Concubine can't do it

Chapter 55
Mu Shaoqing still remembers the way she met Hua Zhirou for the first time.

At that time, she had just reached the age of Ji, and her parents had prepared a house in Juanshan for her as a wedding ceremony.But before reaching Juanshan, there was an accident on the road, and she was left alone with her brother who was two years younger than her.

Juanshan's house deed disappeared along with her parents.Yunlai's house was forcibly occupied by his relatives again.She and her younger brother moved to the dilapidated old house, and learned the piano for three days by chance, but the master died again.Following her senior sister into Luoxiangfang, she was so nervous that she might cry at any time.When she entered the door, she bumped into him who was in a hurry to get out. He was obviously the one who left in a hurry, but she was so frightened that she knelt down and kept kowtowing.

A girl who is not considered pampered, but has not lived a hard life, wants to live on her own and take care of her frail younger brother. He can probably imagine how difficult it would be.Just looking at her humble and timid appearance, the softest part of my heart can be poked sour.At that time, my younger brother was short of the latest payment for the medicine, so she made up her mind and said that she would do anything as long as she could sell it at a higher price.

And he didn't know why.There are so many poor girls in Luoxiangfang, but he feels sorry for her alone.No matter how many good things she said to her mother, she persuaded her to become Qin Ji.Of the 500 taels of silver she sold herself, 300 taels of which were paid by him.Over the years, he has saved a lot of money, but he still has to spend it tightly to open a store in the future.But for some reason, because of her, he gave up the 300 taels without feeling a bit distressed.

At that time, he would always think that there is such a thing as love at first sight in the world.

"Master Mu, I...I haven't practiced this song well yet."

"Brother Mu, listen to this, isn't the sound wrong?"

"Shao Qing, I have finally practiced this song, come and listen to it..."

"Shaoqing, I miss you so much..."

At that time, they didn't say any explicit love words to each other.But it's gradually becoming intimate.Sometimes he would dare to hold her hand, which always made her blush.Leaving aside that layer of identity, she is clearly just a little girl who has just begun to fall in love.

She fears and guards against everyone except her younger brother.Only to him, she can surrender her little trust.When she kissed her lips for the first time, she was so ashamed that her face was about to bleed, but when she heard that he was going out to collect materials, she became worried for an instant and took the initiative to kiss back.

"Shaoqing, come back safely."

Her exhortations are always so gentle.The last time she said to him in that gentle and intimate tone was probably the sentence before he left, "I'll wait for you to come back."

When he comes back, he will propose marriage.She would happily agree, and he embraced her in his arms.

What a wonderful idea.

How did it become what it is today.

In less than two months, what happened would cause her temperament to change, her habits to change, and even her tone of voice and walking posture to change.

Especially, it changed her heart.Transformed into the most respectable person in Yunlai City.

The excitement of the Yuping Festival will last for three days.But from the second day onwards, the girls in the brothel could only return to their respective places to welcome guests.After all, the brothel has spent a lot of money to accept so many girls, and it is impossible to always let them do private work.

In order to let herself think less about Jun Qingchen, Hua Weixi resumed receiving guests from the second day.

Money is always there to save.Always relying on the money worth Qufen can only be used for daily expenses.After all, in this place, the expenses are higher, even if there are clothes and jewelry that Jun Qingchen gave him, she still has to add two pieces from time to time.This is a rule and cannot be avoided.

In addition, she was worried that Hua Zhihong's child would not be able to take good care of herself, so she had to save more money. From now on, she would go to see him once a month and urge him to take good care of herself, which would be considered as repayment for Hua Zhirou's life.

In this way, a few days of busy days passed, the Yuping Festival passed, and the number of people talking about the screen door accident on the street gradually decreased.

Only Hua Wei, even when playing music for the guests or having a drink with the guests, still thinks about Jun Qingchen's safety.

She had never missed a person so much.Even if I came here alone, I never missed my mother so frequently.

Lu'er was gone, so she occasionally went to talk to Wushuang.Wushuang didn't talk as much as Lu'er, most of them were listening.It's like she and Lu'er were swapped back then.Hua Wei didn't say anything else, most of them were talking about the combination of music and dance.Wushuang will teach her two simple dances when she is interested. She still dances gracefully, but the dance lacks soul and becomes empty and lifeless.

Hua Wei didn't want to learn dancing seriously, but just played the piano in order to better cater to the dancer's beat, so she also got familiar with the feeling of dancing.

Just like this, I survived the most difficult few days. In mid-October, someone in Luoxiangfang finally talked about it, "Hey, you said that the young master of the Jun family is also strange, as if he was a different person. He hasn't seen him tossing around since he came back to Yunlai? He still went to contact business in a serious way, and checked the goods for Master Jun. He went to the screen door to pour a heavy rain, and his mind was flooded?"

