The red lady with a smile

Chapter 1

That night, when the lights were on in the flower street on the border, there was an endless stream of guests. Among them, there was a young man in brocade clothes who was particularly eye-catching.

He is tall and well-dressed, but he has a cute baby face, humming a little song, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, which makes people like him. The girls who saw him along the way couldn't help but glance at him again. I always feel like I can't see enough.

Young Master Jinyi walked for a while, and finally stopped at the door of a shop on Huajie. He looked up at the name of the shop, and the smile on his lips deepened, and then he stepped into the shop without hesitation.

"Boss, I want to buy Xuan Qing from your store!"

Following such a sentence, Xuan Qing was called out from the room, but before he could see his face clearly, he was hugged tightly by the tall opponent.

"Xuan Qing, Xuan Qing, it's really you. You are as beautiful as in the painting. I know you are very smart, so you must go with me."

Following these words, Xuan Qing was taken into the living room of the Jinyuan Tower by the little boss Yao Ling, and only at this time, Xuan Qing had the opportunity to see clearly the Young Master Jin Yi who was going to buy her.

He is very tall, Xuanqing only reaches his shoulders, and he is quite short, but his face is very young, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that makes him look more immature, with dark eyes, almond eyes, a high nose, red lips and white teeth, just two words ──Cute.After asking the little boss, it was confirmed that he was only twenty-eight years old this year, seven years younger than Xuan Qing.

"May I ask who is the guest's name? Where does he live? Why do you want to buy Xuan Qing?"

"My name is Zhao Ziluo. I live in Binzhou. I bought Xuanqing because I want to start a family."

"Binzhou? Mr. Zhao came here specially to buy Xuanqing? Then why didn't you choose a woman from an ordinary family?" Yaoling couldn't believe it. After all, Xuanqing's situation was very special, and the Mr. in front of him was also a little suspicious.

Zhao Ziluo was asked like this, but still maintained a smiling face and said: "I have never liked women since I was a child, but Xuan Qing is what I want."

Yaoling thought about his words, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhao, the painting you mentioned earlier is...?"

"Oh, that's a painting in my home, with Xuan Qing on it, I've always liked it."

"Then Xuan Qing is smart and you mean...?"

"Of course he is very smart, so he will choose to go back with me!"

Zhao Ziluo smiled brightly, but Yao Ling who was talking to him had black lines all over his face.

This person is just a simple child, and even the logic of his speech is extremely immature. When facing him, he is not afraid of being deceived, but is afraid of being annoyed to death, because he needs someone to take care of him, and he needs someone to remind him. He is just a... kid!

Then Yaoling asked a few questions about Zhao Ziluo's family as usual, and learned that Zhao Ziluo was the youngest son in the family. He had three older brothers and one older sister. His parents loved him very much, so he was very concerned about his "sexual interest". There is no objection, but it is stipulated that if you really want to get married, you must be of the same family.

"Then Mr. Zhao just said about getting married...?" Yaoling asked curiously.

Zhao Ziluo nodded with a smile, "Having a concubine is the beginning of starting a family, right?"

Yaoling heard the words, and let out a long sigh, "So that's how it is."

"Hey, and it's impossible for me to marry Xuan Qing, boss, you should know better than anyone else." Zhao Ziluo said jokingly.

Yaoling shrugged helplessly as acquiescence.

Seeing Zhao Ziluo, he smiled even brighter, and said casually, "Xuan Qing is very famous, I remember the nickname he was given...'Hongguan', right?"

This name is also interesting to say, it is an nickname given to Xuan Qing by the guests, it does not mean that he is famous enough to be a red card in the building, but it means that he has the blessing of "matchmaker".

As far as appearance is concerned, Xuan Qing's appearance is at the upper-middle level. He is gentle, with delicate features, and looks quite clean. But I don't know where the "luck" comes from. As soon as a customer buys him home or takes him as a concubine room, then just wait, this guest must have something good to do, and soon he will tie the knot with the one he really loves.

Some people don't believe it, but this fate is always repeated for Xuan Qing. Since she sold herself at the age of 14, Xuan Qing has been bought by four people and accepted by three people, and those seven people are all bringing Xuan Qing back. After returning home, he soon found the person he liked, and after that, he let go of the former concubines and pets, and joined hands with the one he loves for a lifetime.

