The carriage drives out of city gate, along the major road east, the steady compartment gradually changes jolts. 马车从城门驶出,沿着官道一路东去,平稳的车厢逐渐变的颠簸起来。 The so-called major road, actually is also the slightly smooth unsurfaced road, cannot with the pitch street of later generation even be compared with the cement road surface by far, the carriage does not have the slight aseismic performance, from short fortunately, the first even/including several double-hour sit in the carriage, on black rubs different of later generation village road, Li Yi very long have not felt this suffering. 所谓的官道,其实也就是稍微平坦一些的土路,远远不能和后世的柏油马路甚至是水泥路面相比,马车也没有丝毫减震性能可言,距离短了还好,一连几个时辰坐在马车里面,和后世乡村路上的黑摩的没什么两样,李易已经很久没有感受过这种折磨了。 Long sighing, without this matter, he should live together affectionately with Rúyee now, conducts the happy wedding journey, looked that the mountain looked the water looked the flower looks at the star to look at moon, rather than person drowsy lying down in the carriage, or is two people...... 长长的叹了一口气,如果没有这档子事,他现在本来应该和如仪双宿双飞,进行甜蜜的蜜月旅行,看山看水看花看星星看月亮,而不是一个人昏昏欲睡的躺在马车里,或者是两个人…… The car(riage) curtain was lifted, coerces the fresh air of light fragrance to well up, Li Yi Second Young Lady Liu lets a position, being bored to death by the crevice of car(riage) curtain, throws the broad bean to the mouth, while looks at the path that backs up unceasingly. 车帘被掀开,裹挟着淡淡香味的新鲜空气涌进来,李易给柳二小姐让出来一点位置,百无聊赖的透过车帘的空隙,一边给嘴里扔蚕豆,一边看着不断倒退的道路。 Equitation racing line/traverse of several double-hour, regarding Second Young Lady Liu, although is the piece of cake, but does not have the initial new vigor, refuses to compromise for the final several broad beans in bag with Li Yi. 几个时辰的骑马奔行,对于柳二小姐来说虽然是小菜一碟,但也早就没了最初的新鲜劲儿,和李易为了袋子里的最后几颗蚕豆僵持起来。 Until Li Yi a broad bean that moistened oneself saliva throws, after trading a Second Young Lady Liu supercilious look ruthlessly, gained the final victory. 直到李易将一颗沾了自己口水的蚕豆扔进去,换来柳二小姐一记狠狠的白眼之后,取得了最后的胜利。 „Marched on the roads of several double-hour, everyone was also tired, or in front rest a while?” Li Yi moves to the carriage in front, lifts the car(riage) curtain, said one to outside. “赶了几个时辰的路,大家也都累了吧,要不在前面歇息一会儿？”李易移动到马车前面,掀开车帘,向外面说了一句。 Old Man Li pokes head from the following small point carriage, said: „Young master, the weather, then did not have the less than half double-hour early, will arrive in the next county, after we arrived there, first looked for an inn to stop over, early tomorrow morning again.” 李姓老者从后面一辆小一点的马车里面探出头来,说道:“少爷,天色不早了,再有小半个时辰,就会到达下一处县城,我们到了那里之后,先找个客栈落脚,明日一早再出发。” Li Yi nods and gets in the carriage, in the heart rejoiced secretly, luckily Qing'an Mansion and Capital City from are not too far, 67 days, compared with frequently several months traveling schedule, are very short. 李易点点头又钻进了马车,心中暗自庆幸,也幸亏庆安府和京城距离并不算太远,六七天的时间,和动辄数月的行程相比,已经算是很短了。 However, thinks that such jolting will also continue for a week, is some unavoidable headaches...... 不过,想到这样的颠簸还会持续一个星期,还是难免的有些头疼…… ...... …… ...... …… In the yard, Sun soon falls, the young housemaid lies down on rocking chair that in Li Yi lies down frequently, board finger headage anything. 小院里面,太阳快要落下,小丫鬟躺在李易经常躺的摇椅上,板着手指头数着什么。 „Half a month was 15 days, Young Master and Second Young Lady walked for quite a while, 14 -and-a-half days, can see them again......” “半个月是十五天,姑爷和二小姐走了半天了,还有十四天半,就能再见到他们……” „Xiao Huan......” the Rúyee sound passed from the room. “小环……”如仪的声音从屋里面传了出来。 Hears young lady's voice, young housemaid „yeah” response. 听到小姐的声音,小丫鬟“哎”的回应了一声。 „Washed the hands, comes back to eat meal.” “洗洗手,回来吃饭了。” „Comes back.” “就回来。” Crawls from the rocking chair, looked at out one, sees Uncle Fang from the entrance process , the revolutions turns head, listless walks toward the room. 从摇椅上爬起来,望了一眼门外,看到方大叔从门口经过,又转回头,无精打采的向房间里面走去。 