Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 24 The general is drunk, the maid is shocked
Jiang Qingmeng's voice trembled slightly.

Since she was a child, she has been pampered and loved. She is loved by the King of the North in the palace, and she is protected by the master of the innate second-grade Haoyue Realm outside. But now her father is seriously ill, and the master has cut off her relationship. She is left alone to face the forced Marriage dilemma.

In such a situation, what if she doesn't want to marry?
The seriously ill father and king remained silent, making it clear that he supported Erniang's plan to sell her daughter to seek alchemy. The master who had broken off the relationship had already buried the sword in the ground, and he couldn't just abandon his beloved scholar and hold the kitchen knife all the way for an abandoned disciple. From the capital to the palace, right?

As for the fourth brother...

In the palace, his words are not as effective as his own.

"Fourth brother, I'm leaving!"

Jiang Qingmeng sniffed, then smiled sweetly at Jiang Qingyu:
"You don't have to worry about me, Master can fall in love with a scholar, maybe I can find my true love too."

"The disciples of the Hidden World Sect are better than scholars, no matter what?"

"I don't believe that none of these young men can get into my heart!"

Jiang Qingyu was very distressed, but she didn't know what to say. She was silent for a long time before choking out a sentence:
"Why don't you go hide with Si Niang for a few days?"

Although the family background of the fourth wife of the palace, Jin's family, is not prominent, but after all, she is the wife of the King of Rejection, and most people would be courteous.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingmeng shook his head and said:
"No."

"Fourth brother, what's the use of you hiding in Ziyan courtyard for more than ten years?"

"If you can't protect yourself, you can't protect the people you care about."

The girl smiled desolately, tears wet Jiang Qingyu's shoulders:

"Fourth brother, I don't blame you for being mediocre."

"I heard you asked Uncle Jiang Shan to help you in the Sutra Pavilion yesterday. It was the happiest day I laughed since I left the capital."

"How I wish you had been bearing the burden of humiliation!"

Jiang Qingyu gritted her teeth tightly and said nothing.

Jiang Qing dreamed that he blamed himself so much, in order to reduce the guilt of the other party, he made a forced smile, which made people feel more distressed:
"Fourth brother, you don't have to tell me anything."

"If you really have a city in your chest, then you shouldn't show your flaws for me."

"If you are really a mediocre person, then..."

"If my sacrifice can exchange for a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to extend your life, then at least during the time your father is alive, you can continue to hide in the Ziyan Courtyard and be an idiot who doesn't have to worry about anything. Isn't it pretty good too?"

Jiang Qingmeng didn't dare to look at Jiang Qingyu's expression.

She was afraid that she would see something, but also afraid that she would not see anything.

She just shook off Jiang Qingyu's arm gracefully, turned a few times on the way as she did when she was a child, and then gradually moved away in the direction where the disciples of the hidden world sect were leaving.

Jiang Qingyu stood on the spot, her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched slightly.

Qingmeng, the fourth brother promises.

No matter how this family collapses, it will not be reduced to the point of selling girls for pills.

……

On this day, when Jiang Qingyu returned to Ziyan Courtyard, the old housekeeper Xu Erhu had ordered someone to repair his bedroom.

So after hastily eating his lunch, he lay down to sleep again under the unsurprising eyes of the eldest maid Lichun.

After falling into the dream, Jiang Qingyu's Yin body did not go to Qianjian Lake to practice "Yu's Sword Classic", nor did she go to the bedroom of King Beibei to observe his condition, but left the palace directly and went to a brothel in the east of the city.

The brothel is called "General's Drunk", and it is one of the best selling treasuries in the royal city, and it is also the favorite place for soldiers in the northern border to have fun.

It is rumored that "General Drunk" is the property of the King of the North.

As for why the King of the North wanted to build a brothel, there are different opinions.

Some said it was to appease and reward the soldiers who were born and died on the front line, some said it was to make money, and some said it was for the golden house to hide the beauty...

But few people know that "General Drunk" is actually the property of that idiot Jiang Qingyu.

"General, please—"

At the entrance of the brothel, a procuress dressed up in fancy clothes was soliciting customers.

Most of the people who come to the brothel are men from all walks of life who are addicted to drinking and sex, and a small number of them are officers and soldiers who have been on the front line for too long to relax.

Among the remaining people, there are old people who can sit and listen to music all day with a plate of peanuts, young guys who just stare at the hills and ravines for the first time, and some who hold a kitchen knife and broom and curse. A vicious shrew who catches a man...

There are six floors in General's Drunk. On the first and second floors, you can only eat wine and listen to music, and on the third and fourth floors, there are only girls to accompany guests.

The oiran lives on the fifth floor, and an auction will be held at the beginning of each month. Those with the highest bid can spend the night with the oiran. They can only eat wine, listen to music, touch their little hands, and tell a few nasty jokes, but they are not allowed to cross the line. .

Otherwise, once there is a sign, they will be beaten out.

No one ever actually got it.

Those who participated in the auction were all famous people, so it would not be possible for a woman to break the general's drunken rules and contradict the Northern King's majesty.

And there is another rule when the general is drunk:
If someone really falls in love with a certain oiran, as long as they are in love with the oiran, and promise to be married by a clear matchmaker, and pay enough gold and silver, then they can redeem him.

It has been 11 years since General Drunk was established in Wangcheng. A total of [-] oirans have married into the famous general family.

It was just after noon, and there were not many customers in the brothel.

Jiang Qingyu's yin body was still dressed in a white robe mask. Instead of going through the main entrance, he avoided everyone's sight and went directly through the window from the top floor to a room on the sixth floor.

The fifth floor of General Zui is where several oirans live, and the sixth floor above the fifth floor is never open to the public. Outsiders only think that there are old bustards and innate masters who secretly guard the brothel.

But the room Jiang Qingyu entered was a woman in her twenties.

A beautiful woman with a graceful manner and a beautiful appearance, which made several oirans feel ashamed when they met.

This woman is the proprietress of the general drunk behind the scenes. The oirans in the brothel call her "Dreamman", which means "dream lover".

But apart from Mengren, she also has a name unknown to outsiders:

Shocked.

Awakening of Insects in the 24 solar terms including Lichun, Yushui, Jingzhe, Spring Breeze, Qingming, Guyu, Lixia, and Xiaoman.

Like Lichun and Xiaoman, this woman is also one of Jiang Qingyu's servant girls.

The only difference from the previous two is that Jingzhe is a maid that Jiang Qingyu voluntarily chose 12 years ago.

He was also the first person to see his Yin body.

At this time, the woman named "Dreamman" was kneeling barefoot on the carpet, her black hair hanging from her chest to her waist, outlining a full curve.

She held a cup of tea in both hands, and the water reflected willow brows, vermilion lips, pink rouge, more intense than the fragrance of tea.

"Young master just happened to come, and the servant girl's tea has just been brewed."

Mengren's red lips parted slightly, first he took a sip of tea, and then pushed the remaining half cup of tea to Jiang Qingyu's body:
"My lord, please sit down and drink some tea, and listen to the news about the Nine-Turn Golden Pill."