For them, Xuanqing's "matchmaker" luck is good, but for Xuanqing, it is a bit cruel, because he will never have an ordinary wedding in his life, and he is destined to bear a lifetime of low status, even if someone wants to change it for him. Can't even do it.

"Besides these, do you know anything else?" Yao Ling glanced at Xuan Qing who was standing beside him, "I mean his background..."

"Are you talking about his father taking bribes and breaking the law, his mother bribing officials, his brother taking advantage of power to encroach on land, he and his only sister were implicated in the case, and in the end the two ended up with "lifelong low status"?"

"It's really detailed."

Zhao Ziluo raised his eyebrows innocently, "Because I want to take him as a concubine!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Xuan Qing, and smiled friendlyly at him, "You will agree to go back with me, won't you?"

Xuan Qing was taken aback by the question, and after regaining his composure, he answered slowly: "I'm sorry, this is not something I can decide."

"Ah!?" Zhao Ziluo's expression was very dramatic, and he immediately became depressed when he heard the words, and even the corners of his mouth that had been raised before collapsed, "Why is this? Boss, you will give him to me, right? A brothel Isn’t it possible to buy the person you want with money?”

Hearing this, Yaoling was a little displeased, it wasn't that Zhao Ziluo was wrong, it was just because of his private feelings, the young ladies in the Jinyuan House couldn't be judged as "commodities" for him that's all.

Take the young ladies in the Jinyuan Building as an example. Don’t look at all the smiling faces welcoming guests, but everyone has a bitter past in their hearts, which is their Achilles’ heel. The methods of concealment vary, but any one pushes them to extremes.

Cheng Yin is too extreme, Yin Huan is too indulgent, Li Hua is too forbearing... But Xuan Qing is different from them, his past is well known, there is no way to hide it, and compared to others, it is not miserable The encounter, can only be said to be born in such a family, "unlucky".

Xuanqing's father used to be the magistrate of a small county, and his mother was the daughter of a rich family. There was an older brother and an older sister respectively. It was originally a good family, but because the parents and elder brothers were too greedy to collect money, they were outraged by the public. In the end, the court They sent people to investigate the matter, and Xuan Qing's parents and elder brother were all beheaded for public display, while his ten-year-old sister and him, who had just passed his sixth birthday, could escape death and live. A lifelong low status, which cannot be changed.

Xuan Qing can't remember what kind of life he lived before he was six years old. He always feels that since he was sensible, he lived under the strange eyes of people. Atonement!

These are all force majeure, Xuanqing can only obey, but after these years, he is used to this kind of life, and he doesn't think it is difficult.

According to the inquiry, as a guest, Zhao Ziluo didn't have any serious problems. In the end, after Yao Ling obtained Xuan Qing's consent, the deal was completed.

That night, without further ado, Zhao Ziluo paid the money and took Xuan Qing out of the Jinyuan Building. He didn't even give Xuan Qing time to pack his luggage, and directly hired a carriage and drove to the nearest port overnight.

"Master Zhao, are we hiding someone? Why are you in such a hurry?" Xuan Qing asked curiously while sitting in the carriage.

That party shook his head as if nothing had happened, "No, it's just that there will be some trouble in the morning..."

"Trouble? Is it my fault?"

"No, it's my problem." Zhao Ziluo didn't continue talking here, and changed the subject, "Don't worry, I will support you in the future, and I will buy you food and clothing. Whatever you want, you can talk to me Say, as long as I can do it, I will give it to you.”

Faced with this sudden kind words, Xuan Qing was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Young Master Zhao, you actually want to marry the person you like the most by taking me as a concubine, right? "

"Hey, who wouldn't want to marry the person you love the most!" Zhao Ziluo didn't deny it either.

Sure enough, Xuan Qing nodded calmly on the surface, but secretly sighed at his "luck".

……

Binzhou is near the sea, and Xichuan, where Zhao Ziluo's family is located, has the largest port in Qi Yi's country. It is known as the capital of water transportation, with a developed fishery industry, and it is also a transit point for traders on their way to business.

