Chapter 66 Master and Apprentice jiao

To be honest, Man Xiu doesn't hate the man named Mangosteen in front of him. He thinks that this man speaks freely and even looks a little like his father. But Manxiu also knows very well that this mangosteen is from the Hundred Flowers Museum, and it must be a person trusted by the owner Fuyu, otherwise Fuyu would not have sent him to be his master. But why is the Hundred Flowers Hall described in Fuyu's mouth a paradise on earth that can enjoy all the happiness on earth, but this person says that the Hundred Flowers Hall is a place where the devil stays? Man Xiu couldn't help but have an extremely strong interest in the man in front of him.

"The devil's place? Why do you say that?

"Then why do you say this is a ghost place?"

"Naturally, I have my own reasons!"

"Ha ha, then I must also have my own reasons!"

Man Xiu was captured here for no reason, and was inexplicably guarded. He was often warned that this is the Hundred Flowers Hall, and he could not be allowed to mess around! Coupled with the strict guard of ten steps outside, there are strange people going in and out. Man Xiu naturally feels that this is not a good place, and it is also extenable to describe it as a ghost place. But mangosteen is a person in the Hundred Flowers Museum. Why did he also say that? Although Man Xiu is curious, the other party, like him, refuses to answer positively, and there should be something difficult to say.

"What the hell is this place? Why are all the good men dressed like that?

Mangosteen looked over along the long eyes, and it turned out that a young and beautiful man passed by outside the window. After looking at it, mangosteen didn't think so. Obviously, it was common. What, don't you like it?"

"Does that look good? Dressed up like a girl?" But after saying that, he felt speechless, because the mangosteen in front of him also put on makeup and turned into a beautiful appearance.

"Do you know that this is also one of your compulsory courses?"

"What?" Manxiu was stunned.

"Yes, you heard it correctly. We have to learn how to make makeup the most beautiful."

"What do you do to learn this?"

"You just came today?"

"What?"

"Then you must not have seen it in the front and back yard?"

"Front and rear courtyard?"

"Eh, it refers to the front yard and backyard. The place we are in now is a separate courtyard in the backyard called Cui Zhuxuan, which is inhabited by new children like you. Generally, after waiting for a year and a half, if you are an apprentice and obedient, you will be asked to move to the backyard to live. Look, isn't that an alley? It's the backyard. That's where most people live. The backyard building is divided into four floors. You have to live according to the level. The most common one lives on the bottom floor, and the slightly better one lives on the second floor, and so on. When you live at the highest level, it means that you have the right to speak, and even Fuyu will give you three points when you speak.

"Oh? Do you mean the owner of Baihua Hall?

"Yes, because when you live at the highest level, it means that the people you make are also upper-class people. They must be rich or powerful people in the current dynasty. Fuyu has always had contact with the people of the court and has a chance to get closer. Naturally, it's too late to be abusing. How can he offend people?

"Oh, so that's it. What does the front yard do?"

"The front yard? It's a place to receive guests!"

"What, picking up customers?" Man Xiu couldn't help asking mangosteen again in surprise.

"Yes, the place to receive guests!"

"This..." Man Xiu wants to say, isn't it only female prostitutes who use such a word? But before he could say it, he heard Shanzhu say, "What, what do you think this place is?" The only difference is that this is the world of male prostitutes, and the guests are not only men, but also women!"

"Ah!" Mangosteen's words were like a blow to the head, not on Man Xiu's head, but on Man Xiu's heart. He didn't understand what the beautiful men he saw did, and it was not until now that he understood what the Hundred Flowers Hall was doing!

"No, no, how is it possible, how is it possible! How can I be in such a place? I want to go, I want to go!" Man Xiu, who was about to rush out of the door, was dragged over by mangosteen.

"Shh..." Mangkhut covered Manxiu's mouth while making a gesture with his other hand to keep silent. Escape costs your life! Fuyu here is the best!" This sentence gradually quieted the excited Manxiu, because he can't die yet, and he still has a lot of things to do! It was not until he was sure that Manxiu was no longer excited that Manchu slowly let go of his hand and gently put the window on, indicating that Manxiu would sit back to his original position.

"Have you read the Book of Changes?"

"No, I heard it's for fortune-telling."

"Poor all sentient beings, most of them only know one and two!"

"Does the Book of Changes have any other functions?"

"The so-called Taiji gave birth to two instruments, two ceremonies gave birth to four elephants, four elephants gave birth to eight trigrams, sixteen trigrams, thirty-two trigrams, sixty-four trigrams. That is to say, there are always two ways in front of people, one is the way to live and the other is the way to die. If you were, would you choose to live or die?"

