Chapter 3

Yanfeng noticed that he was secretly looking at the snacks on the table, picking celery and mulberry. He felt funny in his heart. He suddenly came up with a ghost idea. He wanted to punish the bold girl who didn't know the height of the earth.

Yan Feng said to Caiqin and Caisang kindly, "I like the servant who doesn't talk much. I don't want your two mouths to be idle. I want to give you snacks. Get up, and let that cheap maid with sharp tongue and sharp mouth continue to scold me. "

Yanfeng imagines Murong Zhining's mood at the moment in her heart: she is starving to see her companion eating delicious snacks in front of her, and she can only bear the suffering like a hundred claws scratching her heart. She finally realized how stupid it was to fight against the emperor. She knelt on the ground and cried bitterly for Yan Feng's forgiveness of her unreasonable confrontation. She begged Yan Feng's adults to ignore villains and give her a snack. Thinking of this, Yan Feng's face appeared with a smile that was very inconsistent with his identity and was not kind.

Caiqin is ecstatic. He stares at the dessert on the table, with green light in his eyes. Hearing that Yanfeng wanted to reward her, he grabbed a plate of chestnut cake from the palace maid and began to devour it. She ate too fast to breathe. Teasing the eunuchs beside, they all covered their mouths and laughed.

Caisang is also very hungry, but she and Murong Zhining are good sisters. They have said that we should share our blessings and difficulties together. Even if she is hungry again, she should take into account the feelings of Murong Zhining.

Caisang has the heart to refuse, and is afraid of the fire. She picked up a piece of cake in embarrassment and slowly handed it to her mouth. She picked celery while everyone was laughing, grabbed a piece of cake, and quickly stuffed it into her skirt. She knew that Murong Zhining must also be hungry. She wanted to hide a snack for her.

Murong Zhining wipes the sweat on her forehead. These days, she is in the dungeon and can't sleep well without enough food. Plus kneeling for so long, she looked embarrassed and weak, but she insisted stubbornly, telling the story: she vaguely remembered that she was ten years old, and had been resold many times.

A young woman takes a little girl to a busy courtyard with many pavilions. There are a group of beautiful women dressed in red and green in the yard. They are dressed up enchanting or pure, and they shuttle among a group of men with dimples like flowers. These men's Brocade clothes are either rich or expensive at first sight. They drank wine in groups in the yard, listened to music, and occasionally pulled the beautiful women passing by.

The woman led the little girl to a well-dressed woman in her forties and said, "you will be here to enjoy happiness with this lady in the future." The woman pushes the little girl to her wife, turns around and takes a bulging bag from the lady. Thanks a million, she leaves the little girl.

The lady took the little girl to the backyard, had her take a bath, changed her clean clothes, and fed her.

When I saw the little girl again, my wife's eyes lit up. The little girl who changed into clean clothes, though born thin, is slender and soft. The lady realized: This is a treasure. In time, this little girl will be the treasure of her library and bring her countless silver.

The little girl later learned that this place is called wanhuage. It's a place where men drink flower wine and have fun. Common people call it brothel.

Her name is Qin Meixue. She is the owner of this brothel. Qin Meixue was also a beauty when she was young. She used to be the number one in another brothel. She had several good old faces who were all senior members of the court. Later, a mysterious gold Lord redeemed her and opened the Flower Pavilion for her. With such a big back-up, Qin Meixue's business is booming, and he receives all the nobles and gentlemen.

Qin Meixue carefully observed the little girl's fingers: "you will be called Qin Qiuyue later, you will call my mother. I want you to eat and dress well, but you have to listen to me. "

But the little girl's head tilted naively: "I can call your mother and listen to you. But my name is Murong Zhining. My mother told me before she died that my mother would come to me one day. I can't change my name at will. "

Qin Meixue tries to suppress her anger. She thinks the child has a strong personality and is afraid of being difficult to adjust. On second thought, this girl's name is very beautiful. It's better to let her alone. It just sells her personal feelings. Besides, who dares to come to her place to find someone? She has a backstage.

Murong Zhining spent five years in Wanhua Pavilion. During this period, Qin Meixue was very kind to her, and also invited a professional teacher to teach her to read, play, draw, sing, dance and tea art.

Murong Zhining doesn't know why Qin's mother let her learn these things. She doesn't even know what kind of fate women in brothels will face. She only knows that these years are too hard and too tired. She has no choice and doesn't want to be resold to others. Since we can't fight against heaven, why not accept it? In order to please Qin Meixue, she studies all kinds of skills.

Gradually, the music, chess, calligraphy and painting of Murong Zhining have been improved. Her talent in zither skill even amazed her master. Shifu is a famous zither player in Beijing. Apart from teaching zither, she also arranges a lot of lost ancient zither scores with her, which makes her gain a lot of experience.

The growth of Murong Zhining makes Qin Meixue feel happy. She secretly admires her unique vision. She looks forward to the near future, Murong Zhining will become her cash cow.However, things did not develop as Qin Meixue hoped. One day, a rich businessman invited Zhuang Cheng to drink in the Wanhua Pavilion. Zhuang Cheng accidentally saw Murong Zhining playing the piano in the backyard. The young girl who has just grown up is quiet and beautiful.

Zhuang Cheng wants to buy this girl. Qin Meixue finally hopes to grow up in Murong Zhining. She will soon make money for her. Where can she give up? However, as soon as the gold master, who is a senior member of the imperial court, wanted to win over Zhuang Cheng, he forced her to give Murong Zhining to Zhuang Cheng.

