Golden hairpin

Chapter 68 Life and Death Choice

Today's Narcissus seems to be very excited. It should be said that Man Xiu has never seen him when he is not excited. Every time he comes, he either sees a beautiful woman or something new in the Hundred Flowers Hall. Man Xiu doesn't know where he comes from so much leisurely!

"Peach blossom, have you heard about it? There is some big news!"

"What's the matter? Is it worth your special trip?"

"So you really don't know! Let me tell you, alas... Let's make a deal first. I eavesdropped. I only tell you one person. Don't tell anyone else!"

"If you are afraid that I will tell others, you can not say it! I don't want to know either!"

"Ha ha, I don't think our relationship is good? I'll only tell you!"

"Which woman is beautiful again?" Most of the women who come here are elegant and elegant women. They are all dressed enchantingly and richly. Some of them are very beautiful. Man Xiu can't figure it out. They already have a lot. Why are they still not satisfied? They have to come here for fun! Take them as tricks! Therefore, he has always been very disdainful. Man Xiu even occasionally doubts whether he should be the narcissus. No one loves him, but only loves himself. But this idea is limited to occasionally, because in Man Xiu's view, this alias is an insult in itself.

"Shh, I'm not here. Listen to me, it's about our fate!"

"Is it about our fate?" Man Xiu is a little worried about this sentence. What's the matter?"

"Hey, are you nervous? I said, you must be interested in my news!"

Then, Narcissus attached to Man Xiu's ear and quietly told Man Xiu what he heard. It turned out that Fuyu decided to conduct an assessment of the new children at the beginning of the year. If they are qualified, they will be allowed to live in the backyard and start receiving guests.

Hearing this news, Man Xiu didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. He studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting day and night, and made many times more effort and sweat than others, in order to win the annual Longhuxuan match and realize his wish to escape from the Hundred Flowers Museum? And the prerequisite for participating in the competition is to be able to move into the backyard! As long as he passes this assessment, he will take a step away from realizing his wish. Generally speaking, he should be happy, but why is his heart so painful? Ah, that's right! It should be the last sentence said by Narcissus. Staying in the backyard means that you are going to start receiving guests. Why didn't he think of this layer? He tried his best to push himself into the fire as soon as possible!

He doesn't remember when Narcissus left. He only remembers that since he heard the news of Narcissus, he hasn't said a word, and the Guqin that he practiced hard every day hasn't sounded for several days in a row, let alone anything else. Man Xiu still remembers clearly that when Master Shanzhu asked him which one he would choose between the way of life and the road of death, he naturally chose the way of life without thinking about it. When Master Shanzhu later told him that choosing a life path would pay a huge price, he didn't think so, but now it seems that Master Shanzhu is right, and is he right to choose a life path?

Master Mangosteen came in, and Man Xiu was still sitting. In the past few days, he did nothing but eat mechanically. Master Mangosteen saw an abnormal clue. Moreover, Manchu also heard from Fuyu that he wants to conduct an assessment of these new children, and those who are qualified to live in the backyard and make money for him early. He can't raise these children for nothing. Mangosteen also came today to inform Manxiu of this news, but seeing him like this, he has understood seven or eight points in his heart.

"Do you remember that you asked me that day if I was also coerced to come to this place? How did I answer?"

"Voluntary."

"Yes, I came here voluntarily. Do you know why?"

"Master has never mentioned it, so I naturally don't know."

"Do you remember the corner of the roof I look at every day?"

"I remember that in the south, I also asked the master why he looked there every day, but the master avoided answering every time."

"Don't you want to know why?"

"Master will naturally say it when he wants to."

"There is a corner of the Yingchun Building."

"Oh, Yingchun Building. It must be the same place as the Hundred Flowers Hall. Man Xiu has been extremely disappointed with names like this, so he said it without any expression.

"Yes, it's almost, but it's normal. It's a place for men to have fun."

Isn't it the same in the Hundred Flowers Museum? In words, as long as you want, you can enjoy the supreme joy of the world! However, it is uncertain whether it is the people who enjoy the joy or us who want to sell their sex.

"Do you know all about it?"

"What about the assessment of moving into the backyard? Well, I know! Master must have come here because of this. Oh, Master hasn't finished yet. What's wrong with Yingchun Building? Man Xiu seems to be very reluctant to mention the matter of living in the backyard. It's better to delay one minute or one minute. It's better not to mention it all his life.