Of course, Xuanqing is not familiar with these things, Zhao Ziluo told him all about it in the carriage. This is also the first time he has seen Zhao Ziluo's ability to talk nonsense, nonsense, and twitter all the way.

Because the topics were too many and complicated, Xuan Qing couldn't remember all of them at once, but Zhao Ziluo's voice was so nice that he gradually fell asleep, and the last realization was that Zhao Ziluo allowed him to lean on his body, after which Xuanqing fell asleep up.

He woke up again because he heard the sound of water. Xuan Qing opened his eyes, and what he saw was a strange cabin. He was lying on the bed, but Zhao Ziluo was nowhere to be seen.

Xuan Qing felt strange, before he got out of bed and had no time to open the door to ask, the soles of his feet suddenly felt uncomfortable. The wooden board returned to the bed, but still couldn't heal the strange feeling.

The physical discomfort overwhelmed everything, Xuanqing forgot to go to Zhao Ziluo, and went back to bed to lie down again to make herself more comfortable, but it only improved for a moment, and even after lying down and resting, Xuanqing felt dizzy Yes, it seems that everything in front of me is spinning, and my head is very dizzy.

In a daze, Xuan Qing couldn't remember how long he had been lying there, and then it seemed that someone entered the room, and it seemed to be Zhao Ziluo, but he was not as nonsense as before, and his every move seemed very quiet.

In a trance, Xuan Qing thought he was dreaming, he seemed to have been fed something, and he seemed to vomit something, in short, he was so uncomfortable that he died.

This situation lasted until night, when the room was lit by warm candlelight, Xuan Qing became more awake, opened his eyes again, and saw Zhao Ziluo sitting by the bed.

"Master Zhao..."

"You're awake, you really scared me to death!" Zhao Ziluo hurriedly came up to Xuan Qing, and said worriedly with his forehead against Xuan Qing, "So you're so seasick, why didn't you tell me sooner? If we had known, we would have gone overland. gone."

It turned out to be on a boat, Xuan Qing suddenly realized.

"I didn't know we were going to take a boat...and I've never been on a boat before, so I didn't know I'd get seasick. I'm sorry to trouble you."

As soon as Zhao Ziluo heard it, his voice fell silent, and after a while of silence, he smiled and asked: "Don't be so polite, we will be together for a long time in the future, don't use honorifics, just call me Ah Luo... about seasickness It was my negligence, because taking a boat to my house is the fastest, and I didn't think much about your feelings, so I should say sorry."

Xuan Qing was flattered by his sincere words. He didn't understand why this young man was so kind to him. Logically speaking, he bought him home to get married with his lover as soon as possible. As a tool, Xuan Qing felt that he was really There is no such value.But he didn't have the guts to ask this question, and Zhao Ziluo didn't pay attention to this excessive tenderness, and still took care of him in his own way.

During the two-and-a-half-day trip on the boat, Xuan Qing spent most of the time in a half-dream and half-awake state. It is not clear what exactly happened, but what is certain is that Zhao Ziluo was taking care of him.This caring Xuan Qing secretly remembered that he believed that he would be able to repay his kindness in the near future──in his own unique way.

From the waterway to the land road, Xuan Qing's condition immediately improved. Although the time on the road was still drowsy, at least he didn't feel nauseous.

At this time, they hadn't arrived in Binzhou, but when A Luo saw that Xuan Qing couldn't bear the toss, he changed to land.

Xuan Qing is very grateful for such care, and at the same time apologizes to A Luo. After all, he can reach Binzhou very quickly by water, but he does not know how long it will take by land.But Arlo has a good temper and didn't mind these things.

The two hired a carriage, but Aluo did not find a groom. He drove the carriage himself, leaving Xuanqing alone in the carriage during the day, and only at night when he took Xuanqing out of the carriage to talk to him.

Every time he passes through a town, Aluo will stay for a few days. During the day, Xuanqing stays alone in the inn, and Aluo does not know where he has gone. At night, Aluo will come back on time and take him out for a walk.Because of this reason, the road seemed to be very long. They set off in the middle of autumn, but they didn't arrive until the beginning of winter.

"Ah Luo, is it okay for us to procrastinate like this?" Xuan Qing looked at A Luo who was having fun in front of him, and asked with some concern.

