Facing that extremely compelling gaze, Du Suxi raised her head high and turned around calmly. The voice seemed to float from the void.
"If you walk a lot, there will always be bumps and bumps. Seventh Prince, you should be more patient."
He Liankuang's mouth twitched, looking at the woman who was becoming more and more courageous, he snorted coldly and walked away.
Back in the main hall, Du Suxi paid her father a greeting, then returned to her shabby courtyard with a clean makeup. As for Du Yunxi's angry glare from beginning to end, she pretended not to have seen it, and laughed out loud at her generosity. The two points are decent.
"Miss, the Seventh Prince is really handsome." After returning to the Qingjing Courtyard, Qingzhuang looked much better, recalling Helian Kuang's appearance, she clapped her hands and shouted.
"Just now I saw the seventh prince staring at the young lady. I'm afraid he has fallen in love with the young lady!"
Du Suxi's face froze and she looked at Qingzhuang. Sighed.
"Qingzhuang, please don't say these words in the future. I'm just a beauty, how can I compare to the peerless beauty of my eldest sister? If these words get out, I'm afraid it will be a joke to outsiders!"
She didn't dare to have anything to do with the peerless Yama. Although Qingzhuang is loyal, she is ultimately heartless. If the speaker's words were unintentional, but the listener's words were intentional, and it reached the ears of Du Yunxi and her daughter, I'm afraid that the unruly Du Yunxi would burn down his own courtyard to express his hatred.
Her foundation is too shallow and she has no ability to protect herself. Let alone avenging Du Suxi, she has no say even in this family. Du Yuanzheng was always busy with official duties and had no time to pay attention to the disputes in the backyard. How could he resist
He must become stronger as soon as possible in order to survive. Du Suxi slowly closed her eyes.
Qingzhuang curled her lips in grievance, lowered her head in frustration, and responded dejectedly. "yes."
Seven days passed by in a flash. Du Suxi put on men's clothes, climbed over the wall and went straight to Hongfu Inn without concealing her makeup.
"Master Du came on time as expected. I only changed three cups of tea." Murong Fu sat in the elegant small bag on the fifth floor and looked at Du Suxi with an evil smile of unknown meaning.
Du Suxi blushed even though she was thick-skinned, and coughed deliberately.
"Sorry, I was delayed due to some trivial matters at home."
Murong Fu looked at Du Suxi with an ambiguous look, and then he said slowly with a charming look between his eyebrows. "Really? It must be because Wenrouxiang is so seductive that Mr. Du forgets about this boring man like me, right?"
"I really have something going on at home..." Du Suxi blushed and bit her lip trying to explain. But when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to explain.
How to say? Could it be that she is the second young lady of the Du family, and she ran away because she couldn't survive anymore.
Although this is true, it is too cowardly...
Frowning depressed, Du Suxi simply sat down and changed the topic.
"What's going on with the brothel? Have you chosen the address? I think the land near Huamanlou..."
As he was speaking seriously, Murong Fu suddenly laughed, supported his chin with his hand, and looked at Du Suxi carefully with his bright starry eyes.
"Master Du, do you have any sisters?"
Du Suxi was startled. Could it be that he had seen through the fact that he was disguised as a woman? No, it can't be done. She has always been very confident in her skills. How could she see through this? After glancing at Murong Fu, Du Suxi let go of her vigilance when she saw that his expression was normal. He asked, clearing his voice.
"Why do you ask?"
Murong Fu suddenly burst out laughing. The laughter was extremely clear and uninhibited. After he had laughed enough, Murong Fu calmed down and looked at Du Suxi with burning eyes. replied sternly.
"If there is, if the man is not married and the woman is not married, it will be a good marriage."
Du Suxi almost crushed the thin celadon teacup in her hands. Looking at that handsome and charming face, I feel uncomfortable no matter what.
Murong Fu looked at that extremely stinky face, knowing that he had gone too far, but looking at the awkward look on that cute little face, he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart for some reason, and sighed secretly in his heart. What's wrong with me? Are you actually attracted to a little woman who doesn't look very good but is as cunning as a fox
Your own future cannot be ruined, and you cannot destroy the Great Wall because of a woman. Murong Fu straightened his expression and pursed his lips. He regained his appearance as a cold young man, looked at Du Suxi and grinned.
"Why are Mr. Du so stingy? Let's do this, I will take you to a good place."
Several people came to the beautiful moat and then stopped. Murong Fu raised his face, a bit like a child showing off after getting perfect marks, and proudly pointed to a large house with a deep gate not far away and said.