"I also think it's strange." Another person said, "Two days ago, I went to Junji Restaurant with Boss Qian to discuss business. I saw that Young Master Jun cut off half of the business, but Boss Qian was very angry. Logically speaking Said that this young master Jun is used to being a loafer, so he wouldn't have such a great ability, right? Boss Qian is an old fritter, but his surname is Jun, and he speaks with reason and evidence, and the other party almost transfers [-]% of the business to him. "

The person before laughed: "Then the other party must not be from Yunlai."

"That's right, Juanshan is here!" Another person sighed, "That's why Boss Qian is so angry."

Generally, people who come to Juanshan to discuss business are basically big customers.Most of the talk has to do with food.Yunlai's soldiers were originally engaged in farming, but this time they were divided into [-] soldiers, and the vacancy in manpower could not be filled for a while.Now it's the autumn harvest, but nearly [-] people have died, so the price of food will definitely change compared with previous years.

After all, Juanshan is rich in products but rarely produces grain. Yunlai, which has the most abundant grain in the entire Canglan country, can almost be regarded as the lifeblood of the country's grain production.This time, even if people are temporarily hired to help, the price of food will undoubtedly rise a lot.Especially the customers from Juanshan, in order to ensure the maintenance of Juanshan, even if the price of food has doubled, he will accept it.Half of such an important business was robbed, and everyone would feel pain.

Boss Qian didn't lose Jun Qingchen in reputation, nor did he lose in eloquence.In fact, he only lost one sentence, which was "my uncle is King Yun."

King Yun is in charge of food distribution in Yunlai.If he wants to take care of his nephew's business, everyone else has to stand back and say nothing.

Because Jun Qingchen's selling price will definitely not be higher than other grain merchants in Yunlai.

Otherwise, even if King Yun wore a mask, there would be no place to put his face.

Jun Qingchen's action was very good at restraining other grain merchants from raising their prices indiscriminately.No wonder King Yun agreed with him to do so.

"Hey! The Jun family's property is already big enough. There are taverns, tea houses and restaurants all over the place, and they are still supporting arms in private. Now that Young Master Jun has to sell both grain and cloth, it is estimated that we small traders will be here in the future." He's begging for a piece of the action!"

"Not necessarily. Didn't it mean that Miss Jun's fiancé is going to marry into the Jun family! Then Young Master Jun is probably afraid that someone will come and rob him of the family property, so he suddenly worked so hard! But I think it's still Miss Jun's fiancé to do business. It's more appropriate! Young Master Jun will only play around for a few days, and when he fails to inherit the family property, he will probably give up!"

The other fell silent after hearing this.It makes sense to think about it.After all, Jun Qingchen is really unreliable.

Hua Weiwei stood blankly aside, listening so much without realizing it.Knowing that the two of them had noticed that she hadn't moved for a long time, someone teased and said, "Oh, isn't this Miss Zhengxie? Standing between the two of us, is she trying to solicit business? Tell me earlier, you're so delicate The beautiful woman stood there for so long, it's really our fault."

When talking about business matters, he still had a serious face, but in a blink of an eye he smiled lecherously again.Seeing this kind of person a lot makes my heart feel cold.Hua Weiwei smiled at them, and said shortly: "I'm sorry, my lords, but Zhengwei just got numb in his legs, I stood for a while, and I'll leave now, so I won't hinder my lords' eyes."

"Hey, why is it an eyesore? You come to accompany..." The man poured a glass of wine with a smile, but before he finished speaking, Hua Weiwei had already walked away quickly.

"Hey, this Zhengxiong girl is different from the cute girl she was when she first came here. Does she put on airs because she thinks she is popular?" The person who poured the wine immediately lowered his face and sneered, "What do you think you are? Wealth and life, a thing with thousands of people riding on tens of thousands of people's pillows, what kind of pretense are you pretending to us here!"

Another person also echoed: "She is like this, she will suffer sooner or later! Brother, don't be angry, let's have some fun! Seeing her like that, she doesn't even know how to serve others comfortably. I guess we are just playing." Not happy!"

"Yes, yes, order something familiar!" The man showed a lecherous expression again, waved his hand and called the steward.

Mu Shaoqing also occasionally helps Luoxiangfang.For example, when there are many people, I occasionally help recommend two girls.He had been listening nearby for a while, and his face was not very good.But after hearing what they said later, they put on a smiling face again.

"Second master, which girl do you want?"

"Oh, why is it a man?"

"You don't care if I'm a man or a woman, it must be a girl."

"..."

The two made eye contact with each other, "Brother, you can choose one for us. It's fun to have meat."

"I see." Mu Shaoqing smiled subtly, "No problem."

The two of them knew at a glance that they were not regular customers.Then it would be easier for him to start.

