see."
Su Qin'er looked at him with a calm expression: "Do I know you?"
As a brothel girl, she has served too many men, so it's normal not to remember them. What's more, she has redeemed herself. Even if she does remember, she has to pretend to be a good family here.
Boss Zhu laughed heartily and was not angry: "Selling cakes on the street is really hard work. Why don't Miss Su and Mr. Zhu go home? Mr. Zhu can take Miss Su as his concubine."
Su Qin'er felt that this person was really strange. She didn't know him, but he wanted to take her as his concubine as soon as they met. She was never married, so why should she be his concubine?
Su Qin'er didn't want to cause trouble, so she declined Boss Zhu and prepared to leave with her pastries in her arms.
Boss Zhu stopped her and said, "Miss Su, it's embarrassing for me to accept you as my concubine. Don't you think that you still want to marry me as a real wife with your current ruined body?"
"Boss Zhu, please be careful what you say. If you do this again, I'm going to file a police report." Su Qin'er was a little annoyed. What he said was a bit embarrassing. She was an innocent girl, how could she become such an innocent girl?
fallen woman?
Boss Zhu laughed out loud as if he had heard a funny joke: "Miss Su, stop pretending, people in this town don't know who you are, but I know it all."
Boss Zhu's eyes traveled up and down Su Qin'er's body: "Miss Su, you were not like this when you were making fun of me."
Su Qin'er's face turned red with anger at these words. She was not good at arguing with others since she was a child. She didn't know how to respond. She stared at Boss Zhu for a long time, and finally got angry and smashed the pastry in her hand at Zhu.
A boss.
Boss Zhu dodged in embarrassment and slapped Su Qin'er on the face, sending her flying a meter away and falling to the ground: "Don't be so shameless to you, you are a prostitute from a brothel.
, why are you pretending to be a chaste and martyr woman here?"
"Do you think that if you go to this remote town, no one will know that you used to sell?"
Boss Zhu was so angry that he made a loud voice, which attracted many people in the restaurant to come and watch.
Not only did he not restrain himself, he even shouted louder: "Don't pretend to be weak here, get up, get up and tell everyone, what were you doing in Kyoto?"
Boss Zhu picked up Su Qin'er and dragged her in front of everyone: "Everyone, please see clearly, don't be deceived by her. She was once very famous in Kyoto. Countless men wanted to spend a night with her.
But it’s a lot of money!”
"She is a courtesan known to everyone in Kyoto!"
“And he’s also the top oiran!”
Boss Zhu's words caused the onlookers to whisper.
Taoyuan Town is such a big place, and Boss Zhu made a fuss, and the fact that Su Qiner came to Kyoto to be an oiran was like having wings. Before night, the news had spread throughout the streets and alleys.
"Did you know? The daughter of the Su family didn't go to Kyoto to find a lover at all, but to become a prostitute."
"How could a girl who looks quite honest do such a thing that ruins the family tradition?"
"It's really offensive."
"..."
The next day, Boss Zhu left Taoyuan Town, but his departure did not allow Su Qin'er to return to her usual peaceful life.
Rumors were still spreading in the town. Su Qin'er did not remember the things she had done in the past. She kept explaining to people, but some people who were close to her were skeptical.
Although Taoyuan Town is remote, not everyone went to Kyoto. A month later, someone sent a message back from Kyoto.
Boss Zhu is right, Su Qiner went to Kyoto to become an oiran.
Since then, Su Qin'er has been completely unable to move around in Taoyuan Town.
Since then, Su Qin'er has been completely unable to move around in Taoyuan Town.
Those who originally believed in her began to avoid her and dislike her when they saw her again, and some even threw a basin of dirty water directly in her face.
Everyone began to suspect that her amnesia was fake. She could no longer survive in the brothel in Kyoto, so she pretended to be miserable and returned to Taoyuan Town.
As time passed, even the children in the town started singing nursery rhymes around her when they saw her, mocking her for being an oiran in Kyoto.
She used to be able to sell a load of pastries a day, but now it's hard to sell just one piece a day.