"This is the place I found according to your request. That house is
The former residence of the old man in Hanlin Pavilion occupies a large area and the view is absolutely superb. Moreover, I have also found an courtesan who will satisfy you. "After Murong Fu said this, he even blinked at Du Suxi mysteriously. He looked exactly like a child waiting to be praised.
Du Suxi glanced at Murong Fu in surprise, her heart filled with ups and downs. Secretly smacking his tongue.
In just seven days, this Murong Fu was able to achieve this step. Who is he
As if he had read Du Suxi's thoughts, Murong Fu pursed his lips and raised his chin slightly.
"Master Du, don't forget, we are partners now."
Like a gentle hammer hitting her heart, Du Suxi's heart skipped a beat, she raised her head, looked into Murong Fu's black eyes, and nodded.
"Well, we are partners."
Someone helped them open the door, and a thin woman wearing a plain white dress sat upright on a pear wood chair, looking up at them.
"She is Wei Qing. I helped you choose the oiran." Murong Fu raised his eyebrows, still very proud.
Du Suxi looked at the beauty as white as jade, her eyes lit up and then she thought of something. She frowned suspiciously, looked at the melancholy and silent woman in front of her, and asked uncertainly.
"Wei Qing? General Wei's only daughter? Wei Qing?"
"Master Du has a good eye. She is General Wei's only orphan, Wei Qing."
A trace of appreciation flashed in Murong Fu's eyes. He glanced at Wei Qing and saw that her eyes were calm and there was no reaction. Then he opened his mouth to explain to Du Suxi.
"My caravan accidentally rescued her. At that time, she was in the military camp in the north and was raped by a group of men..."
Murong Fu was sensible and did not continue, but Du Suxi understood.
She had heard about the name of General Wei from some information. He had defended the border for decades and was known as the undefeated general. However, he was framed by a traitor and cost his life. Within the nine clans, all were exiled.
Decades of loyalty to the country were defeated by a few insignificant words. This is an irony.
The so-called exile means that wives and children are separated and sent to the frontier, where they will be slaves forever and cannot return to the capital. Women will be military prostitutes, and men will be slaves. No matter what status you had before or what honors you had...
This is really a very disrespectful sentence.
The woman in front of him just sat quietly, looking at the empty nothingness, silently. Quiet, but lifeless.
This is heartbreaking.
Du Suxi sighed deeply and said softly.
"Look at me, are you Wei Qing, the daughter of General Wei?"
"So what?" The dignified and elegant woman raised her face slightly, her expression a little tired, but her voice was like steel falling to the ground. The words are sonorous.
"Wei Qing swears to God that my father was loyal to the court. How pitiful God is that he never had the heart to rebel, but he ended up like this. Wei Qing only hates that he is useless and cannot take the thief's head! If he hadn't been rescued by Master Murong that day, I have committed suicide a long time ago. But if you want me to be that despicable brothel girl, Wei Qing would rather die than obey!"
This is a fierce woman! He doesn't even know how to seek perfection. Du Suxi raised her head, with a touch of respect in her heart, and looked at the woman in front of her very seriously.
A few strands of her long hair hang down on her chest, her chin is thin and long, her eyes are full of exhaustion and sleepiness, her lips are slightly cleft, and her brows are frowning subconsciously. You can still see that delicate little face.
Such a beauty, such a cold and resolute person, is exactly her ideal candidate. Du Suxi's heart moved and her thoughts moved. If this Wei Qing could become the oiran of his own brothel, then the next thing would be much easier with half the effort.
"Wei Qing, are you willing to help me? Be my friend? I will find a way to help rehabilitate your Wei family."
Du Suxi's voice was very thin and light, as if she was afraid of startling Wei Qing.
A mocking smile appeared on Wei Qing's pale face, and he looked at Du Suxi and spoke word by word.
"You are a foolish man. I want to kill him. Can you help me?"
"..." No one spoke, no one dared to agree. Du Suxi was stunned on the spot, looking at Wei Qing. Her clear eyes gradually dimmed, like stars, gradually becoming gray, gray, and silent in the dark night. inside.
Before Du Suxi could answer, Wei Qing's lips slowly formed a smile, and he straightened his back and looked at Murong Fu. The voice was husky and calm.
"Mr. Murong, you saved me because you wanted me to sell myself to a brothel, but you have misjudged the wrong person. Wei Qing, you will never dare to disgrace your ancestral family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Qing pulled out a dagger from somewhere and was about to stab himself in the heart...