"The new Miss Qiushuang is an old hand, and she has a lot of fun playing. She must meet the requirements of the two of you." Mu Shaoqing wrote down twice in the notebook in her hand, "Send it to the two masters' room? Qiuye Residence in the courtyard, the room is big, there are many things, you can play anywhere, and you will enjoy it!"

The two of them were drooling when they heard it, and said again and again: "Okay, okay, I'll go right away! Is it okay for us to play together?"

Mu Shaoqing smiled meaningfully: "The more people there are, the more she welcomes them."

"Oh, so coquettish? We like it!" The two immediately stood up and were about to walk towards Qiuyeju.

Mu Shaoqing turned her head and said to Que'er, who was in charge of the girls, "Que'er, go and tell Miss Qiushuang to go back to the room!"

"Qiu Shuang?" Que'er was stunned for a moment, then asked in disbelief, "Really Qiu Shuang?"

"It's her." Mu Shaoqing said, "I have to take care of her business. It's not easy for the workshop to keep her for nothing. After all, it consumes a lot of food."

Que'er looked at him and instantly understood.Someone must have said bad things about Zheng Mao again, the light in Shao Qing's eyes became so sharp.

"Then I'll ask Qiushuang to change her clothes, she's mopping the floor in the backyard." Que'er said and hurried over.

Mu Shaoqing went back to the counter, opened the brochure, and found Qiushuang's name, which was the only place where the number was not written down, and wrote "one".I just don't know how this legendary girl who is promiscuous and caught in bed with three people will entertain these two guests who seem to have kidney deficiency?

Thinking about Miss Qiushuang's flesh, he also felt that this summer is really hot...

On the other end, Hua Weiwei returned to the room, thinking of what the two of them had said just now, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She should be happy that Jun Qingchen came back safe and sound.But she really felt uncomfortable in her heart.

She came back, but didn't tell her?It caused her to worry for so long in vain, and she didn't think about food and drink all day long.

unacceptable!

But... what obligation does he have to tell her that he is back?They were originally two people who were not even considered friends, and had no connection with each other other than business dealings, so what could she ask for?

Not every guest's whereabouts have to be reported to her, right?
Hua Wei's heart was bitter, and she still couldn't tell.I can only comfort myself for a long time, at least it will be good if he comes back.If he didn't die this time, he should be safe, right?After helping him this time, he will not die young again in the future, and go to the seventh reincarnation, right?

It can be regarded as a little relieved, and I feel that there will be no contact in the future.Hua Wei calmed down for a moment, and called Wushuang.

"Tell Mama Dong for me. In the future, as long as the price is reasonable and the guests know the rules, they can recommend them for me. These days, I should get in touch with other guests more and understand some truths."

Wushuang looked at the dim light in her eyes, and responded, "Yes."

A few days later, Master Jun and King Yun also came back.

The reason Hua Weiwei knew about this was because Master Jun ordered her business for the second time.Although sister Xu said it was inappropriate, Hua Weiwei still took over the business.

The location was still her room, and the only thing that changed was the smell of incense.Master Jun stepped into the room before her, and said, "Have a jar of wine."

Hua Weiwei turned around and walked to the corridor and called, "Wushuang, bring a jug of wine over here!"

"Wushuang?" When she returned to the room, Master Jun murmured, "Is it the girl that the angry old Zhang almost fell into the ground?"

Hua Wei: "..."

Is it so exaggerated?
Hua Wei smiled awkwardly, saw Wushuang passing by the door, and said softly: "It should be."

Master Jun nodded, and looked around her room with his chin resting on the back of his hand, "I heard that Chen'er often comes here."

Hua Wei said: "Since Young Master Jun came back from the screen door, he hasn't been here again."

Master Jun is really ugly, and his wretched demeanor makes people want to stay away.But in his eyes, there was a sharp light, which was completely inconsistent with his own inside and outside.

Hua Weiwei thought of Helian, people are not judged by appearances.

"Last time, I told you some strange things, do you still remember?" Master Jun asked again.

Hua Wei bit her lip when she heard this.

Most of what he said last time were very strange, right?But she actually forgot all about it.

At this time, should I say I remember or not?Hua Wei didn't know either.But at this moment Wushuang walked in with a jar of aged wine.He bowed down very politely to Master Jun and said, "Master Jun is well."

"Okay, um, okay." Master Jun didn't even look at her, he just stared at the wine, "Go down."

Wushuang retreated.

"Pour wine." Master Jun lifted his chin towards the wine jar, and said again: "You don't have to drink with me this time."

Hua Wei was a little surprised, and suddenly thought of something when pouring the wine: "Master Jun said last time that my concubine is a famous concubine who is not drunk for a thousand cups, but except you, no one has ever called a concubine like that. There is a concubine Senior sister from the same village, she can drink really well, and deserves the title of never getting drunk after a thousand cups."

