Chapter 662 Shen Yunyan's persistence

In the evening, people gathered on the left side of the white bridge of the Qinhuai River. By sunset, it was already crowded.

These days have become a temple-like festival. Some people even occupy seats in advance, move tables, chairs and benches, and put tea, melons and fruits for entertainment. Small traders are also flexible, carrying baskets full of goods to sell everywhere, and the price has more than doubled, seizing the business opportunities these days to make money.

In the twilight, flower boats of various families came from all directions one after another and stopped according to their respective designated positions. Where there is still a gap, the boats of rich families crowded in the gap and occupied a good position. One of the huge dragon boats is extremely conspicuous. Although you don't see anyone in the boat, you can guess that the person sitting in the cabin is probably the legendary prince who came from Jiangxi to buy five famous buildings.

The flower boat in Yunxiao Pavilion is the smallest, and it looks very shabby between the tall flower boats around it. The boat warehouse on the second floor is brightly lit. Song Nan and Shen Yunyan sit and talk to each other. Wang Yong and Li Daniu sit in the corner and eat the snacks and tea on the plate. They can't understand any of what Song Nan and Shen Yunyan said.

"The way of Go can't be improved in three or two hours. The tattoo seems simple, but it is a combination of brainpower, overall situation, strategy, patience and other factors. I can't help you in this regard. Song Nan had no choice but to spread out her hand.

"Indeed, it seems that we can only get more votes in favor of painting; today's ten to five, all the people left are masters. Zheng Peipei may have to get a full vote in chess, and the slave family has no confidence at all." Shen Yunyan bit his lower lip and said.

Song Nan smiled and said, "Do your best. If you force it, the result will not be good. Let it go."

Shen Yunyan shook her head slightly and said, "You don't know that if Yunxiao Pavilion can't win a good ranking this time, I'm afraid it won't be able to gain a foothold in the Qinhuai River. In the end, I may have to sell it to others. This is what I don't want to see."

Song Nan frowned and said, "There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. In fact, you and I have only known each other for two days. This may be a little abrupt."

Shen Yunyan smiled and said, "Mr. Song wants to say something. Although you and I have not known each other for a long time, I know that Mr. Song is by no means an ordinary person. If you say something, there must be his reason."

Song Nan nodded and said, "Okay, then I will say it directly. In my opinion, there is no need to insist on linger in this brothel with Miss Shen's appearance and character; I'm not those old men who say these words openly, but this business is ultimately a fall and not a lifelong basis for life; if this Yunxiao Pavilion really can't be managed, It may not be a bad thing for a girl; I don't understand why you insist on operating the Yunxiao Pavilion?

Shen Yunyan blushed and whispered, "Mr. Song must think that the slave family is willing to degenerate and can't live without this bright life without effort."

Song Nan hurriedly said, "I have no intention. Maybe there is another reason."

Shen Yunyan slowly got up and paced, and whispered for a long time, "The slave family entered the Yunxiao Pavilion at the age of five, which was 11 years ago; the Nu family's ancestral home is Minnan. At the age of five, there was no locust plague in southern Fujian, so my parents took me and my three-year-old brother out to escape for food. He drifted all the way to Nanjing City, and his father died of illness under the wall of the Bell and Drum Tower. That night, it was so dark and cold. My mother and I sat next to my father's body and cried. The three-year-old brother couldn't say anything hungry. He didn't know anything and only shook his father's body to eat.

Shen Yunyan's voice was quiet, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her. Her eyes were empty and full of inexplicable fear. Song Nan frowned and listened to this, his heart trembled, and the terrible situation came to his mind.

Shen Yunyan continued gently: "It was really cold that night. I never felt so cold. I cried and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, I woke up from the cold, covered with my mother's broken cotton-padded jacket, but there was no one around me. I was so scared that I hurriedly got up and shouted.

Shen Yunyan stretched out her hands and seemed to return to the situation at that time, with tears in her eyes.

"Father, mother, little brother. Where are you? I called them, and I kept screaming. I remember the echoes between the walls, cold, all my voices. But no one answered me. I walked all the way, crying and running in the dark street. I don't know how long I walked, and it was almost dawn. Then I saw a river and a group of people surrounding the shore. Then I saw the red head rope on my mother's head. The red head rope was bought for my mother when my parents got married. My mother hugged her little brother, wet and cold, lying on the stone by the shore. They are all dead, they are all dead..."

Shen Yunyan's face was pale and her body was shaking. Song Nan hurriedly got up, held her arm, and comforted her in a low voice, "Miss Yunyan, when you wake up, it's all over, it's over."