Meanwhile, Old Fang and several men just went out of the house front door. 与此同时,老方和几个汉子刚刚走出宅子大门。 „Old Fang, you determined their before evening's 11 p.m. to 1 a.m, won't come back?” A man does not believe firmly asked one. “老方,你确定她们晚上子时之前不会回来？”一个汉子不确信的问了一句。 „Relax.” Old Fang patted the chest saying: „Several young married women went to the temple to pray, does not arrive will not come back late at night absolutely, so long as we went home before 11 p.m. to 1 a.m, will not have what issue.” “放心吧。”老方拍了拍胸口说道:“几个婆娘去庙里祈福了,不到后半夜绝对不会回来,只要我们在子时之前回家,不会有什么问题。” „That is good, heard that these days chiefs among flowers compete very splendidly, when with great difficulty the young married woman is not at home, this time may result in attractively.” “那就好,听说这几日的花魁争夺非常精彩,好不容易等到婆姨不在家,这次可得好好看看。” Several men smiled two obvious, in one arrived on the street, immediately disperses. 几个汉子心照不宣的笑了两声,一上到街上,立刻就分散开来。 „Hehe, I go to Yingchun Building to have a look, Old Fang do you want to go to the crowd of jade institutes to look at Xiao Hong Young Lady?” Only is left over Old Fang and another man time, the opposite party patted the shoulder of Old Fang, is laughing departure. “嘿嘿,我去迎春楼看看,老方你是要去群玉院看小红姑娘吧？”只剩下老方和另一名汉子的时候,对方拍了拍老方的肩膀,大笑着离开。 Old Fang scolded one secretly, walks in the opposite direction. 老方暗自骂了一句,往相反的方向走去。 But at this time, in the group jade institute, the procuress hides in the room, beaming with joy, is obviously happy. 而此时,群玉院中,老鸨躲在房间里面,眉开眼笑,心情明显不错。 Pounds the complete resources on Chen Miaomiao, is really a wise decision, she originally known, these days were to gain fully the attention, in addition she also made the painstaking effort, won over the support of many son of the influential, the popularity and these established chiefs among flowers were equally matched, this year ten big chiefs among flowers, feared that can have no trouble one. 把全部的资源砸在陈妙妙身上,真是一个明智的决定,她本来就小有名气,这几日更是赚足了关注,再加上她本人也下了苦功,争取到了不少公子哥的支持,人气和那些老牌花魁不相上下,今年十大花魁,怕是可以稳拿一个了。 What only regret is, what Zuimo did not know evil, no matter what she tried every means to persuade, is not willing to struggle the chief among flowers the position, if she had such thoughts, ranking definitely in Chen Miaomiao front. 唯一遗憾的是,醉墨不知道中了哪门子邪,任她好说歹说,就是不愿意去争花魁的位置,如果她有这样的心思,排名肯定会在陈妙妙的前面。 She used all might in this line for a lifetime, anything disposition has not seen, like Zuimo, must suffer a loss sooner or later, not while young for these years, well puts together, schemes the scheme for later, perhaps can also end up a wealthy family, like this, no matter what the temper is acting sloppily, will only end up one to end most probably pitifully. 她在这一行摸爬滚打了一辈子,什么脾性的没见过,像醉墨那样,迟早要吃亏的,不趁着年轻这几年,好好的拼一拼,为以后图谋图谋,或许还能够落得一个好人家,像这等任着性子胡来的,大半都只会落得一个凄惨收场。 The knock transmits, the procuress takes back the train of thought that opens the door, sees the person, asked: „Does Zuimo, what matter have?” 敲门声传来,老鸨将思绪收回,打开门,看到来人,问道:“醉墨,有什么事？” If in the past, regarding the leading role of group jade institute, her money tree, the procuress naturally cannot be so desolate, but now, the money tree has changed players, warm that she naturally does not need to show. 若是在以往,对于群玉院的头牌,她的摇钱树,老鸨自然不会这么冷淡,不过现在,摇钱树已经换人了,她自然不需要表现的那么热情。 „Didn't mother ask me to go to sit?” Zeng Zuimo as if completely unconsciously, said as before with a smile. “妈妈不请我进去坐坐吗？”曾醉墨似乎对此全然不觉,依旧笑着说道。 „I said Zuimo, you listen to mother one to urge, this will only destroy yourself finally, even if you do not think of mother, must think of yourself, this way, mother may really unable to help you.” How to say again, was many years of sentiment, the pains that the procuress did not give up urged several. “我说醉墨啊,你就听妈妈一句劝吧,这样最后只会毁了你自己,就算你不为妈妈着想,也要为你自己着想,再这样下去,妈妈可就真的帮不了你了。”再怎么说,也是多年的感情了,老鸨还是不放弃的苦心劝了几句。 Zeng Zuimo smiles, said: „My this time comes for this matter.” 