Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 87 Extra Story [-]: Liu Bi, the Easterner of Swallow House
I was born in May of the first year of Yuanwu, in a small place called Niutou Town in Liaocheng, Shandong. However, the place where I grew up was the busiest place in this small place, and it is also the place that all kinds of men in Niutou Town most yearn for— — Lichun Courtyard.

In the first year of Wande, my mother was Yu Wanqing, the number one oiran in the Lichun Courtyard. It is said that her fame once made Niutou Town, a small town that couldn't be smaller, very popular overnight in Liaocheng and even the entire Shandong Province. famous.And my mother's benefactors ranged from local rich people to some important people who didn't want to reveal their identities, they had everything that one could expect.

Until one day, the county magistrate, in order to please General Pinlu, persuaded my mother to enter the general's mansion to perform dances.

General Pinlu was amazed, so my mother was forced to stay in the general's residence for three days.When my mother was released, she was tortured to the brink of death. She was covered in bruises and her calves were bent. From then on, she could no longer perform the Bao and Manny dance that had been praised by countless poets and poets. She could not even walk. It became a problem, and the worst thing was that the bridge of the nose, once known as the number one beauty in Shandong, was abruptly broken.

Once the beauties are gone, the kindness of half a life will be gone.The poets and poets who usually swore to each other day and night with my mother cursed General Pinlu a few words, and then walked away.In this era of military dictatorship, among those so-called omnipotent benefactors, naturally no one dared to stand up for my mother, and they disappeared in my mother's life one after another, and never appeared again.My mother has also fallen from the top card to a low-level whore that any yellow-toothed peddler can play with.

Just as she was preparing a rope to meet my grandparents, she was rescued by her sisters, my future godmothers, and unexpectedly found a new life in her womb.

A child can always miraculously give a woman infinite courage to live, even if the woman doesn't even know who the father of the child is.

My mother endured all kinds of hardships, and finally made it to the time of labor, but she encountered dystocia.The old bustard was afraid that one dead body and two lives would bring bad luck to Li Chun Yuan, so she cruelly threw her in the woodshed.Fortunately, the leading oiran, Hongcui, was once my mother's maid, and she found a midwife for my mother.When my mother was in the most pain, she saw a group of golden swallows flying around her in a trance, and then the biggest one rushed into her stomach, and then I suddenly got out of her body and landed on the ground. On the torn blanket she usually receives guests from.

My birth brought unprecedented joy and passion to my mother and all the girls in Lichunyuan. They gave out their bodies to buy food and clothing for my mother and me, and competed to be godmothers. Take turns to see me and hug me.Even the procuress, who has always been sarcastic, couldn't let go of my little black face, because I was always giggling.

So I acted coquettishly and invited pets from time to time in the powder pile of godmothers, and grew up day by day amidst the lewd voices.

Under the care of all the godmothers, I have grown extremely fast, and I am a head taller than boys of the same age.When I was ten years old, my head was as flat as my mother's shoulders, which is very good in an ordinary family, but for a boy who grew up in a brothel, it was a bit embarrassing, and the madam began to discuss with my mother. There was no question of whether to stay or not, so they decided to let me become a luthier, a cook, or learn to sing.

However, all the zithers in Lichun Courtyard have been broken by my naturally thick fingers, and I still haven't learned it.

The cook of the Lichun Court complained to the madam that I broke all the bowls in the kitchen.

But I proudly told the bustard that I am still very talented in opera.On this day, Aunt Hongcui's voice was uncomfortable, so she asked me to sing to her regular customers.This is my first time on stage, and I'm so happy.I went in full of energy, made my appearance with great fighting spirit, and yelled so loudly, Aunt Hongcui’s golden master—Yuanwai Zhao, who was fifty years away, jumped up high in fright, and then fell straight down. Go down and never get up again.

Everyone in the Lichun Courtyard was afraid, fearing that people from the Zhao family would make trouble. Fortunately, the more than a dozen concubines and young masters and ladies in the Zhao residence were so busy fighting for the family property that they had no time to attend to the Lichun Courtyard.

However, this incident still made the madam realize that it was impossible to train me to be a cash cow, so I started to learn another craft, thugs.

Years passed year after year as I listened to the thugs spitting and commenting on the girls' eclectic sex in bed.

On this day, a military master entered my mother's room, and after a while, my mother's screams came from the room.Because it was a military disturbance, the thugs did not dare to go there, and my mother was an old prostitute who seldom interacted with nobles, so no one came to rescue me, only I rushed in regardless of the obstruction, and saw the straight mother thief riding on my mother with a grinning grin. body, beat my mother severely with a riding whip.

