The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 710 The Woodcutter
As if she was very unwilling to recall the miserable scene back then, Qin Bingyue closed her eyes and was silent for a while, then said: "After all the men in the house were beheaded, I followed the nanny and the other female relatives into the government office. Ji, after my mother saw my father die with her own eyes, she threw herself into the wall on the spot. I was protected by the nanny all the time, and I became an official trick, and my status has been lowered since then. They were filled with coolies, and they did washing, sewing, spinning and weaving work all day long. Some of the younger ones were sold to rich and powerful families as maids, concubines, housekeepers, and some were These brothels Chuguan bought back and entered this business. I was selected back then and sold to Yanlailou. At that time, Sister Yuxin was still the top card in Yanlailou, and I was not old enough to take out customers. On weekdays, Sister Yuxin took care of me overtly and secretly. Although Sister Yuxin was the top card in Yanlailou, at that time in Yanlailou, even if Sister Yuxin wanted to protect me, she was powerless. They also trained me as Sister Yuxin's successor, so naturally they need someone who listens to her."

When Qin Bingyue said this, Xuan Shijing understood that at that time, Qin Bingyue had just changed from a lady from the official family to a girl from Yanlailou. The bustard in Yanlailou wants Qin Bingyue to be obedient, and among them, Qin Bingyue must be the one who suffers.

"So that day when I went to Yanlai Tower, I happened to meet him?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Qin Bingyue nodded: "Well, the mother bustard wanted me to accompany the guests in the private room that day, so I struggled and ran out by myself, looking for Sister Yuxin."

That's right, Xuan Shijing was also in Qin Yuxin's room that day, so it just happened to happen.

"Are you born to be Qin Bingyue?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Yeah, it's also because of the same surname as Sister Yuxin, so Sister Yuxin said that we were destined, and I later found out that Sister Yuxin originally had a younger sister. Speaking of which, Sister Yuxin is also a hard-working person. She My father regarded gambling as his life, and he couldn't pay back the money he owed, so he sold Sister Yuxin into Yanlai Tower, and when Sister Yuxin was sold into Yanlai Tower, her younger sister seemed to be about the same size as me." Qin Bingyue raised her hand and stroked the strands of hair falling down on her forehead.

"No matter whether it's glorious in front of others or difficult, there are always some sad things behind it." Xuan Shijing said with emotion.

Qin Bingyue nodded, although the current Dongshanhou seems to be radiant, but the experience behind it is far beyond what ordinary people can bear.

"How does it feel to say what's in your heart?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Qin Bingyue showed a rare smile: "Sure enough, as Lord Hou said, I feel much happier."

"That's right. When I was in Longxi, I was bored by myself. I would always go up the mountain with a medicine basket on my back. While collecting medicine, I would talk to those flowers and plants like hysteria. As long as I said it, I would feel relaxed. many."

"Thinking about the ten years Hou Ye spent in Longxi, it must have been very depressing."

"It's actually not bad. Longxi is the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty, and Khotan is not far from the border. There are many Hu merchants and Tang merchants coming and going in the town. It is also very lively. It's just that the body was too weak at the time, I didn’t go too far, and in Khotan, I can occasionally hear a lot of anecdotes about the Western Regions that I couldn’t hear in Tang Dynasty, which is also a great pleasure.” Recalling the simple days of Khotan Town, Xuan Shijing’s expression There is a bit of longing in it, but it is just that people can't help themselves when they are alive, and they have concerns in Chang'an, and they can't go back to the simple days at the beginning.

Compared with Khotan, Chang'an is just a nicer name for Xuan Shijing.

"Hearing what Lord Hou said, I am yearning for the life of Lord Hou in Khotan Town." Qin Bingyue turned her head and looked out from the two palm-sized windows in the cell, as if imagining What.

Xuan Shijing followed Qin Bingyue's gaze and looked out of the window. Unknowingly, she had chatted with Qin Bingyue for so long in the cell.

"It's getting late, I'll go out first, Bingyue, you can't stay here for long." Xuan Shijing got up and patted the straw off his body.

Qin Bingyue nodded: "Well, Master Hou, go slowly."

After leaving the sky prison, for a while, I felt that the sunlight outside was a bit dazzling.

"Master Hou, what did that man confess to?" Chang Le walked up to Xuan Shijing and asked.

Xuan Shijing talked happily with Qin Bingyue in the sky prison, but Gao Jun and Chang Le were waiting outside the sky prison.

Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "That person is still the same, dead duck, stubborn mouth, but it doesn't matter if he says it or not now, it's just a small fish, and tomorrow, even if you let him jump, he won't be able to jump up anymore .” Speaking of this, Xuan Shijing sneered: “Let’s go too.” As he spoke, he secretly winked at the two of them.

Chang Le and Gao Jun glanced at each other, they would notice Xuan Shijing's eyes, and followed Xuan Shijing silently to "leave" the sky prison.

The sky prison is very wide around, there are houses, all of which are official houses, high-walled courtyards, Jin Yiwei has already arranged here in advance, waiting for the fish to catch the net as soon as they take the bait.

After leaving the sky prison, Xuan Shijing also went to the place where Jin Yiwei temporarily assembled, patiently waiting for these people to come and rob the prison.

There is a distance from the sky prison, it is a road, and there are many intersections in it, one of which is a straight road leading to the sky prison, there are occasional pedestrians passing by on that road, in Xuan Shijing Not long after leaving, the woodcutter who was resting on the side of the road picked up the firewood and left the intersection.

In the backyard of a grocery store in the west city of Chang'an City, a woodcutter was carrying firewood in one hand and knocked on the door of the backyard with the other free.

After the door was knocked, a human voice came from inside.

"Who?"

"The woodcutter on the southwestern mountain of Chang'an City has brought firewood."

The door was opened, and a man dressed as a servant leaned out and asked, "What kind of firewood is this today? If it's a poplar branch, I don't want it first."

"Look, the best pear trees are perfect for bacon."

"Okay, let's send it in." The boy stepped aside, let the woodcutter in, and then closed the gate of the backyard.

After entering the door, the woodcutter put the firewood in the corner beside the courtyard gate, and the servant quickly walked up to the woodcutter and asked, "How's the situation? I'm waiting for news from you now. "
