Jadeite Pavilion? Ji Yunshu had never heard of them before. Looking at these strange people, her heart twisted. She couldn't help but clench her fists under her clothes. She swept her gaze over them and took another step back. Her expression became even more solemn and cold.
She asked coldly, "I don't know you. Why did you bring me here?"
"Miss, we don't have any bad intentions. We have no choice but to do this."
"What do you mean?"
Hongniang sighed and brushed the handkerchief in her hand forward heavily. She sighed again and even squeezed out a few drops of tears from her eyes. She looked really pitiful.
But even though she was pitiful, she still had to explain the situation.
Ji Yunshu was still in a state of confusion. Why did they bring her here for no reason and put on such a bitter show?
If you have something to say, just say it! Hongniang paused for a long time before she said, "To tell you the truth, my daughter is seriously ill. I don't know what kind of stubborn disease it is, but she has been unconscious ever since. I don't know how many doctors we have found, but it's all useless. I said I was helpless.
As a mother, I cried during the day and even at night. My tears almost dried up! My heart is about to break. If my daughter doesn't wake up soon, I will die with her. "
Wait!
You still haven't said the main point?
Ji Yunshu was too lazy to say anything. She just watched her cry and listened. Hongniang beat her chest and stamped her feet. While wiping her tears, she continued to say, "They say that I, Hongniang, have a good life, but how is my life good? It's good for others, but only I know that the Courtesan Election is coming soon. If my daughter doesn't wake up soon, I can only kill myself so that I won't be laughed at after I lose. But if I die, what will happen to the people of Jadeite Pavilion? " Then, she looked at Ji Yunshu, her eyes full of hope. She sniffled and said excitedly, "Fortunately, the heavens love me, the matchmaker, and arranged for a benefactor like you to appear in front of me. This is great! I finally have hope! My Jadeite Pavilion finally has hope!
My Jadeite Pavilion is finally saved. "
She was about to grab Ji Yunshu's hand, but fortunately, Ji Yunshu dodged in time.
"Miss, I really am not a bad person. You are my living Bodhisattva. I have to worship you."
"If you have something to say, say it." "Then I won't beat around the bush with you. Actually, a few days ago, when I entered the city, I saw you leaving the city. At that time, you were sitting in the carriage. Fortunately, the wind blew, and I saw you. The moment I saw you, I knew that God wasn't real.
They wanted to cut off my Hong Niang's path, so they arranged for you. " Hong Niang was still so excited, "I won't hide it from you, you look very similar to my daughter, especially your eyes and brows. If you were to wear a veil, you would simply be my daughter."
"So?" "My daughter wants Huazheng. There is no one in Yan Jing who doesn't know her. Three years ago, she was personally bestowed the title of Top Courtesan by the Emperor. You don't know how glorious my daughter was at that time. Countless people in Yan Jing were envious of her. Many nobles and high officials were willing to pay a huge sum of money to get my daughter's attention. It was God's blessing. The past few days have been easy. With my daughter here, there are almost no young masters who don't come to my Jadeite Pavilion every day.
I spent a lot of money listening to her play the zither. "Hong Niang's face was full of pride as she talked about her daughter.
However, Ji Yunshu didn't know her and had never seen her before.
She wanted to see what the number one beauty in Yan Jing looked like.
Just as she was about to speak, Hong Niang started sobbing softly. The proud and proud expression on her face disappeared, and she became pitiful. She said, "But the weather is unpredictable. A year ago, my daughter suddenly fell seriously ill and couldn't recover. Since then, I could only send away anyone who came to see me.
My days are getting worse. I still have to treat her, and the money I have is almost used up. If this continues, how can I live? How can the people in my Jadeite Pavilion continue to live? "
Snot and tears flowed down her face.
As Hong Niang complained, Ji Yunshu finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. The girl named Huazheng was not the daughter of Hongniang. She was abandoned by her biological parents in the wilderness when she was a child and was picked up by Hongniang. Hongniang was the manager of the Jade Delight Pavilion. It was not a brothel, but a good place for rich young masters to kill time and have fun. It was very elegant. As Huazheng grew up, she became slim and graceful, like a fairy. Even women would be jealous of her. She was also a famous talented woman. She was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as poetry and songs. Although many people had never seen her, everyone said that she was the most beautiful woman in Yan Jing City. She was the object of every man's dreams. She was lucky. Three years ago, she won the title of Top Beauty and was the only candidate to win the title.
After that, she was summoned to the palace by the emperor. That year, the entire Yan Jing city was shaken by her. It was said that even the emperor, who only favored the empress, was moved when he saw her. However, the Jadeite Pavilion wasn't allowed to enter the palace as a concubine, so the emperor had no choice but to give up on this idea. In the past three years, because Huazheng won the title of Jadeite Pavilion, many men came from afar to seek an audience with her. In order to obtain her paintings or to play a song on the zither, those men paid a lot of money in exchange.
Some even used their lives to seek an audience with her.
It was obvious how crazy they were! The reason why Jadeite Pavilion's customers came in an endless stream was because of Huazheng's beauty and fame. Hong Niang earned a lot of money. However, ever since Huazheng became seriously ill a year ago, Hong Niang always said that Huazheng was busy and didn't want others to know about it. Every day, those who came because of Huazheng's reputation or those young masters who frequented Jadeite Pavilion gradually lost interest. They all went to Fengya Pavilion in the city, where Li Shiyan and Luo Yang got drunk.
。
As a result, Jadeite Pavilion declined! In the past year, Hong Niang had to treat Huazheng's illness as well as feed the dozens of people here. She spent money like water and soon ran out of money. Don't be fooled by the fact that they were dressed well now, it was just a show for outsiders.
。 "Miss, I know it's wrong to bring you here in this way, but I have no other choice. This is the only way!" Hong Niang finally spoke her mind. "When I saw you before, it proved that God didn't really want to cut off my path of retreat, so I sent someone to follow you out of the city. I wanted to beg you in the past, but I couldn't find an opportunity, so I sent someone to knock you out and bring you here. I only ask for your help, Miss. Pretend to be my daughter. When the time comes, you can wear a veil and no one will recognize you. When my Jadeite Pavilion's business comes, I will definitely thank you heavily. Also, this year's Jadeite Pavilion is about to be selected. According to the rules, the previous Jadeite Pavilion's top courtesan has to appear. If my daughter doesn't go, everyone in Yan Jing will know.
If she falls ill, then I'm really finished. So, Miss, please help me. "
'Fuck!
What did Ji Yunshu hear?
What did she mean by pretending to be her daughter?
Her worldview was completely changed! '
Involuntarily, Ji Yunshu sympathized with Miss Huazheng. She was completely treated as a money-making tool.
How pitiful!
It seemed that Hong Niang didn't know that Su Ziluo arranged for her to leave Yan Jing. If she knew, she wouldn't have dared to kidnap her and bring her here.
However, it wasn't easy to announce her identity here.
Anger rose in Ji Yunshu's eyes. "I won't help you with this."
"Miss?"
"You'd better send me back now. Otherwise, when my people find this place, you won't be able to keep your Jadeite Pavilion."
Her tone was filled with warning and warning.