I was 13 years old that year, and I was already as tall as a 16-year-old boy. For the first time, I felt a kind of anger that wanted to burn.I stepped forward and beat that straight lady thief until her teeth were broken, her head was bleeding, and she escaped from Lichun Courtyard bleeding all the way, which showed that those martial artists taught me well, but they sent Lichun Courtyard to Most of the guests looking for fun fled in fright.The five thugs finally got me under control. They had to tie me up with ropes and lock me in the firewood courtyard for several days before I was released.

But my mother saw fear in my eyes for the first time.Many years later, I only told one girl about this past that was buried in my heart.To my surprise, she didn't have the fear I imagined, instead, her sly eyes shone with excitement. She said it was blood boiling, and she also said that only a mother is good in the world, so I did the right thing, and I am definitely the most bloody filial son .

On the day I came out of the firewood house, the madam ordered me to change my job again, and made me do the most basic job - turtle slave.The fear in my mother's eyes became more and more profound, because I looked more and more like the General Pinlu who ruined her life.

I became the youngest tortoise slave in the history of Lichun Courtyard, until one day, a woman with a big chin twisted her waist to talk to the old bustard.She is the most legendary human trafficker, Chen Yujiao. It is said that when she was young, she was also a red prostitute in the Lichun Courtyard. Later, she fell in love with a scholar. She took out all the savings that had been used for ransom, and used it for him to study in Beijing to catch the exam. , won the Jinshi, and then, like all the love stories of prostitutes and scholars, the scholar naturally betrayed his heart and wanted to marry a woman with a clean family background. He didn't want Chen Yujiao to insult his family style, so he asked his family to return the money she lent him .

Chen Yujiao didn't cry or make a fuss, she just accepted the money lightly, redeemed herself, and then quietly followed that family member to the capital, where she angrily reprimanded the scholar's injustice in person at the scholar's wedding, and then in front of many guests Take the knife to wipe your neck.

She was miraculously rescued by a nobleman with the original surname, and then became a human trafficker unbelievably.

That Chen Yujiao had a secret chat with the old bustard for a while, and then came to see me who was squatting in the corner with sleeves wrapped around him to keep warm, and then told my mother that I have a noble figure, and that the Yuan family in Xi'an is recruiting young men to serve as guards, so that they can eat and drink. Living, being able to practice literature and martial arts, and monthly money, if you send me to Yuan's family, I may be able to rise to the top in the future, it will definitely be better than begging an old prostitute and being a turtle slave for the rest of my life.

After my mother was brainwashed by Chen Yujiao, she sat in the room in a daze, shed tears all night, and finally decided to hand me over to Chen Yujiao.Then Chen Yujiao wanted to give money to my mother, but instead she stuffed the money and the few taels of silver she had accumulated into Chen Yujiao's hands, and insisted that she say something nice for me in front of the original master.Chen Yujiao looked at my mother's ugly tears in a daze, shook her head and sighed, what a miserable person again.

Amidst the cries of the godmothers and my mother from the Lichun Courtyard, Chen Yujiao led me into the bullock cart, which was empty, unexpectedly I was the first one.Then many children came up one after another, all of them were younger than me, and all of them had no personality at all, and they kept crying, especially the one named Qi Fang, who would take the lead in crying every time there was any movement, He still hugged me and asked me nonchalantly why his parents didn't want him anymore.

How do I know this.Every time they cry, I think about how my mother and my godmothers are doing well now, and whether there will be any guests who have grandsons to bully them.I felt so sad and regretted that I didn't rub my mother's legs before I left. Her legs would always flare up in rainy weather, and the pain was unbearable.But at that time, I was just too busy puffing up, ignoring her talking to me with tears...

But on the other hand, I blame my mother very much. Since she is determined to send me away, why did she have to go through all the troubles to give birth to me?

When I arrived in Jiangsu Mansion, the rainy season got into the ox cart, which made me feel very uncomfortable who was used to the northern land. In the rain, a second-hand trafficker flatteringly sent a handsome boy and a beautiful little girl.

The boy looked about my age, but he was extremely calm, unlike ordinary children.Standing beside him was a young woman in her twenties. The woman was dressed in shabby clothes, but she had a very noble temperament. She didn't seem to be from a small family, but there was a hideous sin branded on the left side of her face, which was shocking.And the little girl had a cold face, she was still wearing a filial piety dress, and a white flower on her hair.