"Do you still need to ask? Of course, it's the way to live!"

"Well, choose the way to live... But as long as you are a person, you will be constantly in the alternation of water depth and fire. Like this, the water is deep, the fire is hot, the water is deep, the water is deep, the water is deep, and the fire is hot..." Mangosteen said while constantly changing the two sides of the wine glass, "In other words, there are always only difficulties and obstacles in front of people! While choosing the way to live, you choose to fight against difficulties and obstacles, and you have to pay a high price to get through every obstacle in life! But that's why life becomes interesting, isn't it?"

At this time, Man Xiu, who is only 12 years old, obviously can't fully understand what Manchu said, but looking at the deep appearance of Manchu, he is obviously talking about a deep truth. Although I don't quite understand it, it is a little similar to what my father once said about himself, so I have a little more favorable feelings for mangosteen.

"This wine is the best thing in the world and the worst thing! Well, it can relieve your worries when you get drunk! Bad, it can make your worries even more sad!" Shanchu took advantage of this free speech and drank another cup alone.

"You also mean to worry when you say that."

"Who in this world has no worries!"

"Is it that you were also forced to come here?"

"No, I came voluntarily."

"Will people come voluntarily in such a place?"

"I still remember that my master once said a sentence to me that I will never forget, 'Don't always think that you are the poorest person in the world. Everyone in the world is pitiful!'"

"Everyone in the world is pitiful!" Man Xiu repeated the words of mangosteen.

"Ha ha, let's have another drink!" Shanzhu was about to pour wine while talking, but the wine pot was too small. They had drunk all the wine just now.

"Come on, bring the wine!"

I don't know where the little guy outside got such a good hearing. After a while, he came in with a pot full of wine. Before leaving, he left with the tray and the empty wine pot, and didn't forget to bring the door. Like last time, he still didn't even open his mouth, but Man Xiu has begun to get used to it.

"Come on, let's learn to drink in the first class today."

"I..."

"Don't tell me that you don't learn anything. You have already learned!"

"Are you really going to be trapped here all your life?" Man Xiu was extremely disappointed.

"Hey, what's wrong with being here all your life?" Although mangosteen said so, his eyes looked to the south. Although Man Xiu had not seen mangosteen for a long time, he noticed that mangosteen looked in that direction from time to time in the process of talking to him. Manxiu followed the eyes of Manchu, and what he saw was a sudden corner of the roof. What's so good about a roof, just because it's abrupt? That said again. You came here voluntarily. Of course, you are willing to stay here all your life. I'm different. I was arrested. So far, I don't know why I was caught in this place! Is it possible to live a life of a male prostitute in such a muddle? Sell your body, your smile, and your soul? Why! Man Xiu thought so and said hatefully, "I'm not reconciled! I don't accept it!"

"Oh? Could it be the ambition of the swallow bird Anzhi Honghu! Do you still want to be the dragon among people?

"I'm not that ambitious. I'm just an ordinary child! But I must not stay here all my life,

Stay here, where can I find my mother, and how can I get justice for my father!" With that, Man Xiu's eyes turned a little red.

"Oh?" Mangosteen obviously heard another mysterious sound in the words.

"Master, I know you are a good person. Please help me out! I can't stay here. My father died unjustly. My mother's whereabouts are unknown. I am their only son. I have to do something! Master, please!"

"Hmm! What a bold! Do you want me to help you escape? I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible and don't even think about it! If you mention it again, I will arrest you to see Fuyu and see how he will deal with you!"

"I am a good person to tell the truth, but I didn't expect that my master was like those laymen. Well, mangosteen was originally a big celebrity in the Hundred Flowers Museum. I had no eyes and recognized the wrong person! It's okay if you don't help. Anyway, I won't learn anything from my master. Dad thought what a hero I was in those years, how could I endure humiliation here in order to make a living! If you are not willing, take me to see the fragrance. Instead of living such a miserable life all your life, it's better to die cleanly!"

"There is another courtyard in the backyard called Long Huxuan."

"Longhuxuan, even if the dragon and tiger fight, what does it have to do with me!"

Every year on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, there will be a competition in Longhuxuan, divided into four games, piano, chess and calligraphy. At that time, Fuyu will find the most authoritative person to judge. The first person in total score, Fuyu will fulfill a wish of the New Year. Of course, this wish cannot conflict with the rules of the Hundred Flowers Museum, and it is only valid for one day of the Lantern Festival.
