It didn't take much effort to get out of the palace.
After showing our identification, the guards of the palace did not dare to stop us. However, it was already half-afternoon at this time, and time did not allow us to stroll around in the royal capital.
Bai Huang had already made plans, first he sent Alaya and Heji away to go shopping, and then took me straight to the brothel tavern.
Bai Huang said that when she came to the capital to play when she was a child, she once followed the adults to the famous Baihualou. That day there was a girl named Yayu who played and sang by herself. As the name suggests, he is as white and smooth as jade, and he sings beautifully, which left a deep impression on Bai Huang when he was a child. So when he comes to the capital this time, Bai Huang must go to meet her.
I am no longer surprised by Bai Huang's various requests, and I was dragged by her all the way.
But unfortunately, none of the people present had heard of Yayu.
It wasn't until I asked many people that a grandmother who was cooking rice remembered it, opened her bewildered eyes, and said to Bai Huang:
"Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu was bought by a high-ranking official in the court. She went to enjoy the blessings with Lord Tamrose, one of the ten ministers. On the day of leaving, I asked the old man if he wanted to go with her. Years, took root, can't leave, and don't want to leave... But it's been several years, and I haven't heard from her again. Two noblemen, if you want to listen to a song, the current top card and the four famous Prostitutes, all good... "
Bai Huang didn't speak after listening, just took out an old handkerchief from his pocket, and stood at the entrance of Baihualou for a while.
Several bustards were still recommending girls in the building to us. Seeing that I waved my hands away, they quickly changed their faces and stopped talking to people. I stood with Baihuang for a while, before Baihuang said that he would go back to fight with Alaya and Heji.
On the way, Bai Huang told me about her past.
Ten years ago, Bai Huang was only six or seven years old, and he and his elder brother Bai Feng came to the capital to celebrate the king's birthday. On the first night, Bai Huang spent the night on the boat with various big shots and saw the prosperity of the capital. For a child, everything here is so novel and attractive.
That night, Yayu came out to play and sing as one of the four famous prostitutes at that time. In terms of singing skills, she was actually the last of the four famous prostitutes, but Baihuang just liked her smile with two dimples. At the end of the night, because Baihuang was a girl, she was locked in the hall and could not go out to play, so she asked Yayu to sing a ditty twice.
At that time, Yayu was about seventeen or eighteen years old, just in the prime of her youth. The girls who grew up in the brothel were very worried about their future, so when chatting with Baihuang, Yayu smiled and sighed that she didn't know where she was going in the future . Bai Huang liked this pretty big sister very much, so he told her that he would come to see her again in the future, and would take her away if he had the chance.
Yayu just smiled, but Baihuang said seriously that she is the daughter of Lord Yunhai, and she can definitely redeem a girl. Yayu believed it a little bit, so she gave her personal handkerchief to Baihuang.
When she was a child, Bai Huang told her brother about this, but Bai Feng objected to redeeming Yayu. Same-sex love relationships in this era are not recognized by the mainstream, and Bai Huang went to redeem a brothel girl, which had a great impact on Yunhai's reputation. Needless to say, Baifeng did this. For Baifeng who cherishes feathers, this matter cannot be done either.
So when he was a child, Bai Huang was like a child who didn't get his favorite toy. He made trouble at first, but soon forgot about it. It is normal to be sad and sad, but after a while, you will like new toys.
Yunhai is rich and never lacks in all kinds of interesting things.
But Bai Huang occasionally still thinks of this woman with dimples when she smiles. In her words, it is:
"Now that I think about it, it should be my first love. It should be."
Walking on the street where the snow had been shoveled clean, Bai Huang put both hands in his coat pockets, exhaled hot air, and said:
"I feel sorry for her, maybe she has been waiting for me. Tamrose... I don't even remember that there is such a person in the court, will she treat Yayu well? Yayu is such a simple little girl, she can play well Have you ever seen other wives and concubines in the family?"
I did some calculations, Bai Huang was eighteen years old this year, and she said she was six or seven years old at the time, that was eleven or twelve years ago. Yayu was seventeen or eighteen years old at that time, and now she is a woman in her third year. At this age, and also from a brothel background, it is unlikely that he will get any attention in the home of a senior member of the court.
Most of the men in the world are like the same, get it, first like glue for a period of time, and then throw it away like scraps. Especially those high-ranking officials and nobles who have no shortage of women around them, these brothel women are no different from goods in their eyes. When I was in Lingyun City, the number of women my brother had slept with in a year was at least three figures, and my father's was a little less, but it was normal to have a few high-quality fun every now and then.
But I didn't tell Bai Huang these words, I just said:
"Women in brothels, they have to be grateful to be redeemed by high officials from the court. Those who use sex to deal with others, their sex fades and they love each other. When most women are old, they are old and have nowhere to go. So many people in the world suffer, Saving them is a matter of affection, not saving them is a duty, there is nothing to feel guilty about."
Bai Huang raised his eyebrows and asked me:
"Are you talking about the 300,000 disaster victims in Tianyue Mountain?"
I put my hands together and said:
"I didn't say that."
Bai Huang said "Hey" and said:
"Auntie is so brave and righteous. She's not the same as a little bastard like you. I couldn't even save a brothel woman that year. This year is different. Even if the capital is completely dark, I will stab it What a hole!... Let’s start with this Tamros investigation. Tonight’s dinner, as one of the top ten ministers, this person should also attend the banquet, so you have to keep an eye on it for me.”
Isn't this fucking public revenge?
I looked at Bai Huang with a speechless face, and Bai Huang put his hands on his hips and said:
"Look at my father, he never goes out to mess around. Those stinky men who bring women to their homes all day long don't have many good things at first glance. Maybe this Tamrose has something to do with Tianyue Mountain. The money Maybe he was the one who embezzled, otherwise how could he get so much money to buy women everywhere, hmph."
I just nodded, but thinking about it carefully, to Alaya, am I not that stinky man who takes women home all day long? After thinking about it, he shook his head calmly in protest.
However, Bai Huang's thoughts are not unreasonable. Since I have already been to Tianyue Mountain and returned to the capital with Bai Yiqing, Wumi, Bai Huang and I have already been involved in this incident, so we can't get past it if we want to. . Today's dinner may not be too calm, and using Tamrose as a breakthrough is not a bad idea for us who are now clueless.
