The old saying that if the old doesn't go away and the new doesn't come in, it can be said that it comes true in Rouge Alley. Except for a few tenants with deep-rooted backgrounds in Wuhang City, especially the tenants at the end of the alley, they change like a stream.
It is the most difficult thing for a prostitute to be a prostitute in any profession, and it is not just an unfounded rumor. The rent has gone up, familiar customers are looking for new loves, and the beauty has faded due to old age, so I can no longer stay in Rouge Alley, which is never short of new people. If I can be lucky,
Being favored by a benefactor and living a life without worries about food and clothing as a concubine, although you may have to face many hardships and humiliations from the master, it is a very good way out.
The rest of the women were reduced to pieces and crushed into dust, with only their fragrance remaining in the same miserable state.
However, the few brothels in Rouge Alley with big businesses often treat the leading courtesans who have retired from the brothels. In addition to providing monthly support, they also train and train newcomers in the brothels. They live a leisurely life and earn a lot of money.
, compared to the time when the scenery was overwhelmingly beautiful, it’s just a little bit worse, and it’s generally considered comfortable and leisurely.
How many prostitutes are vying to get into the first few buildings in Rouge Alley. There is also a lot of filth in the buildings. Every few months or six months, there will be news that a prostitute in the building was found hanging three feet high early in the morning.
Bai Lingshang, or the woman who fished out one of the families from the Longpu River, is no longer surprised. The whole government office has been cleared, and the impact on the building itself is minimal. If the family members of the women who committed suicide were
When I came to Rouge Alley, the boy who came out of the building respectfully invited me in to negotiate with the person in charge of the building. After I came out, I showed a satisfied smile and went back to buy a property and a house with a bulging wallet in my waist.
As for those poor women, since they entered this third-rate profession, they are no longer regarded as family members except when they reach out for money. They are put into a thin coffin. The bodies of countless poor people have been buried outside Wuhang City.
There is another grave in the mass grave. From now on, no family will go to pay homage to it. It seems to have been forgotten.
....
"Du Qingyu was only ten years old when she jumped into the water. She was intercepted when she tried to elope with the second son of the governor of Yuyin County. The son couldn't afford the two thousand taels of silver to redeem himself, so he vowed to take advantage of him, a rare and honest official.
The governor's father asked for two thousand taels of silver and left. I believed him and from then on I stopped asking Qingyu to receive guests. After waiting for two months, I received the news that the second son of the governor's family in Yuyin County was getting married.
When she found out about this, she threw herself into the water that night."
"Dong Xiaoxiao, Qu
My son is an excellent singer. We agreed that he would be a performer but not a prostitute. He would go back and get married in two years. However, the last ten days of the contract were wasted and the person who hanged himself was already castrated."
"Qiu Niang, you broke the rules in the building and died of a heart disease."
"Li Xiaoman...."
The mass grave outside Wuhang City is a place that everyone in the city is afraid to avoid. It has been covered with a few piles of clay. Within a few steps, you can see bones dug up and gnawed clean by wild dogs, as well as large and small graves.
Lin Li didn't see people buried with his own eyes, so it would be difficult to find them.
However, the man holding an oil-paper umbrella walking between the tombs seemed to be walking at home. The man in white bent down, separated some of the pile of yellow paper in his hand, picked up a stone, and pressed it on the tombstones without tombstones.
Say a few words in front of the grave.
Behind him stood a beautiful woman in splendid clothes and green coat. She just looked at this man who was mumbling to himself. This woman, who was famous for her beauty in Wuhan City, stood behind this man who looked ordinary to everyone, even though she was spending a lot of money.
All the guests were respectful and obedient, waiting patiently without any impatient words.
The man in white walked through the mass graves, using large and small stones to press dozens of stacks of yellow paper. A considerable number of the names he read were from famous courtesans in Rouge Lane in Wuhan City. People with better memories in Wuhan City are familiar with them.
Remember, those women who were once well-known to every household and made many married men have strange dreams in bed with them at night.
Those women who were once incredibly beautiful.
However, no matter how famous these women were during their lifetime, it is still extremely difficult to know them all in such detail, unless he has spent a long time with these women day and night.
"Them." The man in white raised his hand and dug in all the surrounding tombs. There were dozens of large and small ones, and then said to the stunning woman behind him, "These were all the flowers I held in my palms. Some of them died young.
Some were cut off when they were in full bloom, and some grew crookedly and were pruned. Now they are all buried here, with the bones of filthy people, instead of sleeping in the sea of flowers. I hope you
I won’t follow in their footsteps.”
Without caring about her expensive dress, she knelt in front of the man in white, lowered her head, and kissed his instep with her red lips that countless men dreamed of.
The man took his feet back,
Passing his hand to her, the woman was flattered.
She kissed the back of the man in white devoutly. This man whose status was second only to Emperor Dayao to all the women in Yanyue Land in Jiangzhou calmly accepted this man who would make countless men in Wuhang City willing to cut off their arms.
kiss, not to mention that what she wanted to kiss before was the instep of the man in white.
He is like a loving father in her heart. He taught her step by step all the skills to survive in Rouge Alley, allowing her to remain innocent to this day and still have the title of the number one oiran in Wuhang City. She loves him.
.
She was only twenty-three, the best age in a woman's life. He saved her life, kneaded her muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, molded her soul, and everything about her belonged to him.
She had nothing but was willing to do anything for him. The only thing she had, her innocent body, she just wanted to give it to him. She loved him.
But the man in white frowned. The floral fragrance exuding from the bones of the woman who was as obedient as a puppet in front of him became weaker, and the smell of vulgar makeup became stronger, which made him feel disgusted. He regretted handing the back of his hand to the woman who was already with him.
Kissing a woman who looks like a vulgar girl.
He pushed the kneeling woman in front of him down, and the delicate flower fell into the dust on the ground.
The stunning woman returned to her kneeling position after a while, still extremely submissive, but she completely annoyed the man in white.
Even if there is a trace of anger and dissatisfaction, her soul is not that kind of worldly thing, but it seems to be no different from it at this moment.
He waved his sleeves and left, leaving behind a woman who didn't know what he had done wrong. Outside the mass grave, a four-wheeled carriage painted in gold and powder was guarded. The servant beside the carriage lowered his body to help the man in white board the carriage.
ladder.
The carriage drove slowly towards Wuhang City. Inside the city was the Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion. The governor was waiting for his carriage and horses to arrive.