The young woman stuffed a bundle into his arms with a cold face, and the boy stood on the ox cart, stretched out his hand to the beautiful little girl, and let her put his hand on the ox cart.The little girl's beautiful face blushed imperceptibly, and a gleam of light shone from her beautiful eyes, which were originally ashen ashes. Then, the moment the boy slipped into the curtain, a trace of sadness appeared on the young woman's cold face, and she called out: : "Shi Lang, you, you have to take care... Our family depends entirely on you."

The boy turned his head, looked at the woman, his eyes were painful and cold, sighed like an adult, got out of the bullock cart, opened the oil umbrella, and handed it to the woman, "Sister, go back quickly, don't be caught by the rain." If you get wet and get sick, Shi Lang will take care of himself."

Then he nodded slightly, and got into the bullock cart with his bundle in his arms. He glanced calmly for a week, and sat beside the beautiful girl.

My curiosity was aroused, and when the bullock cart was bumping, I took the opportunity to squeeze in between the man and the woman. I put my hands in my sleeves, and wanted to strike up a conversation with the boy who looked like an adult, but he was reluctant to say anything. Jin, refused to say a word even to death.I turned around and talked to the little girl again, but she looked at me with unusually defensive eyes, flinched and slightly pushed my forward body, and was so frightened that she refused to even say her name.

Hey, when did my cute face of godmothers, thugs, turtle slaves, and benefactors become so unpopular? !

I was bored, and turned back to the opposite side of them depressedly. Qi Fang, who was sleeping in a daze, squeezed over again, holding my arm, and couldn't shake it off, so I could only be more depressed.

We traveled for a few more months and came to a place called Huajia Village in Jianzhou.At this time, Jianzhou had just experienced floods, not to mention flowers, not even a few grasses.

I was looking through the curtains, only to hear a crisp voice from outside haggling with Mrs. Chen. I lifted the curtain and peeked out, only to see a peerless little beauty with purple pupils squatting under the sunlight. He wiped his eyes helplessly on the ground.I secretly sighed, if such a beautiful woman is in our Lichun Courtyard, she will become a famous prostitute in Yanhai within five years, and she must be just around the corner.

The little girl with purple pupils depended on a small figure with long braids, who was talking to Chen Yujiao with her face up, and Chen Yujiao was slightly surprised.

The little figure suddenly turned around, the sun shone on her body, her agile black pupils turned to me, her appearance was much inferior to that of the girl with purple pupils beside her, but those clear and beautiful eyes, Infinitely cunning yet extremely firm.She turned around on my face, and then turned back, and my heart moved involuntarily.This is obviously a little girl who is only seven or eight years old, why her eyes seem to have accumulated decades of worldly feelings, as if her bright eyes are deeper and clearer than the eyes of the girls and my mother in Lichun Courtyard, so this One day I met the enemy of my life.

My friend pulled the little girl with purple pupils into the bullock cart, saw me looking at the little girl with purple pupils foolishly, called me generously, and told me that her surname was Hua, her first name was Hibiscus, the hibiscus of Mujinhua, And the little beauty with purple pupils is Hua Jinxiu, her twin sister.

Ever since Hua Mujin got into the ox cart, there was anger in the cart, and I had someone to talk to, so I told her loudly that my name was Yu Feiyan, and then just stared at her little face and stayed there.I retracted my chest with a guilty conscience, thinking of my mother's ten thousand warnings to tell me not to tell me that I came out of Lichun Courtyard, so as not to cause people to look down on me and miss my future, who told me to write Yu Feiyan in Niutou The town is quite "famous". Could it be that she has heard of my name?
Her younger sister secretly pinched her and pulled her back to reality, then she suddenly smiled, and began to tell me the story of Zhao Feiyan, and said that in the future I will be rich and honorable, and I will be an excellent minister.

I never knew that my name could still be associated with the Empress of One Country. Those so-called customers with a lot of ink in their stomachs once laughed at my name for being too powdery, and my mother and godmother would say it back It's easy to feed, and the little ghost will definitely not pay attention to it when he comes to collect the soul.

I really didn't expect that she would know so much. When she spoke with a smile, her whole face instantly lit up, and all of us couldn't help but be attracted to her.It’s as if a few years later, after a major locust plague, she said to me seriously that bugs naturally like sunlight, and moths jump at the fire not because they look beautiful at the fire, but because they instinctively make them jump at it.

So like that moth, I felt her smile so warm from the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't look away anymore.

Qi Fang turned his back on him early, crawled to her side, and hugged her instead, even the quiet boy and the timid girl opened their mouths when they looked at her.Only now did I know that the boy was Song Minglei, from Huaiyin, and the beautiful little girl was from Chun'an, Zhejiang, named Yao Biying.
