Chapter 841 - 196 -Indenture (2)
That maidservant had been cheating and cheating in recent days, complaining about everything and feeling indignant about her own experience. When they went to the side courtyard, the maidservants who did odd jobs would be rewarded with a few taels of silver from time to time.
Staying in the yingmei Pavilion to guard a sickly person wouldn’t give them any benefits.
Mei ‘er angrily barged into the room of the maidservant. She lay on the bed and slept comfortably.
“Get up, you better get up!”
Mei ‘er pulled her down from the bed with a cold face and questioned her loudly, “”When wifey was in her Prime, she was also very kind to you. When did the silver reward not be more generous than the other courtyards?
she’s sick now and doesn’t even want to have some hot porridge. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? ”
The maidservant put her hands on her waist and scolded her, “I already said that it was in the past. In the past, when wifey was glorious, we followed by her side to serve, I was willing to be a cow or a horse. But now that she’s about to die, why should I still serve her?”
Mei ‘er was furious. my wife is just sick. She will get better. When she gets better, let’s see how she will deal with you.
The maidservant retorted, “come on, who in the education workshop doesn’t know that she’s dying?” As long as there’s a slight possibility, mom wouldn’t have transferred everyone away.”
Speaking of this, she sneered, “sister Mei ‘er, you’re serving my wife without any clothes or clothes on. In fact, it’s for my little savings, right?” Don’t be angry from embarrassment, what friendship is there in the Imperial Academy? when are our sisters not putting on a show?
“It’s because we all know that men only want our bodies. If we really think that we have true feelings for those whoremasters, then we’re fools. Lady floating fragrance was such a fool.
“At that time, Xu yinluo stayed in the pavilion all night without spending a single copper coin. For him, my wife did not even receive guests. He even paid for it himself. It was ridiculous that she really thought that she and Xu yinluo were truly in love with each other just because others complimented her.
she’s sick and dying. Did that person come to see her? ”
These words touched on Mei ‘er’s sore spot. She gritted her teeth and said, tch, I’m going to tear your mouth off.”
The two of them started to fight.
“Stop!”
Outside the door, Fu Xiang was dressed in a white unlined garment. She was so weak that she seemed to be unable to stand steadily. She held onto the door, her face pale.
The scuffle stopped. The maidservant lowered her head and did not say a word. Even though this woman was already sickly, as if she would be blown over by the wind, she was so glorious back then that the impression she left was indelible.
“Let’s go back …”
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Xiang’s body swayed and she fainted on the ground.
The fragrance of Sandalwood Rose in the master bedroom. Fu Xiang woke up and saw the old doctor sitting by the bed. He seemed to have just taken her pulse. He said to Mei ‘er,
your meridians are weak and your five internal organs are failing. The medicine is useless. Prepare for your funeral.
Mei ‘er lowered her head and sobbed in a low voice.
The number one courtesan in the capital. Fu Xiang. did not have much time left . This news instantly spread throughout the Imperial Academy. Some people were secretly happy, while others sighed.
After lunch, in the Azure pond court.
In the living room, which was covered with brocade lichens, the courtesans in rainbow feathery clothes sat by the table and had afternoon tea.
On the table were melon fruits, iced plum wine, and other food.
Courtesan Ming Yan, who had exquisite makeup on, glanced at her sisters present. There were nine courtesans, including her, who had all slept with Xu yinluo.
she used to be so famous. Xu yinluo’s song about plum blossoms made her the number one prostitute in the capital. The old men outside spent a lot of money to see her. The distinguished scholars from other places came to the capital from thousands of miles away. They burned the oil in the fire for less than half a year and were all burned out.
The refined courtesan Xiao Ya, who was wearing an indigo dress and a Jade hairpin, sighed.
Courtesan Xiaoya was well-read and was sought after by many scholars. “A beauty has a short life, it’s really a sad thing.”
The one who spoke was an oval-faced beauty in a yellow dress. Her flower name was Dong Xue, and her voice was as melodious as a yellow oriole. Her singing voice was one of the best in the Imperial Academy.
back then, I was jealous that Xu yinluo was the only one who doted on her. Now, seeing her in this situation, I feel so bad that I can’t eat. Another beauty sighed.
“Speaking of which, Xu yinluo hasn’t been looking for her for a long time.”
