Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

chapter 616

Nanjing City, Red Bean Pavilion.

Compared to last year, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan, the second of Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, are getting thinner.

"Sister, you're in a daze again." Dong Xiaowan, who was dressed in green clothes, said softly with a needle and thread in her hand.

Li Xiangjun sat alone by the window in a daze, on the table under the window was also a set of female red needlework, and she was holding a half-embroidered round fan in her hand.

It can be vaguely seen that the one embroidered on the top is a handsome man, who is standing on the top of the city in a purple python suit, unlike Wen Sheng, but with a saber on his waist, it looks nondescript at first glance.

On the wall opposite to the desk case is a pair of calligraphy and painting. In the painting, a man is sitting in the attic with a folding fan in his hand, talking with the literary scholars. The characters are elegant and meaningful, but the words are:
If life is only as it was first seen, what is the autumn wind and the sad painting fan?

Li Xiangjun has read this poem many times in his heart, yes, if life is only like seeing it for the first time, but sometimes, seeing it for the first time is better than not seeing it for the first time.

Why bother to wait a year without seeing your beloved?If you can't meet each other, why bother with their fate?

"The room is so boring, let's go out for a walk with my sister." Li Xiangjun ignored Dong Xiaowan's teasing, put down the battle line in his hand and got up and said.

The red bean pavilion is not large in size and only covers an area of ​​several acres, but there are all kinds of pavilions, terraces and pavilions in the courtyard. Coupled with the gardening attainments of Jiangnan craftsmen, it is well-arranged and not compact.

It has been nearly a year since Liu Hongjian lifted their low status in October last year, and the two daughters have lived in the Red Bean House.

In ancient times, if a woman in a brothel can be redeemed by a rich man, even if she is a concubine, she would be considered lucky, and it would be better than wasting her precious youth in luxury.

Generally, women from Kenna brothels are concubines who are full of money, and if they are favored by a son or an official, it will be a blessing from the previous life.

At this time when feudal ethics killed people, such things would generally be popular among the people, such as Qian Qianyi's Liu Rushi, Hou Fangyu's Li Xiangjun, and Maoxiang's Dong Xiaowan.

It's just that history was stopped at the moment of Liu Hongjian's arrival. In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Liu Hongjian's words against Confucians, criticizing current politics, and helping the community left an indelible impression on Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan.

The key point is that Liu Hongjian is not talking on paper. In the past two years, the King of Anguo has fought against the outside world, saved the people from the fire and water, turned the tide from the collapse, and helped the building to collapse. These deeds have long been spread across the country.

In front of Liu Hongjian, whether Hou Fangyu, who had been studying hard to serve the country every day, or pretending to open up frontiers, all became bleak.

But it wasn't all these things that really touched the second daughter. What really made the second daughter never forget was the few poems that Liu Hongjian recited casually that day.

It was such a prince who was able to stabilize the country at the top and talk and laugh at the bottom, who actually lifted the two of them from their humble status.

The Jiaofang Division is not the same as the brothel. If there is money in the brothel, you can redeem yourself, but the Jiaofang Division directly belongs to the household department. If you don't have a certain ability, you can't use it even if you have money.

Their original life trajectory was just to smile as a qin music blogger in Jiaofangsi, and to grow old alone when they were old.

But all this changed because of Liu Hongjian. Liu Hongjian rescued the two daughters from the shackles with one sentence, and Qian Qianyi, a Jiangnan Hongru, gave them the elegant and unique red bean restaurant to live in.

The young lord fell in love with them, and in the first few days, the two girls were indeed both happy and uneasy in their hearts.

But time passed slowly, and that expectation slowly turned into waiting, and waiting is really the most torturous word.

In the past year, they have thought that the young prince will come quietly on a certain night when the breeze is intoxicated, and then embrace them in his arms.

In the past year, how many times have I been looking forward to it in the attic, and the pear blossoms are blooming in spring.

In the past year, on the banks of the Qinhuai River, there have been thousands of sails passing by, and the slanting glow is flowing slowly.

They knew that maybe they would never see that person again in this life, maybe that person just took pity on what happened to them and rescued them from the sea of ​​suffering, maybe...he didn't have any unreasonable thoughts about them.

For a year, Hou Fangyu and Mao Xiang came to the Hongdou Pavilion twice every three days to ask for an interview. Both of them were fathers and grandparents were court officials.