But the other party obviously didn't care too much, and replied nonchalantly: "It's okay, I have agreed with my family, we are going out to play for a while, come on, Xuan Qing, try this quickly and see if it suits you?"

As he said that, he handed Xuan Qing a velvet hat to put on, and then took a few steps back to look at Xuan Qing's appearance seriously, "Well... I look good, it matches the clothes I gave you , Alright, bought it!"

"Ah Luo..." Xuan Qing took off his hat feebly, he really didn't know what to say to this young master.

A Luo treated him really well. Xuan Qing has been bought so many times, and no owner has ever cared for him like this.Every day, Aluo would take him out to the night market in the evening. When it was cold, Aluo would find someone to order winter clothes for him. He had everything ready for boots and hats, and he only picked expensive ones.

It's just that Xuan Qing was puzzled by such excessive kindness, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the young master's gourd, he neither wanted to touch him impatiently, nor made any excessive demands, he just treated him blindly, It's incredible!

The two played like this until Binzhou, and when they returned to the mansion, it was almost the Spring Festival.

A Luo had already arranged a bedroom for Xuan Qing, and let him rest quietly for a few days after returning home without being disturbed, so Xuan Qing quickly recovered from the fatigue of the journey.

Feeling comfortable, Xuan Qing's first thought was to thank A Luo, but unfortunately, as soon as he stepped out of the room, the servants in the mansion told him that the master was not there, and he went back to his home.

At the beginning, Xuan Qing didn't understand it. It wasn't until the butler took him to have a meal and introduced the mansion by the way that he learned more about the things in A Luo's house.

"This mansion was given to the young master when the master and wife were alive. There were not many people living there before, so there were few servants. Now the young master wants to accept you as a concubine. The young masters and the eldest lady above have no objection. It’s just that you are not allowed to stay in the Wei Mansion…”

"Wei Mansion? Ah...I mean Young Master, isn't your surname Zhao?" Xuan Qing asked strangely.

After hearing this, the butler also asked strangely: "Why, everyone here knows that there are four young masters and one young lady in Wei's mansion. The young master's name is Wei Chengluo. There is a big age difference, so he is the most favored... Now, although the master and wife are gone, the young masters and ladies still spoil this younger brother to death!"

"..."

It turned out that I was still not as favored as I imagined!

Xuan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little lost.

He just said, how could anyone pay so much attention to a double who can't even be called a double lover. It turned out that he had been on guard from the beginning, and had no intention of taking him home, and even concealed his real name.

But this is also good, keep a little distance from each other, and avoid "endless troubles" in the future.Xuan Qing comforted herself, and after sighing, she didn't mind so much.

……

Xuan Qing has a low status, although she is a concubine, her actual status is the same as that of a servant.The servants in the house did not show any particular respect or contempt for him, which made him feel at ease.

But after staying for a while, there was one thing that caught his attention.

Since returning to Binzhou, the number of times Xuan Qing and A Luo have met can be counted on the fingers.During the day, Aluo was in Wei's mansion, and he would only come to this mansion at night, but he didn't come to find Xuanqing's warm bed, but simply to sleep with him, and he would also bring a lot of strange food and medicinal materials along the way.

This kind of life was fine at first, and Xuanqing could think that A Luo was busy with the Spring Festival in another mansion, but after the Spring Festival, it was still like this, which made people feel weird──you said, how could anyone pay for a waiter? Is it offered at home?

People are so strange, if you treat him too badly, you will hold grudges, but if you treat him too kindly, you will have suspicions and doubts, and worry that others have ulterior motives.The same is true for Xuan Qing, such a long time is enough for him to imagine all the possibilities in the future, and finally he couldn't hold back his anger. One night, when A Luo came to send this to that again, Xuan Qing mustered up his courage , want to ask him to understand.

"Alo, you...don't do anything?"

"Huh? What are you doing?" A Luo changed his coat, lay down next to Xuan Qing with a smile on his face, held him with one hand, and played with the hair hanging from his ears with the other, and asked, "What do you want me to do? Clothes, accessories Ornaments, food, medicinal materials...what else do you need?"

"Not these..." Xuan Qing pondered for a moment, and finally bit his lower lip and said, "It's been so long since you bought me home, but you didn't do anything, isn't that...too weird?"