I remember that Xu yinluo never came to the teaching workshop or the yingmei Pavilion after she went to Chu Zhou in March.
come to think of it, when Xu yinluo returned to the capital from Chuzhou, Fu Xiang happened to be sick …
All the top courtesans sighed. Fu Xiang was bedridden and had not recovered for a long time, so Xu yinluo naturally would not come.
The man came to them for fun. Otherwise, he would not be waiting on them at the bed. Xu yinluo was just an ordinary man.
“Sister fuxiang is deeply in love with Xu yinluo …” Ming Yan sighed softly.
She turned to the maidservant beside her and ordered, ‘”‘Send someone to the
Xu residence to inform them. The Xu residence is not far from the Imperial Academy, so go quickly and return quickly.” The servant girl walked out in small steps.
Ming Yan’s gaze swept across the courtesans and she said softly, “”Let’s go and see sister fuxiang.”
“You and I have been master and servant. After I leave, you can take the silver notes in the cabinet and redeem yourself. Then, you can find a good family and marry.
remember to give the things I left to Xu yinluo. Don’t forget. Fu Xiang leaned on the bed and gave instructions for her funeral.
Mei ‘er sat on the stool, sobbing and nodding.
Light and messy footsteps came from outside the door. Ming Yan, Xiaoya, and the other courtesans slowly entered the room and smiled.”Sister fuxiang, we have come to see you.”
Fu Xiang’s pale face forced a smile and her voice was hoarse. “Quickly, please take a seat.”
The courtesans took their seats and chatted calmly for a while. Suddenly, Ming Yan covered his mouth and sobbed.”We already know about big sister’s condition .
“To me, it’s just the end of a journey in my life. I’ve wanted to leave this place a long, long time ago.” Fu Xiang smiled.
When the courtesans heard this, they felt the same way. The room was filled with a sorrowful atmosphere. don’t blame me, sister, ” Ming Yan said softly. I acted on my own and sent someone to inform Xu yinluo.
Fu Xiang frowned, her tone a little anxious, “”Why did you call him here? I don’t want to see him, I don’t want to see him at this moment.”
Mei ‘er stood by the bed and cried, ” that’s also a heartless person. Ever since he went to Chu Zhou, he hasn’t been here once. He must have heard that my wife was seriously ill and despised my wife. When he was still a silver Gong, he often brought his colleagues to the Imperial Academy for a drink, and his wife always served him with all her heart … Wuwuwu.”
The courtesans looked at each other and sighed.
“Sister, do you still have something on your mind?” Ming Yan asked gently.
Fu Xiang didn’t say anything. Instead, she looked out the window at the vast world.
The greatest wish of the women of the Academy’s workshop was nothing more than to be able to leave the lowly status, leave this place of fireworks, and raise their heads to live.
The courtesans understood what she meant, but could only sigh.
Fu Xiang’s redemption price was as high as eight thousand taels.
The yingmei Pavilion had probably not been so lively for a long time. Fu Xiang was in a good mood for chatting, but as time passed, she gradually began to lose focus. He kept looking out of the door as if he was waiting for something.
The courtesans all knew who she was waiting for.
I miss you every day but don’t see you.
Ming Yan and Hua kui glanced at the water clock in the room, and a hint of sadness flashed in their eyes. That man would not come after all.
“It’s getting late, Little Sisters, we’ll be leaving first … Sister fuxiang, take care.” She almost burst into tears.
Tears blurred Ming Yan’s vision. He realized that Fu Xiang’s gaze was fixed on the door, and an intoxicating blush appeared on her pale face.
Ming Yan’s body suddenly stiffened.
Courtesan Xiaoya pursed her lips.
The other courtesans also noticed Fu Xiang’s abnormal behavior. They subconsciously held their breaths and slowly turned around to look.
A young man stood at the door, wearing a moon-white Confucian robe with a piece of green jade hanging on his waist. The texture was neither good nor bad.
“The robe doesn’t fit me, so I asked the maidservants to change it.” His voice was gentle.
Fu Xiang burst into tears. This was the first time they had met.
Last October, a young man wearing a moon-white scholar’s robe had come to the Ying Mei Pavilion and barged into her life.
If life could be like the first time they met.
Xu Qi ‘an smiled warmly and said in a gentle voice, ‘”‘After I arrived at the
Academy Square, I went to do something.”
He walked to the table and gently placed an object on it.
The courtesans ‘gazes fell on the table, unable to move away. It was a contract to sell herself..
