Chapter 6
This female ghost claimed to be a slave, but it turned out to be a geisha who died of injustice in the Song Dynasty. The so-called geisha is naturally the kind who sells her art but not her body. Guessing, this is probably another injustice...

Bianliang was established as the capital in the Northern Song Dynasty, with Yanmen Pass in the north and Guangxi in the south.At that time, the Qinhuai River was full of songs and dances, but now the female ghost sitting in front of Lin Manlu, bowing her head and crying, was a qin girl on the largest painting boat on the Qinhuai River, named Li Xianglan. .

Li Xianglan was originally the daughter of the official family. When the current situation was turbulent, her father was on the wrong team. In the end, she did not expect that Taizu succeeded in seizing power, and her family fell into decline. Entrusted to an old friend on the Qinhuai River, I only hope that the other party can remember the old love and take care of his daughter.

It's just a woman who has been in the fireworks scene for a long time, and her heart is lost. There is no old love, so how can she just add a burden to herself for the sake of old customers, and let Li Xianglan live on her boat for half a year hypocritically. She didn't have a good face anymore, and finally succeeded in coaxing Li Xianglan to become her Qin Ji of the boat.

Li Xianglan was originally a cowardly character. After waiting for half a year, her father did not come to pick her up. She knew that this life might be like this.Then the old mother who was on the boat coaxed and frightened her, even though she was extremely unwilling, due to livelihood and coercion, she could only start performing arts on the boat.

The largest painting boat on the Qinhuai River has a rather depressing name—Qingyanfu, so the guests who come here are mostly officials, aristocrats, literati and elegant guests. Li Xianglan sits behind the blue veil of the painting boat, flicking her sad Quite a few guests appreciated the tune... Hearing this, Lin Manlu thought to himself—I'm used to eating fish and meat, so it's interesting to have a little refreshment once in a while.

Among these guests, there was a man who was a frequent customer of the light smoke painting boat. He happened to go to the painting boat too early, and accidentally saw Li Xianglan who was holding a piano and walking slowly behind the veil. From then on, she became especially fond of Li Xianglan.Later, the bustard of Huafang, that is, Li Xianglan's father's old friend, couldn't resist the temptation of the banknotes repeatedly sent by the guest, and finally put Li Xianglan, who was prostitute but not a performer, unconsciously in the guest's room.

Li Xianglan woke up from a dream, saw the man next to her, and then looked at her naked body. When all thoughts were lost, she immediately wanted to plunge into the surging water of the Qinhuai River. Unexpectedly, the man was lying on the bed and said slowly, "You If you want to die, I will not stop you, but since you are my man, I will not treat you badly, and you don't have to serve other men with your body, so I will pack you on this boat, and there is no need to I went out to play the piano for other guests. Every month I will give you some money as a monthly payment, you should think about whether you want to jump down."

Li Xianglan didn't remember the original words very clearly, but she told Lin Manlu intermittently based on her memory. Lin Manlu felt nondescript, but she couldn't help but interjected, "Damn! Let him play the piano alone, and let him play the piano alone. Playing the piano for a group of people, what's the difference?! It's better to play the piano for a group of people! Anyway, you don't have to trample your own body by playing the piano for other guests!"

Li Xianglan turned her face, stared at Lin Manlu with a pair of almond eyes for a while, then nodded lightly, "Yes, sir, you are right, but I didn't think of this level at the time, thinking about myself Although the body is already unclean, if you want to become a prostitute, you are absolutely unwilling, but you don't want to end your life like this, so you have to endure the humiliation, and from then on, you will serve this guest exclusively in this boat."

Lin Manlu panicked after hearing this, grabbed the cup on the table, looked up and poured a big mouthful of tea, and after taking a long breath, said, "And then? Are you pregnant?"

Li Xianglan nodded, and a look of resentment appeared on her face instantly, "The slave family has only served that man for two months, and then found out that she was pregnant. Even my mother didn't dare to tell her, so I only talked with him secretly, hoping that he could take care of the child. For the sake of taking the mother and child out of the slave family, the slave family can give birth to the child safely. The man immediately agreed to the slave family, saying that he would buy it immediately when he went back. The slave family did not expect him to agree so easily, and he just waited happily. He came to pick up the slave family, but he didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect him to leave forever?" Lin Manlu asked.

Li Xianglan nodded, then shook her head again, "After he left for five months, I couldn't hide my stomach anymore. My mother bought red flowers and insisted on killing the seven-month-old baby in my belly. I wouldn't die." Ken, finally bought a tortoise slave with his savings, and asked him to tell the guest what happened to the slave's house. The tortoise slave did go, but the person who came to Huafang later was not the guest, but his wife .”

Lin Manlu couldn't help but sneered, but didn't speak.

Li Xianglan paused, and said, "When the lady saw the lady walking into the boat with high toes and several guards behind her, she was heartbroken, knowing that the child would not be able to keep it anymore. But unexpectedly, the lady saw After entering the slave's house, he was actually very pleasant, so he redeemed the slave's house on the same day and placed him in a small house in the second courtyard. He also arranged a few servants to serve the slaves and told the slaves to rest well. Once the child was born, he would bring the slaves back home. The mansion is to be a concubine for the master. The slave family just thinks that the hard times are finally over, so they settle down in this house with peace of mind."

Speaking of this, Li Xianglan suddenly raised her head to look at Lin Manlu, and seeing Lin Manlu's disdainful expression, she smiled and said, "Master, do you think that madam did this on purpose? Just for the child in my womb? "

Lin Manlu was taken aback, "Isn't it?"

Li Xianglan lowered her head and said, "Yeah... that's not right. I only found out after my wife's death, because my wife can't have children, so I really want my family to give birth to this child, and then raise it under my own name. However, Ma'am It is true that a courtyard of the slave's family was arranged in the mansion, and after the child was born, the slave's family would be taken in as a concubine. After the doctor diagnosed that the child in the womb of the slave's family was a boy, the wife was very happy, even the teacher I made preparations early, and told my slave family, "Although you became a geisha, you were once a lady of the official family, and you have to teach the children yourself in the future"..." At this point, Li Xianglan's face softened, "Daddy Ma'am, you are really kind."

Lin Manlu was a little shocked, "Then how did you die? Didn't you die with injustice?"

Li Xianglan nodded, "Yes, my family died with injustice and hatred." The look of resentment on his face became particularly strong, "On the night of my childbirth, the eldest lady hurried to the government office because the master was robbed outside, and ordered the second lady I came to guard the slave's house to give birth, but I didn't expect...the second wife, actually in my womb, when the baby was born, she ordered the midwife to smother the slave's baby to death. The slave's family just gave birth, and when she saw the baby being killed, she struggled and wanted to go Rescuing the child of the slave family, but was stopped by several of their vicious women. The second wife personally held a veil and covered the mouth and nose of the slave family, and waited for the mother and child of the slave family to die together before ordering everyone in the delivery room to call , the mother and son of the slave family lost both lives because of dystocia... The slave family hates it! The slave family's death is not a pity, but the slave family's baby who has just been born... my son!"