"Do nothing?" Arlo still didn't understand.

"It's, it's... the bed thing... that kind of thing."

Even though he has been a young lady for so many years, Xuan Qing is still very conservative about such private matters. For this reason, Yin Huan has ridiculed him more than once for "being a whore and setting up a memorial archway", but he just can't change it, even though he knows that he will be like this for the rest of his life. Crouching under others, but he always has scruples in his heart. What's more, he still insists that this kind of thing should be done with the person he likes. Of course, he refers to those good people, and he is not included in it.

After saying this, Xuan Qing's cheeks turned red and hot. Even he himself felt that this reaction was fake, but he couldn't help it, but A Luo didn't seem to pay attention to it. After hearing the words, he just blinked his big innocent eyes , Seeing Xuan Qing felt uncomfortable.

Xuan Qing was uncomfortable being looked at, so he could only look away and continue the topic to ease his embarrassment, "We are in that kind of relationship, right? It's that, that... the master and the male pet..."

"I can't!" Halfway through the conversation, A Luo suddenly interrupted, "And you are not a male favorite, but a concubine."

"Ah?" The question was aimed at the first half of his sentence, as for the second half, Xuan Qing felt that there was no difference at all.

At this time, A Luo still showed an innocent look to explain his doubts, "Although I am taller and taller, but after all, I am only 16 years old. I have never had any concubines before, and I have never seen any erotic pictures. Okay. I’ve probably only heard a little about houses…”

"Unbelievable!" Xuan Qing widened his eyes, "Are you a little white rabbit?"

A Luo blinked again when he heard the words, his big watery eyes were innocent and harmless, as if to say——I am the little white rabbit!

This appearance made Xuan Qing believe it even if he didn't believe it, and suddenly he felt a headache, "Your parents will always say something about this kind of thing, right?"

"No, in fact, including my parents, brothers and sisters, none of them thought that I would really have sex with someone."

"why?"

This sounds strange to Xuan Qing. Although the Aluo family has no shortage of heirs, according to the common sense of rich people, men should always be full of children and grandchildren, wives and concubines, but from what he said, it seems that no one in their family Count on him.

A Luo smiled, deliberately put on a straight face, pretending to be serious and said: "Because everyone thinks I'm a 'freak'!"

Xuan Qing didn't understand these words even more, he looked left and right, and finally concluded with his own thinking: "I don't think you are strange, you are quite good."

Although he has not yet reached the age of seeing the world, the current A Luo has his unique innocence and simplicity. If he can continue to grow like this under the wings of his brothers and sisters, then in the next few years, at least he will not become a bad boy. man.

"Is that so..." A Luo sighed meaningfully, only for a moment, and immediately raised his smiling face again, "Someone told me that before..."

His words were full of nostalgia and emotion, and his expression was soft and full of emotion, Xuan Qing couldn't help being taken aback when he saw it.

This is the first time A Luo has shown such an expression, but Xuan Qing is both familiar and unfamiliar with it. He has seen it many times, but this expression has never been shown for him. To be honest, he is very envy.

Arlo must really like that guy!

But out of face, Xuan Qing didn't wear it. He took a deep breath, and after he calmed down, he was relieved—at least A Luo was only thinking about the person he liked, and he should have no other thoughts. At most, it's just another substitute, and it's okay.

"Let me help you!" Xuan Qing suddenly said without beginning or end.

"what?"

"After all, you bought me and took me as a concubine, didn't you?" Xuan Qing explained with a blushing face, "so it's not worthwhile to leave me alone. Treat it as a tuition fee, how about I teach you about the bed?"

These words are a bit shameless, but Xuan Qing feels that he has no skills, only proficiency in this way can be regarded as a part of repaying gratitude, teaching children to learn this kind of thing, no matter who he really falls in love with in the future, it will be easy to deal with.

"But... this kind of thing is to be with the person you like?" A Luo asked back.

"That's right, that's right." These words made Xuan Qing firmly believe that A Luo is a good boy, "So I won't really do anything to you, at most I will teach you with my hands or mouth, and I can let you see and learn. How much is up to you, okay?"

A Luo pursed his lips, thought about it for a long time, and finally raised a bright smile and agreed: "Then please, dear master."