"Oh, Yingchun Building, there is my favorite person there!"

"Oh?" Man Xiu, who had been expressionless, raised his head and looked at the master who had been with him for half a year in shock.

"The Yingchun Building is a prostitute. Although you can see the corner of the roof here, it is actually quite far away. I went there once when I was 15 years old. In order to see her, I was driven out by the old woman there, because I was penniless at that time. With that, a trace of bitterness flashed on his face, and then he continued to say, "At that time, I thought the same thing as you. If you want to give birth, you must give birth. As the saying goes, the green hills will not have to worry about firewood! What's more, I have been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was a child. In addition to my poor family, I am still mentally rich. One day, I will meet Bole, and I will get ahead. At that time, I will redeem my favorite person from there, take her far away, and go to a place where there is no one, live and live for the rest of my life. However, I chose to live, but the reality made me unable to survive. Because of the person I love, her father likes gambling and loses her to the local rich man. Zhang Cai mainly married her as the eighth concubine. Because of me, she refused to die, but it angered the rich man Zhang. Rich Zhang not only sold her to Yingchun Building to pay off her debts, but also used his Hengtong relationship to make me have no foothold. I also wanted to leave, go to another country for development, and come back to pick her up when she is developed, but after all, she is still a person who can't do a big job, and I can't let her go. What's more, there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart. This is under the feet of the emperor. There are many opportunities. Can a big Tokyo city not accommodate me? As a result, I was wrong and really couldn't tolerate me. Everywhere I went, I ran into a wall. The only one who was willing to use my music hall was also smashed by Zhang's rich man. The music hall could only choose to let me sweep out of the house in exchange for peace. But from now on, there is no place to dare to use me anymore! Therefore, all I can do is to beg every day and keep turning around the Yingchun Building. I hope that one day I can see my beloved from a certain angle, and I will be satisfied. However, after all, I never saw her, but I was desperate. I thought of death, because I can't see any hope anymore. But when I arrived at the river, I was sighing that God was unfair and gave me the ability of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it made me not have talent. It made me see that my lover was sold but there was nothing I could do. When I died, I accidentally met Fuyu. He asked me if I wanted to follow him. I agreed without thinking about it at that time, so I followed He arrived at the current Hundred Flowers Museum. At that time, the Hundred Flowers Museum was not as big as it is now, with only a few people. After I knew what Fuyu was doing, I was also a little hesitant, but when I saw the corner of the familiar roof from the Hundred Flowers Museum, I was determined to stay here.

"Have you seen her again?"

"No, never again. I originally wanted to save some silver in the Hundred Flowers Museum to redeem her. Then go and beg Fuyu. Even if he doesn't agree, I will elope with her. Even if I am a pair of bitter mandarin ducks fleeing everywhere in this life, as long as we are together. As a result, I tried my best to receive guests, save money, and practice my skills. When the silver was almost saved, I also won the first place in the Longhuxuan test. When I had a chance to see her, I didn't have the courage. Alas, for fifteen years, the glory of those years has been destroyed by the years. Does she still want to see me?"

"So you no longer paid attention to this Longhuxuan's comparison, but abandoned yourself?"

Self-abandonment? You can't say that. It's just a matter of muddle along!"

"In my opinion, they are almost the same. But you still think about her, otherwise you can't look at the corner of the roof of the Yingchun Building every day.

"..." The mangosteen was silent.

After a long time, Man Xiu took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Master, thank you!"

"Oh? Thank you for what I do?"

"I know what to do. I will do a good job, don't worry! But..."

"But what?"

"However, I also want to advise you that you have to meet her, no matter what the result is!"

Mangkhut didn't say anything more, took out a book from the cuff, put it on the Xiu table, and walked out of the door silently. Looking at the master's lonely back, Man Xiu was also sad. But when Man Xiu opened the book left by his master, he only felt a fever on his face. It turned out that the pictures on it were all about men and women. However, compared with shyness, Man Xiu now feels the pain more deeply, because these are what he has to face. It was not until he chatted with the water fairy again that Man Xiu knew that he should have learned these from the beginning, but Master Mangzhu saw that he was working very hard to learn skills and did not want to stay here, so he never mentioned it. It was not until he was about to enter the backyard that he had to know that Master Shanzhu taught this skill. Compared with him, it is better to say that Master Shanzhu asked him to read more books. But Manxiu was grateful to Master Mangkhut. Without him, Manxiu might have chosen to die in despair long ago.