Master Jun took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then put the empty glass back to its original place.

"It was I who mistook the two of you. So I said some strange things, don't blame you."

"The concubine knows, just explain clearly." Hua Weiwei smiled and poured another glass of wine for him.

This Mr. Jun is addicted to alcohol like his life. He takes a sip and comes back after drinking, but he will not get drunk, and he can drink very well.Hua Weichen kept pouring wine for him, and the two of them talked about what Jun Qingchen did when he was with her.Hua Wei said something picky and picky, and she was muttering in her heart.

Didn't it mean that the relationship between the father and son of the Jun family is not good?The first time I came to Jun Qingchen, I asked Brother Shuanglang to carry Master Jun out.Why are you now so concerned to show her the deep love between father and son?
But she could almost be said to have no father.I also don't know how the father and children get along with each other on weekdays.If you are asked, you will be asked, and there will be no loss of meat.

Half of the jar of wine was down, Master Jun took a break from the wine room, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, and said, "Go and play me a tune, just play what Ping Richen'er likes to listen to."

"Yes." Hua Wei stood up as a salute, then turned around and stepped behind the screen.

Although she hadn't played the brisk and melodious tune for a while, she was already familiar with where the fingertips should land and how much force should be used every moment.If it weren't for this song, probably so many things wouldn't have happened between her and Jun Qingchen, right?

It's a pity that Mingxi will probably play for him in the future.She is worthless.

But why does she feel sorry?
There are familiar movements in the hands, but there are thousands of turns in the heart.It wasn't until Master Jun commented: "Your heart is in a mess", that Hua Kuai stopped suddenly, causing a string of the qin to break.

"Concubine..." Hua Wei opened his mouth, then walked out of the screen, and knelt down in front of Master Jun, "Concubine deserves to die, and I hope Master Jun will not be bored because of concubine's mistakes. Today's song Qian The concubine will not be accepted!"

"This old man is not bad. I just wanted to ask you about Chen'er's condition these days." Master Jun picked up the wine jar, "He has lived at Brother Ling's since he came back from the screen door, and has never returned home. My wife is anxious and worried, So I'm here to ask him if he's been here, to see if you can persuade him to go home."

Jun Qingchen never came home?

Hua Yuxi was a little worried, "This... I haven't seen Mr. Jun since I was born. I don't know why Master Jun doesn't go to King Yun to find someone?"

"..." Master Jun paused, raised his head and took a big sip of wine, "Since you can't see him, I'll go back first. If he comes to look for you, you can go to Jun's mansion and tell him."

"Then... don't I need to persuade Mr. Jun to go back?" Hua Wei asked.

Master Jun put down the wine jar, and looked meaningfully at the small wine glass on the table.

"No one can persuade him to do what he wants to do."

Also.

Hua Wei said: "The concubine knows about it. When the young master Jun comes here, I will definitely ask more about his condition, and then report to the master."

Master Jun nodded, stood up unsteadily, and was about to go out the door: "I'll go to pay the bill."

Seeing him, it seemed that he might fall somewhere at any time.Hua Yumo thought to herself, could it be that Master Jun can't drink as much as she thought?
Uneasy, he chased him out to have a look, and sure enough, when Master Jun was going down the stairs, he bent over. After thinking about it, he was finally worried that something happened to his guest, especially Jun Qingchen's father.

She rushed over a few steps and supported Master Jun.

"My concubine will help you walk for a while."

Master Jun didn't object.

When paying the bill, I deliberately gave her 20 taels of silver.

20 taels is really not a small amount.That's enough to buy a dozen maids.The rabbit in the palm looked red-eyed, really like a rabbit.Hua Weiwei helped Master Jun walk all the way until he got into the sedan chair of the Jun Mansion, and he received many strange eyes on the way.Back at Luoxiangfang, Hua Weimao went back to the room calmly, and put the money he just got into the drawer.

Just touching the drawer, her heart was shaken heavily.

He touched it again, and then simply pulled it out completely.Hua Weiwei held the whole sheepskin, her heart beating non-stop, staring at the drawer with no other items and couldn't move her eyes.

What about her belongings! !

The second reaction was to search for other money stash places in the house.Everything else is there.But everything added up was not as good as the one thousand two hundred taels of silver she hid in the drawer.

How could this be?There is only one key in her small drawer, which is always with her.How could others take money from her little drawer intact?

Slowed down, but my mind went blank.Hua Wei fell weakly on the thick carpet, her hand hurt, and was pricked with blood by a small piece of broken tile.

Was it left behind when you first arrived, hidden by the foot of the chair and covered with a blanket, so it wasn't cleaned?

The pain in my hands was severe, and the pain in my heart was even worse.Hua Wei gasped heavily, got up and went out the door.