曾醉墨笑了笑,说道:“我这次就是为这件事来的。” „Did you think through?” Procuresses at present one bright. “你想通了？”老鸨眼前一亮。 „Thought through.” Zeng Zuimo nods, said: „I buy freedom.” “想通了。”曾醉墨点了点头,说道:“我来赎身。” ...... …… ...... …… „Where do you come so much money?” In looks to begin one pack of paper money, after appraising the truth, the procuress asked in great surprise. “你哪来这么多钱？”看着手里的一叠银票,鉴定了真伪之后,老鸨大惊问道。 Paper money real, so long as goes to the money shop of corresponding firm, can exchange the equivalent money, the issue is, will she have so much money? 银票是真的,只要去相应商行的钱庄,就能兑换到等值的银子,问题在于,她怎么会有这么多钱？ „These money should enough.” Zeng Zuimo visits her to ask. “这些钱应该够了吧。”曾醉墨看着她问道。 „Sufficed......” nod of procuress machinery. “够了……”老鸨机械的点了点头。 According to the fame, money that in the group jade institute everyone buys freedom is with honest price tag displayed, no matter who, had the thoughts of departure, so long as planned enough enough money, she will put them to leave. 根据名气,群玉院里每个人赎身的银子都是明码标价的,不管是谁,有了离开的心思,只要筹够了足够的银子,她都会放她们离开。 Naturally, like beforehand Zuimo, she easily will not naturally bleed off, but now, her fame has been not as before, after chief among flowers competition, feared that must reduce much, buys freedom the money of needing naturally also to reduce, will at least be less than her hand takes these by far. 当然,像以前的醉墨,她自然是不会轻易放走的,不过现在,她的名气已经大不如前,等到花魁大赛之后,怕是还要降低不少,赎身需要的银子自然也会减少,至少会远远的少于她手上拿着的这些。 She somewhat hesitates at this time at heart, if Zuimo...... 她此时心里有些犹豫,万一醉墨…… This thought just raised, was denied by her, Chen Miaomiao replaces her to become the crowd of jade institute new advertisements to be a foregone conclusion, will not have anything to change again, Zuimo regarding her function, is actually dispensable, accepts money would rather, delivers a favor while convenient to her. 这个念头刚刚升起,就被她否定了,陈妙妙接替她成为群玉院新的招牌已成定局,不会再有什么变化,醉墨对于她的作用,其实已经可有可无,倒不如收下银子,顺便送个人情给她。 „Did you really think?” The procuresses look that she asked one earnestly. Obviously, this time she has made the choice. “你真的想好了？”老鸨看着她认真的问了一句。很显然,此时的她已经做出了选择。 After obtaining the Zeng Zuimo nod confirmation, the procuress sighs, takes out her indenture of sale of person into servitude from the room box, said: „Looked in the past friendship, words that must walk, after chief among flowers competition .” 得到曾醉墨点头确认之后,老鸨叹了一口气,从房间里面的箱子里取出她的卖身契,说道:“看在往日的情分上,要走的话,等到花魁大赛之后吧。” Although her fame has been not as before, but strong most people, when this key, the group jade institute gains a popularity, does not have the fault. 虽说她的名气已经大不如前了,但到底还是强过了大多数人,在这关键的时候,群玉院多赚一点人气,是没有坏处的。 „Good.” But is late several days leaves, so many years waited, waited again for several days also no, the indenture of sale of person into servitude in her hand, is attaining that flash of indenture of sale of person into servitude let alone, she is free. “好。”只不过是迟几天离开而已,这么多年都等过来了,再等几天也没什么,更何况卖身契在她手上,在拿到卖身契的那一瞬间,她已经自由了。 Walks from the room of procuress, Zeng Zuimo felt that the unprecedented relaxedness, unloaded finally pressed for a long time in the mountain of shoulder, long breathing a sigh of relief, went back to the room, does not seem to seen in those days sisters complex vision, threw the look that took pleasure in others' misfortunes to look but not see regarding Chen Miaomiao, shoves open the door to walk, saw that Xiao Cui is sitting in the bedside looks distressed. 从老鸨的房间走出来的时候,曾醉墨感觉到前所未有的轻松,终于卸下了长久以来压在肩头的大山,长长的舒了一口气,一路走回房间,仿佛没有看到往日姐妹各种复杂的目光,对于陈妙妙投过来幸灾乐祸的眼神视而不见,推开房门走进去,看到小翠正坐在床边愁眉苦脸。 „This silly thing.” “这个傻丫头。” She muttered one low voice, originally wants to give her a pleasant surprise, since complied with mother conservative secret, but also after must wait till the chief among flowers competition ended, can tell this news. 她小声的喃喃了一句,本来想要给她一个惊喜的,不过既然答应了妈妈保守秘密,还要等到花魁大赛结束之后,才能告诉她这个消息。
