Hongyu lay on the big bed covered with brocade, turned over and rolled over on it, she was so big, she had never slept in such a spacious and comfortable bed, after rolling for a while, she let out a long sigh, held the futon in her arms, and stroked her hand on the brocade quilt repeatedly, "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that they didn't grow into their flower-like appearance, not only can they get acquainted with all kinds of noble sons in Bianliang City, but also have a lot of silver to take, unlike now, they are tired and half dead every day, and they have to do these jobs to serve people." ” Smelling the faint fragrance on the mattress, she curled up into a comfortable position, just lay down in her clothes, and after a while, she fell asleep.
In the dream, Hongyu seemed to have become the famous Bianliang Oiran, she was dressed in light tulle, dancing her soft waist under countless scorching eyes, dyed with green silk and ink, and the colorful fan was elegant, like a fairy.
She smiled, and even in her sleep, the laughter spilled out of the corners of her mouth and slowly drifted into the ears of a dark figure standing beside the bed.
Suddenly, the red jade in the dream slipped under her feet, her body fell to the ground, and the hairpin on her head was pushed by the ground, and it actually pierced into her scalp, she hurt, her whole face wrinkled in pain, and her back tightened, her eyes suddenly widened, and she was panting in the dark.
Something seemed to slip off his face, drop by drop, and Hongyu reached out to wipe it, and as soon as the back of her hand touched her face, she froze.
Her face was hot and slippery, as if there was no barrier.
At the same time, she felt something slip down her arm and down her back, making a slight "hissing" sound as she peeled down.
A huge pain followed, overwhelming, like a huge wave of arrogance, rolling her from head to toe, so painful that she couldn't breathe, and she couldn't even make a sound.
Ruby struggled to keep her eyes open, only to find a bulging figure standing beside the bed, and by the moonlight, she saw that it was an old lady in a wide robe, her long silver-gray hair tangled in her face, and a pair of empty eyes reflected from inside, staring nonchalantly at the half-skinned bloody man on the bed.
"Girl, don't be afraid, it'll be over soon," she grinned, the wrinkles on her face squeezed together, "It's also your bad fate, who made you the Oiran of this streamer building, I heard people on the street say that the most beautiful girl in this city is the newly selected Oiran Lu Miaohui, so the old body can only borrow your skin, but don't worry, I won't waste your skin, if the saint really likes it today, it is also a blessing that you can't save in several lifetimes." ” Hearing this, Hongyu let out a silent dry scream, she had dreamed countless times that she had become the Oiran of the Streamer Building, but she didn't expect that when she heard these two words in reality, she was so desperate.
Tears fell on her skinless face, stinging her tender flesh and pain, and she tried to purse her lips and uttered the last inaudible syllables of her life: "I am not an Oiran or an Oiran." ” "Isn't it?"
The old lady in white looked at the bloody corpse on the bed and smiled, she picked up the human skin piled at Hongyu's feet, shook off the clothes on it, and held it under the moonlight to look at it carefully.
Looking at it, the smile on her face was gone, this person had very rough skin, black and yellow, no matter how you looked at it, it was not the delicate and white girl standing on the verandah today.
As he was thinking to himself, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the old lady in white rushed to the unclosed window like a gust of wind, and disappeared into the darkness over the windowsill.
She held a human skin in her hand, and hid all the way towards the Song Palace, Kaifeng Mansion strengthened its defenses, and there were patrolling officials everywhere, and a team of people appeared from the dark from time to time, and the people who often got it couldn't dodge.
Fortunately, she was light enough to crawl on the wall and walk on the eaves, so she walked for so long and was not bumped into by those officials.
But even if she was not discovered, she was still uneasy in her heart, just such a skin, not to mention Mrs.
Hua Rui, even she couldn't look down on herself, black and yellow, especially ten fingers, covered with calluses, prickly to the touch, this skin, how could she get her hands?
The palace was about to arrive, but she didn't leave, she lay on the eaves of a room, thinking about how to go back, and just as she was thinking, two men squeezed in the corner of the wall, and at the sound of the rushing water, she heard the two drunks laughing and saying something.
"Who do you guess is the most beautiful girl in Bianliang City?"
"There are the most girls in the streamer building, and the top-notch ones are all beautiful."
"Tsk, those in the streamer building are all vulgar fans, it's nothing, if you want me to say, if you really talk about beauty, you have to be the third lady of Yuchunlin."
"The old man surnamed Duan is strict, since he died of his two daughters, the third lady has basically never gone out, how did Brother Tai meet?"
"My brother is in the medicinal herb business, a few days ago, I went to Duan's house with him to discuss a deal, and I accidentally saw the young lady, it is no exaggeration to say, I came out of my mother's womb, I have never seen such a beautiful girl, the skin is better than snow, the beauty is incredible, I am really not a person in the world, I was stunned, if it wasn't for the second brother to call me, I almost couldn't move."
"No wonder this old man looks closely, if the third young lady is really as gorgeous as Brother Tai said, it is indeed easy to cause trouble."
The two drunks put on their pants and left with their shoulders hooked.
The old lady in white listened to all the words of the two of them word for word, a gloomy smile flashed in her eyes, and she slowly stood up straight, putting the red jade human leather on herself.
Since the carriage pulling the goods had to come early in the morning, Li Shen always got up very early every day, sorted and arranged the goods to be transported to the store one by one, and then opened the door and waited for the coachman to come and load the goods.
This day was no exception, he prepared the goods, so he opened the door and prepared to guard outside, but as soon as he walked outside, he saw a man lying on the steps of the door, thin and small, who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old.
Li Shen hurriedly went up and probed under her nose, fortunately, she still had a breath, but her cheeks were sunken, her face was black and yellow, and she looked like she had been hungry for many days.
He was just about to go back to the house to report, Duan Zhixing came out of it with his hands behind his back, saw the girl on the ground, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
” "Master, as soon as I opened the door, I saw her falling here, presumably she had not run out of water and rice for many days, and she fainted from hunger."
Since Duan Zhixing lost his two daughters, he couldn't see such a tragic thing in the world, not to mention that this girl only looked about the same age as Zhen'er, which made him feel compassion, so he hurriedly ordered Li Shen to carry her into the house and take care of her.