Shen Yunyan turned around and put her arms around Song Nan's neck. She couldn't let go and cried loudly. Song Nan was at a loss and had no choice but to comfort her.

After a while, Shen Yunyan stopped her grief and wiped her tears and apologized in a low voice: "The slave family is rude. Don't blame the prince. The slave family is in trouble. What happened that night was like a nightmare. I can't remember it. When I think about it, my heart is like a knife burning."

Song Nan hurriedly said, "I understand that anyone who experiences this can't be as strong as a girl."

Shen Yunyan straightened her clothes and whispered, "I stood by the body of my parents and brother and cried to death. Later, someone buried my parents and brother for me, took me to a place to take a bath and eat, and let me sleep in the warm ** for three days and three nights; there was the Yunxiao Pavilion, and it was Mother Liu who took me in; so I took it Xiaoge was my home, sweeping the floor, pouring tea, pouring water and wiping the table. Until the year when I was 11 years old, I took the initiative to ask my mother Liu to teach me about the things in the brothel. I knew that at the age of 12, I could not keep me in the brothel unless I was willing to enter this industry.

"Mother Liu didn't want me to enter the industry. She was a red card girl in the Qinhuai River for the first half of her life. She saved some money to open this Yunxiao Pavilion. She knew the hardships of this industry, so she scolded me and beat me, and she drove me away. But I still stayed; I didn't expect that now I have become the number one in Yunxiao Pavilion. Isn't this a little funny?

Song Nan was speechless and couldn't say anything except sighing that fate was difficult to figure out.

"In his heart, Mr. Song despises my origin. Like us, a brothel woman is just a plaything in the eyes of others. Who cares about joys and sorrows? Originally, I didn't mean to explain anything, but in front of Mr. Song, I didn't know why I had to explain it. After two years of my debut, I insisted on selling my skills and not selling myself. Or my price is too high. Rich people may think I'm worth it, think I'm worth it or I don't have money, so I'm not as dirty as you think.

Song Nan didn't want to ask, but she unconsciously asked, "What's your price?"

"100,000 taels." Shen Yunyan said lightly.

Song Nan was shocked. With 100,000 taels, she could buy hundreds of maidservant concubines. The price was really deterred, but Song Nan also understood that it was just a matter of people's thought. There are no people in the brothel who don't sell themselves, and it is also a smart way to avoid all this when the price is high.

"What will happen to you if someone really pay 100,000 taels?"

"Of course, I will follow my promise. Whether he is old and ugly or a robber, it can only be the arrangement of fate. You asked me why I insisted on nostalgia for Yunxiao Pavilion and not find a way out. That's still because Yunxiao Pavilion is my home. If there is no Yunxiao Pavilion, there will be no me, Shen Yunyan. I also want to repay Liu's mother. No one who was willing to reach out to help me bury my parents and younger brothers, only she. And she has always treated me as my daughter. When I want to enter the industry, she will turn against me. She is sincere to me. Since the five famous buildings were bought by the prince of Jiangxi, more than a dozen girls in Yunxiao Pavilion have been dug up with a lot of money, and the business has become increasingly bleak and difficult to support. Even at this time, my mother didn't force me to sell myself, but I know that everything in her life is here. Yunxiao Pavilion is gone and her life is gone, so I have to try my best to protect Yunxiao Pavilion.

Song Nan nodded slowly and finally understood why Shen Yunyan had great hopes for this Huakui Competition, which turned out to be for all these reasons.

"I am affectionate and righteous, and I want to repay kindness. In my opinion, I am more admirable than many people in the world. Song expresses my respect here."

Shen Yunyan looked at Song Nan with a wry smile and said, "It is a sincere compliment for the slave family to be a prince. In fact, I, Shen Yunyan, regardless of my appearance and sexual lover's talent, I think I am no less than any rich lady or a noble daughter. I have confidence to compare these with them. But the only thing I can't compare with them is the same, which is fate. I believe in fate. God has arranged all this so that you can't get out of his palm and control everything about you. I can only struggle to break free, but I know that it is futile.

Song Nan's heart was shocked. Shen Yunyan was not a living person. These words were obviously her conclusion after thinking deeply. Indeed, she was not inferior to anyone else, but the situation was embarrassing. No matter how hard you tried, the result may not be good. In these days, it can only be attributed to such illusory things as fate. But in fact, Song Nan knows in her heart that the clear hierarchical differences are the root cause of all this, but unfortunately, even she is unable to change these.
