Chapter 335
This is a large square courtyard, a bit similar to the modern northern courtyard. The main body is made of green bricks and wood, surrounded on all sides, and the middle is empty, with excellent lighting.

Originally, this was the outhouse of a certain big landlord, but now it is requisitioned by the Xu family army as a dormitory for some special practitioners.

And these special practitioners are those women and children rescued from the dark alleys and red halls of the past.

People's preferences in this era are different from what the public in later generations are familiar with. Nowadays, masculinity is prevalent. In this era where men are superior to women, women in brothels are also oppressed and bullied by their fellow men.

Xu Yue asked Zheng Lai to go back first, and led Xu Erniang and Sima Yi into the renovated dormitory together.

There are 35 people living here, and the housing area is limited, basically eight or nine people are crowded into one room.

Fortunately, over the past few years, heated kangs have been built in the city, and the wide kang beds can give everyone a place to sleep.

It's the middle of the afternoon when everyone is busy working to earn wages, but there are many people staying in this yard.

They are male and female, ranging in age from eleven to twenty-five.

These people are all outstanding in appearance. They wear colorful clothes. In this world full of gray and yellow, they are a touch of magnificence that can be noticed at a glance.

The women played alone around the side. These people were "top products" collected by the old mothers from all over the world. After training, they were sold to earn high rewards.

In the west corner of the courtyard, men gathered together, some were playing the piano, some were chatting, and some were dancing with flower guns.

One of the men wore a head of blue hair that looked like a waterfall, and held a blue grass stem in his hand to weave into a threaded flower. While weaving, he put it on his temples to try it on. Curved, showing a bit of coquettishness.

Xu Yue had never seen such a man before. If she hadn't known the gender of the man, she would not have been able to distinguish between men and women at all if she saw him for the first time.

Their clothes and attire are all moving closer to women, but because of their own gender advantages, they are very good at covering up for those gentlemen who are good at this.

They often stayed with their male employers as personal servants and deceived many wives.

Moreover, women are weak, and it is inconvenient for them to participate in various outing activities. Therefore, men who can ride horses and archery, wield knives and guns, and play various games are more and more loved by these old male employers.

The current popularity of this kind of ethos is also related to the preferences of the superiors.

Many people originally didn't love men, but in order to get into the upper circles, they had to join forces with them.

In such a climate, the living environment of women has become even worse.

They are often beaten and scolded by men in the same industry, because in this extremely introverted working environment, it is impossible to have any idea of ​​sympathy for each other. There is often a competitive relationship between them.

However, the arrival of Xu Jiajun did not seem to make them feel that they were rescued.

Seeing this group of men and women standing in the yard basking in the sun, chatting and having fun, Xu Yue felt a surge of anger directly from the bottom of her heart - she was so angry that she couldn't argue!

But she can't be angry, the most taboo thing about her current status is personal sentimentality.

The two Xu Jiajun who followed behind Xu Yue and the other three couldn't help shouting coldly when they saw the people playing in their own way in the courtyard and didn't notice the leader who had already entered the door.
"The leader is here to visit you! Come and assemble!"

A cold drink successfully calmed down the lively courtyard.

The sound of the piano stopped, the flower gun stopped dancing, and the man who was looking at the water with the flowers in his hand was so scared that he dropped the flowers in his hand.

Facing Xu Jiajun, they are still afraid!

Everyone gathered together, exactly the same as when Xu Jiajun came to the brothel and asked everyone to gather and count. They were divided into male and female teams and lined up neatly, with their heads lowered, waiting to be punished in fear.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Jiajun entered the city, not only did they not take them away to serve the leader, but instead asked them to pack their clothes and money, leave the brothel, and make a living by themselves.

To earn a living?

How can people like them make a living?

Is it possible to hang a sign in front of the gatehouse, like the cheapest women in the dark alley?
Still like other hard-working farmers, they went to the construction site to work hard, and only got ten chips after a day of hard work.

Compared with this, it would be better to let someone lose some money and just lie down, at least you only need to endure for a quarter of an hour.

But what is annoying is that the Xu family army actually banned the red pavilions in the whole city, and even those listed in the dark alleys are not allowed to do it, completely cutting off their business!

But right now they live in the big courtyard, Xu Jiajun doesn't seem to care about them much, so they can still enjoy leisure.

However, who would have thought that the female leader would come here in person!

What is she here for?
The man with black hair hanging all over his head secretly glanced at the girl in front of him. If the woman is the leader, does that mean he wants to compete with the man?

Could it be that she also wants to try what men have done before?

However, this was too high-profile, and the surrounding neighbors were also attracted by the movement here, and now they are gathering outside the gate to test the courtyard.

Those who want to do that, no matter how thick-skinned they are, will not do so with such fanfare.

The 35 people, big and small, were secretly worried, not knowing why the female leader came, but they could already feel from the cold expressions of the two Xu Jiajun that it must not be a good thing.

"How many people?" Xu Yue asked Xu Jiajun behind him.

She asked knowingly, a total of 35 people stood in front of each other, and she could see clearly at a glance.

The soldier didn't know what she meant, so he replied, "Leader, there are 35 people in total, all of them are here."

"Oh, it's all set." Xu Yue nodded, the corners of her mouth curled up, it was obviously a smile, but it contained sarcasm.

It seemed that Sima Yi was really going to serve the Xu family army. Hearing Xu Yue's words, he immediately scoffed behind his back:
"It's time to go to work in the afternoon, but you all came in order, so you don't have to work?"

"The same goes for the child. Don't you have to go to school in the afternoon?"

He didn't speak harshly, but the 35 people in front of him had already lost their minds, and the faces of the younger boys and girls were pale.

Xu Erniang also stood up, looked at the women tenderly, and asked with concern: "Did the sisters in the church forget to arrange work for you?"

They are all men and women who have been polished in the romantic place, and they still have some emotional intelligence. It can be heard that what the three of them are saying is ironic. When they panic, they want to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Xu Yue reminded in a cold voice: "My Xu family army's rules, I told you as early as the day I entered the city, those who don't work can't eat, you don't work, you don't study, are you planning to reopen a red house in this yard? ?”

With a crash, everyone in the courtyard knelt down.

"Leader, forgive me, we know we were wrong!"