"No!" Du Suxi screamed
, before his mind had time to think, his body reacted, and a stone hit Wei Qing's wrist. With a "bang" sound, the dagger fell to the ground. Wei Qing subconsciously went to pick it up, but Du Suxi held his hand. roared.
"Wei Qing, if you die like this, then your father will die unjustly!"
Looking at the desperate woman who wanted to die, Du Suxi slowly closed her eyes, her throat rolling. His voice was hoarse and filled with pain.
"Wei Qing, if you really kill the emperor, then your Wei family, for generations to come, will...
They will all be charged with treason. Once the emperor dies, the world will be in chaos. Who will be the emperor? "
"..." Wei Qing was stunned, looking at Du Suxi, his lips moved, and he lowered his head for a while, his voice was sad and timid. "I... I don't know."
Seeing the hesitation on Wei Qing's face, Du Suxi knew that she was shaken and continued to speak while the iron was hot.
"In life, people suffer, in death, people suffer. How important is a Wei family compared to the safety of the people in the world? Wei Qing, I hope you can think clearly about your father's case. Believe me, I will definitely help you. .”
"But..." Wei Qing's decisive and stubborn face showed fragile cracks for the first time. He raised his beautiful eyes and looked helplessly at Du Suxi.
"But even though my Wei family is a family of military commanders, my etiquette, justice and integrity are no worse than those of those literati. Even if I die, I will never end up in a brothel and sell out my sex!"
"Wei Qing is dead." Du Suxi stared at Wei Qing, her voice calm.
"Have you ever heard of Jingwei reclaiming the sea? Your current name is Jingwei, a Jingwei bird who always has hope."
Wei Qing's lips moved and his eyes were fixed on Du Suxi. His eyes were full of doubts.
Du Suxi continued.
"I promise that you can perform your art without selling your body. Moreover, I will make you a goddess in the eyes of men, a fairy that cannot be blasphemed. You can maintain your arrogance and nobility and play with those admirers as much as you want. How about this? "
Wei Qing seemed to be moved. He rolled his eyes and looked at Du Suxi in surprise. "Fairy?"
Du Suxi looked at Wei Qing's appearance, knowing that something was going on, and nodded.
"Yes, Fairy! I don't sell my body as an artist, and no one can force me to do anything with you. As long as you agree, I will definitely find a way to help your father rehabilitate!"
Wei Qing lowered his head and looked at the white magnolia embroidered shoes. He felt as if he was experiencing a war without anyone. There was no smoke or death, but it was also extremely difficult to choose.
Murong Fu has been playing the role of soy sauce since he came in. He just felt that he had a lot of experience and was not as weird as today. He glanced at Du Suxi in surprise and saw that her serious look did not look like she was faking. He couldn't help but guess that Du Suxi What the hell is Xi thinking, how dare he make such a promise
Although there are also prostitutes in brothels who are prostitutes but not prostitutes, they do not live comfortably. In the eyes of men, they are pretentious bitches, and toasting and singing are indispensable, not to mention some drunk men. He raised and lowered his hands while forcing a smile.
What kind of calculation does Du Suxi have in mind for daring to promise such conditions and preferential treatment? Or is this what she calls a peerless brothel? Can you only look at it but not eat it? How about making a dime
Just as he was about to speak, Du Suxi raised her head. Looked at Murong Fu.
"Mr. Murong, can you let me have a conversation with Jingwei?"
Murong Fu paused, then nodded, and left with everyone. He also closed the door for them and waited at the door. There were only two people left in the huge room.
Du Suxi sighed softly.
"Wei Qing, the brothel I want to build is different from all the brothels here. I will not force you. This is a transaction and an opportunity. If you are not willing, I will give you a sum of money, and what will you do from now on? , it has nothing to do with us, even if we are destined to meet each other one day, we will not know each other across the world. Also, there is a secret to tell you, I am also a girl. "
"You, you are also a woman?" Wei Qing looked at Du Suxi in surprise, a little unsure. Du Suxi grinned and nodded.
"The reason why I dress up as a man is because I want to fight against my fate, because I never believe in fate."
"Have you never believed in fate?" Wei Qing murmured, falling into a daze...
Du Suxi looked at Wei Qing, silent and waiting.
The reason why she told the truth that she was a woman was because she understood that this identity would eventually be exposed. After a short period of contact, Du Suxi already understood that Wei Qing was a woman who valued friendship. He told her that not only would she not inform on him and harm him, but she would become more loyal to him.
There was only the sound of two people breathing shallowly in the air. After a long time, Wei Qing raised his head and looked at Du Suxi seriously.
"I, I promise."