Zhuang Cheng's wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He knows the consequences of taking it back, but he doesn't dare to put it out for private use, so he has a bad idea.

When Zhuang Cheng's son was a child, he was sick, hurt his brain, and became a fool. Most people would not marry his daughter to such a fool. So he took Murong Zhining back to the villa house under the pretext of having a child's daughter-in-law. Seeing that Murong Zhining was very beautiful, Mrs. Zhuang agreed happily.

At the beginning, Mrs. Zhuang was able to treat Murong Zhining kindly, only treating her as a general servant girl. Zhuang Cheng is a thief with no guts. He can only secretly move with Murong Zhining, but she is smart and alert. Zhuang Cheng can't get any money from her. But after a long time, Mrs. Zhuang noticed.

Once, while Murong Zhining was serving tea, Zhuang Cheng touched her slender arm and was just seen by Zhuang's wife. Mrs. Zhuang believes that Zhuang Cheng is a coward. She has no courage at all. She believes that Murong Zhining has seduced Zhuang Cheng.

Madame Zhuang is a well-known vinegar jar. She beat Murong Zhining violently, transferred her to be a servant girl, and always sent some dirty work to do for her.

Mrs. Zhuang scolds Murong Zhining not only for fighting, but also for humiliating her in front of others and calling her frivolous and mean. The servants in the mansion are all grass on the wall. Seeing that Murong Zhining offended his wife, he also followed her to humiliate and crowd her out. Qin picking is one of them.

There is a good guy in Caiqin. In order to please Caiqin, he makes rumors everywhere. He said that he had witnessed the secret meeting between the Master Zhuang Cheng and Murong Zhining behind the rockery in the back garden.

Caiqin was envious of Murong Zhining and wanted to please Mrs. Zhuang. She immediately reported the news to Mrs. Zhuang. She wants to borrow madam Zhuang's hand to teach Murong Zhining a lesson.

Mrs. Zhuang knocked over the vinegar jar. Her anger was hard to calm. She beat Murong Zhining hard, and caught Zhuang Cheng's old face.

The cruel madam Zhuang didn't let Murong Zhining go easily. She forced her silly son and Murong Zhining to close in a room. She wanted to borrow her silly son's hand and destroy Murong Zhining. Then she accepted Murong Zhining as her silly son's side room.

Mrs. Zhuang has a good idea. She can break Zhuang Cheng's sense of guilt and make a beautiful concubine for her silly son. In Mrs. Zhuang's mind, although the son is silly, he is born noble. Murong Zhining, however, is just a cheap girl of unknown origin. She is not worthy of the reputation of a banker. In the future, she can only be a concubine of her silly son. Fortunately, God pities, that fool, in addition to eating, drinking, playing, nothing to understand. Murong Zhining and he are at peace.

Mrs. Zhuang sees that her plan fails, and angrily punishes Murong Zhining to the kitchen to do the dirtiest and most tiring work.

Until Zhuang Cheng was investigated for corruption, Murong Zhining was always a rough servant girl in the villa. She is not the child-in-law of the banker at all, and Zhuang Cheng has never had the chance to touch her.

Yan Feng listened to Murong Zhining's story, the color of contempt on his face was even worse. He doesn't believe that the little woman who dares to scold him is still innocent. He doesn't want to let Murong Zhining go. He wants to avenge the insult. Yan Feng will not only expose this hypocritical woman on the spot, but also prove that she is full of lies and filthy.

Yan Feng dismissively shook his noble head: "with your one-sided words, how can you prove your innocence? I don't believe you are a pure woman. " Caiqin also echoed the emperor's wisdom.

The shameless and downfall of picking celery makes picking mulberry hate itchy. But Caisang is timid and dumb. She doesn't know how to defend Murong Zhining. She is anxious and helpless.

In addition to strong revenge, Yanfeng has a curious heart. He wants to test his own guess and humiliate Murong Zhining by the way. In order to finish the lawsuit as soon as possible, he came up with an idea that he would have Murong Zhining's body examined.

Murong Zhining is full of shame and indignation, but she agrees without hesitation. She knew that the emperor would not give up, and would try to embarrass her. She didn't care to prove anything to him, but she had to. She had no other way.

The eunuch immediately sent an experienced old maid to take Murong Zhining into a room. Murong Zhining has never experienced an autopsy, and she is also curious.

The old maid sent away the rest of the people and ordered Murong Zhining to lie down. When Murong Zhining learned that she would not only take off her clothes, but also look at the most secret parts, her face turned red and she refused to cooperate. Her shame was too strong, her eyes glistening with tears.

The old maid did not embarrass her. Her eyes fell on her abdomen, and she touched her stomach with her hands. Murong Zhining shyly covers her face with her hands, and looks at the old maid quietly from her fingers.The old maid's face sank slowly, and she looked like she wanted to talk. She hesitated for a long time, and finally said nothing. She went out to go back to her life.

Yanfeng has been waiting for a long time. In his opinion, this kind of thing doesn't need to be tested for such a long time. He guessed that it must be the woman who was afraid to show up and refused to cooperate. Yan Feng was not upset, so he walked back and forth with his hands on his back. The eunuch next to him kept fanning him to reduce his anger.

Finally, a eunuch trotted back with him. The eunuch bowed his head and whispered in the ear of Yanfeng.