It's just that no matter whether it's Li Xiangjun or Dong Xiaowan, they both find that they can no longer tolerate others in their hearts, even if that man forgets them, even if they never see each other again.

The two girls are both in their twenties at the same age, they are considered old girls, now they no longer expect anything extravagantly, they just want to rely on being able to move now and earn more money for later use.

They don't have to go to singing and dancing anymore after leaving Jiaofang Division, and there are not even maids and servants in the red bean hall. The second daughter usually embroiders some needlework such as round fans and brocade handkerchiefs, and then entrusts someone to take them to the market on sale.

With the title of Oiran, the business of the second daughter is really good. Many Wen Sheng's sons came here especially for the purpose of buying and collecting. After a year, the 1000 taels of silver that Liu Hongjian handed over to them was not less, but more. Come out hundreds of taels.

In the small gazebo in the middle of the courtyard, Li Xiangjun is playing the qin, while Dong Xiaowan is holding a pipa.

Next to the pavilion is a huge sweet-scented osmanthus tree like a cover. It is the afternoon of autumn, with cool breeze, fragrant flowers, rustling piano, and countless sorrows and grievances.

"Miss Li—Miss Dong—are the two girls here? Xiaosheng is here to pay a visit!"

Suddenly there was a shout from outside the yard.

"Sister, Hou and Mao are here again." Dong Xiaowan pouted and put down the pipa in her arms.

For more than half a year, Hou Fangyu and Mao Xiang would come to the red bean hall to pay a visit as soon as the Nanjing Guozijian closed in the afternoon, but they were turned away by the officers and soldiers sent by Shi Kefa every time.

Shi Kefa failed to enter Beijing as he wished, but he was also doing well in Nanjing. He is currently the governor of Yingtian Fu and concurrently serves as Nanjing's garrison.

When Liu Hongjian left Nanjing last year, he specifically asked Shi Kefa to take care of the two girls, Li and Dong, and then left alone.

"Master Bing, I have no intention of waiting, I just want to see the two girls, let me wait in!" Hou Fangyu and Mao Xiang at the entrance of the red bean restaurant nodded and bowed.

"Without Mr. Shi's order, no one is allowed to enter and disturb the two girls. Please go back, two young masters!" The two captains with swords on duty at the door spoke very politely.

Both Hou and Mao are children of unusual families. Hou Fangyu is the son of Hou Xun, the former Minister of the Household Department, and his grandfather is also a leader of the Donglin Party.

It's just that Shi Kefa gave them a strict order, no one is allowed to enter without the permission of the two girls, Li and Dong, otherwise the consequences will be at their own risk.

In terms of military discipline, Shi Kefa has never recognized anyone, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to lead the famous Yangzhou Ten Days to resist the Qing army. The two government servants naturally knew Shi Kefa's temper and did not dare to neglect it.

"It's a small thing, Lord Wang Bing is accommodating." Mao Pijiang was very active, and directly took out ten taels of silver from his waist.

"What do you mean?" The two captains immediately became impatient, accepting bribes is a felony.

Now the imperial court has raised the salaries of the soldiers and never defaulted on them. The officers and soldiers stationed in all walks of life are very concerned about their jobs.

"It's nothing interesting. On this hot day, you two can go to a nearby wine shop and have a drink or two. It's my brother's invitation." Mao Pijiang said as if you knew me.

"The two young masters, please go back. Without Lord Shi's order, the young one would not dare to let the two young masters in. I hope you don't want to make things difficult for the young one."

"Hey! You two good-for-nothing bastards, don't think that I am afraid of you. Believe it or not, I just need to write a letter to my father and let you eat..."

Hou Fangyu saw that the two soldiers refused to accept the soft and the hard, and had already felt angry, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shi Kefa who came suddenly.

"Believe it or not, I will also write a letter to your father. At that time, it will be seen whether my subordinates will be blamed, or the two of you will be punished!"

PS: There was a huge shock in the Internet literary circle, many novels were banned, Hanhan had only one book closed by many author friends, and there was a lot of grief, and now I can’t describe it from the neck down, and the author group is even more miserable. Originally, I wanted to write something interesting next, but now Han Han is very entangled.

　Thanks to the book friends Datang Xiaobing 610, Drunken Lights and Watching Axes for the reward of 100 coins.
