Concubine can't do it

Chapter 23

For several days in succession, Hua Zhengxuan lived a life of retreat besides picking up customers.Playing the piano when receiving guests, and playing the piano when retreating, I recalled everything my mother taught me when I was young, and I finally found a few that I could show.

Remember the correct words.Although this year was the fourth year that Guqin was introduced to Canglan Country, it replaced other musical instruments with its beautiful sound and became very popular in Canglan Country.Originally, the Canglan Kingdom mainly focused on dancing, even without accompaniment, the dancers could still perform a moving dance to the beat of their heart.But since the introduction of Guqin, more people are teaching how to play the piano, and many private prostitutes are rushing to learn it.

It is the type like Hua Zhirou who uses the piano as a selling point.

But after all, Guqin has just started in Canglan now, and it is more than a little worse than the prosperity a hundred years later.At this time, "Zhengxiu Minor", the only song that can be called the song of Tianyin, was lost because of Ye Mao's death, and probably has not been found by later generations, so she asked around, and only a few people knew about "Zhengxiu Minor" ", but no one can play it, even Ling Luo, who is as famous as her general, has never heard of it.

So, she still has some advantages.When everyone is not proficient, if she can practice this ditty to perfection, then the road ahead will probably be much easier.

Her hard work is seen and heard by everyone.Dong's mother originally didn't want her to practice piano like crazy.But after Mu Shaoqing persuaded her, she gave up and stopped her.

It was Lu'er who was the first to object: "Sister, you are playing the piano from morning to night these days, and you are going to die on the piano! Just take a break!"

Hua Zhengxuan smiled when he heard the words, and moved his hands away from the strings, but picked up the booklet he used to memorize the music, turned to the last page, and picked up a pen to modify a few tones according to his own ideas.

Seeing that she half listened and half didn't care, Lu'er was so anxious that she almost wanted to snatch her pen and break it off, but she was afraid of delaying other people's business, so she could only endure it, "Sister! Have you ever counted how many days you haven't done?" Have a heart-to-heart talk with brother Shaoqing? Brother Shaoqing will be sad if you go on like this!"

Hua Zhengxuan paused, continued to revise, looked at the brochure intently and said, "Even if we are happy with each other, we must not forget the business. I have my qin to play, and he has his incense to make. I want to make my own You have to work harder to redeem it."

Lu'er choked, still not reconciled, "But sister, you can't just stay in Yuyinju every day and ignore other things. Brother Shaoqing said that if you want to redeem yourself, he will help you pay a large part of the money. Why do you have to tire yourself out like this? Or just go and act coquettishly to Big Brother Shaoqing and let Big Brother Shaoqing talk nice things to Mama Dong, just let you do it! Mama Dong loves Big Brother Shaoqing so much, and Sister Xu will absolutely I will support the two of you, it won't be easy to get out!"

"..." Hua Zhengxuan put down his pen and put the booklet aside, shaking his head.

She couldn't just say right now that she wouldn't rely on Mu Shaoqing to go out?
She can't trust the men in the world.If only Mu Shaoqing was the one she could trust, then she would not be able to disappoint his sincerity.

Hua Zhirou is dead, she is the real Hua Zhengxuan.She has her own way to go.

After thinking about it, he simply turned the topic to Lu'er, "Haven't you ever thought about going out? Wouldn't it be better to go out now before you arrive to pick up the guests?"

Lu'er's eyes darkened when he heard this.

"My...mother is dead, I don't need to buy medicine for her, and I can save some money every month. But when my aunt sold me, she sold me for three taels of silver... It is double the price for a maidservant to redeem herself , My monthly salary is only [-] Wen... Maybe I have to stay here for a year before I can go out."

Three taels of silver for a life, and only eight hundred cash a month?

Hua Zhengxuan was silent.

She thought of her past self.Life is probably so tight, maybe not as good as Lu'er.But at least she was free then.

"Lu'er, do you want to go out?" she asked.

Lu'er flattened his mouth: "Of course I want to... If I can go out, I will go far away, so that my aunt can never find me again!"

Hua Zhengxuan asked again: "Then I will pay you to send you out, okay?"

"Hey!?" Lu'er's eyes widened.

"Recently, I have received business from a few generous customers. My sister has also saved a lot of money. Although it is much worse than what she would redeem herself, the amount of money to redeem you is still affordable."

Lu'er listened blankly, eyes wet, and shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, sister, Lu'er won't leave! Lu'er has a sister's love and care, and I can't forget it. Lu'er must wait until Elder sister redeems herself and then go out together! After going out...after going out, Lu'er will follow her and be her maidservant alone!"

Hua Zhengxi smiled, "Silly boy."

Raising his hand to touch Lu'er's head, Hua Zhengxuan sighed inwardly.

"This place is too dangerous. You don't have any skills that you can use. You may be dragged away by a customer and lose your body at any time here. Sometimes you can't even ask for an apology. You can only be reduced to the street as a lowly prostitute soliciting customers. My sister doesn't want you to go this far."

"But..." Lu'er raised his wet eyes, looked at her for a long time, then lowered his head with a blushing face. "Sister... Lu'er has a secret. Although my family members know it, I have never told anyone."

After a pause, she wiped her eyes and said, "Actually... I was forced by my aunt to slip the tire and stuff it in because my uncle gave me...to miss me, and then I lost my body... and I was pregnant with a baby." Xiangfang."

I don't know how much courage this little girl must muster to say these words.Hua Zhengxuan only knew that after listening to it, his heart was shocked as if he had been clenched hard.

"You were raped...?"

Lu'er was very calm when she asked her this question.Not only did the tears stop, but he even laughed: "Yes. That's why I didn't believe it when I heard that the women in the brothel didn't have a clean body. I didn't know until I came here and met more sisters. How can any innocent woman come in here? Those who are willing or unwilling, have ended up like this, and can only cover up the past with the excuse of staying in the brothel. If I go out in the future, there will be someone who is happy, People know that I have lost my body, so I can say it because I have stayed in a brothel... Even though I will be cast aside that way, it is better than him avoiding snakes and scorpions after knowing the truth."

After a pause, she sighed softly, "Sometimes I really hate this dirty world... It's just because I came from a humble background, I have to live a humble life all my life, so what hope do I have..."
